Relief

The Prince's expression froze for a moment, before he sighed deeply:

"It seems that you came here for more than simple greeting"

Raquela sighed:

"Indeed."

"What was bound to happen."

"Ended happening."

Lorenzo had his hand on his wooden katana:

"They, once again, reawakened."

He narrowed his eyes:

"Is it Kosem Vega?"

"Shahrazad Vega ?"

"…Or Linaella Vega?"

Raquela sighed deeply:

"No…But the appearance of someone absurd like Kosem Vega, should have been the first warning sign."

She narrowed her eyes:

"But since we estimated that you are much stronger and much more absurd than her."

"I only thought that the phenomena at the beginning of each Great Monarch Era repeated itself once again."

"After all, Tephania and Aeleis also made their name known around the same time."

Lorenzo had an intense light in his eyes:

"…So who…is it?"

Raquela sighed:

"You already know."

His eyes were narrowed:

"It's impossible and you know it."

Raquela felt a headache coming her way. She knew that it would be difficult news to annouce.

After all…The Shock when the identity of this Powerful Monarch was announced wasn't small.

There wasn't a single soul in the Imperial Family that wasn't surprised…

…But before anything else…Everyone thought off the Crown Prince.

The First Princess arrived here as fast as she could to see if he was alright.

'At least, the worst-case scenario didn't occur.'

She still remembered the dread she felt as she made her way here.

It was a dread and fear she couldn't share with anyone. A Burden, she had to carry alone.

Not even the Dukes, not even the knights, not even some Empresses, not even some Princes knew of this secret.

'It's quite difficult to accept.'

It was a closed secret that nearly no one was entitled to know.

And within it…Lied the Power of the Great Saharan Imperial Dynasty.

'Especially to him.'

Lorenza for the first time had his fist clenched.

And the secret, connected the Crown Prince with the Atleasian Emperor.

"This is…"

"Wasn't he supposed to be born a cripple?"

"Talentless, stupid and weak…"

"…Like was his father before him…"

Raquela leaned against his back, understanding his frustration. She wrapped her arms around his neck. Like she was enlacing a poor puppy.

Her scarlet mouth approached his ear:

"I know what that must feel like."

"Those feelings, there isn't a crown prince who haven't experienced them."

She gently, caressed his silky hair, tenderly, his blue hair intertwining with her slender hand.

Lorenzo looked down; his tone still calm:

"To think that after that time. I would feel such shame again."

"The horror of my birth."

"I will never forget it."

Raquela whispered once again in his ears:

"It's fine if you can't forget it, my dear."

"If you can't forget it, then use it."

She stroked his cheek gently:

"Those feelings, this wrath, this indignation in front of the eternal."

"Is what has brougth Saharos and his allies at the doors of the Vega Dynasty."

Lorenzo's green eyes, seemed to loose focus as if lost in the whisperings of the blond beauty. Her words enchanting him.

"Since then…Those feelings only continued to grow."

"And made the glory of our Dynasty."

She spoke softly, kindly, yet her words held ominous premonition:

"Do not let go of it. Never give it up"

She narrowed her eyes brimming with unbending conviction:

"And surely one day we shall surpass them."

He sighed, still a cold calm in his eyes:

"So it is him, after all…"

"Malé Vega…"

"How powerful did he become for him to be able to stand up to us like that?"

Raquela had a cold light in her eyes:

"I don't have a clear estimate."

"Even Aeleis and Tephania couldn't give a clear estimate."

Lorenzo responded:

"Even…Aeleis…?"

"She spoke only one word when she was asked by Imperial Father"

The Princess took a deep breath remembering the words of the First Sentence, back then. Her eyes contained deep complex emotions, as she uttered:

"Endless."

Lorenzo was immediately peeked by this world.

"Endless Power."

His face looked down, as his hair followed his movement, he had a wry smile:

"The same description…"

"…Every time."

His green vegetal eyes darkened deeply. As if a lively green yard, transformed into a savage bloody forest.

"…The Records also held the same description."

"…The Same Description as the 6 Before him."

Raquela sighed deeply:

"The Rosencranz family are quite famous for their investigative ability."

"This indeed the same description."

Lorenzo narrowed his eyes, intense ambition burning in his heart.

That realm…How long did they strive to attain it…

How long, how many manipulations, how many taboo techniques, how many endless efforts through the never ending cycle of reincarnation.

How many Dynasts consumed their life in the process…

….Just for a person of his talents to be born. Just so a person able to attain that realm would be bonr from their blood.

He smiled wryly.

And to think a monster that could be called a Monarch would appear from a seed of an Incapable and stupid man like the previous Emperor.

While he was still dreaming of reaching that level his whole life.

'He was stupid and talentless…We made sure of that."

How could he make any sense of what is happening….?

How could he not want to end his life right here and then…

The realization was powerful, sudden, and ruined all his plans.

He had built a sturdy and powerful foundation all over the Lower Primordial Realm. He worked diligently since he was sane enough to understand the meaning of work.

His Talent was peerless, his character was flawless and he had an exceptional aura.

For 24 years, he had worked tirelessly, met numerous challenges.

And even accumulated enough power to vie for the throne and even unite the Astaroth Continent.

But one news changed everything.

The sight of all his hopes and dreams crumbling before his eyes.

The sight of all he had worked for amount to nothing.

The sight of his impending failure.

Would have made numerous mad with outrage.

Yet, for him. This wasn't enough..

Not enough to affect him.

No…

Somehow…Deep in his very soul. He knew something like that was bound to happen.
