5.1. Falsification to Protect

"To have survived the calamity, then proceeding to remain hidden despite the search efforts of the empire– I look forward to meeting him."

Wilson Equestria stared off to the city beyond the carriage window. His blonde-gold hair blazing under the light of dusk, bright ruby eyes sparkled like a jewel.

The quiet hum of the engine accompanying the slow passing of the busy streets. Many bystanders merely stopped and stared before moving on, not realizing that the disguised carriage accommodated few of the empire's most influential people.

Not flaunting their presence was appropriate for the occasion. Had they decided to make their entrance a grand scene, their travel time would've taken much, much longer.

"But I wonder why I feel like tearing him from limb to limb.." Wilson's smile cracked a little.

Carol Equestira rolled her eyes. "What other reason would there be? You dote on Evelyn so much, you dare not to see her be taken away by another guy no?"

Carol, the first princess, Wilson's younger step-sister had blonde-gold hair. Her eyes however were blu-ish.

Meanwhile, Quilin Roux, the daughter of Duke Roux chuckled.

Silvery-blue hair, a pair of bright snowy coloured eyes. She locked eyes with Wilson showing a winsome smile.

"How doting of you sister, dear," she remarked.

He rolled his eyes.

Carol folded her arms and continued, "To begin with, his reappearance is as much of an anomaly as is the current situation between our two younger brothers."

"Mnn.. it would seem."

Wilson's position as the next emperor of the throne could almost be said as absolute given the current circumstances. With so many factions in favor of his ruling, those behind him in line would have a difficult time trying to overrule him.

Withal, that also meant that his head was all that more valuable in such strenuous times. Perhaps it was for this reason that his two brothers were rash to cooperate with the demons.

Fortunately, the youngest, fourth brother had no interest in taking the throne much like Evelyn herself. He was still at a doe age of 13.

"Now, let's not concern ourselves with such matters," Quilin clapped her hands, "We came to enjoy ourselves had we not?"

"How optimistic. I wish my husband were here," Carol complained.

Married to the ruling-prince of Roze Principality, he was unable to take the time off with her as he had a mountain of duties to attend to.

"Carol, he would've come if his schedule permitted," Wilson reminded.

"I know as much," Carol grunted.

"Dear, how is father-in-law and mother-in-law? Will they be attending?"

"They will."

"I wish to meet them again to express my regards," Quilin recalled the last time she met with them.

"The chance will present itself. I'm sure they would like to talk to you too," Wilson assured.

Quilin nodded with a composed smile.

Carol cursed under her breath, seeing the two acting lovey-dovey before her. Oh how she wished her husband would've prioritized her instead of work. This was a once in a life-time opportunity for them after all.

"I wonder why my sister chose a demon of all people.. Well, I'll see soon," Carol muttered.

Gleaming under the beautiful twilight skies, they reached Riestallia hospital.

Titania lowered her head, Nearl knelt on the ground with her head casted down. The rest of the students and instructors of Eluive's Prestigious Academy had their heads lowered.

"I apologize sincerely for my lack of foresight. Please forgive my blunder," Titania, the princess of the elven Kingdom of Eluive apologized in utmost sincerity.

Sequencee was hard pressed for some way to resolve this situation.

It had been a few hours since he woke up. It didn't come as much of a surprise that Evelyn and Aaron saw his horns out in the open. Sequencee hadn't realized that his real identity had been revealed to more people than just the two of them.

"In the first place, I was the one who suggested the idea," Sequencee said.

'Yeah, it was a rash decision.'

There were so many options to solve the problem, yet he just had to choose a duel to settle the matter.

'I need to think through things less emotionally next time.'

"The fault is mine for not contacting Her Highness when it would've been just as effective," Titania straightened her back.

"It's fine.."

"Though, it nags me to ask, you and Her Highness.." Titania was curious. The relationship between him and Her Imperial Highness.

"What?"

