Chapter 249: Preparing For The Hunt
Thus, Eldrina’s welcome party came to an end.
Although Glen, whom she was interested in and wanted to take care of, had to leave early due to health reasons, Eldrina never showed any signs of disappointment or discomfort when dealing with Yuma.
“Hugo has a good wife.”
The next morning, the drunkard who returned to the annex said. Shiron came out to greet Yuma, who reeked of alcohol. Although Lucia returned to the annex before midnight, Yuma was still held by Eldrina and seemed to have spent the morning drinking.
“Does a good person drink until dawn?”
“Isn’t it fine? After all, I’m not human, so I don’t get drunk easily. It’s not strong whiskey, just some wine brewed at the manor. It’s just like water to me.”
“Then there’s no need to help you?”
“I think the drunkenness is catching up to me. My head is throbbing, and my vision is spinning...”
“Stop the drunken talk and come up quietly. I have something to discuss.”
Yuma pretended to stagger and tried to lean on Shiron’s broad chest, but Shiron ignored the drunkard’s antics and went upstairs to the room.
“You live quite frugally.”
Yuma said while looking around. A desk with writing tools. Curtains that block out sunlight. A bed. The room, with just these, gave her a fresh feeling.
“It’s easy to clean.”
“Do you clean it yourself?”
“I don’t like anyone entering my room when I’m not around. More importantly, don’t stand there; have a seat. We have something to talk about.”
“...Understood.”
Instead of the nearby chair, Yuma quietly sat on Shiron’s bed. Shiron locked the door and then pulled up a chair to sit across from Yuma.
“It seems the head of the family has seen the future.”
“...Pardon?”
Yuma, who was stroking the bedspread, was startled.
“Are you saying this suddenly? The head of the family said last time that he had lost his power of foresight...”
“He was absent-minded during dinner, so I suspected it, but after talking with him yesterday, I’m sure.”
“...I’ve served many Prients over hundreds of years, but this is the first time I’ve encountered such a case.”
Yuma hugged a pillow and sighed. The loss of foresight ability, coupled with the head of the family’s disappearance, were unprecedented events in the past 500 years, leaving Yuma’s mind in turmoil.
“Did you ask about the prophecy’s content?”
“I tried, but he wouldn’t tell me.”
“Was he worried it would bring bad luck?”
“If that were the case, he wouldn’t have mentioned wanting to do something.”
Shiron recalled the previous night. Glen, while being supported, had tried to hide his sorrowful expression but couldn’t suppress his fatigue.
“He said he had something to discuss with my uncle.”
“...May I speak candidly?”
Shiron nodded in permission. Yuma took a deep breath, straightened her posture, and began to speak.
“I think the prophecy might be about death.”
“Does he want to reconcile with his brother before he dies?”
“That might be it. Although Hugo dislikes the head of the family now, he took good care of him when they were young.”
“But there’s still quite some time until the expedition ends...”
Shiron mumbled while looking at the calendar on the wall. It had been almost a month since Siriel set out on the expedition.
‘With Glen leaving the defense of the demonic realm, it wouldn’t be strange if the 1st and 4th apostles attacked anytime now.’
The 3rd apostle operated around the magic tower in the demonic realm. It might be a hasty assumption, but considering his wishes, it wasn’t entirely unreasonable.
The 6th apostle was sealed and spreading disasters from the Arwen Highlands every year.
‘But even so, I can’t ask the weakened Glen to defend the demonic realm again.’
The Makal Mountain Range was long, and the demonic realm was vast enough that it couldn’t be traversed without Glen’s former strong prophetic abilities.
In the end, Shiron had only one option.
‘I have to confront the apostles by any means necessary.’
“Yuma.”
“Yes, young master.”
“Can Dawn Castle prevent the apostles?”
“...I’m not sure.”
Yuma answered uncertainly.
In the early days of Dawn Castle, there were several apostle attacks and conflicts, but after the forces were built up, the head of the Prient family had been handling them. However, even they had never destroyed the apostles’ seats, so Yuma’s uncertainty was understandable.
Demons could be annihilated, but unless the apostles’ seats were destroyed with a holy sword, apostles would infinitely resurrect due to their authority.
This difference created an endless cycle. Shiron patted Yuma’s slumped shoulder.
“With the head of the family here, some apostles must have crossed the mountain range.”
“...”
“If the head of the family predicted his death.”
Shiron thought while rubbing his lips.
“Who would kill him?”
“Are you planning to prevent the head of the family’s death, young master?”
“If possible, I’ll try my best.”
“...If the head of the family truly predicted his own death, the prophecy cannot be avoided.”
“That’s why I’m asking.”
Shiron wanted to stay by Glen’s side all day to prevent his death, but neither he nor Glen knew if Glen would die by someone else’s hand or from old age.
“Could it be a natural death? His frequent nosebleeds suggest his health isn’t great.”
“...The head of the family isn’t even fifty yet. No matter how much he strained his body, it’s not the age to die...”
Yuma couldn’t finish her sentence. She realized from the conversation that Shiron’s resolve had hardened.
Breached security.
Apostles that might have already crossed the mountain range.
“Could it be?”
“Who dares to kill Glen Prient? I don’t think anyone else can harm the head of the family.”
Shiron recalled the duel at the training ground. Though Glen had dropped his sword, his martial prowess was clearly beyond human.
“Prophecies always pointed to apostles. The head of the family isn’t someone who would be poisoned by another.”
Why did Glen want to see Hugo so badly? Before Glen died, Shiron would take him to Hugo, as Glen’s wish was to see Hugo.
“An apostle will appear where Uncle is.”
Constantly thinking, Shiron prepared to leave.
