Waner looked at me dumbfounded and said "You mean to say you aren't an elf? I always thought you were one..."
I looked at his surprised face and smiled "That's what help me to hide my race those elongated ears were fake."
Asteria looked at Waner with narrowed eyes and said "Tell me what's happening in Anatatos. Don't miss out a single detail."
I got Asteria out of my embrace and sat beside her with an upright position.
Waner immediately knelt down on one leg and said respectfully "Yes! General Jin!"
Mei noticed the change in atmosphere amd immediately sat beside Asteria. Though she didn't look like it, she was still well endorsed in these situations because of her long lifespan and all the things she had experienced.
Asteria waved her hand to say that he cam continue.
Waner imediately started saying "Our border haven't been attacked since the last war against Northern polar alliance led by you. The alliance's rogue mages have tried to infiltrate into the army as spies but were purged to every last one of them by the measures you prepared."
I looked at Asteria and said "The alliance was exterminated completely? I can't belive that. There is something wrong here."
Asteria nodded and said "I know that. There must be someone from royal court playing behind the scenes here."
"Continue."
"Yes!"
Waner started narrating again "Third year of Galvin Calender, The new king ordered ordered the execution of all the inhabitants of both the northern stellar fields inhabitants who have immigrated here regardless of their status or class. 50200 year of Galvin calendar every single one of them were killed."
In Anatatos galaxy they have a unique way to distinguish time. They do it by naming the calender after the reigning monarch's name. Since every king has a fixed period of time on how much they can rule it doesn't makes it cumbersome and big differences can be also settled this way.
Galvin was the mae of curent descendant of royal family who is crowned as the moarch of the entire Anatatos.
I looked at Asteria deply amd said "...…Looks like his paronia runs really deep…..i think that's the main reason why your brother choosed him as his pawn to kill you."
Waner started sweating crazily after hearing my words 'Some one in this universe actually has the guts to kill Goddess Asteria? Who the fuck is so hell bent on dying?'
Mei was also surprised as a cold expression formed on her face as she asked "is this the brother you always talked about?"
It looks like she told Mei about her brother too.
Asteria nodded with a disguted look on her face "…Yes. Though the current king looks like someone who rules witha iron-fist, it can be seen by those old foggies in the court that his personalities can be exploited very easily."
"heh....You are right, I think the reason Waner is posted here is actually because he tried doing something stupidly righteous.....didn't you Waner?"
Though he looks chill and all Waner's loyalty to royal family and people of Anatatos is quite unbridled.
Waner froze for a bit but said said after a few seconds with a bitter smile on his face "The northern family's representatives were always throwing barrages of problems at King every year to solve, I found that suspicious so I got my personnels to investigate about what's going on. Three of them were killed while only one managed to return alive the information he shared was that the king has some dealing with northern representatives telling them to stall until 'Golden returns to yellow'. Then they can carry out with their plannings freely. I didn't understand the meaning but sensed something ominous so I made the report in order to royal court. The king siad 'Good Job' and that he will look into it and the next dat I was assigned to here."
"Doing awful shit behind the scene and still looking like a golden king to your people...…he is your brother's descendant alright."
I smiled coldly and said in bone-chilling voice "Though 'Golden returns to yellow'...this guy is quite ambitious I must say…."
Asteria tapped on my lap and said calmly with a gentle expression "Calm down….those who want to climb upto the highest heavens should be prepared to fall right onto their deaths too…."
'Golden returns to yellow'...it implies that he want to turn the Acestral Aureate Star into yellow color. That is, to loose it's lusture. That further implies that he wants to kill it's owner - Asteria.
Waner realised the puzzle here and his body trembled before it flashed with anger "This.... this is blasphemous! How dare he! Utterly presumptuous!"
For people of Anatatos..... Asteria is a truly divine existence. In the hearts of the people even the king couldn't measure up to her level. They veiw Ancestral Aureate Star as a holy place and worship it.
How can someone like Waner who is such a devout bear to hear such disrespectful words even if it's from the king.
"Stop! Stop! You will use up your entire vocabulary." Asteria said to Waner with a glare. She hates noisy people.
Mei and I laughed hearing her words.
I said "Dont worry no one in this cosmos is capable of killing her even if she's not in her peak...even I feels chills down ipmy spine seeing her battling."
Asteria glared at me as she said "You are saying that I am scary?"
I immediately realised my slip and showed a showed a sheepish smile as i said "Hahaha.....what do you mean teacher?"
Asteria rolled my eyes at me and said to Waner "you are still stupid to not find out what it meant beforehand. Tell me how the curremt king is in person."
"The current king is...well this is my personal observation but...he is very lustful....He has taken in 350 concubines since the start of his reign….but not even one of them is crowned Queen." Waner said awkwardly while scratching his hair.
