The next day the Imperial Castle of Lion Heart Empire.
Lazarus, Iris and the others rode on the Ice Fenrir White Fang, Black Fire Fenrir Black Fang, Moonlight Fenrir Sirius, Golden Sun Fenrir Blade, Celestial Five Element Wolf Black Claws, and many others, Fire Cerberus Sun Flower and Ice Cerberus Snow Flower.
Altair rode on the back of the Black Hell Lion Aloysius, while Cassandra, Blossom, Elena, Cassandra, Rhys and Clara were on a horse carriage pulled by the 15th White Dragon Horse, who was also known as the Black Lion, 5 Baby White Dragon Horse running after the adult horse.
"Miss Cassandra, I've never been to a noble's party." Clara who had been dressed pretty in a beautiful purple dress said with a red face.
"No-Miss, I felt my body tremble." Rhys says.
"Rhys, you are a very handsome man with that suit." Cassandra smiled.
****************
Iris hugged the back of Lazarus who was on the back of Moonlight Fenrir Sirius.
"Urs, why haven't you done that in so long?" Iris asked.
"I'm busy and when I want to do it everyone's asleep. I don't want to disturb your rest and the most important thing is that I have a lot of problems on my mind." Lazarus answered.
The guards of the Lion Heart Empire opened the gates and allowed the Lazarus group to enter the Imperial Capital of Lion Heart Empire. They kept their contracted Beasts and chariots in the garden of Lion Heart Castle.
****************
"Lizzy, do you still want to be the Beast's guard?" Lazarus asked.
"I really like Beasts, even though I have a Swordman job. Mr. Urs, I refuse your offer to become the Knight Regulus, but if war happens. You can order me to go to the battlefield." Lizardman Lizzy replied.
"Do you want to come with us to enjoy the party?" Alastair asked.
"Saint Iris, I will take care of Sirius and this Beast. I'm not used to going to parties and meeting a lot of people." Lizzy smiled.
"All right." Lazarus says.
****************
The Regulus entered Regulus Castle. They saw many nobles there. Altair used all the money he had earned to renovate the Lion Heart Imperial Castle and the facilities of the Lion Heart Empire.
Building an orphanage, building the territory of the Lion Heart Capital, distributing it to the Nobles, paying the Lion Heart Empire's debt to Gold Bank, Investment and still a lot of money left.
"Lazarus, come here." Bell laughed out loud, he and the other 11 Regulus Nobles earned a lot of money from Cleon. Seen from the beautiful smile on their wives' faces and the jewelry they wear.
Lazarus glanced at Cleon, knowing that Cleon was an acute gambler. They have known each other for more than 5 decades and are well aware of each other's vices.
"Agnes." Lazarus says.
Agnes was Cleon's Wife and a very fat noblewoman, she was an example of a perfect noblewoman. Despite her bad nature, but she is a very intelligent, well-informed person and the perfect example of a noble woman.
Agnes is the teacher of Freya, Leticia, Elena, Celine, Blossom and Citrus to become the perfect noblewoman. Teach them the ways of being a noble woman, tea ceremony, playing musical instruments, cooking, sewing and all the things to be a noble woman in the Western Continent of Zephyra.
"Grand Duke, what do you need from me?" Agnes asked.
Freya, Leticia, Blossom, Celine, Carmen and Citrus were terrified when they saw Agnes. Although Agnes was a good person, but she was a tyranny, her words were sharper than a sword and she liked to wear a lot of fancy jewelry.
"His name is Clara, I'll leave it to your upbringing." Lazarus says.
"Sufuku. Beautiful, leave it to me." Agnes chuckled softly.
Helene, Elenio and Adrian enter the ball room. Baron Alvin Evans immediately hugged Anastasya when he saw it, while Lazarus walked to the 5 thrones that had been prepared. Altair's throne was made slightly higher than usual. Altair sits in the middle, the right is Lazarus and Helene, while the eastern thrones are Elenio and Adrian.
"Greetings of the Altair Lion Heart Empire, Greetings Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus..." Everyone is greeting.
It was seen that Alastair and Icarus were sitting not far away, they had a tense face in contrast to the other Nobles who were very happy.
