Chapter 297: Finding His Grace
They settled in, Rein, Theo and Azes were moved by Baal’s servant to a more comfy place within Baal’s huge mansion.
Baal then invited all of them to et. Samael was the last to join the table.
"So you still won’t reveal your true self"
"Ah, don’t mind my manners but I’m currently busy" Baal(the dog face) said.
Samael smacked the table "Then when do you plan to heal him?" He said controlling the sound of his rage.
Baal giggled, "it’s cute when you do that, short tempered Samael. You still won’t consider serving ?"
"Too late, I already have a master"
Baal slapped the table simultaneously rising to move his head closer to Samael. He stared at Samael’s face.
"You don’t seem to be joking" he said and sat back down.
"I’m not" Samael said as the demon maid served his at.
"Who?" Baal asked.
"I have no obligation to tell you"
’The mont I tell him, he will try to get smart with
and get more, Baal is a very cunning and smart demon lord, I must change the topic’
"You are busy investigating the war between the demons and humans, I guess?"
"Yes, I planted this aspect in Bayemon’s house incase of the day he would co back, but seeing as you seem to have encountered him while in AbeirToril?"
"Why would you bother investigating sothing like that I think it’s pretty useless" Samael said.
"...I thought so, but not only did I notice Baram’s energy but I also found a divine touch on our land"
"Well, that could be an angel or an archon or any of the Celestial race." Samael said.
The dog face grinned, "That was definitely an Esteler"
"That is making no sense, Estelers were gone since their war with the primordials" he said, trying not to raise his voice.
Baal went silent and started eating.
’He sees that I’m getting interested and will spill no more free information uh...’ Samael said in his head and also started eating. So did the others who were just watching all the while.
...
"Ariel reported that she has been out of contact with Rein, but there’s no way he would forget that he has to be here today right" Arnette said.
"I really hope he cos" Jon responded as they were both in the newly constructed Temple of Ariel.
Many other nobles were gathered there in the large hall awaiting the arrival and induction of the goddess. Reinard’s throne seat sat at alone at the high end of the ceremonial Hall.
Sigrid stared at the throne.
"What are you thinking about?" Natasha walked up to her and said.
"Nothing..." she responded and took a sip of the wine in her hand.
"You know, you might lose Rein if you don’t act, or it might even be too late" she said.
"Thank you for the care, but I am not so luxurious to afford love" she said.
"After the few years we’ve spent together, one thing I know is you deprive yourself of so many things. Even though you are surrounded by so many people and friends, you are still lonely" she said looking into Sigrid’s eye.
Sigrid chuckled and walked away.
Goldevia approached Natasha afterwards.
"What did you say to her, she looks mad but she’s hiding it"
"I hit a strong spot" Natasha responded and looked at Goldevia. "Looks like you have been enjoying the fresh sun of Veinsburgh, Archduchess Goldevia" Natasha said.
"Well, I’ve been focusing more of taking care of my skin and all. And don’t think I have neglected my training, I beca a player and even hit level 300 yesterday." She said.
"Oh wow, that is great, I see you are trying so much not to be a manly woman" Natasha said and giggled. "Wait don’t tell
you are trying to have a short at becoming an empress?!" She added with a facial exclamation.
"Shut up, there is this man in my territory, he’s a famous rchant but also an hardworking farr..."
"Ouuuu, I see soone is in love" Natasha cheekily said to her.
"There’s not much to it, we are still in the talking stage. By the way, do you know Ariel banned us from attending the rankings? I was kind of annoyed when I heard, after becoming a player, I’m sure I’ve grown stronger, I really wanted to join"
"That way, the ranking will be dominated by nobles of the Moon empire, we are strong already but we don’t need to be on the ranking list...we are way past that" She said.
"I see" Goldevia responded.
Natasha clicked her tongue, "all brawls and no brains" she said and walked away.
