34 Chapter 34: Execution!
===============
"So, If it isn't the problem. Let's move onto the next discussion." when Emperor Robin seriously spoke.
?
"We have now caught all of the traitors of the Empire. So, I am now going to reveal out those traitors."
'What does it have to do with me? I already know it is Margrave Steelshield, I just want to return home and rest now.' I thought, while Fluder also teleported behind the Emperor.
"The Rebellious nobel's that dared to rebel against my Empire. Imperial Court Magician Fluder Paradyne here will tell." Emperor Robin said, while Fluder behind him gave a nod.
"Now! Let me reveal the rebellious bastard's that dare rebel against Empire!" Fluder said, making all Nobel present there tensed up. It was well-known by all, that the punishment for rebellion was the eradication of there entire lineage.
So, they were all worried if any of those rebellion had any lineage ship with them.
"First! It unfortunately is one of the Five Great Nobel of our Empire! Margrave Steelshield! It was found after the search that it was him who had smuggled the Kingdom spies inside our broader! He also was informing Kingdom about our military conditions!" Fluder stated, making many to gasp in shock, a huge uproar ran in the throne room.
A Great Nobel doing such treachery toward the Empire! What a shock it was!
"Now, Silence! Secondly is Count Rockbruise! Raiding his mansion, We had found out an hidden chamber inside his bedroom! There we found many message items that had direct connection with the Kingdom!" this revelation by Fluder caught me by surprise! while the same could be said to the nobel's presented here.
It was known clearly, that I was engaged to the daughter of Count Rockbruise.
Giving a glance at Fluder, he also took a glance at me before continuing.
"And finally the leaders of this rebellion faction!"
"They are Count Fox and Viscount Auguste! It was found out, that they were the leader of the rebellion after several investigation. They had the rebellious thought of uniting us with Kingdom, We also found out many hidden bases of rebels in there land." Fluder revealed, while soon everyone in the throne room turned toward me.
[<Ghost of Uchiha> "Wow!"]
While I was left speechless, My father was the leader of the rebellion? What joke it is!
'No! No! Is this a joke?' I tried thinking calmly, while I saw Fluder looking at me. When a Nobel raised his voice.
"Your Grace, Lord Fluder. Could it be possible for Lord Alard to als—"
"No! I made Alard my direct student from the age of six! I also have always visited him. It was just that I didn't revealed it until he reached the age of 10, I can guarantee that he is not a rebel. So, Alard with be spared from the punishment!" Fluder said sternly glaring at all of the nobel's, his aura leaking a little. While the entire room tensed up.
*Clap!
"Now! Lord Fluder Paradyne. No need to go for violence. To tell the truth, I also had met with Alard in the 3th birthday of Prince Jircniv my son." Emperor Robin also said. While, Nobody now dared raise there suspicion on me.
While, I was still confused? I really don't care about my parents, but they are still are my parents, right?
I was completely trapped in a dilemma.
I really didn't cared about my parents, but in the same time I cared?
'Shit! This sudden reveal of Fluder caught me!' I grunted, trying to not think about anything for now.
"Now, The punishment for the rebellion will be carried out tomorrow in the Grand Arena! Now you all are dismissed!" Fluder declared, while nobel's giving a nobel bow, soon walked out of the room. I also getting up, began to walk.
"Brat! Stay here. I and Emperor have something to talk with you." Fluder voice resonate behind me. When, I turned around. My face carrying a mix expression, I paused at my place, many nobels walking through me, giving me pitiful look.
Making my killing urge to flare up.
'How dare they give me those pitiful eyes!' but still concealing my killing urge, I clutched my fist.
Soon, the throne room was emptied. Leaving only me, Fluder and Emperor.
When, Emperor stood up from his throne. He and Fluder walked to me.
"Alard, Are you angry at me? For saying your parents are rebellious?" Emperor Robin asked, while I didn't even knew what to say.
"I—"
"My Student, I just want to tell you something before you speak."
" Hearing how you mercifully let the surrendered enemies to live. I know, you care about the life of common folks. So tell me, If the rebellion were to be successful. How many people's of our Empire could have been scarified! How many children could have lost there parents! How many mother could loose there husband! How many of our people could be forced into slavery by those Kingdom!" Fluder said, trying to make my parents guilty.
'Tch! Is he trying to make me believe my parents are in wrong here? Then he terribly failed at it.' I scoffed inwardly, while my mind soon calmed down. Making me soon think straight, not letting my emotions take control of me.
'I will receive my own Nobel status when I reach the age of 15. So, there aren't any use of my parents other then being my weakness! I don't know why, but it seems like I have some emotions attached to my parents. Though it is pretty normal, I lived with them for 10 year. It was inevitable to grow any attachments from them.
'I don't want any weakness!' resolving myself, I have decided! I need nothing that will make me hold back alive!
"Th-then are my parents bad?" I asked innocently, while I can see a struggling smug into there face.
"Yes! Your parents are bad! They tried to kill other for there own interests!" Fluder said, while I said with straight face.
"Then they should be punished! My mother once told me, Be it anyone if they are bad. They should be punished." I said like a good kid, when Emperor and Fluder raised there eyebrow.
"Yea! Then I will punish them, because they are bad." when Emperor Robin said, me giving him a nod.
"Then can I also arrive tomorrow to watch my parents punishment?" I asked.
"Thi—"
"Sure, You can arrive tomorrow." Fluder said, while Emperor gave him a concerning look.
"Then, I will be leaving now." I said, then turned around to leave.
...
...
After Alard left the throne room, Fluder and Emperor were alone, there eyes met.
"Uncle Fluder! Why did you allowed Alard to come to the execution! No matter how much of genius he is, He is still a kid. Showing him, his parents getting executed is too much." Emperor Robin said, while Fluder shook his head.
"Haii Kid! I didn't raised three Emperors before you for nothing! You may not have noticed it but I already have noticed it. That brat, when I said his parents need to be punished. His eyes had turned into something, that I had only seen once before."
"That brat, must already know getting his parents punished meant executing them. Still, he agreed to it. That brat isn't as innocent as he is seen. I am saying it with my 200 year of experience." Fluder said, he wasn't just a old man that was obsessed about magic.
He was someone that has gone through hell during the era of Evil deities and Thirteen Heroes. He has seen the world much more then any other have seen in the entire Empire.
"Isn't innocent as seen? What do you mean by that, Uncle Fluder?"
"He is already knowledgeable enough to be called one of the most intelligent person of the Empire. I have many time spied him, before coming to teach him. He always when not training, stays in his father study room. Reading the entire book collections, all you need to know is he is not only a genius in warfare and magic but also in wisdom." Fluder said, while he didn't knew why Alard acts innocent.
But, he didn't needed the answer to it anyway. All, he wanted was Alard to mature faster. This kid Alard was genius! If he stays with Alard, he was sure with Alard help. He can discover many mysteries of magic. Like that Sharingan thing of his.
"I g..get it, Uncle." Emperor said, surprised by Fluder words.