"Haha. My son Athan is getting married in a week to Princess Erica Silver Deer. I'm so happy to see my eldest son decide to get married." Duke Elenio Aslan said.
Athan and the girl with Emerald green hair sat next to each other.
"Happy Duke Elenio Aslan." Everyone congratulated Elenio.
"Old grandfather, congratulations on Athan's marriage." Lazarus smiled.
"Black cat, you are the one who contributed greatly to the Aslan region and the marriage of Elenio. I've misjudged you and I'm sorry for my sins in the past." Elenio.
"Old grandfather, you are not wrong and have you fixed Aslan's territory? Have you repaired the "cumper" region, "Lazarus emphasizes the word slum.
"Haha. We've taken care of the slums. I have also done everything you have been told with the money you have given me. I've built many academies and built relationships with other Kingdoms and Empires." Elenio laughing.
"The "herbs that Edgard brings are very helpful. Claire and I have taken care of everything and I've renovated the slums. I rose to level 92 because of the herbs you gave me, even my hair went back to being blond slowly." Adrian laughing.
"Altair, are the 15 lights in this room a very rare Gem Material?" Lazarus smiled.
Altair broke out in a cold sweat hearing Lazarus question, he had yet to renovate the slums and was instead concerned about Lion Heart Castle.
"Sufuku. Urs, Cerulean Sapphire's price is very expensive and I think the price of 15 lamps is 5 billion gold coins." Florencia.
Lazarus smiled softly. "Games for Emperor Altair and the Lion Heart Empire. Everybody listen to me! Altair was an excellent Emperor, behind a good leader must be many talented and loyal people to be his subordinates. Along the way here, I saw the Imperial Capital being renovated and the residents smiling brightly due to the kindness of Emperor Altair. I really appreciate Altair being a good, fair and courageous leader. I will drink this Wine in honor of Emperor Altair Lion Heart." Lazarus said with a smile and raised his cup of wine.
All the Nobles and his family raised the Wine cup, but Altair and Icarus only raised the Wine limply. Instead there was a noble sitting down while looking down in fear.
"Sufuku. Let's enjoy this party." Florencia..
"Altair, as the host, why do you look tense?" Lazarus asked.
"Lazarus, I'm sorry." Altair says.
"Be quiet, none of this is your fault." Lazarus answered.
Helene, Adrian and Elenio feel Altair is hiding something. They had known him for a long time and had never seen an Altair like that.
"Haha. Emperors Altair, Lazarus, Amelia, Edgard, Athan, Cleon and Alastair, I congratulate you." Viscount Harry Laurel said.
"Harry, my wine feels bad and my appetite starts to go away when I see you." Lazarus smiled.
"Cat, black what are you saying at this party!" Adrian got up and shouted to Lazarus.
"Lazarus, what do you mean?" Viscount Harry stared intently at Lazarus with a frown on his forehead.
"Are you deaf or is there something wrong with your ears?"
Viscount Harry Laurel gave off a strong bloodthirsty aura. Viscount Harry was someone who was very temperamental and had high self-esteem.
"Lazarus, I have no grudge against you. Hasn't our relationship been okay all along? You have insulted me before Emperor Altair and everyone else, you are very arrogant for disrespecting Emperor Altair and all the Nobles who are here." Harry says.
"Harry, it was you who let out a bloodthirsty aura in this room. You're the one who doesn't respect Emperor Altair and everyone who's here." Lazarus says.
The noble Laurel's family is shocked to see that, Harry Laurel Anna's first wife and Marina's third concubine are unaware of the reason why Lazarus provoked their husband. Isabel's second concubine Viscount Harry Laurel bit her finger as she learned she would be put to death for being involved in the Black Cobra Group and the Fire Dog Group.
"Can you settle this dispute outside?" Count Ivan Ash said.
Harry took off his glove and threw it at Lazarus. "I challenge you to a duel Ksat.."
Before Harry Laurel could finish his words, Lazarus immediately struck him in the face. Lazarus continues to beat Harry using all his strength, but like a wild animal Harry retaliates against Lazarus. Everyone put up a layer of defense in the room and just sat frozen to see Lazarus and Harry fight, everyone went to the 2nd floor and put up a layer of defense on the first floor.
