LAZARUS REGULUS
Chapters 53. Solving Misconceptions.
"Uncle!" Alastair yells.
Altair and Golden Lion Namean were closing in on Iris and Carissa. On his shoulder was seen an Epic Beast Violet Mink. The purple-furred stoat was like it was so exhausted.
"Sorry, we're late."
"Kyuu." That Epic Beast Violet Mink jumped onto Lynelle's shoulder.
"Violet, did you tell me to deliver the message? You lost 90% of your space element. It took half a year for your space element to fill up again!" Lynelle rubbed Violet's head.
Violet gazed towards Winter with a hostile look. Snake-type beasts and stoat-type beasts were the main enemies in the wild.
"I haven't seen Beast Violet Mink in a long time. If you were a Legendary realm pinnacle-type Beast I would instantly kill you." Winter said coldly.
"That midget, ruined all my plans." Inner Carissa.
Iris and Carissa retracted their aura and went towards Altair. Carissa knew that if the fight continued it would be a big loss for her. The power of Delia, Winter, Altair and Namean is immense. If, the four of them joined not just himself even Emperor Alcander would be overwhelmed.
"If there were no Winter, Delia and Namean. I have a 50% chance of defeating Iris and Altair, "inner Carissa.
"Winter, I'm sorry for going to your territory with Namean." Altair says.
"Man, I don't mind. Namean is just a Legendary Beast who can't even look after his family." Winter says.
There was an unwritten rule between high rank Beasts that they should not go to other high rank Beast territories. If they violate they will fight and the loser will die or leave the territory, unless the high rank Beast is just passing by, relatives or wants to become followers.
"Snake, let's fight to the death!" Namean strengthened his aura.
"Namean, are you still looking for your eggs? What about your winged tiger wife? Did he leave you and go back to the Clan? He must be very disappointed. What about White Slaughter? I think he'll come looking for you to kill you." Winter keeps provoking Namean.
"Youmuummm..." Namean pounced on Winter.
Winter quickly evades Namean's attack, then whips Namean with his tail. Namean was thrown and his body hit a big tree.
"Namean, I don't want to fight you. You are a lion that has lost its fangs. I just want to say that the man must know your son's whereabouts." Winter said coldly, then glanced at Marquis Edgar and left the place with his follower Beasts.
Everyone is silent. Namean can be hit with just one attack. Carissa and Iris were a little pale. They were aware of something even though it was faint, but they now believed Winter had already broken through to the Mythical Beast realm.
"Namean, are you okay?" Altair asked.
"Altair, I'm fine. Quickly finish your business. The Snake's path of thought is hard to predict I'm afraid the snake's mood changes and attacks us." Namean went towards Marquis Edgar.
"Miss Carissa, Altair's uncle, how about we talk about this inside Regulus' castle." Alastair.
Altair nodded, then called for Namean to come along. But Namean refused. "Altair, I have a business here! You go and get your business done quickly." Namean, sniff the smell of Marquis Edgar. He was curious about Winter's words.
"Auntie, I want to fly with Peach and see Regulus' territory." Lynelle smiled.
"Alright, but you can't go to Winter territory. Don't act stupid! Eira will be by your side."
...****************...
*Regulus Castle.
Everyone, except Marquis Edgar was seated on an oval-shaped table made of blue-colored crystals.
"Iris, isn't Diana your servant? I didn't see it." Delia asked.
"Diana, go with Mr. Urs to the Kingdom of Terra. A few months ago." Iris answered.
"Who's Urs?"
"Miss Delia, lord of Urs is a Philanthropist of the House of Nobles of Regulus. He cured my daughter Blossom of her fear." Alastair answered.
"Carissa and Delia have not met for 31 years. Since, the party of the Golden Lion has been dissolved, our nine members are scattered." Altair says.
"Everyone, stop your pleasantries. Now is the time to get serious!" Carissa says.
Everyone is silent. Carissa was 20th on the list of the 77 Star of the Western Continent. Although, Altair and Iris also made it onto that list. However, they are only the order of 75 and 76.
"Carissa, I've learned everything from Emperor Alcander's letter. Lazarus is the son of the former Crown Prince of the Boreas Empire, formerly Prince of Arca. I just wanted to apologize for not being able to protect Lazarus." Altair says.
