Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital, Southern Royal Palace, Guest Palace
As Colleen and Aria prepared to leave something unexpected happened, the sealed stone coffin suddenly opened and the figure of the boy waking out of it could be seen. Everyone present in the room was dumbfounded. Especially Lorenzo, whose sole purpose was to understand the trick being the boy’s stunt, and Aria, who had used a curse card to track the boy’s location to sky blossom city.
“Hello, everyone. Look’s like you guys finally managed to make some time for me out of your busy schedule. So which one of you is going to explain to me what is going on here,” I said looking at the shell-shocked Ann, Colleen, and Lorenzo. It seems they were not expecting me to return to the palace, well I don’t blame them I too did not want to return to the palace, since they were avoiding me I wanted to force them to come to me in my city, but was forced to return.
Even though my consciousness had left the stone coffin and traveled to the sky blossom city, I made use of the Hive AI inside the calamity daughter gem of the Stone Viltronian which had morphed into a stone coffin to keep tabs on the hubbub in the palace after I left.
So yes, everything that happened in the immediate vicinity of the stone coffin was recorded by the Hive AI and reported to me. This was how I when to remove the dummy ring from my finger such that Aria could track my location in sky blossom city. Colleen was right I was indeed taunting them.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm I don’t condone eavesdropping but it was a good thing that I eavesdropped on the conversation between Ann, Lorenzo, and Colleen, because if I did not do that then I would not know about the worries of the Southern Royal family, their misunderstandings involving Jill, and lastly that Lorenzo planned to use the stone coffin I left behind to expose the trick behind my teleportation-like stunt.
Even if I were to choose to overlook the over-worrying of the Southern Royal family and their misunderstanding with regard to Jill, I could not ignore the fact that Lorenzo planned to use the stone coffin to learn how I was able to teleport from the palace to the sky blossom city.
Lorenzo was not able to distinguish the Calamity daughter gem and the pseudo calamity soul gem, inside the stone coffin because I had used myriad devil transformations on them to morph them into ego gems, of course, the pseudo calamity soul gem resembled a broken ego gem. As for my abandoned body, it had morphed into the body of a stone elemental and fused with the stone coffin. Giving Lorenzo the impression that if they were to force open the stone coffin they would hurt the person or the corpse inside.
Even with such preparations, I could not guarantee that Lorenzo would not find anything peculiar about the stone coffin and my abandoned body within it especially if he were serious about it and given time. Yes, there were limits to the reaches of a diamond rank card creationist and array master but they had other sophisticated tools at their disposal to help with situations like this, if given time Lorenzo could have uncovered the calamity daughter gem, pseudo calamity soul gem, and their secret.
When I first learned that Lorenzo planned to study the stone coffin to uncover the trick behind my teleportation-like ability, I wanted to have the pseudo calamity soul gem and the Stone Viltronian’s calamity daughter gem to self-destruct but I could not bring myself to do that the Stone Viltronian.
Because over time with the help of their calamity daughter gems the five Stone Viltronian stored in my monster orb not only have begun to comprehend rules but their consciousness have developed to form individuality and grow smarter. According to the Myriad Realm Race Records, the elemental race growing individuality and growing smarter takes nearly a millennium.
The point I was trying to make here was that the Stone Viltronian was not just a pet monster anymore it had grown into a capable subordinate and I did not want to abandon it for my convenience. Stone Viltronian was different from the criminals I recruited using calamity daughter gems, I could not bring myself to dispose of it. If I were to sacrifice the Stone Viltronian I would be in the same group as the three mischiefs who would kill their subordinates in a heartbeat if it meant keeping their secrets from being exposed.
This was how I ended up returning to the royal palace, while I am here I decided to make sure that the Southern royal family doesn’t do something stupid to jeopardize the relationship between us, the Southern royal family was my backing, so yes there was a lot at stake here. especially for me, since I could not afford to lose their backing. I had a list of enemies that would work to eliminate me or force me into slavery as soon as I step out of the Southern Royal family’s shadow.
Therefore, it was really assuring to know that the Southern royal family wanted to protect me and was acting out in my best interest however, their actions were starting to become unreasonable by the day and were getting on my nerve. Thing was that I did not have many options when it came to this all I could do was choose to willingly step out of their shadows to avoid their expectations of me or to endure them, bide my time, and act accordingly as the situation progressed.
Since I choose to return to the palace I have decided to endure the expectations of the Southern Royal family for me, that was only till the silver milk powder project commences without a hitch and till Morningstar University’s new school year commences.
Having decided on a plan, I step out of the stone coffin and return the Stone Viltronian to my monster orb.
