Chapter 421 - 371 : Buria Empire (2/2)
”I did my part, you should get Onyx to finish the job.”
Milkan uttered those words before vanishing into the darkness, leaving a pondering Leiu. The young man glanced at the silent Astrith then mumbled
'Heed my call! StarSpeed Leopard, Onyx!'
Just like with Milkan, another entity was summoned next to its master and companion. A black leopard with some bloody red lines on its body, its two eyes resembled two shining stars. When you look at the beast's eyes, you'll see the universe itself within, a wondrous and mysterious feeling will surge inside of you.
”Time is of the essence. I'm counting on you, Onyx.”
The leopard respectfully bowed to the knight while speaking with a deep and chilling voice
”I shan't disappoint you, Master.”

Some would say there is no such thing as coincidence in this world. The only thing is hitsuzen, Hitsuzen… A naturally fore-ordained event. A state which all other outcomes are impossible.
Maybe it was through a fluke, or perhaps the meddling of fate or the machination of time, whatever it was called, it managed to create a weak link, which may or may not reverse the tides and create new future paths. The meeting between a lowly, mortal demon and an esteemed prince, two who are completely different, in every sense of the word.

On that 'fated' day, Isadore Marfront and Taliya met…

'If I spoke about Reincarnation, would you think I'm crazy? If I spoke about past lives, would you believe me? Then what about eternal love? Ever-lasting Romance which many noble ladies dream about? Nonsense, is it?'
A man sat before a well-decorated grave and talked to it.
'They shunned me, exiled me, called me names but you know what? I didn't care for I knew I was right. Yes, I am but a mortal, a weak and fragile mortal but sometimes, a mortal can achieve things no other God could. Ah what I would give to see your smile again, to feel your touch and hear your sweet voice.'Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Tear tricked down his pale face, he leaned on the grave while thinking to himself
'I know… I know I failed you. I wanted to prove them wrong, I-I was too foolish and blinded but… I truly loved you. I caused your death and my punishment shall be death too.'
He retrieved a sharp dagger and brought closer to his neck before uttering those last words
'What I saw does not include us but I believe! I believe we'll meet again and at that time, I'll never let go of you.'
Then, without any hesitation, he slit his own throat. Blood gushed like a fountain from his cut neck yet the man didn't care, he leaned on the grave and closed his eyes, a sad smile on his pale face…
