Chapter 7: the founder families' legend, the broken family

After resting a little bit inside the library, recuperating mana and trying to not get all emotional from those memories, I used the Evil Eyes combined with the Read and Mental affinities on all the books inside the library and the information I got from the Pandora system

This combination made it easy to read and memorize the information and knowledge delivered through the pages and the chapters, it was so easy and surprising how astronomical my perception and concentration was…

I am proud to call this new ability of mine that can see through everything even the memories of the mana: [Evil Eyes of Clairvoyance]!

The first magic I could use by combining two affinities and using the evil eyes as a medium for the casting!

That way basically went through all the important information in only one evening! I went back to my room and closed the door after sitting behind a desk!

<As I thought, this world is from that game… The RPG called “Saga of Regulus”… even this world’s map is identical…>

In this world there are three continents…

The first is the Regulus Solis Empire ruled by the Solis family current emperor “Arthur La Basha Solis”

A continent situated in the northern side of the globe, the size of the African continent approximately, with a rich geography, a series of big mountains, plains for cultivation, rivers and lakes… this continent is basically a jackpot on top of that the last land that is still blessed by a god… even though that god is low ranking… more like a deity.

This continent's history goes like this, the first king came with his people and united the continent after defeating the ancient civilization that prayed for the darkness and worshiped its source, the Abyss…

They exterminated different races inside of their territory and created a continent where humans are the dominating race, the first emperor name was “Regis” the apostle of the goddess of light Solaria, and his wife the first empress was the saint of light “Laontel”. They were accompanied by the three great heroes Sir Evan who exterminated the Ice elves and gained the blessing of the winter magic and became the duke of Evanson, my ancestor. He excelled at the ways of the sword and Aura, named as the first general and knight commander of the winter squad!

The second was Master “Petrigan” who excelled at the ways of alchemy and magic is a Duke house of Petrigan, records of him as a top ranking genius of the ways of alchemy are everywhere!

The third is the Holy knight dame Agatha; she was the first Holy Knight of the order of Solaria, the talented and independent warrior, whom bravely fought on the front lines with the powers bestowed by the goddess trough the Sun Crest, she eradicated the enemies of the empire and became a figure of power and respect and finally her house became the house of Agate the Popes of the great holy church of Solaria and a figure of faith and beliefs spreading the teachings of the church…

These four founding families were the reason this empire came to be… the ancient civilization remnants that used to occupy this land were already at the brink of extinction before the Regulus Solis arrived.

Because at that time the world was facing the greatest calamity that has ever befallen it… the hordes of hell!

Exhausted from the big scale war the ancient civilization vanished through tie till it was forgotten… records of t are remaining in the Pandora system description of the world…

Such a dramatic history! Not that I care in the slightest, but I might have got some clues and the plan is taking form little by little…

After all, the number of holes and non-matching information here is completely illogical…

For example… they said the founding families were nomads that came to the continent… nomads from where? Outside of the continent, didn’t they say that only the Regulus continent exists in this world? What and who the hell are those ancient civilization people? How did they end up on the verge of extinction only to be eradicated from the surface? One of these books explained that they wanted to conceal their knowledge and their ways and treasures so they destroyed everything leaving no trace behind…

This kind of ending is so fishy… are they perhaps tied to the doom that shall befall this world in the future? And what the hell is this hoard of hell? Is it referring to the demonic army that the leading characters will deal with in the future?

In the original, the saint, after putting her hand on the legendary relic of the saint and would use the power of the saint to exterminate the monsters in a flashy way with the crown prince by her side as her “hero chosen by the holy sword”… yep so cliché and cheesy!

Anyway…  I suspect any of that crap would work this time since Solaria is having a nap, I don’t think she would wake up anytime soon…

Without her guidance can they even use holy power? I greatly suspect that they can even perform the ritual during the upcoming founding festival…

It might become the perfect stage for “Satiana’s awakening”…  If I am not mistaken it’s in a month from now…

Cassius by that time will mostly set me free from prohibition, I need to make sure of that… else I’ll be losing a perfect chance to strike!

After all, he is planning to introduce her as his escort, the yet to be officially announced saint!

By doing so he will make Evanson house pride hit the floor, replacing the untalented and spoiled crazy bitch Satiana Von Evanson, with the cute and lovely saint!

Oh dear crown prince… I simply can’t

Yes I simply can’t go… I might burst into laughter at his face once I give him what I have prepared for them, HaHa! Oh sweet Abyss, you are not against me fooling around a little with those chimps right?

