27. Awakening

In the ‘Chamber of Rituals’ at the Russell Marquisate’s residence—

At the center stood an eternal brazier containing a sacred flame that never extinguished.

This flame, part of the holy fire created during the world’s inception, symbolized immortality and permanence.

It needed no fuel.

There was just a small fireball roaming over the smooth surface of the brazier.

But then, without warning, the fireball swelled massively.

It grew as if to touch the distant ceiling, then burst into a golden mist, and shattered.

Amid the falling golden particles, like snowflakes, a man appeared.

His white hair fluttered like clouds, and from his golden-tanned skin, a faint light emanated.

His feet didn’t touch the ground, leaving no trace as he moved. He floated, passing through walls, towards a certain place, awakening a consciousness.

—Regia.

In the darkness, a divine descendant stirred awake at his call.

[ Lord Luu…! ]

Luu landed there. His golden light faintly lit the dark storehouse.

—What are you doing here?

[ …… ]

Regia seemed to grumble something.

Luu’s lips parted for the first time, releasing a fragrant sigh.

—Regia, Hestia is in danger. She has not awakened to the throne yet, so she needs your power.

[ …I don’t want to help Radis! She’s bad! ]

Luu raised his chin, giving Regia a stern look.

—Are you planning to abandon the duty given by the Supreme Being? Do you wish to be punished like Alexis?

Regia sobbed at Luu’s words.

[ Poor Alexis. I miss Alexis…! ]

—Do you not want to free her?

[ …… ]

—You’ve been deeply asleep, losing yourself for so long, but she could not. The vile desires of humans awoke her, and now she is in terrible pain.

[ She’s… She’s in pain? How long have I been asleep? ]

—Five hundred years.

Regia trembled, overwhelmed by the weight of time.

—Providence seeks balance. Soon, six thrones shall be established across three worlds as desired, balancing the universe.

Luu continued.

—A new Kronos will soon awaken in the Black Forest on Earth. If that happens, the seal Verad created for her will break, and her soul will be forever stained in darkness, beyond salvation.

[ I… I don’t want that! ]

—Regia, only you can help the new Hestia and save Alexis.

Regia whined.

[ But Lord Luu, Radis doesn’t trust me. She said she hates me and threw me here, look! ]

Luu looked down at Regia with slender eyes and silently clicked his tongue.

Among the divine descendants with the Supreme Being’s power, rare were those with such a strong sense of self as this blade.

This sword wasn’t always like this.

Back when it was called Pyrrh, it adopted the personality of the mischievous Alexis with whom it had bonded.

Other descendants weren’t like this either.

The ‘Spear of Light’ Phaenos, bestowed by the Supreme Being, was certainly not, and neither was ‘The Eternal Shield’ Kairos, which had spent a long time with Verad Russell.

Given Verad’s mature nature, which had even made Luu appreciate the dignity of humans, it was evident that he had positively influenced Kairos.

However, this sword, which had a blast causing trouble with Alexis every day, seemed to have become somewhat exhausting.

Luu spoke to Regia like dealing with a wayward lamb.

—Regia, look at where you are.

Regia realized he’d been moved from a closet corner to a plush resting place.

[ Oh? When did I get moved here…? ]

Technically, Melody couldn’t carry the heavy sword, which had been chucked deep into the closet, so she had just barely pulled Regia out the corner.

Regia found herself lying on a pet bed, which was a gift from Olivier to Radis just because it had caught her attention.

She thought in amazement, ‘Who would sell something like this?’

On a wooden base, a strikingly clear mint-colored cushion was covered, adorned with three pink bears with enigmatic expressions.

Regia’s voice trembled with emotion.

[ Radis, I thought you were really angry at me, but you put me on such a cool bed? And even promised to put in air fresheners…! ]
