Chapter 1080: 17.7 Fourth Violet Star - Unexpected Visitor
At the Grand Duke"s Palace...
Dean Frey von Gregory led the intruder who broke into the First Military Imperial School to kidnap Jace Green, the illegitimate son of the Imperium"s current ruler. After learning of the child"s lineage, the original Grand Marshal brought him here from an abandoned star to the Imperium Main Capital.
At the time, the Grand Marshal intended to use this child as a bargaining chip against his younger brother. After all, this is the child of his younger brother and his adored wife. The current Emperor despises his current Queen and concubines. He had carefully concealed the existence of that child, who would have imagined that the world"s two protagonists would be reborn at this time, and that the original Grand Marshal would be replaced by the G.o.d of Void. Many things changed in the future as a result of such circ.u.mstances.
The Second Prince informs the Crown Prince of the existence of their younger brother, making his existence known to the important people. Even the Grand Duke who was replaced had lost interest in him after the soul inside the Grand Marshal"s body was replaced. The G.o.d of Void was searching for a soul fragment of his wife. Why would he be concerned about a stranger who had nothing to do with him?
Adjutant Kir von Giselle and Dean Frey von Gregory"s souls were also replaced, so their priorities are also different. The real reason the Dean brought the Crown Prince"s man before the G.o.d of Void is simple. This man attempted to harm Lord Hei"s candidate vessel, which was enough to enrage the Evil G.o.d like Ye Xiajie.
After reporting everything to the Grand Marshal, all three of them believe that Student Yara von Chrysalis is Lord Hei"s soul fragment in this world.
Grand Marshal Caesar said, "I will meet him myself and check. Send a message to the Main Palace informing them about this event. Hide Yara von Chrysalis"s involvement in this and make sure to mention Jace Green"s existence to the king. He isn"t so stupid not to recognize the appearance of his son with the features of his most beloved woman."
"Yes, Lord G.o.d!" Dean Frey von Gregory responded servilely.
"While you are at it, indirectly mention the involvement of the Crown Prince. Though I am not sure that Yara von Chrysalis is my wife"s soul fragment, the possibility is there. Anyone who tried or caused harm to him shall be punished. Make the king punish the Crown Prince no matter what. Kir, you can go with him." Added the Grand Marshal.
His Adjutant and the Dean bowed their heads and saluted, "As you command, Lord G.o.d!" The two took their leave after receiving their orders.

Morning
First Military Imperial School
Mediator"s Department
Silvan von Rosegard arrived at cla.s.s looking for his cousin, Megan Sh.e.l.ley. It was to see if he was still alive, as his mother had stated. He couldn"t believe the soul-dispersing potion he had purchased on the black market was useless. In that dark place, he made a purchase, even putting himself in danger, just to kill that green tea b.i.t.c.h.
But he saw a living Megan Sh.e.l.ley surrounded by their cla.s.smates, acting as if nothing had happened. What he didn"t realize was that the soul in that man"s body was no longer his cousin, but a powerful Sorcerer in his own world. Silvan von Rosegard was bound to pay Zane Lin a visit; after all, he despised the original owner of his ship and had no intention of dying a second time.
"Megan, your cousin is here. Is he here to check on you? You were not feeling well yesterday after all."
"Maybe he came for another reason." Megan Sh.e.l.ley murmured.
"Eh? What do you mean?"
"Megan, your brother is here for you!"
"I"m coming over!" He stood up from his seat and told his cla.s.smates to give him a way for a bit. He looks friendly as always. "Let me talk with my brother for a bit. It might be something important."
Megan Sh.e.l.ley and Silvan von Rosegard went to an empty hallway so they could talk. The Rosegard Clan"s second son was keeping an odd eye on Megan Sh.e.l.ley. He couldn"t figure out why this girl didn"t die. Of course, Zane Lin inside Megan Sh.e.l.ley"s body notices his gaze, but he isn"t foolish enough to inform the others that he isn"t the real Megan Sh.e.l.ley.
Megan Sh.e.l.ley smirked and said, "Are you here to check whether I am dead or not? That weird potion you said was an Awakening Potion. It was something else isn"t it, I have that potion checked and realized that it was an illegal potion. Brother~ you understand what I mean right?~"
Silvan von Rosegard"s face turned pale with shock and terror as he spoke these words. He couldn"t understand why a branch family member would continue to bully him in his second life, and he refused to accept it. Meanwhile, Zane Lin, who has received memories from his previous life, understands why Silvan is acting this way. When he was still alive, the original had cost him his life and made his life a living h.e.l.l.
What Silvan von Rosegard didn"t realize was that Megan Sh.e.l.ley was also desperate to live in that era. Furthermore, he couldn"t accept responsibility for something he had nothing to do with. Plus, he realized that his cousin had to have been reborn with his past memories. That"s why he was determined to kill Megan Sh.e.l.ley in this life.
Silvan von Rosegard"s eyes are bloodshot and filled with malice as he stares at Megan Sh.e.l.ley. It was clear how much this young man was hurt when he was betrayed by Megan Sh.e.l.ley, whom he had treated like a brother, but who not only stole his fiance but also caused the ruin of his family and the death of his brother. It"s no surprise Silvan"s heart is filled with rage.
"Are you blackmailing me?! You know that between the two of us, who would my parents and brother choose!" Silvan von Rosegard said.
