Claude and Anas' brother tried to resist the attack from Aeternitas.
"Diana?! What are you doing here?!" asked Claude who was surprised by my arrival.
"Of course to handle the key to this problem."
"Go! Me and Anastasius can handle it."
Aeternitas immediately launched his attack on me, but Claude quickly confronted him.
"Fight me fool!" said Claude.
"Hahaha stupid? Hey you're my descendant, if you say I'm stupid then you're stupid too?"
"Don't let me be your descendant. Who made his offspring his vessel of strength? You're the only one doing that shit!"
"Aeternity, your opponent is me!" my screams distract.
"I'm no longer interested in you, queen. Fighting Claude is more fun," he replied.
But as he was bragging, Anas' brother restrained Aeternitas' body. "Hurry and attack him, Claude!"
Claude, who wanted to attack Aeternitas, I immediately held back. "Wait, don't kill him. Just shut it down."
"But Di—"
"Follow my words." Claude followed my words, he crippled Aeternitas with his magic.
Aeternitas was unable to move, he continued thrashing and shouting. "Let go of me you despicable creature!"
Felix who was angry with Aeternitas' words was about to attack him.
"Calm down, Felix" I said, arresting Felix.
"But he's been insolent to his majesty."
"Don't listen to him. Now you, Claude, and Brother Anas stay away. Put on protective magic!" my orders.
"Okay, your highness the empress." Felix installed protective magic around Claude and Anas' brother. I walked closer to Aeternitas who was thrashing.
"What are you doing, Diana?!" shouted Claude.
"Depend on me. I'm gonna finish this all." I knelt before Aeternitas and touched his forehead with my forehead.
"Don't touch me, lady j*****!" shouted Aeternitas but immediately appeared a white light that was so bright that it dazzled the eyes of everyone who saw it.
***POV AUTHOR***
As the white light disappeared, Diana and Zenith fainted. Claude, Anastasius, and Felix immediately approached them. Felix was surprised when he examined the two of them. He felt dejavu with this incident.
"What's up, Felix?! What are they both doing?" anastasius asked in panic.
"Your highness, the souls of Miss Zenith and her noble consort are absent" Felix replied.
Claude instantly pulled Felix's shirt collar. "DON'T KIDDING!"
"I'm not kidding, your honor. It's like that time, where there's only an empty body with no contents."
Deg. Claude's feelings shattered instantly. He felt a void like that back then and somehow his Diana would return.
With a crowd, everyone from the evacuation site came to approach them. Everyone started whispering to see Empress Obelia and her niece faint. They also whispered about this extremely gripping state.
Amidst the commotion, Athanasia, Lily, Lucas, and Erez broke through the crowd.
They were shocked by what they saw now.
"I beg you not to anymore" muttered Lily.
I hope it's not what I thought it was. Lucas said in his heart.
Lucas quickly approached Diana and examined her. He who did not believe in this all checked Zenith as well but the result was the same. Their bodies are empty. There is no soul in it.
"It's happening again" Lucas said weakly.
Athanasia approached her father and asked, "What happened to her mother and Zenith, father?"
Claude did not answer.
"Dad, replied Athy!" shouted Athanasia.
Among the crowd, there was the young master Alpheus who witnessed the grief of the girl he loved.
The young master Alpheus ran over to Athanasia and hugged her. "Your noble consort and Miss Zenith must be fine, princess."
"No. I have to listen directly from my father's mouth" Athanasia said, rebelling. "ANSWER DAD!" Athanasia.
"It happened again, Athanasia!" claude replied in a high tone.
Athanasia was shocked to hear that. No, not because of Claude's high tone but because of the answer given by his father. "Dad lied, right?"
"Dad also hoped that this was all a lie" Claude replied frustratedly.
Athanasia detached herself from Ijekiel and ran towards her mother. He asked Lucas the same thing. "Lucas, mom's fine, right? What my father said must be a lie."
"Excuse me princess but what your majesty says is the truth. Right now the noble bodies of the empress and miss Zenith are empty. I don't know where their souls go. What is certain is that their souls are lost along with the black magic" Lucas explained.
