Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Question For Question

[Kingdom of Aurora, present-day, in the palace basement.]

Those in the secret room—Klutzie, Suzy, Siren, and Alicia—sama-sama are reading The Diary of the Satisfied King. Right now, they were reading Chapter Twelve.

"Our goal is just to find out the origin of the Nebula, but instead get a lot of other information" said Klutzie whose mind is exploding over all the history he just read. "Although this has nothing to do with her ultimate goal, Queen Alicia, may I tell you something?"

"What's all of a sudden like this?" ask Alicia. All eyes, including Sirens focus on Klutzie.

"It's a big deal for me and I feel like if we read any longer then we'll find the answer soon.

"But....

"We've never told you this before, but if you've come this far, I think you deserve to know."

"Hey, Lutz," called Siren, "you want to say it without her permission?!"

Klutzie turned to Siren. He then nodded steadily. "This man named L'arc.," he continued, "is the man who took your daughter's life."

Alicia immediately frowned. "Huh...? Whatchu mean?"

Klutzie then recounts the events that involved him, Siren, Marianna, Zeeta, and L'arc, as they tried to save the people of Nebula many years ago.

"We never tried to speak up, because Zeeta told us this.

"'Well, it's over, isn't it? Your people are saved, your father, your brother....

"Although many of my people died while I was 'death', but if no one knew about this, they would not relax their trust in me.

"Understand, Prince, that they are milestones I can stand this upright. When my focus began to blunt, I doubted very much about myself.

"This may be just my selfishness .. and I realize this is how it is, but please. I don't want to make them worry and reduce their trust. Especially ... my mom and dad.'"

Hearing him, Alicia clenched both of her hands. His head bowed, his teeth gnashed. "Then, who exactly is that bastard?! Why didn't he die even though five hundred years had gone from his chosen time?!"

Siren put on his serious face. "Most likely, it's also a curse."

"Curse...?"

"Straighten first so that there is no misunderstanding.

"Yggdrasil seed is not something that comes to the surface of the world at all times. And if there is, Yggdrasil will choose three containers.

"Why three?

"The world is based on three worlds. Galdurheim, Jotunnheim, and Drakaeim.

"These three Yggdrasil Seeds are destined to regrow the World Tree with the aim of 'give peace again to the inhabitants of the three worlds'.

"The problem is, when Zeeta told me that when Ifrit controlled his body, L'arc had three or four of Yggdrasil's spirits as his allies.

"From here alone, the fact that he said he was the Former Seed of Yggdrasil, has contradicted."

"So ..you mean... I'arc this is just bragging that he is...." Klutzie.

"Not really.

"We the Yggdrasil Spirits who make you a Container, can communicate with each other with our power called 'Link'. However, there are conditions to use it.The third— of us must agree with each other.

"Luna once told me, ever since she found out that L'arc had the Spirit of Yggdrasil as her ally, she could not communicate with them at all. However, there are signs that L'arc could be otherwise.

"Thus, the answers that can be found from who L'arc really is, are not really that difficult, but still raise the question."

"L'arc was one of the descendants of the Moon or Sun in his time." Suzy drew the focus of the viewers eyes and ears there. "He who knows many facts about the past of his descendants, is in contact with the Spirit of Yggdrasil.

"Whatever happened between him and the Spirit of Yggdrasil at that time, was the key that caused him to be like this now .. and forty-two years ago."

Siren nodded— hinting that the older brother of his container was right.

"She said it already" said Alicia, who turned the diary page to several pages earlier.

"Oh, yeah! That is because they are human beings who thirst for power, strength, and justice to get rid of those who cannot be in line with them, even if it is genocide.

"It is this sentence that best reflects the reason he became who he is today."

"But" Klutzie replied, "we still don't know why he claims to be the Yggdrasil Seed."

There was a time of silence between them. One by one, they have their reasons. There is an inexhaustible thought about his father who did so—Klutzie, some are still curious about the reason their mother was cursed—Suzy, who do not understand why the creature that should be a unity even like different entities—Siren, and who think deeply about the father, mother, and his son—Alicia.

"From that," Siren broke the atmosphere, "in a moment Barghest revealed more about Nebula. Let's continue reading."

"Wait!" pinta Klutzie, "may I ask when your father ... ma-dead, Queen Alicia...?"

"When I was seven. Why?"

"No, it's nothing.... I'm just confused, why your dad's diary can be this detailed telling from so many points of view. If so, then it makes sense."

"That's right. But, it still doesn't make sense to me why my mother told me that King Eizen killed my father."

Klutzie soon scuttled because of his own question.

"I-I'm sorry for being so presumptuous...." The Prince's mentality withered.

......................

The Beast King's Diary, Chapter XIII.