"My whole life, I just saw Altair's uncle apologizing." Inner Alastair.
"I'm sorry? Your apologies can't bring Lazarus back to life. Iris, why don't you forbid that fool from fighting Melanthios? Although, you are pregnant, but you know Lazarus has no chance of winning! Altair why did you order Lazarus to fight Melanthios?"
"Carissa, I didn't order Lazarus to fight Melanthios. When, Lazarus went to the Eternal Poison Forest, I was fighting with Namean to make a pact." Altair answered.
"Carissa, I banned it. However, Lazarus went to the Eternal Poison Forest secretly without my knowledge and the guards. I know Lazarus went to the Eternal Poison Forest from Count Aaron." Iris answered as she shed her tears.
"Altair, do you dare to swear?"
Iris is a Saint. He is an honest man. However, Carissa still did not believe in Altair.
"Carissa, I swear in the name of the Emperor, my Family and the Goddess of Light Elektra The Great. I'm telling the truth." Altair swear.
Clarissa digested all the information. He felt there was a strange. Why, all of a sudden Lazarus went to the Eternal Poison Forest to challenge Melanthios.
"Tokay! poke! tock!"
Someone knocked on the door of the meeting room. A servant opened the door immediately. It turned out that the one who knocked on the door was Richard the commander of the northern gatekeeper who was appointed the Knight of Regulus.
Seeing Emperor Altair Richard immediately kneel.
"Your Majesty, I would like to tell you something about His Holiness Lazarus. You may behead me for hiding this. Every day I feel guilty for not saying this." Richard prostrated.
Altair tells Richard to stand up and tell him what he knows.
"Your Majesty, 31 years ago on the night before Mr. Lazarus went to the Eternal Poison Forest. I saw it with someone."
"Richard, did you see me with someone!" Altair shouting.
Altair told Alastair to shut up, then said. "Continue, story!"
"Your Majesty, I was standing guard at Regulus Castle Park. I accidentally saw Mr. Lazarus and Viscount Vincent Burton talking about something. The face of Mr. Lazarus at that moment seemed very angry. The next day it was rumored that the lord had already died while fighting the Black Dragon Melanthios."
"Iris, is he telling the truth?"
"Sister, he's telling the truth." Iris says.
"Richard, you can go." Alastair says.
Richard bowed, then left the room.
"Sister, is Lazarus' death related to Vincent?!" Iris slightly shouted she was not a fool.
"Is Vincent related to Lazarus' death?" Carissa asked with an angry expression.
"Iris, have you noticed?"
"Sister, I'm so stupid! For 30 years I felt something strange. Now I know everything." Iris gritted her teeth.
"Iris, I'm too stupid too! I should have sent someone to watch over Lazarus. Even though, that fool always rejected him"
The killing aura slowly came out from the bodies of Altair, Iris and Carissa. Delia, who was there was very confused by the change in events that had just happened.
"Since Lazarus' death, Vincent joined the faction of the House of Nobles Leontios. While Aaron joined the Aslan Nobles Family faction. Is the death of Lazarus related to the two old Devils?"
"Sister, do we have to fight?"
"Iris, I don't want to be a tyrannical Emperor like Uncle Halbert. We don't have any evidence. Those old demons are smart at twisting the Facts and we don't know how strong they are either."
"I've guessed that man is a two-faced man! He's a coward! I remember when he teased Agenor's fiancee. Lazarus is fighting Agenor. In fact, what made the Lion Heart Empire and the Albion Empire fight more protracted was not Lazarus, but Vincent!" Delia who was silent watching everything suddenly said.
Altair and the others stared at Delia. They, they don't know about the story.
Delia, forgot that at that time there were only the three of them. Delia, tell me everything she knows.
"Altair, I and the Boreas Empire will help you investigate and fight against the Two Dukes. Indeed in the Western Continent there are rules other Kingdoms should not interfere with the problems of Other Kingdoms. However, it was different from the regulations of the Kingdoms in the Northern Continent. For the time being I have already completed this misunderstanding! I forgive you both." Carissa.
"No! The Lion Heart Empire will settle their own affairs." Altair says.
"Alright, Altair I appreciate your decision. However, the assassination of the Imperial Prince of Boreas was the business of the Boreas Empire."
Iris is reminded of the story of Winter.
