Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

Chapter 517: Lilith - Trouble

"I swear that little shit is going to be the death of us all." Grandfather painfully moaned. Hanging his head low, I giggled.

"Please, you deserve it. Your first meeting with Arsene wasn't great, you know." I could not help but defend.

"How the hell was I supposed to know some little no-name shit, would suddenly connect to Tenebrae, as a mortal in my land under my watch? I was curious. The little bastard got lucky it was I who caught him."

Behaving like a grumpy old man, I sighed, waving toward Yu Lan, whose head remained down before the Old Celestrial King. "Since Grandpa is here, what do you think we need?"

"Actually, I am not here for the wedding shit, please. I had enough of that with my wedding." He claimed, having heard many stories regarding grandpa's wedding; it came as a surprise he would say such a thing. "You guys have a few years; I need you for a moment."

"Then say it," I uttered, glancing at Yu Lan, "She can stay. We have a bit of an agreement. She is trustworthy."

"Then I will say it. My son is determined to kill Arsene. If Arsene doesn't act fast, forget Alos, all of my territory that stretches past over the Northern cluster will be taken away. I needn't tell you how much divinity that is."

"While Alos is the center of my power, it's also secluded to many people. Even if Arsene takes over, it will not grant that much divinity as one might think."

"So? What do you suggest?" I casually asked. While it was a bit of a hassle, I never really imagined Arsene taking over Casia or Alos. Even if he got the city, it would only be temporary.

The way I see it, after the wedding, no matter what happens, we are gone. Sene and I are far too weak to be a part of this mess. Alos as a whole, it should be fine, with Father's protection, but that's about it.

I will just have a few demons and devils station here for further protection but for now, Alos is just too hot for Sene and me to live on for now.

"We have no allies on this path, so I suggest we go into hiding." Grandfather suggested. "This happened a bit too fast, and I never considered angels getting involved. Things are out of hand. Not even Arsene can plan for everything."

Running my fingers through my hair, I pursed my lips, "Leave the Angels, Devils, and Nox to us. Sene and I only ask that you handle Duke Sultan."

"Fucking Sultan. I swear that bastard is running far too wild as of late. But even I am defenseless before that bastard. While I am stronger than him, Sultan has a lot of sway outside Alos. He was my diplomat.

Covering my mouth, I burst into laughter, "Grandpa, it's Arsene. Everyone hates him. It's OK to have enemies, you know. Now get out of here and let me plan my wedding."

"But!"

"No buts! Leave. I am very busy with Arsene and this. I can't be distracted!" I declared in a fit of anger, crossing my arms.

"But!"

"Grandpa!'

Lowering his head, he sighed, "Fine. But we need a plan, OK!"

"We got this," I promised, patting his grey hair.

Blinking from my sight. my gaze slowly chilled over akin to a frozen lake as I turned to Yu Lan. "It's been a month. Has the name of every lord and lady in the city been documented?"

"They have, even the location of the Holy Swords. The Sect you and Arsene seem a bit curious about. It was, as I said before. This Sect is massive, spanning outside this planet into the vast expanse."

"Good." I whispered, "Now, has there been any news on Richter since he vanished with Nira?"

"Nothing, your grace. Aside from the letter saying he would be gone for two years, there was nothing. Not even his fiancee knows. It's like he just vanished."

Oh Drar, is this you're doing? Honestly, it's such a pathetic one. But you do have my attention. What is it you want with Arsene? You have never shown much interest in his flame, or at least you never revealed it. What could it be?

"How is the protection on the Fiance."

"Heavy." Yu Lan answered. "But if I may, aside from being Duke Sultans granddaughter, Larisa shows no importance."

"I have a theory, and I would like some precaution just in case. And unlike Sene, I don't like to toy with my food. Severing the head of the snake before it strikes is my goal."

Releasing a sigh, Yu Lan lifted her head with sad eyes, "I really envy you."

'No pouting, we still have dresses and all this other stuff that needs to be planned; I can't have a mopy bitch on my side." I jeered with a joyful grin.

"Hey! No need to be mean!" She hollered as I laughed.

"Fine, fine."

"Oh, before I forget, what do you plan on doing with Karsa? She has been staying in my palace for a time, and she is growing a bit restless."

"Why is she waiting for me? We never made any deals." I could not help say, baffled by the idea of meeting with that corrupted serpent.

"She is still eager to screw over Aiza," said Yu Lan in a helpless tone. "I hear from her every day. It's growing on my nerves."

Shaking my head, I sighed. Arsene, you bastard, you just left her to me, didn't you? Just wait till I reach home.

"I will speak to her, but on that note. Has Sultan told you anything of his plans for Arsene? I didn't tell Arsene about the suicidal men, just to give him a bit of surprise, but what else is he doing.

Noticing a judgemental glare in Yu Lan's eyes, I rolled my eyes. Please, Sene deserves it. No one knows the struggle of being with him. And it's fun watching him squirm.

"It's nothing good; it seems a crew of reinforcements are finally here from the other districts. Casia is about to be consumed in death for you two."
