Chapter 46: True Purpose

[Amid Empire, Emperor's Garden]

In the eyes of Emperor Amos, the silhoutte of Asagi's past appearance in her own world was fully displayed right in front of him and just right behind the Queen of angels herself, as if it were its guiding ghost

Since Asagi didn't notice such a weird situation before, Emperor Amos just disregarded such a minor detail of appearance as he somehow experience such situation before in his past expedition when he was just a simple prince

For him such an occurrence was already explained in the past by the empire's mages, they declared that such ghosts or entity that could be seen as a ghost right behind every person that he could see was nothing but the previous appearance of the said person in its previous life, in other words such a said person was a reincarnator

Of course such people called reincarnators are quite rare in the world and somehow just a select few among the whole population in the whole world, but due to that certain occurrence he then learned that he possess a special eye which could discern anything and anyone with just a single glance

With his own eyes he could discern whether a person was lying or not, whether a person was hiding something or honest at thought, and he can discern the real identity of the people he targeted through his sight (mostly by focusing on a particular person)

Due to his unique ability, he was then able to exceptionally lead numerous people to be his loyal retainers and eventually claim the throne, he could even discern whether the said person was planning to assassinate him or not, thus he was able to rid of the empire of its corrupt citizens before they could even grow and any threat towards his reign

With him in the lead, he was able to strengthen the military might of the empire and lead it towards prosperity, clearly like a chosen one of the said country

Lastly his most prized ability which brought by his eyes, was his ability to see a slight peek into the future through the use of dreams or in Bible verse a prophetic dream

However despite having such an omnipotent clairvoyance clearly granted by the will of this world since his birth, he was only able to use such an ability passively and has no full control over such an ability, nevertheless he still did great job as the current emperor of the empire

With all those aspect regarding the special circumstances of his eyes, it was no wonder he could immediately saw through Asagi and immediately discern her as a reincarnator of some sort

Luckily for Asagi herself, the moment she was seen through by the eyes of the emperor, the system then currently explained the situation to her through the use of notification

*********
Warning!

The emperor has seen through your previous identity despite with the safeguard of the system through the use of his clairvoyance

Note:
Be careful host! This guy is really bad news

*********
*********
Emergency task!

Gain the Emperor's trust and convince him to pull back his troops

Reward:
60,000 gold
Land expansion (+4 km all around the kingdom)

Consequence of failure:
The three kingdom's will fall

*********

Seeing the sudden emergency quest, Asagi then finally got the gist that getting the Emperor's trust was a must to retain the survival of the three kingdom's she was allied with

Even thought her kingdom has no affiliated relationship with the kingdom's on the surface but only business partnership, she still had to repay the Celeste Kingdom of their generosity towards her in terms of helping her managing her own kingdom, because of that she had to convince the emperor to pull back, before more innocent lives could be killed

"I'm Asagi! I'm once a human myself, but ever since I reincarnated in this world, I was then heralded as the queen of angels... even though this might seemed crazy, but I'm telling the truth, I'm not from this world"

Hearing her answer and seeing no false in her words, Emperor Amos simply turned his back on her as he gazed at his plants and replied

"No wonder your previous life's appearance has weird clothing... it answers all those questions I had in my mind"

"I... see" replied Asagi as she gave a stiffled smile upon hearing that her previous clothing was weird

But before they could derail off topic, she then suddenly said

"Emperor Amos! You are guilty for declaring a war agaisnt the three kingdom's that are living a peaceful life om the surface, even thought i don't know your reason for doing such things, you had undeniably let a lot of people die... I order you as the queen of angels to stand down" said Asagi with a dignified look as she exerted a slight amount of mana to intimidate Emperor Amos

But despite getting intimidated by such tremendous mana not belonging to a human, Emperor Amos simply replied back while releasing an equally terrifying mana with a tremendous amount unto the surroundingsand clash agaisnts Asagi's mana and push back her intimidation

"And what's my business to you? Your not a surface dweller, in fact your not even human in your current form, the problems of the humans should only be dealt by humans itself, other species sharing sympathy for the weak should just back away"

Noticing the tremendous aura released by the Emperor, which is equally matched against her, Asagi was then slightly shocked for a moment as she quickly regained her composure and remembered her purpose to convince the emperor to pull back his troops, of course she did this while not pulling back her own mana and contend it against the Emperor's own mana to prove that she shouldn't be underestimated

"I... I am connected to this situation at one point, Celeste Kingdom is an allied kingdom to my kingdom, thus we have the responsibility to aid our allied kingdom when they are facing an eminent danger in the face of a certain threat... in this case your empire attacking our border is the threat towards our allied country"

"So your allied with such a country in the south? No wonder you had your troops aid with the soldiers of the kingdom on our southern border, without your interference we might have already conquered them" said Emperor Amos

"In fact its Northern border since its practically the property of Celeste Kingdom" interjected Asagi

"But since we occupied it then it will be our property" replied Emperor Amos causing Asagi to be speechless to his shamelessness

But before she could continue with such talk, Emperor Amos suddenly asked her heartily

"So what made you ally with them? Debt? Pact? Contract? Or gratitude?"

