≪ Fea Country capital, Zodia
Kingdom. ≫
With the holy-colored moon out shining on the Eastern Kingdom in the Constellation Continent. A young princess walking down a shadowy-colored hallway, his steps echoed the empty hall on the baby blue diamond tiles. Behind her was a maid in her twenties and a male knight in his mid-thirties, following this young princess.
"My Princess, are you sure you wish to attend this banquet?" Softly asked the maid.
The young princess stopped and turned her gaze revealing her golden starry eyes "Wouldn't it be wrong to sully myself from the other nobles and merchants?" The princess turned her head forward and stepped off. "I find this a rare opportunity as the Star
God Candidate, wouldn't you say, April?"
The maid named April happily nodded as they approached a pair of silver double doors. On them was the golden insignia of a star with an eye engraved on the door, it was
the banquet room. Two guards lowered their heads opening the door as one of them announced the Princess.
"Princess Staria Zodia of the Zodia Family." The princess formally bowed her head. 'If I need information this is how I get. The truth is I've been reincarnated as a princess
in my favorite Novel, "Heaven Does Not Claim". When I heard my favorite Author
died cried my eyes out. I wonder if he was single or my age but it was too late
before his in-person meeting…' Staria lifted her head took a step forward and
proceeded from there. The eyes of nobles and royalty eyes were now on her. 'The
only reason why I can act like the Princess was because of me reading Chapter 18 when they first introduced Staria Zodia. Staria is a genius astrologist with
a future of journeying through the stars. Her mother was a musician-composer of
the Kingdom from the village of Thena outside the country of Fea.'
Staria approached her family and took a knee with him paying her respects to him.
"Apologies for the late appearance, I thought this approach was exceedingly effective." Staria looked back as the nobles and royalists from far and wide whispered to each other. Staria's father, Tarus Zodia, a tall broad man with a nice fair complexion hinted at a smile on his face. "You kept your guest waiting. That's not good for your
reputation." Staria kept her head lowered as she could feel the pressure of Tarus's aura. It may be calm but even he had the power of subjugation.
"F-Forgive me, Father, it won't happen again." William showed no signs of trembling from the frightful aura, he lifted his head and spoke once more. "This may be my mistake but you may fail to see the results."
Tarus gazeddown at his daughter and noticed that gaze, that gaze that showed nothing but an ending of where she prevailed. Taurus then asked sternly, "And what would that be?"
Staria's lips curled up into a strange smirk, "I don't want to spoil the fun."
'To find Xion Trinity, I must find a way to get the Zodia Empire to ally with the Luminous
Country. From what the Transcenders told me, Xion is currently with the Midnight Lore Organization.'
Staria — No the true soul that was transmigrated into Staria's body was a 23-year-old woman named Annabelle Jackson, thought carefully about how to play this out.
As the banquet went on with such an extraordinary evening, the closing ended with a few words of Emperor Tarus giving his speech about the war and how they wouldn't
be participating in the war.
Staria's eyes widen, her pupils dilated from the shock of his words. Staria quickly hurried out of the banquet hall, where she had immediately turned the corner down the
shadowy-colored hallway. Clenching the fabric of her emerald green dress, she recollected herself. 'Of course, this was bound to happen. The Zodia family is a pacifist who cares about the Constellation Continent only.'
She shook her head, properly fixing herself as she walked to her room, the long door that stood before her was covered in shadows of the night. Raising her hand, the shadow
immediately vanished into the darkness. "It had to be an assassin," she muttered. Opening the long door before her she noticed the room extremely changed — more like the showing of a gateway to a strange area.
"What is this…?"
She quickly noticed a Red and Black haired male with a group of strange men and women fighting a lost soul, the creatures of humanity's greed.
The sound of the claws swiftly clanging against, Xion's blade. Xion with his sword skills at their peak, was the reason he was still alive. A vertical arc slash, a downward
slash, a horizontal slash, and more sword strikes continued, from Staria's point of view it was like a monster holding back so much for killing everything in sight.
Stepping through the portal, she did not realize that the door disappeared in an
instant. Was it a personal experience to meet Xion Trinity, the last of the devourers and members of the dragon family? The sound of huge explosions could be heard in the area she noticed the city block was destroyed by Xion's strength, her first witness to the fight against the Lost Soul, to think it was
putting up more of a fight against him showed that he still needed time to
adjust to the Ascent's power or…
Slash!
Staria looked closer seeing Yin strike the horrid creature with his hand with a vertical slash as the beast let out a horrid shriek.
Xion immediately appeared from below it swinging the broken blade upwards with a
flowing motion. "Art: Silent Slash." He called it. The horrid creature met its demise from its opponent. "Pathetic. I was hoping to use the time abilities on you." His cold gaze struck fear into her, she realized that she had
transmigrated three years after Xion meaning he'd gone through his suffering stage and now has been like this ever since.
Approaching the group, something inside her tingled in her head. As if she sensed another Transmigrator here. All her five senses including her sixth pointed to Xion.
"Who are you?"
She gasps noticing Xion immediately in front of her, examining her appearance. His
crimson cold eyes gazed into her golden eyes remained. She lift her dress up slightly, putting her left leg behind her right and bowed slightly properly greeting the last member of the Trinity Family. "Uhm… H-Hello. My name is Ana—Staria Zodia. I'm the third princess of the Constellation Continent and the Star God Candidate."
The group processed the greeting, "To think that the Star God Candidate would be here." The young woman said dressed in? a civil maiden attire like that of a bookworm. She
brushed the caramel color. "What do you think, Armis?" she turned her gaze to
the tall broad man clad in his formal suit and cleric book in his right hand.
"I didn't sense her presence, she might be extremely strong. She may be stronger than
you, Maria." Armis joked looking back at the woman named Maria with his arms
folded across his chest.
Maria pouted turning to their leader who remained silent. "Is something wrong, dear Crimson?" Asked Maria, who gazed at Xion's cold expression. "It's nothing, I'm surprised," Xion responded backing up from Staria, the aura of malice dissipating from him. Sheathing the blade back into its sheathe located on his right hip.
"Let's head back, we have to report in." Staria gulped, her body's instinct told her to run when she felt his malice seeping out of him. "And bring her with us.' The two
nodded watching Xion Trinity step away, heading back to what appeappeared be a
golden dome surrounding the City of Chanda.
"Just… Just what on earth has he been through." Unknowing to her or the others, Xion Trinity grew a twisted grin on his face.
