The Extra of The Lunerra

Aiden Tenebra’s plan is not bad. In fact, it’s quite good, and he’s right that even if it really fails, we have nothing to lose.

But...

"I am a king, Count Tenebra. I have to think about all the possible facts, I have to make sure that things don’t get worse. And... even though the whole world knows you are an enemy of Saligia, even though you are a wiera, I, as a king, cannot ignore the doubt that I know is inside me."

That was the truth.

I was a king who had to think of his nation and a father who had to do his best for his family.

So... I didn’t trust him completely.

I wouldn’t.

Not yet.

If he wanted to talk to Alith, I would be there. That was the only condition.

"You think the only person Saligia has harmed... is your son?"

I found myself stunned for a brief moment when his words... suddenly became heavier than ever.

His expression was the same as always, cold and calm. His eyes were the same as always, empty and emotionless.

But... something was different.

"Do you think you’re the only one who hates them?"

He had even stopped addressing me formally. Nothing had changed in his tone, but... something was wrong.

Completely wrong.

And the guards realized it and prepared to act. Only... I stopped them with a slightly raised hand.

But Aiden Tenebra continued, ignoring that fact completely.

"You are wrong."

Suddenly, even the air in the room felt heavy. His surroundings became strange, as if reacting to his words.

It became ominous, disturbing.

And it was at this moment that I realized what actually was different.

"They are the reason I have a lunatic in my mind that I have to suppress every second. Do you know how hard it is, having to keep my thoughts together all the time... trying not to destroy everything I see?"

His eyes were... empty, yes, but not emotionless.

"They are the ones who tortured a person I care about and put him in therapy for months. Even now she can’t look people in the eye properly, but she’s still trying."

He was full of anger, quiet anger.

"They are the ones who killed my girlfriend, an ordinary girl who had nothing to do with them, who had dreams and wanted to live. It was the caora, that fucked up energy that I had no choice but to use to fight, that killed her."

It didn’t affect me much. After all, Aiden Tenebra was weaker than me.

"Whatever has gone and is going wrong in my life, it’s because of them."

But... still...

"None of this is something unknown, something kept secret. You already know all the things I said to you now, you sure researched my whole life before the meeting."

It was so disturbing, so heavy, that I couldn’t believe my eyes.

"And yet... you think there’s a chance I might be one of them?"

A tiny glint appeared in his left eye. The color of the room turned almost imperceptibly purple.

"It is an insult. Simply an insult to my existence and to everything I am."

Gravity felt heavy, his vision blurred.

Everything that had happened... was something I could neutralize instantly. With a simple movement of my hand, my mana could crush it all, just in quantity.

But, for some reason... I found myself unable to do it.

Didn’t want to, rather.

"And even if you were a king, I’m not one to take that insult."

I realized I was wrong.

I realized that I was overlooking what the person in front of me had been through.

That I had been unfair to him.

I realized that even if as a king I thought I was doing the right thing, as a person I felt... sorry for him.

"I hate Saligia. I hate wieras. I hate caora. I hate everything about them to the bone. And that’s why I’m doing everything I can to wipe them off the face of the planet."

But, then, he stopped.

The tiny gleam in his eye receded, the ominous air in the room slowly faded.

Yet the weight of his words remained.

"Don’t... ever tell me again that I could be one of them."

The coldness and hatred in his gaze... only multiplied.

"Well, do whatever you want..."

And after my words, he suddenly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

"Then... with your permission, I will leave."

I turned to the guards, sighing slightly.

"Take him to Alith, make sure he has a one-to-one meeting."

And then he left the room, with the guards.

I... continued to stare blankly ahead, thinking about what I had just experienced.

Cevilian... created a monster, huh.

Or Saligia?

...

I can’t imagine how powerful he will be in a few years, no matter who created him...

But the scary thing is that Aiden Tenebra is only one of the ’monsters’.

There’s another one called Adrian Caleo, or Laute.

And Zayden Aetern, who is rumored to be one of the most talented people the Cevilian has ever seen...

I narrowed my eyes, leaned back.

Cevilian... is getting too powerful.

And I’m not sure how good that is...

*******

I followed the mana trail I felt just as I was returning to Aiden’s side, and soon I found it.

It was just inside the dungeon room where Alith Aroniel was being held. It was very faint, almost impossible to recognize, perhaps.

