Chapter 305 - 258 : A Clue (1/2)
”Ahhh! Hasn't it been a pleasurable little nap.”
The handsome youth who had dark bandages wrapped around his eyes and covered his eyes, stretched his limbs as he enjoyed the passing breeze and the warm weather that never changes.
The hill was as peaceful as before, with nothing but the tall tree filling one's view. As he breathed some fresh air and leaned on the tree, the tree gazed at the blue-clothed empress standing a few meters in front of him.
Her lips twitched when he uttered those last words but she didn't comment on that and regained her composed look. Although a long time has passed since their last meeting, the appearance of the tall-woman barely changed, apart from the lack of the arrogance that was rooted deep into her nature, she didn't change at all.
”Mhmm time do really change people... still immature though.”
With his chin resting on his hand, the youth assessed the Empress with a lazy look before he turned to look at the hanging moon in the night sky.
It illuminated this valley and made the starry sky even more beautiful, contrary to normal moons, this one was missing its right half, thus making it seem incomplete, nonetheless, it was still a breathtaking scene, worthy for the youth to pass a couple of hours staring only at the moon without doing anything else, even the Empress, who was waiting for him for who knows how long, was ignored.
”Just like that moon, a person without an origin is incomplete, however, the world moves forward and so should you. Instead of digging the past, why don't you create a proper origin for your future descendants?”
The woman remained unresponsive for some time before she replied
”I still wish to know about my origins and what happened before the Hour of Creation, I know it's just not some all-out war like most records said.”
The youth softly chuckled then added with a cold tone
”At what cost?”
”No matter the cost!”
Her answer was immediate as if she prepared herself since the beginning. However, the youth wasn't satisfied, he shook his head and mocked
”You are not worthy. None of the Region leaders are, not even the one residing above.”
The Empress frowned upon hearing this and said
”What about the Supreme Star Empress?”
Once the Star Empress was mentioned, the youth flinched and answered
”She... is worthy but she doesn't need to beg for the truth since she knows what happened.”
Upon hearing this, the tall woman seemed genuinely startled, she thought she heard it wrong but from the look the youth was giving her, she definitely didn't hear him wrong.
”How does she know? She's isn't older than the Hour of Creation.”
”I don't know and don't wanna know, you shouldn't poke your nose in the Star Region affairs too, there are eyes and ears everywhere. Just live peacefully, many people in the past yearned for what you have yet couldn't have it, not even when they became the most powerful of all. Little Empress, cherish what you have before it's gone.”
Unable to find the right words to retort, the Empress remained standing there in confusion. Her stubbornness forced her to stay here and insist until he continued telling her the rest of the story, even if it was bit by bit. She already waited two thousand years for him to wake up and if she goes back with nothing, all her efforts will be for naught.
”Hmm, if you promise to get lost, I'll give you a clue.”
