The King Beast unleashed a second roar as it waved its wings, flashing at Hypersonic Speed into the distance, leaving a trail of flames on the sky as it left the Sky-Flame State. That was not a problem for Damian, Cain, and Krane, but the young princess was not as strong as the trio. Luckily for her, the Second Sky-Flame Prince put a hand over her shoulder, using his Essence Wave to stabilize her body on top of the beast. Once the King Beast finally left the Sky-Flame State and entered the Cicada Forest, the Runic Inscription on its chest began to glow, and soon its aura and that of all those on top of it began to fade. Cain was surprised by the effect of the Runic Inscription, and while it would not work in a fight, he doubted that even Great King Beasts could detect its presence, allowing them to course freely through the sky. Even at Hypersonic Speed and in a straight line, it would take a lot for the group to reach Eden, and they could not train since their auras would break the cloaking power of the Inscription, so they carried on with their conversation. "By the way, Cain, what title do you expect to attain upon your Arcane Noble Ceremony?" While the title that Cain would take would be given according to his merits and power, the ones that would calculate were not machines but the Great Scholars of the Empire. Since that was the case, determining his future noble rank was difficult. Cain stared at Damian when he heard that, and he shook his head. "I don't really know, nor do I care too much. As long as it is beyond that of a Count, I am more than happy. Honestly, nobility matters very little to me." Since the matter regarding the Arcane Noble Ceremony was going to be a topic on this journey, Cain decided to be honest with the group. Damian was slightly surprised but did not find it out of tune with the young man. It was clear that to Cain, titles and the like mattered very little, and he was someone who relied on his brute power to stand in the world. "I understand, but if your title were to be that of a Marquis, you could access the Imperial Armory. I understand you lost your Natural Holy Weapon, but you could get another." Cain's eyes widened when he heard that. He knew that upon achieving a title, there was a chance to reclaim a portion of land as his own, but he was unaware they would grant him access to an armory. "That is new information for me." "Oh, right. Well, actually, it's not something everybody knows. First of all, the number of Marquises is not that great, and secondly, to obtain that reward, you would have to do your ceremony under the support of an Imperial Prince."Nôv(el)B\\jnn Cain nodded as he heard that part since it made sense. It was not just that he needed to become a Marquis, but he would have to seek the help of an Imperial Prince, which might be even more challenging. Nevertheless, there was a chance now since he was about to meet the Fourth Imperial Prince. It would be a lie if Cain said he did not want a new Holy Weapon. He would gladly use it if it could adjust to his battle style, especially if he found a technique that allowed him to deploy power even greater than the one unleashed by his arms and legs. "I could put in a good word with the Fourth Imperial Prince, but the rest would depend on you." Cain smiled as he and Krane revealed their A.I. Chip codes and identities. The guard was a little taken aback, but he soon verified the information and saw that Krane was categorized as an MC, a military criminal. Although it was very unusual for people like them to enter the capital, no rule said they couldn't since they were under the control of a military officer. "I see. Everything is in order, so you are free to go." The guard nodded and marked their A.I. Chips with the clearance to cross the gates. Cain nodded to the man before glancing at Damian.

Although Cain's presence would be a big win for Damian, raising his standing in the eyes of the Fourth Prince, it wouldn't be worth it if he brought a convicted criminal who had harmed the Imperial Family. Cain smiled before briefly shaking his head. He had already learned about every crime that Krane had committed, even the ones no one knew about. "It could bring problems with certain people from the Collapsing Lightning Sector, but those same people hate me to the bone, so there's no difference between his presence and mine." Damian smiled once he heard that. He didn't really care about crimes committed outside of the Prometheus Sector since they couldn't affect him. "If that's the case, then let's go. I am sure the Fourth Imperial Prince will be happy to meet you." Cain nodded. He was also intrigued to meet the Fourth Imperial Prince. The man must not be so old, and he was a direct descendant of the current Emperor, the Golden Emperor. Soon after they entered the city, they saw hundreds of people crossing the street and several dozens of stores. Although they were interesting, Cain didn't lose himself in them since they had little importance. All the items sold in this place were meant for Wave Warriors and maybe Wave Champions. Stores that could sell valuable items for powerhouses were in the core of the Silver City, and not just anyone could enter them. Still, Cain's eyes didn't stop moving as he glanced at everything around him. He could feel several powerful presences in every direction, and it was clear that this place was a den of tigers and dragons.