Lazarus slammed Harry into the lamp, then when Harry fell down he kicked him hard in the stomach. All the Nobles stared at Lazarus who continued to beat Harry, 10 minutes later Harry lay helpless as he spewed fresh blood. Lazarus just stood up while exhaling cigarette smoke.
"Bag, let's duel to the death!" Harry took out his Great Sword Artifact and shouted towards Lazarus. But Lazarus looked at him calmly, exhaling cigarette smoke.
Lazarus was covered by fire and turned into hundreds of tiny fire eagles. Harry tried to feel Lazarus, but suddenly Lazarus was behind him and kicked him until the gate opened.
"Sep them apart!" Florencia.
Elenio hugs Harry, while Adrian, Athan and Edgard hold Harry's body. They learn that Harry is out of his mind because of his anger.
"I will fight that bastard to the death!" Viscount Harry Laurel rebelled to break away from Elenio, but Duke Elenio's power was immense.
Altair, Helene, Alastair, Iris, Icarus and Calista went before Lazarus. They discover Lazarus wants to cripple Viscount Harry Laurel for life.
"Urs, stop!" Altair said to Lazarus.
"Altair, it was Harry who challenged me to a duel himself before me and you guys are trying to stop this Knight duel!"
"Urs, aren't you a forgiving Grand Duke? You have to stop this fight. I know you're very angry, but to have Harry maimed or killed Harry won't solve the problem." Iris says.
Lazarus walked slowly. "Stay out of my sight. I don't want all of you to get hurt and Altair is the one who challenged me first in the holy Knight duel! As an Emperor you know what a Knight duel "Lazarus is strengthening his aura The castle is shaking and everyone feels asphyxiation.
"Dad, I'll fight you!" Alastair gritted his teeth.
"Urs, you have to stop this fight!" Carissa yelling.
"I will accept all of his sentence and this matter is my personal matter with Harry. I originally did not want to fight, but that bastard challenged me in front of Altair and the 3 Duke. As Grand Duke Regulus and a Knight I must accept that challenge to maintain my pride." Lazarus says.
Alastair, Iris, Icarus, Akira, Freya, Helene and Carissa gave off their aura.
"I said you'd get hurt." Lazarus says.
Rhys ran towards Lazarus, then hugged Lazarus by the waist. "Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus, I beg you to stop this fight." Rhys sobbed.
Lazarus slowly withdrew his aura. "Rhys, do I have to cut off his leg or hand?"
"No! You can't do that, after all, she's my family! Even though she threw away my mother, but she always went to the slums to buy information from me. Grand Duke stop this fight, I beg you!" Rhys.
Harry widens his eyes when he sees Rhys, knowing the reason why Lazarus is trying to provoke him is Rhys.
"Harry, besides deafness. Are you blind and mute now? Adrianna and Rhys are now my family and members of The North Alliance. As a leader, I will definitely help them." Lazarus says.
"What's going on here? I don't understand anything!" Harry shouted.
Lazarus stepped towards Harry, but Adrian immediately confronted him.
"I admit defeat in this duel and I just want to talk to Harry." Lazarus says.
Adrian glanced at Elenio, then Elenio nodded. Lazarus drew closer to Harry, then gently hugged him.
"Harry, you mustn't lose your sanity after hearing all the facts. I know this is gonna sound really painful, but remember me, Altair, Edgard, Adrianna, Rhys, Ivan, Anna, Marina, Alvin and everyone who's here loves and supports you." Lazarus says.
"Lazarus, what's going on here? Can you tell me?" Harry asked with a pale face and gasping breath.
"Uncle Elenio, Uncle Adrian, Edgard and Athan, you must hold Harry firmly lest he go berserk after hearing everything." Altair says.
Icarus took Lotte, Enzo, the Prosecutor, the Judge and his subordinates to the Meeting room of the Lion Heart Imperial Castle.
"I've brought all the suspects, victims, witnesses and evidence of their crimes." Icarus says.
"Can the noble Laurel family come here?" Lazarus asked.
