After that encounter with the group, William understood the importance of having knowledge of a few other languages than his own.
It was impossible for him to learn every type of language uttered by all races. There were countless races in the Primal dimension, and they spoke even more languages.
So William decided to slowly learn a few languages belonging to the top races in the Primal dimension. Since his curiosity got piqued in the store, he learned the human language spoken by the inhabitants of the Bisan kingdom.
The language of humans wasnât complicated since its sole motive was to communicate, so it only took a matter of few seconds for him to learn every word in the dictionary of the Bisan Kingdomâs citizens.
Using human language, William communicated with the store owner.

After Aakesh unraveled his secret of him only being a child, William grew flustered. He had run from his home. If somehow the store owner was able to communicate it with his family, the rewards he would get would even make greed in the heart of a high-level creature in the Sacred dimension.
âLetâs keep this secret between us,â William suddenly requested Aakesh.
If Clint were to find out about his actual age, even he would reveal his location to the Asquith family. Since the Sunlight Elves descended from the Sun Elves, a communication system was set between the two races.
Even though the Sun Elves didnât care much for the situation of the Sunlight Elves, since it was still kind of a branch of the race, they acted whenever a circumstance of extinction of the Sunlight Elves emerged.
âI donât care about your secret,â Aakesh expressionlessly responded. It was correct that the reward offered by the Asquith family would actually be great for even someone like him. But there was no present that was worth more than the ethics of the store, so even if members of the Asquith family were to arrive here, he wouldnât tell them about William.
William heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Aakesh. His senses told him that there was no lie in Aakeshâs statement. Especially the indifference toward his title played a considerable role in William feeling trust in Aakeshâs words.
âThank you! I owe you a favor. When I becom-â
Williamâs words suddenly came to a halt. It wasnât Aakesh that interfered, but it was Williamsâs own action.
William was going to promise Aakesh to help him when he became the head of the Asquith family, but then he remembered that he had given up on it. He didnât feel any regret over his decision. It was just that it would take some time for him to forget that he wasnât a prince anymore.
From the actions of William, Aakesh understood the situation of William. Aakesh didnât know the reason behind William running from his family, but since he didnât care for it, he didnât waste his time thinking over it.

While William was freely living in the Primal dimension, a bloodbath was going on in the Sacred dimension.
âWHY ARE YOU EVEN ALIVE WHEN YOU CANâT CONTROL A CHILD YOU GAVE BIRTH TO?â Andrew angrily shouted at his wife, Victoria, after finding out about the disappearance of William from his chambers.
Victoriaâs face was ugly from getting shouted at by her husband. She wanted to retort, but she controlled herself. She had never seen Andrew as angry as today. She could feel that an extreme danger would fall on her if she dared to argue with him.
Victoria silently listened to all the curses thrown at her by Andrew without making any noise at all. She and Andrewâs other two sisters also silently stood there. Not even they dared to speak out in the current situation.
âYour majesty, we have found clues about the young masterâs sudden disappearance!â
Suddenly a voice other than Andrewâs rang in the chambers as the disciplinary elder of the Asquith family announced while standing at the gate.
âIt better be, or you would lose your chair,â Andrewâs voice turned slower as he responded. His eyes were currently red from anger. The dignity of being the head of Sun Elves was nowhere to be seen.
The disciplinary elderâs entire back turned wet from sweat. He then took a deep breath and informed Andrew about the clue he had gotten.
âBring that peasant to me,â Andrew coldly ordered after learning of William buying a traveling talisman.
***
âSo, you have gotten enough courage even to sell my son a traveling talisman,â Andrew commented as he was sitting on his throne.
An injured Sun Elf kneeled on the ground with his face covered in bruises and numerous injuries throughout his body.
âYour majesty, I couldnât refuse young master,â The Sun Elf tremblingly responded.
âKacha!â
âArgh!â
The next moment, a cracking sound rang in the hall, and not long after it, a scream filled with pain engulfed the cracking sound.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Elfâs left leg had gotten crushed earlier when Andrew appeared suddenly next to him.
âHave mercy, your majesty. Itâs a member of our own race. Ancestorâs blood flows in his vein,â One of the Sun Elf seated on a chair suddenly stood up and pleaded to Andrew.
The Sun Elf in question was the head of one of the top Noble families of the Sun Elves. The Elf getting punished came from the same family, so the leader had no choice but to speak up.
The crime committed by the Elf in question wasnât worth the beating he had gotten, and now in full public view, his legs had gotten crushed by the head of the Sun Elves.
âMercy, you say,â Andrewâs voice suddenly turned cold as he stared at the head of the noble family.
The head couldnât help but shrink back in his chair. The next moment, he saw a scene that he was never going to forget.
Andrew picked up the Elf from the ground, and in full public view, Andrew turned him into a bloody mush. The Elf died only at the end. His screams disappeared from the hall, but it became a part of the history of the hall.
âIf even a hair disappears from my sonâs body, I would kill you and every member of your family.â
A voice filled with nothing but cruelty rang in the ears of the head of the respective noble familyâs head.
