Chapter 107 - Deception

-In the castle of the Asura Kingdom while Rudeus was fighting in bed with Atofe-

..

..

-King Timothi!!, King Timothi!!- a brown-haired man shouted through the castle corridors while heading to the throne room

As he was about to enter the throne room a man with black hair and red eyes who appeared to be in his 40s stopped him.

The man wore a refined golden armor and had a 1.5 meter long rod at his side of the same golden color.

-Wooops, calm down sir, but no one can see the king without an appointment- the black-haired man said with a smile

-Kallman!, let me talk to the king, this is of utmost importance for the security of the kingdom!!- The brown-haired man snapped as he tried to push the man out of his way.

Next to Kallman was a woman of about 80 years old, she had a calm and beastly look, the same type of luxurious golden-colored armor and at her waist rested a sword.

She was the Water God Re铆da Lia or by her real name Isolte Cruel

She didn't pay any attention to the brown-haired man, in these kinds of circumstances Kallman always dealt with this kind of people while she only acted when there was a real danger.

-King Timothi, let me pass! It is of utmost importance! - the man continued to struggle with Kallman

-Let him pass Alek...- a voice was heard from inside the throne room

Eh immediately the brown-haired man went to the throne room

-Your Majesty....- the man murmured as he knelt down with one foot

-Zephyrus...what's happening?- King Timothi asked looking at the man

-Your Majesty, something serious has happened. Yesterday, the existence of a girl Miko was made known, and on the same day entire villages in southern Asura were destroyed by what appear to be magical beasts...- the man muttered

Timothi listened attentively to what the man was saying.

-The one who gave us this information yesterday was a man called Nolan, but he arrived late...- The brown-haired man murmured

-I understand...but what does the Miko have to do with the destroyed villages?- Timothi muttered

-Your Majesty...the girl's power according to Nolan...is to summon magical beasts...very powerful...- the brown-haired man spoke.

Timothi's eyes widened at this revelation, a Miko with such power would be devastating to the kingdom....

-What did you mean when you said Nolan was late?- Timothi muttered.

-Your Majesty...- the brown-haired man was speechless, fearing the king's reaction.

-Barry! Speak up, what did Nolan mean?!!- Timothi demanded

-The Miko...was kidnapped...by soldiers of the kingdom of Gardenia...-Barry Zepyrus Greyrat murmured

It only took those words for a war scenario to form in Timothi's mind...

-A-are you really sure of the existence of this... Miko?...- Timothi murmured

-Yes, yes, Your Majesty... for some years now, there have been rumors in the south of Asura... the area that I manage, that a blessed girl lived there who performed miracles, but her power was never specified...-Barry murmured

Timothi could only watch Barry in disbelief.

-We don't have a good relationship with the kingdom of Gardenia...if we demand that they bring back the Miko...-Timothi murmured

-But if what you say is true... then his soldiers invaded the nation without warning and kidnapped a powerful being for their ambitions....- Timothi murmured.

-What will happen, Your Majesty?- Barry asked.

With the support of the Dragon God...if we have the support of Peragius and the Dragon God...the kingdom of Gardenia won't stand a chance! - Timothi declared with his mood improving.

Suddenly Timothi rang a device and shortly after a butler entered the throne room.

-Yes, my lord? - the butler asked with his gaze on the ground.

-Immediately contact the Orsted Corp and organize an urgent meeting!now!!- Timothi commanded

The butler nodded and bowed before quickly leaving.

-if all this goes well we can avoid a war - Timothi declared.

Barry could only nod in response.

..

-Rudeus Pov-

..

..

When I reached the balcony overlooking the sky I could see my wives drinking tea while they were all sitting at a table next to Peragius but I could see that all of them had tense expressions

-Rudeus, you're back...- Peragius said as he looked at me in a serious tone

My three girls immediately turned to look at me with big smiles but they didn't last long because of how tense they looked.

-Something serious has happened, sit down- Peragius indicated

I sat in the middle of Sylphie and Roxy and Alek sat next to Nanahoshi

I looked directly at Peragius as I waited for him to say what was happening.

He looked me in the eyes and raised an eyebrow.

-hmm?, that presence..- Peragius muttered but shook his head as if he was getting rid of a silly idea.

-Was your meeting with Atofe fruitful?- Peragius asked

-Yes..but I guess there is something more important here, right?- I murmured.

-hmmmm- Peragius just made a noise as he nodded

-Yes, I have also heard about the situation- a very familiar voice sounded behind me

I turned to see and it was Orsted who sat next to Alek

-I suppose they contacted you first, right?- Orsted asked Peragius.

-It's only natural, it's the Asura Kingdom after all- Peragius said with a shrug

I looked at them confused not knowing what was happening until Peragius spoke.

Noticing my confusion Peragius looked at me and spoke.

