Legacy of the Betelgeuse

I stand up and everyone is looking at me. Ivonna raises her eyebrows.

"Where are you going? You're leaving already?"

I look at her and nod.

"Yeah, I have to start to do my own thing."

I'm humming and then look at Sigryd and Alessandro.

"Oh, is one of you from the Hebraum Kingdom?"

Sigryd and Alessandro are looking at each other and they both shake their head while looking at me. Ivonna is tilting her head.

"Why do you ask? Is there something you need from the Hebraum Kingdom?"

I'm nodding and raising my eyebrows.

"King Crefnell is one of Emperor Lerst Eogura's men, so I will take care of him first. If things get worse, the three of you don't have to get involved in this, and let me be the one to take responsibility for what I'm going to do to him."

Ivonna walks and stands in front of me.

"Wait a second. What do you mean if things get worse? Are you planning to kill him?"

I smile and shake my head.

"No, I'm not. I'm going to try and dig some information from him, that's all. I won't kill him because if I did, it would do nothing and only worsen the situation in the Alliance Kingdoms. I will keep him alive and try to bring him to our side, it's just that if he didn't want to cooperate, there's a high possibility that he will order his army to arrest me, and what I mean by if things get worse is there's a chance that a VoW will appear and the players will hunt me down like back then during my quest retrieving Krestan's limbs."

Ivonna is humming with understanding.

"If that's the case, then I will join you and help you. If I'm there with you, he wouldn't dare to do so because I have a high position in the Alliance Kingdoms as you know, and I don't think he would dare to risk his real identity by involving the other rulers if he wants to arrest me."

I put my hand over my mouth and look at her.

"Yeah, that would be great. Are you sure you want to do this with me?"

Ivonna nods.

"Yeah, I'm sure."

I look at Kingstar and the others.

"Since you all are going to help me in this matter, then I should at least give you all some information for the dungeon that you're all going to attempt. Beware of the traps on the third stage and one person is better to clear it while the rest can wait. You all might think otherwise but remember that. Also, beware of the final boss and don't let the boss scan you. That's all I can say for now."

Kingstar scoffs and looks at me with disbelief.

"How do you know about a dungeon that you haven't even cleared yet? Sometimes I'm curious and suspicious with your knowledge."

Everyone is looking at me and waiting for my answer. Ivonna is looking at me with worries, but I shake my head while smirking. I grab [Book of Sahuurn] from my inventory and show it to them.

"This is the answer."

I throw the book on the table and they look at it with confusion. Kingstar grabs it and opens the book. He furrows his forehead and raises his eyebrow while flipping the pages. He looks at me with confusion.

"What language is this? I can't even understand what it says, and the system isn't translating for me."

Jade Liu grabs the book from Kingstar's hand and reads it. He smiles.

"As I said, he's not like us. He must have learned about this language from the NPCs or at least he seeks answers from them. Now I'm convinced why you're the best player in the game, Trevor."

Lothair is raising his eyebrows while staring at me.

"So you have been gathering useful and valuable information all the time, huh? No wonder you seem to know about everything. Well, if you're planning to sell those pieces of information, you can hit me up because I'm interested in the knowledge that you have about the game."

Kingstar smiles and nods.

"So that's what it is."

Kingstar then looks at me.

"I'm ready to spend a lot of money for that knowledge as well."

I walk toward them and grab the book. I scoff and shake my head.

"I'm going to keep this knowledge to myself. If you want it, then find it yourself. You will find them when you're looking in the right direction. Anyway, I have to go now. Good luck on finding those subjects and once you find them, don't hesitate to kill them because you might get a unique skill from them. I believe they have a high rank in the empires and in the kingdoms now, so you should try that first, and then you can go down from there."

Everyone is surprised when they heard what I said. They look at each other and then immediately stand up and prepare to leave. Diamond and Lothair run toward the door, Diamond is waving at me with a big smile on his face.

"You should have told us about that earlier, but thanks for the information! We will hunt them down now!"

One by one, they're leaving the house and say goodbye to all of us. I look around and I don't see Chelsea around but Emma is here with us.

"Where's Chelsea by the way? I didn't see her."

Grisell is pointing at the shop.

"Chelsea is busy making garments for you. She's been there for hours now, and she said that she doesn't want to be bothered. So that's why she's not here with us. Now that you mentioned it, I guess I'm going to help her now."

