Before Cedric prepared for his second usage of [Divine Intervention: Dream]. Humanity’s Sacred kingdom is filled with gloom. One of the king’s closest aides, Yasu, has entered a coma.

During the one versus three battle against Gratian, the injuries Yasu received from Gratian’s banquet had deteriorated.

Even though he has been blessed by Divine Might, Yasu has recently fallen into a coma and could no longer stand up from his bed. When that happens, the retainer attending to him quickly ran toward Lacius after placing Yasu in a safe room.

“Your highness, Lord Yasu has fallen unconscious!” Inside the throne room, Lacius quickly discarded everything he currently does and turned his head to Hars that stood nearby, “Hars, come and follow me!”

Both of them followed after the retainers and ran into the room where Yasu was resting. Luckily, after giving his title as a city lord to someone else, Yasu has been staying in the palace. So, the location where Yasu currently rested can be reached within a short time.

Nodding at the person guarding the door, they quickly entered it and saw the middle aged man with both of his eyes closed. Next to the unconscious Yasu sat an elderly woman with a thick smell of medicine. She placed one of her hands on Yasu as a gentle glow appeared on her palm.

“Granny Maude, how is Yasu’s condition?” Lacius asked granny Maude, who’s busy using her power to heal Yasu. Beside Lacius, Hars tried to shook Yasu awake but to no avail

“Don’t shake him!’” Granny Maude swatted Hars’s hand away before turning to Lacius and shook her head. “My deepest apologies, your highness. This old woman has tried everything at my disposal and still failed. I can only use my blessed power and hope for the best. Furthermore, lord Yasu’s situation is quite serious and I don’t think he will wake up in the near future.”

When Lacius heard the old woman’s response, he quickly shouted, “Go around the kingdom and gather every physician. Actually, gather anyone with any experience in tending to wounds. I’ll reward nobility for anyone who succeeded in healing Yasu!

At such a time, he couldn’t think of anything except for asking help from others. This situation makes Lacius feels helpless

Outside of the room, both the retainer that brought Lacius into the room and the one guarding outside the door quickly left and spread his will to the others.

Within a day, dozens of physicians from Winter City had gathered. One by one, they entered the room and began their diagnosis. On the side, granny Maude observed those physicians to make sure nothing untoward would happen to Yasu.

Once all the physician has checked asu, Lacius said. ‘I want everyone here to discuss and prescribe a medicine to cure him. No matter the ingredients you need, I’ll ask my subordinates to collect it.

The dozens of physicians nodded and began discussing a way to make a cure.

Soon, more and more physicians from the surrounding cities started to arrive and checked Yasu’s condition. Led by granny Maude, they prescribed dozens of medicines that might be of help.

When he saw it, Lacius nodded and told his subordinates to collect all the ingredients required. Within a week, all materials required had been gathered and every physician showed their skills to try and wake Yasu from his coma.

Yet, even after those physicians almost tried all of their concocted medicine, Yasu still hasn’t shown any sign of waking up.

Luckily, just when Lacius begins to lose hope, one of the medicines seems to be working as Yasu’s coughing voice can be heard from the room.

Lacius quickly entered the room and saw Yasu currently sitting on his bed while being helped by granny Maude who has activated her healing ability once more. Soon after, Hars followed after him and also entered the room.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yasu turned his head and looked at the two who had turned paler from exhaustion. He stared blankly for a moment before laughing weakly. “Hahahaha! Even though I am the one who has fallen unconscious. But, you both look even worse than me.”

Initially, looking at Yasu who has woken up and could even crack a joke already, Lacius should’ve been happy. Yet, a feeling of gloominess preserved in his heart. Especially when he saw the weak Yasu and the expression on granny Maude’s face. That bad feeling got worse and he involuntarily frowned.

Sure enough, when Yasu looked at the frowning Lacius, he stopped laughing and spoke in a low voice. “Your highness, you can stop it. There is no need to look for other means to save me. I know my body the best and it couldn’t last for much longer. This might even be the last time I opened my eyes.”

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Lacius just silently listened to Yasu and turned his gaze to granny Maude.

She raised her head and nodded at Lacius as sweat dripped from her wrinkly skin. Constantly activating her healing power has taken a great toll on her and exhausted her old body.

“Urgh, I start to feel dizzy” In the silent room, Yasu’s voice is incredibly deafening. Lacius turned to observe Yasu as he slowly fell asleep. On the side, granny Maude’s old face turned even paler as she activated her healing power even faster than ever.

Soon, Yasu fell unconscious and stopped moving. On his side, granny Maude placed her hand on Yasu before shaking stopped using her ability.

