Chereads / Cultivating in this Wonderful World / Chapter 78 - Deliberations

Chapter 78 - Deliberations

Hyoozaburo, Yuiyui's half-brother, had murdered his wife and killed his children, judged and sentenced by the Carmesis mages to be sacrificed.

The reason Yuiyui seems hesitant to speak of Hyoozaburo with Milcar appears to be because he was her half-brother.

Now, Milcar simply lies on a large bed, Yuiyui, naked with a blanket covering her body, embraces Milcar with a serene smile on her face.

Staring at the ceiling, Milcar can't help but feel a bit nostalgic before smiling slightly.

"Second level of the Foundation establishment...", Milcar murmurs, having spent several nights lying with Yuiyui, he has reached the second level of Foundation establishment.

Milcar's power has multiplied several times; now, he can do things he couldn't before, like challenging some key laws of the world. However, this only leaves Milcar feeling somewhat disappointed.

A few days ago, he had come to the conclusion that he should go to the celestial plane to see if Aqua or Eris were there. But, What would that achieve?

Milcar believes that if he were to go to the celestial plane, he would only encounter an Aqua or Eris who doesn't know him, so, Why bother?

Lightly embracing Yuiyui in his arms, Milcar begins to believe that this life might not be so bad after all.

After all, Yuiyui is very loving, Megumin and Komekko are truly acting like good girls, and he holds a high position in a developing city.

Luna has also been begging him to come to her house multiple times, though she really seems to be in love with him, Milcar prefers to keep his distance from Luna, as she seems like a woman who has lost her reason.

Gently patting Yuiyui's delicate body to his right, Milcar can't help but feel some affection for this woman; gradually, his mind clears, and his consciousness becomes clearer.

"Sir Milcar!!"

However, a loud voice followed by desperate knocks on the door of his large room draws his attention. Raising his eyebrows at this intrusion, Milcar dresses and then opens the door with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Sir Milcar!!, Princess Iris has come to visit!!", The captain of the castle guards informs him frantically, barely pausing for breath before looking at Milcar with worried eyes.

"Sir Milcar, the princess must not know about your lover...", the guard replies with concern before staring at Milcar with reddened eyes.

Milcar opens his eyes slightly; he had forgotten that Alderp Alexei Barnes said he was betrothed to Princess Iris.

However, How could Milcar simply bow his head to a princess?

Milcar smiles before shaking his head slightly.

"I... I am Milcar, Foundation Establishment Stage Two Cultivator!!... Do you think a princess can subdue me?, Hahahaha...", Milcar proclaims proudly before bursting into laughter.

"Well, it seems you finally reveal your true self... Sir Milcar...", However, a familiar and delicate voice is heard not far from Milcar.

Not far away, Iris, along with Claire and a woman who looks like one of those wizards from video games, walk slowly.

Milcar, knowing Iris is watching him, simply smiles as he watches Iris, Claire, and the mage woman.

"I didn't know you could cosplay Guinevere in this world...", Milcar jokes, noting Rain's style, her clothes, her hair, and everything about her.

Rain, Claire's fellow mage, tilts her head in confusion. Why does Milcar seem to be making fun of her way of dressing?

No one understands what Milcar means, so there is a brief moment of confusion.

"It's been a while, Sir Milcar. I see you now enjoy playing with middle-aged women...", Iris spits with displeasure upon seeing a scantily clad woman hiding behind Milcar.

The guard who was previously nervous quickly retreats, leaving Milcar to deal with the problem alone.

"Hmph, is that so?", Milcar smiles, although before all this madness where the world seemed to change, he had some feelings for Iris, those feelings have slowly faded, especially after spending a few nights with Yuiyui.

It can be said that Milcar is very volatile on these matters.

Milcar watches Iris for a moment before shaking his head. Could this princess and the Belzerg Kingdom behind her be something really important?

However, Milcar still can't help but think of the divinity he obtained from the soul of Iris's half-brother, the crown prince long ago.

Days earlier, Milcar had searched for those chests Alderp mentioned previously without success.

When asked about these chests or the information that the royal family possesses divinity in their souls, Wiz simply shook her head in confusion.

Now, Milcar watches Iris with a somewhat macabre curiosity. Could the world's change have something to do with the royal family?

Milcar thinks this could be a possibility; after all, divinity should be something a mortal cannot obtain by simple logic.

Now, Milcar simply watches Iris, Rain, and Claire with curious eyes.

"Sir Milcar, the king has requested that Axel City support the front with supplies and ten thousand soldiers..." Iris states the reason she came to this place, her eyes scanning Milcar's body for a moment before blushing slightly.

"By the way, Why haven't you put on clothes yet?", Iris mutters distrustfully, unable to meet Milcar's eyes.

An audible laugh is heard from Milcar; Claire frowns with displeasure. Milcar seems to be laughing at Iris, mocking her.

Claire, a trained and efficient guardian, cannot help but feel that her princess is being humiliated.

"Little bastard!!" Claire shouts as her magic activates, several runes covering her body, and she jumps forward fiercely, her sword moving to cut through the air in front of her with a slightly loud noise.

"Wait!!, Claire!!", Iris, realizing Claire's actions, shouts to stop her, but it is too late.

Claire's body moves at great speed, her sword impacting Milcar's chest with a dull thud.

A slight gust of wind sweeps through the surroundings as Claire's valuable sword shatters into a thousand pieces upon impact with Milcar's chest.

Claire opens her eyes with surprise; her mind stops, her heart seems to beat less intensely, and her body seems unresponsive.

However, Milcar simply moves his right hand to grab Claire around the waist, thanks to her previous movement, Milcar can embrace Claire tightly.