A playful smug appeared on Megan Sh.e.l.ley"s face and said, "You of course but... Are you willing to let your family and elder brother look at you like a little villain? They wouldn"t be the same as they are now after they had learned you tried to kill someone. Maybe they would even blame themselves that you had become like this. Do you want that?" Megan Sh.e.l.ley said.
Megan Sh.e.l.ley"s words were correct, according to the Rosegard Family"s second son. It took him a long time to create a version of himself that is completely different from his previous life, and he is not willing to disrupt the peace that his family currently enjoys. In annoyance, he could only bite his lower lips.
Megan Sh.e.l.ley spoke, "What I did in our previous life could never be taken back but... Unlike that time there isn"t anything that will force me to choose. I will stay away from the Rosegard Family and your fiance. So... Leave me alone. This is time I won"t do anything against you whether you believe it or not. Just don"t push me so much. Megan Sh.e.l.ley of this world truly died with that potion. He is no longer me."
He walked away without looking back, leaving Silvan von Rosegard perplexed. When he heard Megan Sh.e.l.ley mention the previous life, he realized that he wasn"t the only one who had been reborn, but his cousin as well. Silvan von Rosegard believed they had made his plan to kill Megan Sh.e.l.ley in this life a success, and that she had been reborn as a result. That is why he chose to live in dorms. This is done not only to avoid the Rosegard Clan, but also to avoid him.
In a state of disbelief, Silvan von Rosegard looked at the back of his cousin moving further away. Only now did he recall all the words his cousin had said.
Silvan von Rosegard murmured, "He said forced. In our previous life, was he controlled by something? That"s right, Megan Sh.e.l.ley truly loves my parents and respects my elder brother. Only what made him all do those things... Forget it, as long as he stays away from us. I will ignore him instead."
The Rosegard Clan"s second son walks back to rejoin his cla.s.s. What they didn"t realize was that there was someone else in that empty hallway who had overheard their conversation.
Christopher Klein von Imperlian emerged from the shadows. His black lion could wield dark elements, allowing him to blend in with the shadows in the area.
The Second Prince watches Silvan get further as he keeps watching and whispers, "As expected, Silvie had been reborn as well and... That Megan Sh.e.l.ley... that seems to be a different person especially when only he noticed me hiding in the shadow when even Silvie didn"t notice me. Since he chose to no longer get involved with us, as long as he knows his place then I shall ignore him as well. Only Silvie is the most important." He once again disappears leaving no trace of him being here.

Dormitory of the Ordinary Students.
Jace Green pretended to be an ordinary student when he entered the First Military Imperial School, and thanks to the Grand Marshal"s backdoor, he was able to join the Ordinary Students" Department despite the fact that he had long since awakened as an Adjudicator.
His Quantum Beast inherited the lion bloodline of the Imperlian Family as an illegitimate offspring of the Imperlian Family. His quantum beast mutated further and gave birth to a Liger, which is half-tiger and half-lion. It was said to be stronger than a regular lion because it was a cross between two fierce beasts. He"d be a serious contender for the throne. That is why the Crown Prince requested that he be investigated.
Jace Green had spent the entire day and night communicating with Rozen, his new pet. He a.s.sisted him in upgrading his soil to premium grade, poured nutrients into it, and even purchased him a genuine golden pot as he requested. The little rose plant had bloomed magnificently and appeared to be more expensive than a Juliet Rose.
Rozen: Master, why are you planting a new rose plant? Am I not enough for you?
Jace Green said, "Have you forgotten? You are supposed to be my Agriculture Cla.s.s"s a.s.signment. I need to surrender the rose plant to the teacher for grading. Do you want me to give you away?"
Rozen: Of course not! Master, I want some water~
Knock. knock. Knock.
Jace Green picked up the showering pail and poured some water on Rozen"s head. When suddenly someone comes knocking in his room. Since his shadow guards didn"t make the one outside is definitely not an enemy.
"Wait a minute~"
He dashed towards the door, Rozen in his arms, and was startled to see someone who wasn"t supposed to be here appear before his eyes. It"s a middle-aged man with light-blue irises and bright blonde hair. Unlike the Grand Marshal, he has traces of time on his face because he was not as powerful as his elder brother. A few wrinkles appear in the corners of his eyes. He appeared stern because he wasn"t smiling, but when he saw Jace Green, happiness flashed within his light sapphire eyes.
Even Jace Green was rendered speechless. He only sees this man in pictures his mother showed him when he was young. So I knew who this person was that suddenly appeared before him.
"Why...? How did you know...?"
"Can we talk inside first?"
The King of Imperium and the Grand Marshal"s younger brother, Cale Meijer von Imperlian.
He is also Jace Green"s biological father. This is a very important person who should only be found in the Capital City"s Center and inside the Main Palace. But, unexpectedly, he sneaked into the First Military Imperial School just to meet Jace Green in person.
Jace Green paused for a moment and looked behind the king, where he noticed his loyal minister and a few royal knights in disguise. Only after the King ordered them to remain outside while he went inside to meet his son did Jace Green allow him to enter his room. But the hands holding Rozen"s golden pot tighten, and Rozen himself knows he can"t let others know he"s awakened his intelligence, but he"s willing to come out just to protect his master. That is the essence of their agreement.
"Please... Come inside..." Jace Green whispered.
