Dragopath: Uuuoohhh!! I had such a bad day… a beautiful girl wanted to sit besides me and suddenly a grandma raced to seat besides me forcing the girl to go away. Then the grandma had the guts to feel me up on the side and when I noticed her she escaped! Unforgivable!! (Nebulus, punish that grandma!)
Nelus: (…? Who are you? What are you doing in my head?)
Dragopath: (Do it!)
Nelus: (But she didn’t seem to do anything that is worth a punishable, looking at her soul… also… what did she do?)
Dragopath: (Hahh… never mind! On to the chapter… goodbye… also, just forget I said anything)
The voice the disappeared leaving Nelus baffled at such an occurrence.
Nelus: (Calice… do you have any idea who he is?)
Calice: (No… but I feel he was very powerful…)
Nelus: (I felt that too… anyways I somehow feel that he wasn’t someone bad.)
Calice: (Yeah… let just forget this ever happened.)
Nelus: (Agreed)
Sorry if the chapter is a little shorter than usual. Tomorrow is Wednesday and I will be extremely busy... :-( to make up for it, I'll try to make the next chapter longer. :-D

Chapter 49 – Visit
The next day came and it was a day where there is no school, it happens 2 times a week on the sixth and seventh day. As I was preparing to go I saw Frei and Fala, recently Ciall had asked them to train the other teachers and soldiers. I heard they were extremely tough on them saying that it will help them survive better. I then head to the palace when I encountered Runice.
Nelus: Runice… I heard you were traveling the world?
Runice: Yes! How are my parents, Lina, and big sister?
Nelus: They’re fine anyways, what are you doing here?
Runice: I am here to prepare weapons for them while our seamstresses do the armor.
Nelus: I see… well I must be going…
Runice: I heard about what happened with the Luminants… serves Halvard right!
Nelus: I don’t think its over.
Runice: Anyways, I heard you brought someone else, I met him along the way… Rezald was his name right?
Nelus: Yes.
Runice then had a mischievous expression as a faint blush appeared while smiling heartily.
Runice: He might be handsome but compared to you he is so-so, still… he kind of interest me… he has an external essence within him… and it was weirdly stable unlike those who survive that 10% chance…
Nelus: Well he must be fated to be that way.
I then headed towards the palace entering it. As I entered the prison it seems Roy was inside chatting with his father. Still… it was kind of peculiar seeing Halvard smile like that… I guess he is still a father.
Roy: And then, the pale fell on big brother Chyde’s head.
Halvard: Ahahaha!! What happened next?
Roy: He then tried to remove it but unable to do so that is when big sister Cheil appeared. As Chyde was heading her way, she punched the pale as brother flew in the air!
Halvard: Quite the situation there!! Hahaha!
Roy: Ehehe.
Roy had a blissful expression shy to let his father see his face he fidgeted. As I entered Halvard’s expression turned serious with faint blush on his face trying to suppress his laughter as he glared at me for not reading the mood, he was feeling embarrassed at the chance that I saw him like that. Roy then with a smile waved at me, Chyde said at the dinner that Roy resembles their mother the most as he had quite the effeminate face.
Roy: Hello Sir Nelus.
Halvard: Hmph! Nelus…
Nelus: I’m here to ask question.
Halvard: I won’t answer anything.
Nelus: It is about Dae.
Halvard: Dae? Who is that?
Roy was startled at what his father said ad asked…
Roy: F-father!? Dae is my brother! Your son…
Suddenly: Halvard has a pained expression… it seems he wasn’t lying… I cast restore to calm him down as blood started to flow from his eyes… Roy thanked me and was obviously worried for his father.
Nelus: I see… so someone sealed his memorier…
Roy: Father… is he going to be okay?
Roy asked teary eyed… I then patted his head and smiled saying that he will as only some of his memories were sealed.
Roy: The I won’t ask about Dae anymore… what about brother Chyde and sister Cheil?
Halvard: Of course I remember them!! They are my children after all!
Nelus: Speaking of Cheil, you can come out now.
Cheil: …
Cheil then entered the room as she approaches me and puts one hand on my cheek; she then smiled only for a second. Besides us were Roy blushing covering his mouth using both of his hands as for Halvard, he was enraged with an expression as if saying don’t get too close with my daughter.
Cheil: I heard everything…
Nelus: I see… can you tell me?