With an expressionless face, Lacius merely watched everything happening in silence. At the same time, sadness, anger, and an unknown fear flooded his heart. It all finally amalgamated into a simple sigh that came out of his mouth. “Sigh… Hars, go and collect artisans from Winter City.”

Hars nodded and left the room. Soon, granny Maude followed suit, leaving Lacius to silently watch Yasu’s corpse with red eyes.

After Lacius left Yasu’s room, he rested and returned to the throne room, waiting for Hars to gather artisans from the city. With the help of those artisans, he planned to build a grand resting place for Yasu.

Yasu’s tomb became humanity’s first mausoleum. Although not considerable in size, it is filled with stone and wooden engraving made by the best artisans. There are also many bronze statues and accessories decorating the interior of the mausoleum.

After handling Yasu’s burial, Lacius continued his life mechanically. He ate, rested, and handled official matters. Until one day he finally rested and dreamed of something for the first time in a long time.

He feels himself ascending to the sky before arriving above the clouds.

Lacius observed his surroundings and found himself stepping on a cloud while there were faint mists surrounding him. Above, some golden lights shone on the clouds below him while most of them were blocked by the faint mists. All of those combinations give a sacred feeling to the area.

After observing the location he is in, Lacius found a few other silhouettes that appeared and finally consolidated into two figures. One of them is a short and stout figure with a messy beard surrounding his face, just like other humans, he wore clothes made out of animal skin. As for the other one, she is a beautiful golden haired woman wearing clothes made of giant leaves. She held an intricately decorated bronze scepter with one hand while on her head, there was a beautiful crown made of flowers.

‘Are they a different kind of humans? There are actually humans beyond the Sacred Kingdom’s rule?’ He knew there were slight differences among humans from different cities, whether it is in terms of skin colors. eye colors, or hair colors. But, the difference won’t be too much.

Whether it is the one with a stout body or the woman with sharp ears, both of them differ too much from the other humans that he has seen. It’s as if they’re of different races altogether.

Lacius turned his head and attempted to strike a conversation with the beautiful woman next to him, “Greetings, may I know which city you come from?”

The beautiful woman turned her head and tilted it. She then spoke in a language that he never heard before.

The realization that woman actually used a different language is quite shocking. But, what’s even more important is that the voice that came out of the woman is quite masculine!

Lacius quickly moved his eyes and observed the woman once more. While staring at her neck, he actually found a bulge on it, a mark that only male humans have.

That realization shook him to the core and made him freeze in shock.

‘What! Is she actually a he?’

What a pity, the human language hasn’t advanced enough. Otherwise the words that come out of Lacius’s mouth would be even more colorful.

While he stood there observing the feminine man with a sharp ear. The mists in front of them slightly parted and a figure whose face was hidden behind a light appeared. Their bodies constantly changed from tall to short, from female to male, from humans like him to one of similar form to the stout man and beautiful man next to him.

“Long time no see.” The figure said with a voice that seems to be the combination of several voices of varying gender and age. They then scanned him and the other two before speaking once more. “Hmm? Well, actually only one of you has seen me as the human race’s representative has just died. So, I’ll reintroduce myself.”

While spreading their arms, the figure said. “I am the creator of the Crystal Cube World. The world where you currently reside in.”

Hearing the mysterious figure’s sentence, Lacius suddenly thought of something and his eyes widened in disbelief. “No way, he is actually real !?!”

The figure turned their head upon hearing his word and asked, “Hmm? What’s wrong?”

“A- are you the god Gratian has always talked about?” Lacius tried his best to be calm, yet he still failed to stop his voice from slightly trembling.

Even though he couldn’t see their faces, Lacius could feel the figure slightly smiled as it answered, “Perhaps.”

While frozen in shock, Lacius heard some voice coming from the stout man standing nearby. The language that beardy short stout man spoke differs greatly from the human’s and the sharp eared feminine man’s.

The mysterious figure turned his head toward the stout man and seemed to be listening to his words. After the stout man stopped talking, they suddenly said, “This is the dream space I created. When you wake up, you’ll still be at your house. I pulled you as the representative for the dwarven race.”

The stout man spoke once more and the figure replied, “Mmhm, the dwarven race already has knowledge of metallurgy, so I didn’t bother to summon you before.”

“Well, let’s stop the introduction section here, my time is quite limited afterall.” The unknown figure raised his hand and motioned for the so-called dwarven race man to stop before continuing, “I summoned everyone to share important information for your respective races and help advance your civilization.”

When the figure said that, Lacius somehow felt he would get shocked quite often today. The shock might even be enough to make him forget about the sadness from Yasu’s death.
