Ch.39 Plan In Motion(6)

In one of the guest quarters of the castle, a lone figure of a beautiful woman is sitting on her bed as she takes out a blue orb from her storage space.

Putting some of her mana into the orb, it starts to glow as she throws it on the floor in front of her. It shatters as a bright light starts to emit from it.

The light starts to form an image, an image of a handsome middle-aged man with crimson red hair and red eyes, he is wearing a golden armor with a design of the sun adorned throughout it.

He has a beard on his face and with the golden crown he is wearing and the royal aura he exudes, there is no question that.

The man is none other than, Atlas Solious the emperor of the "The Solious Emipre" and one of the saints of the current era.

The man, feared throughout the world for his skilled swordsmanship, which is often considered the peak of that field.

"Is there a matter of importance Ruri, my dear wife?"

He inquired as he looked at his wife sitting in front of him, from the looks in her eyes he could already guess that something bad had transpired.

"Yes, I indeed have a matter of importance to talk about."

Ruri said in a voice filled with concern, concern for what's to come in the future.

...

Looking at my husband in front of me, whose eyes turned serious after hearing my words, I give a sigh as I take out a copy of the map that Nexus held.

"Here, see this and you will understand."

I say to him as I put the map in front of the virtual image of him created by magic, a bright light shines as it copies the map.

Looking at his face which turns more serious and concerned as he looks at the map, I couldn't help but give a mental sigh.

Even someone as strong as him is worried, well it is quite understandable.

"This is quite the matter of concern."

He says as he rubs his head, looking at his face I can be sure that his mind must be working in overdrive currently.

"Yes, it is a headache-inducing topic, after all the unusual movement of three 'Mana Demi-god' ranked existence is a concern no matter where we go in this world."

I say my words as I wait for his reply.

"So, what does Nexus have to say about this matter."

He asks, about the thoughts of Nexus, well a valid question as both of them are the powerhouses of the empire.

"He is as worried as you and will most likely move with your order."

I give him the general view I have grasped from the conversation I had with him.

"Thought so, after all, he is a Lionheart."

He mutters as a smile covers his face, after all, who hasn't heard about the loyalty of the Lionheart, one of the founders of the empire.

"Though, if the matters concern his family..."

I add the matter he shouldn't forget when talking about Nexus after all for a Lionheart family comes before everything.

"I guess, hope nothing happens that causes him to go berserk."

He says in a serious voice but there is a smile on his face, and also a smile on our face.

After all, how couldn't we know about his habits, we have been friends for over 700 years.

"I will look into this more and ready the continent for the meeting that will be held."

After making up his thoughts he says to me as he strokes his beard, an old habit of his.

"Hmm, do you want me to do something currently, if you want I can return currently and get back on my duty."

I ask him after all my job is one of the greatest importance in the empire, one that can affect its stability.

"No need for now, plus you are taking a vacation now, so enjoy it and don't worry about this problem for now. I can handle this much. After all in the worst condition Nexus and I could just kill the rulers, the continent may be destroyed, but you and Alice should be able to save all the citizens of the empire. HAHAHA."

He says in a boasting voice, as he laughs most likely to elevate my worries, after all, he knows how much of a worrywart I can be in this kind of situation.

"Please don't say such things."

I mutter with a small sigh, after all even if that may be the truth the aftermath will be difficult to handle.

"I know, but don't worry. The Empire has lasted for millions of years, it will not fall under my regime. Plus we as Ruby's parents have a duty to leave a beautiful empire for her to inherit."

"I guess you are right,"

I give him a positive reply as I relax a little, after all, there is no use doing needless worrying.

"Plus, there is no way I am dying before holding my grandkids, if I remember correctly she has a good relationship with Neo, what do you think about them being together."

He asks me as he has a broad smile on his face, probably after imagining about his grandchildren.

"Well, I am with you on them having a relationship, but since they are still young it is a matter that needs to be discussed in the future and not now."

I give him the reply he wanted to hear and he nods his head, we both stare at each other as a smile adorns our faces.

"Love you."

"Love you too."

After saying some words of love the call ends, and I am left alone in the room, letting my body fall on the comfy bed I look at the ceiling.

"Hmm, what should I do."

I mutter to myself, suddenly the talk I had with my sister flashes through my mind, and remembering her reaction and hearing her words a smile adorns my face.

"Hmm, Neo's plans really worked. I guess I should also take that tactic."

I say as I remember the plan that he had given me, a plan that only I can fulfill. The contents of it are simple, break someone through pure terror and then without giving them the chance to get used to it tell them the sweetest words.

This will most of the time break their psyche, he said and it did work.

However, I don't think it would have normally worked on Agni.. the only reason it worked was that I was the one doing it and this matter was related to love.

"Didn't he say to do the same to Vayu?"

I remember the other task he has given me, I guess this will be a good relaxing activity.

"Let's have some fun."

With those words, I leave the room and walk toward where I sense Vayu's mana from. I wonder how much will I have to do to give him absolute terror.

Plus this can be considered a kind of punishment for them, after all, they loved each other even before Nexus met Alice.

I wonder how much longer it would have taken them if no one had interfered.
