There in an abandoned cottage stood a man clad in darkness closing the eyes of a child, this was the demon king vindicta.'I cannot forget about the possibility that she is a mystic specifically the body hopper so I cannot reveal my face' The man looked at the cottage where earlier in the day kids were there playing but now there was nothing but death. He looked at the girl then left the cottage and used the shadows to sneak away.
' it's time, it's time to sow some discord it's time for this kingdom to reach it's end ' The demon king used his shadows to sneak into the palace of the king and went right into the crown prince's room. ' You didn't harm me but this is a necessary sacrifice with the crown in the hands of demon descendants the church will clearly begin to see them as enemies and the ones who had just acquired power wouldn't want to let go of it. It's only natural for war to happen'
' let me see so the current emperor has two children a boy and a girl so it's only natural for them to blame the girl and have her killed' he then brought out a knife and sliced his throat. Right before anything could happen the shadows knocked some guards out to make it believable that an assassin was hired and Vindicta vanished into the shadows before anything else could happen.
He then appeared back in Noah's room at the cathedral and he began to morph back into noah. Right as that happened Noah could feel that something had changed. The voice that was strong before had dulled and wasn't as strong but his emotions were still high.' Was this truly the right decision. I need to get revenge but is humanity truly all evil. Do they all need to be punished. No that girl and the orphans they were his desendants it's better to kill them now and they died painlessly better than the life they were living.
Noah then went on his bed and fell into a deep sleep as he was thinking how the world would react to what he had done yesterday.
He woke up to Loyd looking at him like an angry parent " come on saint we have to go there's a meeting going on and you have to attend." Noah woke up then went and washed himself before donning a white and gold shirt with the symbols of light on it and pants of the same color scheme.
This was what he had to wear as a saint and was what he wore most of the time unless there was a ceremony where he would wear a white cloak with a massive symbol on the front and gold decorating the hood of the cloak. Noah and loyd then began making their way towards the meeting hall were heads of the church would discuss important matters.
He walked in and spotted the pope who seemed to have aged 50 years from when he first saw him. He couldn't stand and the shear amount of wrincles he had highlighted his state. He was on the brink of death. The on next to the pope was the head of the cardinals and the right hand man of the pope, he was known as sergeus. " Something unprecedented happened yesterday the crown prince was killed and I have reason to believe that lady medusa and her followers will pin this on his sister".
" So how does this change anything the saint will simply regain the position all his predecessors had. If Medusa dares to claim her son as an absolute king then we will raise our forces and fight them and bring those heathens to the grave" All the people in the room begin cheering seemingly liking this idea, all except loyd and the pope. The pope then raised his hand for all to be quiet and then spoke" do not speak lightly about starting a war. We will do our best to make sure the saint is the head of the empire but we need to offer them something they cannot refuse".
The same man who had spoken before interrupted the pope and stated" My lord My saint if we lose the empire then we will be weaker then those fools at the divine goddesss church. Recently they have hailed their own saint a kid who has immense holy power they call her the priestess." 'The divine goddess church emerged 100 years after my death and firm believers of this church are able to use something called holy power which has healing properties.'
' while priests and individuals of the church of light use light magic they also have numerous techniques that are exclusive to them that make them different to other light mages. Whereas priests of the divine goddess church have their own magic that has significant healing power which has allowed them to gain many followers. Even though they don't have their own empire or kingdom the followers they have are scattered and they have many cities that belong to them across the world.'
The meeting had ended with no decision made about what to do but war will happen all that will change is if it happens in the next five years or in the next five months. This all depends on when the emperor dies as it seems that the pope won't make it past the next five hours so the decision of when the war will happen rests on the emperor.
'Let me see based on what my brother stated I will naturally meet the rest of the mystics and that they are all my age so then where would I meet them. If it is when we grow up then there is very little chance that we will all meet as I am a saint so then it would be safe to assume that they are all in random positions. That means the best bet for when we would meet is for us to be in a location where our ranking doesn't matter. That would be an academy, and based on what ability each mystic has it is safe to assume that they are all talented. Which means we will meet in an academy that requires talent.'
After doing his deduction on what could happen in the future Noah went into the library to focus more on his studies and maintain the image of a dutiful mage. During the last couple of years he has discovered that Aldera the kingdom in which that man belonged to had collapsed with there being no record as to how that happened. It also mentioned that many alderan refugees fled to different countries and how throughout the years there had been many attempts at rebuilding it.
' hmm I wonder how monstra is right now, I mean surely the monsters there had gotten stronger now. That means there must be some that could rival even me '