"Its gratitude for them helping me" answered Asagi

"I see... so you helped them just because of gratitude? Such a shallow reason" commented Emperor Amos

"But that reason is already enough for us to return the favor" replied Asagi with an annoyed expression

"Enough reason? If that was your only reason then just ally with the empire as a return of favor for us aiding your kingdom's prosperity in the near future, partner with us, after all having our aid is much better than being aided by a backwater kingdom in the south... you can think your help on aiding us would be your advance compensation for our hardwork on helping your kingdom grow in the near future" said Emperor Amos, clearly trying his best to break the bond of the Queen of Angels towards the Kingdom of Queen Celestia

But instead of being tempted by such an offer of a higher degree from an even powerful country, Asagi couldn't help but view Emperor Amos as similar to those backstabbing and cunning people on the market industry who would do anything to push you down back in her own world, due to that she simply gritted her teeth in anger as she stayed calm in appearance and replied

"You've got the nerve to propose such deal to us, don't you know shame?"

"Shame? is their such a term during the times of war? I believe that one person need to do or use everything and anything in it's disposal to win a war, in wartimes there is no such thing as shame, such word are only described by people who often got caught to its enemies trap, in other words the losers" replied Emperor Amos

"Now your making me look the bad guy?" asks Asagi

"Nope! On the contrary my words is just a proposal of partnership itself, there are no good nor bad during the times of war oh dear queen of the angels, only different perspective" answered Emperor Amos

"Sadly to say I'm not that coldhearted of a person, I prefer repaying a gratitude with gratitude itself, so no matter what you say ill stand with the kingdom" replied Asagi

Hearing her answer, Emperor Amos simply laughed a little bit as he said

"Heh! You fool! Such a shame! You've wasted a good opportunity to cooperate with me"

"Indeed! What a shame, I could even say it to you too" said Asagi as she walked nearer towards the Emperor with all her guards up for any contingencies

Upon hearing such bold words, Emperor Amos expression suddenly turned serious as he turned her way while giving out a forced smile

"The Empire doesn't lack any weapons of war, In fact our firepower is strong enough to decimate the three neighboring kingdoms in the middle continent, much less your insignificant kingdom of angels which who knows how many population you have"

"Do you think my angels are afraid of your weapons? Looks like your overestimating yourself! In fact with just me alone, I'm confident that I could literally blow you up right here right now" said Asagi as she raised up her mana to a violent degree as she shows a slight irritation towards the Emperor's conduct towards them

"You? take me down? Bwahahahahahahaha...ahahahaha! Now that's a good laugh, but since your seemingly not lying, that must mean that your really confident that you can take me down, i dont even now if i should commend your bravery or your just an idiot!" said Emperor Amos, seemingly not intimidated or provoked at all

Amidst the laughter from Emperor Amos, Asagi then suddenly snapped in irritation as she inadvertently released a huge amount of mana unto the surrounding causing the whole capital to suddenly submerge in her murderous aura

In that moment every person who were sleeping peacefully suddenly woke up from their sleep, as some people who were awake suddenly quake beneath their feet

Even Ariel and Darius themselves who can be considered as close confidant of Asagi was not spared as they suddenly got downed from the pressure that Asagi was emitting within the castle

In that moment at that time, no matter whether one is asleep or awake, whether one is a human or an animal, everyone could almost feel the looming presence of death grasping their very own neck as if sentencing all of them to their impending deaths,

The only person however who managed to withstand her own presence despite Asagi releasing a huge amount of killing intent directed at him was none other the Emperor of the Amid Empire itself

Due to his own abundant mana serving as his shield from the dreadful killing intent of Asagi, Emperor Amos was the somehow late to react towards the grim situation of the surroundings as he suddenly stopped laughing and started cough hardly to redirect the subject

Of course amidst the situation, he still stayed calm as he was unexpectedly unaffected by the atmosphere of the surroundings, causing Asagi herself to be stunned from his demeanor

"Ehem! Well enough of the laughter, anyway I believe you wanted to know the reason why you were brought here right?"

"..."

"Silence? Fine! Be it that way! Your glad that I'm such a considerate Emperor who would overlook your own inappropriate manner, but putting that aside the reason why I called you here is particularly your own presence"

"?"

"You... for some reason suddenly appeared in my clairvoyance despite this not happening in the past, i don't know how and I don't know why, but for some reason you are involved to the very reason why I'm establishing my military might throughout every territory of my enviroment"

"?!?!"

"Actually your not alone, there are still other 9 hazy looking people, I can't even describe them, but you for some reason the presence in my clairvoyance is as clear as broad daylight, and the reason for this sudden change in premonition must be something related to you, something that has enough power to influence the present and change the foreseeable future, so I'm gonna ask you honestly... just who are you?"
