Chapter 1115: 17.42 Fourth Violet Star - Rebirth Coc.o.o.n
Only the Grand Marshal, General Nimbus von Gretel, and Yara von Chrysalis remained on Planet Terra after the others had left, and they were still asleep at the time. Adjutant Kir von Giselle returned to the main star on the Grand Marshal's orders so that he might carry out his duties and the Lord G.o.d's personal purpose.
Silvan von Rosegard, Megan Sh.e.l.ley (Zane Lin), and the second prince were taken home by Dean Frey von Gregory from the First Military Imperial Academy. After he got back there, he would be quite busy tidying up.
Although the Grand Marshal's reactions were nonexistent at this time, he wasn't bored as he observed his wife's incarnation dozing off. He looks at Yara with a kind , compa.s.sionate stare. Spending time like this with his beloved is enough for him to live for all of eternity, no matter what. The knock disturbed the peaceful scene.
Knock. Knock.
A middle-aged man of good looks with white hair and gold eyes emerged when the door to the room opened. Only the direct Lineage of the Gretel Clan held these well-known characteristics. The Grand Marshal was aware of the connection between this General and the incarnation of his wife.
General Nimbus von Gretel spoke, "Could His Excellency come out for a while? After all, it would take Xiao Ya for too long before he woke up from his nap."
"Then let this lord accompany you, sir."
The Grand Marshal surprisingly showed this man respect. Even though he is in a higher position than this individual, he still respects her because they are related by blood to his wife's incarnation. After all, in this world, this man is his wife's family. After gazing at his wife's resting form on the bed, he quietly left the room and even gently shut the window.
General Nimbus offered the General some red wine after accompanying him into his study. They didn't immediately start talking to one another as they sat on the couch side by side. The Grand Marshal was being silently watched by General Nimbus von Gretel. Under the older man's critical gaze, the latter remained cool and collected.
Sigh~
General Nimbus gave up waiting and spoke first. Obviously, the young Grand Marshal before him had no intention of speaking first.
"I hope His Excellency answers this old man's question truthfully. Can I ask what my Grandnephew, Yara von Chrysalis, is to you?"
The Grand Marshal didn't hesitate and answered right away, "He is my life."
The Grand Marshal in front of him, the General thought, was treating his Grandnephew like his life since he was the only one who could cure his madness. The General was only momentarily shocked before frowning.
"Is it because Xiao Ya is the only one who can treat His Excellency's Mania?" General Nimbus asked with a dark face.
The Grand Marshal replied, "If that's the reason then, his only use is to stay in my Palace and you guys would never be able to meet him again."
"You...! Hah~ Did the Grand Marshal truly believe you are the strongest in the world? The only 3S-ranked warrior?!" The General said with disdain in his golden eyes.
The Grand Marshal responded, "You are wrong. The strongest in this world isn't me but... Yara. I think you know that already. Moreover, your elder brother is already living a peaceful life with the b.u.t.terfly Emperor. It would be rude to get them involved with the problems between humans and Zergs."
General Nimbus von Gretel's sadness vanished as amazement appeared on his face when he heard the first sentence the Grand Marshal had said. It is true that Yara von Chrysalis is their Clan's strongest member. He is more powerful than Argus Blues von Chrysalis, the b.u.t.terfly Emperor, who is also his brother-in-law.
"You've seen Xiao Ya's other form, haven't you? You who hate the Insect Race, would you be able to accept him?" General Nimbus von Gretel asked.
The Grand Marshal responded, "Such nonsense. Even if he is a real Zerg as long as he is Yara von Chrysalis then I will accept anything even if I become the enemy of the Human Race. I don't care."
A statement like that left the General perplexed. Similar phrases were spoken when his older brother started dating his brother-in-law. This pledge transcends all racial boundaries. The kind of love that makes people envious of you while also making people despise you. Regardless of whether they will turn into the enemy of the entire world or not, the willingness to stand by just one person does thisa strange kind of love.
