Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate



Aur had invited Valerie to have tea with him because he knew that the Dragon Princess was feeling very anxious.

As much as he didn't want to admit it, he too was feeling quite anxious, and he had been unable to sleep for the past few days due to worry.

Seeing the dark circles on the plain-looking girl's face, he knew that he wasn't alone in his suffering.

"Aur, do you think that Sir Lux will come?" Valerie asked. 

She already knew the answer to this question, and yet, she still asked it, hoping that Aur would give her a different answer to ease her worries.

"He will come," Aur replied. "We both know this already. The only question is what will happen after he makes his appearance in the Divine Empire."

Valerie's hands, which were holding a teacup, trembled. She lightly bit her lip before putting her cup on top of the table and lowering her head.

Ali and Ari wanted to give Valerie a hug, but they decided to hold their ground. They knew that their Mistress was suffering, but they also understood that they couldn't treat Valerie like a child forever.contemporary romance

She needed to mature and cope with the unfairness of the world. Perhaps, this same reason was why the Dragon King had allowed Valerie to come with him to the Divine Empire.

Piccoro, who was there to serve as Aur's bodyguard, sighed in his heart. Although he had a few grudges with Lux, he didn't want the Half-Elf to be captured, or worse, killed by the Divine Army.

He had fought side by side with Lux in the Abyss, and witnessing his death first hand would definitely leave a bitter aftertaste in his mouth. 

A silence fell in the balcony because Aur and Valerie didn't want to continue the discussion. They knew that no matter how much they tried to sugarcoat their words, Gaap would definitely die in two days, and there was a possibility that Lux would follow him to the grave.

While the two were feeling depressed, a beautiful Elf landed on the balcony, making Piccoro and the two handmaidens frown.

"Who are you?" Piccoro asked. 

"Be at peace, Dragon Born," the beautiful Elf replied. "My name is Lorelei, and I hail from the Kingdom of Espoir Frieden. I was just minding my own business when I heard someone mention Lux's name. Because of this, I decided to investigate. Are you perhaps his acquaintances?"

Valerie and Aur looked at the beautiful Elf, who had called herself Lorelei, with a frown.

"Do you know Sir Lux?" Valerie asked. "Where did the two of you meet?"

Lorelei smiled as she gazed at the plain-looking girl in front of her.

"You could say that Lux is my rival," Lorelei replied. "The two of us fought together, after which he promised to visit me in Espoire Frieden. As to where we met, I'm sorry, but I can't tell you."

Aur arched an eyebrow as he looked at Lorelei from head to foot. "Are you sure that you are his rival? Lux didn't mention anything about having a rival."

"Of course, he didn't." Lorelei smirked. "This is a secret between the two of us."

Lorelei was, of course, lying. 

After losing to Lux, she treated the Half-Elf as her rival, but the red-headed teenager didn't even consider her to be his rival.I think you should take a look at

Naturally, Lorelei wouldn't disclose this kind of information. She was merely using her connection to Lux to learn more about the two Dragons, who seemed to have a close relationship with the Half-Elf that defeated her.

Truth be told, the Elf wanted to know more about Lux. But, since even her own Master had only seen the Half-Elf in the Ancestral Lands, she was unable to gather more information about him.

Now that she had overheard others talking about the red-headed teenager, she decided to introduce herself and dig some answers out of them.

Aur, who didn't trust people so easily, decided to pry some answers from the Elf, who claimed to be Lux's rival.

"You said that you are from Espoire Frieden, right?" Aur smiled. "Tell me, what is the stance of your High King in regards to the execution of the Heretic?"

Lorelei frowned because she didn't expect to be asked a political question.

"I am not aware of His Majesty's stance in this matter," Lorelei replied. "I just tagged along because the Halfling about to be executed is an acquaintance of my Master."

"Oh? So you just came here to watch Lux's Master get executed?" Aur smirked. "Is this your own version of entertainment?"

The frown on Lorelei's face deepened after sensing the sarcasm in Aur's voice. Her Uncle, the Elven King, had told her the identities of the people who were in the VIP area of the Divine Empire.

This meant that she should mind her manners and not antagonize any of them. Otherwise, it might lead to political tensions between their kingdoms.

"Regardless of what I feel on the matter, it doesn't change the fact that I am unable to change anything," Lorelei replied. "I am merely a Ranker. My Rank and Status are not enough to put a stop to this execution. Since we are on this subject, do you know how many Supremes and Saints are currently within the Divine Empire?"

Aur nodded. "Fifty Supremes, and thousands of Saints. Right now, a fifth of this world's strongest people are here in the Divine Empire."

"That's right." Lorelei smirked. "The two of you are clearly on Lux's side. So, tell me, can the two of you do anything to stop this execution?"

The beautiful Elf glanced at the city from the balcony and shrugged.

"I don't know how many Supremes have allied themselves with the Divine Empire," Lorelei stated. "But I can say for certain that there are at least two Supremes who are working with them—the Beast King Zaiden and the Supreme Sorcerer Finnegan.

"Although I don't know if they will move to help the Divine Empire capture Lux, his chances of leaving this place alive are very slim. If I were him, I'd just take revenge on the people here after they have left the Divine Empire. It is simply impossible to make waves in the presence of so many powerhouses."

Lorelei shook her head helplessly before slowly floating off of the ground.

"If the two of you are really Lux's friends, you should convince him to stay as far away from this place as he can," Lorelei said. "His life as a Half-Elf may not last for thousands of years, but if he bides his time until he can become a Saint or a Supreme, it will not be too late to have his revenge."

With that Lorelei left without a second glance. She truly didn't want to see Lux die, and she was hoping that Valerie and Aur had a way to contact him.

His master had told her that they had sent one of their men to help save Gaap. However, she didn't believe that a single person could save the Halfling and escape the Divine Empire alive.

After Lorelei had left, Valerie and Aur exchanged glances with each other. Both of them knew that the beautiful Elf was right.

They currently didn't have the strength or power to make a difference, and save Lux's Master from being executed.
