Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

"He's gone…"

"He's strong."

"The two of them actually look good together, no? What will my little Claudy do now?"

"Haaa… I knew he was special, but not this much."

The emperor and empresses sighed in unison as Eon left the room. There were diverse expressions on their faces.

Empress Madeline had cried for real, and others had quite difficulties calming her down.

She was still not fine, but she wasn't crying anymore. And their talk about the young boy was serious.

There were no smiles on their faces like from moments ago, but only sadness, interest, and calmness.

They talked and analyzed the boy with their different point of view about him.

They even took the food they just had into account. A unique food that recovered their stamina, energy, and Mana.

It was amazing and if it meant it was made by his late master, then it meant he was able to eat things like them every day.

He was lost when he was six years old, so saying that he ate things like them for at least five years was envious, but still amazing.

And that master of his…

"The headmaster didn't just call dibs on him for nothing, alright." the emperor wasn't smiling, but there was a dark smirk on his face.

He was thinking about the young child that just walked out of this room as he had caught his attention, as no other man had done in the last decade.

"He's strong, hardworking, talented, had survival experience, teachings from an unknown 'sadhu' and he even has many unique resources to sell in the auction. He is quite something…"

He sighed again after saying that and shook his head.

His eyes had greed in them, but the boy had chosen a different path, and someone better than him already had his eyes on the young boy.

Still, as someone ruling over countless people of the greatest nation of the continent, he knew one thing: the working of causality.

A person's very own strength invites challenges, challenges lead to conflicts, and conflicts give birth to catastrophes.

The wisdom and strengths he holds will never go unnoticed by those who lust after that world-changing knowledge and strength.

He will inevitably become the center of this world at one point in time, he will become a leading figure that writes the first chapters of the new era of this world and writes great epics, and heroic stories.

He will see falls and rise after seeing the bottoms he had never touched.

He is smart, so his some of the greatest wars will be with his own self over the decisions he will have to make and the sacrifices he will have to accept.

His future is bright but, his decisions, and his actions, will either be the cause of the end of this world or a blessing that will evolve the world from its core.

Their empire will also have to make many decisions. And as the emperor and ruler of this nation, it was in his hands what he does.

He had dined with a monster today, he knew that much.

A monster who was young and still had every single top-class guard in that room in check all this time he was sitting here.

His eyes were always moving, seeing, reading, and keeping every single movement in this giant room in check.

He had unbelievable eyes and vision. And still, he managed to dine with such finesse that even a ruler like him would be put to shame.

His heartbeat was calm in all situations. It didn't even change while suddenly facing empress Madeline's sudden pressure as if he was expecting it from the moment he walked in through those doors.

He was a terrifying person with unknown depths, a kind that he personally didn't like. But still, he didn't want to make this person an enemy as much as possible.

But if his actions become harmful to the stability of this empire that was like a child to him… well, he hoped times didn't take that turn.

He was an important aspect of the growth of this empire, so he hoped he would make rational decisions. And the emperor knew this boy was good enough to make the best decisions in the worst situations.

There was only one thing, one variable, that could lead to dangerous situations. And that was his family.

The little fellow was a reincarnation, that much was easy for the four people to know. Maybe his past played a big role, but the affection he had towards his family, and his own people, was more than his care for this world.

He had known that much from the things that happened today. And he had seen his love, too.

His love for an old, close to a crazy person. But still, a love so pure… when he saw them look at each other in the eyes, he felt like not only they were made for each other, they attracted each other so much that even the bounds of this world couldn't keep them away from each other till the appropriate moment.

It was peculiar, but what the two of them had right now was something countless romantics search for their entire lives.

There was no way someone else deserved them better than them. Not even his own son, who was long attracted by the natural attraction of her bewitching beauty.

She was a miserable girl, he knew better than many as he had seen her during the days she used to slaughter entire battlefields in grief.

And he was young back then, just a young prince looking over his assigned part of the battlefield.

He knew just how hopeless, and miserable that girl was… but when he looked at her today, that same bloodthirsty witch that people feared to even mention in certain parts of the world, smile so warmly that no flower field in a warm spring valley could compare to, he knew it too.