General Nimbus von Gretel was unable to contain his laughter in response to this response, which reverberated throughout the entire chamber. The Grand Marshal drank his wine with grace while paying little attention to his laughs. None of his statements were false. If they decide to turn against his wife, he will surely turn against the entire race. Why would he be interested in what people of Earth thought of them? His wife, not they, will be by his side through to the very end. From the beginning, there was no other option.
General Nimbus von Gretel said, "You are really the same as my elder brother. You know about him right? He should be famous enough before you join the military."
"The guardian of Imperium Star. He possessed the second divine quantum beast that could contend with the Royal Family's Dragon. The owner of the Celestial Ice Phoenix. Clodius von Gretel. The first SSS-ranked warrior before I was born." Caesar Mitch.e.l.l von Imperlian said. "I heard he suddenly disappeared one day after giving his position to you, General Gretel."
"To marry someone from the Mystical b.u.t.terfly Clan, one must marry into their clan and follow their name. If one day Xiao Ya decides to accept you, are you willing to leave the crown?" General Nimbus von Gretel said.
The Grand Marshal said, "In the first place, I am not interested in it. It's just... that the throne cannot be given to someone incompetent. If a puppet of the n.o.ble clans has to sit there, it is better to not let it exist."
"Haha~ I was in doubt before. I thought you only wanted Xiao Ya to cure your mania but it seems you are very smitten with him." The General said.
The Grand Marshal responded, "I wasn't killed by my mania before I met Yara, so curing it was something I never cared about at all. It was those old men from the n.o.ble Faction who couldn't wait any longer and wanted me dead. Those Mediators they sent to my Palace were all trying to destroy my mind, I just counterattacked and they ruined themselves."
"This might be because His Majesty is no longer fully under their control. They wanted to eliminate you as soon as possible so they would have a reason to kill His Majesty." General Nimbus von Gretel said.
The Grand Marshal said, "Sooner or later they will need to learn how to survive without my protection."
"Eh? Why?" General Nimbus von Gretel asked in confusion.
Caesar Mitch.e.l.l von Imperlian replied as if it was a matter of fact, "Didn't you say that if I marry Yara in the future I must use his name and live with the clan? If so then I won't have any extra to spend on Imperium."
"You. You. You don't want to be royalty anymore?!" General Nimbus exclaims.
The Grand Marshal replied, "No. I want to spend my life with Yara."
"Sigh~ in the future, there would be two SSS-ranked warrior hermits with no care for the mortal world," mumbled General Nimbus.
Yara von Chrysalis, who had just awoken, entered the living room at this time, rubbing his eyes. n.o.body is certain if he caught their talk, but he walked up to his granduncle and his companion with tired eyes.
Yara von Chrysalis asked, "Yawns~ what are you guys doing? I'm hungry~" he rubbed his growling tummy while complaining of hunger.
The moment the Grand Marshal meets his wife, his eyes instantly light up. Even though he has a vague feeling that something about him unnerved him, he hasn't questioned his ident.i.ty since he seen him summon Juedi.
"Baby, you're awake. I'm going to make dinner. Wait for a bit." Caesar Mitch.e.l.l von Imperlian said as he kissed his wife's forehead before leaving for the kitchen.
General Nimbus watches the interaction between the two youths with a knowing smile on his face. Only when the Grand Marshal left the room did Yara speak to his Granduncle.
"Your face is weird, Granduncle Nim." Yara von Chrysalis said.
General Nimbus said, "You are getting along with Caesar quite well. What do you think of him?"
"Hm~ I don't know. He is a very interesting human thought." Yara von Chrysalis answered.
"That's all?"
"He is warm. Feeds me, carries me if I'm tired, and will accompany me anywhere I want to go."
"Do you not feel sparks or b.u.t.terflies in your stomach?"
"Granduncle Nim, I was born without emotions. It was already surprising that I found him interesting. He is my most precious toy." Yara von Chrysalis said. He didn't even notice the slight curl of his lips as he thought of the Grand Marshal.
