Chapter 762 Star Spirit
Despite being a star spirit created by the world, Gemini has its background story. As King Leon decides to take care of this mischievous star spirit, he also collects all the legends and myths about them.
Among them, he finds a unique story about Gemini, a twin mischievous child abandoned by their parents and searching for their home. Their mischievous nature is their act to draw attention and find a good home.
In fact, this story is close to the real truth. As a long-lived being, Gemini no longer has any desire like when they first created. However, it didn't mean they could abandon their mischievous nature and love for 'Home'.
At some point, Gemini star spirits no longer want a home of their own but still interest people who appreciate their home. By coincidence, King Leon and Duchess Amberblaze are the people who know the importance of home.
They even sacrifice their true feelings for the stability of the Heart Kingdom, their home. Their sincere feeling and desire attracted Gemini. The Twin Star Spirit wants to stay with these people to enjoy and feel their home.
After a while, King Leon and Gemini emerge from the unknown inhabited forest. He finds himself close to the new emerging volcano. Their sudden appearance was also noticed by Angus and others who are still investigating the area.
"Your Majesty!!" saluted the Victory knights and others.
"At ease, everyone. There is no problem here. Just send some experts to research the area and secure the perimeter. You could go back to the station and report to your superior." said King Leon.
The knights looked at each other in confusion but didn't dare to say anything. Moreover, they feel uncomfortable being stared at by the twin Gemini from King Leon's shoulder behind. These stares give an eerie and creepy feeling.
"Gemini!!" called Anna from afar.
"Anna!!" called the twin Gemini while coming down from King Leon's shoulder.
"Did Gemini play without Anna again?" asked Anna while pouting.
The twin Gemini looked at each other before replying.
"No. We don't play anything." lied the twin Gemini without changing their creepy smiling face.
While Anna and Gemini are chatting with each other, Angus and Jayna also approach King Leon.
"I didn't expect to find Your Majesty here." said Angus.
King Leon didn't reply and stared coldly at the nearby bowing knights.
As if noticing his signal, "T-Then, we will excuse first." said the nearby knight captain and received King Leon's nod.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter the knight took a distance, "There is no way I could stay still when these two naughty girls suddenly disappeared." said King Leon.
"Said someone who never cared about his own child." retorted Jayna from the side.
"Jayna…" called Angus with a helpless sigh.
"It's okay. She is right. I am a truly incompetent father who couldn't even protect his daughters. However, I am still glad you found your path and happiness, Jayna." King Leon said gently.
"Gasp!! Stone face is smiling!!" commented twin Gemini from the side.
"Ohh.. no!! There will be a disaster coming. Ehh… Didn't disaster have already arrived? Fiuuhh… Make Anna nervous for a moment." said Anna playfully.
King Leon ignores the three naughty troublemakers from the side and still looks at Jayna gently. Over the years, the father and daughter relationship has not been as strained as before. However, it also didn't mean they were very close.
Furthermore, Jayna is busy with her daily training and caring for Anna. On the other hand, King Leon is busy with his own work as the nation's leader. They didn't have any time to meet and talk to each other. It could be said Angus is more closer to this stoic king than Jayna.
"I.. I… Anna, let's look around first. Maybe there is a wild pig nearby." said Jayna as she tried to escape the situation.
"Ehh… Wild Porky?! Hurry! Hurry!" said Anna excitedly.
Jayna wasn't accustomed to King Leon's sudden care. In all her life, King Leon may be closer to her than his other sons. However, he still behaves very coldly, putting a deep psychological shadow on Jayna's mind.
While Jayna leaves her father and lover behind, the twin Gemini already disappears without sound. Everyone is already used to this, as Gemini's presence is very hard to perceive if they don't reveal themselves.
"So, I assume this is a mess created by Gemini?" asked Angus.
"Yeah. Another Star Spirit comes to intrude on us and get retaliated harshly by them. Gemini could become quite territorial sometimes." said King Leon without explaining much.
"Another star spirit? Is there anything we should worry about?" asked Angus.
"Nothing. Besides Gemini's 'prank' as usual." replied King Leon casually.
