As if sensing Darius' intention to quickly leave, the servant returned in a hurry after spending less than 2 minutes inside. He sincerely bowed to Darius this time, a light of interest hidden in the depths of his eyes as he spoke.

"Please follow me, Lord Stone. Our Crown Princess has summoned you to her personal quarters.

"

Darius nodded for the servant to take the lead, but inwardly, he sighed. This 13-year-old girl appeared to be quite the cunning one. He was unsure if it was a natural talent or whether her harsh environment had trained her to behave in such a way.

Well, he would find out soon enough.

The castle was quite broad, with many open hallways having arches beautifully displaying the landscape of Ando City. No matter which part of the royal castle's external hallways one looked out from, they were guaranteed a breathtaking scenario.

The higher they went, the breezier it got and the more spectacular the view became. Eventually, it stopped, as they entered into the inner hallways where the floors were neatly carpeted and there were doors on either side leading to the higher and lower floors.

On the 8th floor, they reached their destination. The double doors at the end of the hallway were carved in flowery patterns and had strangely shaped handles.

The servant knocked lightly at the doors, before announcing himself as well as Darius and his servant Gunner. The trio waited for a few seconds before a soft voice called them in.

The servant pushed the door open and the duo entered without hesitation, leaving the servant outside as he dared not enter the room of the Crown Princess without being specifically summoned.

Darius and Gunner were welcomed to the largest chamber they had seen so far. It could easily rival the size of 6 or more suites in The Great Escape inn, and also had the opulence to match those.

Darius could not fathom, for the life of him, why a single girl would need this much living space. There was almost everything here that the heart could desire.

From bookshelves, desks, sofas, settees to a small kitchen, multiple bathrooms, a large canopy bed, windows that were opened to allow air in, and even a place to perform crafts like alchemy and tailoring.

Darius eventually laid eyes on the Crown Princess herself, who was seated at one of her 'lounges' with two female servants in a traditional maid attire standing behind her.

He Analyzed them and nearly lost his cool when looking at their stats.

Darius' lips twitched as he moved to sit opposite the Crown Princess. Gunner came to stand behind him and his green eyes lit up as he read the details his master passed over to him via the system.

Both of them understood that these three women were extremely special.

On the surface, the two maids looked like simple servants, but it turned out they were powerful Adepts who had awoken as fighters with a focus on speed and assassination. The 'berserk' part likely had to do with their almost maddening Agility.

Darius and Gunner's base Agility was less than 1

/4th theirs. If they could move and maneuver around foes with ease, feeling like they were the wind, then the two ladies with 85 points each should be able to stab the duo over 300 times before either of them would realize how they had died.

And then there was the princess herself. While Darius was supposed to be going through a harrowing quest to raise himself to a Journeyman, the Crown Princess wasn't too far off from becoming an Adept.

At the tender age of 13, she already reached 45 points in Intellect, only 5 away from Darius. Once she reached his level, the Mind Power within her would be brewing from her psyche.

If one were to find any fault with her, it would have to be in regards to her physical stats which were abysmal in comparison, yet it made sense.

Not because she was a girl, but because she was bloody 13 years old!

Her two maids must have been chosen to make up for her shortcoming, both having high stats in all physical fields, most likely earned through years of diligent practice, training, and life and death battles. And although they were fighters and not mages, each boasted a rather high Intellect.

Nevertheless, they were a far cry from the princess herself. She must have learned to read about 8-9 years ago and within such a short time frame she had grown close to the 50 points threshold.

This could only be explained by her having access to spellbooks that were - of course - less potent than what Darius had made for Foldo, but much higher than the good quality ones that Adept mages wrote for their Official Apprentices.

As if that wasn't enough, this girl had a higher Charisma than Darius and Gunner combined. At 15 and 16 points respectively, they were both considered extremely handsome lads that could even charm prostitutes into having sex with them for free.

At 32 points, it would be surprising if Jeanne didn't have an army of rabid suitors that chased after her on a daily. It would certainly explain why the servant from before had wanted to check in with her before allowing Darius in.

And yet there was one thing that Darius found even scarier than all her other high stats... her abnormally high Luck.

It was the highest he had seen since he had spawned into this world.
