For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

Chapter 59

"...nl"

".....ianl"

"SHIANL!!"

Covered in cold sweats and out of breath, Lennox jolted awake to his cold and dark room.

' ugh, it's only been a week since I last saw her, how come this stupid dream returned again '

Lennox has been bothered by a nightmare that keeps disturbing his slumber ever since he woke up in this body. With his knowledge of magic, he had tried many spells, magical herbs, and potions, but nothing worked. The resentment in his soul has piled up for years, making the seal on his powers difficult to maintain.

However, Everly is a Love. Her aura wasn't just to scam people into adoring her, but also works against malicious emotions and wicked creatures, and if trained properly then it can purify evil spirits. God's creation can not be compared with what is made by magic.

Being near her was enough to calm the untold resentment roaring in his soul.

' then again, what is the point in troubling myself about people I don't even remember'

Thanks to a certain bitch, Shianl ended up in this human body with barely any powers and vivid memories. He had to do that bitch a favour so she will return what was stolen from him, fortunately, what she asked for was a piece of cake for him.

{ rule a nation for me, Shianl }

{ Bitch, what shit are you spouting? }

{ You are a honourable being, you was born to be above all living creatures, to be the absolute sovereign }

{ ... }

{ there is this human who made a contract with me in exchange for a new era. I was yet to find a suitable candidate who is able to create such a world for the fragile humans, when I lucked out to meet you }

{ and why would we grace you with our acceptance? }

{ you have lost your Sin, and I saved your life }

{ no, we surely have died... }

' tsk, why I am thinking about that? '

Lennox brushed his hair back before hopping out of bed, he pressed a button that is connected to the servants' rooms then headed to the bathroom.

To his best part of the day.

[ soaking in the water for an hour ]

After dressing lightly, Lennox sat at the dining hall across Annasophy who was glaring at him for a while.

"Lenny"

As he began chewing his food, Jennings called for him with his usual fatherly tone.

" next week is Fletcher and Ms Catherine's wedding ceremony. You will have to wake up and prepare early that day"

Normally, the imperial family wouldn't attend nobles' weddings and personal celebrations, however, the Welfmores are considered family as well.

" hn. Would general Egerton attend the wedding as well?"

If Bernard comes, naturally Everly would be there as well. Few hours of being exposed to her aura would be beneficial for Lennox to have a couple days of peaceful slumber.

" He most!!!!!! It has been so many days since I have last seen my Evey!! I miss her!"

Annasophy suddenly exclaimed by the mention of Bernard.

" well, he and Fletcher are quite close, so I guess the general would there. As for Everly, I am not sure"

" How can he not bring her?!! I will chew his head if he doesn't "

As a loyal member of Everly's fan club, pressuring Bernard with her title as a Princess was the least Annasophy should do.

" dear, aren't you Ms Catherine's Bridesmaid? You won't have time to play with Everly "

Jennings soothed his daughter, who was planning to annoy people, as he felt some sort of loneliness by the fact that his and Bernard's relationship wasn't the same anymore.

" Bridesmaid? Is this something suitable for a Princess to do? Are trying to ruin the imperial family's reputation?"

Lennox snorted at Annasophy, the woman who always ravaged his fun.

" Cathy and I are best friends, it's natural that I will be her bridesmaid. Hmph, a loner who doesn't have a single friend like you, won't understand it."

" what a real bullshit. She must have chosen you for your ugly face, no bride wants her groom to look at other women on their wedding day"

Even though Annasophy clearly understands that Lennox was only mocking her and is aware of her beauty, which one glance from her can make men drop dead. She still picked up that glass in front of her and threw it at him.

After all, no one likes to be called ugly.

Fork

Bowl

Plate

Another glass

All sorts of tableware were thrown on him. yet, Lennox easily dodged them with a sly smile on his face.

" bitch, you can never reach me "

" You little-"

" both of you! Stop being so barbaric!!", Jennings's patient finally reached its limit.

" Anna, you are already a grown lady, watch your manners "

He then turned to Lennox and extended his hand towards him, pulling his ear.

" and you, stop bothering your-"

However, once his hand touched Lennox's ear, Jennings's frown turned to one of concern.

"Why are you so cold?"

When Lennox was born, Jennings was the most worried about him. Pale skin, body as cold as snow and can't be exposed to the sun. But most importantly, all servants were scared witless by just being in the same room with the prince. Despite not feeling his pheromones, Lennox's mother, the Empress abounded her child and refused to attend to him, leaving Jennings alone with the newborn.

