Chapter 1109: 17.36 Fourth Violet Star - Gather
Yara von Chrysalis was blessing everything on Planet Terra while fluttering around in his b.u.t.terfly form. He was so oblivious that he missed the other s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p's approach just above Planet Terra and the man perched atop a black dragon, watching the man in his current form soar around. The Grand Marshal was likewise somewhat dumbfounded when he saw him in this shape, but other than a little shock and happiness that he is safe, there are no other expressions on his face.
Yara von Chrysalis was first a little shocked when the Grand Marshal entered the room, but he quickly recovered and regained his impa.s.sive face while exchanging silent glances with the Grand Marshal. Yara von Chrysalis was feeling a little uneasy in his b.u.t.terfly form because he was aware that the Human Race despises the Zerg and all other insect races. His clan does not belong to the Zerg Race, but his form is still that of an insect, although one that is a hybrid of human and insect forms.
Yara von Chrysalis was the first one to speak and asked, "You're here. Did you come here to capture me or... kill me?" A fake smile surfaced on Yara's beautiful face. Unfortunately, the same itself is empty and has no emotion at all. As if seeing a doll smiling at you.
The Grand Marshal spoke without waiting and said, "Neither. I am here because I felt uneasy and was worried about you being in danger. That form... darling, are you from the Mystical b.u.t.terfly Clan?"
"You know about my clan?" Yara von Chrysalis asked.
He was a little taken aback because his clan is a secretive one that not even the Human Race was aware of. Nonetheless, they continue to live in silence and secrecy while coexisting with humans. When the Mystical b.u.t.terfly Clan went into hiding 20 years ago, following the conclusion of the first conflict between the human species and the insect race, even the Zerg Race believed they had become extinct or something similar.
The sleeping Sentient Beings were once more roused by the sight of the Grand Marshal, a figure of great danger, approaching their lord. Their Monarch was surrounded by branches. If it ventured to hurt Yara von Chrysalis, they planned to attack this person. Nevertheless, their king issued a proclamation ordering them to disperse and abandon their homicidal plans for the Grand Marshal.
The Grand Marshal gripped Roi's hand bravely while directing him to fly nearer to Yara. Caesar Mitch.e.l.l von Imperlian continues to give him the same adoring stare he has had ever since they first met, devoid of any signs of disdain or contempt.
"Before I became a Grand Marshal, 20 years ago. I was the one who met the b.u.t.terfly Emperor and signed a treaty with him. The contents of the treaty are that for your clan to not help the Zerg Race while the Human Race is having a war against them. The Venerable Emperor had agreed and disappeared ever since then."
The Grand Marshal goes on to describe the current circ.u.mstances, the background of humanity, and the Mystical b.u.t.terfly Clan. He was among the live people who were aware of their existence, and he was also the one responsible for erasing any references to this clan from the Imperium Star's history, thus he knew a lot.
The fact that Yara von Chrysalis allowed the Grand Marshal to take him close to himself and stood with him atop Roi's head astounded him. The Black Dragon, Roi, is currently flying with his master while still tightly clutching the white silver egg in its hands. Once he had taken the egg from Yara's Soul Realm, he never once let it go. Reine's soul is said to be sleeping inside the egg while it waits for its metamorphosis to be finished.
The Grand Marshal said, "Darling, return to your human form. The rest will be here in a minute."
As instructed, Yara von Chrysalis a.s.sumed his human form. The enormous silvery wings on his back vanished, and some of the parts of his skin that had silver scales on them went back to being normal. He has returned to being a person in his vessel. The Grand Marshal continued to treat Yara in the same manner, being close but not excessively clingy. Because they both understood that their relations.h.i.+p hadn't been formally established or married yet.
Yet, they were real in their interactions with one another. Even though Yara von Chrysalis had been a little guarded when he first encountered the Grand Marshal in that other form, the fact that his response had remained the same made him feel somewhat relieved. Even he was unable to comprehend why he was feeling that way. He merely has the impression that, regardless of who the man is, he would never do it any harm for whatever reason.
Yara von Chrysalis mumbled, "You are truly interesting." He then looked at the Sentient Beings who woke up to protect their king. "Go back to sleep. This man is not an enemy."
But in their dealings with one another, they were genuine. Despite the fact that Yara von Chrysalis had been a little hesitant when he first met the Grand Marshal in that other shape, he felt a little comforted that it had not changed. He couldn't understand why he was feeling that way, not even he. He simply has the idea that the man would never hurt it for any reason, regardless of who he is.
On their journey back to the Headquarters, the Grand Marshal and Yara von Chrysalis ran across t.i.tus von Chrysalis and the others. Those who were still on Planet Terra convened in the Headquarters, which had also been repaired after everything on Planet Terra had been resolved.
The warriors who were still on the planet went back to work. While everyone else congregated in one place. Silvan von Rosegard, who had been unconscious since the unknown ent.i.ty in his head was isolated by Dean Frey's qi, was finally awake as Yara von Chrysalis turned to face him. Yara von Chrysalis understood they wanted him to a.s.sist Silvan von Rosegard after hearing what transpired from his older brother.
Before the Grand Marshal who was seated beside Yara von Chrysalis only the Second Prince and Silvan von Rosegard who was kneeling on the ground made the whole room a bit awkward.