Cheil nods and puts away her had off of me and said…
Cheil: …I heard father once… talking with someone…
Nelus: With whom…?
Cheil: He called him God…
Nelus: Is did you notice any mirror or any maiden of divinity present?
Cheil: No… I peeked through… only father… and a man wearing a cloak… it happened last year…
Nelus: I see… (Whenever someone contacts a God with a mirror, on that area, there would be a specific magic signature that would be left so either way I would’ve known if he used one inside the palace as that signature will not fade easily… so if only a year has passed then there, should some left… but when I entered the castle there are no sign of it anywhere. Also a Gods in my clan are connected to me so if they were to enter Alxia then I would notice.)

Cheil: Was I useful…?
Nelus: Yes…
Cheil bushed despite her still expressionless face as she closed the distance immediately, grabbing my face as she was having a hard time pulling my face down, she flew slightly, and using her wings ad kissed me on the lips. She then closed her eyes as her wings started to have dark flames covering it, while my eyes turned yellow as lightning surrounded me. Halvard was staring blankly at us clearly dumbfounded. Halvard then grinded his teeth telling me to get away from her while Roy was covering his eyes as his face turns beet red. Cheil then releases me as a sharp pain entered my head… that kiss… the sensation felt… familiar… then my mind went blank… a hazy figure appeared in front of me…
???: Nebu… my lo…
Nelus: Who… are… you…?
???: Y… u… can …ar me?
Nelus: …
???: I… I… I am!!
Suddenly I return back to my senses and opened my eyes… I look around and I was still inside the prison with Cheil and Roy. Cheil was giving me a lap pillow and asked…
Cheil: Are you… alright?
Nelus: Yes…
Cheil: Sorry…
Nelus: Don’t mind it…
Cheil: …Can I do it again…?
Nelus: No.
Halvard: Absolutely not!!
Roy: Is… sister Cheil, Sir Nelus’ lover now?
Nelus: No.
Cheil: Yes…
Halvard: I will not agree to… wait… what, did you say!? Are you saying that my daughter isn’t worthy to be your lover!!??
Nelus: …
Halvard: You… you… you!!! Cheil, show him that it is unwise to belittle a luminant royal! Make sure you gain his heart and crush it by rejecting it afterwards! Make him regret to ever think that you’re not worthy of him.
Cheil: Yes father… (I will do it… except for the last part…)
Halvard: Excellent!! As for you Nelus! I wish you the worse!
Nelus: …
Halvard said as he goes away swishing his cape dramatically only to lie on the small bed afterwards… as for Roy… he was unable to comprehend the situation as his mind blanked.
Fated Link: Cheil
Gained title: Prince of Light
As for Cheil, something appeared in front of her too…
Fated Link: Nebulus
Gained title: Princess of Darkness
Cheil: Nebulus…?
Cheil then looks at me questioningly, seeing that I wouldn’t answer she didn’t pry any further.
Nelus: Why did you kiss me?
Cheil: At the dance… I felt… you were special… you and I are fated… you will marry me.
Nelus: I cannot marry you…
Seeing that there is a hint of seriousness on my face, she noticed that there is a deeper meaning to my words and so she made up her mind.
Cheil: Even so, you belong to me… even if another woman will belong to you… you still belong to me…
Nelus: …
I sighed, turned around and walked away… I remembered that vision I had… that woman… her voice was familiar… when I heard it… it was if it was something pierced through me… why is it that whenever I tried to remember… my heart aches…
I then returned to the mansion to rest a little awaiting the next day to come… I spent all day thinking… I slept… for the first time… I had a dream… a woman… she was smiling at me… arrgghh… better not delve deeper for now. Afterwards, I spent the whole day resting, in which made Rezald and the others worried as I said to them not to be so as I am alright. They then said that I should rest more as I wasn’t looking too well…
I slept again… this time I heard a male voice… I can’t understand what he is saying… he was talking too fast… the only part I understood was the last part… in which he said “Nox” As I woke up… I was feeling a little better. Ever since then, I wasn’t forced to fall asleep anymore. One day I walk inside the classroom, I saw an unfamiliar face… it seems she told the principal that she was in need to attend something. That is the reason she was absent up until now. As she saw me, she then shouts at me…
???: Fake!!
Nelus: What do you mean?
She then pulls me out of the room in which I just followed as she then gathered divinity as her eyes glowed a silver like aura… it was… the Divine Arts…
