Chapter 1082: 17.9 Fourth Violet Star - Yara von Chrysalis
At the Second Prince's Palace...
The news of the youngest prince spread quickly as it arrived at the Main Palace. The Second Prince, Christopher Klein von Imperlian, had little reaction to the news because it was his own fault that his younger brother's existence had been revealed sooner than expected. He wanted the Crown Prince to concentrate on their younger brother while he did what he wanted.
The second prince appears bored as he pursues the news on his table. His office was not filled with luxury life.his elder brother, nor was it made of the Grand Marshal's low-profile wealth. His location is clearly inferior to the other two. This is because he put more money into people. He can only use his clan's money and fame because he is the child of one of the consorts rather than the Queen. Particularly given the Emperor's lack of support for the Crown Prince, him, or any of his children.
But as someone who came back from the future, he knew that his Imperial Father would give all his support to his youngest son who is also the child of his beloved.
"With how biased that stupid old man, the Crown Prince and the Queen would clash multiple times with the Emperor and the Youngest one. This is better as long as they are busy with each other, it would be easier to control the rest. The only problem is the Imperial Uncle. That monster... ma.s.sacred everyone in the Royal Family after he learned that Silvie died. Not because he loves him but because only he can calm down his mania temporarily. Because Silvie is useful and nothing else." The second prince said. "He is cruel towards the royal family except father. Is it because we were never a part of his family as we don't even have an ounce of his bloodline."
Christopher Klein von Imperlian recalled his death in his previous life. That evil black dragon, along with his quantum beast, ate him alive. Though he had no idea what happened after that, Imperium had to be destroyed by him as well. He can only wait to go insane without Silvie.
The butler of his house arrived after knocking on his door, just as his thoughts were racing through his mind.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
An elderly voice was heard from beyond the door, "Master, a decree from the Main Palace had arrived."
"Come in and give it to me." The Second Prince said.
The Old Butler returned from the Palace with two decrees. To appease his youngest son's detractors, he agreed to the Second Prince stepping down as one of the candidate heirs to the throne. His engagement to Silvan von Rosegard was also approved. It was given as a gift to make up for his exclusion from the compet.i.tion for the crown. The other decree didn't hold his attention, but when he saw the decree that approved his engagement with Rosegard, his eyes lit up.
An obsessed smile appeared at the corner of his lips as he read the decree of marriage in his hand. "This is it! The one I've been dreaming of getting. As long as I have this, no one else but I can marry Silvie! Hahaha~"
His insane laughter echoes throughout his palace, frightening even his servants and soldiers. They couldn't understand why their master, who used to hide all of his emotions behind a smile, had suddenly gone insane. He is particularly obsessed with the Rosegard Family's second son.

Somewhere in the forest area within the territory of the Imperium...
Someone is unexpectedly walking through the forest in the middle of the night. Yara von Chrysalis is the person in question. He is holding the pink astilbe pot in his arms. Unhindered walking in the wild forest that surrounds the academy. The unprotected area of the First Military Imperial School is a wild forest full of wild beasts, as well as some low-level zergs because this land has an abundance of world aura, which aids in the evolution of beasts and other creatures.
No beast or Zerg appears to attack him for some reason. When he finally reached the forest's edge, he saw a vast field of flowers and plants. At the center of it is a throne made of wood and flowers. Furthermore, as soon as Yara von Chrysalis entered the flower field, the plants made a path for him, as if welcoming their king. Yara von Chrysalis walked through the path, his expressionless face unchanged. Only when he reached the field's center did he replant the pink astilbe flower in his hand.
Yara von Chrysalis said, "You can grow quietly in this place. There are brothers, sisters, and adults here to guide you. The spores I can give to enhance your growth will be limited in this human form. Only in this place can I use my other form."
Under the moonlight, a silver-scaled skin appeared on his body, particularly on his back, as he slowly stripped his uniform and placed it on the wooden throne. A white crown made of an unknown material was tied into a braid in his black hair, and a pair of ma.s.sive black and white glittering b.u.t.terfly wings appeared on his back. All beings in the forest bowed down to him. He flew around the forest, spreading his spore to help plants grow and increase the intelligence of other creatures.
His flying figure is reminiscent of an immortal fairy, with a beautiful thin silk-like skirt and pants concealing his private parts but exposing his jade-like smooth legs. With a white crown, he looks like the King of all Monsters, extremely beautiful and ethereal. His glittering spores are dispersed in the wind and shared by all beings in the forest. This is his blessing to those who have sworn allegiance to him. He sat on his throne and closed his eyes, as if going to sleep, after becoming tired of flying around.
Yara von Chrysalis murmured, "Evolution is incomplete. Enter slumber to repair the broken genes. Wake me in three days."
Flowers, plants, and even trees bow their branches, vines, and buds towards the throne, concealing the precious garden where their king is sleeping with a cl.u.s.ter of trees and weaving an illusion that prevents outsiders from seeing the interior scenery of this area. They will kill anyone who dares to trespa.s.s in this place in order to protect their slumbering king.

