CHAPTER 111: STORY OF MICHAEL ELDRITCH

MICHAEL ELDRITCH

ORIGIN

Being the only son of the Emperor of Elysia is nothing but a curse to me. As royal blood, the concept of freedom does not mean anything in my dictionary. I have never been free in my life.

My father; the late Emperor Eldritch is a tyrant in disguise. He controls everything under the table, and his ways violate most rights. He is a corrupt selfish man. He gave the orders to assassinate any person who opposes his ways. Only the heroes of war, such as Kirina Pendragon and her dragonoid Lothar, knows what happened behind the scenes.

Just like how he treated his subjects, he treated me as his disposable property, like a pet. My father harbors hate for me for the sole reason that my mother died the very same moment I was born, so all the hatred in this world was caught by the poor me. I was strictly trained to become a ruler just like him, so I am not to be blamed entirely for what I have become.

The idea of world domination was the one my father gave me. He is scheming, always scheming for ways to defeat the armies of Alterra, Sargus, and Fleija. We may have signed years of treaties between these countries, but we are also preparing ourselves to betray them once our weapons are ready.

One of the particular world-domination plans of my father is about the research of the Dragon Goddess: Exceria. My father knew that this legend predates the history of the grand sorceress Vesryn, and he knew that this lost goddess might be the key to uniting the whole world. Because of this hypothesis, my father assembled a team of historians all over Elysia, and one of these lucky men is Professor Wingate: Xenon’s father.

I first saw my best friend when we were four years old. Whenever Professor Wingate reports to my emperor's father, Xenon would tag along. It did not surprise me that we became the best of friends since we always play whenever our fathers are busy with their jobs.

One time, I tagged along with Xenon and his father towards a historic site; an isolated island at the far west of Elysian Ocean. The island is called Cherry Island where all the sakura trees bloom. My father agreed for me to tag along with my friend since he trusts Professor Wingate, or maybe he does not give any shit to me at all.

The Cherry Island is the home of ancient ruins that looked like cathedrals full of ancient texts. Professor Wingate studied the scriptures as we children play and goof around.

However, when Xenon and I were busy playing hide-and-seek in the ruins, we discovered an ancient gate. We opened it and ventured inside, and finally discovered the key person in all of these messes.

Sakuradrop.

She is so beautiful. Long silky-smooth black hair, snow-white skin, adorable teenager face, and a cute pink lotus dress was all apples to my eyes. I fell in love with her the first time we met. She’s caring like a wonderful sister, and she is the only person who gave me the feeling of having a mother.

When Professor Wingate saw this dragonoid, we immediately departed and reported to my father. While Professor Wingate’s research about the lost goddess ended up a failure, my father focused on harnessing Sakuradrop’s power. He was amazed when Sakuradrop displayed the power of the Eye of Deus on his audience; using such eyes to activate the Vesryn Pulse without the need of having a dragon knight.

Sakuradrop also displayed her powers to become the legendary and ancient Orochi Dragon using eight different hearts. Being the weapon of mass destruction, my father emperor made every information about her confidential. She is our secret key and our first step in Elysia’s goal of world domination.
