Chapter 307: Unexpected News

Yale yawned while hearing the variety of speeches that different people said in the celebration ceremony for the first-year anniversary of the end of the war; he didn’t like that kind of events, but Revgen forced him to listen.

In fact, Revgen wanted to make Yale say a speech too, but because Yale awakened too late, the schedule couldn’t be modified, and Revgen needed to conform with forcing Yale to listen. Of course, Revgen needed to say a long speech, so he felt that it would have been better if he had dragged his good friend with him.

After the most formal speeches ended, the kids rescued in the war started to pay their respects to those who saved them, which was a very long process as there were too many kids and even if they were speaking by groups and not individually, there were still too many of them.

At that moment, Revgen also went to seat in the VIP area with Yale and was yawning as much as Yale. Fortunately, no one could see them from the outside, or the fact the emperor was yawning out of boredom while hearing those kids would have been a great shock for everyone.

“Did you stop fearing showing yourself to others?”

Revgen showed himself in public a lot lately given that even a statue of him was made, but previously he had been hiding from everyone.

“Yes, I didn’t notice it at the start, but this whole continent had been completely isolated from the outside, no matter if it is people from other worlds or from the other continent, any possibility of interaction is now impossible.

Thus, I don’t need fearing to show myself because an enemy can’t discover me. Of course, with a second level World Authority like yours, it wouldn’t pose any threat to you to cross the isolation barrier.”

When Revgen was ending his words, he remembered that Yale was planning to leave the continent and clarified that Yale wouldn’t have any problem.

Hearing Revgen’s words, Yale felt like if he knew why the continent was isolated and who did it, but he was unable to remember it despite feeling that was something he knew. Yale didn’t have any doubt about that those memories had been blocked for some reason.

“I see.”

Yale didn’t say anything about his intuition that Liye had some relationship with that because he didn’t have any proof

After some hours since the ceremony started, the speeches finally ended, and the party started.

“This had been too long, why did you plan such a boring schedule?”

Neither Yale nor Revgen had any need to sleep daily with their current levels, but they felt like if they were falling asleep at any moment while hearing those seemingly countless speeches.

“Usually is Nurvey the one who plan this kind of things, but since she was in that dimension of yours when the planning started, I let some of the elders plan it. Truly, a bad idea, a very bad idea.”

Revgen was regretting his decision and swore that wouldn’t happen again because that had been boring to death.

At that moment, a servant knocked on the door.

“Emperor, there are a man and a woman requesting a meeting with someone that is inside the VIP room with you. They are called Durgan and Birgh.”

Usually trying to meet the Emperor in that kind of way would be a great sin. However, judging the action wasn’t something the servant could decide. If for any reason a servant kicked off someone that the Emperor wanted to see, that servant wouldn’t have a good future.

“Let them pass.”

Revgen knew that those two spoke with Yale the previous day, so he guessed that they had come to say something to Yale. After all, it wasn’t difficult to deduce where Yale since even his statue was placed in the same place as Revgen’s statue.

“We pay our respects to the Emperor and the Great Hero.”

Durgan and Birgh greeted Revgen politely after entering the VIP area, in which only Revgen and Yale were at that moment.

Yale and Revgen weren’t shocked by their greeting because that was a standard formality, but they didn’t expect that there was a third voice saying that greeting.

“Yale, my friend, I am sorry to disturb you, but I heard from Lar that you all were departing today after this even ended, and we needed to speak with you.”

Durgan was straightforward speaking to clarify that the only reason for their impolite visit was that they wouldn’t have another chance later.

“Feel free to speak, but I hope that you aren’t planning to come with me.”

Durgan and Birgh were too weak, and both planned to take care of some of the kids that wouldn’t have a place to return, so Yale hoped that they wouldn’t follow him because those kids needed them far more.

“No, it isn’t that. I would lie if I say that I am not tempted, but I have important things to do in the Revgen Empire, so I can’t follow you.”

Yale nodded as Durgan said a reply that was worthy of his honorable personality.

“We come because of this little girl; she is from the Roanmad Clan like you.”

Birgh said those words, but her face paled at the same time she saw that Yale’s face blackened in anger.

“Sorry, Yale. Birgh failed to measure her words previously. We knew that you have some relationship with them and this little girl is worried about her brother who seemed to flee before the clan switched sides. We only thought that maybe you had heard of him.”

It wasn’t difficult to know that Yale was related to the Roanmad Clan, but Durgan knew that Yale didn’t like to be related with it since Swordmad lived at the Larken Clan’s headquarters for a whole year.

“I know that the Roanmad Clan had been reconstructed, but all the members fled together, so as far as I know someone who fled alone, shouldn’t be there, but tell me that person’s name.”

Although Yale didn’t want to be related with the Roanmad Clan, he felt that it wasn’t wrong hearing the words of the little girl worried about her brother. After all, Yale remembered the names of the members of the Roanmad Clan in the scroll created by Liye, so at least he would be able to confirm if that person betrayed the empire or not.

“My brother is called Blackor…”

The little girl spoke with an almost inaudible voice filled with fear as she was in front of the two alive Great Heroes of the Revgen Empire.

Yale’s shock when hearing that name was enormous. That name wasn’t on the traitor list, but Blackor was the first opponent Yale face after being born in the Roanmad Clan gathering before he almost died saving Ange.

Moreover, Yale felt that the Blackor that the little girl was speaking of was the same one he had battled in the past as that was quite a weird name, and Yale didn’t believe there was someone else with that name in the Roanmad Clan.

“That is a nostalgic name; I still remember when I beat him years ago. However, I have no news of him, but he didn’t betray the empire despite his father, your father, betrayed it. That is worthy of recognizing.”

Yale didn’t know if Blackor was still alive or not, maybe the Nacesai Academy or the Roanmad Clan had some kind of token to check it, but Yale had no means to do the same.

The little girl wasn’t surprised that her father was a traitor because the one who sold her to the True Empire and made her live in that underground room was no other than her father. As for Blackor, he ran with all his strength once he started to notice that something wrong was happening to the clan when he saw how a soul mark was being put on some members by coincidence.

He didn’t know what a soul mark was, nor what the effect was, but he heard the conversation the others had, and swearing absolute loyalty to someone wasn’t something that fit with his personality, so he fled.

“Anyway, you should return to the Roanmad Clan with the other kids belonging there. If Blackor has survived, and now wants to find you, the first place he would go is the new Roanmad Clan.”

The little girl nodded timidly after hearing Yale’s words. One of her biggest fears was that Blackor had been caught and chose to follow the True Empire.

“Thank you, Yale. This had been a great help for her.”

After Durgan spoke the three of them bowed simultaneously towards Yale. At that moment, Durgan’s group was going to leave the VIP area, but a voice stopped them.

“Alright, now is my time to ask questions.”

No one expected that Revgen would speak at that point, but Durgan, Birgh and the little girl didn’t dare to argue about that because the one speaking was the Emperor and they were the ones who went to the VIP area without the formal procedures.

“First, send the little girl off. This isn’t related to her”

The servant, who had opened the door previously and stayed inside the room since that moment, took the little girl and left the room without anyone complaining about it.

“Well, when are you two going to marry? I hope that you two didn’t expect to marry after the child was born.”
