Chapter 74



After leaving the date, Orpheus, not feeling happy, decided to find his first daughter to see if she had acquired the information he asked her to acquire.

Like last time he arrived at a dark throne hall. Nix, his daughter, seemed to have been expecting his arrival; she was standing beside the throne.

Immediately after noticing her father’s arrival, she curtsied.

”Welcome, father.”

Orpheus waved his hand as he sat on the black throne.

”How are you doing?” He might be feeling down, but this wouldn’t stop him from performing basic etiquette, especially in front of his loved ones.

”I’m doing fine, father.” Nix nodded before giving him a report. She immediately told him what was inside the report.

”So, this the report you got on the investigation I asked you to do?” Orpheus asked as he flipped through the seven pages of the report. As feared, someone was behind the appearance of the demi-humans a thousand years ago. Nobody seemed to know the identity of this mysterious individual, but Orpheus could easily infer who it was; either it was one of the seven, no six after that battle, or it was someone that came from the other side.

”There is something special about the wolf demi-humans. Some among them seemed to possess special characteristics such as transforming under the full moonlight. Have you experienced the terror of this special breed race?” Orpheus asked while observing Nix’s reaction; the latter shrugged her shoulders.

”Not particularly, but they had recently become active, almost as if something was pushing them to act,” Nix informed him, and Orpheus understood it must be because of him and another factor, maybe the one behind all this, ordered their subordinates to act.

”I see. I should go back. Keep monitoring them and immediately inform me if you notice something unusual.” Orpheus said before leaving. Nix nodded. She felt like there was something else her father, who gave her a new life, wanted to say, but in the end, he decided not to rely on her. This left a sour aftertaste in her mouth, but she decided to bear it. Soon, her father would need her, and at that time, she would show him how much she had progressed in those two thousand years. While she couldn’t fully offer her help in the past war, this time, she was more than prepared; together with her sister and brothers, they had prepared something for the incoming war.

”See you soon, master.” Nix sat before sitting inside her throne.

In the Wratharis imperial palace, the empress sat on a chair dressed in a casual black negligee. She seemed to be waiting for someone and soon the person she was waiting for arrived.

It was a woman dressed in a maid’s outfit with a white mask. Her long black hair was braided with a pair of piercing green; even without removing the mask, you could see that this woman was a beauty.

A smile bloomed on the empress Lillia’s face when she saw her maid, her right-hand man appearing.

”Welcome back, Nia. Have you gotten what I asked you to do?” The impatient Empress asked right after Nia, the tall maid wearing the white mask, entered.

Nia bowed her head but said nothing other than offering the report to the empress, who took it and started skipping through. Her face contorted at the end of the report. It was understandable as nothing, absolutely nothing, was found on the young man going by the name of Kyle Blake.

Even with her special identity as the empress of the strongest empire coupled with Nia’s exceptional talent, they still couldn’t find anything.

Empress Lillia wasn’t happy with this outcome; if they couldn’t find anything, then this could only mean one thing, that boy and the two girls sharing his name must be from that hidden village. Not much information was known about this village except that they are nomads and are extremely powerful. No empire, no organization wanted to mess with them. So naturally, if the empress decided to go after Orpheus knowing well he might be from the other side, she should be ready to suffer the consequences of her action.

The empress, blinded by rage, decided not to care about such detail; besides, nobody had visited the hidden village to ascertain if they existed or not. For her son, she would literally do anything, hidden village or not.

Tossing the thick report aside, the empress ordered.

”Nia, get ready to employ the strongest assassin to test the water. I believe even the Dark imprint will accept a mission to assassinate a student inside the strongest Academy.”

To the empress’s words, Nia nodded without saying a word.

The empress smiled. ”Good, take much money you want to hire the best assassin in the Dark imprint. I want a result or report in one week.”

She said she didn’t hold too much hope, especially if the boy were from the hidden village; it wouldn’t be easy to kill him. She wanted confirmation; if the assassination was a success, then so be it, but if it failed, it would confirm her suspicion that the boy was really from the hidden village. In this case, better precautions must be taken.

Nia nodded but didn’t leave; like the empress understood her, the same could be said about her.

For the first time since her arrival, Nia finally opened her mouth and asked.

”Mistress, are you planning to visit that bar?”

The empress chuckled before saying.

”Nia, you know me the best. That asshole is still refusing to see even after all that time.”

Nia understood that the asshole her master was talking about was none other than the emperor of the strongest. Having served the empress for a few years already, Nia understood better than anybody what the empress was going through.

Empress Lillia nodded saying. ”Yes, you should find the time for us to sneak out. I’m suffocating here; I need some fresh, and that place is exactly what I needed.”

”Understood, I will clear your schedule to find us a time to sneak out. Please excuse me.” Nia said before disappearing like a shadow under the light.

Empress Lillia chuckled; no matter how many times she had experienced this, she would always find her maid Nia the coolest of all.

”Soon, I will have a little bit of fun, forgetting all my worries even for one night.” the empress said, filled with anticipation about going out.

In a luxurious villa in the Saint Star Academy, an extremely handsome young man was sitting before a mirror. He had long golden hair and eyes of the same hue; there was a faint red tattoo in the middle of his forehead.

Suddenly, the mirror in front of the man rippled, and from the other side, the image of a blond-haired man less handsome than the man sitting in front of the mirror appeared.

”Good evening, brother. Everything has been done as you ordered, and from what we know, he seemed to have arrived at the Heaven Star Academy.”

The young man with the handsome face tilted his face to the side and replied.

”It is that so? That’s good. I wanted to see how awesome the man that five grown men couldn’t takedown. This body of mine might be a mere clone, but I think it would be enough to test a bug until my real body arrives. You should stay in that continent and continue mass product those lesser beings. That would be your punishment, and you know what would happen if you do something I didn’t order, right?”

Facing his brother’s invisible threat, the man on the other side of the mirror gulped before fearfully nodding. Clone or not, his brother was still scary as always.

”Good, continue searching for the whereabouts of Kratos and the vampire hideout; that traitor should be used and never be trusted. Let’s me take care of the rest.” The handsome man ordered before cutting off the communication, not giving his brother the time to answer. Not that his answer mattered; he just had to do what he was ordered to do.

”Emealeena, soon we will be reunited.” the handsome young man mumbled, thinking about his fiancee who had fled from their hometown after the big war. Finally, he had found her; he wouldn’t let her go as he previously did.

A clash of titans was bound to happen soon, all of this because of one woman.

Back to his rented villa, Orpheus called out for Lilith.

”Master, what do you want to know?” She asked with her head lowered.

”I want a list of your spy in this empire, especially the one stationed inside the palace. For preference ones closer to the empress, Leon’s mother.” He told her what he wanted, and Lilith immediately understood for what purpose her master wanted this list, and her lips couldn’t help curling into a smirk.

”Just wait for a minute; I’ll bring you the list,” Lilith said before leaving. She remembered her sister, not her real sister but a senior. It seems that it was time for sister Nia to be activated; her years of service besides the empress would be put in use soon.
