Chapter 4: First Episode: Chapter 4 (2/2)
The historians who came later did not make it difficult for the brilliant His Majesty Andrew’s era. His plan was named ”The Shadow of the God of Light”. Although historians criticized the huge and meticulous criminal plan, they all acknowledged that His Majesty Andrew was a great Monarch of the dynasty. This juvenile who was born to the Underworld’s godfather, during his youthful years, ended the rule of the four hundred Titan years long Morisette dynasty. He used his entire life to conquer countless countries and made the holy Titan Empire’s territory, for the first time, border the far Eastern dynasty. The legend written by the Monarch and the criminals during the early years simply could not be compared and discussed to the unfolding of the political, military struggle!
Let us forget about how the later generations judged O’Neil Andrew Morisette. Let us return to the Light Calendar’s 8 April 791 in Damorga. In the Imperial Guard Lieutenant General Moranzo Hanning’s small living room, our story’s little protagonist, little Oscar was doing what others’ his age shouldn’t be doing.
The chubby little Oscar completely let himself sink into the Polar bear sofa. One hand was holding a glass of rum, while another hand wedged a huge Kuba cigar. This was the only thing that little Oscar admired about Moranzo’s place, the former warden’s eye for comfort was still not bad.
Smoking his cigar and tasting the fine wine, the child looked somewhat comical. But Oscar did not think so. He thought it befit his current status as the underworld’s godfather. The king-sized Kuba cigar and genuine ancient rum had been with Moranzo Hanning for almost half his life. Until his later years under the fourth empress strong warning, he completely gave up. Of course, this would be discussed later.
”This time… This time is it completely over?” Moranzo Hanning already had complete faith. He once again sized up the juvenile he had known for ten years. He had no idea that this chubby little body held that kind of frightening wisdom and intelligence.
”Not yet,” Oscar said while puffing out circular smoke rings.
”Not.. not yet? Heavens! What are you trying to do?” Moranzo sighed.
”Do not hope for the heavens anymore Moranzo!” Oscar was a little fed up. ”Having to explain these things to you is just so draining! Don’t tell me you don’t have even a little imagination? After the imperial envoy’s expedition team that came from Dulin entered Damorga prison, they became convicts! Do you believe it? Oh! Sorry! I forgot to tell you, I admit this was my mistake. Actually, this expedition team really does exist. It’s just that on the way here they met robbers, and these pampered men were massacred! As to who did it, I do not know. I’m only interested in using their corpses to put on a show. Pay attention to the papers from Dulin. You will see the news that these men, on their way from Damorga, came across a landslide and were all killed.”
”Devil! You are the Devil! God of light please forgive me! I actually made a deal with the Devil!” Count Moranzo Hanning’s state of mind was somewhat fuzzy.
”Ola! Beloved Count! The God of Light would not let you comfortably live the next half of your life! But the Devil could! Look at yourself! Do not complain anymore! We should go and mingle with those respectable and beautiful ladies and miss’s now! The Devil is not only interested in sinning! What do you say Mr inspection officer? ” Little Oscar turned towards the Imperial Envoy’s chancellor and laughed.
”Yes! Sir O Neil Andrew Morisette, I completely agree!”
”That’s settled then! Let us go out. Vick! Vick!”
The confidential secretary outside the door answered in return. ”Boss! What are your commands?”
”Ola! You need to look after your house’s Lieutenant General. He is now a multi-millionaire. Moreover, he just drank a few glasses. Careful, he may be seduced by those crazy ladies with an ulterior motive to get into bed with them. Even though he does not have my attractiveness!”
Being ridiculed by Oscar, the close-to-passing-out Lieutenant General could only force a smile.
It’s really troublesome! When Sika saw the Eastern man lying on the ground with foam rising from his mouth and his body twitching incessantly, he charged at his helpers in anger!
”You fools! Idiots! Who gave him the drug? Don’t you know how important he is!”
”Mr Sika! Please believe us! We completely followed the determined drug dosage to medicate him! The Light of God is our witness! This absolute truth! We also do not know why he’s like that!” Sika’s helpers were frightened and knelt on the floor begging for forgiveness.
”Argh! Heavens!” Percy forcefully compressed on the Eastern man’s heart. He was also panicking! This fellow’s pulse was getting weaker! ”Sika! You unlucky smelly scorpion! Don’t mind your wretched helpers! Quickly, come help! How did you handle this situation previously? Hurry!”
”Oh! No! Respectable Mr Percy, some things you do not understand! When I am medicating these ‘VIP’s’, I am very cautious. Their drug dosages are controlled to the minimal amount, just because I was afraid that they may have a drug overdose reaction. So they are actually quite adapted to the drugs!”