15 Harry's family went to Lazarus and the others. It was as if Isabel was trembling in fear looking at all those people.
Adrianna, Jean, Elise, Tiara, Quinn, Amaryllis and Consort Laura enter the meeting room. Harry was very surprised to see his eldest daughter so thin.
"I'm sorry for coming late." Magnolia, the Curtis Paladin, Valkyrie Irene and the group of the Holy Empire entered the party room of the Lion Heart Empire.
"Altair, I'll leave the rest to you and I'll just be an observer." Lazarus says.
the trial began.
Everyone widened their eyes when they heard Lotte's voice. Harry widened his eyes as he let out an extremely strong bloodthirsty aura, he wanted to tear Lotte and Isabel's bodies into pieces of flesh.
"Urs, we need help." Edgard says.
"Lime." Lazarus took Lime out of his Conception Artifact, then he turned into a rope to tie Harry's body.
"Take me off! I want to kill that cunning woman!" Harry shouted.
Count Ivan Ash looked only at Harry Laurel with a look of pity, he did not expect his enemies, friends and rivals to have fared so tragically. But the main suspect in this case is the snake woman Isabel.
Isabel was born in the slums, she grew into a beautiful green-haired woman and beautiful red eyes. Isabel is a cunning and manipulative woman who can do anything to achieve her goals.
Harry falls in love with Isabel when he accidentally meets her in the slums of the Lion Heart Empire. Harry is fascinated by Isabel's beauty and temptations, accepts her dark past and makes a second wife.
But behind Harry, Isabel has many lovers including Enzo, Lotte, Rian, Prosecutor and Judge of the Lion Heart Empire. He runs a dark business in the Lion Heart Empire and the slums without Harry's knowledge.
Adrianna sees Isabel's true nature and Isabel waits for an opportunity to get rid of Adrianna who will be a threat to her. Isabel finally gets a chance when Adrianna has a love affair with a Marcenary named Frank.
Isabel instigates Harry to expel Adrianna, taking advantage of Harry's temperamental nature and succeeding in expelling Adrianna from the House of Laurel's Nobles.
Actually Harry did not tell his subordinate Slade to destroy the flow of mana in Adrianna's body. Isabel seduces Slade and tells him to destroy the flow of mana in Adrianna's body.
Not getting there, Isabel wants to make Adrianna live a life worse than death. Isabel tells Lotte to kill Adrianna's husband, when she wants to go to Count Ash's territory and tells Lotte to give the narcotics to the depressed Adrianna.
Harry still sends money to Adrianna and her granddaughter through Slade. But Isabel, knowing about it, took half of Harry's money, then gave the rest to Slade and Lotte to give Adrianna so that Harry would not suspect.
But the cunning Lotte did not give it to Rhys, but rather he took it upon himself, then lent it to Rhys and the people in the slums. He harnesses Rhys' talent for information as a tool for making money.
"Do you know who Frank Rhys' father is?" Lazarus asked.
"Mr Urs, do you know who Rhys' father is? I can't find any information about Frank's father from Rhys." Tiara asked.
"Frank is a pseudonym. His real name is Farnley Ash, the eldest son of Count Ivan Ash and heir to the Ash Nobles family who disappeared 18 years ago. I have investigated it myself and my suspicions are indisputable. Farnley Ash is the leader of the Shadow Lion army and an information seeking expert, he has been prepared from the time he was a child to become the shadow of Icarus so that people including me have never seen him. Blood is thicker than water, Rhys inherits talent from his father." Lazarus says.
"Grand Duke, you have no proof that Frank is Mr. Farnley Ash!" Isabel shouted loudly while shedding many tears.
Sebastian entered the meeting room of Lion Heart Imperial Castle, his dirty clothes filled with dirt and mud.
"Sebastian, did you find him?" Lazarus asked.
"Urs, I found him at the bottom of the ravine along with 17 other bodies. But because Miss Adrianna said that before leaving Frank used blue armor. I found the body." Sebastian took out a coffin, then opened it to see the skeleton of a man in deep blue armor with a broken spear artifact in his right hand seen circular blue cloth bracelet with red flowers.
"Safrank!" Adrianna ran towards Frank when she saw the armor, artifacts and good luck charms she had knitted around in Frank's hand.
