Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

Chapter 216: Night before drawn

Ava led Evaron to the Royal servant residential area, where the palace workers lived but Kai was still curious why Ava was not lowering her hood. It was like she was deliberately trying to hide her face but Kai didn't ask the reason.

As he followed her and looked at the Royal palace which was clearly visible as he continued to walk.

Usually, only people who are noble and are invited by the Royal family are allowed to enter and are heavily guarded but as he was following Ava no guard dared to stop them on the way.

On reaching the servant area, Ava made arrangements for Kai night stay and dinner before she left.

As the person in charge curiously glimpsed at him. Most likely he was interested in knowing the identity of the old man lead personality by Princess but he didn't dare to ask him on his own and lead him to see his room where he is going to sleep for night.

The room was not big. Yet, it was well maintained and clean. Consisting of a single person bed, a locker with a water jar and a wardrobe with central mirror reminding his time at Chronos Magic Academy dormitory room which was far bigger but it was more than enough for his night stay.

As he was led to the cafeteria where servants were chatting and eating their dinner. Most of them have completed their duty of day shift and now night shift servant well take over.

All servants were astonished on seeing an old man walking alongside the man in charge who was talking to Kai with respectfully tone.

I didn't live getting unnecessary attention and quickly kept up a tray and got his food and went to eat alone at a corner silently.

The food was ordinary for the servant but people like Evaron. It was his first time eating such delicious food but Kai was not his past self, Evaron and didn't care much and ate the food in a normal manner.

Returning back to his room, Kai directly lied on the bed with his old skinny back looking at the roof with his eyes wide open because he was thinking of the terrorist activities and who was the person responsible for this humiliation of getting wrongly accused.

Kai is very well aware that his real self makes money as a guide and most likely bad rumours have spread about him, tainting his reputation.

'Just let me get my cultivation and body back. I will definitely find the person who is responsible.'

A thin killer intent appears in his eyes as he closes his eyes with determination as he waits for the new day.

[Theothia Royal palace]

Princess Ava was walking in the hallway with her body covered in black robe with her face covered by a hood as patrolling guards greeted her and walked to her younger brother and knocked on the door.

After some time, a reply came from inside.

"Come in."

Inside the room a young tall handsome man with long golden hairs framing one side of his face and shard long eyebrows and orange eyes was walking around wearing a night robe with a worried expression.

He is the younger brother of princess Ava and only beloved son of Danlit Theothia. Antonio Vandora Theothia, the pride of the Kingdom and person who had greatest potential and talent for cultivation in the kingdom and who have received the blessings of the middle rank constellation, Sword of king. Allowing his bloodline to reach low grade emperor bloodline with his heaven grade mage root and body potential which he was born with had already reached the early stage of magic champion at the age of fifty six, surpassing his elder sister.

As the door opened and Ava entered. She saw the tensed expression on the face of her brother who is taking care of the investigation on the recent terrorist activities.

She lowered her hood for the first time and revealed her exotic pale brown face as her glossy long evergreen hair framing her face with fine jawline and narrow chin as she looked at her brother with her bright orange eyes.

But, Antonio was not happy as the right side of her beautiful face was completely ruined and burned and he was well aware who had caused this to his elder sister.

Seeing his gentle and beautiful elder sister in this form made him feel painfully.

All of this occurred in the front line during the war with the Demonic Alliance force led by one of the twelve demon generals.

Many soldiers died during the war from both sides and demons were on the losing end when Hero Kadar Fernandez, the hero of human race and one of the seven brightest talents in the world of cultivation were fighting with each other while Ava was supporting while fighting other demons.

Demon general made a desperate move trying to escape by using his Astral demon bloodline ability, Power of destruction which he had rumours but the first time he got to witness it and the terrifying nightmare which saw later.

When he was fighting with demons with his unit which was incharge of taking care of Commander and captain rank demons in the army.

Demon generals used it, power of destruction, the ability which increases the physical and magic power destructive ability. 