”Then what about when you were doing your early experiments? Oh! Hurry! Don’t tell me you’ve never used a life person to test the drug’s nature!” Percy cried while carrying the unlucky Eastern man.
”Ah! This… You know, those guys are all slaves. And I don’t know much about the medical arts, so... so...”
”So you didn’t care whether they live or died, is that right? Ah! God of Light! You must please punish this smelly scorpion that disregards human life!” Poison Doctor Percy was so angry that he was speaking somewhat incoherently. He forgot that the God of Light also classified him as one of the demons. ”Fine! Everyone make way! Go to my prison cell! Sika, you go too! I am going to resuscitate him. But Sika, you better start praying! I trust that you are extremely clear whose identity this Eastern man is supposed to replace. If this replacement dies, where would you expect Brother Balance to find another Eastern man in such a short time? Oh good gracious! Even if you died a thousand times you still won’t be able to calm Brother’s fury! Heavens! Pray that it is still in time!”
Sika was stunned. It was not his first time hearing about Brother Balance’s glorious name! Furthermore, Armani Boaz had stressed to him before about just how important these replacements were! He suddenly felt that the God of Light really sent him a judgment decree.
Oscar, at Moranzo Hanning’s ball, had everything going his way. That elegant demeanor of his plus the humorous way of talking had the numerous Misses and Madams present deeply attracted. In the eyes of these Misses and Madams, this child who had a fat appearance, was adorable. They had earlier heard that this Damorga’s respected prisoner was about to obtain amnesty right away. His Majesty the Emperor was, for his ten years of imprisonment, going to hand out a generous compensation. For goodness sake! This was as if a gold bar fell from the sky. If they could become this Childe’s lover or even his wife, that would be absolutely wonderful! The God of Light praises love, thank you!
Oscar was clear about the intentions of these shiny-eyed little Madams. Annie intentionally avoided him. It seemed that she did not mind him capturing one or even two beautiful ladies. Oscar was very grateful to Annie. At this moment, he really needed a passionate distraction. Even though Antonia was widely accepted as the most beautiful lady in Damorga, but at the ball, he still discovered a lively, plump and beautiful miss.
Moranzo Hanning’s garden was overgrown with a lot of tall and lush vegetation. Little Oscar brought this beautiful girl and disappeared into the depth of the forest. He took half an hour before he held the girl’s small hand; and another half an hour to let the young miss believe that them meeting was a gift bestowed by the God of Light. Lastly, Oscar, put a precious gemstone ring that gave off gentle rays of light under the moonlight on the young miss’s long slender finger. Seeing the beautiful girl’s eyes that watering with emotion, Oscar let off a deep sigh. It was this simple! One of his hands was on the girl’s slim waist while his other hand covered one of the girl’s breasts that exhibited an air of maturity about them. The girl only slightly resisted, and then happily closed her beautiful eyes.
Oscar was breathing heavily. He had the girl pressed up against a large tree. His hands were as if filled with electricity. The girl’s fair skin under the moonlight was trembling. Oscar pulled open the girl’s evening gown at the breast. His two hands deftly untying her girdle from the back. Her long gown was hung high up at her waist. Oscar was quickly lost in the thrill that was similar to a secret love affair. He forcefully sucked those proud mountains. His fingers were wandering around a warm and wet ocean.
Oscar’s vigilance was as well known as his fairness, habits acquired over many years caused Oscar to wake instantly from the momentary fervor as soon as he heard a faint noise. He only needed to carefully sense it once and he could already be sure that it was the sound of the imperial guards’ military boots stomping on the ground, and that boot’s owner was approaching abnormally cautiously.
The girl dazedly opened her eyes. Her arm was still closely tracing Oscar’s neck.
”My darling! You are my goddess! My precious love for you could be compared to that of the God of Light’s towards the earth. But today has to end here. Someone is coming! Hurry and tidy up! You’re here... here... and here are mine only. I wouldn’t want any other man to share in on these secrets!”
The girl in Oscar’s arms shivered slightly. She gently nibbled on Oscar’s ear. As soon as she left the boy’s arms, she turned and ran into the forest.
Oscar walked while tidying up his already ruffled attire. He saw Vick, and Vick saw him.
”For goodness sake Vick! I just met a fairy. Just when I was trying to communicate with her, you appeared. You don’t seem like the one who enjoys ruining someone else's happy moment. Compensate me a fairy, will you? That one just flew away.”
Captain Vick complexion appeared grim. He did not react to Oscar’s teasing. ”Boss, don’t you mind the fairy anymore. The one in charge of defending the inner fort, Mr. Colonel wishes that you go over at once.”
