Chapter 56 56: Aftermath [2]
Three days went by in a flash, the bodies of the three pursued nobles were found in a shallow corner.
Lenny had killed them and tossed them away.
Making them both hidden and open as well, but he kept them in a place where it would seem only those with Space Path Fallen Runes could reach.
Making it seem as though descendants of the Great House Venus had killed them personally.
***
After being cleared by the Regulator's Association, Lenny returned back to his apartment the next day.
He was only processed on time and allowed to leave because of his status as a noble.
A Night as well.
Others remained locked in the Regulator's Association, the Great House Venus were angered.
Enraged by the assasination of their youngsters, the futures of their Great House.
Every single Fallen Regulator is a suspect, including members of the Great House Nova.
Lenny laid-back on his arm-chair, his legs crossed as he glanced at the shimmering laptop screen.
He breathed in deeply, "The news has been published by the Regulator's Association"
He chuckled softly, "I thought they would bury it"
Corinthian stood beside Lenny with his arms folded, "They would have, if there weren't too many people" He spoke.
Lenny slightly tilts his gaze, he asked "What do you mean by that?"
Corinthian lingered for a second, "Its simple, there were more than three thousand Fallen Regulators present during the assasination"
"And the Regulator's Association was completely sealed, something chaotic was ongoing"
"Fallen Regulators aren't dumb, they would figure it out soon enough…."
"And the Great House Venus known for their neutrality will be stupid to wipe out thousands of Fallen Regulators just to burial such secret" Corinthian explained.
Lenny giggled, "Its quite funny" He smiled.
Corinthian nods, "I know, I understand what you're thinking Lenny….."
"If it were Father, he would have sacrificed thousands of Fallen Regulators to bury that secret"
"But now the Great House Venus and the Great House Ares are publicly accusing themselves''
"The Regulator's Association and the Government, two powerful organizations in the Regulator's society"
"They're at odds with eachother" Corinthian sighed softly.
Lenny read the news which was recently uploaded to the official website of the Regulator's Association.
His eyebrows furrowed, "Will war come?" He asked.
Corinthian was in deep thoughts for a moment before answering, He shook his head "No"
"No one wants war, the Government and the Regulator's Association are both powerful organizations"
"They govern the Regulator's society in their own way, control assets and Fallen Regulators"
"Excluding the titled Generals and titled Lords, they have more than twenty thousand Fallen Regulators each under their banners"
"It will be foolish to sacrifice so many people just for the sake of war" Corinthian explained.
Upon hearing that, Lenny's excitement dimmed, he frowned "Then what's the purpose of this chaos?"
"I thought the Den of Thieves seeks war between the two Great Houses of Venus and Ares"
"Between the Government and the Regulator's Association"
"Why would they choose this path if no war is to occur?" Lenny asked.
Corinthian chuckled, "I never said there will be no war, it just wouldn't happen at the moment"
"The Den of Thieves understood this and they're quite the patient time, you know"
"I don't know what their goal is but it seems to be targeting the Government"
"There may be a sleeper cell kept hidden within the Government, waiting to be activated"
"This agent of the thieves might even be one of their executives" Corinthian sighed softly.
"All I know is, this is more deeper than we could understand"
"We must prepare for what's to come" Corinthian stated and Lenny agreed with him.
Lenny's lips curled faintly, "I amassed quite the amount of money from the Labyrinth of Ashura"
"So I'll be purchasing a full set Fallen Relic and will be venturing into the Fallen Realm once again"
Corinthian stared at the laptop screen, "Which Sanctuary would you be anchored to?" He asked.
"Well" Lenny paused for a second, "I'm now officially acknowledged by the Regulator's Association"
"I'll be anchored to the Great Sanctuary of the Regulator's Association"
"The Great Sanctuary: Frey Empire" He grinned, Lenny is excited about visiting a Great Sanctuary.
The Telvian Sanctuary was a D-class owned by the Buijun Guild, it could not be compared to A-class Sanctuaries.
E-class, D-class and C-class Sanctuaries were monopolized by both the Great Houses, Government and Regulator's Association.
A Guild becomes licensed once they own a Sanctuary, low-tier Guilds controls E-class Sanctuaries.
