Chapter 147

If I die, a curse of dying will fall upon my father, who’s the best dignity and essence of Bariel, and my beloved-

When Gale shouted beloved, everybody frowned in disgust. Irrespective of how a lot they considered it, it was an adjective that didnt swimsuit him in any respect. And as quickly as they realized the topic was Mariv, everybody began to stir.

My brother, Mariv.

Gale!

Kwang!

Mariv unknowingly slammed the desk and jumped up. Theres a restrict to enjoying methods. Blatantly mendacity like that’s the deception of deceptions. The opposing forces additionally joined in, dumbfounded.

Your Highness Gale, does what youre saying even make sense now?

Oh my, watch your phrases! He’s His Highness Gale!

No, isnt it true? Now he says that if he dies, a curse will fall upon His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness Mariv, which is clearly an try to safe his personal security!

Thats proper! Hes hiding the actual curse!

If it turns into identified, it should be an inconvenient curse, so thats why hes saying that. Your Majesty the Emperor, theres no have to hesitate. Shortly order him to depart the palace!

What are you saying! What if one thing occurs to His Highness Gales security after leaving the palace? And if the curse is triggered, will you’re taking duty?

Its not solely about His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness Mariv, however the existence of the whole Bariel is at stake! How are you going to so simply dismiss it as a lie? You dont need to imagine it, do you?

Then do you assume these phrases are true? That such a heavy curse will be forged with the blood of simply two folks? Do you imagine that?

We will ask the magicians! Sir Ian!

Ian, who was quietly watching, was referred to as upon. The fiercely debating factions stopped shouting and concurrently turned to Ian. He was staring straight forward with a fairly unperturbed expression.

In poor health ask Sir Ian. Forbidden magic, that’s, do you assume Minister Wesleigh and his assistant might forged a curse that might decide the destiny of Bariel? Do you actually imagine His Highnesss curse is true?

Say its not true! A minister from Marivs faction urged with a glare. However Ians reply was totally calm.

Its doable.

Mumble mumble, at Ians easy reply, Gales faction members put their heads collectively and whispered one thing. They most likely additionally guessed that Gales testimony was false. However regardless of the reality was, it was clear that Gales testimony was the one likelihood to show the tide.

Forbidden magic usually refers to all talents that deviate from the ideas of nature and destiny. It allows magicians souls to do issues that even God can’t simply contact, equivalent to life and space-time. Particularly, former Minister Wesleigh was a succesful magician who turned the youngest court docket magician, so its not unimaginable.

No, can a single magician decide the existence of Bariel? Does that make sense?

You may say that in case you dont know what occurs to those that use forbidden magic. They fall into the abyss. Generally referred to as hell.

Hell. An area the place one is consumed by everlasting struggling and devours oneself for eons.

And to be exact, there have been two magicians. Those that obtained Gods may have fallen into hell. It’s thought-about a sufficiently doable curse.

Marivs faction swallowed their saliva and checked out Gale. Isnt the one who obtained that horrible curse together with his physique proper there? Even when what he simply testified was a lie, there should be one other curse sprouting inside him anyway.

Then, lets use the reality potion on Gale.

It was Marivs voice that broke the silence.

He sat again down, sustaining his composure once more. A mislead keep away from the second would solely maintain again his personal ft. Mariv smiled and regarded Gale up and down.

How about it? We will instantly discover out if the curse Gale obtained is true or not.

Thats a good suggestion!

Th-thats proper! Isnt the reality potion one thing the Ministry of Magic has been pushing for? They are saying the impact is excellent, proper?

Please order it proper now, Your Majesty!

If His Highness Gales testimony is fake, his imperial surname should be stripped! Its nearly the identical as threatening the security of Bariel, Your Majesty, and His Highness Mariv!

You might be all being reckless! Watch your mouth! You might be already assuming that Lord Gale gave false testimony! This quantities to the crime of insulting the imperial household!

The Emperor slowly raised his hand. It meant for everybody to cease and be quiet. It was a pitifully skinny hand, nevertheless it had adequate authority.

What about the timeframe?

At someones query, everybody checked out Ian. They have been solely asking about magic-related issues via Ians mouth. It made one guess how the Ministry of Magics unmatched energy was established.

In line with the report, it can take about half a month, however we are able to push it somewhat earlier. The specifics must be mentioned with the division in cost.

I perceive. Then lets wrap up the assembly right here. Its been a very long time already. We are going to convene an emergency assembly once more quickly, so main associated events, dont go away the palace and keep.

Bang bang bang!

The assembly was tentatively concluded. If Gale hadnt woken up, it will have been delayed much more. The ministers sighed in aid and paid their respects to the Emperor.

Swish.

Everybody, attempt to revive the every day lifetime of the palace. And Gale.

Sure. Father.

The Emperor silently ordered him to comply with with a nod. As they stepped exterior, Gales faction additionally disappeared just like the receding tide. They’d positively proceed the emergency assembly on this vital matter. Marivs remaining faction members have been additionally gathering in teams of three or 5 and placing their heads collectively.

Ian.

Sure. Your Highness Mariv.

Ian approached Marivs name and bowed his head.

Are the captains of the departments associated to the reality potion among the many candidates for the following Minister of Magic?

No. They prioritize the pursuit of knowledge over the cultivation of magical energy, so they’ll don’t have any intention of being elected because the minister.

Mariv regarded round and gestured for Ian to return nearer. Ian bowed to him, who was sitting, and introduced his ear shut.

Then win them over first.

His voice sounded fairly cheerful. That was comprehensible. Wesleigh, the wing of the Ministry of Magic, was damaged and useless, and coping with Gale was additionally a matter of time. Moreover, the one he would push as the following minister was his subordinate. How way more good might the state of affairs be?

Will or not it’s doable?

In fact. Your Highness.

Good. I’ll ship a extra detailed message later.

At the moment, the Ministry of Magic clearly acknowledged Ians existence. Though he had simply joined, he had a strong reference to the prince and, above all, was a possessor of large skill who might rival the previous minister.

It was not an environment the place being beneficial because the minister was taken as a joke.

Swish.

Ian nodded and left a short greeting, and Mariv inspired him with a glad gesture.

As he stepped exterior, he noticed a pink magic circle forged on the constructing the place the personnel assembly had taken place. It was an indication to not method as an investigation was being performed, together with Wesleighs dying.

Mariv Didnt he discover one thing unusual?

He recalled Mariv and Gale clashing within the assembly room. It was true that Gale lied concerning the curse. However what concerning the reality potion? Did it actually go in accordance with Marivs intentions?

If Gale had really tampered with the reality potion, he would have introduced it himself to the assembly. And by ingesting it concurrently together with his testimony, he would have pushed the matter via.

This was all Gales calculation. It may be seen as utilizing the opposing factions mistrust of the reality potion to purchase time.

Then, within the present Ministry of Magic with out Wesleigh, the one who would work with him to

Ian.

Swoosh.

It was when he was passing by the backyard subsequent to the Ministry of Magics essential constructing. He circled on the voice calling him. It was the identical as that day. The day he confronted Gale within the place the place there ought to have been a separate residence. The wind coolly penetrated between the 2 folks.

Did you communicate with His Majesty the Emperor?

Gale nodded and pointed deep into the backyard. It meant, lets discuss for a second.