"No. It was impolite of me to ask that. Sequencee, should you need anything from me, let me know. We owe you a favor," Titania decided to leave it up in the air. She performed a courteous bow.

"About Lancet.. after the battle, what happened to him?"

"He is currently hospitalized. We shall be visiting him subsequently."

Sequencee nodded, "Alright. If I can think of anything, I'll let you know."

"I pray that you recover well."

Titania's words marked the end of the apology. The entire parade of Eluive entourages left. Sequencee dropped back onto his bed and heaved a sigh.

"This is problematic."

"Forgive my oversight, Your Highness."

"Um, no. It's not your fault Iona. I wasn't strong enough to handle him, and you were busy dealing with the demons.. speaking of which, how did it go?"

Iona Egress. Succubus, maid, assassin, demon general. These were the titles one would regard her with should they learn of her truth abilities. Dark red hair and a pair of silver-gray irises. As beautiful as she was a succubus, she exuded an air of cold repulsion.

"You need not concern yourself with these matters, Your Highness."

Sequencee decided not to talk about it any further.

"How is Schwii?"

"I've informed her about the matter."

"She's not responding to my calls though."

Not that she wasn't responding to his calls, rather, she was giving short evasive answers that seem to mask her true feelings regarding the accident. And because of it, Sequencee's mood had been on edge.

"I believe she isn't ignoring it on purpose. Please allow her some time to resolve her emotions," Iona lowered her head.

"Haah.. seriously.."

Was Schwii mad at him for being injured? Mad at him for failing to keep their promise? Mad at him for some random reason he couldn't justify? Sequencee really wanted to smash his head into the table.

"They're here."

"Hm?"

BAM! The room door opened with a slam.

"Sequencee!" Risa exclaimed.

"You're safe. Thank God," Shiro loosened a breath.

Risa Tatsuki and Shiro Tatsuki, the two siblings summoned to this world as heroes to save the empire from an unknown future.

Standing behind them was a girl with auburn hair and a pair of crimson eyes. Further behind was a girl with verdant hair with a pair of heterochromic eyes, one aureate the other red.

Schwii Arch and Leticia Estia respectively.

"Do you want cake? We brought cake." Risa dropped the box on top of the shelf right beside Sequencee's bed.

"Well, I haven't eaten anything since just now so.."

"Good. Schwii, Leticia, come here," Risa beckoned.

"Huh?" Leticia hesitated.

Schwii simply sighed. "Sequencee, it would be stupid of me to say something along the lines of 'please take care of yourself better', but I would like to let you know how concerned I was when I heard that you were injured."

"Sorry."

Schwii walked up to the box and pulled the ribbon. Revealed underneath the box was a small cake with the words 'get well' painted on the top with frosting.

"How nice of you," Sequencee said with a wryly smile.

"We got it from Madeleine Cake House," Schwii said as she took the wooden spoon and scooped up a small bit. Turning to Sequencee with the sample raised, she said, "Open your mouth."

Sequencee obey without question.

Schwii chucked the cake down his throat harshly, causing him to choke.

Swallowing the cake, he yelped. "What the.. hell is that about?!"

"Nothing," Schwii spooned another sample of cake. "Open your mouth."

"Don't do that again."

"I won't."

Rolling his eyes, Sequencee opened his mouth one more time. Schwii fed him properly this attempt. In all honesty, Sequencee felt that the green tea cake tasted amazing.

"Leticia," Schwii left the side of the bed.

"Huh?"

"We'll be waiting outside. Just tell us once you're done with what you want to say," grasping both Leticia's hands, Schwii placed the spoon between her fingers.

"A-Alright.."

"Let's go," Shiro said, holding Risa's shoulders.

"Un."

Iona nodded and walked out also.

With Sequencee and Leticia left alone in the room with a cake, the door shut.

Yippee! I'm back from haitus!

Thanks for waiting and enjoy volume 5!
