Dragon Soar To The Sky (Rewrite)
The Fourth Family Meeting

After Husk woke up from his bed, he told about the problems that had befallen the region.

"So that's the story, sir."

"Alright, for now I've understood the core of the matter."

"Oh, don't call me master, just call me by my name."

"Alright if that's what you want Vallen to."

After that Vallen moved to leave the residence of Husk and Ethan.

"After this, what are you going to do Val?"

"I need to send a report to headquarters, and wait for the next order."

"Alright, don't forget when you need help, don't feel hesitant to ask us."

"Ethan, you don't have to worry, all you have to do now is take care of your father, for this matter I hope you don't interfere, because all this is not simple."

"So it's true that there's third-party interference?"

"I can't be sure, but if it's true then all these things that happened to you, it's a reasonable thing."

Vallen then went to the headquarters to submit the report.

In the middle of the journey...

(Hmm, there are some people following me.)

Someone threw a smoke bomb at Vallen.

(This, dope. Fortunately my body is immune to toxins, it doesn't take long for them to show up, I'll play with you guys.)

Vallen.

"Hey, we've got him. Quickly take him."

(Hmm, where are they taking me? These people are very quick to receive information.)

"That and put him in the dungeon."

Vallen was later sent to prison.

"Hey wake up."

Brukk..!! A blow to Vallen's stomach.

"You want me to wake up? Take off this blindfold, and then we'll talk."

"Too many bacots."

Brukk..!! Vallen was hit many times.

"cii... It's fast to take off that blindfold."

"Good young master."

(This sound? Joan).

"Haha. Good, very good. I didn't expect a mouse hiding in our territory to be an outstanding Knight. Isn't that right, Vallen?"

"Joan Polac's. An **** who likes to eat people's money."

"cii... Hit him."

Brukk..!!

Joan pulls Vallen's hair.

"Listen to this, you are now in my territory. I can kill you anytime I want. So, give me the report and maybe I'll consider making you a slave of the Polac family. Haha."

"Huh, being a slave of the family****, what's good? I'd rather finish off your whole family, and see one by one of you begging for mercy at my feet."

"Bad. Oh, if it's not wrong you're the bodyguard of the princess of Illeria right? Hmm, her pretty face, her soft skin, her fragrance. Hahaha, I can't resist my desires."

Vallen let out a domineering Aura.

"I warn you an ****, don't ever touch her with your dirty hands, or I'll chase you to the end of the world."

"Pffts... Don't joke, what can you do? I am in charge now, your body is chained, there are magic stones to suppress your Mana. You can't do anything, you're just trash."

"Then let go of this chain, and we prove which one of us is trash."

"Why should I bother, soon our plan will be finished. And when that comes, I'll enjoy the princess of Illeria. Haha."

(Plan? What is this ****?)

"Heh... At most you're just bragging, a family*** wants to rule the palace."

"All that is possible if there is him. Haha."

(He? Who is that guy?)

"Auto... I talk too much. But yes, since you're about to die, I don't care. The one who helped us is called Shaman Parasite."

(Shaman Parasite, I think I've heard that in an archive.)

"And our goal is to infect the entire palace family with this parasite."

"Heh, just a parasite. What's great?"

"Because the parasite used was called Brainworm, or brainworm."

(Brainworms..! It is impossible, according to Master Fafnir this type of parasite was destroyed in the cold war 5 years ago.)

"You can't believe it, right? Look at this, I'm holding one of those parasites."

Joan showed me a parasite in a glass jar.

"NON-TEACH YOU, JOAN..!"

"Haha. Keep barking, your voice won't reach their ears."

"I swear I'll destroy you.!"

"Hey, kill him quickly. I'm sick of hearing the chatter. Oh right, don't worry about the princess of Illeria, I'll take good care of her. Haha."

"YIN...!"

Two of Joan's bodyguards stabbed Vallen in the stomach and beheaded him.

"Heh, what a worthy death. Let's go."

From a distance someone started to wake up from his meditation.

"Heh, it turns out that this technique is quite useful."

