Chereads / Ghost of Britannia / Chapter 46 - Changing World

Chapter 46 - Changing World

I can't seem to get that man from last night out of my head.

Who was he? Why does he want to get revenge for Amon? He wasn't killed he simply left one day and never came back.

I know gods exist and that they are beyond meagre concepts such as death. His eyes reminded me of Amon's left eye.

Could it be that Amon was revived from somewhere and that man was the one who did so?

Then if that's the case is Amon really my son?

No, of course he is, I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday, I remember being happy, and scared and sad that he never cried or acted as a baby should. I remember being a little jealous of watching him sucking Guinevere's tits.

I never really watched him grow or did anything to raise him, he just sort of took care of himself, denying me and his mother the chance to be his parent.

That man, he said I'll have to die and that a war's coming. I knew that much already, but I'll die? No way, I'm not as young as I was but there's no way I'll lose to other people, it'll take an army of monsters to kill me, and they'd need to do it without the remnants of the round table involving themselves.

Tristan, you will really betray me? After everything we've been through?

The man said that my death will deliver the drive Amon needs to gain enough power to kill gods. Does this mean the distance between us is all in my head and that he loves me as I do him?

Fuck. I have too many questions and too little answers.

"So, Tristan Anglia, to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?"

"Alucard Sanguis, it has been a while hasn't it. I remember the last time we met was on the battlefield. It was me and Lancelot against you and Dracula. Haha, those were the good old days."

"If you're here to talk about past battles you can leave."

"No, I'm here to offer you an accord. I'll be attacking Camelot and taking over Britannia, I want you to join me, Alucard."

Alucard seems to be thinking about something.

"Well the marriage proposal fell through, I have no reason to ally with Arthur, but what do I get for aiding you."

I smile at this proposal. I have already planned for this. He doesn't care for land or power. He can't be tempted by primal desires such as lust either. Now what could I offer such a man?

"I will grant you knowledge. Knowledge of magics true form and power for you to do with as you please."

"And how can I be certain of what you are telling me to be the truth?"

"You simply have to trust me and find out."

He thinks about my suggestion for a moment.

"Well I have nothing to lose from helping you and could possibly gain knowledge that has plagued scholars for thousands of years. I'll do it."

(POV Change)

The world's changing.

I can't tell what's happening, it's like my vision is clouded.

"Amon, what's wrong?"

Alice's voice called from inside the room behind me as I gaze over the city of Camelot from the balcony.

Everything around me seems normal enough, Leon's training while Maria, Maya and Alice just sit around and gossip.

The door opens and Leon enters the room.

"Amon are you really sure about this? Me and Maria going to the academy, I mean. It's a magic academy. I can't use magic."

"It's also a military school where you can learn battle tactics and how to use that sword of yours more effectively. On top of that I want to keep you two close in case Alucard or Dracula decide they still have beef with you."

"Well, okay then, if it means I can fight against you everyday then I'm all for it."

"Sure, I'll kick your ass anywhere any time."

I have zero doubt that this world is going to change. The question is, Leon, will you change with it and become a monster, or will you keep fighting in vain to be the hero?
