Curse of the Xbreed: Silverian & Blackerian

Aerim's Suspicion

"He's been inside for three hours, and we haven't heard anything at all. The Head Nurse just asked us to wait in front," Higarashi replied with a very riled up face.

Xyon's mind grew more and more filled with curiosity as he looked at Higarashi and Aerim who seemed unwilling to approach each other. He then looked at Aerim while nodding once, and the Silverian King replied with a blink from both eyes.

"We'd better leave Higarashi alone here first. I saw a huge tension on his face. He must be anxious waiting for the happy news from Keira," said Xyon.

Aerim seemed to know the meaning of the remark, then he replied, "Alright, we should wait in the backyard."

He then walked first to the backyard of the palace, followed by the four others except for Higarashi. Once they got there, the five stood under a large tree, staring at each other with serious faces.

"Tell me now, what has really happened between the two of you?! Then why are your clothes covered in blood?" asked Xyon with a huffed face.

"Have you just fought with Higarashi?" asked Arex while frowning his forehead.

Aerim let out a short sigh, then he replied with an annoyed face, "I came here with the intention of visiting Keira, but I instead found her kneeling in one of the palace hallways crying. He told me that Higarashi had scolded him loudly. I thought he was just not feeling well, but as soon as I saw the blood flowing to wet his legs, I immediately asked the maid for help and carried Keira up to the treatment room."

"What do you mean Higarashi scolded Keira? There's no way he's doing that. He loved Keira very much," Weim replied with curiosity.

"The problem was, as soon as I arrived in front of the room to tell Higarashi that Keira was in the treatment room, I opened the door a little bit, and hearing the foolish king muttering by calling a woman named Viora," Aerim replied in a high tone.

Xyon paused for a moment, then he said to Aerim, "Viora? Uh! Higarashi and I were inside the Silverian Planet before the cosmic energy explosion. We were about to bring Keira back, but the atmosphere of your planet was very easy to penetrate, because there was no Silverian army there at all. A woman named Viora suddenly appeared, and told us where you hid Keira.”

Suddenly Aerim was surprised to hear Xyon's words just now, then he approached Xyon glaring and said firmly, "What? There was no Silverian army above my planet's atmosphere at that time? Not likely. I always told them to take turns to keep the atmosphere! What are you talking about, Xyon?!”

Xyon then let out a short sigh, then replied, "Aerim, we really got inside your planet easily, didn't you see we were still full of energy when dealing with you?!"

Aerim shook his head, then clenched both hands while exclaiming, "Viora! That damn woman is really outrageous! I shouldn't have trusted him to send you the invitation, and this time, he messed up Keira!”

“What do you mean, Aerim? Messing Keira?” weim asked as he scrunched his forehead.

“Then, what happened to Viora? Why don't you like it?” asked Xyon again with a face that looked puzzled.

The Silverian king let out a long sigh, then replied, "He confessed to me that he was the son of a pair of Ruthenian nobles. Both of his parents were killed by the king because they were considered to be in rebellion. He then came and begged me to work with him. He will help me to exterminate all of you and in exchange, he wants me to kill the King of Ruthenia. However, I had absolutely no idea that he would have my troops go and let you into the Silverian Planet so easily! I don't know where he is right now since that cosmic energy explosion!”

“Ah, isn't it because you can no longer control dark energy that he left you?” ask Arex with a small smile.

“He must have other plans because Planet Silverian has now changed, Aerim,” Nordian reply.

Aerim suddenly smiled cynically, then replied, "Huh! Since I was never sure of him, then I only once asked him for help to pretend to be the owner of the restaurant on the beach. He even dared to ask my troops to leave, and now, I saw for myself that Higarashi seemed happy when he thought of Viora. He called the woman even when he was alone in his room!”

They instantly fell silent from shock at it, but not with Xyon. He actually became very suspicious of Aerim's words just now.

"It seems that Higarashi and Viora seem to have known each other. Where has Viora lived all this time, if you say she was the daughter of a pair of Ruthenian nobles? He could have been sentenced to death if the King knew that he had asked for your help to destabilize his kingdom" the Prime Minister of Palladina said.

"Because I once asked her to poison Keira while she was at the beach, and from there, Viora knew Higarashi. The woman had also been living together with me and Demira inside the Silverian Planet's palace" Aerim replied again.

He then let out a short sigh, then clenched his right hand and exclaimed, "I will search for Viora's whereabouts and make calculations with her. Something's wrong with that woman!”

Xyon immediately looked at the Silverian King with a sharp look in his eyes, then replied, "You mustn't be too hasty, Aerim. It may be true that Viora has other goals, but it will be even harder for you to catch her like this. We'd better wait first, to find stronger evidence and bring it to the High Court.”

“Waiting? Holy hooch! Xyons! Dovrix who also disappeared after the cosmic energy explosion, and you still ask me to wait while Higarashi has been acting strangely to Keira?” aerim exclaimed with an annoyed face.

“Dovrix?” asked Xyon in a slightly high tone.

“Yes, Dovrix. He was my father's loyal servant, and until yesterday he was still with me, before finally the burst of energy made the dark energy inside the Silverian Planet disappear entirely. I have to find the old man too, my goodness!” aerim replied while shaking his head once.

Xyon immediately frowned, muttering in his mind, “Dovrix. Turns out you're Flerix's right-hand man. I will seek you out and avenge me for the late King, Queen, and Empress of Palladina!”