Alright me! I should not slack off! I should already master those spells!

Did I mention that my class is [Sorceress]? Its description says it’s the class of magic users that can use all kinds of magic without any kind of restriction or taboo.

It’s in a way a class equal to higher than saint, after all saints can never use witchcraft or totem magic or example. But they can draw power from “belief” and “faith”… which is completely OP in a way!

Not that I am jealous or anything, after all, I don’t need that crap to kick some ass!

Being a Sorceress gives me the power to use all kinds of Sorcery and Spell Casting!

Thanks to the knowledge I got from the library and the system, I am confident that if I work hard enough before the date, I would be perfectly able to take the spotlight from the saint and the cheating bastard as well making the duke proud of his daughter.

Suddenly my senses got alerted, attracted by the noise coming from outside… oh my? Speak of the devil and he shall appear!

Let’s get ready for it! I quickly changed clothes to a gown and used heresy magic on myself to myself cry, this is running through my skin! The things I do to make this old man…

I sat on a chair near the balcony’s glass doors and started singing a tune that will be playing a crucial role in this play!

Let the farce begin!

The door opened, the duke entered without knocking at the door, a silent and calm tune of a familiar melody.

The melody he yearned to hear since a long time ago, the one “she” used to sing…

He hesitated for a moment to get in, but then he opened the door completely and searched where the song was coming from…

“Why am I hearing this melody…? I haven’t drunk any cup of wine the entire day. It has been so long since I have set foot inside of this building… am I perhaps hallucinating because of the nostalgic feeling… no I am definitely hearing it… that melody“were the thoughts he had upon hearing the familiar notes…

In the dark room a girl sitting on a chair facing the window admiring the setting sun… she was singing… the familiar notes are coming from her

She turned her face upon realizing that she was being watched…

<Oh? Your grace! Pardon me for showing you an unsightly figure… I was immersed in my thoughts and the horizon with the setting sun served as the perfect scenery>

She said with a shy expression on her face, what an innocent little girl isn’t she? Well she is fooling you all.

Because this whole farce is an imitation of the Duchess that died years ago to revive the memories of the past all to conquer the Duke

<You… who taught you that song…>

<Song? Ah that’s just a small tune I have been randomly singing by habit… is there a problem with it your grace?>

The ball is in his field… my next action will be determined by his reply, it's either my way or the highway old man, say it…  SAY IT!

<That song… she used to sing it whenever she had a free time, just why in the world do the two of you look alike… it makes me sick>

Wow… such a melodramatic response! What is he? A broken hearted maiden? Did some villainess bully you or something? Ughh focus ME! You still need to keep striking!

<Like her…? Your grace I don’t understand… am I acting like someone unpleasant?>

Say her name!

<Ha… what do you even know… after all you were the one who killed her>

Here he goes again! Now that’s the Cassius I know!

He was about to leave when Satiana murmured

<I haven’t killed anyone…>

<Hein? > he turned and looked down upon Satiana…

<I said I haven’t killed ANYONE!>

<You did, you took her away from me!>

<I did not! I never ever have chosen to be born in the first place! I didn’t and you know it! You cannot blame a child for being born... not after you have conceived it!>

<Are you saying I am the responsible one? Impudent!>

<And yet that is the truth! After all like it or not, I am your daughter from both of you>

<SHUT UP! Insolent brat! I have never wanted you! No one ever wanted you!>

<That’s not true! There was someone whom wanted me and kept me giving me my best chance to live! And we both know who that person was!>

<Don’t talk like if you knew her! You don’t know how much I loved her! And how devastated I am because of losing her! You don’t know anything!>

<I don’t know, yes I don’t know how you feel! Because you at least had the chance to spend a moment with her! Unlike me who can never dream of even seeing her face once! I will say it too! You don’t know how I feel! The loneliness I had to endure! The suffering and hatred for such a stupid reason! I didn’t want her to die! I didn’t kill her! I only want her to hold me in her arms and sing for me to sleep! I only want to be unconditionally loved and not discriminated against! I have tried over and over to please you… but it will always be for vain! I guess it will only be a dream for me to call you father and receive a kind smile…>

She started crying with a sorrowful expression after letting out all the resentment she held deep inside her be exposed to the world… at that moment she wasn’t lying and acting, but in fact it was the mass of sorrows that cumulated in her throat over the long years and lifetimes

It seems like eve in this life I won’t be having a good relationship with my family…