It turns out that the person Joan killed was not Vallen, but the result of an illusionary magic.

Take Over's. It is a rare magic taught directly by Fafnir to Vallen. This magic can make Caster (memorized) enter the body of others and take over his mind and change his appearance.

Previously Vallen was ambushed by 3 people, when the fog from the smoke bomb spread, Vallen took one of the three people as a container for Take Over, after finishing memorizing, Vallen said, the person who was exposed to this magic instantly changed shape according to his Caster appearance.

It was from here that Vallen began exchanging Positions with his container, and hid while taking over the mind from his container. In order for the other two to not feel suspicious, Vallen made the two people believe that the existence of the third person from the beginning actually did not exist. Finally they assume that from the beginning they only ambushed Vallen with only two members only.

The body that Joan killed was the third.

(Well... This magic is very draining, I want to rest for a moment while recovering Mana.)

Some time passed until nightfall.

"Hooamm..." Vallen.

(Well, it took me a lot of time to recover Mana, I'll do something about the corpse.)

Vallen headed to the old cabin and searched for the body in the cell section, then he burned the body to nothing.

(All evidence must be destroyed.)

Vallen then went through the whole room and found something.

"Haha... I can't believe it."

(Joan is stupid enough to leave the Parasites in this cabin. Let me accept your reward, and this will be sufficient evidence for the investigation this time.)

Vallen came out undetected by the guards in the cabin.

(I have to go to the base immediately to give a report, the Polac family conspired with a Shaman.)

The journey takes at least 3 to 4 hours to reach the destination.

"Prime, the Knight of Tier 2 will submit the report of the investigation results from the Orev Polac family."

"Evocate him to enter the room."

"Good."

Vallen came in and saluted.

"Sincerely Prime Minister."

"Please sit down."

"Good."

"So, do you have any evidence?"

"That's true Prime, but I feel that something is helping the Polac family from behind the scenes."

"Hoo... That's quite interesting, can I see the results of your investigation?"

"Okay, Prime."

Prime read the results of Vallen's investigation.

"Hmm, a Shaman. Are you sure?"

"I also have proof of Prime. But I have a request."

Next day.

At a place within the royal palace, 4 great families were gathering. Each of them sent a representative to attend the event.

"It's a hassle, I hope this meeting involves a big deal."

"Well, we don't know about this yet."

"That's right, we should calm down before deciding anything."

The four Guardian family representatives were talking.

Not long after. Vallen, Prime Minister, Knight Commander entered the room.

"Hoooh... Isn't that a Knight who has a reputation these days?"

"Greet me to the Guardian hero." Vallen saluted.

"Hehms... Your name is Vallen, isn't it?"

"Yes right, my name is Vallen."

"And your Master is the head of Alvarez Academy, Fafnir."

"That's right."

"Well... Why would a great Master like Fafnir accept you as a disciple, whereas he refuses to make my son his disciple? I don't get it."

"Bryan, Mr. Fafnir has already said that he will only accept a student he thinks is indeed an unusual talent."

"Well... You said Vallen was abnormal?"

Their conversation was cut by Prime.

"Alright gentlemen. We will today discuss an attempted rebellion by one of the nobles in the Guardian's territory."

"Hehms... Rebellion attempt? Aren't you wrong Prime?"

"I have enough evidence for this."

Prime showed the Brainworm parasite that had been successfully taken by Vallen before.

"WHAT...! Isn't this a very rare parasite?"

"Right, this is a parasite that can control the brain."

"Where did you get this animal?"

Prime then recounted the results of Vallen's report, starting from the state of the village, the state of the residents there, the village chief's conflict, and the sudden change of barons, as well as the ambush efforts made by the Polac family.

"Hm... Is it really happening? The Polac family is within my territory. If this is really the case, I don't know what our head of the family will do."

"You said Vallen was ambushed by some people, so how's it going?"

"For that matter, Vallen will tell you all directly."

Vallen tells about the incident, starting at the first time he used a rare magic named Take Over, and the results of Joan's conversation while in the cabin.