Destroying everything in its power, not leaving even the dead bodies behind.

Hero was badly injured while his elder sister but half of her body was infected by the power of destruction which residue aura was still inside her body not allowing her body to heal instead it's slowly eroding her body from inside like a slow poison.

He still regrets just why was he not beside his sister that time. Maybe he could have protected her.

Having no choice and seeing his elder sister's condition, he applied to leave the front line to find some solutions to cure his sister and arrived yesterday.

When his mother and father slowed my sister's condition. They almost break down with his mother crying non stop while holding his sister who stood there without knowing what to do.

While, father tried to stay calm but was still depressed and used many of his connections in alliance to find the cure and finally found it and it was almost a hopeless issue according to his father.

The cure is a precious world tree blessed water which can get rid of the destructive aura from his sister body and heal it but the problem is that it's a divine class item which is available only in the wood elf country of World tree alliance and they mostly can't afford it even with their connection inside the human alliance.

Looking at his elder sister. He decided to focus on the topic at hand.

The terrorist activities and the prisoner they have caught who is suspended have connection with them.

He himself wanted to meet the prisoner and interrogate him but his sister insisted on going instead of him.

He wanted to stop her but seeing how he determined she is. He can only call it his loss and back down.

"Elder Sister, what did you find? Is the man connected with terrorists?"

Ava shook her head,"He is an innocent man and honest man who had no connection with terrorists to confirm it. I use my divine power which I have received from the goddess of truth and read his memories and found no connection. In fact I have known him for a long time and is an old friend of mine."

Antonio who was thinking about the terrorist case and how they still haven't found any lead was astonished when he mentioned that the prisoner was an old friend of his elder sister.

According, to the report he had read. The accused is an old man in his early seventies who has been living in that unknown god temple and was raised by the previous caretaker who has died and now he takes care of it while side by side acting as tour guide to make his leaving.

Nothing was suspicious about him aside from the fact that he still could have some shady connection which others didn't know about but after his sister answered. The old man has been proven innocent but what is with an old man being friends with his sister?

"That prisoner is an old friend of yours? How come you have never mentioned about him?"asked Antonio with a questioning tone.

Ava smiled,"I have always shared everything with you but try to understand that there are things you can't tell others. I meet him, when I was twenty years old and have recently became the saintess and doing charity work in slums and helping the needy as a duty of Saintess of Goddess of Truth church and found something unique and interesting about him which attracted my attention and soon started taking and become close friend who meet with whenever I got the chance like during the holidays of drawn academy, charity work, shopping. Later, I realised that I like spending time with him and love him but also realised the harsh reality that we are not of the same world as I see him grow old. Which was very painful while I remained young and one day I have to see him die before me. I started to suppress this feeling and slowly got rid of them"

Antonio's jaw wide open in astonishment on hearing that his elder sister's first love was an ordinary person with no background or talent or unique skill.

Remembering the time in academy, where sons of noble families full of talent used to pursue her but she would politely decline them.

He had also heard that she didn't even hesitate to refuse who asked her to marry him and become his wife.

He was surprised but also happy because he later learned that Hero Kadar Fernandez is a loose cannon who uses his sweet tongue and background to sleep with a beautiful woman.

Which had left a bad impression of the Hero character in his heart who he used to admire.

Thinking about the fact that he didn't receive any side-effects of power of destruction due to the blessings of one the highest rank Constellation, bright king of brightest day and enjoying the benefits of his family which is one of the five Saint family which is core of human alliance and have great influence while his elder sister is suffering due to foolish decision of fighting with demon general without caring about his surroundings.

"Sister, Can I meet this guy personally? I would also have to witness what is so unique about him to make you fall in love with him."

"You can meet him. He is staying at the royal servant quarter. Next morning, I plan to drop him off at his home. So, we can go together."

Hearing that Antonio smiled as they continued to discuss their next action for half an hour with no result and helplessly went to their respective rooms to sleep.
