Chapter 454: The same

"That's..." Heath found himself struggling to form his next sentence, being overwhelmed since he was imagining himself in the place of the Emperor.

He also had a young daughter back in Triton and a wife. He was living away from his home because he was assigned to the Continent of Darkness, but he still knew how precious his family was for him.

Keeping himself in the place of the Emperor, he knew he would've gone crazy if it had happened right before his eyes.

The others also weren't fond of what had happened. Even though they all had killed people, taken lives but they never did something like this.

"How old was Milena at that time?" Lucifer asked Arthur.

"Her Majesty was the youngest at that time. She was only eight years old when this happened. The Eldest Princess was twenty. The second Princess was seventeen, and the Third Princess was sixteen," Arthur answered.

"What happened after that? The Emperor was killed and then?" Lucifer asked.

"Well, the Emperor was killed along with all the subordinates that stood loyal to him. From the staff of the Emperor, only the general who had betrayed them was left alive," Arthur replied.

"What about the girls?"

"The girls were separated from each other. The envoys of all four Empires took one Princess. The weakest of the four Empires received the youngest Princess while the strongest Empire of the four received the Eldest Princess."

"As for the Divine Empire, it was divided equally by the four Empires who took equal part of the land in their control," Arthur explained.

"After that?"

"Not much of what happened after that is known. But from what I know, Princess Milena was taken to the Arian Empire, but since she was too young, they didn't do anything to her. They kept her locked in a cell, probably waiting for her to get old enough."

"That's where Princess Milena lived for at least one year before she ultimately awakened her powers. She met Sirius there as well, who worked for the Arian Empire. He helped her escape, taking pity on her plight."

"The two of them ran away, and he helped Milena control her powers which was what she later used to form her army. Sirius killed the enemies, and Princess Milena turned them. That's how things continued for one year."

"And then began the Carnage. Her Majesty attacked the Arian Empire. People kept dying in the War, unable to face the Nobles that were stronger and faster."

" The Nobles also turned the people who kept dying in the War which increased the number of the rebel army even faster. The Arian Empire fell, unable to face the onslaught. But before being wiped out, they did inform other Empires about what was happening."

"Feeling worried, the other Empires also joined the battle, attacking the army of Her Majesty with their full force, but the result was the same. The ability of Her Majesty wasn't something they could take lightly."

"Two days... It took just two days before the war was over. I'm sure you can understand what a slaughter fest it was."

"Which Empire did you fight for at the time? When did Milena turn you?" Lucifer asked.

"I fought for the strongest Empire in the war, well, if you exclude the Divine Empire. It was the Empire that took the Eldest Princess. I was their General," Arthur explained.

"You were their General? You must've had some fun in the war then. Your Teleportation is a mess to deal with. How many enemies did you kill?"

"Enemies? I don't think I remember at this point. Probably a hundred thousand? Or maybe two hundred? But ultimately, I was killed," Arthur explained.

" It's impossible to fight so many people for so long, even for someone like me, especially when food and water run out. Ultimately, I was killed because of a random arrow that penetrated my heart," he continued.

"Funny, right? A Warlock dying because of a mortal's attack from an ordinary arrow? It was a pitiful death for someone like me. Man, I would have preferred to die with more dignity against another Warlock instead."

"Anyway, Her Majesty brought me back to life. And since then, I've been with her," he added.

"I can guess what happened next. Milna took over all the Empires. But what about her sisters? What happened to them?" Lucifer asked.

To the question, Arthur went silent for a moment.

After taking a brief pause, he replied, "The Eldest Princess... She took her life, but not before she was forced to stay with the Eldest Prince for one night."

"When Her Majesty found out about this, she killed the Emperor and took that Prince, giving him to the Newborns who were commanded to... I am sure you can guess..."?he muttered, smiling wryly.

"They were told to kill him?" Heath asked, but understanding.

"Why would she ask Newborns to kill him when she can do it herself? Newborns aren't clever, unlike Nobles. Moreover, they will listen to any command without feeling disgusted. So she asked them to violate the Prince who made her sister suffer in the same way," Arthur explained, more clearly.

"Punishing them with their own methods? I think I know someone else who does the same thing," Caen let out, shaking his head as he glanced at Lucifer.

He remembered how Lucifer had punished the scientists last time.

Folding his arms around his chest, Lucifer nodded. "I would have done the same if I was in her place."

"What about the other two princesses?" he asked.

"The other two princesses? Well, they also died. The second Princess tried running away, and she was killed because an arrow hit the back of her head when she was running," Arthur answered.

" As for the third Princess, he was fed to the dogs after being sliced in small pieces because she spat on his face in disgust when he was with her. The Prince was really enraged because of that and had her killed like that," he continued.

"So all the sisters of Milena were killed, and her father was already dead. So she conquered the entire continent only to find herself all alone in the world, without anyone to share her accomplishment with," Heath chimed in, sighing.

Lucifer glanced at him, lost in thought. Why did his words sound like they were aimed at him? He didn't know his identity, so he couldn't have known about the fact that he was also alone in this world, having no family.

He wondered if this was just a coincidence, but Milena was in the same place as him. The only difference was that she watched her parents killed right before her eyes while Lucifer didn't watch that scene personally.
