Chapter 632 Lost since the Empire\'s creation.
"That\'s crazy." Brian rubbed his head before taking a seat and
looking at them with an inquisitive look on his face.
"What?" Camilla and Tessie asked in unison.
"What decision did you guys take?" A confused
expression was written all over his face because wasn\'t that the main reason they
were all here in the first place.
"Oh…" Brian\'s question brought their minds back to reality.
"After a lot of considerations, we finally decided to
accompany you on your journey to find the gate out of this prison." Camilla
announced and Tessie nodded in agreement.
"That\'s nice to hear, thank you so much." Blake embraced Camilla
and Tessie.
"What time are we leaving?" Brian asked once the three were
done being all touchy.
Blake turned to Camilla and Tessie, expecting them to
protest since it sounded so sudden, but to his surprise, they also had the same
look on their faces.
\'Well, it makes sense.\' Blake said to himself as he
remembered that the Ash Corps no longer existed meaning Camilla was currently
unemployed.
The same went for Tessie. With the volatile state of the empire,
almost all businesses were put on hold especially those of noble families. This
meant that the Winchester family\'s logistics business was also on pause.
"Now?" Blake asked as he rose to his feet.
"Alright…" The three agreed as they all rose to their feet
and came closer.
Blake would have loved to comment on how he didn\'t need them
to come close for them to be teleported, but he chose to keep it to himself as
he waited for Ebony and Ivory to turn to their miniature form and hop on his
shoulders before warping them away.
The group found themselves in the corridor leading to the
Synder throne room. It was an impressive, grand passageway, designed to awe all
who entered.
Tall, ornate marble columns lined both sides and the stone walls were
adorned with rich tapestries depicting ancient battles and heroic legends, each
telling a story of the conquered Empire\'s storied past. A plush red carpet,
embroidered with golden threads, stretched the length of the corridor, guiding
visitors toward the massive doors of the throne room.
"The atmosphere already feels suffocating, imagine what it would
have been like when Synder was still alive." Brian was in awe as this was the
first time any one of them except for Blake had been to the capital\'s palace.
"What about Damon? What happened to him?" Tessie remembered and asked as
they made their way to the throne room.
Due to being caught up in a lot of things, they had all n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
forgotten about Damon which made them feel bad that they were just
remembering him now.
What even made it worse was that Damon and his family were
the ones in the most danger since they were part of the leaders of the former
empire.
"I haven\'t seen him, so I don\'t actually know, but I\'ll ask
The room was not only occupied by The All-Father and terrifying
my Dad once we are in." Blake replied as he pushed the large door open with no
difficulty.
On entering the throne room, Brian, Camilla and Tessie felt
primal fear washed over their entire bodies almost causing their legs to lose
their strength, if not for Blake who used telekinesis to hold them in place.
The room was not only occupied by The All-Father and terrifying
Battle Angels, but also by supreme killers who struck fear in the hearts of
many just by the mention of their names.
"Speaking of the devil." Blake was surprised to see that
standing not too far from Cassius were Jaeger Nyx and Damon.
"Is there something I don\'t know?" Blake asked Cassius,
further dissolving the tension in the air— the tension in his friends.
\'From the way Jaeger and Damon are standing quite close to
the throne, they didn\'t look anything similar to when Frostborne and Blackthorn
were here.\'
\'Wait a minute, where was Jaeger when Frostborne and
Blackthorn were here?!\' Blake was quite confused by the scene playing in front
of him.
Blake\'s thought process had been that if Cinder and Bryon had ended up dying in the battle, then it wasn\'t surprising if Jaeger had joined him. So he didn\'t think much about them, especially since he had a lot more fish to fry.
"Blake meet Jaeger Nyx, who you already know as the councillor of the Synder Empire, but is also the descendant of a mole sent to infiltrate the higher-ups of the Synder Empire." Cassius said with a devious smirk that sent the group\'s eyes wide.
"Say what now?" Blake was stunned by the revelation.
"When the humans split into two sides, I knew it was only a matter of decades before one of Valerius\' believers rose and united them to form an empire. So I sent someone to assist in the said person\'s rise and gain his trust." Cassius chuckled when he saw Blake\'s incredulous expression.
As the other 2nd group of humans were staunch believers of Valerius, it was certain that when the traitor had awakened from his forced slumber, he would meet the Emperor to reenact his plans.
With this master plan of theirs Cassius and the Tigeria Empire were aware of all plans communicated to the Synder Empire by Valerius including most of their tactics during the war.
\'They didn\'t stand a chance at all.\' Blake felt admiration towards his Dad\'s foresight and craftiness, but his friends couldn\'t help but t shiver at the revelation.
\'And I was hear thinking that we lost due to lack of fire, not knowing that we lost from the start of the Empire\'s creation!\' Camilla couldn\'t help but shake her head.
\'This just proves that going against ancient entities like Dad is no different from suicide, but I guess I will worry about that when we are finally out of this prison.\' Blake thought before walking forward.
"Welcome, and thank you for your services." Blake said with a sincere bow.
