~JULLIUS’S P.O.V~

  “ So do you know what is it about ? “

  To think he would call me so sudden when i just got my day off i hope it’s not something big.

  Rigth now i’m inside a carrige with Kean, the duke’s subordinate or should i say my father-in-law’s subordinate.

  When i’m forced to retire from my position as the Knight Commander because of my heart condition, Sillian offered me a job as his consul. And since then tons of work submitted to me, it’s not like i’m not grateful it just because if i can choose i prefer to be in the field battling with criminals rather than in the office battling with papers.

  I’m still young after all, this kind of jobs should be submitted to me when i hit my forty.

  “ I’m sorry but the duke just ordered me to fetch you as fast as possible, he didn’t tell me anything else “

  Kean answer my question earlier when i lost my self in though.

  “ I see, did anything happen while i’m not present ? “

  ‘as fast as possible’ that line is bothering me.

  “ Nothing is out of ordinary as far as i know “

  And that means something out of ordinary is actually happen.

  We continue chatting for a while inside the carrige until finally we arrive at our destination.

  Kean hastily guide me to Sillian’s office as soon as we get out from the carrige, he really in rush because of the ‘as fast as possible’ order from Sillian. Well Sillian is that kind of a man, if he say fast then it have to be so fast just because he don’t want to wait.

  “ *knock* *knock* Sir , your consul has arrive “

  He knocked the door even though it’s opened to inform about our arrival.

  “ You’re finally here, thank you Kean you can leave us now and please close the door “

  Whoa that was kinda rude, but he said that with such expression that can’t be described oh his face.

  I can see tension, anxiety, confusion mixed in one expression.

  This is something serious.

  “ Sir “

  Kean bow slightly then leave

  “ I’m here father, is there something i need to know ? “

  “ Come here Jullius there is something you need to see “

  He pick a small envelope from his table then handing it to me.

  “ This letter is already on top of my table when i come here in the morning, i asked if there is someone who came inside my office before me but they said that there is none “

  I take the envelope and it makes me shocked when i notice the seal, the blue seal with the drawing of a rose and an eye in the middle of it.

  “ This can’t be, is it from that woman ? “

  “ It is, check the letter inside and read it “

  I open the envelope and pick the letter inside, there is only one person who will sent a letter with this seal on it.

  Ughh... it really is from her, and Sillian i believe you read the letter as well so it will be great if you don’t willingly dance on the palm of her hand and disturbed me.

  And please don’t casually watch other people lifes, don’t you know about privacy ?

  But well she mentioned about my rare day off, so i hope Sillian will take a note from it.

  To the entire world ?

  Why are you telling me this ?

  Isn’t it better to tell someone else more important ?

  The three children on my house ?

  What do you mean by your visions are focused on them?

  This is absurd !!!

  I thought that as i silently read the content of the letter, the more i read it the harder for me to believe it.

  I can understand if it about Nexan, but why did she said all of that about my children ?

  Blessed child ? Fragment of god ? and what with this prophecies ?

  I can feel my self unable to stand anymore, i let my self fall into a chair and keep processing about the content in this absurd letter.

  “ What do you think about it ? “

  “ I- i don’t know “

  I now understand why Sillian having such expression.

  Miranda Corsuel is a great oracle, she is famous with her ability to see through time whether it is the future or even the past. She helped with guiding the hero in the great war three years ago which bring peace to this whole continent. But what she wrote in this letter said that there will be no peace after that ?

  “ Many wars and big events will occur and the children will be part of it ? i can’t believe this bullshit “

  I don’t want to believe it, i really don’t.

  “ Neither of us want to believe it Jullius “

  .....................

  “ About Alvin, do you think that Lord Andresta will bless him ? “

  Lord Andresta as know as the god of judgement, the god of Excidium faith. From i the very beginning i’ve become the believer of Excidium. And now to think that my son will be blessed by him... isn’t... isn’t that great ?

  To be chosen by the god you worship and serve him as his champion or even become the god’s tool to reach his goal. Isn’t that what we as the believer of him should become from the very beginning ?

  And if Alice is already blessed by him shouldn’t i be grateful for it ?

  That means among of millions of his believers he chose my family.

  “ Jullius, i know what you are thinking right now and i understand, however... i want you think about it more clearly“

  His words snap me back into reality.

  In this letter she said that it’s not a good thing to be a champion of the god, she even tell some event in the future that will happen to Alvin in her prophecies.

  After that Sillian and i excanges about our thought for the rest of the day. We discuss about the children and the prophecies and a way to prevent some of the prophecies.

  However with only the two of us we can’t reach anything, we arguing about telling the high priest from Excidium church about the letter but at the same time we can’t let them know about the content of the prophecies.

  If we give them Miranda’s letter they will believe it without second thought, but if we just tell them that my children is and will be blessed they will think i’m crazy or that i dream too big.

  And the worst part of it is the fact that we can’t get in contact with Miranda at all. We don’t know where she is and how she sent this letter.

  I let a heavy breath out of my mouth as i thinking about this day.

  This day is should be the day where i can enjoy my time with my family, resting my self from the work as the duke’s consul. But instead of it, i got my self shocking fact about my children and the burden of a prophecies about the entire world.
