Chapter 17: Aftermath-1


    CLUSTERFUCK!!


    One word that can describe the Zahrah province right now!


    (Author note: I will use province instead of domain.)


    After the group returned the first thing they did was to pass a decree and announce a ban.


    A ban of 10000km.


    Such a ban will surely cause some displeasure but when ites from all the strong cultivators of a province the displeasure turns into curiosity.


    Curiosity about the cause of the ban.


    Though there were kinds of rumours, no one was brave enough to go and ask the rulers of their regions about the cause.


    Rumours since the ban was around the area where the phenomenon happened.


    Most of them assumed some kind of treasure or legacy ground appeared and they wanted to keep everything.


    Some middle powers joined up to rally and convince the rulers and other powerhouses so that they can also get a chance to gain some advantages.


    But Malkam came forward and dered it would be a war if anyone steps in the banned territory.


    The atmosphere immediately became tense in the province.


    Many powers disappointed and dissatisfied, started making their own ns.


    The tension in the air was rising and just like that a day passed when a sudden bomb was dropped to the people of the province.


    "Xia Changhe''s first son, the crowned prince of Xia state, Xia chen will seed the throne"


    This sudden announcement caught the cultivators off guard. No one expected Xia changhe to pass the throne to his son when he was still healthy.


    No reasons were announced. Just when everyone was getting over the news another bomb was dropped next day.


    "The first young mistress of the ''Tour Magique'', from today onwards will be young mistress Lilias."


    (Author note: ''Tour Magique'' is the French term for Magic Tower.)


    Tour Magique, one of the strongest powers in the continent which houses most of the magicians of the continent.


    The tour Magique in Zahrah domain was just a branch. The first mistress of every branch held importance because they will be the head of the branch.


    Every branch of Tour Magique will have 2 people take the helm of the organisation.


    The first young mistress and the first young master of the organisation will always marry each other and both will be the head of the organisation.


    The first young mistress and the first young master is selected from the younger generation not based on their strength but based on their potential, talent and intelligence.


    Freya was also no exception to such rule since she was talented, young, and intelligent.


    But she was a bit special in this organisation since she did not ept the marriage with the ''first young master''. And the most bizzare thing was that no one neither forced her nor persuaded her as if this was expected.


    But most people knew it was because she was strongest in the branch and no one could force her. But that was not the only reason.


    It was because Freya was ''exiled'' from her family. She was exiled in this remote province as a punishment.


    Even the title ''first young mistress'' was given out of respect even though she never cared about it and everyone already knew this.


    No one knows what happened to Freya and Xia changhe but there are lot of rumours going there.


    Now even mortals of the province could feel subtle changes in the environment of Zahrah province since 2 such big news were bombarded in just 3 days.


    ***


    It was now fourth day after the fight. Things were slowly returning to normal.


    People started epting the changes.


    In a popr tavern where normal cultivators gather, there were discussions going on about the most recent changes.


    "You might be right, His majesty might have gone into secluded cultivation" said a man while chugging a drink.


    There is only one person who would be called ''His majesty'' in Zahrah province and that is the king of Xia state.


    "Yes, I mean there are no other reasons right? Or else he might have just gone for some adventure?" replied a ck haired middle aged man simrly chugging a simr drink.


    "Adventure huh? Maybe near that ce?" the first man asked.


    "How would normal people like us even know?" sighed the second man.


    "But hey what about the first young mistress Freya?" Someone from another table asked while taking an interest in their topic.


    "She is not the first young mistress now" Laughed the first man.


    "Well.. you are right" Thest man got a little embarrassed when corrected.


    "I think she might have returned to her family. I mean she was exiled right? Maybe they called upon her?" A middle ageddy sitting at the counter replied in a bored tone.


    "Well why now?" asked the third man who got corrected.


    "Who knows, they are all big shots they think differently than us" the second man replied whileughing loudly.


    "Hahaha yeah" Replied the third man.


    "Well I heard a rumor from someone in the pce" An old man who was caressing his beard replied.


    (AN:- Cannot miss an old man right~?)
