13. Learning From Aunt.

Evelyn took a seat and one of the elders spoke. “May we begin now, your Majesty?”

“Yes,” Evelyn replied.

“Thank you, your Majesty. We understand that you are currently busy preparing for your son’s mana core awakening, so we’ll try to end this meeting as quickly as possible.”

Hearing this, Evelyn’s lips stretched into a smile.

She hadn't expected this, but she wanted nothing more than to end the meeting as soon as possible so that she could return home to Orion.

“Before you arrived, your Majesty, we decided to have a little meeting of our own and after a few hours of discussion and negotiation between ourselves, we decided to trust the decision you’ve made.”

“Is every one of you in agreement with this?” Evelyn asked while looking around the room, and all the elders replied to her question in unison.

“Yes, your Majesty.”

“The war is over, thanks to you and Princess Elena, so we understand why you want to have a family of your own. And after everything you’ve done for us, no one would want to stand in the way of you finding happiness.”

“Thank you.”

“It’s our pleasure, your Majesty. But please, before you leave, there’s something you need to know about...”

With the main meeting concerning Orion now concluded, Evelyn and the elders discussed other matters concerning the city.

Initially, there were concerns about the queen’s decision to have a baby using forbidden magic, but after a sincere exchange of words between themselves, the elders decided to trust in the choices Evelyn made.

They still believed she shouldn’t have done what she did, but the elders' minds were made up and they decided to put their faith in their queen.

Meanwhile, back at the royal castle, Orion and his aunt were currently in Evelyn’s bedroom, sitting together on a chair on the balcony.

Orion was seated on his aunt’s lap while his head rested on her breast.

The Nether Realm.

The mortal realm consisted of several races that lived in their own respective kingdoms.

The demons had theirs, the merfolks had theirs, and the same went for the elves, humans, beastmen, and other races as well.

Each of these races had a celestial being they served and each of these celestial beings lived together in the celestial realm.

However, the celestial beings grew bored after seeing the same mundane and boring events occurring between the denizens of their world every single day, so in order to ease their boredom, they decided to pit the races against each other, to reward the first mage or knight to ever get to Rank 24 with the choice of making a wish.

The world consisted of mages and knights, and each of them was ranked according to their strength.

A Rank 24 mage was the highest known mage rank at the time and no other mage had ever ranked up to that level before.

Mages in such rank were also known by another name, they were called ‘Malevolent Mages.’

In fact, so many mages thought it would be impossible to reach such a rank until the celestial beings informed them of its possibility, and this resulted in the first-ever World War between all the races in the world of Aethoria.

The celestial beings gambled among themselves to see which race would be the first to have a Rank 24 mage.

However, one of the celestial beings wanted his race to win and dominate all the other races, so he helped that race discover a way to grow stronger and faster than others.

This celestial being was none other than The god of the undead.

The Undead god’s objective was not only to prove his race’s superiority over that of other races, but it was to also gain recognition from the other celestial beings in the celestial realm.

In the end, the undead race was the first race to have three Rank 24 mages at the same time, shocking other powerhouse kingdoms in the mortal realm.

As promised, the celestial beings of the world summoned these three undead mages to the celestial realm and offered a wish to all three Rank 24 undead mages.

Afterward, to everyone’s surprise, angels from the celestial realm descended to the mortal realm, transforming into fallen angels.

Many wondered why the Angels suddenly descended from the celestial realm, but it turned out that the celestial beings had been killed by the three mages who had been summoned into the celestial realm.
