Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

Twilight Priestess entered and along with her were two faintly glowing leaves that floated beside her.

"These two leaves from the inner tree flew out, and I was following them," Priestess said with a smile.

Those two leaves continued flying towards the table and soon arrived near Arkhen.

"This… What is happening?" Loumil asked in surprise.

"Twilight Goddess is approving him in the highest regards," Twilight Priestess said as she looked at Arkhen and nodded.

"At the highest regards…."

Rina, Loumil, Cyrus, and Lorail were dazed.

Grace and Arkhen were confused since they didn't know about it.

Those two leaves circulated around Arkhen's head before entering his forehead, causing him to go into a trance.

"Can someone tell me what's happening?" Grace questioned with a wry smile.

Twilight Priestess smiled and said, "The young man here is receiving the same type of treatment that the ancestor of this family got. It's a blessing and recognition of the highest regard on Goddess Twilight's part."

"Oh…"

Grace looked at Arkhen and smiled, "I knew that he would become big. Sigh, but I am falling."

"You might get better. Who knows?" Twilight Priestess said with a gentle smile. "The medicine should be working after ten days."

"Yeah, I feel a bit better today," Grace nodded with a grin.

Rina looked at Grace and thought of something, "I'll call Elisa today. She also needs to return from Nightmare Land, anyway."

"Yeah. I feel like sparing with Arkhen since he is here," Grace said as she got off the chair and manifested her sword but suddenly lost her balance and fell on the ground.

Lorail frowned and quickly helped her, "Don't push yourself."

Arkhen opened his eyes at the moment as he felt his power increase.

"Cough… I am fine, mom."

Grace sat back in the chair and said to Arkhen, "Well, it seems that I can't spar."

"Let Arkhen stay here for a few days and continue the medicine. It's already showing effect after drinking for ten days," Priestess said with a light chuckle before she glanced at Rina, Loumil, and Lorail.

"You three should come with me and let the young ones spend time together."

As such, Arkhen, Cyrus, and Grace were the only ones left in the courtyard ground.

"So, where were you?" Grace asked Arkhen curiously.

"Training in some Nightmare Land," Arkhen said with a smile.

Cyrus almost choked hearing that and wryly smiled. 'Some nightmare land? Come on!'

But he didn't expose Arkhen since Arkhen himself didn't reveal that.

"Let's go for a walk instead of just sitting here," Cyrus said.

"Sounds good," Grace said as she stood up. "I also need to move a bit."

"Yeah, you are getting rusty," Arkhen said with a light laugh.

"You… wait," Grace walked towards Arkhen and pinched him on his waist.

Suddenly, they saw a faint starry projection of Priestess near them who said, "By the way, Arkhen's presence alone is enough to suppress Grace's curse for a while. So, you can go out as well."

"Oh? It should be because of the thing that happened just now," Grace was surprised.

"Indeed," Cyrus nodded with a smile. "It should be okay to go out for a while, so let's go."

"Oh, Cyrus. You have to come here as I have a task for you. Let those two go out," Priestess said.

"A task? Alright," Cyrus said before giving a star-shaped key to Arkhen, "this is the key to Steam Flying Ship outside. Take it and help Grace get some fresh air. But return before evening because the curse will fully activate at the time."

"Got it," Arkhen nodded as he took the key.

"Hehe, how about we go to Kashan Mountain Town? I want to drink wine from that place again," Grace said with a grin.

Cyrus wryly smiled and shook his head before leaving. "Arkhen, don't listen to all her demands. She is sick, after all."

…

After landing the ship at Kashan Mountain Town, Arkhen stretched his hand towards Grace, "Hold it."

Grace held Arkhen's hand and smiled.

Arkhen flew up before creating a steamy cloud below his feet for Grace to stand as both of them entered the town on the floating cloud.

"How strong are you now?" Grace asked curiously.

"Radiant rank," Arkhen replied with a light laugh, but Grace was dumbfounded.

"You… How?" Grace was shocked.

Arkhen shrugged, "I am a genius, you know?"

Grace rolled her eyes at his response. "Fine."

…

"Hahaha! Did that really happen?" Grace laughed loudly as she drank a small glass of sake.

Arkhen was telling her about the funny encounters he had in Nightmare land.

Although he ignored most of them, they were still funny when told to others.

"You drank two glasses already, so no more," Arkhen said before grabbing her hand. "Get up, and let's eat something."

"Alright," Grace said with a cheerful smile.

After three hours, evening descended, so they returned back to the Twilight Valley.

"Hais, It feels like I had a fun day after years, even though only three months have passed since I left home," Grace said, releasing a nostalgic sigh.

She sat beside Arkhen on a couch while the steamship was moving on auto-pilot towards the valley.

"I feel the same," Arkhen said with a smile while looking ahead.

Grace's eyes became heavy as she fell asleep. Her head arched before it rested on Arkhen's shoulder.

Arkhen looked at her partially visible face by turning his head towards her as his eyes shook.

He raised his hand towards her head as it trembled a bit before putting it on Grace's head and caressing it.

"Arkhen…" Grace muttered in her sleep before she locked her arms around Arkhen's arm and slept with a peaceful smile.

Arkhen's eyes dropped tears as he felt a lump in his throat.

'I will free you from your shackles of curse… I will.'

…

"Wake up. We've arrived home," Arkhen shook Grace to wake her up.

Grace opened her eyes and saw that she was glued to Arkhen. Her face was a bit red before she laughed it off, "Haha, it seems that I dozed off."