That man's smile filled me for a moment. Yeah, he looks happy, but somehow, I feel really scared. This feeling I have never felt before, yet I can still master this fear.

The statement he made, "With your strength, destroy the Gala," made me question my own hearing.

He serious?

Just a moment ago, he asked if I had no interest in saving Gala? Now, it's even....

......................

"Uup." L'arc's voice surprised the dreamy Barghest. "I know exactly what you're thinking.

"'Haah? Wh why? Why did he say such a contradicting thing? Is he sane?'

"Well, listen to me first. I don't make requests if it's just for mass murder. I can do it myself— as I just did.

"I'm not asking you to kill people. People always think shallowly. When someone says destroy, the terbesit must be a lot of casualties that will float.

"I want you to be a legend, boy. A terrifying legend for the next generation."

"I don't understand what you mean. What exactly was your purpose here?!"

"Silence, calm. No need to rush that, I will not betray my own words.

"As I said, if you're going to help me, then everything that's your question, I'm going to answer everything. But I also know these negotiations won't work if you don't understand what I mean.

"Come with me. I'll let you decide for yourself. If you do choose to destroy Gala, then destroy every trace of her until there's nothing left."

......................

When Alicia who played the role of "narrator" turned the page, they were all shocked together.

"What the fuck?!" exclaimed Alicia, "why is the next page torn? Even the page ended up not there!

"Suzy, what are you—"

"N-no, Your Majesty! I swear!" Suzy shook her head and waved both of her hands quickly.

"Sad. Why this...?"

"Is it possible that our father did it...?" Klutzie said it slowly. "He's the last heir to the Gala...."

Alicia closed the thick book she was holding. "There are still two other people who might know about it!" with his hasty steps, he left the room.

The situation there was immediately quiet with guilty feelings. Especially for the two brothers.

"Lutz," call Suzy.

Klutzie who looked down, raised his gaze.

"Before you go make sure of it yourself to me, let me tell you what disturbs me from all the writings of the king of the Barghest."

"What's that?"

"This daily book tells a story with various points of view. Himself, queen Scarlet, and mother. But he never wrote from my father's point of view.

"Remember what he said first? He can talk to the forest. Just remember this point, okay?"

"O-okay...."

"I still hold the theory that these points of view were written because those involved had told the king of the Barghest themselves, but I think he wrote because of his power to talk to the forest, I think it's more believable.

"Why? Because when he told me that he knew that mother had eavesdropped on their conversation for a long time, it was impressed that the king of Barghest deliberately made mother appear in front of them all.

"Then, while the Scarlet queen and Madame Ashley were still confused by many things, only the Barghest king himself seemed to be a step ahead.

"The fact that there are so many plants around, we cannot ignore.

"Understand what I mean, brother?

"The pages .. I think were torn not by my father, but by his own strength."

"Ha... huh...? What...? I don't get it!

"What does the power of speech have to do with the forest ... with the page being ripped off?"

"My brother, the king of Barghest has said it at the beginning of chapter five.

"He knew the threat and could survive for twenty years in the forest alone as a 'Human', was because of his strength.

"If you think about it, queen Alicia said king Barghest was killed when she was seven.

"That means, before he was seven years old, this diary must have been complete and intact.

"One other important point, if you think, 'father is the culprit, because he does not want the Gala's secret known', then the question is, why the moment on the part of him that appears in front of the Barghest king, is, not even torn?

"If you still don't understand my sister....

"'The unification of the Southern Flare and Gala' was one of the guises to hide what the king of Barghest had known.

"Then why did the king of Barghest suddenly become a target for father?

"I'm very, very sure that this has something to do with Zeeta.

"Indeed, I admit the one who knows the real facts may just be the king of Barghest himself and his wife, but I doubt the queen of Scarlet knows about this."

Klutzie was struck by her brother's lengthy explanation. "Gi. crazy...."

"Hgm." Suzy is on her waist. "of course!

"But my genius doesn't mean that my theory is wrong. You better make sure of this with Dad yourself. I have something else I need to find out."

"Hmm? What's really?"

Suzy smiled. "Of course about L'arc. This Aurora is like the center of those three kingdoms, isn't it? Who knew the history of five hundred years ago was here."

Klutzie returned her brother's smile. "alright. I'm going first. Don't make the paperwork messy again, yeah, sister!"

"Hahaha, fine."

Then, Klutzie went with Siren—home to Nebula. When he arrived in front of his father....

"Finally you came too, my son," said King Eizen as if he had expected his presence in the throne room.

"A-are you looking for me, Father?"

"Did you think I didn't know of your baldness after surviving to become the Yggdrasil Seed? Of course I know what you're really trying to ask.

"If your question is, 'did I kill the king of Barghest?'

"Yes. With my own hands the man died. His blood is flowing profusely, soaking my whole body."
