"Why did you saved her? "Asked Lucien in the curious voice as he observed the beautiful flames that were devouring everything around, the whole area around the Yasuhisa Mansion were turned into the Realm of Flames. Sometimes there would be a small occasional explosion that was an addition to the raging flames beneath the heaven.
"I don"t know, Your Highness."
Answered Zelilios in a low voice as he also stared at still exploding Yasuhisa Mansion and surrounding area. Who knows, who died there, maybe even Kuroiwa and rest of them didn"t survive those explosions and raging flames. Maybe with some luck, Kirishima Ayato and Kaneki Ken survived, but probably yes as Lucien told them that tonight there would be huge fireworks.
Lucien observed him, before turning to continue to watch the fireworks, he admired the beauty of the flame and explosion. After ten minutes of watching he turned around to walk away, more to be specifical he was prepared to teleport them away using the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory, but before that, he turned to Zelilios and with a serious face said.
"She is your responsibility. You take care of her and persuade her. If she accepts, it is again your responsibility of taking care of her and getting enough contribution to get acess to the Sacred Blood Crystal and process of turning her into Sacred Devourer Ghoul or the day we would be leaving this world you may let her go, but only at that day. You know she is pure-blooded human and without any kind of special abilities so work hard my dear Holy Imperial Knight."
After Lucien said that Zelilios bowed in grat.i.tude and Lucien teleported them to the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory as he couldn"t let Mado Akira be in his Estate, for now, she would be better in the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Gory. Either she would join or die, simple as that.
=============================================
Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory
After returning to the Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory, Lucien went to his room to get a hot shower as he was all sweaty from the latest adventure. Those flames were too intense and there were extremely hot thanks to them.
He had worked a bit today and also disposed of Kano, and at least he was sure that Special-Cla.s.s Ghoul Investigators Kuroiwa Iwao has died in those explosions down there, so the current mission could be considered as a huge success. The only thing he wanted to do for now was to sleep and relax as he was tired. More than anything he was tired from that immense heat and noise of those explosions.
In a meanwhile, Zelilios took Akira to his room and let her sleep, during the time of her sleep he also got a shower and changed and then slept on the couch that was in the room. He wasn"t himself aware why exactly he saved the human woman in front of him, but what happened, happened. He was pretty happy that His Highness the Crown Prince didn"t kill her out of anything, but instead, he gave her to him s his own responsibility.
=============================================
Several hours later
After sleeping for several hours, Mado Akira finally started showing signs of slow awakening. She at first only opened one of her eyes weakly and then the second one. Before anything, she sat on the bed and held her head, which hurt.
"Where am I? This room looks like from some fantasy book."
She said to herself as she observed luxurious looking furniture, many things were ornamented with gold and on the walls were various beautiful paintings of people she didn"t recognize, but they were clothed in very fancy clothes and most of them were holding some sort of weapon.
"Awake?"
Asked voice out of nowhere. Akira was taken by surprise at first, but gradually she calmed down and started looking for the source of the voice. Then she saw a very handsome black-haired man, clothed in a luxurious looking white outfit, created from several components. He wore a white suit with a long coat, tight high boots, and white waistcoat. It gave a n.o.ble presence.
"And you are?"
Asked Akira in a calm voice as she observed the man before her, not sure about what to do.
"Zelilios, Holy Imperial Knight N0.4 of Holy Niflheim Empire, currently acting as the personal knight of his Highness, Crown Prince Lucien Etras di Aeon."
Introduced Zelilios himself as he fave out even traditional salute. Akira was surprised at first that the man before saved her and also because she never heard about anything like Holy Niflheim Empire or anything basically he said to her. Even though she was shocked inside, she tried to keep calm as much as possible and tried to sort out alôl those chaotic thoughts in her head.
"What are you?"
Asked Akira after some time of thinking and observing Zelilios who was comfortably sitting on the sofa in front of her. Same as her, he was also observing Akira and watching her every movement or expression. Watching her expression was rather a hard task because even now she barely changed it by an inch.
"Sacred Devourer Ghoul, we are like ghouls, but evolutionary we are on a much higher level, as for example we are stronger, live longer, don"t need to eat humans to survive and many other things. Holy Niflheim Empire is a country located on the Blood Island in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle or as you humans call it one of the mysteries of the world."
Then Zelilios explained slowly some minor things about Sacred Devourer Ghouls and Holy Niflheim Empire as he talked about it and was answering all her questions. She was shocked to hear that there existed so powerful ghouls, alas in hiding in the dark, but she was also surprised by the fact how different they were from ordinary ghouls. For example the fact that they can"t get crazy even if they consumed other ghouls and all these things, when she asked about it Zelilios showed her Blood Essences and told her how they were getting RC Cells from other ghouls as it was barbaric to consume other ghouls or some creatures in a manner consuming their flesh.