Destroyed was Athanasia's defense. She immediately cried out loud beside Diana while clasping Diana's hand. Athanasian cries to make anyone who hears it feel sick.
"This must be because mom healed the wound, Athy. Athy told you not to do that, mom!" said annoyed. But her mother kept silent and did not answer.
Felix hugged Athanasia and hoped that this would calm his daughter down. Lily also hugged her beloved princess. Erez was also silent. He doesn't know what to do now. Because this is beyond his estimate. Diana's body was still there even though her soul was not there.
Penelope who had just come was shocked to see the state of her daughter lying weak beside Diana. He immediately ran away and hugged his daughter. "Zenith, wake up, baby. Mom's here."
Anastasius approached his wife and daughter.
"Zenith is asleep, baby" he said.
"Zenith really only sleeps?" ask Penelope.
Anastasius lied to his wife. He could not bear to see his wife suffer if he knew the truth. After all he believed that Zenith would return like Diana back then.
I'm sure they'll both be back. Anastasius in the heart.
Since Erez had already said that the black magic had disappeared, everything returned to its place. The nobles returned to his residence and the servants returned to work in the palace.
Diana and Zenith were placed in a special room so that they could rest in peace. Every day there was always a waiter who cleaned the room and changed the flowers in the vase. Every day there are also people who take turns to visit the two of them.
***POV SAID***
Where'sme? Why are all the places only white? I try to walk and find out where I am now.
Up ahead I see someone. I immediately went there and it turned out that someone was Aeternitas and an old man who seemed to be his father. I tried to listen to their conversation from afar.
"Pardon me, Aeternitas" said one man in a regretful tone.
"Why are you apologizing?"
"Because I'm weak, so I can't convince Mr. Lucas to accept you as his disciple."
"Dad is not wrong. It was all because Lucas was an arrogant person. Therefore Aeternitas will take revenge on him but somehow Aeternitas stuck here. Do you know how to get out of here?"
"Son, there's no need for revenge. You've been great by being the strongest emperor of the 25th century without anyone's help."
"Aeternity is not satisfied that the arrogant has not felt the pain that Aeternitas feels," said Aeternitas full of revenge.
"Dad never taught you to take revenge on someone, son."
"But a—"
"Let go of all that filth in your heart. You won't be born again if you keep having a dirty heart."
Aeternitas was silent at his father's words.
"The best revenge is to be better than before and you manage to do it. You're getting a lot better."
"Aeternity is no better than ever, father."
"What do you mean, son?"
"A lot of chaos is caused by Aeternitas."
"That's why I called you here. Finish the mess you made and go home."
"But there's too much chaos that Aeternitas has created."
"Someone will be ready to help you."
"Who?"
"Come out, noble consort."
I was shocked when her father Aeternitas called me.
"Your highness empress?" aeternitas asked in surprise. He looked back and looked at me in surprise.
"Blessings and glory upon the sun empire obelia. I salute the empress of Obelia" said the man.
I helped him wake up. "Don't say hello. You are even higher than me."
"But that's in the past."
"So what's up? I overheard your conversation a little."
"Little? You sure?" ask Aeternitas don't believe it.
I scratched my non-itchy nape. "I actually heard all of your conversations."
"I thought so."
"I'm sorry" I said sorry.
"It's okay, your highness the empress. In fact it's good because I don't have to explain it in any more detail to you and get straight to the point."
"So what kind of chaos has Aeternitas done?" my many.
"The real mess that's the hardest to solve is your nephew, your highness the empress."
"Zenith?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Why Zenith?"
"Miss Zenith was currently unconscious because her soul was wandering. You and Aeternitas must return Miss Zenith's soul to her body as soon as possible. If the soul gets further away, it will be more difficult to return it" he explained.
"But where did Zenith's soul wander? There's only a white room here."
"Follow the red thread, your highness the empress."
"Red yarn? Not a—" Instantly a red thread appeared near me.
"That red thread will take you to where Miss Zenith's soul is."
"What about you?"
"I'll wait here until Aeternitas gets it all done."
"Wait for me, dad."
"Solve it all, Aeternitas."
"Sure!" Aeternitas.
Me and Aeternitas went along with the red thread.
