Chapter 241 - HEART THAT COVETS I (1/2)
Azief keep looking down, his gaze seems to be so powerful and suffocating that those people did not dare to have any dark thoughts.
It was a divine aura that is emanating out of him. His hand is on his chin, propped by his hand as he lazily looks at them
The room was silent. One could even hear a needle falling down with this silence. Azief could even hear their hear beat, loudly and nervously.
Then he ask
'So, what is it you came to me for?' He asks to those five people rising up from their kneeling position.
They all looked at each other in anxiety and nervousness and gulped. There was an awkward silence while Azief is sitting lazily on his throne.
He is just looking at them without interest. And then one of them comes out to the front and bows a little.
The man has a mature face, with a reddish face and curly hair. He seems to be nervous but also at the same time there is a determination in his eyes.
'Your Excellency Death Monarch. My name is Theonius and I come here representing the Seven Warlords of Delphi' He was about to say more but Azief help up his finger and he halted.
Azief then said, looking at the Keeper of his Palace
'I need information for the Seven Warlords of Delphi.' The Keeper of the Palace was shocked.
Suddenly he remembers that the Death Monarch ask them to be prepared for tomorrow last night.
They didn't compile the information because they forgot. It was like someone just poured cold water onto the Keeper of Palace. His face is pale and he is trembling.
Azief is looking at the Keeper of the Palace standing beside his throne and his eyes furrowed.
The keeper started feeling afraid and his hand could not stop trembling because of the fear and anxiousness.
He was about to kneel and admit his fault but when all hope seems lost, the Keeper of the Palace that is standing outside the Throne Room announces
'The Shadow Guard requests an audience.'
Before the Keeper of the Palace even has time to finish his word, a Shadow Guard enters the room.
The Shadow guard covers his face and dressed in black with purple clouds patterns on his black attire.
And the Shadow Guards have no shadows. Even as the light illuminated him slightly, there is no shadow.
The Shadow Guard did not say anything. He only kneeled in front of the Throne and presented a scroll.
The Keepers of the palace that is sitting beside the throne immediately broken off from his fear and immediately accept the scroll on behalf of the Death Monarch.
The Shadow Guard then nodded toward the Death Monarch and Death Monarch nodded back. The Shadow Guard then without saying anything disappeared into a puff of dark smoke.
The people in the room all looked at each other.
They finally saw the mysterious Shadow Guards.
They are the most mysterious organization in the structure of power of the Death Monarch faction.
They are led entirely by Sasha the Nightingale and they are rarely seen. All people knew is that the Shadow Guards seems to have many sphere of activities.
They seem to engage in assassination, information gathering, intelligence extraction and many more.
In a way many people regarded the Shadow Guards of the Death Monarch faction is like the CIA, or KGB.
But because of the mysterious nature of this organization, no one really knows what is their primary task.
Even for the people in the Death Monarch faction other than Sasha the Nightingale no one really knows what the Shadow Guards does.
But one thing is clear
They are the eyes and ears of the Death Monarch. In the Massacre ion the Island of Peace, the Shadow Guards revealed themselves.
It was them that give the Three Army intelligence that the World government has no Battlestar in their reserve.
Then they also directed the battle into the weak points of the barrier thus causing the barrier could not withstand their bombardment for too long before breaking down.
Azief look at the scroll given to him. Touching it, information streamed into his mind.
It has all the information about the five people in front of him.
The Seven Warlords of Delphi was formed when seven warlords in Greece signs a treaty under the eyes of the Oracle to stop fighting each other and form an alliance with each other.
They then proceeded to unite Greece and with seven of the most powerful warlords uniting, they easily done this.
Even after the Oracle left the World Government and joins the Republic, the Seven Warlords alliance stays strong and then even after getting out of the Fake World and returning back to the real world, they continued their alliance and now this Seven Warlord controls all of Greece.
Now, that Azief got the information, he could now speak. He then looks at Theonius.
He nodded and then asks
'Theonius, what does your leaders want to express by sending you here? They should know I would talk about this a year later. Is your leader wanted to reject my will?' Azief ask, his voice tone was calm yet there is an inviolable majesty in his question right now.
Right now, in the world other than if the whole world heroes united to fight against him, the Death Monarch is invincible.
But to unite all heroes against him would not be feasible. Heroes and even villains alike, have their own aspirations.
Even though they might defeated the Death Monarch that way, who wanted to be the first to die under Death Monarch hand.
Forcing this colossal figure into a death end would surely be catastrophic matter for humanity future.
Theonius mustering his courage then said
'Your Excellency Death Monarch. My leaders only have one request. In the distribution of the world, my leaders have no desire to reject Your Excellency will. They only desire that if Your Excellency really divided the world between the World Government and the Republic, they don't want Greece to be under the World Government. That is all.'
Azief nodded and then he closes his eyes. The other four representatives and ambassadors from other faction heard this and their eyes are all narrowed.
This is juicy news. It seems that Greece is intending to break off from the World Government
Then Azief open his eyes and ask
'What's in it for me?' Theonius smiles. The Death Monarch didn't beat around the bush which makes his job easier.
'We have some scrolls that would surely pique Your Excellency interest' Azief smirk and then laughed a little
'I have seen many treasures in this world. What makes you so sure that I would be interested in your scroll?'
Theonius smile with confidence and then said
'Permission to approach' Theonius ask. Azief nodded. Theonius approach the throne chair and look at the other four representatives. Azief understand so he waved his hand and the sound around him and Theonius is sealed.
And then Theonius said quietly
'Our scroll spoke of a location of a certain temple.' And then Azief heart quickly beats. Theonius then retreated back to his position below the throne.
Azief then shows a trace of a smile as he said
'You have been investigating me.'
