Chapter 632 Lost since the Empire''s creation.
"Serious?" It was then that look through the window to see
the sun high up in the sky.
"That''s crazy." Brian rubbed his head before taking a seat and
looking at them with an inquisitive look on his face.
"What?" Cami and Tessie asked in unison.
"What decision did you guys take?" A confused
expression was written all over his face because wasn''t that the main reason they
were all here in the first ce.
"Oh…" Brian''s question brought their minds back to reality.
"After a lot of considerations, we finally decided to
apany you on your journey to find the gate out of this prison." Cami
announced and Tessie nodded in agreement.
"That''s nice to hear, thank you so much." ke embraced Cami
and Tessie.
"What time are we leaving?" Brian asked once the three were
done being all touchy.
ke turned to Cami and Tessie, expecting them to
protest since it sounded so sudden, but to his surprise, they also had the same
look on their faces.
''Well, it makes sense.'' ke said to himself as he
remembered that the Ash Corps no longer existed meaning Cami was currently
unemployed.
The same went for Tessie. With the vtile state of the empire,
almost all businesses were put on hold especially those of noble families. This
meant that the Winchester family''s logistics business was also on pause.
"Now?" ke asked as he rose to his feet.
"Alright…" The three agreed as they all rose to their feet
and came closer.
ke would have loved toment on how he didn''t need them
toe close for them to be teleported, but he chose to keep it to himself as
he waited for Ebony and Ivory to turn to their miniature form and hop on his
shoulders before warping them away.
The group found themselves in the corridor leading to the
Synder throne room. It was an impressive, grand passageway, designed to awe all
who entered.
Tall, ornate marble columns lined both sides and the stone walls were
adorned with rich tapestries depicting ancient battles and heroic legends, each
telling a story of the conquered Empire''s storied past. A plush red carpet,
embroidered with golden threads, stretched the length of the corridor, guiding
visitors toward the massive doors of the throne room.
"The atmosphere already feels suffocating, imagine what it would
have been like when Synder was still alive." Brian was in awe as this was the
first time any one of them except for ke had been to the capital''s pce.
"What about Damon? What happened to him?" Tessie remembered and asked as
they made their way to the throne room.
Due to being caught up in a lot of things, they had all
forgotten about Damon which made them feel bad that they were just
remembering him now.
What even made it worse was that Damon and his family were
the ones in the most danger since they were part of the leaders of the former
empire.
"I haven''t seen him, so I don''t actually know, but I''ll ask
The room was not only upied by The All-Father and terrifying
my Dad once we are in." ke replied as he pushed therge door open with no
difficulty.
On entering the throne room, Brian, Cami and Tessie felt
primal fear washed over their entire bodies almost causing their legs to lose
their strength, if not for ke who used telekinesis to hold them in ce.
The room was not only upied by The All-Father and terrifying
Battle Angels, but also by supreme killers who struck fear in the hearts of
many just by the mention of their names.
"Speaking of the devil." ke was surprised to see that
standing not too far from Cassius were Jaeger Nyx and Damon.
"Is there something I don''t know?" ke asked Cassius, n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
further dissolving the tension in the air— the tension in his friends.
''From the way Jaeger and Damon are standing quite close to
the throne, they didn''t look anything simr to when Frostborne and ckthorn
were here.''
''Wait a minute, where was Jaeger when Frostborne and
ckthorn were here?!'' ke was quite confused by the scene ying in front
of him.
ke''s thought process had been that if Cinder and Bryon had ended up dying in the battle, then it wasn''t surprising if Jaeger had joined him. So he didn''t think much about them, especially since he had a lot more fish to fry.
"ke meet Jaeger Nyx, who you already know as the councillor of the Synder Empire, but is also the descendant of a mole sent to infiltrate the higher-ups of the Synder Empire." Cassius said with a devious smirk that sent the group''s eyes wide.
"Say what now?" ke was stunned by the revtion.
"When the humans split into two sides, I knew it was only a matter of decades before one of Valerius'' believers rose and united them to form an empire. So I sent someone to assist in the said person''s rise and gain his trust." Cassius chuckled when he saw ke''s incredulous expression.
As the other 2nd group of humans were staunch believers of Valerius, it was certain that when the traitor had awakened from his forced slumber, he would meet the Emperor to reenact his ns.
With this master n of theirs Cassius and the Tigeria Empire were aware of all nsmunicated to the Synder Empire by Valerius including most of their tactics during the war.
''They didn''t stand a chance at all.'' ke felt admiration towards his Dad''s foresight and craftiness, but his friends couldn''t help but t shiver at the revtion.
''And I was hear thinking that we lost due tock of fire, not knowing that we lost from the start of the Empire''s creation!'' Cami couldn''t help but shake her head.
''This just proves that going against ancient entities like Dad is no different from suicide, but I guess I will worry about that when we are finally out of this prison.'' ke thought before walking forward.
"Wee, and thank you for your services." ke said with a sincere bow.
