Lucky 246
At the exact moment when the Blood Moon disappeared, almost all the people around the world celebrate. As if the whole world was coated by their screams.
Yet on the other side, people were miserable too. The countries that had strong military power fended over the monsters well but it was the opposite for the weaker countries.
Just like a decade ago, they were attacked again by the Aberrants and their growing economy stagnate or perhaps declined.
Everyone understands that the Blood Moon brought misfortune upon all of them.
.........
......
...
In the Capitolium, inside the wide hall of a private hospital, two groups of military personnel were facing each other. The war just ended but the other side wanted to take this opportunity to increase their appearance to the citizens.
General Bronal was facing the eighth representative from the Senate. They looked old and grumpy, but their eyes were shining dangerously.In this country of Dellia, the Senate was one of the groups that truly holds most of the power. Dellia might look democratic in the minds of its citizens but the higher-ups understand the real facade of government.
These people wanted to take advantage of the situation to weaken the other side and provide justice. In a way, they were doing it for themselves and for the country.
Currently, there were three powerful groups in the government.
The first was led by Esmeralda, her group mostly consist of military personnel. Making their country strong against the Aberrants and the neighboring countries.
The second was being led by the current President, it pushed the platform of having equal rights and strengthen the communication and relationship between countries.
The third was the neutral party, the Patriarch of the Francine clan was part of this group.
However, each of these parties had its motives and agenda. They always have something to say and retort the other parties.
Right now, the president's faction was trying to reprehend the military faction.
'These people. They are the culprit for why the Vice-president was late to help the terrorist attack seven months ago. If not for them, maybe the Vice-president already salvage the situation and only a few people would die.'
Indeed, the president's faction was the one responsible for why Esmeralda arrived late at the hijacking.
"General Bronal, do you know your mistake?"
The oldest Senator, Tito Sotsot, was glaring at Bronal, despite knowing that they were in a public place where the doctors and nurses were glancing at them.
"I know my mistake."
Bronal didn't even lie. He understood the consequences, he ran away from his duty and robbed a portal to go to the Port of Aoneon.
"You are supposed to keep the capital safe, to keep the city at peace!! Yet you ran away from your position!!"
One of the senators raised his voice, showing that he was the right one.
Bronal didn't flinch. He didn't regret it. His family was more important than his duty. Instead, he was looking straight at the Senators.
The Senators fidgeted, and could not look into his eyes and averted their gaze, however, they were adamant to show their strength.
Bronal was the one on whom they want to set an example.
"YOU DARED TO ACT LIKE YOU ARE RIGHT!! BECAUSE OF YOU--"
The oldest Senator could not finish the sentence. They were in the public and the current situation related to the Obice was confidential. He was mad, and it seemed that he had a reason to be mad.
"You have to understand, I'm not doing this because of any grudge..."
The old Senator shook his head. It was actually complicated.
'In the middle of the crisis, someone infiltrated the Obice and stole the Fragment of Excalibur, the endless energy that keeps the Obice from working.'
The Fragment of Excalibur was a national treasure. The fact that it was stolen was a serious matter.
'It was fortunate that we found a new Fragment... I have to thank Mark's daughter for that.'
Two years ago, Kimberly and a group of scientists found a Fragment. The Fragment was used for experimental purposes but now it seemed that its purpose was to power up the Obice.
'The Fragment is a priceless treasure, every country is going crazy just to get one, and yet--!!'
Perhaps this decision was justified.
The eighth Senators were mad that the DemiGod who should be protecting the capital ran away.
"If you were there, perhaps this will never happen!!"
The Senator's expression was awful.
"I understand that your intention is good. The act of saving the Port of Aoneon is heroic but we lost a more important card!"
The citizens over the Fragment of Excalibur. No one could speak about what was important.
"Senator, I will face any repercussion."
"Very well."
The old man nodded and sighed. This is politics, and they were politicians. But before being a politician, they were citizens of the Dellia. Of course, they prioritize their country first.
"I'll give you one hour to talk to your daughter."
"Thank you."
The soldiers on both sides didn't change their expressions.
As for Devon, who was caught in the turmoil even though he was just a mercenary, he was standing stiffly next to the group of soldiers.
'I don't know what is happening here.'
He escaped the military because of too much bloodshed, added the fact that he witness the horror of Blood Moon a decade ago, Devon was tired of this job.
However, he didn't expect that he would stand next to the General and even meet the eighth most important people in their country. He took a deep breath, he didn't know if he was fortunate or not.
Bronal walked to the aisle and reached his daughter's room, he raised his hand and realized that it was shaking. He was afraid to meet her, knowing that he had kept a big secret and important information regarding her lineage.
Still, he clutched the doorknob, only to find that his daughter was not inside.
"... You guys, what are you doing?"
Instead, he stared at Calix and Athena, the two were fidgeting, as if they were hiding a secret.
