Christopher gasped. The people around him never knew that what they're doing was dangerous. Saying and writing the true name of the Goddesses was suicide. If any of the Goddess didn't accept their calling they would die on the spot.

Perhaps this was the reason why no one was making Rune Weapons. They didn't know what symbols would work and if it is, there's a possibility that they'll die.

This Rune Gate was around 50 years old. The archeologist that made this Gate was already dead. No one can replicate this technology except him. Many scholars tried to copy his Writings believing that they could make another Gate… but all of them died. There's only one possibility, the Goddesses didn't hear their callings.

' Gulp… I'm thankful that nothing happens. I guess there's another reason why this Gate is working even though the Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Death were fighting. '

"Man, what happened? You okay?"

Marlon saw that his friend was sweating. The Princess heard him and she immediately glanced at Christopher.

"Sir Christopher… D- did something happen?"

She stepped up and tried to touch the man. Christopher realized that many people were looking at him. He waved his hand saying that everything's okay.

"I'm fine, I'm just getting dizzy. I'm auraless so I guess the pressure of this Gate strained my body. I think I need to rest."

The Princess stopped her hands, she nodded.

"Un, we have a resting place here in the Palace. You can take your time. "

"Thank you, Princess."

Christopher bowed and quickly left. He didn't want to stay in this nuclear-like platform. Aria watched him with a melancholic gaze. She wanted to spend more time with him, she didn't know why but she wished to.

…………………

Christopher wrote everything that he experienced in their travel. He recorded the Symbols saying that it has an odd power but he didn't describe or explain anything about it. He's afraid that someone would saw his diary.

Besides, he had a book inside his mind and it had more information than anything he witnessed.

Despite it, the Auburn War Volume 1 was currently focusing on Yuusha. He's the protagonist so of course, the novel would revolve around him.

Pablo and Yuusha were currently in the Zarasa territory. They fetched the Duke and they're traveling. Their destination, the Capital.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Christopher pondered and touched his chin.

"I seem like the…"

He paused his talking, he didn't want anyone to hear him. That's why he decided to talk using his mind.

'The Emperor's assassination is near...'

Christopher knew who was the culprit. He was the one who wrote this, after all.

The Empire would start to dwindle after this. All the more that three countries were currently eyeing the Empire. When they received the news that the Emperor was dead. The three Kingdoms immediately announced a war. After that, you could easily tell what happened.

The war caused many deaths. Entei City was the first to fall. They're in the middle of the two kingdoms. His parents died. Though he didn't know the exact scenario because he only wrote in three sentences.

Currently, he could only read Volume 1. Volume 2 was where the War would happen. He had an idea about the possibility, but he's not confident, the future was always changing.

Right now, his mission was to stop the incoming assassination. As long as the Emperor was alive, the War would be prevented… He hoped.

He shook his head erasing the negative thoughts yet another one entered his mind.

The Princess was abducted. In this version, Princess Aria was abducted and raped by the King of Porzin Kingdom. She killed herself after that.

Christopher gritted his teeth. He couldn't believe that, no, he couldn't accept it. He would sacrifice his life just to save the Princess. Fortunately, he did.

He's thankful that nothing bad happened. He saved Aria and she's currently inside the Palace. He sighed in relief.

"That lecherous pig… I promise I'll kill him. "

Whenever he thought about the mastermind of this abduction, he couldn't escape the thought of killing him.

Aria was the embodiment of her dead sister. He treated the Princess as his little sister that he needs to protect, he never did it in his past life so would do it now. Nothing would hurt his sister!

However, he didn't know that the Princess had romantic feelings for him. He just believed the Princess was thankful and she liked to pay her benefactor. He never thought that Aria adored him.

…………………

Marlon visited his friend. The Marquis was with him.

"How's your body? Hahaha, you're from the family of warriors so I believe that a simple headache will not work on you."

Marquis smashed him.…… The smash gave him an incisive feeling. He quickly jumped up.

"Y- yes!"

"Good, I'm here because the three Prince and the Emperor want to meet you. You already know the reason, right?"

Christopher nodded. It's easy to guess that the Emperor wanted to express his gratitude.

'I guess I need to present myself as a timid young man so that the enemies will not put their attention to me. '

They exit the room after Christopher cleaned himself. They walked and the maids accompanied them.

They enter a large hall. He saw that there were dozens of people. He didn't know them. He's always in their territory, so he's not acquainted with these people.

It's fortunate that only small people were here. If a large number of people gazed at him, he knew that they would give him a mockery. Especially, those people that hate his brother and father.

They knelt down before the Emperor. Marlon and Christopher were the people who saved the Princess.

Two days before, Captain Alphonse asked Priest Cratust to travel with them but the Priest shook his head and declined.

He knew what would happen if the Marchioness learn that he traveled with her husband. Cratust said that he only needs donations for the Temple of War, except that, he never asked for anything...

The glorious old man spoke.

"Stand up, brave heroes. "

A solid prideful voice reverberated. Christopher saw the man who conquered the quarter of the Continent.

The Great Emperor Aquila.

The old man was sitting on a golden chair. He's wearing a crown full of jade and jewels. However, the heavy crown couldn't surpass the Emperor's majestic presence.

Aquila was a Master Mahikero. He's the strongest water Mahikero on the Continent.
