After three years, there is peace in the four Empires.
"Father!"
William, the son of Camilla, came running to his father. He has light brown hair and beautiful pair of turqoise eyes. The Emperor who is signing some documents stopped and smiled at the adorable steps of his son. He stand up and picked him up.
"Why is my son here?"
Nicolaus happily asked as he slightly pinch the cheek of his son.
"I am sorry, Nico... he insisted to see you because he wanted to show you something"
Camilla elegantly replied.
"Why apologized again, my Empress?"
He asked and gave her a peck on her forehead.
"Sorry, it became a habit"
She replied and awkwardly smiled.
"Father! Here!"
William exclaimed and handed over a seed.
"A seed? What am I going to do with this?"
He curiously asked.
"Nanny said that if father give this to mother, then I might have a younger sibling!"
He excitedly replied but Nicolaus looks like he is not happy with it.
"My son, your mother is still recovering"
He said while maintaining his smile.
"Re-rewovering?"
He cutely asked and tilted his head. The Emperor just giggled and ruffled his hair.
"You will understand it once you get older. For now, play with your friends. It seems like they are waiting for you"
He said as he put him down. His child turn around and saw his friends.
"Be back on your study room before sunset"
Camilla said with a smile.
"Alright!"
William happily replied.
She and Nicolaus gave him a kiss on his cheeks before they let him go.
Now that Nicolaus and Camilla are alone, the aura of Nicolaus changed.
"Nico..."
Camilla called and hugged him.
"I almost lost you and our child three years ago... what if I indulged in my pleasure and this time my greatest fear of losing you will come into reality? I don't know what am I going to do if that happens... I think I might go crazy!"
Nicolaus replied in agony and tightened his hug on Camilla.
"I understand, Nico. You do not need to push yourself. I know that you are just doing this just to protect me. Your overflowing love and concern are already enough... no... more than enough for me"
She replied while smiling genuinely.
"Thank you, Milla. If only I am not married to an unknown person, I will definitely make you my Empress. But do not worry, the Temple is already fixing it, although they are too slow to fix it..."
He replied while frowning and Camilla giggled.
"Give them a break... remember that we just won the war against the Northern Empire"
She said
"I will definitely make you the Empress of this Empire"
He replied and caressed her cheek.
"Being your Empress in your heart is already enough but I will gladly wait, no matter how long"
She said as she seductively put her arms on his shoulders and both of was about to kiss but this was interrupted when the Nanny barged in.
"Apologies, Your Majesties! The C-Crown Prince...! He was possessed!"
The Nanny shouted while crying. They immediately went to the garden where William and his friends are happily playing just awhile ago.
"Liam, my son!"
Camilla weeped when she saw that her son was already restrained by fifteen Holy Shackles that was activated by ten priests. The number of Holy Shackles that is restraining someone possessed by 'the evil' indicates the number of people he murdered.
"No... how can this happen?"
She asked looking at the bloody dead bodies of William's friends and twelve servants.
"That was a luscious meal"
William said but his voice is deeper and creepier. Also, unknown black words is moving on thr half of his body.
"My son..."
Camilla called him while weeping but he just coldly stared at her. She decided to use her Holy Power but she was stopped but Nicolaus.
"I need to save our child!"
She hystetically shouted while trying to struggle from Nicolaus grip.
"Please calm down, Milla"
Nicolaus calmly said while hugging her despite her struggle to break free from his hug.
"What's happening here?"
Emperor Victor asked when he saw the chaotic scenario.
"Dad! Please save our Liam! Please!"
Camilla begged desperately. Seeing how heart-broken his daughter is, he immediately commanded Duke Jerome to contact Chief Priest Giovanni through the Eye of Convergence. It is a small round tool that Giovanni created when he entered the Temple. It is for immediate communication of the Southern Royals.
"Your Holiness! My child... please save my child, please..."
