Chapter 85 - The prophecy (1/2)
As the strikingly handsome emperor and his outstanding wife ascended on the well-adorned stairs. a pair of eyes, devoid of any emotions awaited them. His dark hair shows white linings, although he is still good shape, Conrad Regaleon Fergus' face showed signs of aging. He slightly nodded at Astrid, pertaining to the need for information on how the operation went. Normally, an injection would be sufficient to become temporarily numb then after many takes of this medicine, he or she shall be numb entirely, forever bereft of any feelings and emotions.
"It's a success, Your Majesty" Astrid replied, in a casual tone yet still formal. Her lips pointing upwards as to how everything went on her side. They, Logan and Astrid finally met the twins and even snatched them from that small place.
'Huh, serves you right Celestia'
No one can take anything from her, she, Astrid Vega Fergus can do anything she wants, she doesn't need love if it's not for her. She was born to be an empress.
Her mother, Esmeralda Yang, came from the Parvus Kingdom, a kingdom located at the Theavarian empire who holds a long lineage of prophets, the one who foresees the future. One of the two greatest Sybil, the blind one, spoke to Esmeralda, being the queen of the Parvus Kingdom, it is in their tradition to have the new-born babies of royals to have their fate seen.
The blind Sybil, Tenebris, and her twin in the soul, the deaf, Lux, the light are the present oracles of the Parvus Kingdom. Every generation, only one blind person and one deaf can become the prophets of the Parvus Kingdom. Seldom do they make mistakes. It was in their mouth, one can hear the divine intervention that is destined to happen in the future, regardless of how it will happen.
"A great disaster will be coming" Tenebris uttered, her name representing the darkness that can happen in the future.
The maids around Esmeralda gasps! This can't be! They are expecting to hear Lux, the goodness to speak and not the other one.
This is a bad sign.
"In ancient times, a forbidden love arose between the god of love, Ekon Maximus and the goddess of war, Lucinda Keva Calliope, they were never meant to cross paths, Ekon with his magnificent wings belongs to the heavenly realm and Lucinda...well, she's destined to serve, to fight and to kill." Lux started to narrate.
"The world has different realms but is mainly divided into two, the good and the bad, the beautiful and the rotten. However, in those two well-balanced worlds, an enormous mistake happened. Lucinda Keva Calliope, a rugged woman, on great war against the fairies in the flower realm, a part of the heavenly realm, got stabbed right into her stomach when the fairies used their powder to blur their vision"
"It was a normal thing in a fight, to get injured, to get stabbed and even to damaged beyond recognition, being stabbed for Lucinda is no big thing. However, a fragrant, big yet warm pair of hands grabbed her mouth from behind, it was soft and delicate, not the hands fitted for a man in her realm. It was Ekon Maximus, the god of love"
"And you know what happened next, they met secretly and the walls Lucinda built around her heart crumbled, Ekon's blonde hair and violet-like galaxy eyes melted her away and that fateful day led to the tragic story of today"
