Novel Full Chapter 400 The Real Reason
” This is your room my prince, also, the lord is wondering if you wish to join him for dinner today ” The servant said as she showed Lucius his room.
” Tell the lord it will be my pleasure to join him for dinner ” Lucius replied as he entered the guest bedroom in the palace and closed the doors shut. .𝗰𝗼𝗺
Once inside, Lucius frowned deeply, in the race to become the crown prince, he was currently taking every chance that he had to make diplomatic connections.
According to his information sources, Ravan had no inclinations towards him or Felix, which meant that he could be poached or subdued, however, his talks with the man proved to be extremely difficult.
Not only was Ravan very measured with his words, he deliberately said things in a way where it could be seen he did not particularly favour Lucius which indicated to the young prince that Ravan might not be inclined to support him.
‘ Is it because the Saint Maximus clan prefers my brother over me? ‘ Lucius wondered as based on this information he decided to change his next strategy.
The real reason behind Lucius’s visit was not to give Max the appropriate documents from his father but to buy Geonmi planet from him while also trying to buy his loyalty in the process.
The previous crown prince Marcus had made a deal with the then lord Will Kingsman to explore the ruins of the lost civilization found on the planet while looking for new mining sites.
It was a breakthrough discovery on a desolate area of the Geonmi planet, and the exact details of the discovery were kept a very tight secret.
The initial estimations of the search found that there might be a thriving civilization on Geonmi about 6-7000 years ago, which was wiped out by some god in the chaos era war, with the ancient city all bust lost to the sands of time.
Since Geonmi was widely unlivable with its red iron rich soil not suitable to grow plants, it was believed that the planets only use was to mine iron, however, within the surface about 200 metres underground there was an ancient city with a once thriving ecosystem that could potentially have countless treasures inside.
Unfortunately Will Kingsmans abrupt death and his brothers downfall made it so that nobody was aware of the treasure mine that was Geonmi as Lucius wanted to take advantage of that very lack of knowledge to exploit Ravan.
Lucius had been lucky to find this planet’s secret, as after his brother had been ousted from Ixtal, he was allotted his brothers large room in the palace where he found documents related to Geonmi and it’s secret
The entire iron in the planet was worth around 15-20 billion gold coins, which would take at least 30 years to be mined completely.
Lucius intended to offer 30 billion gold coins directly to Ravan to buy the planet off him, but on second thought he decided to involve Ravan in the exploration so as to gain his loyalty and share the spoils of the search while halving the risk.
Deciding to talk to him about this over dinner, Lucius closed his eyes and began meditating to sharpen his mind.

( Meanwhile Max )
” Asiva Bloodforged or Asiva Skyfall what do you prefer? ” Max asked Asiva as he decided that since he was going to marry her, he might as well let her choose her last name
Asiva put her hand on her chin as she contemplated the question carefully before saying ” How about we mix them both? ”
In Asiva’s mind the story behind Skyfall was beautiful, but the word ‘ Bloodforged ‘ definitely had more impact.
So she decided to take the story aspect of Skyfall and merge it with the badass name Bloodforged and make it ‘ Bloodfall ‘ραпdα `n?ν?| сom
” How about Bloodfall? ” Asiva inquired innocently as she gauged Max’s reaction.
‘ The Bloodfall clan, what do you think of that grandpa Drax? ‘ Max wondered in his head as he consulted the old A.I.
‘ It’s a good name, it’s meaning can be translated as your bloodline won’t fall and also be translated as if your enemies face you, their blood shall fall.
It has both symbolic meaning and a regal aura around it.
Since you can’t keep your real last name as your clan name like most clans do, I think this option suits your needs the best ‘ Drax said in Max’s mind as he greenlighted Max’s idea to name his clan Bloodfall.
‘ Ravan Bloodfall The King Of Vampires ‘ Max thought as he gave himself a self depreciating laughter, although it had an amazing ring to it, he was far from achieving it at the moment.
” If you like it, then Bloodfall it shall be ” Max said as he grabbed Asiva’s slender waist and pulled her in for a kiss.
The couple kissed passionately as Asiva enjoyed Max’s unwavering warmth and attention, feeling lucky that she had such a loving man by her side.
She wanted to escalate things from the kiss, but unfortunately for her someone knocked on the door interrupting the duo.
” Yes? ” Max asked loudly, slight anger audible in his voice
” Sir – Prince Lucius is ready for dinner, you had agreed to join him ” the servant announced as Max sighed deeply.
Looking conflicted between the flushed face of Asiva and the door, Max could feel his will being torn between a conflict, but after immense restraint he straightened his robes and said ” Will be there ”
Asiva lowered her eyes, slightly disappointed but quickly hid it well.
Her boyfriend was also the lord, he needed to tend to his political duties as well.
pαndα`noν?1~сoМ Tidying up herself, she followed Max to the dinner hall putting her brightest fake smile on her face befitting of the future mistress of the place.
