After a short moment, the bright lights faded away.

What was left, was the shocked expressions of Sarah and Elizabeth, the smiling Violette and the pale looking Alexander.

With a bitter smile, Alexander coughed weakly while staggering backwards to his throne.

“Lord!”

Sarah was the first one to see this abnormality, she rushed towards Alexander, holding his hand, trying to support him.

Following Sarah, Elizabeth and Violette followed, they held Alexander. Letting him slowly sit down on his throne.

“Lord, what happened?”

Sarah asked in a tone filled with worry and anxiety. She could smell the bloody scent coming from Alexander’s mouth.

Still putting up a bitter smile, Alexander answered as he glanced at Sarah with a soft gaze.

“Thank you for worrying about me, but I am fine.”

“On the other hand, what is your name? And, you should also be the 17th generation of the Human Priestess, right?”

Sarah nodded hastily.

“Yes, Lord.”

“My name is Sarah Terian, I am the 17th generation, being the successor of Beth Larden.”

Sarah explained the most important details, she would tell the rest when Alexander wanted it.

“I see.”

Alexander nodded as he gazed at Sarah. It would be a lie if Alexander said that Sarah was not charming, but Alexander smiled softly and patted her head.

“You seem like a good child, thank you for being my Priestess.”

Sarah could only nod while blushing as Alexander was patting her head.

“What about you?”

Phantom asked as he sent Elizabeth a glance.

“Highness, I am the 19th generation of the Elven Priestesses, Elizabeth Gueina.”

Elizabeth said respectfully as she stared at Phantom.

Alexander smiled weakly before raising his hand to pat Elizabeth.

“I must thank you too, for helping me.”

“Master, tell me what happened.”

Violette interrupted the whole thing as she stared at Alexander with worry.

“This body of mine is weak. It was not meant for me to contract Guardians, I do luckily have that bloodline…”

Alexander spoke while he went into a daze, trying to remember a certain face.

“A certain bloodline?”

Violette reacted when Alexander said that.

I have never heard of bloodlines before, what is this about?

Alexander glanced at Violette, Elizabeth and Sarah for a moment before sighing.

“I might as well tell you what is going on.”

“This is the last time that I will be awakening…”

As Alexander was saying this, he slightly narrowed his eyes and knitted his fists with might.

“What?!”

Sarah was the first one to react, she widely opened her eyes as her body went limp.

Not shockingly enough, Elizabeth and Violette were as shocked, barely able to stand on their own legs.

“My body has stopped recovering.”

Alexander said softly, not even worrying about his current situation that much.

“The injuries that I will be receiving, will not be healing. Any energy I lose, to fight, will not be recovered.”

“And, I think I know why I have awakened this time. There are no threats coming from this world itself, but threats from outside of this world…”

Violette suddenly thought of the last battle two thousand years ago.

“You don’t mean, at that time???”

“Yes, I do mean them.”

Alexander nodded without much thoughts.

“If I burn my own soul, I can fight against them. The side effect is that I will die.”

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

“Master, I will protect you…!”

Violette trembled slightly as she stared at Alexander.

“This is why, this is why I have trained this much, only to protect you!”

Sarah and Elizabeth had a resolute expression on their faces as they nodded.

“If a fight is something they want, I will fight them!”

Sarah said coldly as she held her spectre.

“Humph!”

Elizabeth snorted as she narrowed her eyes.

“I have read about that battle, if they dare coming, I will be the first one to attack!”

She grabbed her bow tightly.

Alexander watched the three Priestesses with a soft smile.

“Thank you.”

Before the three Priestesses could be happy, Alexander continued speaking.

“But, this is not your fight.”

Alexander narrowed his eyes slightly as he glanced at the roof, towards the sky.

“They are after me. After they have dealt with me, they will not return or bother anyone here.”

“What I want you three to do, is to protect this continent after I am gone.”

Alexander stood up from this throne, letting out a weak aura, but it suppressed the air around him.

“If only he was here…”

Alexander muttered before shaking his head.

“Who are you talking about?”

Violette raised her eyebrows as she barely heard Alexander speak.

Alexander let out a genuine smile for the first time as he spoke with the gentlest tone ever.

“My father.”

“If only my father was here, he would have dealt with everything within a moments time.”

“Is your father that strong!?”

Sarah asked with a high tone.

Alexander nodded first before shaking his head.

“Even I do not know how strong my father is.”

“But, when I was young, I heard one of my mothers telling me that if father wanted to, he could destroy a whole solar system with a twist of his palm.”

While saying this, Alexander was thinking of the face of his father and his mothers. He always felt loved by his father, and Alexander himself, he liked his father the most.

“How can anyone be that strong?!”

Elizabeth shuddered at the thoughts of someone being that strong.

“Master, is your father dead?”

Violette asked while worrying for a moment.

If someone was able to kill someone that strong, how strong would that person be?

“Hahahahahahahaha!”

Alexander laughed for the first time in a very long time.

“As far as I know, no one would be able to kill my father.”

“At one time, the sun near our world was dying. Father stared at the sun for a moment before shaking his head, then vanishing from our sights. Not long after, he came back, saying that he went to the centre of the sun, rewinding the time of the sun…!”

Cold sweat could be seen from the backs of the three Priestesses.

“Then… why don’t you ask your father to help us?”

Sarah asked while staring at Alexander.

If Lord’s father is that strong, he could deal with any of our problems without much trouble. And, perhaps even heal Lord?

When Elizabeth and Violette heard Sarah say that, they couldn’t help but agree with Sarah.

Alexander let out a bitter smile.

“A hundred thousand years ago, I escaped from our home.”

“I bet that my father has been worrying deeply about me, but I left for a reason, to have my own adventures of life.”

“But, I can’t help but be sure that my siblings are still looking for me.”

When Alexander thoughts about his siblings, he couldn’t help but tremble.

“If they found me, they would beat me close to death before taking me back to my father…!”

“Why?!”

Violette asked as she watched Alexander tremble.

“That is because, all of his children, love him the most.”

Alexander said with a smile.

“Father is a great man, he is someone that all of us look up to, wanting to be someone like him, even wanting to receive his love more than others.”

“My father must have been heart-broken after I left, my siblings would hunt after me throughout the whole universe. Only to place me in front of our father, to see his smile.”

“I am sorry, but I can’t ask my father to help us.”

Alexander shook his head, but he was still smiling.

“I want to be a hero like my father…”

“Therefore, I will not back down from the danger in front of us. Even if it leads to my death, I will not regret any of my choices, because my father said once; ‘Always follow your dream, no matter how far it seems, do not stop reaching out for it.’.”

“This is what I am going to do now, I will not stop reaching out towards my dream, of being a hero.”

Violette stood near Alexander, she held her katana with force before speaking up.

“Master.”

“I have decided to help you no matter what. My dream is to be of help for you, I will listen to your father’s advice, I will follow my dream.”

Alexander stared at Violette for a few seconds before sighing, barely accepting it.

“I can’t deny anyone their wish to follow their dreams…”

“Hehe, seems like this will be a fun ride, right Highness?”

Elizabeth laughed for a moment before she stood at Alexander’s side. Elizabeth wasn’t afraid of dying, as her role as a Priestess was to help Alexander in any way they could, and this was something she wished for more than anything.

“Well, I don’t think that those ‘aliens’ are our top priority right now, there are lots of enemies at our front doors.”

Sarah said indifferently as she glanced at Violette and Elizabeth before sending a soft gaze towards Alexander.

“Lord, I will help you defeat your enemies. I might not be as strong as the others, but, I will help with everything I got.”
