Ss guided them to the strategic room near the throne, besides Ss all the members of the royal court were already waiting for them, Leister, Milia, Karl and of course Orson, as soon as they entered everyone''s attention was drawn by both Lilia and Eris.


    The king noticed that Alice shared some resemble with one of the two new women that arrived at the castle, so it wasn''t hard for him to guess she was Aster''s mother, which of course was enough of a reason for him to be respectful.


    "If the children are monsters... then of course their backing must be terrifying", he thought before taking the initiative to present himself.


    "I''m happy to wee new honorable guests in the royal caste, I''m Luonto''s current king, Orson Millefiore… it''s a pleasure".


    To be honest Orson was marveled by Lilia and Eris''s beautiful appearance, but he wasn''t a fool to look at them with lust, one was for sure an expert above the star tribtion realm, and the other one was the woman he used to think was responsible of most of the evil that was wreaking havoc in Prasil.


    Sarina told her father a resume of the current situation previously, so of course Ss exined the king that Eris was now in a "contract", with Aster which basically meant that there was no way she was the viin of the story.


    Although he still had some doubts, Orson had full trust in Ss, and Ss trusted Aster so, at least for the time being, Eris was weed as an ally.


    That being said both Lilia and Eris only nodded and thenpletely ignored the king, everyone took seat and the discussion started.


    Aster exined all what he has discovered thanks to Eris, he read out loud some of the most important parts in the book Aurelian left behind, Eris had a sarcastic smile as she exined to everyone what truly happened.


    "That woman is called Mylene Karel, shees from the Ash Nether n, just like me she is the heir of her family… of course our families are enemies, because they are backstabbing pieces of trash".


    "I was the one that created the barrier around this gxy, that old man called Aurelian was tricked by Mylene to believe I was the one that was allied with Riga, but she was the one that has been moving the strings from the shadows all this time".


    Orson doubted for a moment but he still asked what was on his mind.


    "If you weren''t the one that caused all this mess… then why didn''t youe here to exin this to one of the previous kings, we could have avoided all this".


    Eris snorted.


    "I used thest of my strength to clean the mess caused by one of the kings you are talking about, I get that you don''t trust me, but the same could be said of me, what can I expect of the descendants of someone like that".


    "After that I lost my capacity to fight head on with Mylene, so I just hid myself and waited for death… but apparently the heavens do have eyes, and here we are", she said as she stole a couple of gazes at Aster.


    Orson wanted to reply but he couldn''t, it was true that the many of the previous kings were rotten to the core, if not for Eris believing Aster was trust worthy, Luonto would have sooner orter fell due to Mylene''s schemes.


    Lilia nodded.


    "I believe in her… the people from the ashher n I heard of were also surnamed Karel, although I don''t know where is this gxy, at the very least I can confirm we aren''t in the heavenly quadrants I know, or I would have already seen the emblems of the ruler families, so if she were lying, she wouldn''t know of that surname since I never told her".


    Aster suddenly remembered the name of the heavenly quadrant from which Aurelian came.


    "Mom, does the name Viridian Griffon Heavenly Quadrant, mean anything to you?".


    Lilia tried to make memory, but nothing of the sort came to her mind.


    "I''m sorry darling, but I haven''t heard anything of that… on the other hand I wasn''t too fond of history back when I lived in the Drage family".


    Aster smiled, imagining his mother when she was "young" being all rebellious like Alice, made him feel amused, but right now it wasn''t the time for that, so he focused in the current situation.


    Ss stepped in the conversation.


    "Kid, I know you constantly pull a miracle after another, but how are we going to deal with someone that could fight head on with that miss… which at some point was able to seal a whole gxy?".


    "Because she isn''t as strong as before, although thanks to the second king''s massacre, she managed to recover a bit, it''s not to the point where we can''t handle her or she would have escaped long ago… Eris what''s the maximum the barrier you created can handle?", said Aster in a serious voice.


    Eris pointed at Lilia.


