Night of the Soulless Heathens – 155



#155. The Usurper 1

At that moment the quartz throne began to glow on its own.

“That’s ridiculous!”

All the people who were watching were terrified.

The throne glowed on its own emitting a pulsating fierce light from within.

It is the light of the king.

“I’ve never seen anything this powerful…”

One of the old vassals couldn’t stand it anymore and muttered. And those words became the wedge. The vassals and the guards didn’t dare to resist the woman who had taken the throne and just watched the situation.

“Knights your strength has returned. Proceed to the castle gates and save the people.”

“….”

The knights of the King’s Church who were among the vassals were perplexed.

“Don’t make me laugh! You’re a kingslayer! What are you… Kkaaaak!”

Sir Aldov resisted but at that moment his arm was severed.

“How rude.”

As Kazas raised his hand he found himself holding Lord Aldoff’s arm. Kazas opened his mouth and bit into the muscle of the forearm ripping it off.

“Eek!”

“Elf!”

But then Aldis rebuked Kazas.

“Don’t scare them Kazas.”

“I apologize. This is the Emperor’s presence.”

Kazas immediately apologized spat out the contents of his mouth and prostrated himself before Aldis.

“….”

“Wait. If it’s Kazas….”

“Demon King Kazas!?”

“The Demon King who eats the Grimoire! Are you alive?”

Among the vassals the old scribes were terrified when they heard Kazas’ name.

“Right now we all need to work together to survive. For now I think I need to use all my power to stop the wind and rain so Knights I need your help.”

As Aldis said that the wind and rain stopped.

The power of the light of the King’s Flower is clearly felt. A light of hope begins to rise in the hearts of those who had been trampled by the power of great evil just a moment ago.

Only a few people resisted this and felt bewilderment and distrust. Most people did not doubt that Aldis Jedah was the true queen due to the royal light she radiated.

“ah….”

“And the Emperor’s Herald the 108th Herald Azadin.”

Aldis called Azadin in his usual gentle voice.

“yes.”

Azadin prostrated himself before her. Although still confused Aldis was an irresistible presence to Azadin.

His godmother was the object of his admiration his love and almost everything he loved.

But what is she now?

“I lift the curse of service from you. I also raise your rank so that you are now the Second Lord of the Order and I bestow upon you the name of Jedaha.”

“….”

“You are now known as Azadin Jedah the Second Spirit of the Emperor.”

“Thank you for the great honor.”

It was an extraordinary reward and promotion.

Second Commander. It is said that the hierarchy does not have much meaning in the Herald Clan but things are different when you reach the Second Commander level.

The Second Commander was a position that Aldis had held until now. Aldis who had declared himself Emperor was no longer a Herald so he passed the position on to Azadin.

And what’s more Jeddah’s name?

Azadin who was considered the most impious and lowly of the messenger clans known for being impious was given the position of second commander and the name of the Jedah clan.

If it were the Azadin of the past he would have been so moved that he shed tears from his eyes that were not there.

But now he was not at all moved. Instead his body was trembling. An indescribable sensation was torn apart and torn apart Azadin’s mind and body like a storm.

“And Zion Etar!”

Unlike Azadin who was confused the one who was called this time prostrated himself with confidence like a sword.

“yes!”

“Embrace the traitor Arael and his supporters. I don’t want to see any bloodshed.”

“gladly!”

‘…He was of the Etar bloodline.’

Only then did Azadin realize what was happening.

As the Arael tribe rapidly increased its power it incorporated the Etar clan but in fact the Etar clan had already been in talks with Aldis.

So I was able to seize the throne at a very opportune time.

“ha ha ha.”

Arael looked around at this situation.

“Oh Arael!”

The only one standing next to Arael was Zenith who was also disguised as a maid. To disguise herself as a maid her only weapons were the moon bow attached to her body and a dagger.

Kahsan and Nefty were perplexed but they seemed to be standing still to watch the situation. Dimia who was tied up with ropes was also perplexed.

“What the heck is this…..”

“That’s great Aldis. I shouldn’t have made fun of you. I didn’t even know you were in league with him and I was suspicious of Leader Hatir.”

“Arael. Now is not the time for us to fight amongst ourselves. I am also your godmother. If you join hands with me I will forgive your past sins and give you the name of Jedaha. I will not forgive you for the sin of murdering the elders or stealing the copy of the Book of the King. A talented person like you will be absolutely necessary to overcome the trials to come.”

“Aldis. I won’t go through all this humiliation to become your adopted daughter. I won’t leave this place!”

Arael said so and glanced at Dimia who was tied up next to Azadin.

At that moment Azadin unconsciously moved his hand and cut one of the ropes that was binding Dimia.