The last time General Nimbus visited the Edge Star or Haven Star, where the Chrysalis Clan resides, he recalled what his older brother had stated. Yara had just given birth at that moment. Even after being pinched, Baby Yara remained silent. He wasn't the type to laugh or get upset when taunted. Brother Argus, his brother-in-law, claims that this is typical.
This is thus because Yara is born with the b.u.t.terfly Race's purest Lineage. His race had never shown emotion and was emotionless from birth. They had a narrow focus on vegetation and plants. They rarely experienced other feelings. It is a miracle in and of itself that Argus Blues von Chrysalis should fall for Clodius von Gretel. Yet, according to his brother-in-law, since Yara was born with a human bloodline, it is still possible for him to develop feelings in the future.
So this old man was thrilled just by watching Yara grin. His emotions haven't frequently changed since Yara was born. He grew to enjoy the Grand Marshal a little bit more as a result of his unusual smile.
General Nimbus said, "Since he is your favorite toy, you should take care of him well. Humans are fragile, you know that right, Xiao Ya?"
"Hm. I understand Granduncle Nim." Yara von Chrysalis responded and suddenly remembered why he came to his Granduncle and said, "Granduncle, give me that one. The b.u.t.terfly Coc.o.o.n from Granduncle Ze."
General Nimbus removed a little package from his clothing's interior pocket. He displayed how significant this item is to him by placing the little box above his heart. He handed Yara the little box with care. Before he committed a suicide mission trying to save the children trapped in the Zerg's nest, Zephyr von Gretel had his subordinate send his husband this very identical box.
Opening the package, Yara von Chrysalis removed the tiny coc.o.o.n within. The two of them can both hear the little coc.o.o.n's heartbeat. The coc.o.o.n is carefully placed in his hand by Yara. He rubs his fingers together, and all of his spores land on the coc.o.o.n. All of those spores are absorbed by the coc.o.o.n, which grows quite quickly and then abruptly floats in the air.
An adult-sized coc.o.o.n appeared in the living room in a matter of minutes. The beating of its heart grew louder, and the coc.o.o.n itself began to tremble. A human hand emerged from the coc.o.o.n that had been split open beneath the two people's eyes. Zephyr von Gretel, who should have been dead, emerges from the coc.o.o.n nude and develops two brown b.u.t.terfly wings on his back.
Zephyr von Gretel said, "Urgh~ I feel sick. Honey, pull me out please."
General Nimbus von Gretel rushed over to the shattered coc.o.o.n and carefully extracted his wife. He takes off his coat, encircles his wife's body with it, and gently drags him over to the couch. Through this coc.o.o.n, Zephyr von Gretel was born again. This is a special ability that only the Mystical b.u.t.terfly Clan possessed for saving lives.
Zephyr von Gretel said, "It's been a while since I've used Rebirth Coc.o.o.n. I feel so weak right now. Normally, it would take a year for me to break the coc.o.o.n but thanks to Yaya's spore my growth has been accelerated."
"Granduncle Ze, I think Granduncle Nim was frightened by your rebirth." Yara von Chrysalis said.
General Nimbus von Gretel hugged his wife tightly in his embrace. Zephyr could even feel the warm droplets on his neck and had no choice but to comfort this old man.
"Don't cry. Didn't I already tell you I wouldn't die so easily?" Zephyr von Gretel whispered sweet words and comfort to his husband.
Despite being aware of the technique, Nimbus von Gretel had never actually seen it in action. General Nimbus nearly lost it when he heard his wife kill himself on the ledge. He was able to relax thanks to that little coc.o.o.n. He is confident that his wife will survive as long as he defends this coc.o.o.n with his life.
One must see to believe. The pain and anguish in his heart gradually subsided when he saw the entire scene of rebirth and saw his wife come back to him alive. Yara walks into the kitchen to see the Grand Marshal after noticing how adorably affectionate his Granduncles are.