The people threw flowers and incense on the way as the parade moved along to the temple. They yelled and hailed the Moon empire and the goddess for her protection. Joy filled the atmosphere.
Jae-hyun looked around on his mount and smiled.
’I’m happy to be here, this is definitely a place for ...but I can’t wait to see what the Emperor is like’ he said in his head with excitent written all over his face.
anwhile...
Kuthuya in his formal wear suddenly ran to Arnette and Jon.
"I can’t reach the Emperor" he whispered so others would not hear.
The three of them together left the hall to a silent place, Sigrid coincidentally saw them and followed.
"What do you an?" Jon asked.
"Well, North sea can contact the Emperor and bring him here anyti...but she can’t contact him and can’t find him also"
"What is that supposed to an, does that an he’s unconscious or sothing?" Jon asked.
"No, if he’s unconscious, he would still have been found...it only ans that he is not in this world, to be particular, he is not in this plane" Kuthuya said
Jon’s and Arnette’s face distorted with surprise.
"What?" Jon exclaid.
"...this can’t be happening so there’s a high percentage that Rein might not attending this ceremony" Arnette said.
Kuthuya nodded.
"If you permit , I can find him" he said
"How? Are you going to go through all countless universe searching for him and co back three hundred years after we are done?" Jon said.
"No, I know soone who is supposed to be a servant of the Lord of the North sea, she has a ability that allows her to search for a particular target throughout the world, no matter where" he said.
"How long will that take?" Jon asked.
"With North sea’s assistance, I should be able to reach the plane this person is in less than five minutes. But finding his grace and all, give
two hours"
"We can manage that, then you must co back with him, definitely" Jon said.
"Yes!" Kuthuya said and hurriedly left the room.
Jon’s countenance fell as he sat on the chair and rested his head on his hand. Arnette stood there also worried and anxious.
"Rein definitely knows this could have a huge impact on his public image, I really don’t want his dictatorship in the empire to be questioned because of his attitudes...I really hope he does this right" he said.
anwhile, as Sigrid saw Kuthuya storm out she ran after him and just as he reach the backyard corridor of the temple, she caught up to him and held him.
"Take
with you" she said.
"Duchess—
"Take " she cut him with a determined look in his eyes.
Kuthuya exhaled softly, "North sea"
A black door opened in front of Kuthuya, "Don’t fall too far behind" he said and went inside, Sigrid followed imdiately. And the door closed.
They ca out in the Plane of Essembra. Sigrid was shocked as the world was not like what she would have imagined. Everything looked like a above looked like a reflection of below. She followed Kuthuya as he began to move.
~whiish~
A shadow swept passed them swiftly.
"Say closely behind " Kuthuya said as he drew out the great sword that was hung on his back.
~Wham~
~kang~
He blocked the attack as it ca from behind before he could take another breathe-
~Swish~
He plunged forth and caught the person before the person could completely escape. He gripped his fist tight on the hand of the figure in a hooded black robe. He hurriedly pulled down the person’s hood.
"Vishva?" He said and left her hand.
She completely turned and looked at him, her eyes went over to Sigrid who was behind him.
"So much for, I can’t leave Lord Bahamut’s Palace, soone has to protect the North sea...really? Kuthuya, after so many years you suddenly appear on this plane, for what? For what exactly?!" Her voice trembled.
Kuthuya bowed his head, "I’m not going to apologize for choosing to stay with the North sea, because I don’t regret my decision"
Vishva giggled, her brown scaled-skin glittered.
"You chose the North sea over our future, over the Platinum Cadre!" She yelled at him. "So why are you here, I presu it’s not to beg
to co with you huh?" She said.
"I ca to find Nala, I need her help finding my master" Kuthuya said with his head still bowed.
"Your master? What do you an? Have you betra–"
"Lord Bahamut’s heir has claid the North sea... but I urgently need to find which plane he is in right now" Kuthuya said raising his head.
Vishva trembled, shock was written all over her face.
