~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~

~~~(Location: Walking to Teleportation Gate in Meldro, The Kingdom of Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 1:29 PM)~~~

All the information that Cera gave me will come in handy. Once I'm in Yordase, my first objective is to find Regelia. The woman that might have a connection to Zarmade. It's the information that Cera provided, and he's never wrong.

Once I'm in Yordase, I don't know where to start searching. And going around asking people where I can find Regelia won't work. It'll set off alarms and make her run, which isn't what I want.

Following what the men said when I questioned them... There are Airships, Carriages, and Storage Containers that house these women. All I have to do is follow one of those to Regelia. But finding one won't be easy.

These are all things that I need to figure out on my own. Cera could help, but he'd know the same amount as I do. I'm willing to bet he doesn't know about what I figured out today.

"I thought that I wouldn't be involved with that dark part of my past again... But now that it's coming back, it's clear that it was inevitable... Killing the James Family has liberated me... I wonder where this will lead me..."

I honestly can't say where this will take me... My Father doesn't know me, and I don't know my Father... All I know for sure is he's doing something good for the world. And that's something I can be proud of...

Mom would've probably loved to see him again... Cera accepted me regardless of the things done to me in the past... I can see my Father doing the same thing for my Mom if they could've met again.

That's setting my hopes too high for my own good, if I'm being honest... Cera is special in a lot of ways... And the way he loves me and treats me despite being an unwilling Sex Slave to other men shows something I can't describe...

To be fair, it all happened long before he was born... I escaped that life nearly 83 years ago... But he healed me... Gave me everything I needed and more...

My thoughts are stopped as I approach the Teleportation Gate, and I pay the 300 Gold fee to transport. I select my destination of Yordase City, and I'm taken in a flash of light.

After a second, I'm let out on a platform, and I look around. It's way different than what I was expecting.

What makes it different are all the different races that are here. Any sentient humanoid race is within view, and this is just a regular city within The Empire of Larmodies. I couldn't imagine what the capital looks like.

"You look like you haven't been here before, Player. Would you like a guide?"

A voice grabs my attention, and I turn to see who it is, and it's another NPC Turned Player like me. I know what this is. It's a tactic to take advantage of people not from around here.

"I'm fine."

The man puts up his hands in mock defeat and steps away. Seeing that I've made him. I'm going to have to be careful around this place. The first person that talked to me tried to take advantage of me. I doubt Cera would've even acknowledged the man.

It's a tactic I haven't mastered yet, and that's because I find it hard to let things unimportant to me go. If someone tried that with Cera, it wouldn't make a difference in his mind.

Now that I'm actually in Yordase, that also means I'm officially in The Larmodies Empire. And I don't know how long I'm going to be here, but I hope it's not that long.

~~~(Location: The Road of Marbode, Southern Brazilian Continent)~~~

~~~(Time: 2:40 PM)~~~

Cera and I talked for a while, and I updated him on everything I'm doing down here in the South. He's in Zenith right now, staying in a Mansion. I'm a little jealous right now, but apparently, he's got some important friends there.

I've been giving what Angelus told me a lot of thought... How I'm the one that will help guide Cera on his destiny... I'm worried, though... I don't know what his destiny entails...

He's my little brother, and I care about him a lot more than I'd ever admit to caring, and from the way Angelus made it sound, he's got an important role... If not the most important role...

I'm trying to keep my mind off it... But it's really been the only thing I think about anymore... Even on this lonely road to the heart of the Southern Continent.

"What am I supposed to do, Cera... Should I tell you what I know... Angelus never said I couldn't... You told me your secrets, and I shouldn't keep this from you either... I already jeopardized our relationship once, and I won't do it again..."

My mind is made up, and I'm going to tell Cera what I've come to learn from Angelus. But since he told me that he'd be busy until tomorrow, so that's when I'll tell him. For now, I'll be thinking of ways to broach the subject.

And speaking of talking to people, Sally hasn't gotten back to me in any way. I'm hoping she'll forgive my terrible prank soon... It was nice to have her as my friend...

There might come a time when we can talk about it.

But giving it thought now won't do me any good. So it's time I focus on my quest down here. I've been given a bounty on the head of the King to the Kingdom I'm heading to. It's not what I do, but the rewards are insane.

I also wouldn't mind becoming a Kingslayer like my brother. He's killed royalty in the past, and I don't want to fall behind in accomplishments like that.

~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Mansion, The Kingdom of Zenith)~~~

~~~(Time: 4:12 PM)~~~

Amelia and I are resting in the study, and she's calmly eating some of her favorite desserts. I'm joining her on this rare occasion. But she has a large frown on her face, and that's from the unexpected visit of King Jackson and Queen Tessa.

They've been talking back and forth between each other and me. However, they haven't had any luck getting a conversation started with Amelia, which is understandable.

This is supposed to be our time together, and it's getting interrupted like this.

"So, Angel Zern... What are you doing in Zenith, to begin with? It would've been nice to know you were stopping by... I could've arranged a time for us to meet outside of interrupting you two..."

Jackson is doing his best to keep the talks on positive terms. But Amelia is growing increasingly impatient at their presence here.

"I'm here on my final Tier-up quest for the time being. I'm actually looking for a man. You might know him. He goes by Kris Martim."

They both look like the name has no meaning to them, and that's a bummer. I was hoping they knew something about the man I'm after. But it doesn't look like it.

Before anyone can say anything, Amelia clears her throat and stares at the two.

"As much as I love the company of The White Haired Saint Queen and The King of Freedom, I would like private time with my son back. Thank you."

She leaves no room for discussion and even uses their monikers instead of their names. They get the hint and stand up. Taking off with a plum of smoke behind them.

"Now that they're gone, can you continue telling the story of your fight to get your Divine Aura? You left right at the good part at the arrival of Fenrir."

She's enjoying my stories more than I thought, and I'm glad. But I can still see an overprotective glint in her eyes when things get dangerous in my stories.