"No! My son Farnley must still be alive somewhere!" A middle-aged woman with blond hair and blue eyes shouted, she was Countess Dahlia Ash the wife of Ivan Ash.
"Alyssa, calm down Dahlia." Lazarus says.
"Altair, order all the Nobles to hold Count Ivan Ash and Harry Laurel with his entire family. Sebastian hold Ivan down don't let him attack a suspect before he's tried." Lazarus says.
"All right."
Ivan Ash widened his eyes, he tried to calm down when he saw her. He thought Farnley was going somewhere because his job was to find information. Farnley was a good-natured boy and Ivan loved him very much.
"Lazarus, that body is not my son's body." Ivan says.
Sebastian hugged Ivan Ash from behind, while Altair held his hand. They knew of a corpse that had become an unrecognizable skeleton, but they still knew something to know who it was.
Lazarus searched for the Farnley storage bag artifact, a moment later he burned it and all the contents inside came out gold coins, jewelry, baby clothes, beautiful dresses and gems. Lazarus took a gold medal with an Ash tree engraving.
"Farnley Ash, she seems to want to go back to her family to tell about Adrianna's pregnancy. At that time your two families were in conflict, but Adrianna had been expelled and was not part of the Laurel Royal Family." Lazarus threw the medal at Count Ivan Ash
Count Ivan Ash let out an extremely powerful aura, a moment later his level continued to rise and break through the Mythical realm.
"I'm going to dismember all of them." Count Ivan Ash said coldly, tears of blood streaming out from his eyes.
"Fuck! Curtis use the Barrier immediately! Everyone below the Epic realm immediately exited the Lion Heart Imperial Palace!" Lazarus shouting.
Sebastian felt his hand hugging Count Ivan Ash on fire, he immediately let go of his hand grip. A moment later Count Ivan Ash's body burned with an orange flame, forming a Phoenix with 4 wings.
"Haha. Urs, you can't help me, however I must kill the woman***** that!" Viscount Harry Laurel's aura surged even more, she was now breaking through the Mythical realm.
The element where the wood gathered on his body and his eyes turned a glowing green.
"Old grandfather, old fox, dodge!" Lazarus shouting.
Elenio and Adrian, who were holding Harry, immediately dodged, and a branch and a tree trunk came out of the walls of the Lion Heart Empire and attacked Adrian and Aslan.
Lime attempts to bind Viscount Harry Laurel's body, but Count Ash attacks Lime. The fire only burned Lime and did not burn Harry.
Harry jumped to Ivan's side, they both looked like different people. A person who had a wood element affinity and a great life as well as someone who had a fire element Affinity and a great life like the Fire Phoenix
"Urs, what's going on?" Elenio asked, he was confused as to why Harry and Ivan were getting stronger. They passed through several levels at once and stopped at the Mythical realm of level 91.
"They raised their bloodline. I should have known from Laurel and Ash's names that they were related to ancient bloodlines. Although their chance of awakening the bloodline was less than 10%, but due to extreme emotions they could arouse yes." Lazarus smiled as he took out Regalia. "Be careful, they won't stop until they kill Isabel and the others."
Harry and Ivan attack the Lazarus group, a fight ensues. Destroying the Lion Heart Imperial Palace.
"The Holy Light Shield!" Curtis thrust his Great Sword into the ground to create a powerful defensive dome. As well as Magnolia and the Priests.
"Giant Light Barrier!"
"The Light Sanctuary Barrier!"
"Wind's Barrier!"
Iris, Akira and Lilian help Curtis to strengthen the Barrier, knowing this fight will last a very long time.
Iris looked towards Isabel, then her tears flowed down her soft cheeks. "Isabel, you are a very evil woman. Do you ever feel like you're waiting for a man you love and wishing that man back every day, but still holding on to seeing the smile of his baby?"
"Iris." Magnolia said in a trembling voice.
"Saint Iris, I'm not the one who did it! Lotte killed Lord Farnley Ash!" Isabel shouts.
"Haha. Isabel, don't you remember about our relationship? Have you forgotten the days we spent? Are all the promises you make with your mouth lies?" Lotte laughs.
"Lotte, we don't have any relationship!" Isabel shouts.
