The irregulars
Chapter 30
The air tightens, King Norza is mad and deeply confused. the trio quivered.
"why is that Demon is here? explain!" he demanded with overflowing energy of magic.
"your majesty king, this Demon, Sylvara are now bound to me with a contract, she cannot hurt others because of me, if she hurt others, her body will be destroyed and her soul will be sealed in exchange i saved her life when she was on the brink of death" Gen explained, thou the whole excuse was just a lie.
"Chill Norza boy, This Brat is saying true if im really free i can destroy this weakened Kingdom easily" Sylvara Chuckled.
"Shut up! bastard!, you killed countless people already" He Grip his sword.
"ohhh heh! how about you humans, how many demons you already killed?" Sylvara stared at Norza.
"Shut up, demons cannot die, you all are immortal! while we - we humans are fragile and weak" his eyes were filled with rage, as if a bomb that's about to explode.
"Idiot, We may be immortal but that's what makes up suffer, if our vessel is killed in this mortal world we goes back to hell and its very hard you know, we wait for a Thousand of years to walk in the mortal plane again the hell literally means hell you know, and norza let me impart a centuries of wisdom, human has their own cycle of reincarnation every hundred of years, your scars are temporary but ours is not" her words cut deeps to those ho heard.
"King Norza, Please just listen to us for now, i will tell everything that will answer your questions" Said Gen avoiding further fights.
Norza stared at Sylvara, "Say it" he demanded.
"King norza our Goal to unite the demon and angels, it's not a joke and this is our first step"
"If you're curious if we are capable of it, I will show tell you that We Gen, Claude and Rein were summoned by The sage of Magic Gaius, sage of Spirit Aries, and sage of martial arts Zeno.
Norza eyes narrowed, he took a paper inscribed with runes and spells in his desk.
"This is a spell of truth were all lies will be exposed, made with Holy magic from the church, try saying it here, it will glow dark when you lie" Norza demanded.
Norza put the paper in Gen's Chest, which connects the hearth and soul.
"Now say it"
"King, we three were chosen by the three sage, to unite the virtues and sins for an upcoming apocalypse".
The paper Glowed with Light.
Norza was Shocked with disbelief, however deep in his heart he wants to trust the trio who helped his kingdom.
And then Norza took 2 more Spell of truth cards.
"This papers is highly Expensive, one can feed a town for feast a whole week, but the truth and information is much more important, Gen answer two of my questions then I try to help"
"Yes king Norza, I'm ready", Gen took the papers and put on his chest.
"Then, what is the upcoming apocalypse you spoke of?" Norza asked.
"The upcoming apocalypse were entity born from the void, where they eat everything in the universe". The paper Glowed with Light.
"Hmm, an anomaly huh... next, tell me what are you three? As a king I discern every person but you three feels somewhat otherworldly"
Gen smiles. "Yes we are not from this world, but rather we are summoned to cope the three sages action to the strict Gods using our otherworldly body". The paper once again Glowed with Light.
The king was in deep thought, Gen answers were all true but the story is just ridiculous.
"King Norza, were are planning to go on a journey in order to Fulfill our Goal, our only wish is your support when something happens to us" Said Claude.
"Sigh i think about it, Give me time and Gen, Be sure to keep your leash on that Demon"
"hmm saying it a leash... okay okay"
After an hour later, Norza has decided.
"Okay, i give my support... however if that demon will try any funny ideas consider it as cutting ties" said Norza aware of the wrath of the Church if they find out.
"we agree Your majesty"
"and come to our family dinner, i hate hiding things to my family, specially if its too huge besides they can see through my burdens". said Norza Being proud of his family.
"okay, so we be back at dinner" said Claude.
"Um King Norza... can i use the Training Room?" Rein asked.
"Yeah, Suit yourself"
An hour later, rein was with Claris in the royal training Hall. as they Promised Rein will teach Claris the Life arts.
Claris sat on the ground while Rein put his hand on her back.
"R-Rein will this really work?"
"I don't Know" said Rein awkwardly.
"Ehh!" Claris was shocked
"Gen said that if i focus of my life energy and strengthen it, it will resonate with you" said rein thou Gen recommended it out of curiosity from Anime plots where the MC resonates his power to his heroin.
"A-anyway im starting, please focus" said rein trying to concentrate.
