Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 1048 283: Butterflies Ultimately Cannot Cross the Sea of Stars (10K)

I don't mind taking action directly against the Church people, killing a few Divine Favored doesn't matter. My daughter is gone, and even if I go a bit crazy, no matter how many people from the Church die, they can only remain silent.

But this isn't the reason I chose to shelter you."

Kael was momentarily surprised. The Caesar Governor's meaning seemed somewhat different from what he had just assumed.

Originally, he thought Caesar was unwilling to take this risk, and even wanted to remain silent about his daughter's death.

This shocked him, as the governor, known in his past life for decisiveness and swift action, could still remain calm in such a situation.

Unexpectedly…

His meaning was actually that he didn't intend to hide this anger, and didn't mind expressing it directly. What he really rejected was Kael's words about "intimidating the Holy Hall and directly interfering with the schemes against Kael."

No... That's not right.

A flash of insight crossed his mind, and looking at the indifferent face of the middle-aged man projected inside the Mage Tower, he pondered for a moment and said:

"I am a citizen of the Yibel Federation Duchy."

The Caesar Governor shook his head, saying: "That's the reason I set legal provisions to protect you, the reason I keep the war outside the national border, but not the reason to protect you unconditionally."

Kael's eyes lit up, seemingly understanding the governor's meaning, then he said again: "I am the main candidate for the next Duke of Engilance Duchy. With sufficient strength, I can free the Lion Heart Chamber. Give me some time, I can provide adequate protection for the Engilance Duchy."

Kael began to test the governor's bottom line.

The Caesar Governor shook his head once more, saying: "That's the Lion Heart Chamber's reason to protect you, the reason I let the Tulip Chamber of Commerce greatly support you, the reason we can provide you with some valuable resources for advancement and meet some of your not-so-excessive demands, but not the reason to protect you unconditionally."

Kael nodded, saying again: "The Mage Net plan needs to continue, requiring a leader who can support its ongoing expansion, and I am the best fit for that role.

Moreover, if the initial initiators of the Floating City plan fail, the ensuing chain reaction might interfere with our major plans."

The Caesar Governor's face showed a meaningful smile.

Interesting, the Mage Net plan first, then the Floating City plan. Though he had some speculation initially, now he felt closer to uncovering the truth Kael hides.

He nodded, saying: "This is the reason the governor is willing to protect you. For the future of the Yibel Federation, I won't let them erase those who can decide the hope of future rise."

His gaze returned to Kael, carrying a faint expectation, but indeed gave a promise to protect Kael.

Yet Kael bowed his head, carefully pondering the governor's words with an even more serious expression:

"I adopted the name Cedric from Sister Olivia, and I can feel her life's final unwillingness, towards you, towards herself, and towards those lofty beings.

As a brother, as a friend, as Elanna's fiancé, as a Human, I am very angry about such results.

I swear by the name Kael.D.Helois.Cedric that I will snap the necks of those cowards."

The Caesar Governor stood up, and even with just that action, his imposing figure partially obscured the light behind him. He slowly moved to the front of the Communication Crystal, bending down, and a faint bloodshot could be seen in his eye sockets.

His voice deepened a bit, creating an immensely oppressive atmosphere as he spoke:

"Clearly remember your current status, you are the bearer of my poor daughter's name, the blood of Cedric flows through you now, you are currently the youngest son of the Cedric Family. This is the reason why Caesar chooses to intervene."

Kael nodded, saying: "I understand your meaning."

"Hmm, let me handle the matters ahead."

Caesar's footsteps seemed somewhat heavy. Then suddenly he remembered something and said:

"Tomorrow, I am going to Engilance Royal Capital, come to accompany me."

Kael nodded slightly, replying: "Yes."

...

Soon, the Communication Crystal was disconnected.

Kael took a deep breath, let out a long sigh, saying: "Such terrifying pressure, is this what it means to be the number one Human in this era?"

Facing the Caesar Governor, he truly felt an oppression that was difficult to describe, an oppression perhaps resonating as his strength was severely suppressed while facing a creature at the top of the food chain.

In two lifetimes, it's his first time encountering such a being classified as the continent's utmost apex monster in any version.

"Aister."

"Master, I am here."

"What do you think is the Chaos Source Essence?"

"I don't know, Master..."

"Now, targeted by enemies because of something whose nature is unknown, this leaves me quite displeased. When displeased, I want to strike back, pity my current skill level isn't enough…"
