Their entry into the throne room wasn"t a quiet affair. Introduced by the guard outside, Henrietta had barely the time to step in that the was nearly crushed by her mother hug, forgetting protocol for once, seeing her daughter alive and well.

The king was barely trusting his eyes. For him, it was only a day since Alex should have entered the iland, that he had already brought her back led to the simple but crucial question.

"How? It hadn"t been more than a day since you should have departed from Tarbes. You should have barely the time to attain La Roch.e.l.le by now en enter the Island if the condition were good enough for the ship to fly!"

"I may be so, but I was able to use the dragon plumage as a basis to construct the necessary means to join the island in a few hours rather than day. I could tell you everything that had happened, but it better to show you all."

"Show us?"

"Yes."

At this, Alex fate to retrieve a large stone bowl from the pouch on his side. Activating the runes, the pensive float in the air, before he retrieves the memories. before starting, he warns the ones present in the rooms, the king, queen, Agnes, Henrietta, Tiffania and the counsel of the king made of his marshal and his minister and a representant of the church of Brimir cult.

"I must warn you all that some of the memories are not for the faint of heart."

"What a kid like you know of a man fort.i.tude, start it already, some of us had an important duty to see off."

He says nothing but file the man in a corner of his mind.

"It will take a little time, some of the memories will be accelerated, just ask if you want me to stop or lower the speed."

Receiving a nod from the king, he starts the memories at his entry in La Roch.e.l.le, on his hoverboard.

##################################

"This," Say him."Was of three days prior."

His track wasn"t played, he directly goes for the moment when he enters the room where Louise and Wardes were having s.e.x. He hears a few gaps from the audience. This wasn"t an activity made to be witnessed, at least not here.

To not skip any charge they would receive, he let play the entire travel in their memories. As soon that it was known that House Valliere, by a.s.sociation with Louise had been plotting the end of the Royal Family, he hears some curse from the king, Agnes, and the marshal. The heavy implication of Wardes would see him dead by the end of the day.

"Could you stop here for now, please, I have some question." Asked Marianne, the mother of Henrietta, to Alex.

"Yes?"

"Why not return Henrietta directly, she was already rescued?"

"Simple, the Albian Army was a treat to Tristain, and I made a promise to save someone from the army, Henrietta wasn"t in any danger."

"Are you say that you take care of an entire army on your own?! I have never here more blatant lies! I ..."


Completely dismissing the raving church representant, he continues the memories. He heard some wonder at the sight of his aircraft, and easily catch the greed of the same man at it. When he saw it fly over the sea at astonishing speed, he interrupts them.

"You must release this contraption into the church custody, you are not able to see the danger such a thing represent!"

"I build it, I keep it."

"It came from the dragon plumage, a relic that the church has declared sacred, thus coming into the protection of the church, you must release this other relic in our more capable end this instance!" The barking of the raving man didn"t fool anyone.

"No." His straight refusal swipe the man sneer from his arrogant face.

"You!" Sputtering him."Do you understand that you will be branded as a heretic if you don"t comply with the church order?!"

"Go on, I don"t believe in the slaver you call the fonder."

Safe from Tiffania, all take a step back at them, but the man of the church let an evil smile blossom on his face.

##################################

"Guards!"

As his shoot, ten fully armoured men in blood-red armours, burst from the door fo the throne room.

"Arrest this heretic and bring him into the front of the pope of Romalia, he had stolen a sacred relic!"

At once the ten guards draw large two-handed swords and swoops at him. Some expected blood, blood did fall, but only from the ten guards. All fall before able to near him further than five meters.

Each of them had cracked helmets, the end of throwing knives barely visible from them.

"You..." Before he could finish his threat, he also receives a knife that burst his head and embedded into the wall behind.

"Now that the rubbish is taken out, does anyone wish to interrupt again?"

Receiving no word, he restarts the pensive. They all a.s.sist in the ma.s.sacre of the eighteen soldiers at Tiffania house, but he skips the rest.

##################################

What truly strikes fear in their heart was his ability to wipe out 30,000 men in a few seconds. The death of Whales was a sad day for the royal family weeping at wiped out Tudor line, and Alex judges better to not share about Tiffania father.

The sight of the burning another half of the army had some retching It was only now that they understand that while Alex could be accommodating, he was also a ruthless murderer against anyone wronging him.

