Golden red hair, blood red eyes, fox tail and ears.
A little girl with those features was waiting for me in the office.
“... Surprise, Father.”
Okay, I'm dead.
Fortunately, my nightmare did not last long.
“... Raven, why are you dressed like that?” I pressed the goosebumps on my back and forced a smile.
“... You don't like my surprise?” Raven asked disappointedly.
I didn't know I had to laugh or cry seeing it that way.
Suppressing the urge to wipe my face, I let out a tired sigh. “Is that the surprise you prepared? Why do you think I'll like it? ”
Raven wore a child-like heartbroken expression that was caught when she made a mistake. “I saw it in your memory.He appeared many times in it, and it seems like you really want to see it, so I thought I could disguise like him to make you feel better.”
I looked away.
Okay, I admit she pops into my mind at least once a day, and it's true I want to meet her. But…
Yes, seeing it is a bad idea …
I have to become about a thousand times stronger if I want to start considering the possibility of meeting him again.
Fortunately, I sealed it using a very powerful technique the last time we met. He is a very lazy child, so it might take several thousand years to escape from his seal.
However, for now, I need to have a very serious conversation with Raven.
"Raven, you gotta stop peeking at my mind, I don't like it." I furrowed my eyebrows.
"… Are you angry?" raven said sadly.
“…”
Raven lowered her head sadly. “... Sorry, I was wrong. But. I can't help it. Even I know that reading your memories is wrong, but every time I fall asleep, your memories play out in my dreams as a movie.
I furrowed my eyebrows. “Is that?”
“Ya... I feel guilty about it, so I decided to disguise like the girl in your dream to make you feel better..
How strange, was Raven's innate talent so powerful?
Even if I am not wary of his (gift) talent, Raven's strength means that his talent is powerless against my soul. Even other immortal beings cannot read my mind even if our souls are connected.
It was different from when we signed the contract. Back then, my soul proactively interacted with hers, so it was normal that some of my memories flowed into her soul. But after I found out about it, I made sure not to leave my memories flowing through our bonds.
Even so, Raven could still peer into my memories.
"Raven, can I check something?" I asked gently. Raven placed her head on my chest and nodded.
Gently, I sent a strand of my soul into Raven's soul. Our souls share a bond, so Raven's soul doesn't reject me. I then proceed to examine Raven's soul to find what went wrong.
However, no matter how much I searched, everything seemed to be fine.
Other than the uniqueness of Raven's soul, everything about her was normal. However, I was sure that Raven's uniqueness wasn't enough to peer into my mind without my permission.
"… Did you find anything?" Raven asked nervously.
I smiled to ease it. "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with you."
"… really?"
"Of course." Clapping his head, I kissed Raven's forehead and calmed her down.
Something's wrong with Raven, I'm sure. But there's no need to worry him.
I don't know where the problem is, but if it can escape my detection, then it's very dangerous.
For now, I can only fend off my memories while I find the answer to Raven's situation.
Normally, it was difficult for one of their kind to appear in ten thousand years, but now, three of them appeared in the same generation.
I don't even deserve to be treated like that.
Could this world be facing a terrible disaster?
I don't know why, I'm strangely starting to feel nervous.
…
The beastkin alliance capital.
A group of guards walked inside the newly built palace while carrying a paralyzed man.
Surprisingly, all the guards had expressions of fear. Some of them shivered nervously and gulped in fear as they walked towards the palace hall.
But not only the guards looked frightened, but also the servants around him and the tribal envoys who came to congratulate the new ruler. No one could hide the fear and terror they felt towards the new beastkin ruler.
When the guards arrived at the main hall, they stopped and bowed respectfully and fearfully.
"Your Majesty, we're going to the place you showed me."
"Oh?" Sweet and beautiful voice replied from behind the curtain. “I felt a spatial distortion a few days ago. What did you find?”
"yes. We just found this lame human lying on the ground.”
The girl behind the curtain furrowed her brows. "Bring him here."
"Understand, Your Majesty."
Two guards then carried the paralyzed man forward.
But when the girl saw the paralyzed man, her body trembled.
In the next instant, a terrifying pressure filled the palace.
"Dad!"
*swoosh*
the girl disappeared and reappeared next to the man. He then grabbed his head violently and used his soul to attack him.
"Ha ha ha ha! Yes I'm sure! It's dad! Only fathers use souls like this!!” The girl smiled excitedly. "Come, give me your memories!"
But in the next second, the man's soul was shattered.
"NO!!!" The girl shouted in anger. His overwhelming power exploded outward, smashing all the guards into pieces. "Why why!!!?"
For an entire minute, no one in the palace dared to make a move. They could feel the anger of their ruler that threatened to destroy everything.
But after a minute, the girl calmed down.
“That's no problem. With his mastery of the paternal soul, trying to find information about him from the memories of his victims was a nightmare. However, I have a clue now. ”
Then, he raised his voice.
"Someone, listen to my orders!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" An old man came running and bowed in fear.
“How is the war preparation!?” the girl said.
“K-We need a little more time.. Two months.” Said the old man.
The girl's expression darkened. “You have one month before I kill you all! By the way, I already know who will be our first target.”.
"Who?" The old man asked in wonder.
“Man. We will remove all human kingdoms from the map!”