Christopher Klein von Imperlian pleads, "Imperial Uncle, please save this nephew's fiance. They all said there was something unknown in Silvie's mind. This nephew couldn't see it no matter what but even Silvie says there is something in him that he couldn't remove himself. Please help us."
The ent.i.ty Silvan von Rosegard was harboring was the same one that wounded his older brother, Yara von Chrysalis was aware of this. He remembered what had transpired after seeing it again and was motivated to get rid of any danger to his family members. The Grand Marshal, whose soul had undergone a metamorphosis, could unmistakably see that soul enslaving this mortal's soul.
"Why did you sign a contract with such a thing? Don't you know that signing a contract with such a thing is not different from giving up your soul? What was it that you desired that you would even give up your life for?" The Grand Marshal asked as his face remained cold and apathetic as he looked down on Silvan von Rosegard who was s.h.i.+vering under his gaze.
Silvan von Rosegard wanted to explain, but he was too terrified and didn't know how to do it to the man in front of him. It's not like he can tell them that he was reincarnated without risking military detention. He struggled to speak, unable to say a single syllable without stuttering.
Silvan's soul was being silently examined by Yara von Chrysalis, who recognized parallels between the two young men in front of him. He sensed that they shared certain similarities with the Grand Marshal's soul, who was sat next to him but not simultaneously. They had a dissonance between their spirit and their body, unlike Megan Sh.e.l.ley, whose soul and body were different from the start.
The sole difference between Christopher Klein von Imperlian and Silvan von Rosegard's souls and their bodies is that their souls are more developed than their bodies. In The Grand Marshal, despite the fact that the soul and the vessel are two quite distinct things, the body does not reject the soul; rather, it gives way. An absolute power of the soul over the body.
Yara von Chrysalis spoke up, "The souls of you both are too mature compared to your current vessels. Is this what you wanted to hide?"
Everyone in the vicinity was surprised by this one query, especially the pair who were bowed before the Grand Marshal and Yara. They give Yara von Chrysalis a monster-like stare. Their anxiety and astonishment were visible in their eyes. Even (Zane Lin) Megan Sh.e.l.ley wasn't prepared to hear such a magnificent scene, but he was able to deduce what Yara was trying to communicate.
Megan Sh.e.l.ley asked, "Are you saying that their soul and body are synchronized but the soul is more mature and powerful than their bodies, Lord Yara?"
"Un. It is the same as yours. Your soul is stronger than your vessel. The difference between you guys is that, that body isn't yours originally, and the original owner is dead. On the other hand, the soul and body of these two are the same. They are definitely the owner of that vessel but their soul is older than the vessel." Yara von Chrysalis explained. "What is this event called again? Re... Re..."
Silvan von Rosegard grew increasingly alarmed as he continued to explain. The Second Prince, meanwhile, had calmed himself and realized that everyone in the room was aware of rebirth and transmigration when he noticed that no one appeared astonished or perplexed by their circ.u.mstance. All he could do was be completely honest about their circ.u.mstances.
Christopher Klein von Imperlian stated, "Aunt-in-law is correct."
When they heard how the second prince had referred to Yara, t.i.tus von Chrysalis and General Nimbus von Gretel's lips twitched, but they were unable to express displeasure because their superior was present.
"Silvie and I had been reborn. He had already lived this life once and died on that timeline only to wake up in this timeline." The Second Prince said.
Unsurprisingly, no one shown any signs of astonishment or surprise. The rest had already made educated guesses. When the second prince made his confession, everyone remained calm, with the exception of Silvan von Rosegard, who turned to gaze at his fiance and adored with a startled and perplexed expression. t.i.tus von Chrysalis thought this was such an interesting event. Even the second prince having been reborn like him was something he hadn't antic.i.p.ated.
Silvan von Rosegard questioned because he couldn't believe what he had just heard to be true. Moreover, he took hold of Christopher Klein von Imperlian's shoulders and enquired,
"Tell me the truth! You are also reborn!? You are my Chris who abandoned me in that timeline! You... don't smile."
Silvan peered at the second prince's eyes as if pleading with him to tell him otherwise, and tears welled up in his eyes. Regrettably, despite not denying anything, the second prince's sapphire eyes suddenly flashed with sorrow, shame, and regret.
Christopher Klein von Imperlian reached out his hands and gently wiped his beloved's tears as a wry smile stayed on his face, "Don't cry. Everything is my fault. Just hate me. At that time, I was too blinded by the powerful. I wanted the throne so I could officialize our engagement. To protect you from my elder brother, the Crown Prince, I can only leave your side and show them that I abandoned you or they will target you and the Rosegard Clan. That's the only way I can protect you at that time."
Tears fell from Silvan's eyes like a fall and said, "Liar. Liar. You left me without explanation. You told me... you don't need me anymore. That I am... useless for not awakening."
"I regret it. I shouldn't have left you behind. Because of that, Megan Sh.e.l.ley had plotted against you. I knew his ambition and urgency. I turned a blind eye thinking he wouldn't harm you. Only when I've learned that you've died... I lost my meaning in life. So this time I made a decision to stay by your side. Whether you accept me again or not. In this lifetime, I will protect you and love you with all of me." The Second Prince declared.