That young boy was amazing to cast such a fatal spell on her, and even as the emperor who ruled a part of the world, he did not know how such a thing could be possible.

But he made it possible. He was with her. They were with each other. And they looked enviously attractive together.

They were going to attract many other people to them, but he knew that the two of them were already bound together with something far stronger than the strings of mere fate.

It was them… and there was a ball dance before them.

"Will Claud cause some trouble?" Empress Vera asked as she hugged one hand of empress Madeline.

"He's a smart boy, but I still think he will definitely cause some trouble.

It's fine though. He should learn the taste of defeat, fall, and weakness. He needs it and it will help in his growth."

Emperor's answer was stern, and empress Vera puffed her cheeks after hearing it.

"My baby is young~! How can you say that? Hump!"

Nah, he was the same age as Eon. He would be considered a teen, if anything, so she was just joking. And her smirk confirmed that.

"But it's fine if he learns new things and grows strong. And even finer if he cries in my lap~!"

She was weird. Just like a certain lady that Eon knew very well.

"Oh, right! You're always welcome to come and rest in my lap if you want to. Even now…"

She wasn't just looking at the emperor, but at all three of them. And the other two ladies had blush on their faces. Empress Aina's ears were even fluttering, indicating she was 'excited'.

And it was time anyway, so…

"Shall we go, ladies?" Emperor August politely asked as he stood up from his chair. And the three ladies stood up with smiles, too. It was already nighttime and their bath time.

It would be bedtime after that and many things in between those two so, it was the end of the wonderful day for them, but for the two young people… the night was still young.

***

Hiraani's first floor, which had now turned into a fine open hall, was filled with people of great importance.

Most of the aristocrats of the great empire and their young children were here, and the natural socializing was ongoing, just like any usual important gathering.

Slow music was playing on one aisle while on the other side, there were tables full of food of diverse variety.

Sweets were among them and one gorgeous girl with little pointy ears in a beautiful blue dress was standing beside a fountain of chocolate, admiring the unique chocolates for today's special gathering…

"Delicious…"

She was enjoying the fountain of chocolate and the other chocolate sweets around it all by herself, and though many young boys in the distance wanted to greet her, or were forced to go greet her, couldn't go anywhere near her because of the usual uneasiness they felt while approaching her.

So, they were afraid, and she was freely eating her food. Something similar was happening with a young boy sitting some distance away near the gate.

He looked handsome and attracted many young girls, but these noble ladies couldn't go near him even if they wanted to. The weird uneasiness forced their steps to turn back as if telling them they weren't qualified.

There were a few groups already gathered around some important people and they were introducing their young children to other nobles and their children.

One boy with a pale face and weak-looking constitution was eating by himself and no one was approaching him even while knowing his status. And he was happy with that.

This was an important event for the nobles and they wanted to make connections with the auction master at any cost, so using their own children for things wasn't anything new to these aristocrats.

They were waiting for the auction master and her family to enter, as well as the rumored amazing boy.

Making connections with the other two geniuses of their house would be fine, too. It would be better that way, actually.

They knew little about them anyway, knowing that they would make public appearances was a big thing in itself.

So they all were waiting like little puppies waiting for their food. And these 'cute' puppies didn't have to wait for long.

[ "ATTENTION! The auction master, countess Nolen Heliox Kromet, viscount Brian Heliox Kromet, Lady Augustine Heliox Alga, Master Elkan Heliox Ethan Griffin, viscount Theophilus Bell, Lady Hazel Bell, young lady Carla Heliox, and young master Alfred Bell are entering!" ]

There was no mention of lady Nolen's son, but it was fine. They weren't here for that person, but the auction master, anyway.

They wanted to socialize and make connections… of course, the wish to glance over their divine figures was always there.

Be it, males or females, they were here to also take a look at the gorgeous people of the mysterious family, and even if they fail to even go near them, watching them from afar was definitely worth it.

They made the place fall silent as soon as they entered, anyway. And this time was the same…