I'm humming with understanding.

"Alright then. Ivonna, are you ready to go?"

Ivonna nods.

"Yeah, let's go."

Ivonna looks at Michael and the others.

"You guys should help Sigryd and Alessandro to hunt the subjects. I bet you're all interested in the unique skills they have, right? You guys can go if you want to."

Michael is nodding up while looking at the others.

"You guys down to hunt them?"

Francesca shrugs.

"Yeah, sure. Lead the way, Mike."

We are all leaving the house and go to Fjel town, but there's somewhere I need to go first before I go to the Alliance Kingdoms. Michael and the others are already teleported to the Alliance Kingdoms, while Ivonna and I are still in town.

Ivonna is raising her eyebrows.

"Where do you want to go?"

I tilt my head toward the house next to me.

"Follow me."

I'm knocking on the door and I can hear footsteps coming from inside of the house, then someone is opening the door.

"What can I help you?"

I look around and make sure nobody is looking at us, then I remove my hoodie. Rodwane is surprised to see me and he immediately tries to close the door on us, but I'm holding the door while smiling.

"Let us in. There's something important that you need to know and I'm here not to kill you or something like that, trust me."

Ivonna is furrowing her forehead while staring at both of us. Rodwane is looking at Ivonna and then he raises his eyebrows. He then opens the door for us.

"Come in."

Rodwane is pointing at the table.

"Please take a seat while I'm preparing the tea for both of you."

Rodwane walks past us and to the kitchen. Ivonna is leaning towards me while looking at the kitchen.

"Who is he?"

I look at the kitchen while nodding.

"He used to be the overlord of the Alliance Kingdoms. His name is Rodwane the third. I think you have heard of that name when you joined the Alliance Kingdoms' faction."

Ivonna's mouth is open aahing with understanding.

"I thought he's dead? I heard that he was the descendant of the king who united all the kingdoms. If he's alive, why is he here? And not in the Alliance Kingdoms?"

I chuckle and shake my head.

"Do you think he wants to be here? Of course not. He's faking his death so he can live peacefully, and of course, the reason why he's faking his death is that the Eluna Empire is looking for him and wants him dead. I think you know already what that means, right? He has a lot of information that would endanger the Eluna Empire."

Ivonna is humming with understanding, and then Rodwan comes back with two cups of tea for both of us. He sits in front of us and puts the cups of tea on the table. He looks at Ivonna and smiles.

"I heard a lot about you, Lady Ivonna. You are truly the pride of the Alliance Kingdoms."

Ivonna smile while nodding.

"Thank you for the compliment. I only did what I had to do."

Rodwane looks at me with hatred.

"What do you want to tell me?"

I look at Ivonna.

"I will carry on Jariel's plan from now on, Rodwane."

Rodwane is surprised and looking at Ivonna with concern. I scoff and look at him.

"Don't worry, she knows who you are and what is your plan with Jariel. She knows everything and she's here to help me with that. So, let's make it quick. Do you want to help me make the Alliance Kingdoms like it used to be or not?"

Rodwane keeps looking at Ivonna and Ivonna is just smiling and nodding with understanding. Rodwan then looks at me and sighs.

"You killed Jariel and his men, then you annihilated the Headless Cult who was our ally. How are you going to do this plan without both of them?"

I smirk.

"You don't have to worry about that. I have a couple of people that are the strongest people in Orion. They're going to help me with the plan with millions of their forces. We are going to flip over the Eluna Empire and to make the three sovereignties stand together in peace."

Rodwane is rubbing his chin and he's still not convinced. I grab the [Ether Sickle] from my inventory and put it on the table. Rodwane is surprised with his mouth and eyes wide open.

"Do you know what this is? I'm sure you know and you know who's this weapon belongs to. I'm here because Hero Ezira Alexus gave me the task to bring peace to the Orion, and you know this weapon is the symbol of peace to the people of Orion. I wouldn't dare to use this weapon if I'm not confident with myself."

I cross my arms and look at him.

"I will ask you one more time. Do you want to help me or not?"

Rodwane nods without hesitation.

"Yes, I will help you. But what do you need from me?"

I smirk.

"I want you to become the overlord of the Alliance Kingdoms."