From the past even of the day, the king was now reconsidering to reward him. His feud with the church will bring them its wrath on them too, and they won"t be able to bear the weight of it. The ma.s.s would turn against them and they would be subject to the same end as the Tudor Line.

##################################

Alex, keeping an eye on all of them, shake his head. While he could understand that they are unwilling to help, throwing away all he had done to them just by fear a possible conflict was the final nail.

"In the end, he was like any others, using those capable enough, before throwing them away the moment they became a hindrance. So be it, I was starting to become sick of this world. Once I deal with Joseph as the last threat to the kingdom, it will be time for me to return."

##################################

The memories ending, he gives a good kick in the chest he had put on the floor. Out of it came Louise and Wardes in a rather pitiful state. With nothing inside, they had long since soiled themselves.

Casting a cleaning charm on them and inside the chest because of the smell. Alex exit the room without another word, followed by Tiffania.

##################################

While they were exiting the castle, the king had called from the two other Valliere.

"Have you came to a decision?"

"Yes, as the elder daughter of the Valliere, I would be the one to inherit the t.i.tle, but after the crime, I shall bear the fault of my father and let the Valliere territory returned o the king."

"Hum. Very well, concerning the Vallier House, further evidence had been bringing to my attention. Should you had not abdicated the authority on the territory, I would have been forced to make you share your younger sister fate.

A public announcement will be made tomorrow, you can excuse yourself."

Both bowing, they exit the room, before Eleonore speaks to Cattleya.

"As father had split what should have been my inheritance, I shall take control of House de la Fontaine in your steed. Your presence his no longer required and accepted in those land. Once you possession gathered you are on your own for no one."

Without waiting from her to respond, Eleonore left the poor now disavowed young, sick woman that was once her sister to fend off on her own, condemning her to her death as she was defenceless.

##################################

Cattleya couldn"t still properly made her mind on what happened the previous hour. The Valliere House finished, her sister stealing what was her and left to die on the side of the road. She knows that her family never show great unity, but even for her older sister it was a new low.

She had heard that it was only when people were at their lowest that they will show their true face. When she had returned to the room they share, she had found her affairs ransacked, her propriety t.i.tle nowhere to be found and Eleonore vanished.

Without those, she would b=never be able to show proves that she was the real owner of those land, as it had never been made public, all would think that it rightfully belong to her older sister.

Roaming the capital, she had been found by a rather strange man, that offers her a night in his inn, before she hit the road.

She had been thankful from his offer, more so when he had accepted all her animal without question, as long as they don"t disturb the other customer.

As she was going down for lunch, still thankful to have a little money spared, She encounters her.

She had briefly seen her not a few hours before, with Alex, the one that had to save the king and the princess life.

The two had shared a meal and she had found herself soon tearing her griefs at the girl. It was only now sharing them that their weight crushes her. She was left alone, all alone without anyone to support her. While she hates needing the help of others, she was forced to realise that she was completely lost in this world. She had always been sheltered in the Valliere house.

Now that she had to fend for herself, she realises how bleak was her future.

##################################

Tiffania couldn"t help but share a tear for the older girl, exposed once more at the viciousness of the n.o.ble. Unscrupulous to ruin any life to keep their own. She couldn"t leave her alone. Not when knowing that she was destined to her husband.

"Cattleysan, I might have a solution to both your problem, but it would mean giving yourself entirely, mind and body."

The girl facing her dry her tears, hope lightening her darken future.

"What I need to do?"

She had been raised as n.o.ble, knowing that one day, she might be exchanged for securing further the statue of the Valliere House, since she wasn"t the heir. She had long since made her mind to the fact that she will perhaps be nothing more than a glorified trophy from her husband and in some worse case a bargaining chip to seal some deal for his a.s.sociated, pa.s.sing through the hands of different man to satisfies their l.u.s.t.

Now alone she was completely lost, if the young man she had seen with her had taken an interest in her body, she would perhaps be able to convince him to take care of her, even if she had to sell herself to him, it wouldn"t matter. she doesn"t have a goal anymore, nothing to stay alive for.

##################################

Hearing until where she was ready to go, Tiffania was pitying the poor, sweet woman, knowing that her husband and sisters would have their work cut for her. It will be long and difficult, but she had faith in them, that they will be able to heal her. Now all that was left was for her Hubby to return after taking care of Joseph before they will return and for her to encounter her other sisters.

