Chapter 216



Valerian pointed at the boy with a shivering hand but he could not make a sound. Priscilla rushed over and picked up the book, she decided to read the content out loud, “There have been cases when a few fated ones who have came across dragon carcasses and gained wonderful opportunities. However, the treasure and trouble lies together.

Sometimes if the magic attribute of the dragon is too strong or if they die with a strong rage in their hearts, a part of their soul can also move on in the form of inheritance and latch itself to the heir of the magic attribute.

This partial soul retains only negative emotions, such as blood lust, rage, and indifference. This partial soul is not a proper soul, and thus it cannot be in control of the host, however, in case of dragon magic being used, this soul can take over and would destroy everything that stands in front of it, whether friend or foe.”

Priscilla was surprised to read such a thing but she was confused too as to why Valerian was shocked at this information. She turned to look at him and found that the young man has regained his composure and was taking deep breaths. The battle maid asked, “What is wrong, your highness?”

Valerian looked at her visage and said, “If I told you that I inherited an attribute other than the seven elements and that I also inherited the mentioned partial soul? Would you believe that?”

Priscilla was shocked, her eyes opened wide and she asked, “What do you mean? You have a dragon magic attribute? How is that possible?”

Valerian sighed and said, “I do not know how to explain it to you, but it happened when I went out in the forest of Acies. The dragon carcass there belonged to the Queen Of Dragons, Senium. I gained her magic of decay, and this alleged partial soul.”

Priscilla shivered and fell to her knees, she asked in disbelief, “You mean to say you can use the magic of decay?”

.....

Valerian replied as he took the book from her hand and said, “I mean to say that the cause of those thousand deaths is a partial soul inside me.”

The maid nodded and Valerian said, “Now that we know what the problem is, let’s try to find the solution.”

The two nodded and began to read the book, however, after finishing the book they did not find any more clue. However, the boy did not give up hope and kept at it. The content he read was now narrowed down to the research of partial souls and possessions.

Valerian was drowned in the sea of books, while Priscilla took care of him.

...

Azula sat in her office in the imperial capital and said, “Consano, what is the progress on the rumor issue?”

Consano was her aid, and served as the secretary to her. The lady replied, “Your Highness, it has been dealt with but it will take a few days for the heat to calm down. We made an unexpected gain in this whole fiasco.”

Azula asked, “What is that?”

“The spy network of the Centaur has been unveiled to us completely. All the spies are under the radar and we can take them out anytime.”, said Consano.

Azula smiled and said, “Very well, then feed the dogs a bone they will have a hard time chewing.”

Consano smiled and said, “His Highness the forth prince has already down that for us.”

Azula asked, “Do you mean the news that he is an Archmage?”

Consano nodded and said, “I apologize for the delay but congratulations, your highness.”

She wanted to show that she was sincerely happy that a member of the royal family was now an Archmage. Azula, however, sighed and said, “It is obvious that you do not know what the truth is, so I will accept your congratulations.”

Consano was confused and asked, “Your Highness is something the matter?”

Azula cast her a glance and said, “I think of you as a sister now, and you know that I hate traitors. So what I am about to tell you must not come out of your mouth till you die or you will suffer a fate that is far worst than death.”

Consano was surprised, she did not expect such a warning from the princess. Azula has always been gentle and docile. She had never acted so coldly, since this was the case, the matter she was about to tell must be of great importance. The aid nodded and bowed down as she said, “I swear on my life that what ever you say will not be heard by a third person.”

Azula sighed and leaned back in her chair, as she said, “Val has been able to cast magic without incantation ever since he awakened his blessings.”

Consano was shocked, Azula said, “He is blessed with a lot of skills, but the price he paid is also high. When I first met him, the boy cast a incinerating spell to melt a man in front of me without saying a word.

That man killed his mother, brutally. He is not the cursed monster as they say he is. He is just different. That is why I am so protective of him. Remember you asked me why I care about him so much? During my trial for freedom, he was the one who guided me unintentionally. If he was to ascend the throne of the empire, Lumen will be thriving like never before.

However, just like I who did not wish to have my fate decided by the others, he is the same. His fate lies somewhere else, and just like he helped me, I wish to help him.”

Consano was shocked, she did not expect for it to be like this. A freshly awakened child who could cast magic and that too without incantation. Any mage will be shocked to their cores. Consano also learned how wise he was, the princess even said that the boy could be the emperor. This showed how much she valued him.

This secret could be proved a fatal weakness, if the wrong people got to know this, they will certainly thing of Valerian as a monster. After all, only magical beasts can cast spells without incanting them. This was why Azula told her that this secret must not come out.

Valerian had already become a legend of a sort by killing the thousand enemies and defeating a grandmaster with his title of the youngest Archmage on the continent. Although Valerian did not care about these titles, but they were useful to get him away from the rumors against him.

...

Morgana had left the Centurion imperial palace with silk. She had asked Jamal to allow her to visit the capital, it has been a long time since she went out to wander. Jamal allowed her, he was aware that this girl liked to do charity and use the name of the imperial family to get the rich to donate to the poor as well, but he did not mind.

On the contrary, these actions were supported to make the image of the royal family better in front of the citizens. After all, Jamal was known as a iron-fist Emperor. Though what they did not know was that this charity and donations were being used by Morgana to establish her own network of spies.

The entire Imperial capital of Centaur had many people who suffered from poor financial situations and were helped by her. At any given moment, one of the two servants in any noble household or even the imperial palace were all the people who had somehow benefitted from the help provided by the princess.

They all were aware of how the princess was born to a maid and her mother suffered later. They sympathized with her and they supported her, to the victims of society, Morgana was the goddess.

She never asked them about anything, but the ladies will pass on some gossip to her every time she came out. This time, she was going to kick start her plan under the nose of the old man and set fire to him and the entire royal family.

The only solution of her problem was to set Jamal and his family free. Free from the bonds of life. Morgana did not care about the bad image she will have, she was already the black witch in the continent. How bad can things look for her?

Morgana came to the gathering hall she had secured from Jamal after an assignment. This way all the people who wished to meet her would gather under one roof. Morgana sat in a chair and the people began to pour over, they did not need any announcement or call to gather.

The servant in the palace will convey the message of the Princess’s arrival with them. The princess waited till everyone gathered and when the people were all in front of her, she said, “I wish to do something that may disturb your lives. I seek your support, but before I tell you my motive, please decide if you are ready to stake your lives on line.”

The people exchanged glances and when then back at the princess as they said in one voice, “We are ready, Your Highness.”
