41 A bad prophecy? (2/2)
”I don't think Seria would do that if she thought, the destruction would be so big. We should still consider evacuating as much of the north as we can around the City of Seria. Just in case everything goes well.” -Me
”We should evacuate the north, just in case everything goes well....” Ireth whispers to herself.
”Maybe we can stop the summoning?” Nicosar asks hopefully.
I shrug my shoulders. ”Maybe, but Seria was pretty sure, I wouldn't manage it. At least we still have a few years to put our stuff in order.” I straighten my suit.
”How long exactly?” Ireth asks.
”At least three years if I interpret the newest readings correctly. In five years the summoning should be done for sure. It's hard to tell without any data directly from the source.” -Me
”So we will have three to five years. At least that's enough time to prepare.” Arthur talks to himself.
”I will have my project finished in three years too. It will be a close call, but in three years we will have a weapon which is able to break the shield. So it will be nice if you could plan an offensive for that time Arthur.” -Me
”Hoh, breaking the shield? Would you explain that.” -Arthur
”I would rather not. I have it sealed up inside my facility and all my employees took a magical oath to keep the secret. It's not that I don't trust anyone of you, but it's better if everything is uncovered at the last moment. I want to keep this secret because the Meltheims have already proven that they are capable of setting up disturbances for us. Even though they are hiding behind a shield.” I jump out of the throne.
”If you want to make it a surprise that badly, then I hope it will be a really good surprise.” -Arthur
”Don't worry, I think it will be quite a show.” I grin at Arthur. ”I will now go and read a good book, I have found a pretty smart author.”
”No you can't! You need to come with me.” Celes suddenly grabs my arm and pulls me off.
”What, where are we going?” -Me
”Surprise!”
Celes leads me outside the palace, where Rose is waiting with the car. But no matter how often I ask, she won't answer my questions.
Minutes later, we stop on the Cygnus property and I am led inside. After a few corners, we arrive at a somewhat big room, where a few familiar faces shoot confetti at me. The whole room is styled out for a party.
”Congratulations on becoming king!” Celes gives me a box of chocolate. Oohhohoho.... I could make a habit out of becoming king.
The Cygnus siblings, Tanja, Gabriel, Iris, Sven and Sandra congratulate me too. Everyone of the special class has paid a visit.
Everyone is giving me chocolate and congratulating me? Has Celes told them about my weak point?
”They all wanted to get on your good side, after they saw the coronation.” Celes whispers to me.
”Hey, Hey, Angrod can you teach me that soul-thing of yours. I have to learn it! You can still interrogate the bastard after you killed him! Can you? I have to learn that!” Tanja looks at me with sparkling eyes.
”Huh, maybe I will teach you the training basics during class, but I takes a lot of time to master it.” I answer.
”Really? Yay! You know, I always hated that torture stuff to get information! All the blood and body-parts, it's too dirty in my opinion. If I could learn that, everything would be much cleaner!” Tanja nods to herself while talking aloud.
What the hell did her parents teach to her!?
I start to eat chocolate, while I have a nice conversation with the others. It's nice that my coronation didn't change all that much in our relationship. At least I hope that's the case.
