Chapter 420 - [Bonus chapter]The Four Sacred Beasts New Masters (2)(unedited) (1/2)
Back at the palace, the ȧduŀts had gathered together in one of the big reception rooms in the palace. The children were told to be at their rooms. But they insisted on staying at the twin's room until they wake up.
The door opened and the couple Satiana and Jack came rushing in with an anxious expression.
”We have heard of what happened.” Satiana said with a concerned tone. ”How are the imperial children?”
”We let our son Henry join the other children.” Jack said. ”I am sure that he is also worried for his cousins.”
”Thank you for your concern, Satiana and Jack.” Alicia welcomed them with a hug. ”The children are fine, thank goodness.”
”They are brave young children, so I will not worry to much about them.” Jack smirked. ”They got their bravery from their parents.”
”Thank you for the compliment and welcome back.” Regaleon also welcomed the couple with a hugged. ”You have come at a bad timing, but I am happy that you are here.”
”We are sorry for being late as such a crucial hour.” Satiana apologized.
”What are your initial findings on this abduction?” Jack asked. ”Maybe I can be of help.”
”William and Dimitri are still conducting the preliminary investigation.” Regaleon said. ”But maybe you can help me with this.” He gave a piece of paper to Jack.
Jack inspected the paper with full focus. He had his eyebrows squinted until his face gave out a bright look.
”I know these symbols.” Jack said. ”You can see these symbols from Xing foreigners. I remember seeing some of these symbols written on their documents and some are on their clothes.”
”So those men are from Xing country.” Regaleon had his face darkened. ”They will pay for what they have done in our own country, more importantly to my children.”
”Let us wait for William and Dimitri's initial findings first.” Alicia calmed her husband who was visibly boiling in anger from within. ”We would not want to destroy our diplomatic relations based on little evidence.”
”Her majesty is right, your majesty.” Gladiolus interjected. ”We have worked hard to have good diplomatic connections with Xing in the past years. But if ever the evidence points to them, then I will personally lead this matter and ask them for answers. I will not let them off if their people have done such atrocities here.” He said with pure conviction.
”Then I will ȧssign this to you, Gladiolus.” Regaleon ordered. ”I expect a clear and concise investigation. I will not tolerate any mistakes.”
”Thank you, your majesty.” Gladiolus bowed his head. ”I will not fail you.”
”But other than that, what else have you called for us here, your majesty?” It was Anatalia who asked. ”I can feel that this issue is not the only thing you would like to talk about, your majesty.”
”Yes, there is another issue at hand.” Regaleon sighed. ”Please, take a seat first before I explain another thing at hand.”
The ȧduŀts all took their seats and looked at Regaleon with curious faces. Regaleon looked one by one at the people on attendance and started to speak.
”This is regarding the sacred beasts.” Regaleon said.
”speaking of them, I have not seen them since they arrived at the palace.” Gladiolus replied.
”Our familiars or what they called the sacred beasts in ancient times, were found with my twins unconscious.” Regaleon started. ”They recently have woken up, and they came to me and told me of something that I was also surprised to hear.”
”What is it?” Angel asked out of curiosity. She had been living with Carrick who was Dimitri's side for a while now and had considered him as a friend.
”It would be better I guess if they told you themselves.” Regaleon replied.
After Regaleon's words the door opened, and four people came inside. Three males and one female. They looked at the people who were seating with bright faces, as if they were old acquaintances.
”Hello everyone.” The female said with a cheerful voice. She had white hair and blue eyes.
”You may not recognize at in this appearance.” A man with black hair and eyes said.
”But this appearance is just temporary.” A man with fiery red hair and amber eyes said.
”We will revert back to our original state after we have finished the tasks given to us.” A man with blue hair and sky blue eyes said.
The people seating down were at a confused state. Those who only knew who they were are the people closest to them.
”V-Virgil… is that you?” Gladiolus pointed to the blue haired man with fascination.
”Yes master.” Virgil replied with a soft smile. ”It is I, Virgil.”