As Rein poured his life energy into his palm he sense Claris Life flowing within her.
"do you feel anything Claris?"
"N-no" she replied. "ahhh his hands are on my back! How can i focus? he said to feel? i FEEL IT- his HAND!" Claris inner Thoughts.
"I see... then i have to pour more right?" Rein asked while feeling embarrassed as it did not work.
"Ehh How should i Know! Rei!-"
As Rein poured larger life energy in his palm, Claris felt Rein hands became more powerful as if there's an energy trying to dig within her, as his energy touched hers, Claris Life energy became active.
"R-rein this is". Claris felt in her body a burning flame in her hearth and a flowing river in her veins"
"Do you feel it now Claris?" rein asked.
"Yes i feel yours touched something deep inside me" Claris was in awe... until
"Oww Don't make scandalous words haha" said Gen watching them in their back. "Ahem sorry to interrupt but... no your romance is too good than the news Bye! haha" Teasingly said.
"Wait up Gen! what do you want to say?" Rein asked. behind him lies Red Claris petrified.
"Ahem! okay okay" Holding his laugh. "Claris i want you to attend in the royalty dinner at evening, That's All! Please continue i wanna watch hehe"
Gen vanished into the shadow, leaving them two awkwardly.
"C-Claris should we continue?" Rein asked.
"wait give me a moment" said Claris red as tomato after saying Rein touched somethin deep in her.
Gen in the Shadow laughing with Sylvara.
"Hmm how about you? Genny, want a love me" said seductively trying to seduce Gen to her control.
"Ahem, that would be Great but spare me for now" said Gen.
The night came, where they seat for the royal dinner, the wide table and tens of chairs. after a few moments of explanation to the royal dinner, the food was left untouched.
"U-unbelievable! are you sure about this?!" The queen shouted that left the trio surprised. "this three kids are carrying such a huge burden!" said the Queen which surprises more the trio.
"Well it is heavy but, if it's for good then I do it" said Rein smiling brightly.
"It is tiring but Rein is right, to save the future and my ambitions" said Gen seriously with a slight smile.
"Ambition? Tell me about it Gen" said Claude with interest as Gen is a character who acts like carefree but has lots in mind to Claude.
"That is a secret hehe, oh but I tell a fragment of it" he grinned.
"Ahem!. To either uncover or create a truth that will chance the world" said Gen proudly.
"Huh? What does that mean?" Rein asked.
"Hehe! I don't know myself" said Gen.
"Oh and there's an important information i- no we have to tell you, king norza"
"Hm? What is it Gen?"
"You're daughter, Runa was born rather gifted". The royal family was in shocked.
"You all know she was born with necromantic abilities which made her life hard. However it was not just that. Runa may be comparable to the Virtues and Sins. She is a Zealot of Obsession" Gen explained.
"H-how can you tell that? And is it even real? What's a zealot" the Queen asked.
"We got the information from Sylvara, her reason why she wanted Runa, because of her immense power and potential in the future". Claude inquired.
"Based on my speculation, a Zealot means Excessive, while there is this Virtue of Love and the Excessive version of love is Zealot... Based on Sylvara, the zealots are twisted virtues, they are neither bad or evil but antiheroes, and Runa was one of them"
The royal family frozen.
"D-do I really have that power?" Runa questioned.
"Yes Runa, however a lot remains mystery thou, we will find it out" Said Gen.
"therefore i have a proposal, your majesty"
"what is it?"
"we- no, i want to take princess Runa to my journey. i promise to protect her while change the world perspective of her as we promised" said Gen, a slight of nervousness in his expression runs through.
Taking a princess from the royal family is a huge matter, yet he hopes this time with honesty.
"Tell me Gen. what made you interested in my daughter, Her Power? her body?, based of my understanding of you, you are the type who has deep understanding to humanity, Tell me, why do you want Runa" The king Serious, his words cut through the air as it became suffocating.
Gen didn't wavered, he looks eye to eye with the king.
"I simply got attracted by her character, not out of Romance or power but with an unknown feeling which made want's to keep her. power and beauty aside i want her to see the world with her own eyes, with her so called curse where she thought as will only bring ruin will save countless lives, to simply put i only see her so called curse as misunderstood and i hate it being cursed over"
The Room was filled in silence, no one has ever dared to be blunt and Brave in front of the glorious King eyes.