-Hitogami's apostle Nolan kidnapped a Miko girl and took her to the kingdom of Gardenia, we don't know why but it obviously has something to do with Hitogami- Peragius explained

-According to Nolan, the Miko's power is to summon very powerful magical beasts, and these have destroyed several villages in southern Asura- Orsted added.

-But I don't think that's the case, to begin with I just received some reports that 3 hooded men destroyed a village without mercy and left without saying anything- Orsted continued

Oh shit...

-But I guess we don't have to worry about them anymore, right?- Orsted said with a smile.

My girls and Peragius looked at me in confusion so I had to explain to them what happened obviously omitting the Atofe part.

As I told the story I could see Sylphie's expression growing sadder and sadder while Nananoshi and Roxy listened attentively.

-So that's why you're wearing that robe and you're barefoot....- Sylphie murmured with her face full of concern

-Yes... there are no clothes I like here hehe...- I murmured to lighten the mood

-It's certainly a relief that you've finished off our enemies but... it seems that they already had their own plans in mind- Roxy murmured.

-It was that guy Nolan...The Sword Goddess...and who was the last girl?- Nana asked

-I don't know...I didn't recognize her...I only knew that her name was Syria and she had pale blue hair- I explained.

My girls, Peragius and Alek showed no reaction but Orsted raised an eyebrow

-Syria...You're talking about Reida Re铆a's granddaughter- Orsted muttered

My girls and I looked at him in amazement and Peragius just nodded.

-although in other loops the person known as Syria never existed- Orsted explained

-it was simply the result of your actions in this world that led to Isolte Cruel to marry the soldier Doga- Orsted added

-That explains it...she was the only one who cooperated in the confession and in the end She regretted its actions...but even so the things she did, whether manipulated or not, i should have ended with her- I declared

Peragius and Orsted nodded while my girls looked at me seriously.

-In just a few days, Nolan made a mess in who knows how many places, and we don't even know if there are other apostles,If that Syria's confession was sincere then she was not an apostle, therefore there must be one out there in the shadows to finish the job- Nanahoshi theorized.

-It's true, besides the kingdom of Gardenia had prepared a magic circle to summon a person from another world, does that have something to do with it?- Alek asked suddenly

-Hitogami's actions at the moment seem very desperate, although we cannot doubt it- Orsted meditated

-Then we must look for the last apostle- I muttered

-Yes, and you and Alek will go to the kingdom of Gardenia to rescue that Miko, we must thwart Hitogami's plans as soon as possible-Orsted commanded

Alek and I accepted the mission

The truth is that the situation, far from ending, remains just as hot with the remnants of Nolan's shares and the last apostle.

-We must also go to the sacred land of the sword and talk to Reida Lia about what happened, if we don't, it could harm us- Peragius said and Orsted nodded.

-You and I will go to Asura and Alek and Rudeus will go to the sacred land of the sword and Gardenia- Orsted planned

-fuuu...very well with all this I decided, It's time to put work things aside and let Rudy rest - Sylphie said as she stood up from her chair and hugged me from behind.

Peragius could only sigh as did Orsted so we ended the meeting for the day.

..

-Rudy..so Kishirika gave you a third eye...- Roxy asked me as she sat on my lap

Right now we were back in the Chaos Breaker room for me to "rest" But it was actually to find out in more detail about my visit to Fort Necross.

-Yes, it's called the mana eye and I think you'll know what it's for by the name, right?- I said with a smile which caused a small laugh from Sylphie and a confused look from Roxy.

-Huh?...I guess?..- Roxy murmured

-Heh...the mana eye allows me to see all the mana in the world, which is a lot- I explained

Sylphie and Nana sat on the bed to listen to me.

I told them in more detail about my first and second visit to Fort Necross which only made them worried.

-You try so hard for us, don't you?- Sylphie murmured sadly.

-Yes, but I don't regret it if you're okay- I said firmly, which unfortunately made her sadder.

-I-I think I have some of your clothes stored here....- Sylphie murmured as she got out of bed.

-hah!....t-this...- Sylphie said in shock

Shit she found the shirt!!

With both hands Sylphie took the shirt completely soaked in blood and looked at me

Tears began to flow from her eyes and she began to cry.

-R-Rudy....you...w-why?!...why are you risking so much?!- she said to me while she lunged at me and hid her face in my chest to cry.

I could only stroke her head while she cried

-Rudy...these last few days we have been very worried about you and hearing that story of yours being on the verge of death..- Nana sighed while holding back her own tears

I looked at Roxy and she just had a weak smile as she stroked Sylphie's back.

-W-what am I going to do if I lose you again Rudy?!!- Sylphie sobbed in my chest

It took her a while to calm down as she promised to be more careful.

In the end I discovered that she had been very stressed by these last trips and this was her breaking point.

I made a promise to myself not to die, I must finish off Hitogami... so I can be at peace with my family.
