Blaine Glayder/Synopsis

## Season 2

King Blaine Glayder and his wife were in collaboration with the royal families of Elenoir and Darv to create an interracial tournament among the three kingdoms in the hopes of establishing friendlier relations between their respective kingdoms. During that time, talks between the royal families also became more frequent as they planned to unite the people by permitting children of all kingdoms to attend Xyrus Academy.

### The Helstea Auction House Anniversary

Blaine and his family attended the 10th Anniversary of the Helstea Auction House. The royal family were escorted to the VIP room, accompanied by their knights and the royal mage Sebastian. To their surprise, the were greeted by not only the Helstea family, but the family of Vincent’s head of security. Blaine was not bothered by this as he proclaimed any friend of Vincent was his friend as well. Blaine took notice of the boy Arthur’s mana beast and commended the young mage for forming a bond with a mana beast. Sebastian however was surprised to see a boy with an equals contract with a mana beast and demanded to take a look at his bond. Blaine immediately stopped his royal mage from approaching the boy and reminded him that he was on duty. Sebastian bowed his head apologizing to his King as the auction commenced. Blaine spent most of the time bidding on multiple luxury items as well as beast cores, hoping to find one with a beast will.

While he and Vincent conversed, the entire building was surrounded by an intense aura that emitted a palpable bloodlust, which overwhelmed most people in the building. Vincent could not handle such pressure and started choking, making Blaine panic. The royal knights surrounded Blaine while he drew his sword challenging the perpetrator to show themselves.When the aura suddenly vanished, tensioned remained in the air while the security searched the auction house for the perpetrator. While everyone was tense from the previous situation, someone reported that an intruder has been apprehended by the head of security Reynolds Leywin. As everyone assumed that the intruder was the perpetrator, who caused the intense aura, everyone relaxed upon finding out that he was arrested. As the auction continued, the last item to be brought out was a rare infant World Lion. The King immediately bid 1,000 gold coins for the cub winning the auction. Blaine then gifted the World Lion to his son Curtis who promised to train hard and raise the beast well.

With the auction concluded, Blaine was eager to receive his items and so joined Vincent and everyone present in moving to the holding room to collect his prizes. As they made their way there, Sebastian asked his majesty if he could have the boy Arthur’s bond, to which Blaine promised to ask before they left. Arriving in the holding area, Blaine waited patiently for his items while noticing Arthur receiving a small bag of items for himself. When he overheard Arthur wanting to find a sword, Blaine asked if he’d like to join his son in a sparring match. Sebastian advised against this, as he believed dueling with a commoner would only infect Prince Curtis with bad habits, a remark that Blaine found unnecessary. While Arthur was honored by the thought, he declined the invitation as to him swordsmanship was only a hobby.

They are then greeted by Arthur’s father Reynolds who pays his respect to Blaine. Blaine thanked Reynolds for his services and commended him for his strength. Blaine, however, then asked if he'd be willing to give his son's bond to his royal mage Sebastian, in return Blaine would compensate the Leywin family and even gift Arthur a sword from the royal armory. Reynolds declines his majesty's request as he was not responsible for his son's bond and so he could not speak on Arthur's behalf. When the King turned his attention to Arthur. When asked directly if Arthur would give up his bond, Arthur politely rejects his majesty’s offer as he cared too much for Sylvie to give her away. Surprised by the boy’s rejection, Blaine then offered to trade the small mana beast for the infant World Lion he just purchased, upsetting Curtis. Arthur again declines Blaine’s offer, though in a much more serious tone. Irked by the boys rejection, Blaine then asked Arthur one last time if he will willingly hand over Sylvie. To make his point clear, Arthur then asked Blaine if he’d be willing to sell his own children. Seeing this as an insult to the royal family, Sebastian orders one of the knights to attack Arthur. In a split second, Arthur manages to dodge and defend himself against the knight as well as knock him out in one punch. Sebastian then tries to kill Arthur to claim his bond. Before anyone could do anything else, Arthur passed out suddenly, while the royal mage Sebastian was left with a broken leg and in a catatonic state. Blaine then had his knight and Sebastian taken to the hospital as he and his family took their leave.

Disgusted over Sebastian’s actions, Blaine relieved Sebastian of his position as a royal guard and banished him from the capital. His knight who attacked Arthur faired no better as he was fired from his position.

## Season 3

Over the next two years, Blaine continued to foster better relations with Elenoir and Darv as children of their respective kingdoms began attending Xyrus Academy. During that time, it was discovered that an unknown mana beast was found along with an artifact that was attached to the mysterious creature. The artifact was shown capable of storing recordings of the three kingdoms, making the royal families realize that there was another continent beyond Dicathen spying on them. The royal families then banded together to form the Council of Dicathen to better combat the possible threats to their land and govern their people. The Council then ordered the Artificer Gideon to create a craft that could travel over large bodies of water.

### The Announcement at Etistin City

Blaine as well as the rest of the Council held an announcement in Etistin City that was to be broadcasted throughout the entire kingdom. On the day of the announcement, Blaine was the first to greet the people informing them of their efforts to unite their people as well as acknowledge the animosity between the humans and elves. Blaine urges the people to put aside their difference and history for the sake of the future generation. The Council revealed their discovery of another continent. The royal families then explained how they needed to unify now more than ever and in their attempt to do so they have spent the last few years solidifying their unification with the interracial tournament, the ban on Dwarfs and Elves becoming Adventurers lifted, and Xyrus Academy now accepting children of all three kingdoms. The royal families then presented six individual warriors who would act as representatives of their kingdoms and their defenders, dubbed the Lances, with Blaine bestowing a ring to Olfred Warend.

Following the end of the announcement, Gideon presented the steam engine ship to the Council who approved of the invention and had Gideon begin construction of the ship immediately.
