The World Serpent

Chapter 116 - 116-Emperor Severus

The Emperor of the Albion Empire, Severus, was one of the two Sons of the World. 

Ruling over one of the Supreme Nations within the Continent of Debilis and his Title made Severus stand upon the Peak of the World. He was a Loving and Compassionate Ruler, which made him Popular within the Albion Empire. His Life was Clear, and Severus continued to rule over the Albion Empire for Centuries as it continued to prosper. But during a time within Severus's History, He fell in love with a Noble of the Albion Empire.

An Albion Noble Lady who he fell on was Julia. She was a renowned Beauty within the Empire. Her Noble Upbringings and her Interesting Persona made her desirable. Of course, the Emperor would fall in love with such a lady. The two of them started meeting together with both of their identities unknown from each other. Severus instantly knew after a month due to his Emperor's Persona, but Julia continued thinking of Severus as some random guy within the Royale Capital.

Days and Months passed as Julia slowly knew of Severus's real identity. It was the rocky part of their story, but passing through the rocky road was the best thing that ever happened for Severus. Years had passed since they met, and they finally announced their marriage to the Empire. It sent huge waves as Emperor Severus, also known as the Lonely Sage, finally had a Wife. 

It was a piece of shocking news though the Festivals that came after it was a shocker. The Lights of the Albion Empire shone as the Nations raised their eyebrows after hearing such news. The Son of the World finally had a Wife. As shocking as it was, The Nations knew that Imperial Children and the Grandchildren of the World could get born. 

The History of the Albion Empire was quite interesting. 

The Former Emperor, also known as the Rebel or Severus's Father, decided to Rebel against the World. It ended with a War that ravaged the Continent. The Rebel War ended with the Former Emperor dying but not before striking the Eternal Sword upon the World's Body. The Origins of the Eternal Sword was unknown, but its power made the World forced out of the Continent Debilis. 

With the World out of the Continent Debilis, Its inhabitants were out of the World's Complete Control. But that didn't mean that they were safe. The World could control Destiny and Fate. It could lead those that oppose it into strange deaths. Though even if the World manipulated the two powers. It needed Energy, which seemed to get taken by the Eternal Sword. 

Anyway, within the Capital of Royale, A Young Man stood upon the Imperial Balcony. He was overlooking over the Imperial Capital City with a smile plastered on his face. After all, His wedding was about to start. He heard a knock on his door as he replied with his calm and grand voice. "Come in." 

The door opened, which revealed one of his best Generals. It was a Young General known as Julius Khan. "Julius, It's nice to see you." The Young Man spoke as the Young General nodded and kneeled. "Your Majesty, Severus." Severus shook his head after hearing the words of the Young General. "Stand up." Severus's orders echoed within his ears as The Young General instantly stood up. 

"Are there any reasons for you to come here?" Severus asked with a calm voice as Julius nodded and answered. "We have prepared our Security Forces and Mobilised the Imperial Army to protect our borders. During the entire week, most of the Imperial Borders will be under lockdown." Severus nodded after hearing Julius's answer.

"I see... Good job." Severus was grateful to Julius after hearing the news. Julius lightly bowed before asking a strange question towards Severus. "You seemed to be love stricken towards Madam Julia, Your Majesty. You highly resembled a Teenage Boy having a date with his crush." Severus raised an eyebrow and asked. "Was it obvious?"

"It is clear as Day, your Majesty." Julius honestly answered as Severus began thinking upon himself. He was acting strange, but it was probably because of the wedding. It was his first time loving someone other than the Empire, which was Strange for Severus. "Your Majesty's Innocence is intriguing though we would have to talk more about the defensive parameters of the Empire." 

The two of them heard a lady-like voice from the door. A Beautiful Lady General appeared as she continued her words. "The Foreign Nations might want to cause some problems. We can even say the same to your Problematic Brother." Severus smiled as Julius shook his head. Julius then replied with a calm voice. 

"I doubt that my Brother would cause problems towards the Empire. Though, I would probably have to investigate the Foreign Nations." The Beautiful Lady General, also known as Astarte, shook her head and disagreed with the words of the Emperor. "You trust your Brother too much. You turn a blind eye to his crimes and pretend they don't exist. Yet you kept speaking about condemning Criminals." 

Julius furrowed his eyebrows and spoke. "Astarte, You're disrespecting your Majesty." Julius walked towards Astarte as Severus stopped him in his tracks. "There is no reason for the two of you to fight." Severus stopped the two of them from fighting as Astarte shook her head and left the door. But before leaving, She turned her head towards Severus and warned. 

"My Emperor, Forgive me of my words. I have a hatred against Hypocrites, which is why I am angry when the one I love is a Hypocrite. Your Trust in your Brother will get betrayed. Your Lost will depend on Fate. And that is a good question, whether Fate loves you or not." Astarte walked within the Imperial Hallway as Julius clicked his tongue.

"She's going too far. Why don't you let me punish her, Your Majesty?" Julius asked in confusion as Severus answered. "If we let those who speak the truth get punished, then who would speak the truth?" Julius found himself in shock as Severus walked out of the room. "Truth?" Julius muttered to himself as such a word kept echoing within his mind after seeing the devastating scene in front of him.

