Chapter 1087: 17.14 Fourth Violet Star - Silvan"s Awakening
In the Rosegard Clan"s Family Mansion
Silvan von Rosegard"s Room
Silvan is increasing the power of his qi in the room of the Rosegard Clan"s second son, using his family"s secret Breathing Techniques. He was one of the Mediator Department members who was most likely to awaken as one. Silvan, who was training in his room, finally awakened as a true Mediator today, as expected. As he floated in the air, surrounded by qi, his mental abilities greatly improved. His white tiger had awakened from his Quantum World and appeared in reality for the first time.
Rooar~
The White Tiger that emerges from Silvan von Rosegard"s Quantum Beast is a young one. It was a white-furred tiger cub with black stripes. A quantum beast grows in strength in proportion to how powerful its master becomes over time. Silvan was overjoyed when he saw the white tiger cub in front of him. The quantum beast"s birth indicates that he has fully awakened as a Mediator. This tiger cub grows alongside him as he trains to become stronger. His eyes sparkled with delight as he grabbed his tiger cub and dashed out of his room to tell his family the good news.
Mama Rosegard was in the kitchen, and Papa Rosegard was discussing military matters with his eldest son, Stephen von Rosegard. Suddenly, the youngest member of the family appeared, holding a white tiger cub and beaming with joy.
Silvan von Rosegard exclaims, "Mom, Dad, Brother! I did. I"ve awakened! I"ve become a Mediator!! Look. Look. This cute little thing is my Quantum Beast!"
The three people who had been summoned were taken aback by what the youngest had said. They all turned to face him, and they saw him holding a white tiger cub. Especially for Papa Rosegard and Stephen von Rosegard, both warriors by birth. They are acutely aware of the presence and scent of another person"s quantum beast.
Papa Rosegard said, "It"s real. It"s definitely real! Our baby really awakened at such a young age!"
"R-Really!? Honey, you are not kidding me?" Mama Rosegard said as she asked her husband. She is only an ordinary person. So she wasn"t sure whether the little thing in her son"s embrace was a quantum beast or a real beast cub. Now that her husband declared her youngest had awakened, her happiness reached its peak.
Stephen von Rosegard took the tiger cub in his younger brother"s embrace, struggling in his hands, and said, "It is really a tiger cub, but why is it white? A mutation? Do you feel any different Silvie?" He asked worriedly.
Silvan von Rosegard said, "No. I don"t feel any difference."
In reality, he was aware that his tiger had mutated. He had a strong healing ability, and his compatibility with most warriors was greater than 30. The Grand Marshal appears to have the lowest score of 10. Even though he is a warrior, that monster"s mental abilities are far too powerful, but he is aware of this because that man is an Adjudicator, albeit a rare Arbitrator capable of wielding both quantum beast and elemental abilities.
A quantum beast or elemental ability can be inherited by a warrior. People born with either of these abilities are known as Adjudicators, while those born with Quantum Beast and strong mental abilities are known as Mediators. They were, however, physically weaker. Arbitrators are rare warriors born with Quantum Beast, Elemental Ability, and Mental Ability. The Grand Marshal is the only arbitrator in the Imperium if not the entire world. That is why he is the strongest; if it weren"t for his chaotic mania, he would be the most desired man in the world.
Silvan von Rosegard dispersed his Mental Abilities throughout the area. He was already expecting to have an impact on his father and brother by healing their mental health issues. When the two noticed that the healing rate of their mental injuries had increased due to Silvan"s healing ability, they immediately recognized the effect of mutation on Silvan"s white tiger cub.
Papa Rosegard and Stephen von Rosegard looked at one another and stared at the youngest in disbelief.
"You can heal anyone regardless of pairing?!" The two warriors in the family exclaim.
Silvan von Rosegard pretends to be unable to understand what his father and older brother are saying. The two felt that things were more serious than they appeared. If their youngest could truly cure anyone, regardless of whether or not they are paired. His existence would be the most unique, and many people would desire him.
Stephen von Rosegard said, "Try to focus your healing on me. I want to check on something."
"Okay,~" Silvan von Rosegard said and used his Mental Abilities to cure his brother"s mental qi contamination.
As expected, Stephen von Rosegard"s Quantum Beast didn"t reject his brother"s Mental Qi and slowly slept while getting himself healed. A huge Siberian tiger was peacefully sleeping in his Quantum World.
"Dad, it"s real. There is no rejection at all. It seems Silvie"s Healing had more compatibility than the other Mediators. But maybe because we are family there is no rejection. We must check on someone first to make sure." Stephen von Rosegard said.
Papa Rosegard frowned and summoned one of his devoted subordinates, and Silvan von Rosegard cured him. The results show that Silvan can truly cure him, as expected. Those on the Rosegard Clan"s side were overjoyed to see the youngest Rosegard awakened and a mutated Mediator. They no longer have to be concerned about going insane like the Grand Marshal.
Only the Rosegard Family knew that things were going to be difficult now that their youngest healing ability was something to be desired. They had the impression that things were not as simple as they had been. Stephen von Rosegard was aware of the issue caused by Silvan von Rosegard"s mutated healing ability. Yes, it was useful. But the Rosegards aren"t all that powerful. There are numerous Count Families in the Imperium, and theirs is not the strongest.