    "To be able to tear that barrier, one must have reached the peak of the transcending realms… and cultivate in two paths, if one of the two requirements isn''t meet, then it won''t work".


    Needless to say, but everyone in the room with the exception of Aster''s family was in awe to hear the words "cultivate in two paths", of course Sarina and Kana were also surprised, but only because they recently joined.


    Ss sighed; he couldn''t help but ask in a hesitant voice.


    "Kid… seriously just who are you in the outside world?".


    Liliaughed, of course she couldn''t miss the chance to brag about her beloved son.


    "Well for starters, my darling is the legitimate heir of a whole Heavenly Quadrant ?".


    Orson nearly fell from his chair, "I used to believe that being the king of a continent was a high position… and a kid whose age is not too far from my own niece, turned out to be the young master of a family which owns hundreds of thousands ofs", he thought.


    Contrary to what one would expect, Ss didn''t look surprised, but happy, he gave thumps up to his daughter as heughed out loud.


    "What a good "son inw" you found for mess hahaha".


    Sarina fell all the members of the royal court looking at her and she wanted to dig a hole to hide, "This stupid crazy father of mine", she thought.


    Thanks to Ss, the atmosphere of the room stopped being tense, and they continued with the discussion, Aster exined the n to everyone, since Mylene was for sure going to have a couple of tricks up her sleeves, they needed to anticipate to her.


    "She will being in a spirit form, mom and Eris will hide inside the castle, we have a huge advantage since we are aware of that woman''s true self, once we fall out, I will keep her in check… the rest of you take care of the corrupted that will for sure be escorting her, okay?".


    Everyone with the exception of Lilia nodded.


    "Darling… how about I also go with you just in case?", she asked in as worried voice.


    Aster smiled.


    "For this n to work that woman must believe she''s got the upper hand, if she sees you then she will for sure not dare to make her movement, in any fully believe that mom will watch my back".


    Lilia chuckled, "My darling trusts me more than anyone ?", she thought.


    Apparently, they finished the strategic meeting in time, because only a few secondster one of the guards knocked at the door to inform there was a woman approaching the royal castle.


    The captain of the royal guard went with his subordinate, while everyone else also left to the entrance of the castle, with the exception of Lilia and Eris of course.


    Once Lilia saw that everyone left, she put on a smile which was not a smile, ck mes started leaking out of her body as she spoke.


    "My darling isn''t someone who judges others just by what''s on the surface, againstmon sense he believed in you, so if it turns out you lied to him… there won''t be enough of you left to put in a coffin okay?".


    Eris was in awe, she has met other people with the lineage of a dragon, that''s how she could discern, the species from which the Drage family descended… but now that she was seeing Lilia''s attribute in person, she was speechless.


    "What the hell, this is not the level of a descendant… if Lilia were to say she is a pure blood darkness destion dragon, which took human form I would freaking believe her!!!", she thought.


    Still one thing was being surprised and anotherplete thing is being afraid.


    "I didn''t lie we are now bound by the most sacred tradition of my n, the cosmos tree recognized him and I honestly don''t know how can I repay what Aster has done for me… if I ever end up harming him, then I will personally hand my head to you as an apology".


    Lilia''s mes were absorbed back into her body and she returned to her usual calm and gentle self, she saw through the spirit formations used to watch the outside of the castle a pink haired woman stopping in the entrance and she spoke.


    "Well, this is the moment of truth, whether you die or go to "heaven", it will be decided in the next few minutes", said Lilia with a cunning smile on her face.


    Eris frowned her eyebrows.


    "I can understand the dying part… but what did she meant with going to heaven?", she thought.


    While Eris was trying to figure out what Lilia''s words meant, outside of the castle, in the entrance to be more urate, the members of the royal court including the king, Aster, Alice, Aria, Sarina and even Kana, saw a pink haired woman wearing a white dress and a crown made of flowers on top of her head, standing in front of them with a gentle expression on her face.


    After a couple of seconds, a delicate melodious voice broke the silence.


    "As we agreed, I came to see you, visitants from outside, my name is Mylene Karel, it''s a pleasure".