##################################

Alex has been tracking Sheffield since he hears of her in the report. It didn"t take long from him to understand what she was, a void familiar. Being the agent of Joseph, it wasn"t difficult to know who was the void user.

Ever since they an exited the floating island, he had detected a large life form following behind them. Sneaking back in the palace garden have been child play. Founding the ray menta look-alike flying creature, more so.

By the time he returns after leaving Tiffania into the inn that Siesta shows him, he catches the woman ready to fly away, Henrietta, once again captured.

"I swear this girl is a trouble magnet."

Seeing the inactivity, he could only conclude that no one had discovered that the princess was missing, again.

Once far from the capital, he takes out his rifle, loads a bullet taken from his aircraft and fire at the head of the creature, few centimetres off of Sheffield"s head. The missing brain made it immediately crash, the woman suddenly ejected from her position.

Unwilling to drag it more than necessary, he apparates just feet far. Clutching her head in his hand, she immediately opens her eyes, wakens from the pain.

"You are ..." Before she could finish, her eyes turn blank and he breezes through her mind. Barly hindered by the protection of her rune.

Founding the location of the castle, and the man office, she knocks her out, before taking a hold of Henrietta. Poping her in the room he had taken in the inn. He apparates in the gallian castle with Sheffield in hand.

"Sheffield!"

Stunning the man still sitting behind his desk, he plunges his hand in his body, retrieving the void element in him. Needing a vessel for it, he decides to use his own body.

The second he could feel mix in him, something seems to broke inside his head. Be it the void magic or the rune from the man, his sealed memories return.

-It is good to see you back buddy, even if it was only a few days since the last time we spoke.-

"CS!"

-Yep, I back, baby!-

"It"s good to hear from you again."

-It is good to hear me too. So?-

"What?"

-You know what.-

"Yes, it has nothing to do with anime, each time the people are different, here was the bigger shock. A virgin Kirche, a klutz Henrietta, a traitor Louise, and the poor Cattleya. The Valliere was a wonderful family of trash. She was the only proper human."

-You count take here away?-

"Yes, her, Siesta, Kirche, Henrietta, Tiffania. I only had two jumps left, the Pope void element and the dragon, after that they could be crushed by the elves for all I care, their not worth it."

-You know the way?-

"Joseph did".

##################################

After waking, reading and explaining what happens to the two, Alex pop away, appearing right in from and Julio and Vittorio. The moment Julio go to draw his blade, he was beheaded by Alex knife. Without much delicacies, he tears the last void fragment from the land, poping at Skadi side and gifting her the last fragment.

##################################

In their land, the elves could feel the last fragment of void vanish from the world, the hold of Brimir forever lost.

"Brother, it is time for us to reclaim our lost land, the hero had chosen his bride and will soon take her in his land, gifting us our land back after getting the world rid of the faker!"

The elf speech was answered by the yell of thousands of elves, gathered the lasts day after the first fragment had vanished. The human would know what will strike them. Without the pope or the void magic, they will be defenceless, as they turn their back to the only one that could have saved them.

##################################

Unaware of the war he a triggered, Alex pop into the Kirche room, gather all her belonging, doing the same from Siesta before breaking the enchantments. Chione Flock was popped back in the territory.

Whiskering the woman from the middle of her cla.s.s, he sent her in the inn room, doing the same with Siesta.

As Tiffania had brought the older girl in their room, all were there when he appears with the maid.

"It"s time?" Ask the elf.

"Yes, is it." Say him to Tiffania

"What time?" Lost Siesta ask.

"For you, five to make your choice," Say Alex seriously."I will return to my land and never return here, it"s your first and unique chance to came with me."

"You know that I will stay at your side hubby."

"Me too darling."

"It a maid duty to follow her master."

"I leave my fate in your hand."

Only Henrietta didn"t respond, but she keeps a hold on his shirt while blushing. It was all he needs, and the second latter, all six were gone.

Leaving them at the hand of the house-elves, he pops back, in the heart of the volcano, just in front of the large ma.s.s that was the sealed dragon. Putting his hand on it, they vanish.

##################################

Before he even had a chance to reform and break free, Alex crushes the thing soul, killing one for all the monster that Brimir fail to get rid.

"It good to be home."
