"Is this the celestial weapon made by the Ancestor?"
Yvonne quickly took the crystal ball, not daring to be careless. She saw Michelle's face and quickly tried to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Your Excellence . You and the Ancestor just had a small fight. She shook hands with you and freed you from the Cycle of Rebirth. She even gave you a celestial weapon to help control monsters. That shows strong sibling love. Humans can't change that! Maybe in 1000-2000 years she'll stop being angry?"
"I hope so... I was wrong to attack humans without permission. But I had no choice! I never liked humans. Now that I have the monsters, it's a rare chance. If we wait for humans to get stronger, we might not get this chance again!"
Michelle liked this flattery. She nodded and called Yvonne closer.
"That's why I agreed to help you take over Edenmere. Angels always helping humans is so annoying! As a special reward, I'll teach you how to use the 'Eye of Galadra'."
The fastest way to enter the empire was to use the "Eye of Galadra". That's why Michelle taught Yvonne how to use it.
"Please think twice about attacking first, Your Excellence !"
Yvonne remembered why she came and quickly gave advice.
"We just called back all the angel legions. If we fight humans again now, we don't know how many will die... I think it's better to wait for humans to attack Edenmere first, then fight back. We'll have the advantage of knowing the place, so fewer casualty."
"How dare you! Wait for humans to attack Edenmere? I'm the great Fire Angel. How can I be scared of a few humans? No way! If... if my monster army could quickly go deep into the empire's south, I might not even need to use you angels!"
Michelle was clearly upset that her monster army lost. But she still strongly refused Yvonne's request. She asked angrily:
"Forget the other good things. I'm actually trying to help you angels. Aren't you happy that I promised to help?"
"No no, of course not! Thank you so much for your kindness, Your Excellence . We'll follow you to death!"
Facing such a harsh question, Yvonne didn't dare say more. She quickly knelt down and "thanked the boss".
Michelle's face got better when she saw this. But she seemed to think of something else and asked:
"Oh right, I want to ask about a human. Have you angels ever heard of someone named Fernando?"
"Fernando?" Yvonne was surprised, like she remembered something from long ago. "That name sounds familiar! Could it be the human Hero who had big trouble with us angels hundreds of years ago?"
"Hero ? So humans really have this legendary role! But I've never met one..."
Michelle got interested. She sat down and told Yvonne to continue.
"What kind of trouble? Tell me more about it."
"As everyone knows, before you came out, all monsters were led by the Demon King..."
Yvonne was clearly good at telling stories. After getting permission, she started talking non-stop about what happened back then.
Basically, the first half of the story was a very normal magical world story about a Hero leading humans to fight the Demon King.
Hundreds of years ago, the monster army led by the Demon King invaded the Eldoria Continent for the last time. Back then, Edenmere didn't always help humans. Usually, only a few angels came to the main world for special reasons.
So to fight the powerful Demon King who rose up from countless monsters, the human world had to choose a Hero from adventurers who were good with light magic, like they usually did.
Fernando, from a noble family in the Ilandra Dominion Empire, became the Hero because he was very good with light magic.
We won't talk about the details of the war. After trying very hard, and with help from some angels, humans finally beat the Demon King's army! Hero Fernando did the most work, no doubt. He killed the Demon King himself, ending the war completely. The monster army retreated to the Barren Lands and faced off with humans for a long time.
But no one thought the peace would last for hundreds of years! Even though new Demon Kings came after, because the angel army appeared, the monster army couldn't cross the line before the Fire God showed up. But the title of human Hero slowly disappeared as time passed.
The last Hero , Fernando, didn't retire after becoming famous. He and his friends, along with some mages, established the Sage Council. Yes, he was the first head of the Light Magic School in Crescent City!
He was successful in work and love. He became very famous for beating the Demon King alone and being called the great human Hero . Even some female angels living in Edenmere couldn't resist his "magic". He quickly fell in love with an angel named Shariel.
In other magic worlds, this love might be perfect! But in this world, Fernando wasn't a normal human. If he wasn't so good with light magic, it might not have been a big problem...
But that's exactly what caused trouble! Even though Fernando wasn't an angel, the Edenmere leaders decided to break them up before things got too messy, because they thought it was too risky for him to be with an angel.
Fernando couldn't accept this decision! Shariel thought she loved a human, not an angel, so it didn't break Edenmere's rules. So she refused to go back to Edenmere.
The two sides had a big fight. The "Post-Event Clearing" couldn't easily kill Fernando. Even the eight-winged angels they sent couldn't do it. They had no choice but to go after Shariel, who only had four wings. The result was very cruel...
Just like when Cyrae did her job and killed the traitors Peiji and Pachira, this couple was successfully separated - Shariel died right there, Fernando escaped alive. From then on, he hated the angels completely, and soon disappeared from the human world.
"Oh? Is all this true? This kind of problem happens when angels have babies with each other?"
Michelle frowned after hearing this. But she wasn't interested in the love tragedy. She seemed curious about the taboo of angels having babies with Hero es or others who were good with light magic.
"It's absolutely true! I remember I wrote the order to catch Shariel myself."
Yvonne clearly didn't understand what Michelle was thinking. She kept promising it was true.
"Okay, forget it then!"
Luckily, this old story didn't seem very important. They had big enemies to face now. Michelle waved her hand to dismiss Yvonne, but suddenly thought of something else to ask.
"Also, you said Fernando was born in the empire. Who's the ruler of the Ilandra Dominion Empire now?"
"Don't worry, Your Excellency. It's definitely not Fernando! He's very strong, but he's still just a human. Even if he could live until today, he'd be very old. The empire's emperor has always been from the royal family - the Cedric family - for hundreds of years. It has been two or three generations since then!"
Yvonne still didn't know why Michelle was asking these things, but she clearly wasn't brave enough to ask more questions. After answering, she bowed deeply and left.
Now only Michelle was left in the big meeting room, deep in thought. Well, Cyrae was also there, lying on the roof beam. She wasn't invisible anymore.
When Yvonne came in earlier, it really scared Cyrae. Yvonne was a ten-winged angel! She could sense light elements very well, one of the best among all angels!
To protect herself, Cyrae had to risk flying up to the roof beam to hide. She put away her wings too. That's how she barely escaped, thanks to this place filled with light elements.
But even she didn't expect there were other angels listening nearby! She was about to open her wings and turn invisible again to leave. But then Michelle shout angrily:
"Who's there? Come out!"
This scared Cyrae nearly to death. At first, she thought she got caught! But then she saw Michelle jump towards the side window. Michelle violently pulled in a four-winged angel who was hiding outside.