Brakk...!!! Hitting table.

"I as Deovare's representative feel ashamed this time, this incident happened in our region, and we don't know it. Though we have taken care of the nobles from our family side to oversee the entire scope of our territory."

"Please speak to Mr. With a Shaman behind the Polac family, is it possible that the messenger was hit by something?"

"What do you mean Vallen?"

"For example is Brainworm, when the mind is controlled by this parasite, then..."

"Yes, don't rule out the possibility that it could happen."

A few moments later, someone entered the room.

"Hoo... It looks like they're all gathered."

The entire room stood up and bowed its head in honor of that person.

"Are... Turns out there's a student of mine here, how are you?"

"Master Fafnir, long time no see. I'm fine, Master."

"I was checking out an ancient ruin near the demon empire. However, someone made me worry and immediately left the place."

"Who is the Master?"

"Who is that guy?"

Plakk..!! Fafnir hit Vallen on the head

"Ouch... Why did Master hit me on the head?"

"If it wasn't for you casting Take Over magic, then I wouldn't care about you."

"Haha... Forgive your student, Master."

"Well... So why did you cast that magic?"

Prime Minister cut their conversation.

"So this is what happened to Mr. Fafnir...."

After telling the story of what happened to Vallen.

"Haha... That's my disciple. But, about this parasite..."

"Does master Fafnir know anything?"

"Yes, once upon a time in our Sanctuary, there was a group researching parasites. Of course they were researching that special beast with close supervision from us. However, after the great war occurred at that time, all the parasites had been destroyed, but at the time of the cold war 5 years ago, this parasite had reappeared, and the parasite had been destroyed, but somehow suddenly his existence is unknown. And now he's showing up again in front of us."

"I've only ever read through the royal archives, I didn't think I could see this before my eyes directly."

"Alright let's continue this meeting, and provide a solution."

"I'll be at the meeting this time, you don't matter, do you?"

"Of course with the presence of the Great Master Fafnir, we welcome you very much."

They started the meeting, and after a few hours it was over.

"Vallen, for this mission, you've done your best."

"Thank you Prime."

"No... I should be thanking you."

Vallen returned to his residence.

(Ah, I remember going back about the maid who served me, how is she?)

"I'm home..."

"Welcome young master, how is your trip this time? Do you want to eat first, shower first, or my body?"

"Hoaahs... I told you not to be like that Tiffa."

"I'm kidding, sir. I've prepared your bathroom, the food's arranged."

"Thank you very much Tiffa."

"Oh yeah, did something happen while I was away on duty?"

"Some times Princess Illeria has come to see your situation, she looks worried because you haven't been home for a long time."

"Well... Tiffa, get my official clothes ready. I'm going to see Princess Illeria."

"Don't..." Tiffa pulled Vallen's ear.

"Oh, Tiffa?"

"Young master, you've just come home from work, you haven't had a bath, you haven't eaten, and want to quickly meet the Princess?"

"But he's worried, isn't he?"

"Young master, the princess will get drunk and smell you."

"Ah... That's right."

"Then you take a shower first, and immediately eat the food I have cooked. To the Princess I'll tell her to get ready."

"Well Tiffa, thank you very much." Vallen held Tiffa's hand.

"Hehmpf... I'm just doing my job." Tiffa blushed in shame.

"BATHROOM... I CAME...!!"

In Tiffa's mind it reads

(Basic Young master. Idiot.) While embarrassed.

After Vallen was ready, he immediately went to the palace.

He met with the King and the empress, asking for permission to see her daughter.

"It is with great pleasure that we allow you Vallen, Illeria has lately been less excited. Maybe he's worried about you."

After that, Vallen headed for the Princess' room.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck.. (But knocking on the door.)

From behind the door, the princess answered.

"Who...?"

"Puteri, it's me."

Dugs... Dugs... Dugs... (Sound of running steps.)

When the door opened, Illeria jumped up and hugged Vallen.

"I miss you, Vallen."

"I miss you too, Illyria."

They both hugged tightly.
