-The Next Morning-

Lee wakes up and goes down to get breakfast, there he sees Lydia eating breakfast so he went towards her and waited for breakfast to come, after 5 minutes the breakfast came to the table it was bacon and fried eggs and a cup of coffee.

After Breakfast Lee asked Her: "So we reached the town what are we going to do now?"

Lydia answers Him: "We are going to take a ride towards the expedition that is coming soon towards The Canyon."

Lee asked: Why?

Lydia answers: "Because The road, to the Canyon, is close to the road, to the Lunaria Kingdom."

Lee asked Her: "So How much time do we have until that expedition?"

Lydia Answers: "We have 2 weeks until the expedition starts, but we do have to sign up in a week."

Lee asked Her: "So its fine if I do go my own way during a week?"

Lydia Answers: "Yes its fine well meet again here in 1 week until then goodbye Leo."

Lee answers: "Goodbye Lydia, well meet again in a week."

After saying goodbye to Leo, Lydia goes to a dark hallway and uses a strange object and contacts the Lunaria Kingdom.

afterwards, a voice is heard: "Good to see that you're alive my daughter what about your older brother wasn't he with you?"

Lydia Responded:"Good day Mother I have some good news and some bad news which one would you want to hear first?"

The queen quivering her voice commanded Lydia: "Whats the Bad News?"

Lydia Forced to answer, answered: "The bad news is that older brother is dead."

The queen after hearing that piece of news started tearing up but still asked with a commanding voice: "HOW?"

Afterwards, Lydia speaks of what happened between her and her brother.

The Queen almost fainting still asked: "How did he die?"

Lydia Answered: "That I don't know but I can say who killed him."

The Queen asked: "Who was it?"

Lydia answered:"His name is Leo Devon he looks like he has 17 or 18 years old has black hair; black eyes; medium long straight hair; and his body is tall and thin."

The Queen asked: "How are we going to bring him here then?"

Lydia Answered:"After the Expedition il bring him here."

The Queen nodding and said: Goodbye My precious Daughter do come home soon I miss you.

Lydia Answered: Goodbye Mother, I miss you too.

Afterwards, the communication ended and Lydia disappeared from that dark hallway.

-Inside Lunaria Castle-

The Queen is talking to her servants: Prepare some guards, and our strongest members to capture the traitor Lydia and her companion Leo.

The Guards Answered the Queen: "It shall be Done immediately majesty!"

The Queen Continues talking to herself after the guards Leave

"You think that you can fool me, Lydia. Lennon wouldn't ever do something like lust over her little sister, you tried to seduce him with your looks. So you could be the new queen to govern the Lunaria Kingdom well im not going to let you do that my Daughter."

All this happened without Lee, having the slightest clue of whats happening.

After saying goodbye to Lydia, Lee looked for an adventure tavern.

He asked some people around, after 5 to 10 minutes he reached the tavern.

He opened the doors to the tavern, and there he saw multiple adventurers, some drinking others talking, and some taking on missions.

Lee walked towards the counter and saw a lady around 20 years old she had brown eyes; brown hair, and looked tall had a good figure all around.

The receptionist Lady asked Lee:"What can I help you with?"

Lee woke up of his daydreaming and answered:"I want to register as an adventurer and take on the missions."

The receptionist Lady took a closer look at Lee before answering:"You can be an adventurer but that requires you passing the adventurer test."

Lee asked:"Adventurer Test?"

The receptionist Lady continues:"Yes adventurer test to take it on you need to pay a fee of 2 silver."

Lee Gave the money to the receptionist Lady and answered: "I want to take on the adventurer test."

The receptionist Lady answered:"Alright you can take on the adventurer test but I should warn you only 5 out of 10 people have passed it."

Lee asked:"When does it begin? and in the meantime can I do missions here until it begins?"

The receptionist Lady Answered:"It begins in 3 days and yes but you can only do missions with D rank."

Lee said:"Okay can you tell me any good missions around?"

The receptionist Lady Answered: "hmm Good missions for D rank, let me check hmm we have this mission that requires you to kill 10 slimes, and another mission that requires you to kill 5 wolfs which one do you want?"

Lee asked:"can´t I take more than 1?"

The receptionist Lady answered:"Yes you can but 2 at max since your not an official adventurer."

Lee answered:"then I want both."

The receptionist Lady said:"To confirm that you killed 5 wolfs and 10 slimes just bring this along."

The receptionist Lady gave me something like a black cube.

The receptionist Lady continued:"this here will tell us if you cleared the missions."

Lee said goodbye to the receptionist Lady and went towards the forest.
