EMPEROR: The Untold Story
Trance

“Who is he?” xavier asked as he looked at the Emperor who was currently in a human form.

“Kaknya Ori,” replied Valent.

“Kaknya Orion,” reset Xavier, still staring fixed Emperor, “Since when was he here?”

“You brought him here,” said Valent.

“I?” ask Xavier.

“You,” press Valent.

“When do I bring him here?”

“A month ago,”

“How can I never see it?”

“You see him every day, kok,”

“What do you mean Valentino?!” sahut Xaver.

“Later also you know who he is,”

“I want an explanation now,”

“Oh yes I also want to be honest with you,”

“What?” Xavier was getting impatient.

“Ori my girlfriend, watch out you touch her again,” Valent said threateningly.

“Job...”

Orion just smiled sweetly in response to Xavier.

“Actually what is this?!” xavier started to panic.

“I'm again lazy story, lack of sleep nih..” lamented Valent.

“Probably... This one will adequately explain who we really are,” the Emperor said as he moved on and turned into a Black Tiger.

Cyril.

And Xavier was agape.

Then he fainted.

“Stupid base,” grumbled Emperor while licking his big nails.

“That's just you turning into meow, how about Orion who's like a dragon, try?! Just-there's... Let's go!” valent carried Xavier's body and exited the castle to get to the car.

Emperor changed again into a human being, “There is no shirt that can adjust the body when I change shape? I'm tired of changing clothes,”

“Yes you are a Tiger just continue, if in Adinda's room you become human. Very difficult indeed. Kings and Queens rarely turn into humans in front of people,” said Valent while inserting the body of Xavier who was still unconscious in the car.

“That's because Dad said, their faces were less authoritative when they became human figures,” Orion said.

“Oh, the image problem turned out..” Valent said as he sat in front and inserted his fingerprint on the side button of the steering wheel and turned on his car engine.

They arrived at the Abizar Azzarro Building about an hour later. Upon arriving, they were directed to a room on the top floor, the 40th floor. The building was extremely luxurious with glittering golden ornaments.

Orion shivers. Then he held the Emperor's arm against his chest.

A sign that he feels the existence of a strong, but dangerous entity.

“This isn't Brother Conrad,” his his hiss.

“Not? Then what?”

“So, I honestly felt the air of Brother Conrad when we attacked the Quon Mansion. He called my name at the last moment, but unfortunately as I searched, the voice disappeared. The wind that rippled brought me the aroma. I think further, it doesn't seem to be my delusion. But the one now..” Orion shuddered, “What now, I dare say that everything is different. This isn't him,”

“I have also felt it, when in the Mansion there is something surrounding us, pacing. But I ignored it because I thought it was just my delusion,” The Emperor clasped Orion's fingers trying to calm the girl, “Impress, he wants to get into tower 3 but can't. Always bouncing. And it's like a desperate roar,”

Valent, who heard their talk, turned a glance, then sighed.

“Gallard and Luis saw Conrad, almost killed. So it's definitely him,” Valent said.

“You guys from earlier talked about what the hell?” ask Xavier to be confused.

“What do you mean Valentino?!”

Xavier smiled and patted Xavier on the shoulder, “Have the best for us Boss yes. You're it... Agha's descendants are good. You wake up and you guard the castle with your struggle. We...”

Valent stopped and faced Xavier with a smile.

“We, citizens of Zafiry, on behalf of the King and Queen, and The Heirs of the Throne,” Valent appoints the Emperor and Orion with his palm, “Talk many thanks,”

Xavier stared at Valent wide.

He did not fully understand the words that Valent spoke, but somehow his heart felt sick and sad.

There was a roar from inside the room.

Then...

Valgar came out from inside one of the giant doors.

“Welcome,” greet Valgar.

Xavier's getting slacker.

Valgar is the Chairman of the Assossiation Government whose job is to secure every mobster in Ruby Country. Their rules are absolute and notoriously unmitigated in preventing all mafia movements.

All suspected Mafia members cannot transact in Ruby Country. This is a clean area. All circulation and embezzlement, buying and selling and other things that are illegal, must be traded abroad.

Their main mission is to destroy all the Mafia, but they are currently hit with the role of the mafia in the government itself. Organizations like Velladurai, Quon and Abizar Azzarro are the biggest tax contributors in Ruby Country. Also the defense image they created made other countries disinclined to the Ruby Country.

So it's been an amazing thing to see Valgar show up here.

Especially when Valgar went to Valent...

“Gabriel,” sweep to Valent.

“Dad,” reply Valent without expression.

Xavier squealed in shock.

“Ah, since we are now in the scope of Azzarro, it might be more appropriate that I call... Albert The Wizard,” hiss Valgar while smiling cynically.

A terrible smile that was very sneaky, made Valent want to cast a spell of destruction.

“However, Gary The Greatest,” Valent replied, “In this world I was born from your DNA and my mother's content who knows who. Ah yeah, why hasn't your name changed, huh, Gary...? did you add GG initials in each of your suits and ties too? GG, Gary The Greatest, hehehehe,”

Valgar's smile vanished, replaced with a slow growl.

“Me and Conrad once joked about it,” Emperor spoke up, “Because GG is too feminine, like a girl with a lollipop in her hand. Gigi Hadid, the effect is sweet and beautiful,” the Emperor and Valent chuckled amusedly.

“More mending it than Valentino Gary so VG, so he called Veggie, indicating that you are vegetarian, hehehehe,” again Valent and the Emperor chuckled amused

They did deliberately upset Valgar, because they were very sure the mastermind of everything was him.

“We'll see how long your laughter lasts,” growled Valgar.

“Valgar, just admit they're right. I also wonder why you're so proud of the nickname The Greatest. Though the post was just a subtle call to ‘Assistant King-Queen’,”

A voice made them look towards the door.

Conrad was there.

With a crystal glass in his hand, and his faint smile.

He felt empty and tired. With my eyes that don't seem to sleep for days.

The Emperor and Orion looked at him tensely. Orion even took a step back.

In his heart, the girl was raging.

It was definitely not Conrad, but there was a glimmer of light within him. The actual fragment of self, trapped inside and not wanting to get out. It's like regretting everything and being afraid to face everything out there.

Valent looked at Conrad sharply. “You and I are the same. Stuck up. The difference... I do want to stay in the body ‘Valent’ and this body accepts me well, if you are forced in but do not want to go out again because it has been frightened,” hiss Valent slowly.

He was only able to diagnose what the creature in front of him was, when he met in person.

And now Valent knows what Conrad's disease is.

A severe possession.

It could be that, judging from the aura that looms over him, Conrad could not be saved unless ‘dukun’nya dead or he himself died.
