Chapter 157: Millenia of Frustration
Chapter 157: Millenia of Frustration
Saharos Empire, Yasrib.
Imperial Palace.
The night had already plunged the whole capital deep into darkness. The lights of the cities were still flickering here and there. It was like the city refused to shut it's eyes. And plunge into the darkness.
The whole spectacle was beautiful from above. From the Imperial Palace, that is.
One Person who always had the habit of looking at the capital, in the night.
Her piercing dark blue eyes, like gems shining in the darkness.
Blond hair, beautiful white tender skin.
Her Europeans features, gave her a sense of profound elegance. Her whole body seemed beautiful, yet frail, like she was made of glass.
By her side, her younger brother wore a grave expression.
She stared deeply at the silent capital, like she always did, as she spoke to her dear brother:
"My Prince. Since you are here. The Carriage must be ready."
The Princess had a sweetly sounding laugh as she shyly whimpered:
"To think. My exit of the Saharos Empire would be done in such a low-key manner."
"This situationHow amusing."
The Prince had an extremely handsome, yet cute face. He seemed like a charming boy, that would set ablaze the Maternal Instinct of any older woman.
"Older SisterI"
"Maybe you shouldn't go after all. If you give me one more day. I can even try-"
He was stopped in his tracks, by his sister's simple gesture. It was simple wave, yet in this sweet gesture. There was a sign of sanctity that seemed inviolable:
"I am not particularly against this decision."
His worried voice didn't stop:
"But!!"
She seemed to enjoy the worry of the prince:
"You probably think that he sent me over there to reduce my political influence, right?"
"Since I took the side of the Crown PrinceThat is"
The Prince only kept silent. The Princess shook her head, somewhat worried about this brother of hers:
"RiquelmeTell me honestly. When you look at this capital. What do you feel?"
The Prince's gaze moved to the endless scenery. He admired the City, as he spoke:
"Strength, Majesty, PrideYasrib is after all, the Center of the World."
The Princess had a small smile on her rosy thin lips:
"Is that so"
The Prince nodded, a little emotional.
He remembered, how, since her dear youth. His Elder Sister, Raquela Saharan, would spend hours just staring in daze at the capital. She always seemed to hold a thoughtful and serious gaze.
'Sister really loves Yasrib, after all.'
She looked once again, at the capital as if she was carving the scenery into her skull.
"That must be nice."
"As for me'
Her fair little hand on the ceramic fence of her balcony, suddenly seemed to clench:
"The only thing I feel is endless frustration."
She was bitting lightly her upper lip, in a charming manner that conveyed her feeling but still somewhat restrained.
The Prince had his eyes wide open in shock. He rarely even saw his omniscient and calm sister express such feelings.
"Do you remember the attack on the Capital Earlier?"
"There was absolutely no material, nor citizen damage."
The Prince had weird eyes:
"WhatThere was atleast some damage. I saw-"
"I know what you saw Riquelme."
"Immediately after that Rogue disappeared. It was as if nothing happened."
"What? How does"
The Princess chuckled:
"Reports came in, from the Magic towers. It seems an internal mechanism of the city was somehow activated."
"The City literally distorted reality and made it so there was no damage whatsoever."
The Prince had his mouth opened:
"How could it beReality distortionEven"
The Princess laughed:
"Even the gods would find it difficult to achieve indeed."
"Even our Mighty Emperor, our Father, whose power would surpass Saharos in the next few years. Is unable to do that"
"And you know what's worse about that?"
She stared daggers at the city, like it was her mortal enemy:
"It's that we never even knew about such functionality."
The Prince had sparkling eyes:
"Isn't that good news?!"
The Princess sighed:
"My BrotherDon't you rememberFrom whom did we take this city?"
The Prince finally ticked; his expression darkened. The Princess had the same smile:
"This City was built by Lorengar the First Himself."
"And since eonssince immemorial times.It has been the capital of the Vega Dynasty."
"Every Dynast, every monarch, every Emperor of that Dynasty, lived here."
"Shared his happiness anger, love and hatred. Sweat and Blood on this same city."
"And contributed to this city."
"In Ancient Records, it's even said to have become a living organism. That changes and adapts to each citizen's own wishes."
