I will never again act so recklessly and leave my life up to something so whimsical as luck and chance. From now on I will only scar with absolute certainty."

After Hearing this, Rebecca was left stunned.

She had never imagined that Dante would have thought about things so deeply.

Whilst everyone would have been rejoicing and celebrating over their incredible defeat, Dante had been silently mulling over every detail and chastising himself for his carelessness.

But it couldn't be helped. Maybe if Rebecca had encountered the soul of the ghost duke like Dante had she would be having similar thoughts to him.

But since Dante was the only person that had encountered the ghost duke and survived, only he could understand just how vast the world the ghost duke showed him in just a short time.

With horrific entities like the ghost duke lurking in the corners of the world .

In a world filled with crouching tigers and sleeping dragons how dare he act with such reckless bravado.

If he didn't want to die a vain death and waste this promising life laid out before him then he should act with some sense of caution. Gambles that used his life as currency were completely banned from now on.

As Dante was contemplating to himself on his deep thoughts, Klent who had been silent this entire time stuck his head out of the window of the carriage before a slight smile appeared on his face.

"I can see them, the city gates! We've finally arrived at the capital city!"

As Klent said those words a small commotion broke out amongst the people in the carriage.

It had been a long time since they left the capital city and after experiencing a life and death struggle, the members couldn't help but get emotional after seeing such a familiar sight.

When it came to Hans and Clay, they were even worse than the rest.

They were true countryside Kids .

Before the incident where their home was attacked they had never even left their village much less seeing a place at the scale of the Capital city.

This was a place they had only heard about in the tales and legends of wandering traders. A place filled with legends and heroes. The home of the sacred royal family with the blood of Immortal Titans flowing through their veins!

The boys were so desperate to leave and explore this place from stories that if it wasn't for the firm grip of Lennox then they would have already disappeared.

After arriving at the city gates there wasn't much problem. The token of the Dragon Son of War allowed them to easily pass the inspections but after they  entered the city the group instantly noticed a problem.

The incessant chatter of civilians around them.

"Hey! Have you heard of it?" said one passerby "It's said that the New Dragon son of war led a noble battle and subjugated an army of undead creatures in the north of the kingdom"

"It's not just that" added on another

"It's sad that the Dragon Son personally evacuated the surrounding villages. Before leading an army to subjugate the coalition of blood sacrificing bandits and undead forces that outnumbered the by over 10 to 1"

"Over 10 to 1?" said one man "No matter how amazing the dragon son is that is still hard to believe…"

But before anyone could refute his claims a slightly bulky figure walked over.

"Now how is that hard to believe? It was not just the Dragon Son that was there. The fourth son of my very own Asmond clan was known to be present in the situation and to have contributed greatly! It was him who even smashed down the gates of the bandit fortress. It 's said that the roars of the Asmond clan's martial spirit shook the battlefield, freezing the swarm of undead in shock!"

After saying his piece, the bulky man turned towards his doubtful compatriot before asking

"Now then, what's so hard to believe?"

Faced with the question of this intimidating  the doubter couldn't help but break out into a nervous sweat a she laughed nervously

"Hahaha! Brother your words seemed to have cleared up all my doubts. With such a Dragon amongst men lurking within the Asmond Clan. your Clan is only destined to rise and bound for future greatness!"

Hearing this a smug smile appeared on the face of the Asmond Clan Member  before he motioned

"Now let us all drink in honour of the Dragon Son and the  fourth young master's legendary feet!"

Such a conversation was already enough to shock Dante and the others, but what truly left them speechless was that this was not an isolated incident .

All over the capital similar arguments and discussions were popping up all over the place and the one thing they all had in common was that  they were all talking about Dante's war and  they were all talking about Dante's war with the Corpse master!

The others in the carriage could barely even recognise what was going on.

"Ermm.. Dante?" said Rebecca

"What on earth is this?"

But in response to Rebecca's question Dante could only sigh as he shook his head.

"To be honest, I have no clue."

After the battle was over I sent a few letters towards important people like Minster Hendrix and Grandfather that I believe had to be informed of the incident to deal with problems that may occur. But from what I know about these people they are definitely not one to gossip so it would be hard to blame them for this. And even if they did gossip, I doubt the story would spread like this even to the common people. It;s almost as if there is someone deliberately spreading the news."

As Dante spoke he ended up drifting into deep thought

"But if someone is deliberately spreading the news, i can't think of anyone who would deliberately do such a thing….. Oh wait! There is one such person!"