The most important of the ropes that bound Dimia was the one that narrowed the distance between her hands and feet making it impossible for her to use her strength.

As soon as he cut that rope Dimia immediately cut the other rope and started to run away after Arael.

“Oh my!”

“Catch him!”

Those who appeared to be Zion Etar’s subordinates were already in the audience room and they tried to catch Arael and her followers who were running away but those they were trying to catch were thrown around in a flash of light.

“I guess I’ll have to do this.”

“Stop it.”

Aldis stopped Kazas from pursuing Arael.

“Right now we should not fight amongst ourselves but protect Coral Sahar as a priority. The light of the King’s Flower has returned and given strength to the Paladins but that alone will not be enough. Steward! And Captain of the Royal Guard!”

“….”

“Are you talking about us?”

They were suddenly called out and were taken aback.

Was it a purge? But the messenger clan was already stationed nearby holding bows.

If you don’t do as you are told you will die.

The captain and the janitor walked over to the captain’s body lying dead on the floor.

“We will open all our arsenals and send the reserves back to the front. We need your cooperation.”

“But the soldiers were just replaced a short while ago…”

“The light of the King’s Flower will be with them. They will definitely win. That is if you all cooperate with me sincerely!”

Aldis’ voice was so beautiful and graceful that it was believable just by listening to it.

In fact it was a story with little basis for belief but the captain of the guard and the janitor knelt down and prostrated themselves before Aldis without saying a word.

“yes!”

“Okay then I will give you detailed instructions.”

Aldis said this and unfolded the map of Yang Castle as if he were the ruler who had ruled Coral Sahar from the beginning and began to draw up a defense plan.

All the vassals were fascinated as they watched her unfold her defensive plan.

No one here doubted that she was the true king for the light of the crown had already captured their hearts.

*********

Azadin fled from the king’s audience chamber.

His colleagues followed him. They all looked worried.

“Hey Captain. Are you okay?”

“Ugh!”

Azadin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and fell to the floor.

I can’t breathe well. This has been a very rare occurrence since I learned the Kazas method.

This is something that would happen when you are out of breath from intense training and combat but now even though nothing is going on something is suffocating you.

“You’ve been usurped so coolly. Everyone is fascinated. You’ve murdered the king right before their eyes and no one is holding you accountable.”

Zibek felt sorry for Ancetus IV who was killed in an instant.

“In a sense that is the power of the king. But he is truly the grandson of the emperor… What will you do? Azadin.”

“I need to meet Arael first.”

Azadin said so and called out to the Emperor’s voice.

[It’s been a while Azadin. How have you been?]

“Rather than saying he’s safe… is it true that Aldis is of the Emperor’s blood?”

[She is the daughter of the Emperor and Harconia. She is truly the Emperor’s direct granddaughter.]

“Age…..”

The Emperor’s granddaughter is out of sync with the times. However those with strong Yaegasu blood flowing through their veins can sometimes remain young for hundreds of years.

[Is it for nothing that the elders of Aragasa held her in such high esteem?]

“I told you earlier. I need to meet Arael. Can you track Arael’s location?”

[She has given up her position as messenger and is using her artificial spirit instead. She cannot be found by magic. But I think she will find you too.]

“I think so too. And I think… so do they.”

Indeed Zion Etar approached Azadin.

“Second Commander Azadin Jedah.”

“Zion Etar.”

“First of all congratulations on your promotion. We all know how loyal you have been to the Senate so even if you are the younger brother of the traitor Arael everyone will agree to this promotion. And your skills are also quite impressive.”

“Hmm. The younger brother of the traitor Arael. Everyone here calls me younger brother too.”

“What’s the point? There’s nothing to inherit. Well if I become a member of the Jedaha clan then it’s a different story.”

“What will happen to those who were deceived by the tribe of Arael?”

“Our Etar clan insists that they should be purged but Lord Aldis is not the kind of person to do that. He says that we should give them a chance to convert.”

“What about conversion? Do you think it will go well?”

“It will be okay. Lord Aldis will now give you everything that the Arael tribe promised you.”

“….”

That is Aldis will continue to do what the Arael tribe did: summon the beings of the Nether create the Age of Jupiter bring disaster upon the Hybris shake their country and kill innocent people.

It was a truly painful story for Azadin.

Aldis would never be one to condone such senseless massacre and horrific revenge but she loved Aragasa too much. Everyone in the Aragasa Herald Clan desperately wanted it and she alone would not be able to overturn it on her own.

“Aldis needs help.”

“…What are you talking about?”

“You have to help him Azadin.”

Zion Etar saw through Azadin’s mind.

Sensing that Azadin was shocked that the Ethar bloodline was a double agent and ready to plunder everything Arael had built Sion Ethar approached Azadin to convince him.
