“Prince Lausius, are you really willing to accept the title as my successor?”
Sean's eyes were stunned when Lord Shutanhamun purified him. Sean, his mind is still spinning on the events where he sees his world. A world that feels so alien, yet has awakened Sean. He realizes that Sean is Lausius.
He saw his ninety-nine brothers carrying out a difficult task. Being a knight of the battlefield, being a bodyguard and also a protector of the cloud palace of Metis. Which now leaves only the body, on display as if it were the remnants of the redemption of a work.
Sean, he's sure he's capable. Sean is very responsible, he does not want if the title of Lausius does not mean anything to him— without a devotion.
Sean's eyes glowed, since then did not dampen. Sean was sitting in a small pool. Water holds there, ice vapor appears on the surface.
Sean was sitting cross-legged, in this room maybe Sean would be baptized by the old man. Sean nodded as the question began to colonize him.
Sean ventured to advance into the most dangerous valley— even if his life would be lost.
“Grandfather. I believe you are looking forward to my presence as a warrior and protector of the people of Saranjana. I will not hesitate, I will move forward. I will receive the title of prince Lausius, your successor to the throne. Become a knight of the battlefield. I will do it for the sake of protecting all the innocent inhabitants, for the sake of mission, and for the sake of my brothers who have left their bodies.”
The old man smiled. “Your Lausius soul cannot be doubted. So I, as your grandfather. I will not allow my descendants to be destroyed without bringing about victory in this land. You are my hope, son.”
Sean nodded. “Will I do all your wishes.”
The old man felt Sean's glowing skin. Beautiful color, the birth is highly awaited. Again, Sean's skin was very clean. The chastity was almost lost, if only Sean married the serpent Goddess. It was fortunate that it did not happen, or else his blue lotus soul would be lost being absorbed by the snake god.
Lord Shutanhamun was looking forward to the body. In the room containing dozens of lifeless Lausius, Sean began to be bathed in water.
Sean didn't know what water was, but it felt very fresh when it washed all of his skin. Sean was sure that all the men in the crystal coffin were just like him. At baptism, before becoming a formidable knight.
“What happened to you son after receiving this blessed water from the sky?”
Sean looked at himself. “I feel ..., oh. Wait!”
Sean raised his hand. His body began to feel something different from before.
“Say, how do you feel?” ask the old man. He seemed impatient to know what happened to Sean. The change, obviously the old man was looking forward to it.
“My bones, my jaw, my stomach. Everything feels hard. My muscles tightened, my nose also felt smaller. I don't know why. Plus the energy in my body, I feel that I really feel it. Significant difference.”
The old man smiled kindly, a small sigh, followed by his hand gently massaging the feathers on his chin.
“That is to say, the soul of Lausius was already deeply fused with the power of the serpent god and the calm bringing of light. You're really capable of getting this chance.”
Sean looked at his body again. Once again, Sean was completely amazed at his new body. Sean's glowing body, it felt lighter than ever.
“Does after this, I have to stay like this only. Or ...”.
“There are other tasks awaiting you,” Lord Shutanhamun said. “This is just the beginning. After that, you will find a bigger obstacle.”
“Semical ...”
“Killing king Mossarus.”
Ow. Sean understands. “So, when can I get that chance?” sean asked to know.
“Secapnya.”
“That means, I'll take this mission soon?” guess Sean.
The old man nodded. “Difficult mission, you will get it soon.”
“Good. Whatever it is, whether it's hard or not. I'll accept all these missions.”
Sean smiled brightly, once again Sean watched himself continuously. Without a doubt, now Sean's body is muscular and dashing. Rather than his former self before becoming Lausius, Sean was fairly weak.
“My body is getting bolder, is this lasting long enough?” ask Sean.
“Of course,” reply Lord Shutanhamun. “Every Lausius will have a perfectly gallant body shape. And a charming face, that's why, besides Lausius was hunted to be an offering for eternal power. Lausius also as a force extends life, improving the look. You must know the nature of Lausius.”
“Does that mean, this brave body will not change even if I never do by raga?”
The old man nodded. “Eternal body shape. You have it now.”
Oh, how happy Sean is. The grace he received at this moment made him feel different from before.
Many times Sean looked at his lighted body, not bored to continue to be noticed.
“Another moment is your coronation as Lausius. Knights of the Battlefield. Today you will be announced as the new ruler of the cloud palace of Metis. You will be a ruler that will be known by everyone.”
Lord Shutanhamun told. Sean, who was watching himself, stopped to do the act. Sean turned his head, watching the old man's back.
“Do that mean, I ...”
“You will be ready with your new responsibilities,” Lord Shutanhamun explained.
“But what if I can't do it?” sean asked doubtfully.
He came out of the small pool, grabbed his clothes. Then, stand right next to the old man.
“Killing Mossarus is the main thing. Next, you will get a chance to kill the sand demon. That is the test of every Lausius. However, not all Lausius was able to do so. Because, usually they die before reaching their destination.”