But not for me.

And, so... I couldn’t help being surprised by what I saw.

"Huh..."

The mana trail... it was not that of a spell or a rune or Alith.

It was much more familiar.

Because... it belonged to a spirit.

A spirit standing right in front of Alith’s face, seeming to speak to him.

Interesting... I thought to myself.

Alith didn’t pretend to be able to hear the spirit in front of him, but he was probably doing it to avoid being caught. It’s not like a spirit would treat someone who couldn’t understand them like that.

I just... didn’t expect it.

So some spirits are working with this Saligia thing, are they?

They were given freedom, who they made a contract with. So I shouldn’t be surprised...

But it still feels strange that one of my own kind would knowingly make a contract with these chaos maniacs.

After my thoughts, I observed Alith and the spirit in front of him a little.

The spirit... didn’t seem to be too high level. She was a normal water spirit with bright blonde hair and blue eyes. She looked at the prince... quite worried, but also nervous, as if she wasn’t sure what to do.

But that’s when I realized the most surprising thing.

I focused even more on the duo, to make sure I hadn’t misunderstood. But... it was true.

There was no connection between Alith and the spirit in front of him, not even a tiny one. In short, they weren’t contracted.

She’s that committed to the prince when she hasn’t even signed a contract with him? Even stranger...

This time, I concealed my presence thoroughly, trying to hear what they were saying.

"-ill kill!"

Will kill?

Is she trying to warn him?

I moved closer to the duo.

"The others are trying to find a way, but it’s impossible! You need to use chaos!"

She wants him to use Caora...

But ’others’?

Who are they?

My eyebrows furrowed, different thoughts popped into my mind.

Other traitors that Aiden suspects?

And why is she speaking so formally?

"P- please listen to me, please!"

The water spirit begged and begged the prince. But the prince didn’t make a sound, didn’t move his eyes even a little from their fixed point.

And the water spirit soon realized this and became even more anxious and nervous. She looked around, taking in each of the guards, one by one. Then she clicked her tongue and simply disappeared.

The dungeon fell silent again. I, meanwhile, focused on the prince more intensely than ever.

My perception had been quite restricted up to now as I had made a special effort to conceal my presence and had isolated myself from mana to a great extent.

But when I lifted that restriction even a little... it made me feel something I hadn’t been able to feel until now.

"Huh..."

The prince... felt almost confusingly like a ’friend’. He felt strangely reassuring to me. I wanted to go to him as if... he was drawing me to him just by his presence.

As if there was no way he could be one of those chaos maniacs, but an angel instead.

I acted as fast as I could, shutting my perceptions back down and taking my eyes off the prince. And only then did I realize what was happening.

Prince Alith... like Aiden, has "The One Who is Close to Spirits" skill.

It didn’t take me long to realize the error in my thinking though.

No... he’s an elf. He doesn’t have the system, so he can’t have the skill.

But he has something very close to it, maybe even superior.

I turned around, I was going to turn back quickly to report what I had seen, but... I paused.

My eyes widened at what I suddenly felt. I turned so fast in the direction of the prince again that I couldn’t even collect my expression.

And...

I stared with my mouth open, unable to believe what I was seeing and feeling.

The water spirit was gone, yes.

But... the prince was not alone.

Another spirit appeared in front of him, looking at him sadly.

Then another spirit, who seemed to want to hug him.

And another one.

And one more...

Dozens of them...

...

They were all in front of the prince. None of them said a word, but... each of them had a certain degree of sadness on their faces.

The prince may have had something that allowed him to attract souls, yes. But even that was not enough to explain what was in front of me.

Not a single one of the dozens of spirits had a contract with the prince of the elves. And yet they were all in front of him, feeling sorry for him.

For the first time, the prince of the elves moved, even though he had not reacted to any of the previous water spirits’ words. It caused all the guards watching him to pause, to look in his direction.

But he did not care. The corner of his lips curved upward slightly as he looked at the spirits before him, offering them a small smile.

The guards, unable to see the spirits, did not understand what was happening. Because the prince did nothing but smile. He didn’t open his mouth, he didn’t say a word. He was just... silent. The spirits, likewise, were silent.

I swallowed, which was all I could do in the face of the scene in front of me. And then... as soon as I turned around, I started flying toward Aiden as fast as possible.

I need to let him know about this.

As quickly as possible.
