Chapter 251: The Future Is Unclear

Somewhere in District Four, in a Victorian-style mansion.

A man with messy black hair walked back and forth in front of the main room.

Several times, he stood before the door with a curious gaze, wanting to enter the room. However, he knew his King’s order contained a death sentence if he violated the order.

On the other hand, he was also worried that something might happen to his King if he didn’t act now. After a few moments, he decides to enter to warn him. However, a voice from behind stops him.

"Sir Sebastian, why are you looking anxious!?"

Sebastian looked back and saw a man in a black suit walk toward him. He took a deep sigh before answering him.

"Butler Jallen, I’m worried about His Grace. I warned him a few times not to use this risky method, but he refused to hear me—" Sebastian shook his head before fixing his gaze back on the tightly closed door.

Jallen stood before Sebastian, wearing the same expression as his, worried and curious about what happened inside — Their Grace had already been in the room for about a day, and he never left it. They also didn’t hear any movement inside. This made them even more worried because what their master was doing was very dangerous. It could endanger his weak soul.

After some time, Jallen, who broke the silence, gazed at Sebastian.

"Did His Grace successfully control Eric’s body?" Jallen asked curiously.

Sebastian smirked, hearing Jallen’s question. "What the hell, Jallen!? You think Our Grace is weak?" He shook his head before continuing. "Even though his strength is not fully back, but with that power, he can easily destroy this realm if he wants. Taking an offer of a human’s body was a plaything for him, easy..."

Jallen silently gulped. Indeed, he agrees with Sebastian. Not seeing their King use his powers for too long made him forget their King was mighty.

"But, Sir... why do you look so worried?" Jallen asked Sebastian, noticing his anxious expression as he gazed at the door.

"I’m afraid His Grace will forget what he wanted to do after seeing Lady Iris. He might forget to return and decide to stay there..." Sebastian glances again at Jallen. "You know Our Grace’s weakness, right?"

"Y-yes. Lady Iris was his weakness. Only Lady Iris could make him agree to anything she asked, not even his father."

"That’s why I’m so fucking worry right now," Sebastian scratched his head feeling helpless. What worried him the most was the news he had just learned from his people on the field. If the news was correct, His Grace might be in grave danger.

After seeing Sebastian’s expression turn dark, Jallen couldn’t help but ask, "What happened, sir? Why do you seem afraid of something? Something bothering you now?"

Sebastian didn’t answer him immediately, but he walked toward the large glass window at the end of the corridor. Behind him, Jallen followed curiously.

After looking at the greenery in the distance, he turned to look at Jallen, who stood beside him.

"Do you remember what happened a few months ago? Our base was attacked?"

"Of course, I remember," Jallen said with a solemn expression. "That incident really made his grace very devastated and upset," he paused to take another deep sigh, feeling angry with that incident. He was very curious because, until now, they didn’t know who the person behind the attack was. "Sir, did you find out who did it?"

Sebastian suppressed his anger before he answered Jallen, "I did. After a few months, my people finally got a clue. And, the one who was responsible for that was a God of War right-hand man—"

"Wh-What!! Sir... Sir Sebastian, you mean... The dark angel Lucian, who did that!?" Jallen couldn’t believe what he was hearing. How could Lucian appear in this lower realm? Even in the middle realm, Lucian rarely appears.

Sebastian didn’t answer Jallen’s question. He looked back at the distant scenery. Although the mountain scenery looked beautiful, with green trees lining up beneath the clear blue sky, Sebastian couldn’t enjoy it even a bit. His mind was too busy to think about their dark future.

Later,

Sebastian felt Jallen still staring at him, carrying a curiosity from his gaze. He glanced at him before continuing, "You seem to forget about something, Jallen..."

"Forgot?" Jallen frowned. "Did I?" he asked in confusion.

Sebastian didn’t bother to explain to him. He fixed back his gaze outside the window. However, a few moments later, he heard Jallen curse.

"Bloody hell!! If... If... Lucian in this realm... it means—" Jallen covers his mouth with his hand, too frightened to say his name. That person is the one who brings them destruction.

Jallen could only stare at Sebastian with wide-open eyes as if he wanted him to explain further, to answer his curiosity.

Sebastian took a deep sigh, looking at how shocked Jallen was now. He also feels that way when he knows Lucian appears in this realm. Even though he didn’t find any trace of that person, he believed that person must be in this realm, too.

That’s why Sebastian feels worried about his King. What if that person is with Lady Iris now? What will happen to his master? Just thinking about it is enough to make Sebastian fearful.

"S-Sir, if Lord Lucian is in this realm, it means—"

"Yes. He is also here. Even though I still have not found his trace, I believe he is here." Sebastian turns to see Jallen again. "What I’m afraid of is Lord Xavier already found Lady Iris before our King. If this happens, you might picture what will happen. The war will proceed again."

Looking at how dark Sebastian’s expression was now, Jallen could guess what he thought. He somehow felt that way, too.

At the Emerald Island.

Iris sat opposite Eric, waiting for him to comment on the steak she had made for him. He looks at him, slowly eating the slice of meat while smiling at her.

His smile was enough to make her even more nervous. "Brother, please stop smiling! Can you just tell me the taste... Does it taste good? Do you like it?" She feels anxious.
