CHAPTER 175: CHAPTER 175 EVENING

Roman gasped as his body jolted up his breathing was heavy, his clothes were sticking to his body as he was drenched in sweat.

That last part was even more intense as he was sure the founder was looking at him.

’What the hell was that...is that a dream or what, and how did he notice me towards the end, it also didn’t feel like a dream, more like a memory’

’The history books say the founder created magic before demons, but even the founder was fighting demons during his time...or is all this just a dream?’ Roman mumbled to himself as he stood up.

He quickly took off his shirt and pants and went into the bathroom, taking off his underwear too.

He stepped into the bath after using a cleansing crystal and relief washed over him.

Roman leaned back in the bath, letting the warm water relax his body then he dipped his head under for a moment, the water quieting everything around him, before coming up again with a slow breath.

He washed himself with a piece of cloth, and after his bath, he felt calmer, like the heaviness from the dream was finally fading away, though he could still see the scene in the dream as if it were reality.

After some time, he stepped out, dried himself, and put on fresh clothes, a plain dark tunic and trousers designed extremely well with bright stones. He pulled on his boots, ran a hand through his wet hair, and went to the window.

The sun was gone, the sky was glowing orange, and he knew night was coming.

Roman let out a sigh and walked to the door. He glanced back at the room once, then stepped outside the door, he needed to walk outside.

The maids outside the room bowed their heads as he walked away. One of them came to him, as if she remembered something.

"Your mother came looking for you. She left when she saw you were asleep," the maid spoke with her head bowed.

"Ohh, thanks... I’ll visit her later" Roman spoke.

His mom and sister were somewhere in the palace; he could ask, but he wasn’t going to see them. He was still more concerned about his dream.

The first dream he had where it felt like he was battling demons was not as realistic as this; that one felt more like a dream, but this one...he had a feeling he was in the memories of the founder, but he was conflicted because he had no idea it was possible.

He wasn’t related to the founder, other than the fact that he could also use all magic, but that was due to the fact that he had the system probably, and since he came from another world, he could possibly be related to the founder, unless the previous owner of the body was.

As Roman walked towards the door leading outside of the palace, something came to his mind. He actually saw the runes the founder used to cast the gravity spell. He saw, what if he tried it to see if it was a real spell?

Roman stopped thinking, ’That’s almost impossible for me right now, he used three runes and even though I can perfectly remember the shape, I can’t create three runes all at once’

After he and Victoria began training, rune magic was actually one of the hardest spells to learn. It was incredibly simple to form, but hard to get the spell right, and that was just one rune; this spell required three runes all at once.

Roman continued walking forward as the door to the outside was opened by maids at the door and he stepped out.

Roman stepped outside and felt the cool evening air brush against his skin. The sky was darker now, with only a faint glow of orange still clinging to the edge of the horizon.

He walked slowly across the stone path, his boots tapping lightly against the ground.

The palace gardens stretched out on both sides, filled with flowers that gave off a faint sweet smell. He had seen and noticed this before, but this time, he truly had nowhere to be, so he just admired the palace.

Roman looked around as he walked, some maids were moving around, and Royal guards were stationed at almost every corner of the palace.

’I should go to the training ground, Aurelia might be there’

Roman began walking towards the training ground, as he knew Aurelia was a training freak; if given the chance, she would train every time. He still couldn’t believe she was a princess. After spending time with her, she didn’t behave like a princess at all.

Roman kept walking, his hands behind his back, his eyes wandering from the guards to the stars above.

After walking for a while, he could see the training ground from afar. He passed the arena, and instead of seeing just Aurelia, he could see six of the girls.

After walking closer he could see the other three sitting, only six of them were training, and even Joanna and Reina were there.

Just like the training ground at the academy, this one had magical dummies that could take spells without damage or self-repair after taking damage.

Reina was training her hand combat with Mira, both of them were facing each other, and there was a guard close to the girls.

Aurelia was training with her sword, and the rest were shooting spells.

Roman didn’t speak, he just walked into the training ground and towards Aurelia as wooden swords were beside her, and she was also using one.

He picked up the sword as she stopped what she was doing.

"You know how to use a sword?" Aurelia asked a little surprised.

"I know how to swing one, let’s practice," Roman said, and a smile formed on her face. "Why are you smiling like that?"

"I’ve never had a training partner since I went to the academy, it’s nice to have someone to face me"
