Justiciar - Lord of the Mysteries

The MC is transmigrated as Prince Edessak in world of Mysteries two years before the plot starts. How will the new Edessak survive in this world filled with chaos and madness,will he fall succumbing to his fate? or will he bring order to this world full of chaos. For this is Legend of The Justiciar. (I started writing this novel as I felt really bad for Prince Edessak, he is forced to commit suicide by his land steward, William Sikes. Later his father used his death as a scapegoat to explain the Great smog incident to the churches and public. And I also love the Arbiter pathway a lot, so I started writing this stupid novel. English is not my first language so do point out my mistakes.)

16)Antigonus Notebook

As moonlight seeped through the window, Edessak paced through empty hallways of the unused part of Sodela palace. As he reached in front of the ginormous golden door, he halted and knocked on it thrice. Captain Dorian who worked under his Aunt opened the door.

"Oh hey, so it's your turn tonight huh?" the prince whispered.

"Yeah. Follow me and try not looking at relics, they would be striving their best to lure you."

Dorian replied in a soft voice as the prince followed him.As they reached their destination which happened to be a rundown shelf, "Yeah take this, it holds an Imperative Mage characteristics, and Heart of blind Chuambas and sleeping Golden Katora's eyeball fluid 30ml as the supplementary ingredient." Dorian said as he passed the elegant golden container to the Prince.

As Edessak held the Golden container which donned the Augustus family's insignia, he pondered about Tingen, Zangwill, the Quill, Lavenus, Megose, the True Creator's descent and his opportunity to advance.

2:59 pm Monday

Edessak sat on his bed and reflected, as he opened his eyes and cocked his head to peek at the timepiece hanging on the wall and watched the needle strike three.At that instant, he observed a deep-red glow appear like a tidal wave from nowhere, immersing him instantly.

Above the gray fog stood a magnificent divine hall that looked like a giant's dwelling.

Dull crimson hues blossomed. They swelled upwards like a fountain before pattering down. It 'carved' three blurry figures who sat in the same spots as before.

Audrey instinctively looked towards the Seat of Honor. She saw the figure submerged in thick gray fog sitting back. One hand was steady, caressing the table's side while the other hand was stroking his chin.This was Klein who had now become a sequence 9 beyonder of the Seer pathway.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~!" Audrey exclaimed with a pleasant voice. Following that she turned towards the gentlemen sitting beside her, and with same tone she said, "Good afternoon, Mr.Emperor~!","Good afternoon, Mr.Hanged Man~!"

"Good afternoon, Miss Justice."Klein spoke and lowered his head slightly. He then moved his left hand and tapped his glabella twice.

What he saw changed shortly. He saw Miss Justice, Mr.Emperor and Mr.Hanged Man radiate the colors of their aura. As he observed them. He noticed that Miss Justice's current emotions were pleasure, devotion, and excitement. Hanged Man's aura showed Calm, thoughtful, comprehensive, and a little delighted.However, the aura of the Hanged Man's innermost layer was nearly of the same color, it was deep blue hue, akin to the sea. It felt like a tidal storm. Klein speculated that it was due to him being an beyonder. Mr.Emperor's emotion on the other hand were calm, thoughtful and pleased. And his ether body was golden in color, it gave of the feeling of authority, charisma and pride as if Klein was standing in front of a real Emperor.

'Both Hanged Man and Emperor seem to beyonders, and they are obviously much stronger than Old Neil.' Klein speculated while Justice and Hanged Man completed their deal.

As Mr Hanged explained the core of being a spectator to Audrey. Edessak spoke up "Acting is just that, pretending to be a 'spectator' leads to digestion." stealing Mr.Fool's chance to posture.

However, Klein shamelessly added to maintain his incomprehensively image, "It's not about discovery, but rather acting.The name of a potion is not only symbolic, it's also imagery. It is the key to digesting."

After coming out of his trance Alger raised his head and said with a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Mr. Fool and Mr.Emperor. Your clues are as precious as my life. You have educated me greatly. Of course, I believe I have yet to fully understand or comprehend it."

Klein retained his bizarre and indecipherable impression by saying with a smile,

"That was an advance payment." and Edessak smiled and as he said nothing.

After asking for Emperor Roselle's diary pages as payment and shocking the trio, one of whom just pretended. Audrey and Alger started talking about the current topics like the infamous pirate who calls himself Lieutenant General Deweyville's voyage to explore the eastern end of the Sonia Sea, as Edessak joined them.

Klein felt out of place as he didn't even know who Deweyville was, decided maintain his unfathomable image and spoke,

"According to what I know, the Secret Order has lost an Antigonus family notebook."

"An Antigonus family notebook?" Alger smiled as he continued," I'm  really curious as to what reaction the Church of the Evernight Goddess will have if they learn of it."

Edessak cleared his throat as he started to speak, "Umu, the Antigonus notebook, that's a cursed book, it secretly curses anyone who tries to read it. Someone told me it was quite active recently."

"Whaaat really??? but what kind of special reaction would the goddess church have when they hear about it?" Audrey said as she looked at Emperor and Hanged Man.

"Yeah I've heard a group of University kids in Tingen ended up killing themselves due to it recently. And to answer your second question let's just say, The Antigonus family was destroyed by the Church of the Evernight Goddess in the end of the Fourth Epoch or the early stages of the present epoch." Edessak answered in a deep voice.And Alger nodded his head in agreement as Klein screamed in horror inwardly,

'Don't you think you know a little bit too much Mr.Emperor?!!!?'
