Chapter 9

Alaric, who is increasingly skilled in the arts of swordsmanship and magic, is still shrouded in ignorance about his true identity as the crown prince. Although he feels an invisible call guiding him back to the kingdom, he has not yet realized his true position.

Alaric's journey took him through increasingly dense forests and dividing rivers. Every experience he faces strengthens his character, and his courage is increasingly tested by the obstacles he encounters along the way.

One day, Alaric discovered a dark and mysterious cave. With a heart full of courage, he decided to explore the cave. Inside, he discovers a series of ancient carvings depicting the history of the kingdom and the lost heir to the throne.

Alaric (reading in surprise): "This... this is the history of the kingdom. But, why do I feel like something is related to myself?"

As he continued studying the carvings, an old shaman appeared from the darkness of the cave. With eyes full of wisdom, the shaman looked into Alaric's eyes.

Shaman: "Prince Alaric, the lost heir. Finally, the time has come."

Alaric, shocked and confused, tried to digest the shaman's words. An understanding of his true destiny began to coalesce in his mind, and a sense of shock mixed with a feeling of responsibility grew in his heart.

Alaric: "I... Prince Alaric? How is this possible?"

After the revelation of his identity, Alaric felt connected to his true destiny. The old shaman, who is believed to be the keeper of royal secrets, decides to guide Alaric on his steps to the top of the throne.

Shaman: "Prince Alaric, it is time for you to understand the true power within you. This is the legendary sword, Senzanara, which can only be summoned by true royal descendants."

With hand movements full of mantra and wisdom, the shaman summoned Senzanara. The sword emerged from a bright beam of light, and Alaric felt magical energy flowing through him as he held it.

Shaman: "Senzanara is your family's legacy. It is not only a weapon, but also a symbol of power and justice that you must bring back to the kingdom."

Alaric, holding Senzanara with renewed determination, felt the immense power contained within it. The sword is not just a tool of combat, but a marker of leadership that calls him to protect and lead his people.

Shaman: "Prince Alaric, the fate of this kingdom depends on you. Your journey is not over. Use your wisdom and the power of Senzanara to bring peace back to your homeland."

Alaric, gifted by the shaman with advice and wisdom, leaves the cave and continues his journey with Senzanara at his side. The legendary sword shines brightly, radiating courage and hope amidst the darkness that threatens the kingdom.

In his heart, Alaric felt increasingly ready to face every obstacle and lead the kingdom towards the lost justice. With Senzanara in his hands, he is the true heir, ready to write a new chapter in the history of the kingdom he once left behind.

As Alaric continued his journey with Senzanara beside him, the coolness of the beautiful forest and river was soon replaced by the sound of monster hooves and terrified screams. The village where he lives with his adoptive parents is hit by an attack by vicious creatures.

Alaric rushes home, the legendary sword Senzanara ready in hand, exuding courage and determination to protect those he loves. However, when he reached the village, the sight he encountered cut his beating heart.

A peaceful village has now become a ravaged battlefield. Houses burned, and villagers ran in panic. Unknown monsters run rampant, causing destruction with every step they take.

Alaric (with determination): "Senzanara, it's time for us to protect this village."

He engaged himself in fierce combat, swinging the Senzanara with skill and courage. Monster after monster fell under his attacks, but their attacks did not stop.

However, in the midst of the chaos, Alaric saw something that broke his heart. His adoptive parents lay lifeless amidst the ruins of their burned home.

Alaric (with sadness): "No... can't!"

He struggled to hold back his tears, but deep sadness crept into his heart. Senzanara glowed brighter, giving additional power to each swing of his sword.

In anger and sadness, Alaric continued to fight. He helps the injured villagers, and together, they try to repel the monsters. Despite his physical injuries, Alaric insists on protecting what remains of the village still standing.

After a fierce battle, the village was finally freed from the monster threat. However, the victims left a trace of sadness in Alaric's heart. He knelt in the middle of the destroyed village, contemplating and praying for peace for the souls of his adoptive parents who had been victims of such cruelty.

Alaric (with new determination): "I will not allow this evil to continue. Senzanara, we must eradicate this darkness and return peace to this land."

With a heart full of despair, Alaric continued his journey, carrying the heavy burden of responsibility as the true heir and protector of his people. Senzanara, the sword of legend, shines brightly, ready to help Alaric face any obstacles that may come his way.

Returning to the present, fear and worry adorn the palace that was once filled with darkness. Queen Ravenna, who had felt safe in her evil power, now felt an unexpected shock. The news about the return of Prince Alaric, who he thought had been dead for a long time, created a wave of panic in his heart.

Queen Ravenna (with anger): "How could an heir who was supposed to die come back alive? This is impossible!"

Hastily, Queen Ravenna summoned her minions, her magicians and loyal advisors, to plan the palace's defense and confront this unexpected threat.

Agent 1: "Queen, this news could shake our power. Prince Alaric could thwart our plans."

Queen Ravenna (frightened): "We must not underestimate him. We must destroy him before he destroys everything."

Isabella, the Grand Duke's daughter, who is Alaric's fiancee, has a key role in unlocking the relationship between Alaric and the court. He managed to convince his family to invite Alaric as a royal hero, after his struggle in defeating a wave of monsters and saving the city.

When Alaric arrived at the palace as a respected hero, he was greeted with great joy by Isabella and her family. However, behind this happiness, there is a deeper secret.

Isabella (with caution): "Prince Alaric, there is something I must tell you. My maid, who has faithfully served me since childhood, is your biological mother, Seraphina. She survived the threat of Queen Ravenna and lived in exile, disguised as maid in this palace."

Alaric (shocked): "My birth mother? How could this happen?"

Isabella (crying): "He protected you by sacrificing himself. However, he never stopped loving you. We lived in the shadows, watching your journey from a distance."

Seraphina (emerging from the darkness): "Alaric, my son, despite living apart, your mother's heart is always with you."

This family, separated for many years, is finally reunited. Alaric, Isabella, and Seraphina hugged each other, filling their hearts with family happiness and warmth.
