Chapter 189: Under Revision: Aleric's True Intention

Kayden and his four trusted companions walked through the grand corridors of the Akiya kingdom's palace, their footsteps echoing against the opulent marble floors. The weight of their mission pressed upon them as they carried the divided Fruit of Immortality to present it to Aleric, Kayden's father and the reigning monarch of Akiya.

Upon entering the magnificent throne room, they approached Aleric, who sat regally on his ornate throne. Aleric's eyes gleamed with anticipation as he saw the precious artifact in Kayden's hands.

"Kayden, my son," Aleric spoke with a proud smile, "you have done well. You have secured the Fruit of Immortality, a feat that will be remembered in the annals of our kingdom's history."

Kayden bowed respectfully before his father, the praise from Aleric filling him with a sense of accomplishment.

"Thank you, Father," Kayden replied, his voice filled with gratitude. "I am honored to have fulfilled this task for the kingdom."