"Isabel, you've fallen very deep and can't go back. I am the son of a concubine of a poor Baron and you are a servant's son. I worked hard saving money to marry you to become an adventurer. However, you married Harry who was richer than me and sold your body to these bastards! I'm the dumbest guy to love a woman like you." Lotte says.
"Lotte, you are a despicable criminal!" Isabel shouts.
"Saint, if I repent now, will the Gods forgive me?" Lotte asked while taking out all the money and letters of assets she had.
Iris touched Lotte's hand, slowly Lotte's eyes widened and she smiled looking at Iris. "Saint, thank you for holding the hand of a disgusting criminal like me."
Lotte slowly closed her eyes.
"May you be quiet in the Garden of Eden." Iris says.
****************
"Lime!"
Lime tied Harry and Ivan who had run out of mana, they could only wait for the two of them to run out of mana as they did not want to kill them two.
"Why would a level 91 Mythical realm possess this kind of power?" Elenio asked.
"They raised their bloodline. I didn't know someone who only inherited less than 5% of the bloodline from their ancestors could be that strong. I thought their bloodline rose from receiving extreme emotions." Helene says.
"FireBird Bloodline is a person's bloodline endowed by fire bird-type Saint Beasts such as Fire Phoenix, Three-legged Golden Crow and Vermilion Bird. Ancestor Ivan must have been endowed by the Saint Beast Phoenix and Harry inherited the Fairy Forest Bloodline, he awakened the High Elf bloodline. Looks like Harry's ancestor is a very powerful High Elf." Lazarus says.
Helene nodded. "I only saw 4 fairly pure bloodlines in the 4 Continents and Urs why do you know the names of those two bloodlines?"
"I have an acquaintance who has awakened an ancient bloodline and in fact everyone has an ancient bloodline. But because of the marriage their ancient line mix is getting fluid. I only know of the 5 ancient lines that ruled the Antares Planet for the Southern Noble Bloodline/Heavenly Water Bloodline human race they are the people of the Blue Dragon Kingdom, the West Noble Bloodline/Their Heavenly Thunder Bloodline was the people of the Zephyra Kingdom, their Northern Noble Bloodline/Heavenly Ice Bloodline were the people of the Boreas Empire and Eastern Noble Bloodline/Their Heavenly Holy Fire Bloodline was the people of Golden Sun Kingdom. Actually, humans have different bloodlines, but most of them do not keep it by marrying another bloodline and marrying someone who has only a few bloodlines. You know many powerful Kingdoms and Empires that were destroyed since ancient times, the remaining people spread all over the world and married commoners." Lazarus says.
"intriguing. The Demon Race, Elves, Dark Elves, Beasts, Dwarves, Beastmen and Dark Beastmen inherited the bloodline. Yet humans are a very unique race and being able to obtain bloodlines can also marry into all humanoid races." Sebastian smile.
The Lion Heart Imperial Palace was smashed apart due to Ivan and Harry's fight, everyone saw the majestic Palace collapse due to their fight. Viscount Harry Laurel and Count Ivan Ash are bound by Lime.
"Take me off!" Ivan Ash shouted.
"Stupid, be quiet they will all pay for all their sins. If you kill them here you are violating the authority of the Holy Empire and becoming their enemy." Lazarus says.
"Pacify yourself, you know killing them won't solve the problem. Judges and prosecutors were within the Holy Imperial Authority and only the Holy Empire could sentence them." Altair says.
"Magnolia, how did it go." Lazarus says.
"They are all guilty and deserve the death penalty. Their crimes will also be spread in every corner of the 4 Continents so that similar events do not happen again." Saint Magnolia said.
"No! Saint Magnolia, I'm innocent and I've been framed by Lotte and the others. Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus, I am still a very beautiful woman. Save me and tell them that I'm innocent!" Isabel shouts.
"Take Harry and Ivan off, let them do whatever they want to the rotten woman and the traitorous subordinate. But Ivan and Harry you can't touch anyone but Slade and Isabel." Lazarus says.
Lime unties Harry and Ivan.
"No!" Isabel shouts.
"Isabel, all this is karma for you." Lazarus says.
