Tell me it's a lie.

"..... Our family is actually supposed to be in place of king Saz's." Jade said, waiting for some reaction.

"You mean like... the royal family?" Selina asked, looking confused.

"Dad!!" Racle shouted, startling even Jade. "Are you gonna tell us or just keep beating around the bush."

"Racle, that's the truth." Rhen confirmed.

"Mom, Are you for real?" Selina asked. "How's that even possible?"

"It's a painfully long story Selina, a painful one." Jade commented in a very sad tone and started telling Racle and Selina everything that happened.

**Visgard**

"This is our best chance to come up with a plan." Avon said to the vice president in his office.

"Yes but what plan could we think of if our problem is coming from space?" The VP replied.

"That's true but if we think of this objectively. A spaceship can only carry one to seven people. You think the maniac up there got a hold of the runes of the starship Visgard built back then?" Avon asked.

"I doubt that. That was hundreds of years ago, the runes would have been destroyed by now."

"What if it's true, it's not like anything makes sense again. That ship could contain hundred humans. If it were to be occupied by the skimals it would probably hold twenty or less. In other words if the maniac keeps attacking he will have no choice but to keep reaching out to those planets closer to earth." Avon assumed.

"So what's your point?" The VP asked.

"My point is; there's probably a way to reach the ship from those planets." Avon replied boldly.

"(Sighs) stop overthinking things, President Avon. There are about eight other planets plus the dwarf planets orbiting the sun which Jade would have to explore in order to find an uncertain route to get to an uncertain ship."

"Come on Mr Joe. We could at least try checking that out." Avon said persuasively.

"You really think of the craziest ideas, you know?" Joe stood to leave. "I'll inform Mr Billy to pass your message to Jade."

"Yes!!"

"It's gonna be up to him to decide." Joe said and left.

"Tell me it's a lie, dad. These are all made stories, right?" Selina said with tears dropping from her eyes.

"Selina you have to calm down, there's no reason for you to shed tears." Rhen tried to console.

"How can I calm down while someone else are sitting on our position, enjoying my privileges and powers?" Selina asked.

"Dad, you are saying Guriel and Yeln are our cousins but no one knows except from we, Mr Mark, Dr Bryan, Mrs Lillian and vice president Joe. You are saying we and the royal family are one family and we are being substituted." Racle summarized. "If I'm not going to use my ability the way I want why have it then?"

"We could think of somethi...."

"Dad!" Selina shouted. "We can't have you deciding our lives for us so please stop."

"Dad, I know I promise not to act rashly but I won't sit here forever and watch someone else take my position and throw orders at me." Racle stated with anger.

"I'm sorry I can't think of a solution to this problem without causing any trouble so whatever you plan on doing, just don't cause any internal crisis." Jade said, turning to Selina. "Especially you Selina, you might lose your powers in doing so."

"Selina, Racle. We have a major problem to solve, let's just deal with it first before you do anything rash, please." Rhen said softly. "You can visit Mr Mark to provide you with something else to use in training. I can't have you sucking out your life force."

"Tsk! What am I supposed to tell people if they asked." Racle asked.

"(Sighs) Racle, you're a prince. You actually don't need training to improve your skills. Haven't you thought about it, you never trained seriously but you defeated your sister who has always been doing so." Jade said, putting his hands on Racle's shoulder. "Your powers are meant to save people during extremely bad situations."

"Are you saying I should stop training?" Racle asked.

"If that's gonna help you live long." Jade replied.

"I'll stop but... I'm definitely going to regain my destiny. I'm sorry I won't follow your footsteps dad." Racle informed as he walked out of the house.

"Mum, how am I supposed to act around them now, it's definitely not going to be the same." Selina asked.

Rhen embraced Selina in her arms."Just try and act as usual, with time you'd get over it."

After consoling Selina, she left the room to hers.

"I wish Racle was as special as you are." Rhen commented sadly.

"Maybe I should have married from Razeki clan, right?" Jade asked.

"You're kidding me, right?" Rhen replied.

"Or maybe I should marry a second wife."

"Jade! That's not funny."

"Come on I'm just joking. The atmosphere was just too tense, you know." Jade said jokingly.

The next day, when Jade met with the students at the open field, he told them Racle won't be able to train due to health issues.

Selina had to continue with them to not create suspicion.

The following week Mark and Dr Bryan finished creating the ammunition and they were ready for use.

With the mk-19 being used by the army some skimals became extremely easy to kill with one shot.

As discussed, twenty five percent of the ammunition were sold out to Maneki and Razeki village while they'd have to make the ammos themselves.

At the king's palace, Jade was summoned.

"Thanks for coming. President Avon asked me to pass a message to you." Billy started. "He assumes there's a starship in space that could contain about twenty or less skimals and it is being controlled by a maniac. He assumes that if his first assumption is right then there should be a way connecting other planets to the ship."

"So everything is based on assumption? First off If I'm not mistaken, do you mean the first and only starship made hundreds of years ago?" Jade asked.

"Yup, that's right." Billy answered.

"Was it impenetrable by sun? I mean why will such still exist."

"Who knows, I'm only passing a message." Billy stated, shrugging slightly.

"If you're saying you want me to start teleporting from one planet to another searching for an assumed road or means to go to an assumed starship that would have been destroyed years ago..... Seriously! Do you even think? You do know going to other planets multiple times is at the expense of my life force." Jade said, turning to Saz. "Can you please not summon me here again on such matter?"

"Jade, we are all trying to save the world here. What is going on right now doesn't even make sense, we should stop expecting every of our plans to make sense...." Saz said, hitting his fist on his chair he continued. "... it's your job to protect the world from threat, remember, so stop acting like it's none of your business."

"Who said it's my job to protect the world? I can do whatever I want so do what you can and don't just sit there ordering me around." Jade said angrily.

"Jade!" Billy shouted. "You do know you are talking to the king, right?"

"Leave me to protect my family and do the same to yours. Whatsoever is going on up there will sooner or later come down." Jade said and walked out of the palace.

"Billy, call a meeting with the rest of the pillars. I can't let that manner slide. I'm gonna punish him." Saz ordered, glaring at Jade as he walked out of the palace.

"Punish him? How?"
