Kingdom Hearts: Saving Life in Another World

Chapter 90: What is love

Vincent and the prime minister of Vollachia looked at each other, both preparing to make a move as they viewed the other as a threat.

Right as it seemed like an unorthodox battle was about to ensue, the two noticed someone approaching them. Vincent noticed this person, prompting him to lower his sword.

"Ubilk."

"Good to see you once again, your excellency." Ubilk responded in a calm tone.

"What brings you here?" The prime minister questioned, knowing that Ubilk wouldn't just interrupt their fight for no reason.

"The stars have shifted."

"..." This sentence had caused Vincent to be silent, turning his full attention to Ubilk. The prime minister looked at the stargazer with a puzzled look.

"What are you talking about?"

"Explain yourself." Vincent said as he gave an intimidating tone.

"No need to be all mad, the great disaster has been averted. At least for now."

"The great disaster...?" The prime minister said as the darkness that had been consuming him before had started to go away. Vincent was stunned by what the stargazer had said, prompting him to grab Ubilk by the throat.

"This is no time for nonsense."

"Your excellency, I'm not joking around. The stars have shown that the great disaster has been pushed back."

"Pushed back? Elaborate."

"The great disaster will still happen, it is set in stone that the four disasters will purge the world into destruction, with one of them, the witch of the kingdom, having begun. But the great disaster of the empire has been postponed. Whatever force that's arrived at the Vollachia Empire had somehow changed destiny."

Vincent took a few steps back as he crossed his arms, thinking on this new information given to him. While he was thinking, he question his stargazer:

"Was this betrayal from the prime minister and Chisha Gold part of a plan related to the great disaster?"

"Yes, though thanks to an unknown force, those plans were never able to begin."

"This force you are mentioning, is it someone wielding a key?" Vincent questioned as he had a feeling that Sora or Subaru were the force that shifted away the great disaster. Ubilk tilted his head while remaining to have an odd smile on his face.

"Someone wielding a key? That's not related to the force here."

"Then what do you know about a boy or boys with a key?"

Ubilk was silent as he processed the question he was asked. He looked up at the stars once again to see if he can learn anything related to the key.

"A boy with a key, the destined warrior chosen by chance, will be the key to our salvation...but also can lead to our destruction."

Vincent took those words to heart, seeing how important either Sora or Subaru are to them all. He turned towards the prime minister to question him on one last matter:

"Will you continue to fight against me or will you stop being a fool and help in stopping those controlling the divine generals?"

"..." The Prime minister didn't trust Vincent, feeling that even if he does help him, he'll suffer later once this was all done. Vincent knew that he was thinking this, prompting the emperor of the Vollachian Empire to tell him: "I don't have time for you to think on this choice, it's either we are allies or enemies. Choose now."
