Plan on Everything

A/N: I just notice, we hit and passed 50 collection! :) To commemorate the achieve we got, here's an extra chap! Enjoy!

"Your Imperial Majesty, what do you mean by sharing us among the other Kings?!" Dion blurted out.

Dion was currently alone with the Emperor in the throne hall.

It's been a day since the banquet ended and two days since the group was summoned here on Deimos.

Dion wanted to talk to Venantius about the topic of sharing him and his classmates among the Kings in the West, but he got no chance to do so as Venantius was always talking to the Kings of each Kingdoms.

So, now that everything was okay, Dion took this chance to discuss this topic with the Emperor.

Venantius take a deep breath before he answers Dion.

"As you heard yesterday, I plan to divide you and the other Heroes to the other Kingdoms on the West." Venantius.

"Why? Why do you plan to do that?!" Dion.

"I don't want to tell you this, but I think I got no other choice." Venantius take a deep breath again before standing up. Then he signaled Dion to follow him.

Dion was no plan to follow Venantius, but curiosity took that down.

Dion follows Venantius through the door behind the throne hall. And after he opened the door, what was exposed to him was a small and long passageway that was lit by the torches that were placed on the side.

"Follow me, Dion..." Venantius said without looking back at Dion. He is currently halfway through the passageway.

Dion gulped down a whole bunch of saliva before continuing to follow Venantius.

And after a few minutes of walking, Dion saw a door at the end of the passageway. It is currently opened, a sign that Venantius goes through there.

When he walked through that door, what he saw was a small room, no, a small library that was filled with books.

The room had a book shelf, and there was one small study table and chair. On the top of the table was a large painting of two men.

The painting has a dark background while the two men were in the center, one was holding a staff, and the other were holding a sword that was like a black katana.

On the other hand of the men were a couple of heads of humans, and the other was holding a somewhat a gold, jewelry, rare gemstones, and some expensive and luxurious textile.

Around the two men were all red Dion assumed that it was blood.

Dion was intimidated at the sight of the painting. And not only that, the ambiance of this room was quite depressing.

Dion couldn't utter a single word and stay silent until Venantius broke the silence that was enveloping the room.

"In this room is where my grandfather spent his remaining days. In this room, also I saw the diary, which contains the ritual summoning of Heroes.

And not only that, but this room also was a place where all the records of the Empire for the past century, for the past one hundred years stored."

Dion remained silent and waited for Venantius to continue.

"I accidentally found out about this place when I was a child. I and Nepotia were playing hide and seek. My father didn't know that I uncovered this place as I held it a secret and did this as my hiding spot.

Back then, I didn't know the true value of this place as I was only a little child back then. The only thing was to play and tease the people around me.

But when I became 15 years old, that's when I realized that this place was the most important place in the Empire.

In that year, also I found out about the Hero ritual summoning and the tale of the first summoned Heroes."

The ears of Dion perked up when he heard the last sentence Venantius spoke. 'The first summoned Heroes?' Dion thought internally.

"The first summoning ritual happened one hundred years ago when my grandfather was still alive. Like me, he was also cornered by the Demons and had no more conceivable idea on how to counter the onslaught of the Demons.

So, he orders to perform the summoning rituals with the help of the Elementalist to summon the Heroes from the other world and ask them to help him with the fight against the Demons.

And like you and the others, they are also from what you called the Earth." Venantius.

Dion crosses his arms and thinks carefully. 'I don't know if the flow of time here were the same with Earth, but if it is, then, one hundred years ago, before we were summoned here, the year was 2022, so one hundred years, meaning it was 1915 when the first summoning ritual happened.' Dion thought.

"The moment they were summoned here, they agreed to help my grandfather in the fight against the Demons,

But after years and years of fighting, the two of them begin to get stronger and powerful to the point where my grandfather cannot handle them anymore.

Back then, there was no one to stop the two powerful Heroes to do all the things they wanted to do.

Until what my grandfather feared had happened. The two Heroes sided with the Demons, and the Heroes tried to usurp and overthrow my grandfather's rule over the Empire for them to take the Empire among themselves.

At that moment, the Empire's military force was halved between the war with the Demons and to stop the two rampaging Heroes.

After six months of fighting between the two Heroes and my grandfather's army, for some unknown reasons, the two Heroes suddenly become weak, and my grandfather took that chance to deal the mortal wound to the two Heroes.

After that event, my grandfather spends his life rebuilding the Empire that turns into ruins and battling the Demons.

And the remaining days he spends here. All that transpired and occurred one hundred years ago were all recorded and written here, on each book that was placed on the shelf.

Even the picture of the two Heroes." Venantius said, then he pointed at the painting that was hanging on the wall.

Dion looked at the painting. Although the painting was a bit faded due to time, he could still clearly see the clothes of the two. Although he could not think where he saw that kind of clothing, Dion knows that it was once used as clothing on Earth.

"And to answer your question, why would I going to share you and your companions among the Western Kingdoms. It is to counter if something like this were to happen.

If some of the Heroes were going to be like the first summoned Heroes, we have someone to count on, to stop and keep them in check.

Also, one of the reasons was to avoid the rivalry between the Original Mana resources."

Dion ponders a little bit more when Venantius finish speaking. He grew up in an environment where snakes, dragons, and tigers were lurking everywhere.

His father was a politician, and he saw how humans could become greedy as much as they like. They would do anything to achieve their goals because his father was like them. They could go to greater lengths to bet riches and power.

"But I do believe that the Demons have something to do with the actions of the first summoned Heroes. The Demons corrupt the minds of the Heroes to betray my grandfather's trust and break him and the Empire that our ancestors build.

And as long as the Demons were existing here on Deimos, the evil would also remain on everybody.

So, please... Hero... Help us to eradicate and exterminate the root of all evil here on Deimos and bring justice to every human that laid their lives for the sake of a better future." Venantius.

All the doubts and overthinking about the situation all lifted away when Dion heard what Venantius all said.

"You have nothing to worry about. I swear on my name that I would exterminate the evil here in your world. As well on Earth." Dion said, but the last words were in a low tone.

"So? How's the man-to-man talked between the young Hero and you?" Nepotia.

It's been an hour since Dion and Venantius talked.

"Well... I'm sure it is okay. The doubts he is all gotten away. I'm about that." Venantius said, then he took a sip of the wine he had. "All of them were going to die for me to get what I want. And I'm sure that this time, I could surely take that. The Cup of Immortality and the Elixir of Life." Venantius added, then he played with the wine glass in his hands.

"Surely you could. After that, we could start the plan on the conquest." Nepotia.

"Oh... I almost forgot the goods were all here." Nepotia clapped his hands, then the door wide opened, and a lot of women with large breasts came in.

The moment they came in, one by one, they started to strip each cloth until they were fully naked. Venantius looked at them with lustful eyes.

"Then, enjoy the meal, Your Imperial Majesty," Nepotia said, then he came out of the room and closed it.

After that, only a yelp and moan of women could be heard in the room.
