Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate



The Royal Family's Mausoleum was located a few miles away from the Capital City of Shambhala.

This building stood in a very beautiful place, surrounded by nature, and blooming flowers.

Due to how important it was to the royal family, it was heavily guarded to ensure that no grave robbers would dare to disturb the eternal rest of the members of the royal family who had passed away. 

Lux was surprised when he was invited to join them at the last minute. Currently, there were only four people visiting the Queen's Tomb, and it was none other than King Septimius, Aurora, Princess Shayna, and Lux.

It didn't take long before they arrived at their destination. Queen Bianca's tomb was made from white marble, and the words "to the Queen who loved her family till her last breath" were written on the plaque above her tomb.

Seeing this, Aurora wasn't able to stop herself from tearing up as she approached her mother's tomb to offer her prayer.

King Septimius and Princess Shayna did the same.

Lux blinked once, then twice, as he focused his eyes in front of him. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

While the members of the royal family had their eyes closed and offered their prayers, Queen Bianca's ghost hovered in front of her two daughters.

The Queen glanced at Lux before pressing her finger over her lips as if telling the Half-Elf to not say anything.

Lux obediently nodded his head and kept silent.

Queen Bianca smiled and gave the Half-Elf a brief nod before hugging her two daughters.

Naturally, they could neither see her nor feel her hug. But her face looked so happy and peaceful, that Lux felt as if his heart was being poked by a needle.

Minutes passed in silence until the members of the Royal Family opened their eyes. 

Aurora placed an offering on her mother's tomb and lit a small candle beside it.

They would hold a vigil until the flame of the candle was snuffed out; for that was the tradition of the Royal Family.

During this time, Queen Bianca sat on her own tomb and looked at her two daughters with a loving smile on her face.

Although she didn't look at the Half-Elf, her words reached his mind.

"When I saw you when I was still alive, I thought I was just dreaming," Queen Bianca said. "Seeing that you are with my daughter right now, it seems that our meeting wasn't a coincidence."

The Queen then glanced in Lux's direction with a look of approval.

"Two times. We met twice," Queen Bianca stated. "The first one was when we were in the flower field, and the second one was when I was dying. Back then, I asked you to promise me to help my daughters and help them you did. 

"Words cannot express how grateful I am to you. But still, I want to tell you this—thank you, Lux. Thank you for everything."

The Half-Elf smiled. "I only did my best. It was Fate that brought us together."

Suddenly, a mischievous smile appeared on Queen Bianca's face. 

"Since Fate had brought you and Aurora together, doesn't that mean that you and her are a match made in heaven?" Queen Bianca asked. "Tell me, did you manage to get to First Base?"

Lux almost choked on his saliva after hearing the Ghost Queen's question.

It was easy to read on his face that he didn't know how to answer her question. His awkward expression earned him a giggle from the beautiful woman who seemed to still have regrets in her life, preventing her from crossing to the other side.

While the Half-Elf was at a loss for how to reply, the Queen shook her head helplessly.

"What are you, a pansy?" Queen Bianca looked in disdain. "My daughter is so beautiful, and you still haven't made a move on her? Are you really a man?"

"I already have two fiances," Lux countered. "And yes, I am really a man."

"And?" Queen Bianca arched an eyebrow. "My husband had two other wives aside from me. I don't see any problem here. Just so you know, my daughter is a top beauty. I'm sure that after her curse is lifted, the number of men who would love to marry her would form a line circling this entire planet. Are you sure you don't want her?"

"T-This isn't something that can be rushed. I have to consider her feelings as well."

"Fine. But if you don't hurry up, my daughter will be snatched away by others. You're not the only man in this world, you know?"I think you should take a look at

Lux scratched his cheek before asking the Queen the question that was on his mind.

"Your Majesty, why are you still here?" Lux asked. "What's keeping you from crossing to the other side?"

"My daughters, of course," Queen Bianca replied. "I was so worried about them that it weighed upon my soul, preventing me from being able to enter the Cycle of Reincarnation. But now, after seeing Aurora safe from harm, I feel like the shackles that bound me have disappeared."

Lux didn't notice this earlier, but Queen Bianca's ghost had become a little more transparent, allowing him to see through her.

She then glanced at her two daughters with a sweet smile on her face. 

"Now, I can rest in peace knowing that the two of them have grown into beautiful ladies," Queen Bianca said softly. "In the past, Septimius and Shayna would visit me, but the two of them seemed to be distant from each other. Now, that distance is no longer there. 

"Aurora has returned, and I'm sure that, given enough time, the wounds in their hearts would also heal. You see Lux, when people said time will heal everything, it's not entirely true.

"Some wounds in the heart and soul would still persist as the years go by. You don't heal, but simply grow numb to them. But in my perspective, my family will be able to heal just fine. So, once again, thank you, Lux. Please, keep my daughter… or daughters happy, okay?"

Queen Bianca gave the Half-Elf a playful wink as her soul slowly rose up until she disappeared through the ceiling.

Lux could feel a lump in his throat as he closed his eyes. As a Necromancer, he could see the dead and even had the power to revive them. But seeing how peaceful Queen Bianca's face was, he felt as if it was not his place to do anything.

He then glanced at Aurora and Princess Shayna and saw how sad they were as they offered a prayer to their mother.

Because of this, Lux steeled himself and waved his hand. If there was a chance for him to help them have a happy ending, he would not stand idly and be indifferent to it. 

Outside the Mausoleum, Queen Bianca's ghost looked down at her family before looking at the heavens above her. 

A slight hesitation appeared on her face as if she was feeling conflicted.

At that exact moment, a Black Coffin appeared in front of her, and several rows of texts shone on its surface.

'Are you sure you want to cross over to the next life? Do you really have no more regrets left in this world?'

Lux had asked Blackfire to intercept Queen Bianca's soul and ask her this question. If she really wanted to rest, and go to the cycle of reincarnation then he wouldn't stop her.

But if she still wished to be together with her family, he would make it happen.

Queen Bianca didn't reply right away. Her ghost was getting more transparent with each passing second, and Blackfire knew that once she crossed a certain threshold, it wouldn't be able to do anything.

Suddenly, a tear fell on Bianca's cheeks before opening her eyes.

"I still want to be with them," Bianca said. "I want to see them grow up and get married. I want to hold my grandchildren and kiss them goodnight. I want to do a lot of things, but… it is no longer possible."

The Black Coffin's lid opened, but it didn't make a move to absorb Queen Bianca's soul.contemporary romance

'If you wish for happiness, you have to grasp it tightly with both hands. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, but rest assured, there will come a day when you will once again hold your daughters in your arms. If you are willing to take that step then come.'

Queen Bianca looked down on her family members as if she was trying to engrave their faces into her soul. A moment later, she closed her eyes and took a step forward. 

Blackfire did the rest, and soon, the Queen of Agartha was safely within its protective embrace.

'It is done, Master.'

'Thank you, Blackfire.

Lux opened his eyes and looked at the family of three who had just finished their prayer. 

For now, he would not tell them anything because similar to the soul of his Grandmaster, Hereswith, Queen Bianca's soul had also reached its limit.

It would take some time for Blackfire to nurture it until the Queen's soul had fully recovered. 

He just hoped that when that day came, Aurora, Princess Shayna, and their father would regain the smiles and the happiness that they had lost many years ago.