"Really?" asked Angus with a frown.
"Don't underestimate Gemini, kid. They may look like mischievous kids, but they are the strongest among the star spirits. If they want, they could destroy the world easily." said King Leon.
"I-I see… Then, I should keep looking out for them. Who knows if they will create another disaster." said Angus before leaving King Leon alone.
Angus also didn't want to stay with King Leon and have more annoying talk.
Meanwhile, deep inside an unknown forest a bright starlight is gathering around a hideous beastly creature while holding a bow and arrow.
"Gemini is betraying us!!" roared the beastly creature.
"Hmph!! What did I tell you?! You should never trust those girls." grumped one of the starlights.
"Should we fight them then?" asked another starlight.
"They disturb the balance." said another starlight.
"Calm down, everyone. Sagi, is what you said true?" asked another starlight.
"Of course. They eradicated my beast horde before I could even say anything." replied the beastly creature.
"Wait… Don't tell me you lead a beast horde to their location?" asked another starlight.
"Yes. Now, they need to pay for those poor beasts." said Sagi.
"Sagi, did your brain rot from smelling too much animal poop?! Gemini is famous for being overprotective regarding their 'Home'. It is already good that they didn't launch meteors here." retorted another starlight.
"B-But…" replied Sagi sheepishly.
"Still, it doesn't mean we could just let go of Gemini's action." said another starlight.
"Then, what should we do?" asked another starlight.
"What else… We just need to fight them together." said another starlight.
"That's not good, Lee. Despite their childish appearance, Gemini possesses the power to destroy the world. If we truly force them, the world will suffer." another starlight said.
"Why don't we try to talk to them again? Pis, how about you go this time?" asked another starlight.
"There are still three months until my appearance. Why not Aku first? His power is not too different than us." said Pis Starlight.
"Gem are two people and you are also two. I think it is balanced." said another Starlight.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Shut it with your balance, Liby!! No one wants to hear your balance bullshit." snorted another Starlight.
"Why don't you go, Cap? You are the wisest among us. Your turn is also after Sagi." said another starlight.
"Hmm… I wonder if Gem wants to talk to me. They seem to be avoiding me." said Cap Starlight.
"Pfft… Hahahaha. That's because you look like a perverted old grandpa. No child wants to get near you." said another Starlight.
"That's enough, Tarus. Pio's suggestion is right. Cap, you should try to contact Gem when it is your turn next. Sagi's way of manifesting is too messy and only provokes Gem. Besides, none of us is getting along with each other." said another Starlight.
"Tch… Fine. I still prefer to fight that annoying Gem." said Lee Starlight.
"Me too." replied Tarus Starlight.
"I am fine with it." replied Cap Starlight.
"It's better than going out. We hate going out." said Pis Starlight.
"Everything for the balance." said Liby Starlight.
"Shut up, Liby!!" retorted everyone.
Unbeknown to Angus and the others, another Star spirit will come to Heart Kingdom shortly.
After leaving King Leon, Angus and Jayna come back to Victory Mansion after giving some instruction to the knights nearby. Although the new volcano has no longer erupted, the whole area is still dangerous since it is unstable.
They still need to secure the perimeter carefully to prevent any accidents. Moreover, the new volcano also formed near the main road. Any passerby could get into an accident if they didn't handle this matter properly.
Arriving at the Victory Mansion, "Brother, how is it? I hear a new volcano suddenly formed. Also, is it true that His Majesty suddenly came here?" asked Jason anxiously.
"Don't worry about the new volcano. It will not be a problem for us. As for His Majesty, he just happens to be nearby and probably returning to the capital now. Now, we should talk about the territory." said Angus.
"Is there something wrong?" asked Jason.
Although Angus is never involved in managing the territory, Jason knows his youngest brother has keen eyes and a unique mind-related power.
Hence, Jason never underestimates Angus' suggestion or warning. This is also one of His Father's mandates when he manages the territory.
After a few hours of talking about the territory and Angus' future plan for the farm facility, Angus goes towards the training ground and leaves Jason to do his work. Inside the training ground, he finds Jayna training her balance while wearing tight training clothes.