Middle-tier Guilds control D-class Sanctuaries and high-tier Guilds control C-class Sanctuaries.
Meanwhile the top-ranking Guilds control both B-class and A-class Sanctuaries.
Some titled Lords even own the rights to B-class Sanctuaries but that's if they cleared the Sanctuary themselves.
A-class Sanctuaries are the headquarters of the ten Top Guilds in the Fallen Realm.
E-class Sanctuaries were also known as Great Sanctuaries.
And they were extremely few in numbers.
Rarely seen and many Fallen Regulators consider it a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit such a grand domain.
Lenny was going to visit a Great Sanctuary soon, this got him extremely excited.
Once he becomes a titled Lord, he would venture into the depths of the Fallen Realm.
To uncover the mysteries behind the disappearance of the Great House Night's missing Great Sanctuary.
"What is your purpose of visiting that Great Sanctuary?" Corinthian asked, he had to ask.
It wasn't easy to predict someone like Lenny Night.
Lenny Night softly exhaled, "I don't know, all I know is that I'll be going on some adventures"
Corinthian lingered for a moment, "And what if the Great Houses attack?" He asked.
Lenny shrugged, "Let them attack, in the end….they'd be the ones who dies" He chuckled.
***
"Bloody hell" A gentle voice echoed, the sounds of approaching footsteps resounded across the scene.
Walking down the hallway was a young redhead.
Her eyes flickered with emerald hue, she stood tall, clad in armored Fallen Relic.
Her hair fluttered in the wind, and behind her…..three men followed.
They all had black hairs, ordinary looking with nothing extraordinary to show.
They were all clad in battle armors but grades lower than hers, she leads them and they follow.
This isn't Earth….
But the Fallen Realm instead.
And this is a castle located inside the domain of a Great Sanctuary, a space the size of a country.
Outside the castle grounds, thousands of Fallen Regulators loitered, sounds of whispers and laughter reverberated through the air.
This is the Great Sanctuary: Aenon's Throne!
Aenon, a name reverend by all men, worshipped even in death.
This is the name of the God of Sorcery!
The god which the Great House Alyster serves.
The insignia of the Great House Alyster was imprinted on her battle armor, a symbol of Sorcery.
The Alysters are all known Sorcerers.
And she's a sorceress as well, a titled General.
Eve del Alyster.
The news had reached the Fallen Realm, reached the ears of nobles of other Great Houses.
If the Regulator's society were to know about what had occured, the Great Houses would be the first to be informed.
Eve softly exhaled, "This is the first time in three hundred years since something like this occurred"
"Great Houses at odds with eachother" She paused, "And the sons of Ares colluding with the Den of Thieves huh?"
"This is more terrible than I had imagined" She chuckled softly, "If the children of Shadows were still around"
"Something like this wouldn't have happened, the Great Houses of Venus and Ares wouldn't be openly at odds with eachother'' She spoke.
Her voice gentle yet laced with authority.
A titled General wasn't someone who could be joked with, to be a Rank 4 Fallen Regulator isn't by luck.
Many Fallen Regulators were known to fall during their second Apocalypse and even their third as well.
This was a dangerous world.
A mad realm to be honest.
"General Eve" A soldier called out, "What is it?" Eve questioned the moment she tilts her head.
The soldier gulped, "Its reported that a child of Shadows still lives"
Eve nods, "I'm aware of that, my uncle, the Patriarch is quite against that decision, what about it?" She asked.
The soldier sighed softly, "It was reported that the child of Shadows had been present during the whole incident"
"Huh?" Eve raised an eyebrow, her movements came to a halt "A child of Shadows and a thief exists in the same event and yet not one of them was reported dead?"
"This is a suprise, is that little prick really that strong?" She wondered.
"Or was he untouchable?" She suddenly shook her head, "No, that's not possible…."
"Who in their right sense would want to protect a Night?"
She turned to face her soldiers, "Bring me Informations regarding this little Night bastard"
"Every single information you can find, his whereabouts, his actions and everything"
"I'll be paying the brat a visit" Her lips curled faintly.
"My lady, is it to kill the noble?" A soldier asked.
She shook her head, "Nah, just to toy with him that's all"
"Killing him isn't something I'm permitted to do"
