CHAPTER 539 - Did you miss me? (1)

"That's an interesting title." Alver said. "Is there someone whom you'll miss?"

"Why are you asking me?" Asked Cale.

"Well, the text is mostly on your viewpoint."

"What are you suddenly talking about?"

The White Star asked Mock as he observed him.
Mock became nervous after hearing his voice but quickly responded.

"I come with some useful information."
"Information?"
"Yes, your majesty."

Smirk.

A smile appeared on the White Star's face.

"Is it information that you gathered without my knowledge?"

Flinch.

Mock's shoulders slightly shook.
He slowly raised his bowed waist and looked at the White Star.

The White Star's non-masked face and his stoic eyes were looking at him.

'So he is mostly with a mask, we must uncover his face to make the hunting easier.' Cale thought.

'...I feel this every time, but it's too different.'

Mock became tense every time he saw the White Star's face without a mask.
Of course, he had not seen it many times.

'This is the third time.'

Even Mock who had served him as his liege for a long time had only seen it three times.
It was a special moment that came every so often on a schedule. His face was only visible during those times.

"Wow, so this is like a rare event" Alver commented. "The way he said that me makes me think that his face is like a valuable item"

It just happened to be right now when he visited this time.

When he had his mask on and when he didn't...
The White Star's demeanor felt too different.

That was why Mock was daring enough to seek a Duke position but did not dare to become king.

Peek.

Mock peeked toward the tub the White Star was dipping in.

It was full of a black liquid.
The White Star looked peaceful dipping in a tub of dead mana.

"Dead mana? Is he not a human?" Cale blurted out.

-it seems like he is really like the 'White Star'

"Who is the White star you are talking about?"

-in the ancient times, there was a person who also wanted to become a God. And we, the people with powers come together to defeat him. That guy has an ancient power, the sky, it was like the god's power, he can control the sky and the elements in it. It had one requirement, the person using it must consume dead mana. We did not know exactly why, but we think that it powers the sky attribute.
