Chapter 405: Peace

The Evaniels. None of them were really expecting much from a civilization that could not even be considered to be a Type-1. The only reason they were even going there in the first place was in hopes to get a glimpse of one of the legendary Themarians— Aerith'Hel.

Only those of the Higher Races know who she truly is; even amongst the Themarians, she was special. That was why all sorts of species and races were searching for her in the first place since she disappeared all those rotations ago.

They were here for Aerith, as for the undiscovered planet, they were merely an attraction that happened to be in the same area… or so Varen thought.

When Aerith boarded their ship along with another unknown Themarian, Varen realized that the civilization in this System was not as simple as it seemed. He initially thought the weird readings on the planet was just because a Themarian was hiding there, but no— for there to be two Themarians residing in one insignificant civilization?

There… must be something special there. And there are— the Supers.

Varen, and especially Dr. Vella, were pleasantly perplexed as Aerith briefed them about the inhabitants of the planet called Earth. A species that held all sorts of different abilities, unique to each individual.

They were also told that the planet is still fresh from a devastating war that caused a billion lives, so they should be very gentle and careful on how they treat them, if not— then Aerith would have to ask them to leave.

Admiral Varen and the rest of the Evaniels that were with him listened very carefully to every word that came out of Aerith's mouth. No— even if she was just mumbling, they would still probably listen to her.

All their bodies straightened out, however, when Aerith told them of the very last thing they should take note of. If anything, her last info about the primitive species sounded more like a warning.

And so, with Aerith's voice suddenly turning serious, all of their eyes and ears focused on her final set of words—

—In the inhabitants of Earth, there is one that they should, by all costs, try not to disturb. If they could avoid him, then that would be even more ideal. Aerith did not really explain to them why, she just told them that the so-called human was a very dangerous individual.

Varen asked if that individual was going to be on the ship they were going to board, and he was. And so, Varen decided to only bring his closest aides. Dr. Vella, Commander Voris, and four of his most trusted guards.

But alas, once again— Prince Val snuck on board. Varen wanted to throw him back to their ship, but Aerith said that it should be fine to let the prince roam around as long as he doesn't do anything stupid.

But alas, not even a second after their first contact with the new civilization; not even before they exchanged their greetings, Val was already in front of the very individual that Aerith told them not to disturb.

"Za vet ek veg…

…Rali Rus?"

Riley Ross. He fully matches the description that Aerith gave them.

Long, almost jet-black hair; skin that was even whiter than the Zerahims… and always seemingly surrounded by 1 or 2 of the species' females.

"Val!" Admiral Varen tried to call for the prince; careful not to raise his voice too much in the presence of a Themarian, "Get back here this instant, that is an order!"

"It's fine, it's fine."

Val, however, only waved his hand; his eyes, slowly scanning each of the humans that were inside the control room,

"I don't get it," he then said as he turned his focus back to Riley, "They don't really look like anything special."

"I am not going to ask again, get back here," Admiral Varen once again ordered. Although he was completely infuriated with what the prince was doing, he actually agrees with his sentiments.

Most of the Higher Races would emit energy as soon as you see them; even those that were in the lower bracket at least had a twinkle of aura. But these humans, they have nothing. There was one, however, who somewhat had the same energy as Aerith— it was a woman that resembled her quite a lot.

Aerith did say she had a child with them, was it her?

These humans, what sort of secret are they hiding? Just how special are they that two Themarians chose to stay in this System? Right now, Varen was not seeing anything.

But even then, he did not let his expression sway as he just ordered his guards to restrain the prince for now, before facing the individual that is supposed to be acting as the leader of the primitive civilization.

"Madam Empris… ma name iz… Varen," he then said in the native's tongue.

"Welcome to Earth, Admiral Varen."

And although Empress was still a little nervous about the Evaniel boy that approached Riley, since everyone here was aware of the diplomacy that both sides are trying to establish, there should… be nothing drastic happening.

She, however, was now regretting including Riley. And judging by the subtle expression on Admiral Varen's face— he too was regretting the choice of bringing that boy aboard the ship, whoever he was.

"I apologize for the actions of our prince, Madam Empress."

"Hm?" Empress quickly turned her focus back on Admiral Varen, who was now suddenly talking fluently in their language.

"It's a real-time translator device," Aerith, who was standing on the side, quickly approached Empress as she handed her a small device; before gesturing to her to stick it on the side of her neck, "I used it as well the first time I landed on Earth."

"I… see," Empress then placed the comms on her neck as Aerith started handing more of the device to the other humans,

"He is your prince? You brought him here?"

"Well, more like he snuck on board."

"I see… It is good that we will be able to talk to each other clearly, Admiral Varen," Empress smiled as she looked at Varen straight in the eyes, "It would have been… dangerous for both of us if any misunderstandings arise because of the language barrier."

"..." Admiral Varen slightly squinted his eyes from Empress's words. But after a few moments, a smile also appeared on his face as he nodded, "That is true. The Queen had sent us here in hopes that we would be the first to make contact and trade with a future Geralid."

"Sadly, you are not the first to make contact with us," Empress shook her head, "...But what's a Geralid?"

"It's… how can I say it that would translate…" Admiral Varen slightly turned his eyes to Aerith, before letting out a small hum and focusing on Empress, "A humanoid with the potential to climb in the hierarchy of the universe. Most of us in the Higher Races are what you call… humanoids. And therefore, it is believed that any species resembling our biological features have the ability to—"

"I really don't see it."

"..."

Alas, Empress and Varen's conversation was slowly going smoothly… but once again, the peace was broken by the prince of Evaniels as he escaped the clutches of Varen's guards and was now once again standing in front of Riley, causing everyone to once again let out a small gasp.

"They just look like any other of the humanoids in the Lower Races."

And this time, everyone could understand what he was saying as he also placed a translator on the side of his neck, "Do you think their food will be good, though? I'm slightly starv—"

And before Val could finish his words, he slightly raised his eyebrow as one of the women standing beside Riley stepped forward. But before she could say anything, Riley blocked her with his arm.

"..." Riley then turned to look at Val straight in the eyes, before raising his hand. Varen, Aerith, and Empress all flinched as he did so; fortunately for them, they did not need to take any action as Riley was just placing the translator on his neck.

Aerith let out a short but deep breath as she saw this… not before glaring at Empress, of course. Almost as if she was asking why she would even bring the walking calamity here in the first place.

"Hello, Prince Val,"

"O… Oh?" Val slightly let out a small breath as Riley bowed his head, "So, you can speak."

"Yes," Riley nodded casually before saying, "You seem to be very interested in striking a conversation with me, Prince Val. Was there something you wanted to ask?"

"..." Everyone watched in anxiety as Riley slowly stepped closer to Val; especially Empress and the other humans. The guards were about to go and protect their prince, but commander Voris raised his hand and ordered them not to do anything.

"Not really," Val crossed his arms as he once again looked Riley straight in the eyes, "I was just wondering what makes your species so special and different from the others. Varen had always told us to be kind to those lower than us. This time, however, he told us to be careful— specifically of you… but I just don't see why."

"Your Admiral told you to be wary of me?" A small smile crawled on Riley's face as he looked at Admiral Varen and Aerith, "Then he must care for you very much."

"Right," Val let out a small scoff, "He doesn't need to, I don't think I need much protection here."

"I disagree…

…I think you do."

"!!!"
