(EP-99.1) Cannot Be Buried #2

099 The Truth Cannot Be Buried #2

I told Stella about my findings regarding the Adventure Club.

And that there was a man named Isaiah Gospel, who might be the Demon King Angmars descendant.

Listening to my story, Stella dropped into her chair which made a squeaking noise.

Then she propped up her legs on the table and casually crossed them, without even taking off her slippers. Finally, she took a cigar from who knew where and flicked her finger to light it.

Huu.

The cramped and messy laboratory was quickly filled with stinky cigarette smoke.

My throat got itchy and I started coughing while my eyes stung. Meanwhile, Professor Stella just stared blankly at the ceiling.

It was only after a moment of silence that she finally said something.

It was the Golden Era, an age where all kinds of heroes were born and gathered. At that time, the remnants of the Demon Kings faction were also purged.

The Golden Era?

Yes, from Reinhardt to Aleister, to Tarantera and rulers of distant neighbours. It wasnt uncommon to see Paladins and Saint candidates in one area.

So, who was Isaiah Gospel?

He was our pillar. He was a dreamer, and the Adventure Club started with him. Theres this ridiculous story that somewhere in Ark lay Demon King Solomons treasure

Which is why its called Adventure Club. We were on an adventure to find the Demon Kings treasure.

I see

I quietly digested Professor Stellas words. But I really want to know something.

So about the man named Isaiah. Since you were with him at that time, you should know, right?

Know what?

Seuk-.

Her amber colored eyes turned towards me. It looked like she wanted more information out of me.

If he was a descendant of King Angmar. Considering the time, he shouldve been the son or nephew of the late king.

Most of the information about this was either erased or destroyed. For you to have guessed this much from limited information, I wouldve given you an A if this was a class. But yes, it is like what you said, Theo Gospel. He was indeed the Kings son.

It was just as I expected.

But then, who was I?

The sons son?

I began to suspect my own existence.

So where is Isaiah Gospel, No. Where is Isaiah Angmar now?

What would you do if you found out?

Clattering-.

Her slippers suddenly started to rattle. From the smoking, to casually shaking her feet, it felt like I was at a disadvantage in this conversation.

So I said in a grave tone.

Isnt there only one thing to do to an Angmar descendant? We must find and eliminate them for the Kingdoms safety.

Hmm, thats the textbook answer.

However, Lord Aleister and Reinhardt didnt do that. Not to mention stop him, they didnt even report it. Why is that?

Because there was no need. Isaiah was the reason why the four families united to overthrow the Demon Kings rule. As for whats the reason, you can figure it out yourself.

Figure it out myself

These words made me remember the hypothesis that had been brewing in my mind.

Mirna once said, The Draco Family did not betray the Angmar family.

Now, with the existence of Isaiah, there were many possible answers.

But this one was the most plausible.

You were trying to make Isaiah Angmar King.

.

This was why the Draco Family agreed in overthrowing Demon King Angmar. They are not breaking their oath if the new King is also an Angmar.

Continue.

But considering the timeline, Isaiah Angmar shouldve just been a newborn when the Demon King was subjugated.

The subjugation of Demon King Angmar was said to be about a century ago.

But Demon King Solomon only died about 50 years ago.

Just 50 years ago. But the history books and records said it was about a century ago.

Regardless, Isaiah was still very young.

Did the Tarantera Family take over the throne temporarily until he was ready to become King?

That was about as far as I could guess.

Now that Id done my due, it was time for Professor Stella to confirm or deny my conjecture.

Am I wrong?

.

Come on, answer me.

Well, thats up to you to see if its correct or no-.

Bang-.

I slammed the Professors table with my palm.

Throbbing-.

Naturally, in the battle between the hard table versus my fragile hand, I was the one hurting However, I continued aggressively as if it was nothing.

Professor, I am not here to play. I am here as the Queens Inspector!

To be precise, I was here as the rightful heir to the throne. Of course, I couldnt reveal that. So I chose the next best and most intimidating card I had.

Professor Stella, even if youre the Lady of the Belhawk Family, youre not exempt from punishment if you dont comply.

Punishment? How so?

Thats something you can figure out yourself, Professor.

This was the most threatening-sounding thing I could think of, and just blurted it out.

At this time, Professor Stella lowered her leg from the desk and fixed her posture.

Why are you getting angry?

My threat seemed to have worked. Not only did her attitude change, she also stopped smoking. I shouldve done this sooner. A show of authority was surprisingly effective against her.

Cmon now, theres no need to be so angry.