Camilla begged when she saw the moving image of the Chief Priest on the Eye of Convergence.
"Just give me a second, I will come there"
He said and in just a second he teleported at their place. He immediately checked William's condition.
"Your Majesty Camilla, please help me out in this"
He said while smiling but Nicolaus send him lightning which almost hit him.
"Calm down, Your Majesty. Your precious Empress is not that weak. Actually, she has an enormous Divine Power in her. Her life will not be endangered, I assure you"
Giovanni calmly replied with the rude treatment of Nicolaus.
"Please Nico..."
Camilla begged and the man who just stopped her awhile ago just heavily sighed.
"I will definitely save our son"
She said before she joined the transferring of Holy Powers to William to drive out 'the evil'. However, after half an hour, nothing happened.
"W-Why is it not working?!"
She exclaimed then they heard a creepy laugh from the child.
"Is that even a question? Can't you see that you are just weak just like this child of yours!"
He said and broke two of the Holy Shackles.
"Forgive me, Your Majesties and Your Highness!"
Giovanni exclaimed and activated the Prison of the Holy Fire. It is a strong Holy Power to seal the possessed body but after an hour, the body will start to be burning along with 'the evil'.
"W-What are you doing?!
Camilla angrily asked.
"I need to contact the Posse of the Unseen"
Giovanni calmly replied and activated his Eye of Convergence.
"Posse of the Unseen still exists?"
Victor asked with a shocking expression.
"What?"
A voice of a woman answered. Her voice is cold as ice and as emotionless as big rock. Also, her image in the Eye of Convergence is fully bandaged but her dark emerald eye can be seen while the other is also bandaged. She is also wearing a black cloak.
"W-Why are you answering instead of your older sister?"
Giovanni asked while his voice is trembling in fear.
"She is in the underground. Busy"
She shortly replied but her voice seemed irritated.
"C-Can you tell her to come at my location? I need her immediate help..."
He said as of he is begging but he got a silent treatment.
"Miss! I am Camilla Estridsen and my child is being possessed! I am begging you, please! Please save my son!"
Camilla said while kneeling and pleading knowing how powerful the Posse of the Unseen although she only heard that they are just legends.
"Milla... there is no need for you to kneel"
Nicolaus said as she helped her to stand up.
"You sh*tty old man. After you immediately left us minutes ago while we are dying, you are now giving us another problem. How about I also help to kill you?"
She cussed out at Giovanni before they lost the signal.
"I am sorry about that. That lady is short-tempered but she is kind"
He tried to explain then his Eye of Convergence lightened up and he answered. Another fully bandaged lady with brighter emerald eyes answered.
"Father, what is it?"
She asked in an excited tone.
"Vivi! My one and only savior, could help your Father?"
He happily replied.
"About what?"
She asked.
"I knew it. I need your help about this possessed child. Your younger sister did not tell you?"
He said while showing the Prison of the Holy Fire.
"No, not at all. She just came here in the underground saying that I need to contact you immediately"
She replied.
"Could you come here and save this child?"
He asked.
"For how much?"
She proudly asked.
"Name the amount and I will give it to you"
Victor answered.
"Very good! Then, come here instead. My father will decide who can come here"
She replied and signal was closed.
"My children sure are so cunning"
Giovanni said and activated an unknown holy circle. There and then, two ladies fully covered in white bandages appaeared. They are the two ladies that the Chief Priest just talked to in Eye of Convergence.
"I will really kill you"
The lady who is covering her right eye with the bandage, position herself in an attack mode with a deck of gold cards flowing in the air and encircled her.
"Essie, calm down, won't you?"
The lady called Vivi said. Essie silently withdrew the cards and stand normally.
"Why am I also summoned here, you old geezer?"
Essie irritatingly asked.
"Because you have an infinite absorption space. The child was possessed by an Ancient Evil"
Giovanni replied.
"F-For real?"
Essie asked and she looked shocked just like the others.
