The hostess then led Adrian to a place that is secluded that also has a small garden. He was sent into a space that looks like an open area but it is a special garden that is surrounded by a barrier. Adrian could feel that the space shifted a bit but it was made using arrays instead of space magic.

“Welcome, benefactor.” The head hostess stated as she smoked her pipe.

The head hostess looked like a tough lady yet elegant at the same time. She also has an eyepatch on her left eye as a small scar could be seen. She also wore a black kimono with marks of a red butterfly. She laid down on a cushion on top of a mat like the boss that she is.

“Thank you for having me. It seems that you have already been informed of the thing that I need assistance with.” Adrian stated.

“The message that we got was only to aid you in finding something that might be hidden in the imperial city. The thing that needs to be found was not said to us in detail.” The head hostess stated.

“I guess I did not tell the other hostess of the item that we are looking for. I am looking for something called a Sun Stone.” Adrian stated.

“A Sun Stone? I am afraid that even we do not possess an item that is called like that. Even in the imperial city, there is no stone that is called a sun stone.” The head hostess stated with confidence.

Adrian did not doubt the head hostess as their information network is more powerful compared to theirs. The only thing that he has leads on is that the Sun God Ra stated that there is a sun stone in the imperial city or at least at the area. Seeing that the head hostess is not familiar with the Sun Sone, he proceeded to describe the features.

“It is a stone that has the power to absorb energy from the sun. It is easy to find as it is mostly composed of sun energy. It is not hot by the touch though as it is made using a special ingredient. As for its look, it might vary since it has been countless years and might have been handled by human hands.” Adrian stated.

“I am thinking while you were describing it but there is no stone in the imperial city that contains sun energy.” The head hostess stated which made Adrian a bit troubled.

“This is the place that was pointed to us though.” Adrian muttered as he looked at the scroll that was presented to them. .𝒎

“There is no stone like the one that you are describing but there is an item that possesses the power of the sun in the imperial city.” The head hostess stated.

“Really! What is it?!” Adrian exclaimed in excitement.

“I would not be too excited, benefactor. The item that contains that sun energy is an item that is under the ownership of the Imperial Family. It is called Yata no Kagami and is actually a mirror that has the energy of the sun. It is a powerful artifact that is under the care of the imperial family as it is said to have been crafted by the ancestors of the current imperial family which is the Goddess Amaterasu.” The head hostess stated as all people living in the imperial city know of this.

The Imperial Family of Hinomoto is said to have been descendants of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu. She was also the first empress crowned by the four cardinal beasts until she suddenly vanished. Thankfully, she left a descendant behind which was the first emperor.

There are also two other clans that are part of the imperial family which are the Susano Clan and the Tsukuyomi Clan. The story of the east was engulfed in darkness is also a famous story in the imperial city as the main characters are the ancestors of the three clans.

It is said that the Amaterasu Clan was lamenting the death of their founder’s mother which made the Goddess Amaterasu hide in a cave. The clansmen then crafted a mirror using a special material that absorbs sunlight and reflects the true beauty that is found inside and outside of the body.

The clansmen called for the Goddess Amaterasu to come out of the cave but nothing was possible. In the end, the clansmen had to dance and party which made the Goddess Amaterasu take a peek of the happening outside. The clansmen then saw a piercing light come down from the heavens as they saw that their queen has looked at them.

All of them then presented the mirror called the Yata no Kagami which reflected the beauty of their goddess. She took one look at herself in the mirror, and she was smitten by the reflection that she has seen. She did not know what she perfectly looked like before as the mirrors that were present back then were made of brass.

Seeing her reflection in the mirror, the Goddess Amaterasu slowly exited the cave where she locked herself at in. The clansmen then rejoiced and the heavens did as well as the light that was snuffed out in the eastern continent has returned. This was the story told to the people in the imperial city as the head hostess told Adrian.

“She must have liked what she saw if she went out of the cave after being depressed for a long time. She must have been incredibly beautiful to the point that she even praised herself.” Adrian muttered which made the head hostess laugh.

“Only someone as confident as the benefactor will dare say something like that in the imperial city. But the item that you are looking for might be the the Yata no Kagami as it was said to have been created using a special material found at a high peak. There were some nobles in the Amaterasu Family that bragged that it was made using a stone that is comprised of crystallized sun energy.” The head hostess stated.

“Where is the Yata no Kagami located then?” Adrian asked.

“Even we do not know about that, benefactor. All that we know is that the Yata no Kagami si being kept in the palace.” The head hostess stated. 𝑖𝘦𝑎.𝗇t

“If I sneak inside the palace, what are the chances of me getting caught?” Adrian asked.

“Even if it is the benefactor, you will have a very difficult time as your mana signature will be detected to be inside the imperial palace. The mana orb at the gate is an indicator of any person in the imperial city and their location. You will be immediately found out and might not even be able to step foot inside the imperial palace.” The head hostess stated.

“I see but I already have a way around that. How tough are the guards that are stationed in the imperial palace?” Adrian asked as he did not feed his mana signature in the orb at the entrance but Sirius’.

“Let us say that you manage to get inside the imperial palace. You will need to be completely invisible to the naked eye which would be impossible because both the Soul Princess and the Sound Princess are present in the palace right now. You would have to be better than a ghost to even get passed them.

If you ever get by the two princesses, the treasury itself is guarded by special beasts that is said to have some of the powers of the divine beasts. Getting the Yata no Kagami via stealing is basically a guaranteed failure because of them. We do not know if there are extra measures as we do not even dare try that.” The head hostess stated.

“Did you get this information from the inside? It seems that Fei has been invited a couple of times in the palace.” Adrian muttered as the head hostess only smiled to make sure that she does not show that she agrees.

“Even if you are a demon, benefactor. You cannot see through walls and pretend to be without sound. The imperial palace is the most heavily guarded fortress in the imperial city. It is already a heavily guarded fortress by itself but the addition of the two princesses makes it impenetrable. I suggest that you think of a different approach.” The head hostess stated.

“How much can I trade for saving the lives of not just one princess but two of them?” Adrian asked.

“Being graced by one princess in the imperial city would make anyone rich until their days end. Saving two would make you indebted to the emperor himself. Mistress Fei did say that you have helped them and saved their lives. Seeing that you came with Princess Shini, it means that you must have saved her as well.” The head hostess stated as she looked to Adrian for confirmation, but the latter just smiled.
