Chapter 16
"Yes, I have. If you come with me, I will be able to show you where she is."
Sol had been on guard ever since entered the castle. With this, he knew he was in trouble. With Dathan's explanation of the royalty magical abilities, he knew that either he had done something to anger the king or the 3rd princess. Or both.
With no other choice, he followed the snake up the aisle. It was surprisingly long even with space magic. The closer he walked to the king's table, the more people quieted down and looked his way.
After a while, he was right in front of the table. One of the Rose Knights on the steps told me what to do when he saw I was a First year.
"Kneel before your King and Queen." He said.
Sol knew what to do for this part as the old man had given him the basis on etiquette when Sol told him that he wanted into the walls to find Sylvia. He knew 'Your majesty' and the 'My lady' or 'lord'. They were basics that anyone would know, not that everyone used them.
Sol went to kneel in front of the king when the king asked his question.
"What is your name?!" He asked.
"This humble knights name is Sol, Your majesty. I am a commoner from eh outer wall here to train as a Rose knight," Sol replied.
The king thought about what he could do next. He didn't want to question this boy in front of everyone so he came to a decision.
"Trainee Sol, I want you to report to the thrown room tomorrow after breakfast. Do so or else you will not see tomorrow." The king said.
Sol found his wording a little weird. If he did not meet the king tomorrow, he would not see tomorrow? Either way, Sol got the gist.
"As you command, my king." He said.
Then Sol started the trek back to his seat.
...
After everyone was finished with dinner, they all started pilling out. This process was a lot slower than before because every one of the knights and knights in training in the hall finished their dinner was different for every person.
Sol really didn't need the food as sustenance but he really did need someone's life force. On his way back, Sol started to look around to find some person that he could suck. He saw a few people that would look fun to play with but he didn't think he could get any of them into his room tonight.
He decided to look for someone who he could eat that was in his dorm building.
Luckily for him, there was a roster in the building with names and room numbers. He scrolled down them, looking for a room number close to his. Preferably a female because he didn't want to force a dude and it would be much easier to have a female fall for him so he could keep her as his personal toy.
While he was looking, people were coming and going, not giving Sol another thought. All except one. There was one little girl who seemed to have taken an interest in Sol. She was a small girl, who had hair as black as night. Sol had noticed her awhile ago but didn't do anything because he wanted to see what she would do.
After a while, Sol got bored and found a name. It was on the 20th floor and was a boy, sadly. But, it didn't look like anyone would miss him the higher up you are, the lower-ranking you are in your branch, and the knight system as a whole.
Sol started to make his journey back up to his room to wait until night as no one would see him if he made a cloak from all the black string he had stored up in his modeling ring. Also, he wanted to see what the girl would do. If she did nothing, then the boy would be having the last night of his life.
...
Sol had made it up to his room and was designing his killer clothes. He left a whole in the back because his tentacles always seemed to break the cloths when he used them.
Speaking of his tentacles, he had become a lot more adept at using them. He learned to control the size which he never thought he could do. He also got better at controlling them. He had used them so much in the forest near the old man's house that they had almost become completely autonomous when it came to fighting.
While in the forest, he also modified them to be able to create wholes where he could things like sticks and use them as swords. He wished to try it out with real swords but he never had the time or the money when he was with the old man. What they did was create a suction to hold onto the hilt or whatever surface he wanted and it would create a vacuum that could suction to everything.
To test if they really worked, he told his ring to make his a sword, and out popped a beautiful sword that would make any army man fall to his knees. He brought out one of his tentacles and modified it to his suction mod. He then put the swords right in front of the whole in is his tentacle and activated the vacuum.
Instantly, the child of the sword was sucked until the crossguard. Sol swung his tentacle around a little bit, checking out its movement, how it felt. It was like having a third arm with a blade instead of fingers.
Then, he felt an interesting presence outside his door.
