Legacy of the Betelgeuse

I'm logging in to the game after I took a nice bath, and the reason I'm back into the game is that Emma sent me an email two hours ago that they're going to help Kingstar and the others in the Aarus Empire to fight the rebellion because Kingstar requested them since they can't fight the subjects on their own. The subjects are stronger and there are so many of them around the Aarus Empire, the situation over there is a lot worse than I thought.

I teleport to the Aarus Empire's capital city to check on their condition and as soon as I'm there, it's a lot calmer than I thought, the players and the soldiers are resting on the street and there are so many dead bodies around them while some of the soldiers and players are carrying the dead bodies to the side of the street. I walk around the city and it seems that everything is finally under control.

I message Emma and she immediately replies and tells me that they're inside the Palace with Kingstar, they're about to execute the Aristocrats who raised their banner for the rebellion by hanging and beheading. I ask her about the subjects and she replies that the subjects are all dead as far as they know, but even if there are some of them left out there, Kingstar already sent so many parties to check the Aarus Empire's territory. After knowing that everything and everyone is doing fine, I  teleport back to Fjel Town and will wait for them in the house because they should be here soon.

I'm enjoying my tea while looking outside the house, and then I see Grisell is on her own walking to her workshop. I immediately open the window and call her name, she looks at the house and she's waving her hands then running towards the house. She enters the house and immediately walks toward the couch then dives with her belly hitting the couch.

"I'm so tired..."

I chuckle and look at her rubbing her face on the couch.

"But you're not doing anything, right?"

Grisell lifts her head up and looks at me.

"That's why I'm tired... I'm tired of boredom..."

I scoff and walk to the couch and sit in front of her.

"So, is it done?"

Grisell sits down properly and then grabs a snack from her inventory.

"Mostly, yeah. Right now, Ivonna and the others are discussing the future plan and what are they going to do with the Eluna Empire. The Emperor from the Aarus Empire is furious about this and so Kingstar is still busy to convey him to focus on rebuilding the Aarus Empire after the damages that the rebels made instead of going to war against the Eluna Empire."

I'm humming with understanding and leaning on the couch.

"So it's complicated on the Aarus Empire's side, huh? Then, what about the Alliance Kingdoms? Is Rodwane's presence really going to be okay? You should know that King Lionel isn't on good terms with him, right? Are you sure he won't take some action later in the future?"

Grisell is munching her snack while staring at me.

"Well, it won't be a problem for now since all the Kings and Queens already swift their political views toward Rodwane, and King Lionel is powerless right now because of that."

I'm nodding with understanding but then I tilt my head.

"I'm still confused how could Ivonna prevent the civil war since there are still so many of the subjects in the Alliance Kingdoms, no?"

Grisell is shrugging.

"I don't know the details, but Ivonna said that the subjects are loyal to King Crafnell so that's why the subjects didn't stir the civil war. She said that even though the subjects are Emperor Lerst's men, they were ordered by him to obey all of King Crafnell's orders, but since Emperor Lerst is dead now, King Crafnell is fully taking control of the subjects."

Grisell is grabbing another snack.

"But I wonder if King Crafnell would keep his loyalty to Rodwane and Ivonna though. I mean, he's one of Emperor Lerst's men. I'm afraid that he would start a rebellion when he has the chance, but Ivonna said that it won't happen and I'm still wondering why she can be at ease and just brushes it off as if she knows that he wouldn't do it."

Right, they don't know that Avriel is torturing him every day and I think Avriel won't stop doing so even if King Crafnell already submitted himself to her. I guess it's better for them to not know the details.

Grisell is looking at her screen while grabbing a potato chip.

"The Ophiuchus are coming here. They're on their way."

I'm humming with understanding and then walk toward the window to see when they arrive. As soon as I lean on the wall staring at the outside, a portal is opening and I see Ivonna and the others are coming out from the portal with them still wearing their armors and they all look so exhausted. I guess I will keep it short and simple since they seem to want to get some rest.

They're all entering the house and all of them are looking for an empty seat on the couch. Everyone is just talking to each other while resting their whole body. Diamond and Lothair are removing their armors and sit on the floor with their legs spread open. They both are looking at me while sighing and shaking their head. I'm just smiling and chuckling at them.

Ivonna approaches me and leans on the wall, she looks at me while leaning her head on the wall.

"What did you find?"

Everyone stops talking and their eyes are staring at me. I lift my body and walk toward the table and put down the books and documents that I got from the hideout. They're all leaning forward and each one of them is grabbing the documents and the books. They're all reading them for quite a while and they're switching books and documents with each other.

Kingstar is squinting his eyes and then looks at me.

"Where did you get all these?"

I explain to them what I found after I looted all the legendary equipment around the Palace. They're all raising their eyebrows with surprise after they heard that Emperor Lerst is just a puppet and not the mastermind behind it. I grab the book that has the information about the descendant of Hero Baltizar Wezeis and point at the paragraph on the page.

"Read this."

Kingstar grabs the book and reads it out loud.

"The subject will be infected after they consumed the pill, and those who are strong enough will be able to overcome the infection and they will be mutated into a strong human being that's granted with extraordinary skills and strengths. We are still observing the subject and we only have one subject that reaches the peak of the mutation because he possessed the [Heart of Alucard]. The subject's name is K.W. and he's the descendant of our lord Baltizar Wezeis."

Everyone is confused since they don't know who is Baltizar and why the book mentioned his name as if he's someone special. Queenstar looks at me and raises her eyebrow.

"Who is Baltizar Wezeis?"

Ivonna walks toward me and crosses her arms.

"Baltizar Wezeis was a Hero who destroyed The Orion Empire. Because of him, the three sovereignties appeared. Not just that, but there are so many sovereignties out there that we haven't heard or found but there's a chance we would be able to find them if we go explore the Orion. I think one of them is the Lost Dynasty, the Mauron Empire."

I'm nodding in agreement. Ivonna then rests her hands on her waist.

"This Baltizar is Aspen's mentor."

Everyone is shocked and speechless, but then Kingstar is laughing while slapping his knee.

"So Aspen is the one behind all this? He's the one who made all the players suffer from this? That son of a b*tch will pay for this."

Everyone is nodding in agreement with their annoyed and hateful expressions. I'm nodding with understanding and sit on the table.

"I know what you're planning to do, but let's face the problem that we are having in front of us first. The situation between the three sovereignties is very concerning, and we need to stop the three sovereignties from fighting each other."

Kingstar shakes his head.

"No, that's impossible. The players from the Aarus Empire's faction already confronting the players from the Eluna Empire and they wanted to make them pay for this."

Alessandro is nodding with understanding.

"Yeah, same here in the Alliance Kingdoms' faction."

I nod with understanding.

"I know that, and that's why I'm going to propose something to all of you."

They're raising their eyebrows. I look at them and nod.

"Tell them the truth, use all of these documents to convince the players and the NPCs. Tell them that it wasn't Eluna Empire's fault, but it was Baltizar's descendant who's the mastermind behind this incident. We need to put down the flame as soon as possible before it spreads wildly. Just tell them that you all found out about this and that's the reason why you all manage to stop the war and the civil war."

Jade Liu is looking at the document and then he looks at me.

"You want us to take the credit for your hard work?"

I look at them all and nod.

"Yeah, I think it's better for all of you to be the heroes of this story."