"Becoming a Welcoming Home for each of his inhabitants."
She narrowed her eyes:
"It can grow and build itselfIt is even said, that during the Era of one of the 5 Great Monarchs. It's size reached that of the whole continent."
"The wholeYou mean the Astaroth Continent?!!"
The Princess took a deep breath:
"At that timeThe size of an Average continent was much bigger. So it's difficult to pin point."
"It's citizen were said to be immortal, incapable of sickness and incapable of natural death."
"The Average life span broke through the Million Years."
"A normal citizen had the time to experience everything there was to existence from the life of a servant to the life of a Noble."
"All thatJust by the simple legacy left by the Previous Emperors."
The Prince was completely baffled. He was left silent for a while:
"ButWhere is all this now?"
The Princess sighed:
"It's all still here."
"The scriptures, the mechanism, the legaciesthe solutions to all of our problems."
She smiled wryly:
"Yet, even after Hundred of Thousands of years we couldn't decipher even 5 percent."
"This 5 Percent already make Yasrib the powerful bastion that rules over the continent of today."
The Prince seemed to be struck in the back. Raquela smiled bitterly:
"This city had it's own willYet never showed such feature before"
"Don't you find it funny Riquelme?"
Her hand clenched even harder:
"How this city keep taunting us?"
"After all this yearsIt's still very much alive."
She took a deep breath, as she midly calmed herself:
"And it's not only thatThe Yasrib City is only an example."
"The Ancestral Imperial Tombs, The Immortal soldiers sanctuary, the Bestiary"
Racela spoke gravely:
"Do you understand?"
"Since the mighty Saharos took Yasrib for his own rule. We've been living in the ashes of a stolen glory."
"Running after the Shadow of their traces"
"In every piece, every shadow, every parcel of this continent. Lay the Mystery of this Dynasty."
"Every progress we make, every step we make forward, is only to makes us realize the futility of our understanding."
"The Saharos Dynasty have been living these last Hundred Thousand of Years haunted by the Ghost of the Past Vega Monarchs."
"Overshowed and Humbled by their blinding greatness."
She narrowed her eyes:
"The Humiliation of living everyday haunted by everlasting greatness."
"This the reality of our Empire. And the Reality of Saharos Empire."
"The Vega Dynasty may have abandoned this land."
Her eyes seemed to be raging with unhidden frustration:
"But this land never abandoned her."
"This is the truth, that I have come to live with since my youth."
She took a deep breath:
"This frustrationI always thought I was the only one feeling it."
"Until I met Father a few weeks ago."
She had a charming smile that blinded even the moonlight.
"He kept an indifferent and imposing demeanor, during the whole report."
She chuckled in derision:
"Only the mention of the phenomena in Yasrib, made his expression change."
"EvenHimThe Strongest Emperor of our Dynasty."
"The Man's whose simple existence is enough to struck fear in the other's continent hearts."
"Is not immune to such frustration."
She narrowed her eyes:
"Do you understand, nowRiquelme..."
"Why he sent me there?"
A cold glint appeared on her dark blue eyes:
"And why I would have asked to be sent there even if I wasn't ordered?"
She took a deep breath:
"The Emperor knows his daughter very wellAnd knows the many complains I have."
"There is many subjects when we don't agree."
"But he knows he can trust me on this assignment."
She had a complex gaze:
"I don't know why the Vega Dynasty still exists to this day."
"I don't know why we were forced to exil them, either"
"MaybeIt was pityBut I really doubt it."
"But, this time it's a good occasion."
"WeBe it the Saharos DynastyBe it the people of the Lower Primordial Realm"
"We've been stuck in past glories, we've been stuck, and neither one of us has been able to forget."
"The Chains of the Vega Dynasty needs to be broken."
"This time we shall end what we began that time with the other Four."
She had a calm, yet powerful blue fire was burning in her eyes:
"This timeThe Vega Dynasty shall meet its end."
"Even if we a brough together to the brink of destruction."
"Even if all that remains of this continent is mere ashes and blood."
Her eyes seemed to hold powerful imperial light.
" We shall make it so that they don't exist anymore."
"Even if we cease to exist with them."
She smiled lightly:
"This Shall be our Ultimate Victory."