"Sister, Winter has gone to the Eternal Poison Forest to look for the whereabouts of Lazarus' corpse. However, he told me something that was hard to believe."
"Tell me!" Altair and everyone said.
Iris started telling me everything she heard from Winter.
"No way! Even a Mythical realm person who did not possess a Immune Skill against high poison would not be able to last a single day in the Depth of the Eternal Poison Forest." Delia says.
"It's hard to believe! Except for Lazarus, no human can survive more than a day in the Eternal Poison Forest." Altair says.
"Is Lazarus still alive?" Carissa asked. "Winter, also said that he smelled Lazarus around Melanthios' nest."
"Although, those are all wild assumptions, but I wish that fool was still alive despite the odds of less than 10%." Delia says.
Note: If Alyssa was in this meeting room and heard their conversation, surely they would quickly realize that the man they were referring to was Urs/Lazarus.
...****************...
*Winter Nest.
"Human, you are strong! You can contract 15 high rank Beasts and dare to challenge me!" Winter says.
Lynelle and Eira look very exhausted with scars full of wounds. Around them lay 15 young high rank Beasts filled with wounds.
"Peach! Fenris! You all hang on!" Lynelle touched Peach's head.
"Just calm down, I didn't kill them all! I'm sure in a few more years, they'll be able to beat me easily." Winter says. "If, you challenge a Beast other than me with only 15 of the most powerful Beasts is the Epic Beast realm. You and all your Beasts will die!" Winter continued.
"Thank you, Mr. Winter when I became stronger. I will make you my contract Beast! " Lynelle exclaims.
"Haha. I like your determination young girl. Is your name Lynelle I admit you! However, I can't make a contract with you because I've found the right Master."
"What! Who is that guy?"
"I believe that man is still alive. Destiny will lead him here. Lynelle, don't be so greedy! As you get stronger, there will be more responsibility. Likewise, with your Contract Beast I'm sure they trust you a lot, but remember they are your family not a tool you easily throw away."
"Master I understand." Lynelle smiled.
Winter looked up at the sky.
"It seems I forgot to say that in the Dragon's nest there will definitely be a lot of treasures. However, when I left from there I did not find any treasures! That's why I'm sure Lazarus is alive!" Inner Winter.
*while it's at Regulus Castle.
"Iris, is that the skeleton of the Black Dragon Melanthios?" Carissa asked.
"Yes. This Mythical Beast Dragon Bone was extremely valuable for making Epic and Legendary Rank Artifacts to strengthen the Empire's economy and the strength of the Empire's and Regulus' forces." Iris answered.
"Iris, did you say Winter went to Melanthios' nest?" Altair asked.
Iris nodded.
"Mythical Beast Black Dragon Melanthios is a Dragon! In every nest Dragon must be a lot with a heap of Treasures and Precious Artifacts that he looted!"
"Altairi! I just remembered!" Iris said with a surprised expression.
At that moment Iris's emotions were unstable. He had just remembered that the Dragon was a very rich Beast. People always say "If you want to be the richest man in town then plunder the Dragon's lair."
"Iris, you're very smart, but you'll always be careless with things that concern Lazarus." Carissa says.
Iris recalled the moment Winter told her Alastair cut the story.
When he was asking about Treasure Melanthios in Winter. Winter will answer "Greedy Man! I'm not interested in treasure! Do you want to tell me to go to the Eternal Poison Forest again? In your dreams there are so many powerful beasts there."
Iris approached towards Alastair who was leading the people to dismantle the skeleton of Melanthios.
"Alastair." Iris smiled.
"Mom, do you need anything?" Alastair asked he felt his hair sitting up looking at Iris's smile. A familiar feeling he knew that Iris was angry with him.
"Follow me to the practice room."
"Yetoooooo!"
Alastair tries to escape from Iris.
However, it was too late that Iris immediately took out a rope-shaped Artifact to bind Alastair's body. After that he dragged Alastair into the training room.
"Pa–man, to-please!" Alastair pleaded with a face of despair to Altair.
Altair and Carissa just smiled. They already know Iris's nature.
"Cassandra and Blossom, I love you both so much. May we meet again in the Garden of Eden, "the inner Alastair who unknowingly shed a single tear.
Iris and Alastair entered the training room. A moment later there were many screams of Alastair's despair in the training room.