"Dad, Brother, what is wrong?" Silvan von Rosegard asked. He couldn"t understand why his father and brother seemed to be extremely worried about his mutated ability. Isn"t it supposed to be good news?
"Don"t worry, Silvie. We will definitely protect you." Stephen von Rosegard looked serious and looked at his father, "Dad, what should we do? To protect Silvie we cannot remain neutral. Or he would be taken away from us."
"Steph, Honey, what do you mean? Is your brother in danger?" Mama Rosegard asked worriedly.
Papa Rosegard said, "Let me think for a bit."
Silvan was also uneasy, and he couldn"t figure out why. In his previous life, he awoke late, and his family was already in disarray. His brother died recently, and his parents are in mourning. There was no time to rejoice over his awakening. So when he awoke, his parents were in despair; at the time, he couldn"t understand and only cared about one thing: protecting his family.
So, in order to protect their family, he went in search of the Grand Marshal, who was said to have gone insane. Even though he nearly died that time, he did win the bet. He was able to heal the Grand Marshal sufficiently to restore his rationality. The Grand Duke ended up protecting the Rosegard Clan. But he had no idea if he had been so unlucky in his previous life, when his cousin Megan Sh.e.l.ley had betrayed him and murdered him. Though he didn"t know what happened after his death, he could already see the crazy Grand Marshal storming into the Royal Family and murdering everyone.
Silvan von Rosegard spoke, "Are you worried about me? There is no need. I know whom to seek protection from. So our family can survive. Let"s ask the Grand Duke. In exchange for me curing him, we can ask him to protect our family."
His mother, father, and brother were all stunned. They could make out what Silvan von Rosegard was saying. It was the best decision because no one is stronger than the Grand Duke. If they can take him under their wing, the Rosegard Clan will be able to survive as long as the Grand Marshal is alive.
Papa Rosegard said, "Sweetie, if it was before this choice would have been the greatest one but... we cannot join the side of the Grand Duke."
"Why? I"m sure that my ability is useful to him. He wouldn"t decline for sure!" Silvan von Rosegard said.
He noticed his older brother taking something from the table and handing it to him to read. Silvan was perplexed at first until he realized it was a Palace decree. Even the Emperor himself wrote it. Silvan read the t.i.tle of the decree, his whole body trembling slightly. A large letter was written on it with the words "Bestow Marriage," as if mocking him.
Stephen von Rosegard said, "This is given by the Emperor personally to me before I go home. The verbal agreement of Marriage between you and the Second Prince had become a decree. Before I had the feeling that the Royal didn"t want our Rosegard Clan to be involved in the political fight that involves the throne so he never approved the engagement you have with the Second Prince."
"All of a sudden, one day, the Second Prince declared that he was stepping down from the race to the throne, and the Emperor at first, did not believe it. Moreover, at every royal meeting would ask the Emperor to officiate your Marriage with him but it was always declined. There was even the Crown Prince siding with the second prince about the marriage which no one had expected."
"Everyone in the Palace knew that the Emperor was not siding with any prince or princess to the throne. Only when the existence of the Youngest Prince came to light that the Emperor show that he was siding with the youngest prince. Because of this, all the requests of the second prince were approved; he was removed from the throne and even approved of your engagement with him."
"What was shocking is that after receiving this Decree of Marriage the Second Prince announced that he would never side with any prince or princess and would not get him involved or else he would retaliate. That"s why we can go seek the Grand Duke as in the eyes of all the Royalty and n.o.bles, we are already tied with the Second Prince."
"Has he gone insane?" Silvan von Rosegard stated. He was talking about the Second Prince.
His younger brother"s reaction was not what he had expected. Stephen von Rosegard expected to be relieved to learn that his marriage had been approved by the Royal Family. But it appears that things have changed; his younger brother no longer appears to like the Second Prince and has even shown disdain and obvious hatred towards Christopher Klein von Imperlian.
Mama and Papa Rosegard were equally taken aback. They also expected their youngest son to react in this manner. After all, they"d seen how much their baby adored and was even obsessed with the Second Prince. Enough to beg his father and elder brother for his a.s.sistance in tying the knot between the two. They were even childhood sweethearts, so their relationship was approved by their family.
Unfortunately, because the Second Prince is a Royalty and one of the heirs, getting their Engagement approved was difficult. They suspected their Youngest was depressed and had locked himself in his room because the second prince hadn"t visited in a while. They were surprised to see him training because he was about to awaken. But there would be daily gifts for him, and they knew the Second Prince"s feelings for Silvan were genuine.
Who would have guessed that their youngest no longer liked and, for some reason, despised the Second Prince?
The thoughts of the Rosegard Clan except for Silvan von Rosegard, "What the heck happened between their youngest and the second prince? They"ve suddenly switched roles."

Meanwhile at the First Military Imperial School
The school announced a special event. It"s a small compet.i.tion that results in intern positions in military frontline troops. In a nutsh.e.l.l, an event that will put students" fighting abilities, strategic capabilities, and teamwork to the test. The event was mandatory for all students.
It was mandatory for the Adjudicators and Mediators Departments, but the Ordinary Department allowed those interested in joining the military to do so as well.
