Chapter 31: The Reaping

Chapter 31

The Reaping

Aldrin Eclaire’s eyes widened in surprise and tears began to fall on them as he saw the small sealed box that Siva presented him.

His old hands caressed the edges and details of the box while recalling the days of his lively youth when he first saw its contents.

“Open it.” He told Siva and raised the box. “Open it so we can be free of this curse.”

Though in doubts and while Andrea pursed her lips and nodded at Siva’s probing glance, Siva pulled the simple lock and was surprised to its contents.

“What the F….” His eyes were full of anger. Full of disappointment. Full of discontent. Full of what could only be spoken in his mouth as, “I can‘t believe I came all this way just to get a copy of Clemente‘s Demise.”

“Wait,” Volt called out to the old man. “I really can‘t understand this situation…”

But the old man had a smile on his lips, shook his head and said, “Open the book and you‘ll see it.”

Siva did not wait for any more time and opened it. And just as his instincts told him, as he flipped every page, there was no difference from the copy the library had and the one in his hands.

“I don‘t understand…” He said anxiously.

At that, Andrea explained. “Find the Providence.”

“What is the Providence?!” Siva was now irritated.

“The Providence is a weapon.” At those words, Siva was dumbstruck. Watching Andrea’s expression the old man put a hand on her palm on his shoulders and kept on in her explanation. “My family‘s secret, this novel, it had all the answers to the wrong history written in the Book of Legends.”

TING!

At that moment, as soon as her sentence ended, in their visions, a shocking notification popped up. And upon reading it, Siva could only smile as he had in his hands the first step on the river of lava he was in.

[H-Class Information Acquired!]

“The Founding of an Empire”

Long ago, there was the Legendary Hero, Clemente, who had so many achievements, including the founding of The Empire of Tiara. 

Rumors of his dark ambitions were scattered and the link on his mysterious death had been shrouded in darkness. But throughout the history, there was one clan who held the secret on these rumors and now, that secret is ready to be revealed in the world.

“Find the Providence.” The old man snapped Siva’s attention back to his feet from his mind. “This message was left to me by my father and was left to him by his father, that was left to him by his father and the father before him…”

“But when grandfather joined the military, and father died before he even held that secret, I feared that the secret will be lost forever so I hid the clues in this box and hoped that some day, people would finally find the keys to unlock this quest.”

“Quest?” Siva’s brows curled in confusion.

Andrea Eclaire looked at him and nodded. “Yes. The Providence is a weapon. That‘s all I know. The secret lies in this book.” And Andrea pushed the old book on Siva’s hands on his chest.