In the Capital of Royale, A Disaster struck upon the Albion Empire. Within the Church, where the wedding between Julia and Severus got held, A Tragedy that would send the very course of history into a different path, A Tragedy that would create the Second Rebel of the World. The Cold Reality, which instantly struck Severus and took everything away from him. 

Julius silently stood as the Rain fell from the Heavens. It echoed as the Thunder roared. He held his sword tightly while looking at the Two Son of the World. Malus was holding a bloodied dagger while Severus was holding Julia, who was dying. Severus's bloodied hands were shaking in fear as he kept muttering one word over and over again. 

"Julia!? Julia!? Julia!? Julia!?" Severus wanted Julia to speak to him, but unfortunately, no answer came. He gazed upon Malus and shouted. "What have you done, Brother!!!" Malus furrowed his eyebrows after hearing his Brother's words. He smirked and answered with a mocking voice. 

"The bitch didn't want to sleep with me. Rather disappointing and she resisted, which resulted in her death. The Mortal isn't worth it, Brother. The fact that she didn't want to sleep with me is a disrespect towards the two of us." The Arrogance that exited from Malus's mouth would make the Devil smile. 

"Y-you..." Severus didn't know what to say as he turned her gaze towards Julius. Julius then saw something he never wanted to see. The Dead and Cold Eyes of a Former Compassionate and Loving Emperor. The Fall had begun, and the Metamorphis of Fate was about to start. 

Severus started walking towards Julius as Julius found himself unmoving. Severus stood in front of him while unsheathing Julius's sword. As Severus took Julius's sword out from its sheath, Severus turned his gaze towards Malus and walked towards him with a cold expression. Each of his Cold steps echoed as Malus felt something different from his Brother.

"You can't be serious, Brother?" Malus found himself in disbelief as he couldn't find any sense of his Brother's current actions. Severus continued waking towards Malus as he swung his sword towards him. Malus dodged Severus's attack and countered the attack with his bloodied dagger. Severus parried the metal dagger of Malus as the two of them stood opposite from each other. 

"I can't believe you choose a Mortal over your Family!!!" Malus shouted with anger as he charged toward Severus with his dagger. Severus's expression didn't change as he blocked the attack of Malus and countered with his sword. *Clang!!!* *Clang!!!* *Clang!!!* *Clang!!!* The sound of metal hitting each other echoed within the Rain as Julius finally could move. 

He ran towards Julia and noticed the bloody hole in her stomach. He couldn't help but grit his teeth as the Future Empress of the Albion Empire fell on her wedding day. Julius then slowly closed Julia's eyelids and covered her body. He then carried the Dead Body of the Empress and ran back to the Church.

The Bells of War started ringing as the news of the Empress's Death caused waves within the Empire. 

Severus and Malus continued fighting against each other as they got faster and faster. Their shockwaves destroyed everything near them as a Storm continued to grow above the two Brothers. The Emperor of the Albion Empire and the Lord of the Sin City was fighting each other. Such news would make the Foreign Nations satisfied and happy. After all, the destruction of the two brothers' relationship was the best thing for the Continent of Debilis.

"I should have killed you when I had the chance. I should have captured you when I had the chance. But unfortunately, with my foolish choice. She died..." Severus muttered under the Rain as he continued swinging his sword towards his Brother. Blinded by Hatred and Despair, the only thing Severus could do was see the Head of his Brother separating from the body and burning into flames. 

The two of them continued fighting as their Dagger and Sword broke apart. Malus couldn't help but freeze at seeing his dagger breaking apart, but Severus continued the fight by punching Malus in the face. The two fell onto the Ground as Severus attacked Malus over and over again. Malus's face got bloodier and bloodier as each punch of Severus caused the Ground they stood on to crack. 

Severus stopped and looked around the surroundings. He then grabbed hold of the broken pieces of the sword and was about to stab it towards his Brother. But unfortunately, some interventions happen. Their Mother intervened and stopped Severus from stabbing his Brother. Malus then got illuminated by a bright light and disappeared from the spot. 

Severus stood up and looked upwards towards the Heavens. A Strange voice then echoed within the skies. *Don't try to kill your Brother, Severus.* Severus gritted his teeth after hearing the voice and walked back to the Church. 

The Mourning for the Empress's death began, and a Strange Holiday started. The Emperor of the Albion Empire isolated himself from the Empire and his People. Centuries passed as the Albion Empress's death had continued to affect the World. The Second Rebel was about to rise as he would meet someone comparable to an Eternal Sword. 

Meanwhile, Years later, Within the Ablazed Sin City. Severus silently stood while gazing upon the Flaming Heavens. He couldn't help but smile as his long-awaited revenge got finally achieved. The Thousand Flaming Meteors fell from the skies as Severus released a single thought. 'It seems that they are about to fight.' 

Statera appeared right beside Severus and spoke with her seductive voice. "Let's leave the area." Severus nodded in agreement as the two of them disappeared.. The Evacuation of the Group had begun as the Operation called Revenge got completed.