For the first month, Lennox would suddenly wake up at night looking in extreme pain. Although Jennings called all the physicians in the Empire, they were either too scared to get close or couldn't figure what was wrong with the child. Knowing that he might lose his son Jennings spent many sleepless nights next to the newborn, thinking that if Lennox would die then the least he could do was to stay by his side.

Unexpectedly, as time went by, Lennox eventually became better. He was no more in pain and his pheromones greatly decreased, however, no servants were willing to attend to him until Rachel volunteered to do so.

"Hm, strange, I am still wearing my ring "

Even though it has been long since then, Jennings as a father, still had the fear of that time lingering in his heart. With a worried expression, he watched as Lennox took off his ring that was used to keep Lennox's body temperature the same as human's.

"Tsk, it ran out of mana"

"Can't you just fill it again?"

Lennox looked at Annasophy with fake disbelief, inwardly saying 'how can you be this stupid! '

" you think it's some sort of bucket I can fill whenever I want. It will take a month at least".

Hearing that it was nothing serious, Jennings's expression eased. He caressed Lennox's head before pulling his ear saying:" then again, stop bothering your sister ".

Thus, the family continued their dinner -breakfast for Lennox- with small chats along with the meal.

The servants this whole time:

[ I see nothing, I hear nothing ]

******

After exiting the Emperor's study with a pack of documents for the crown prince to do, the umbrella butler headed to one of the waiting rooms.

" his highness is summoning you, please follow me "

As he said that, a blond youth around 15 to 16 years stood with a genuine smile. He walked away from his seat and followed behind the umbrella butler to Lennox's quarters.

Knock, knock

" my lord, sir Ajiad had arrived "

" come in "

As the emotionless voice faded, the umbrella butler opened the door to the crown prince's lounge, an extreme cold breeze brushed by Ajiad's face causing him to tremble.

With his expression hidden behind the umbrella butler, Ajiad walked to the boy laying on the couch with a mana crystal floating above him.

" the hell is wrong with this disgusting face of yours?" Lennox asked Ajiad with appalled expression.

Was he trembling from coldness?

Was he wearing a terrified face?

Of course not. This man here is a crazy psychopath who is obsessed with power

. Not the type of power that you gain through your life, but the one that nature has granted you from the beginning.

Humans were born powerless, thus there were the most that Ajiad Alphonsus loathed. On the other hand, Shianl, as a honourable being, was born to stand at the top of all creatures under heavens. He surpassed all the living beings in every aspect that comes to mind, let alone, he was from a race that the god had favoured and permitted them to ascend to heaven.

In Ajiad's eyes, Lennox was the only existence who reached perfection.

" ah, your grace. Please forgive this low-life, it's just. I am too pleasured to be in the same room as your excellency "

Lennox looked at the young man who was pathetically trembling like a pervert in heat, before quickly waving his hand:" forget it, just report what you have found".

While Ajiad was trying to fix his indecent expression, Lennox took the chance to instruct the umbrella butler:" go inform consort Cha that I will pay her a visit in a bit"

Ajiad bowed properly, reporting what he managed to gather:" Everly Egerton, born in 1653, December, no details about the specific day. Was found abounded at the front door of a small temple of the Eternal Night's god, in a village called Ebral, near Rarin city. The priests raised her with the other orphans at an orphanage that belonged to the temple until the age of five, when a swordmaster adopted her to be his disciple. After that, she has been travelling with him and his other two disciples, general Egerton is the first, as for the other one, no details".

" This is the display story, what about the real one?"

" Unfortunately, not much was found about her, before appearing during the sublime tour ceremony. Although the priests and the children at Ebral village were familiar when we talked about her, there weren't any who recognized her name outside of the village. Even with the assistance of the Green Pigeons Marchant guild, we couldn't find any threads connected to her, as if she never existed outside the village ".

"I see. no need to search any further, general Egerton possess many resources, he probably has erased everything by now"

"If this is what your Excellency wishes to "

' This fellow could be quiet useful if not for his damaged brain....'

Ajiad Alphonsus, higher-rate magician and a member of the Alphonsus family who was responsible for managing the trade in Sitia Empire.

They first met when Lennox went to the Alphonsus mansion to investigate the death of the previous Earl. Ajiad was shocked by how fast Lennox proved his supremacy and dominance, even though all what Lennox did was simply breathing. Trying his best not to show his hidden personality, Ajiad kept trembling the whole time. But lost control when everyone rushed towards Adelaide, leaving the two of them alone in the room.

{ get up}

{ y, your highness. You are so-}

{ shut up, you sickening piece of trash. Get on your feet and stand far away from me}

Was all they said, however, it made Ajiad even crazier about Lennox. After that, Lennox summoned this man to make use of him by tracking the origin of Everly, which they couldn't find.

" you may leave now"
