Chapter 1093: 17.20 Fourth Violet Star - The Second Prince, the Grand Marshal and Yara von Chrysalis II
The second prince"s mind was in disarray. Who would have guessed that the world"s only Arbitrator would not only meet his pair on the verge of death, but that this partner would also be born similarly to him? What are the characteristics of an arbitrator?
1. Elemental Abilities
2. Inhuman Strength or Mental Ability
3. Quantum Beast
Only his Imperial Uncle possesses this level of strength in the entire Imperium Star. Caesar Mitch.e.l.l von Imperlian was the world"s strongest warrior. He is notorious for his unrivaled strength and mental rage. However, prior to his mania, he was the most sought-after man in the capital. His suitors can more than twice encircle the entire star. Unfortunately, even the strongest man can succ.u.mb to mental contamination, which can only be removed by Mediators.
Most Mediators were too weak to cure his mental riot as the world"s sole Arbitrator and ended up suffering from it until the entire population regarded him as a madman who could no longer be healed. But now that he"s fully recovered, he"s back to his old self after meeting Yara von Chrysalis.
The second prince had always imagined that his Imperial Uncle might come across a potion maker who could subdue or suppress his mania. Either that, or he met his mediator, who helped him alleviate some of his pain. But he"s completely wrong; what potion? Who is the Mediator? His Imperial Uncle found yet another Arbitrator to back him up. One who can fully heal himself and even support him on a daily basis. This man is also his fated companion, and they can share their abilities, which only the legends describe.
Christopher Klein von Imperlian regrets requesting this meeting. It simply informed him that the only difference between this couple and them was the distance between heaven and earth.
The Grand Marshal spoke, "Speak. Why did you want to meet Yara?"
"This... I just heard the rumors that the Imperial Uncle had found a pair and... was a bit interested in who it was. Believe me, Imperial Uncle. I just want to see what kind of person the Imperial Uncle"s partner is," the second prince, Christopher Klein von Imperlian, said. He even kneels as if afraid that the person in front of him will kill him.
Adjutant Kir von Giselle said, "Is it simply just that? Are you sure it had nothing to do with your fiance? You seem to already know that he is obsessed with wanting to have the Grand Marshal"s Favor."
The words of Adjutant Kir reminded the Old Butler of the last time Silvan von Rosegard paid his visit to their Grand Duke"s Palace.
The old butler had spoken, "My Lord, I believed that the words of Adjutant Kir had a point. The last time the second son of Rosegard came to the Palace, he was spouting nonsense about being capable of curing the Lord"s Mania. It sounded like a fake thought."
"I don"t need another person aside from Yara to cure me. Most of those self-proclaimed mediators said they could cure me, but in the end, no one had done it. Yara only needs to stay by my side, and my body heals on its own. There is no need for anyone else," the Grand Marshal declared.
When he made his declaration, everyone fell silent. Even Yara von Chrysalis, who couldn"t understand everything, just blinked at the Grand Marshal. They both have emotionless faces, but the depths of their eyes tell a different story. One is affectionate while the other is entertained.
Christopher Klein von Imperlian felt that his fiance"s standing had been jeopardized by his Imperial Uncle"s declaration. This Grand Marshal is warning him to keep his fiance under control. If that man accidentally hurt Yara von Chrysalis just to gain the Marshal"s favor, his fate would be more than just imprisonment. Everything that man owned would be gone the moment he made a move against the dragon"s reverse scale.
The second prince turned pale at the moment and said, "Imperial Uncle, don"t worry. I will never allow Silvie to approach the Imperial Aunt!"
"As long as you do, then he will be safe. This lord would never forgive anyone that dares to harm my other half!" The Grand Marshal said.
Unknown to everyone, Yara von Chrysalis, who was pretending not to understand everything, was thinking of something in his mind that no one would have expected.
Thoughts of Yara von Chrysalis, "The Fiance of the Second Prince Silvie, was it? I"ll make it so you never reach your desire. Though I don"t love this human, this man is his. All the ones that dare to covet him will never end well."
For a split second, the second prince, who was sneaking a peek at Yara von Chrysalis, noticed him smiling. It was such a fleeting smile, but it made him shiver, as if it were a foreshadowing of something bad to come. He could only ask for leave now that he had gotten what he wanted. He had no regrets about meeting Yara von Chrysalis. His smile told him everything he needed to know.
Christopher Klein von Imperlian bids his farewell, "Imperial Uncle, Imperial Aunt, this nephew will now take his leave. Please do excuse this little one"s rudeness."
"Go ahead." The Grand Marshal granted his leave.
But they didn"t expect Yara von Chrysalis to suddenly stop him and say, "Wait for a bit. Since it is our first meeting, it would be rude if I didn"t give you a gift."
Everyone, especially the second prince, was taken aback. Even the Grand Marshal couldn"t help but look at his wife, puzzled. They watch as Yara walks over to the nearby Old Pine Tree and whispers a few words. After a while, they noticed its branches moving on their own and reaching out into the deepest part of the Greenhouse. After a while, the Old Pine Tree presented Yara with a small flower plant. It"s a lavender blossom.
Yara von Chrysalis returned, carrying a few small, dark blue lavender buds. This is a mutated lavender flower that bears no resemblance to the original. It had a unique effect that regular lavender did not have. He walked towards the second prince, replanting the dark blue lavender flower in a small, clean pot.
The old butler asked his Young Lord, "Lord Yara, are you giving the second prince a lavender?" But it doesn"t look ordinary, though its fragrance is stronger and its color is different.
