I alone am the Honoured One!

"E-Eldritch Empress!"

*thud* The two Eldritch guards kneeled on the ground and didn't dare to gaze up at the woman's face.

*drip* Their eyes flickered to the drops of blood dripping from her left arm and slowly raised his head to see that she had lost her left hand.

*tap* Azyrth Dina Grimveil walked to the enormous door and it slowly creaked open showing the enormous Royal hall inside it.

The hall was grand, ancient, and shrouded in shadow, its massive stone pillars reaching toward a distant ceiling.

Dark, glowing symbols of the Eldritch were carved into the walls, their eerie light casting long, distorted shadows.

As she entered, the enormous door slowly began to close and she raised her head looking at the man who was sitting on the throne high in the small stairs.

The handsome man had dark black hair and sensed Azryth's presence, the man opened his eyes, his crimson eyes gleaming in the dimmed Royal hall.

Varyn Zan Grimveil!

Huh? His gaze condensed as he glanced at the missing arm of Azyrth and muttered "Little Sister, you came back after some years... and your arm."

Varyn Grimveil was really surprised as he knew there were people he could count with his fingers who could injure his little sister like this.

"Didn't you say that you are going to find Little Vester... Who could possibly harm you like that in middle and lower stars?"

"And... why are you not healing it?"

Hm? The frown on his face deepened as he looked at the blood dripping from her body and he asked "Is this caused by the 'Rupture?'"

Even in pain, Azyrth's face didn't have emotions and she gave a nod "Yeah... I didn't expect the 'Rupture' to occur and that bitch escaped from me."

The man moved his body to sit upright, now leaning forward with a keen interest "By bitch, you mean?"

Azryth walked to a chair which is allotted for the Eldritch ministers who were not there now and sat on it.

"Zhao Ning... Cessna Maverick's best friend. She is the one who fled from the Astral Realm with my son."

The man's face darkened upon hearing this and he uttered in a cold tone "Why didn't you kill that woman and retrieve the Honoured One?"

Azryth kept her emotionless face and replied "Because Vester is not with her at that time.. i searched the whole low star and nearby stars, but my Vester is not there."

"After torturing her, she spat out that... my Vester is with her Sister in a middle star."

"And while we are on our way to that star..." her voice trailed off.

*swish* A violent aura burst out of the man's body as darkness surrounded the whole Royal Hall, and black energy swirled out of his body.

"That woman and Honoured One was in your hands reach... yet you failed to do your job."

Hearing this, Ayzrth stood up, and a dark glint passed through her eyes as purplish dark flames crackled out of her body, clashing with the man's aura.

"I am... not chasing after my son, because you told me to or I consider it as a 'job'."

"I know you are seeing him as a pawn for you so he can help you in conquering the Astral realm, you power-hungry bastard, but for me... it is different."

"I want my son, Vester... because I am the one who bore him for ten years and his true mother."

"Don't misunderstand... I am doing it for me, not for you."

Varyn hit his hand on the armrest and asked "So, he won't help us in conquering the Astral Realm?"

"That is for Vester to decide if he wants to help you or not..."

The man's eyes condensed looking at the ferocious eyes of Arzyth and at this time, the enormous door creaked open again.

A woman entered in and her eyes arched in surprise looking at the back of Azryth "Azryth... you are back?"

Azryth Grimveil, turned her head to look over her shoulder and saw the beautiful woman with long red hair and red eyes "Sister-in-law?"

The woman let out a sigh and spoke "You, brother and sister are bickering again... can't you get along at all?"

She then turned her head to look at the man on the throne and spoke "Dear, your sister just came back and see, she is injured... but you are arguing?"

The man stayed silent on his throne and the woman turned to Azryth with a slight frown "But... Azryth, someone injured you? You went into the North Astralians territory?"

Azyrth shook her head "No... I got caught in a Rupture and..."

The frown on the woman's face deepened and she spoke "Come on, let's get you treated first..."

She grasped Azyrth's hand and pulled her from there to the door.

"Hold on...!"

Hearing his voice, both of them turned around and the man asked with a thoughtful face "And what are you going to do now?"

"How are you going to find your son?"

Azyrth just stayed silent and walked toward the door as she quickly left the room to heal her injury.

As she left, the woman's face turned grim and she shot a fierce glare at the man sitting on the throne "Dear, do you understand how crucial Azryth is to our plans? Don't push her too far."

"Don't spoil everything."

She spoke before following Ayzrth out of the room.

...

As the green flames began to disappear in the space, Lyra Talon clicked a button in the control panel and took a square projector out.

She took the square box and tossed it to Zhao Tian "It has the video of the recording of the battle just now."

Catching the box, Zhao Tian nodded "Thanks... Now then, I am taking my leave."

Hm? Lyra Talon grabbed his collar and spoke in a teasing tone "Now, now... Zhao, show me around the star bit.. I only flew in the sky till now to look around."

Zhao Tian shrugged his arms "There is nothing big for you to sightsee there. As you are from the high star, I am prolly sure nothing will excite you."

Hearing this, Lyra Talon let out her tongue "Bah, just get me some food or something... come on let's gooooo~"

"Wohooo~'

*swish*

...

*swish* The small ark, quickly dashed through the atmosphere of the Earth and Lyra Talon glanced at Zhao Tian who was on his mobile "So, where shall we go first... Zhao."

"Germany, I have some unfinished business there."

Lyra Talon smiled dryly "Oi, I am not your driver... I don't know where that is."

"Hahaha, follow my instructions."