“Is Elius and the devil of hell included?” Sean attributed Lord Shutanhamun's words to the two people who crossed his mind.
The old man nodded. “You must not forget Zumirh and Zurry. They were also one of Lausius' pursuers. You should know, they are not enemies that can be completed in one attack. They have great power, which is not owned by Lausius.”
Now Sean understands, the boy is growing up responding to every story Shutanhamun. Sean walked towards the golden Phoenix carving. He noticed the carving of the bird, but his mind was still carried over to Zurry, Zumirh, and the others.
“Don't rush son. You still have plenty of opportunities,” Lord Shutanhamun reminded. “Right now, you will be the new leader in this Metis cloud palace. You have to be ready for all this.
“I'll do it grandpa.”
Sean nodded in understanding. He's ready for everything he's going to do now.
††††
The townspeople have come. They came at Lord Shutanhamun's behest. Now, the many arrivals of the residents crowded the palace hall on this cloud.
Edward, Jessica and Yudhar stand between the throne seats of Lord Shutanhamun.
From the outside door, Sean comes accompanied by Lord Shutanhamun. He looks handsome in his cyborg clothes.
Everyone was stunned, including the three boys.
“Gosh. Why Sean looks so handsome!” praise Jessica girang.
His face was blushing, he liked the new Sean. With all these details, almost Jessica did not know who the child who walked towards the great throne. If not carefully his eyes examine and recognize Sean.
Edward elbowed Jessica. “Stop your evil eye Jessica. Realize, Sean won't be watching us anymore!” reminded.
Jessica shrugged her shoulders. “Know what you are about Sean,” he said.
“You are ...”
“Hey, stop fighting,” says Yudhar mediates. “This is an important moment. Why are you guys still acting like kids?”
“He started it,” said Jessica bestowed a mistake on Edward.
Edward denied. “You praised Sean. You should have realized, you're a nobody Sean right now!”
“Already, already. Stop the. You guys, why fuss about Sean being solemn. If you keep arguing, then the guards will drive you out of this place!”
Yudhar mediates again, Jessica and Edward throw views of hate. A moment later, Jessica snorted furiously, then turned her face away. Edward came along, he turned his face away from Jessica's attention. Both are acting tough.
Jessica was silent, and so was Edward. The boy was silent, no longer saying. They'd rather focus on Sean.
Sean climbed the three steps. There, Lord Shutanhamun's old mouth began to say.
“Today, I gathered a portion of the city's population. I want to tell you that the successor of this cloud palace of Metis has come. You have been waiting with me. Today, all these miracles come. The city of Saranjana will be blessed with the presence of prince Lausius.”
Everyone is stunned. There were whispering to each other, watching the leader of the region who was saying.
Before long, Lord Shutanhamun then takes a cyborg suit for Sean. The crypto that held it, Lausius's oversized shirt was in a tray. Very neat, with caution Crypto is holding it. Lord Shutanhamun put the armor on Sean, he looked charming in the eyes of the people who were staring at him.
“This is a blessing of the sky, we have a protector. And so, today, the leader of this land of prosperity I leave it to Prince Lausius, the last son of Edna.”
Lord Shutanhamun draped a cyborg suit for Sean. All who witnessed Sean's appointment as Lausius, cheered. Sean fits in with his new outfit.
Perfect and charming manly body, now is no longer Sean as before. He is indeed fit to be a prince in a fairyland, including Jessica who secretly admires him.
Driyad, he also felt Sean's aura. Aura that is able to make people speechless, amazed by its face.
“Prince, he fits perfectly with his new character. I hope he becomes a truly great prince of Lausius. I miss that prince figure.”
“Are you whispering to me?” lirih Amuria's. Driyad smiled sweet-ass. He had averted Amuria's gaze from Sean's charming face.
“Sorry, I'm just too excited. At this time, we are again starting the prince to carry out his mission.”
“You don't need to remind me of Driyad,” back Amuria through Driyad. “You think I forgot on our duty.”
“I don't think you remember it at all,” Driyad replied chuckling. Scratching his head, it had become a habit of Driyad when he was misbehaving.
“Forget. Prince is talking, you don't mess up.”
Amuria was silent, and so was Driyad. They are now focusing on Sean who is being raised as a prince.
Sean was feeling a bit nervous, but .., yes Sean accepted it. Everyone has seen him as a prince here. Sean is already the ruler, Lord Shutanhamun's successor.
From the outside, the palace doors were wide open. There were warriors who came in haste, walking in hunting. In front of Sean, he fell.
“What's up? Why are you so panicked?” asked Sean curiously.
“Prince. Outside ...,” point.
“What's outside?”
“Nekabudzer and Elius. They ..., they attacked the guards!”
“What?”
“It's too late prince!”
Sean was furious, he wanted to get out when he found this news. However, Sean had not stepped out of his place. A pair of Nekabudzer and Elius wings have now entered the palace.
That flapping of wings scared all eyes, except for Sean and the one with great power.
“You ...”