Meanwhile, behind him, he didn"t notice that Dean Frey von Gregory was acting weird. The moment the man smells the fragrance, he feels a bit sleepy for unknown reasons.
Dean Frey: Yawns
Adjutant Kir asked, "What"s wrong?"
"I feel a bit sleepy for some reason," Dean Frey von Gregory said. "This scent is making me... yawn."
It wasn"t until this point that everyone noticed something was wrong with the flower in Yara von Chrysalis"s hand. The Grand Marshal and the others all gaze at the dark blue lavender flower plant in Yara"s pot.
Yara von Chrysalis stopped in front of the second prince and wanted to give the dark blue lavender to him. "It should work more if you dropped your fiance"s blood on it. The fragrance of this lavender can put all the mediators to sleep. It cannot be defended, especially if the blood of that person was fed to the plant. Thought it wouldn"t affect S-ranked Mediators much unless their blood was fed on it. It wasn"t a Sentient plant thought and wouldn"t be able to help you fight. But... Do you want it?"
The dark blue flower in the small pot piqued the second prince"s interest. But he didn"t reach out right away, instead looking over at his Imperial Uncle, who was nearby. He only accepts the plant that will help him control his fiance when the Grand Marshal nods his head.
Christopher Klein von Imperlian said, "Thank you, Imperial Aunt!"
"Well, it"s just a small gift," Yara von Chrysalis said.
The second prince held the dark blue, lavender flower pot with care. He even shielded the scent of the flower with his qi to avoid accidents on the way. After the second prince had gone, the old butler inquired of his young lord.
The old butler said, "Young Master, is it truly okay to give such a flower to the second prince?"
"It"s fine. I told it to only influence one person and not make the other Mediators sleep even if the second prince asked him to do so. These plants would never betray me after all, and my words are like an edict to them." Yara von Chrysalis said.
He walked back to the couch, sat beside the Grand Marshal, and asked, "You don"t mind, do you?"
"You can do anything as long as you wish to," the Grand Marshal said as he rubbed Yara"s head affectionately.
With the Grand Marshal"s permission, the Old Butler and the other two in the garden stopped asking questions. After all, they were used to seeing the Grand Marshal lavishly pamper Yara von Chrysalis.

Meanwhile, in Silvan von Rosegard"s Room...
The second prince"s words had shocked him and filled him with dread. After all, he didn"t want to live the same life he had in the past. He doesn"t want to be a.s.sociated with the man who abandoned him previously. But who would have guessed that the Grand Marshal no longer required his healing ability because he had discovered a pair that did not exist before?
Unlike the Second Prince, he believes he was reborn on the same timeline where he died. In reality, he and the second prince were reborn in a parallel world that was similar to but not identical to their former world. Megan Sh.e.l.ley is no longer alive in this world, and his system no longer exists. Furthermore, his former supporter is no longer the same person, just as the soul that inhabits the vessel is no longer the same. His advantage as a reborn person was inefficient. Now that the majority of the characters in this world have taken the place of the original.
He bites his nails as he wraps himself in a blanket, as if he"s about to go insane. He couldn"t accept that most of what was supposed to be his were slipping through his fingers one by one. Furthermore, there are many differences from how he remembers it, making him fearful that his previous ending will be repeated in this second life.
"Who the h.e.l.l is it!? Just who the f.u.c.k is it!? The Grand Marshal never had a pair in my last life! How can he suddenly have one in this life? I don"t believe it! I don"t... That person mustn"t exist. As long as he doesn"t exist... As long as he dies, I will be able to get the favor of the Grand Marshal and escape the clutches of Christopher in this life!"
"I need to find out who the h.e.l.l is that person! Once I do... I must correct the error and eliminate it so I can reach the ending I wanted."
Silvan von Rosegard decided to look into the Grand Marshal"s current partner. It would be extremely difficult for him to do so, but he must. As long as the impediment to his plans is removed, the ending he desired will occur in the future. He is willing to go to any length to achieve his objectives.
Just as Silvan was about to do something that would lead to his demise. A voice was heard somewhere, luring him deeper into the darkness.
[How about I help you?]
Silvan von Rosegard was shocked and put up his vigilance for such an unknown thing.
"Who the h.e.l.l are you? How are you able to enter my room!?" Silvan von Rosegard exclaims as he looks around but can"t find anything weird in his room.
[You don"t need to know who I am. Just believe that I can help you achieve your goals.]
"Do you think I will believe you!?"
[How about I help you once for free? Didn"t you want to know who the partner of the Grand Duke is?]
Silvan von Rosegard expressed interest in the topic and closed his mouth, waiting for the voice to continue speaking. It was his current desire to know who would be the Grand Marshal"s pair.
[How about it? Do you agree?]
"Show me the proof of what I want, and I will accept your means." Silvan von Rosegard said.
[Hahaha~ well, our deal is sealed.]
A few photos and information were sent to Silvan von Rosegard"s terminal. There are pictures of Yara von Chrysalis with Jace Green and the Grand Marshal. There"s also some background on Yara von Chrysalis. His birth and family history, as well as his usual routes and hobbies, are all included. Except for the fact that he can cure the Grand Marshal"s mania, no information about his abilities was added.
Silvan von Rosegard stares at Yara von Chrysalis"s photos and mumbles, "I never expected it to be an ordinary student. In my last life, he didn"t exist after all."
[That"s what you are wrong about. This person also existed in your previous life. It"s just that you died ahead of everyone and didn"t know anything after the world had been destroyed.]
"What are you talking about?"
[If you agree to bind with me, I will tell you everything you wanted to know~]
"I agree."
