Emperor's Reckoning

Despite his perverted nature, Fei replied with a smile and a little shake of her head. She let down her upper garment as it covered her six-pack abs.

"Maybe in your dreams," said Fei before continuing with a giggle, "Your adventure outside the kingdom sure has evolved you to be more brazen huh."

Lyon rubbed his head as he closed his eyes with a face full of smile, "Oh please, stop praising me."

(That was not supposed to be praise) thought Fei as her mouth couldn't help but twitch a little.

"So, did someone figured out as to why it happens?" asked Lyon.

There was no way this kind of thing would just be happenstance. The fact that this castle was built after the discovery of the room meant that Sylvanna's parents found it first, however, why was Sylvianna was the one that managed to 'activate' it.

"Not that I know of, none, we tried to decipher it but to no avail. There was one theory that this was actually an item with sentient and that sentient is now inside Sylvanna's body," explained Fei.

(That is a plausible theory, but) thought Lyon before asking, "What is the trigger for Sylvianna to activate that ridiculous power of her?"

In the end, this power was a double-edged sword. If one could harness its power the advantage would be unimaginable but if one loses control, it would harm the owner.

"Hmm, there is no definite answer to that question, however, based on the experience, maybe the trigger would be a sentient weapon?" answered Fei who was still pondering if her answer was correct.

"A sentient weapon?" (True, Gungnir is a sentient weapon with similar personalities, however, if that was the answer, then how come she turned black when she was a kid? Surely she had not possessed any sentient weapon at that time).

"Does anyone else ever touching that stone?" asked Lyon.

"Of course, even I did, however, none receive a similar effect as the miss," answered Fei.

People would definitely research the stone if it did hold such amazing power. A kid could leave a permanent scar against Fei, who didn't want such power.

"Do people of Nostria knew about this other 'identity' of her?" asked Lyon.

"No, it was kept secret from the citizen to avoid unnecessary distress," answered Fei.

At that time, the kingdom was still at its early phase, a little wind would probably shake the foundation. However, by covering it, it also came with a price.

(So the people and neighboring kingdoms didn't know that Nostria's Queen is actually a behemoth to be reckoned with haha!) thought Lyon as he couldn't wait to see the citizen's reaction if they knew the truth.

Closing his eyes as he smiled, he faced the stone that had weird engravings on it. He stood with confidence as he slowly opened his eyes and focused on the odd language. (Hm? I can... I can read this!?).

The odd language that he was not familiar with at first glance was now revealing its meaning. His pupils shrunken as his eyes opened wide.

'In this world, I seek power,

Derived from corruption, derived from chaos,

Strike only the strongest, slapped the weakest,

It was a devil, not yet a god,

With a blank heart, I shall taint!

Forsaken but not forgotten!

Redeem! Redeem! O' You who will be Queen!!'

The verses were blatantly shown in front of Lyon's eyes as he read it carefully inside his head. 'To read is easy, to understand is hard' was probably the perfect quote to describe Lyon's state right now.

(I have no clue who wrote this nor the purpose, but those verses are quite empowering!) thought Lyon as he couldn't help but nod.

"Hmm? Do you understand anything?" asked Fei as she noticed Lyon's gesture of understanding.

"Nope, not a clue," answered Lyon with a smile. There was no point in telling her these verses if she didn't even know the language in the first place because chances were slimmer for her to know who the maker was.

Fei had black lines over her head before turning away, "Let's go, we shouldn't waste our time here."

As they exited the room, Lyon glanced back at the stone before closing the door with a smirk on his face.

--------------------------------

Inside the castle was a conference room that could hold roughly twenty people. A round table was located in the center as chairs already neatly assembled.

The sound of a double door opening was heard as figures of different sizes and shapes entered the room. Their footsteps brought out an otherworldly bearing as they neatly chose a chair and sat with silence and elegance.

"Ah, big sister Ryona, come sit beside me!" said a little green-haired girl clothed in white.

The latest figure perked up a smile before nodding and approached the little girl and sat beside her. With her personality, she never would have participated in this sort of event, in fact, none of them would.

There was one being that had such ability, to assemble these different personalities into one room.

"Everyone is here already?" asked a beautiful figure at the door. Her red and blue eyes exuded that of a divine being. Today her blue hair draped around her shoulder as she flawlessly sat on one of the chairs available.

Kyoko, who was still referred to overseer by her fellows, of course, the only one that could manage to assemble them this easily.

From a little girl to a grandmother, a wolf prince to a grim reaper, a shapeshifter to a knight. The conference room inside the castle suddenly become the safest place or the most dangerous place at the same time.. This was quite possibly, Nostria's greatest force.
