Chapter 239 238: A Sneak Peak [Pt2]



"Emperor Adam, you are getting a communication signal from the royal palace. Lucas Dirac wants to talk to you. Should I hand the communication over to you?"

The soldier maintained his distance as he brought the small device closer to the emperor. Their emperor was known to have a short temper and could fly into a rage if provoked. What was more? There would be no way to stop him until he was satisfied.

And as things stood, the killing and blood caused his bloodlust to boil out of proportion and threaten everyone else. No one wanted to be the emperor\'s next victim so they maintained their distance from him.

But once in a while, one of the soldiers was chosen as the scrap goat to ensure their emperor did not die and received proper human communication after a tiring battle.

And this time, it just happened to be the turn of this poor soldier.

"Huh? From brother Lucas? Then what are you doing holding on to it? Hurry up and hand it over to me."

Emperor Adam was calm, but the soldier who stood opposite him still felt shivers go down his spine as he watched the emperor question him.

He could see the red aura combined with the anger surrounding the emperor and was deathly afraid that he would be killed.

\'Mother, father, please remember me if I happen to perish right now. I don\'t think I can take the emperor\'s anger anymore.\'

The soldier prayed as he walked toward the emperor and handed the device over.

The emperor\'s claws tightened around the small spear just a fraction and the soldier felt his heart stop beating. Golden eyes met him and the soldier quickly bowed.

And just like that, the soldier ran away at the first chance he got. He had a feeling that he would not get such an amazing chance once again.

The emperor watched the soldier run away from him in a hurry. He could not understand what had terrified the soldier so much but it was not an uncommon sight for him. That was why he did not think much about it as he let the soldier go.

After all, he had a much more important job to do than to chase after unknown people.

"Lucas Dirac, what is it that you called me out for? I hope you have good news for me."

Adam did not beat around the bush with his questions. He respected Lucas Dirac a ton but he was also the emperor. As such, there was a certain code of conduct he had to maintain, and bowing down to Lucas was not it.

Lucas seemed not to be too offended by his easy address which was a relief. Their relationship was a little sour but they both were trying to salvage it little by little.

"I am alright. As for the news I carry with me, it can be good or not depending on how you view it. In short, we have a way to connect to the other world now."

Lucas Dirac was blunt as well but he did not seem to be lying. His words were like a ray of hope for Adam.

They also reminded him of the small mirror in his hands and what he saw in it. He was sure that this \'mirror of Isis\' would play an important role in the future as well. After all, hadn\'t it managed to create a portal before as well?

\'Huh, when did that happen? I can remember that it was a big deal, but what happened back then?\'

Every time Adam tried to remember, he was hit with a searing headache. His brain said not to focus on what he was thinking about since it was not important. But Adam\'s heart knew that he needed to remember.

He could see flashes of black in the back of his mind. They were accompanied by blue and a familiar complexion of white.

The picture was becoming clear and Adam felt like he could even put a face to that figure in his memories.  It was weird but Adam could not help but this that this was how it was supposed to be in the first place.

"Emperor Adam, are you alright? Are you hurt somewhere? Should we have the palace physicians on standby?"

Adam sounded worried and it was a given. They could not afford to lose their emperor in these trying times.

Since their crown prince was still a baby and incapable of using the royal family\'s massive amounts of power, it was even more important for the emperor to be alive.

"Nah, I am alright. I also have Eve here with me and her support is better than anything a royal physician can do. I just think I am feeling a little under the weather lately. It\'s nothing to be worried about."

Even though Adam said that he knew that his headache was not normal. It was a result of him trying to remember against this world\'s magic.

It was dreadful to realize that you were this powerless to go against fate and change your destiny. But at the same time, this proved that it was not impossible to change your future and to change who you were.

It finally proved that Adam had a fighting chase against whatever this world was about to throw at him next.

"I see. In that case, do hurry and come back. There are guests here that you might find interesting and they might also be able to help us get Elysia back."

Adam\'s heart skipped a beat as he remembered the owner of those bright blue eyes. His heart and soul called for the owner of those beautiful features but he had to hold back.

"I-I see. In that case, both I and Eve will return to the palace shortly. Do you need us to pick up something?"

Adam asked this question, but he also dreaded the answer he would get. After all, it would delay his return and make him waste precious time.

But there were things only he could do as the descendent of the dragon. And Eve was also the Saintess. They would be the safest choice to send anywhere that needed a little bit of manpower.

From Lucas\'s thinking expression, it seemed like he was hesitant to say what he needed. He did not want to burden the emperor when he was busy enough already.

But luckily, the others around him did not seem to have the same limitation. Especially the unknown person who suddenly put his arm around Lucas\'s shoulder.

"Get the Mirror of Isis if you can. That thing can help us out a lot."

The unknown man said as he leaned even harder into Lucas Dirac. But what surprised Adam was that Lucas Dirac just let it happen.

He did look a little annoyed but the feeling of being uncomfortable looked to be nowhere to be found on Lucas Dirac\'s expression.

"Noctis, get off of me or I will kill you. And Emperor Adam, there is no need for you to go out of your way for such a thing. Just come back for now and then we can discuss further what we need to do."

​ Lucas Dirac looked offended but also so done with the other man. Adam was about to comment on their close relationship before he realized the requested item.

He quickly looked at his hand where he held the mirror and decided to raise it.

"So about that Mirror of Isis. I think we have this part covered for now. Is there anything else you might need?"

A tense silence followed Adam\'s words and he was not sure if he should speak up further or not. He was not sure of a lot of things but he did know that he had done well.

He was ready to go out of his way for more treasures if it meant that he would get to meet Elysia again. That one look had been far from enough. Next time, he wanted to pull Elysia out and into the open.

Everyone else on the other side looked on in stunned silence at Adam\'s good luck. They had no idea what they could say to break the tension.

"Ha..haha… hahaha. Of course, Emperor Adam managed to find the Mirror of Isis even without us mentioning it. He is the main character of this world after all."

Enma\'s laughter sounded around the room, finally causing the tension to breaking. Everyone else blinked as soon as they heard that hysterical laughter before looking at Ema.

But the younger just kept on laughing, now clutching his belly in an attempt to make it hurt less.

"Anyway Adam, you need to get back with that thing. And whatever you do, do not allow the Mirror to break. We will need it for the ceremony."

Noctis asked as he pointed toward the Mirror in Adam\'s hand. Adam clutched the Mirror harder in his hand with his mind made up. He would be back soon with this mirror.