Back to First Military Imperial School...
Jace Green just found out that his friend took three days off after the near-fatal accident. The plants that were supposed to be surrendered were replanted in the school garden, but all of the teachers knew that the plant that Yara von Chrysalis surrendered was not the same as the one that day. The same one that Jace Green had, which enraged those greedy teachers who wanted to own a Sentient plant for their own use.
Unfortunately, no one dares to move Yara von Chrysalis because his friend Jace Green is said to be a member of the royal family. Jace Green s.h.i.+elded his friend from the adults' greed at school, and he was even willing to use his ident.i.ty as the youngest prince to protect Yara von Chrysalis. The teachers can only give up on the surface, after all, Yara von Chrysalis is only a baron's child, and even if he is a n.o.ble in comparison to the ones behind them, a baron is nothing.
When Yara von Chrysalis returned to school, the punk astilbe pot was gone. He was about to return to his dormitory when he noticed that it had been destroyed. His plants capture all humans who dare to enter the house and gather them in one corner of the room. This is the scene in which Yara von Chrysalis arrives. He remained expressionless when he noticed the three tired and hungry humans in the corner of his room.
He gave them a quick glance before heading to the veranda with a showering pail in hand to water his plants. These plants' vines wiggle as if welcoming their master and enjoying the rain that falls above them.
Yara von Chrysalis asked the plants, "What happened?"
Even without the contract, he could hear the voices of plants and learned how these men entered his room to steal them (plants). They even used fire to burn the plants when they attacked. Unfortunately, the plants Yara left in the house all had the strength to fight against S-ranked warriors. They can also transform into humanoid forms if necessary. In the face of 5 S-ranked Sentient Plants, this group of 5 A-ranked Adjudicators was nothing.
"They tried to burn you. Why didn't you kill them? As long as the body is disposed of it should be okay." Yara von Chrysalis said.
When these words were spoken, the five injured and captured adjudicators all turned pale with fear. Who wouldn't be terrified to hear a young man and ordinary person like Yara von Chrysalis treat their lives as if they were less than human?
Yara von Chrysalis said, "Forget it. There isn't enough soil for them to be buried under you. I'll give you their Elemental core and you can eat that. As for their bodies, the little ones I bought from the outside as houseguards should suffice."
He took four flytrap lilies from his s.p.a.ce ring and placed them near the trespa.s.sers, who were terrified of Yara von Chrysalis. As he stared at them, this beautiful young man's face was emotionless. In his eyes, they don't appear to be alive at all, but rather dead that will be disposed of soon.
Yara von Chrysalis said, "Clean the house up. I'm going to take a dip."
He changed his clothes and went inside the bathroom to take a hot bath. The plants in the house began to move as soon as the bathroom door was shut. A few of them even turned human and dug something from these adjudicators' bodies before returning to the veranda and sharing the elemental core that had been taken from them.
The four flytrap lilies eventually grew large enough to swallow each of them whole. Screams, crunching, and bones cracking could be heard in the room. However, no one on the outside could hear anything because a formation was erected that isolated the entire area. That's why, when the trespa.s.sers were all apprehended, no one helped them because no one heard any noise from outside.
The plants repaired the house and cleaned up the blood and odor. They returned to their normal plant state after a while and went to sleep as if they were ordinary decorative plants in Yara von Chrysalis' dorm room. No one in the other room was aware of the deaths of the five adjudicators in the room next door. Even those who hired them were upset because they thought they had fled. Not even knowing those men were eaten alive by the plants grown by Yara von Chrysalis in his place.

At the Dean's Office...
Only Dean Frey von Gregory, who had witnessed the entire scene thanks to System Yang's surveillance, knew what had occurred in Yara's room. His expression is expressionless because those men deserve it. A small sun hovered around Frey von Gregory as they both watched the scene unfold in front of their eyes.
Dean Frey asked, "What do you think, Zhi Yang?"
[He is the Master's soul fragment without a doubt but... the scent of the master's soul in this one is a bit thin as if it was incomplete or something else. Maybe the Lord G.o.d would know.] System Yang said.
Dean Frey von Gregory said, "At the Royal Banquet, they should be able to meet each other."
[The problem is whether the Master would agree to go to such a crowded place or not.] System Yang commented as he knew his master's preference too well. Crowded and dirty places are something he hates the most.
