Multiverse Conquest: Rise of the Saiyan Empire

Chapter 63: Sisters

'The worst hypothesis' that Schneizel had suggested to the council is

That the Rwa Empire is only manipulated, reacting to a much bigger scheme going on

A scheme that involves the Saharos Empire!

Their goal: The King Piece!!

But the worst hypothesis doesn't stop here.

The question is

Why now?

Why go through with this scheme in this era?!

The Saharos and Combrosia Empire existed for millennials.With one as mighty as Dragon and the Other as weak as a mouse.

They have only been getting stronger and stronger, becoming the de facto leader of the Continent

And the Combrosia only kept getting weaker with time

Yet being the De facto leader and actually owning the continent are two different matters altogether

The Emperors kept coming and going

Yet even with their power, they never made a move, only getting into wars with opponents far weaker than them, growing slowly and steadily.

Like a sleeping beast who would wake up once in a decade to fill its stomach. This approach made the farther countries even less conscientious of them. Isolating them from the collective conscience of the majority if the continent.

So much that even the Saharosians have become a fantasied legend.

So why ?

Why now?

SuddenlyThey can't wait to get their hands on this King Piece.?!

The Supreme Council came to ONE conclusion.

A conclusion that only the Atlas Empire could come up with

Precisely because they were doing the exact the same thing!!

'The Astaroth king Piece must hold a much deeper meaning.'

'Its power is completely unknown to those of the continent and even if it was, it wouldn't be desired that much.'

'The King Piece is something much more profound than simply a powereful artifact'

He opened his eyes wide:

'The King Piece is a SYMBOL!'

'SYMBOL of the only man to ever unite this CONTINENT!'

'The first Emperor and the founder of the Vega Dynasty Lorengar Vega!'

"THOSE FILTHY BASTARD ARE PLANNING TO LAUNCH A FULL-ON CONQUEST TOO!!"

Not one but two sleeping lions were on this Continent!

'If they deem themselves ready to take over the CountinentThat only means that they are far STRONGER.Than what they appear to be!'

He laughed alone like a deranged person:

"Good! Good! The Saharos Emperor probably already sees himself at the throne of the Continent!! The Higher you fly, the Hardest the Fall! You filthy scum!"

Hiding the greater part of their fangsWaiting for the opportunity to strike with all their might!!

'And this organization is old, old enough to know about things that even our Dynasty doesn't know. Great enough to know about the plans of the Saharos Empire...'

He smiled widely:

"They probably know about those GODS and Pantheons I saw!!"

"And the King Piece must be related to all that!!"

He looked at his reflection on the mirror as he smirked:

"The Dark kindness, huh"

He then looked up:

"Colluding with those traitorous of all people."

"Some things are hard to forgive my sister"

Imperial Garden.

The usually happy environment was tainted by electrical tension as two women sat facing each other.

Two Blood Sisters

Yet now the close bond the two used to share, seemed like a distant memory.

Linaella with her beautiful enchanting smile, and Shahrazad with her stern yet calm face. The both of them kept staring at each other in a silent face off.

Any observer would feel chills up his spine with just a glance.

Two Great characters of The Vega dynasty were facing each other!

It was Linaella who broke the standstill:

"ShahrazadI always knewthat sooner or later we would have this conversation."

Shahrazad smirked:

"You probably imagined me confronting youDecades laterAbout the death of my Beloved and the Fate of my Country."

"Your agenda would have already been implanted and you would throw all that in my face."

Linaealla didn't refute her claims:

"SadlyPlans always yield to circumstances."

Shahrazad narrowed her smile:

"When plans fail. One should know when to surrender."

Linaella laughed lightly:

"Always the right thing to say, my sister. You were born for this position you are in."

"Graceful, exuding authority, words always on the spot. Nurturing but stern."

"Even when I saw this Empire crumbling before my eyes. I still couldn't envision you to be nothing but an Empress."

She narrowed her smile:

"Sadly, you are destined to be disappointed. I have been fighting him since we were young."

"I have been fighting him away from his people, away from his father and away from your hearts. Surrender is out of the question."

Shahrazad sighed:

"Those are some big words. Haven't you been fighting the hardest to keep him away from your heart?"

Lina had a surprised face for a second before recovering her bearings:

"You say quite the curious things, Shahrazad."

The Empress tilted her head sideways:

"There is nothing 'curious' about it. Kosem knows it too"

"What you have been fighting is never Mal but 'The idea of him'."

"Up until now, the only one who thinks she is fighting Marek is you."

She looked deeply at her:

"Because you didn't even take the time to know him. Fearing that 'his curse' could take a hold of your heart."

Linaella seemed a little riled up:

"There is nothing that I don't know about him. I have been observing him for years."

Shahrazad sneered:

"Oh Really? Then let me tell you this"

"Do you know that 'every night' before he goes to sleep, he visits Nunally to look at her legs and eyes, because he isn't confident in his healing abilities?

Do you know that every morning, he disguises and visits the shelters personally, even though his eyes could make him easily anything going in the Empire?

Do you know that he takes care of observing each of the 20 000 Elevens every day, only so he can mention their state to Euphemia, when she asks him?"

Linealla only kept silent. Shahrazad had a profound gaze:

"It's easy to label people with names and traits, and then pretending to understand them."

Calm rage appeared on her eyes:

"You were trying to kill someone you don't even know. You are only obssessed with your crusade."

Linaella smiled lightly:

"I stand corrected. Then let me ask you a question?"

Shahrazad nodded:

"Isn't his goal to unleash war on the Continent?"

Shahrazad responded:

"Yes"

"Is there anyway for him to not do that?"

"Absolutely not."

"Then, maybe you should get to know me. For I am as determined as him."

Shahrazad sighed :

"I already know you, sister. Much more than you think. "

"If you think I came here to change your mind, you are deeply mistaken."

"I only came here, to let you know what I thought, as you are still my sister."

Linaella narrowed her gaze:

"You still have some things to say."

Shahrazad spoke:

"Living only for ideals, living for others is meaningless. In every world, everyone fights for their own happiness and their own place in the world."

Linaella smiled slihtly:

"It is my happiness to fight for Peace"

Shahrazad stood up:

"I really hope, that in whichever organization you are in, you've made some really good bonds."

"Because your way of life is extremely lonely."

Linaella narrowed her eyes:

"Is that all?"

"Tomorrow you will be summoned by the Emperor."

Linaella took a deep breath as Shahrazad gaze grow colder:

"Fortunately for you, your fate is still in his hands"

Her dark eyes became like an endless abyss:

"Pray, that I don't have get involvedSister"
