"I'm not cooperating with humans" the Emperor growled.
"Let me go Cyril, please,"
The chuckle of the Emperor tightened even now that he was lifting the valent up by still gripping the man's neck.
"What do you call me?! Cyril?" grunting the Emperor, "Your presumptuous mouth will be silenced immediately!"
Stifling, Valent pulled out a silver knife from his waist and he thrust it into the Emperor's arm.
CRASHES!
The Emperor shouted furiously and released his grip onto Valent. A silver knife stuck in his arm.
The demon pulled out its hilt, and the wounds on its body closed slowly.
Valent coughed while managing his tight breathing. But he did not try to escape.
He must endure.
Because it could be, the Emperor is the way out to defeat Velladurai.
"I also will not worship at your feet, Prince. You are not my lord. Your time is over. You're such a coward for being alive when your tribe goes extinct!"
"This is because Albert put me to sleep
"Yes, then you kill yourself now!" exclaimed Valent annoyed. "If this is the name of death, do not want to live. Your work is just showing your arrogance! You think I'm scared?!"
"Get me talk!"
"Or what? You kill me, then you lose information about your family. You'll also be hit by thousands of my men. You saw our armory, right? Your strength will also be exhausted…"
Emperor remained silent.
He looked at Valent who was still kneeling while panting.
This human in front of him had the blood of a knight. But his tongue is split. I don't know which one to trust.
"Right now, I'm the only one you can trust" said Valent as if he knew the Emperor's fall.
He sat on the sofa near the same while trying to sit down in a relaxed manner. His whole body is sick.
Some cc of his blood was sucked by Orion and he hasn't had breakfast. So it's definitely the head feels dizzy amazing.
"I later kissed Orion's whereabouts in this castle. I didn't think he was with you. So you're the one who escaped from that prison?" ask Emperor.
"That's with his consent. I'm sorry Cyril, but I need you both. If you leave, my mission won't be accomplished,"
"Mission?"
Valent nodded, "Destroying this organization from the inside,"
"You're a traitor, huh?!"
"I'm not a traitor. I'm intruder. We were on a mission for this from the beginning. We are government people. And this organization could not simply be disbanded or would result in chaos everywhere. We have to do it slowly, from the inside" Valent said.
"I don't like the people here either. But what I'd rather not be is the leader,"
"At least we have something in common" murmured Valent.
"Cyril," Valent sat leaning toward the Prince. "My name is Gabriel. I know about your brother from the Book of Zafiry. My brother who also infiltrated Adam Quon's mansion yesterday gave me a sample that after we researched contained the scales of a black snake. My mind went straight to Orion, because it was told in the Book that the poison in Orion's body could cause the whole body to burn in a matter of seconds,"
"Hooo, Book of Zafiry," the Emperor murmured.
"My other brother infiltrated Abizar Azzarro, this kind of organization but bigger. One day we're going to attack there, but right now there's no chance,"
"In the safe," Valent pointed to the giant painting in front of them. "I've copied it. I thought it was an ordinary book. I read his intention idly because I was tired. And suddenly you came. I was shocked because of your resemblance to one of the characters in the Book. I came back here again and hurried to read more freely. Because Xavier could suspect that the book wasn't in the safe," Valent opened the giant painting. Behind the painting, embedded a safe of gold.
Valent pressed some codes, then his fingerprints, and took out a thick book that looked old.
The Emperor accepted it and sat down on the sofa. In silence, he read the book.
While Valent drank some wine there, trying to recover his body.
For a moment, silence enveloped them.
The voice of the waiter who works upstairs, the voice of the members of the sayup-sayup joking, the sound of the vacuum cleaner, the smell of cigars…
It's rare for both of them.
Tranquility.
A few minutes later, the Emperor shed his tears.
Valent just took a deep breath.
The Emperor's family, his people, loved ones vanished in one moment.
The peace that they had built for hundreds of years was shattered.
The war must still be very different in the memory of the Emperor and Orion. 200 years have passed, but it felt only yesterday because of a long sleep.
"This book is 80% accurate" the Emperor sighed as he closed the book and returned it to Valent, "Which wrote it is definitely not a member of the royal family. Maybe a slave or a concubine survived,"
"How many slaves and concubines do you have," this is just a random question out of curiosity, from Valent.
"I have 50 concubines myself,"
"Gosh," grunted Valent while chuckling in disbelief.
"Conrad and my father could have been more. The average of the human. We do this because our birth rate is very rare. While humans have a more flexible body structure than us stealth. Our class can only give birth to a child for life. We could be 1,000 years old,"
"Did your pregnancy program work?"
"I haven't had a child yet, neither have my brothers. We were just born. I was 29 years old last. Conrad and Olena are twins, 25, and Orion is 17, the youngest,"
"Orion is 17 years old! Shit.." Umpat Valent.
"My parents were 500 years old when we gave birth,"
"I'm 34, so I'm older than you. Long sleep I don't count, yeah!" Kekeh Valent's.
The emperor just grunted.
"I will call you Emperor to disguise your true identity. You can call me Valent. And believe me, I've checked the background of the descendants, not my family that attacked your village. I'm from America, part of my family is from Canada, so we're not in touch,"
Valent did not tell him about Agha, the alleged traitor and that Velladurai was his descendant. He did not want the Emperor to rampage here and destroy everything.
It would be very striking to the public then how. They had to do it slowly so that Velladurai's destruction could be 'beautiful' from the collapse of the Quon.
"Kai, listen. Strengthen your heart." Said Valent, "It turns out that in Adam Quon's mansion there's a hidden warehouse. We have to infiltrate there again through the police barricades. It's likely that both your parents and Albert The Wizard's spear are there,"
"My parents...? Are they still alive?!" The Emperor looked at Valent in shock.
Valent bit his lip, "Kai, in the last moment of your life you saw all the brutality of humans, do you believe they're alive today?"
Emperor remained silent.
"At least, even if only one met his ashes, a child would want to bury his parents properly" said Valent.
