Chapter 60 Meeting The Emperor [Part 3]



As he crossed the seemingly fake wall, Aiden discovered a completely new space.

It was a lot bigger than the small room from before, everything was beautiful and luxurious which was fitting for a king.

It was almost as big as a house who would have thought that when Aiden first walked in and saw the state of the room.

As Aiden continued to walk in, Alex stopped him as he was now faced with a door right in front of him.

"This is his bedroom, let me do the talking and you'll see he'll meet you," whispered Alex to Aiden, not wanting to anger the emperor.

"Humm, Humm," coughed Alex to show his presence. "Sorry to disturb you, but I came with a visitor that would like to meet you. I believe that he has something that you should like.

"Alex is that you?" said a voice inside that room.

"Yes, will you let us in?"

"Who's with you?"

"I told you, someone, that would like to meet you, he says to have something that could interest you," repeated Alex once again.

"Are you sure I can trust him, didn't you hear the alarm the empire isn't safe," said the emperor wanting to know more about this visitor.

'Is he someone you can trust?' thought Alex as the answer that came to his mind was immediately 'no' as he was almost certain that Aiden was the one to have killed the two generals.

But he didn't mention it to the king as he wanted to have what Aiden promised to him, greed was taking over his rational thoughts.

"Yes, he's someone you can trust, don't worry." lied Alex.

Hearing Alex say that Aiden was over the moon because he started questioning whether or not he would have to act right away killing both of them as this would make it easier for him.

"Then give me a second, and I'll come out," said the emperor as Aiden and Alex could hear him standing and getting closer to the door.

'Should I kill him the moment I see him?' thought Aiden, unsure what to do. "No, I should probably ask him a couple of questions about the materials for the potions and stuff like that before killing him.'

Then the door opened and a seemingly young man was coming out of it. He clearly didn't seem to have the age for being an emperor, in fact, he looked the age of Aiden who wasn't older than twenty years old.

"So, what do you want?" asked the emperor seemingly not wanting to get out of his room for too long.

"Actually I had a question for you," said Aiden as he prepared his dagger behind his back, ready to kill him at any moment.

"Yes, what is it?" the emperor asked again, looking pressed by time.

"Where are you keeping the materials for the potions of Alex?" 

"Why the hell do you think I would answer that," said the emperor not understanding how stupid the person in front of him could be.

"Well, why would I think you would answer that huh?" said Aiden as he got out the dagger from behind his back threatening the emperor. "This is why."

Looking at the dagger, the emperor started panicking as he shouted at Alex for bringing such an individual here.

"What's the meaning of this Alex?" 

Alex looking at the scene in front of him was confused but not so much as he had anticipated the actions of Aiden.

However, the reason why he hadn't tried to stop him was simply because he didn't care enough.

The only thing he wanted was what Aiden promised and if that was the way to get it then he really didn't care.

"I-I don't know, I was sure that he was someone you could trust," said Alex, acting scared.

"Do something!" said the emperor to Alex.

But when the emperor said that, Alex didn't move a muscle and kept still letting Aiden do whatever he wanted.

"So will you answer me or do you want to die?" asked Aiden as he continued to threaten the emperor with his dagger that was getting closer to his neck.

Seeing that Alex seemed to be in on it, the emperor was even more scared and was now to the mercy of Aiden.

"Y-yes I will," said the emperor who was feeling the pressure.

'I don't know why Alex isn't doing anything but I don't mind it,' thought Aiden confused by the actions of Alex who was letting him so what he wanted to the emperor of his empire.

'Shouldn't he try to protect him? I guess he doesn't care about him,' concluded Aiden.

But he didn't think about too much as his mind was now back on the emperor, his <Trial Objective> was now so close to being completed.

He only needed to slash his throat and he would be done with this trial and will be able to see Maelis again.

"So, where are the materials for those potions?" asked Aiden once again.

"In my room, they're in the safe in my room. It's already opened."

Hearing this, Alex was already heading into his room.

Those materials really were the only thing that mattered to him, it seemed.

"They're in here, I found them," said Alex out loud finding them in his safe.

It was now time for Aiden to finally have his Elixir, after all, the reason he wanted Alex to have those materials since the beginning was for him to craft an Elixir for him.

"Well, I guess I have no need for you but I'll keep you alive a bit longer," said Aiden as he didn't know whether or not he would be teleported back as soon as he killed him.

He slashed both his legs which rendered the emperor immobile for the time being.

Then, Alex came out with the materials and Aiden reminded him of the deal they had made the first time they had seen each other.

"I remember you saying that you would craft an Elixir if I brought you the materials, so are you going to do it?" asked Aiden with a menacing tone that meant that he wouldn't accept a refusal.
