Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 629: Alchemy Union, When?

"Wow, that sounds really overbearing for a dish, don't you think," asked Lyon with a twitch in his smile. He knew there was a reason why his goosebumps rose for the name of the dish sounded more aggressive than it should be. He knew it was missing the word art, what kind of art, only his innate soul knew.

Kesya grinned coquettishly. "They shouldn't try though, they might not be able to handle the taste."

The princesses furrowed their eyebrows. Even though the woman in front of her was stronger than both of them, there was no need to demean them for they were strong in their own rights.

Cecile shook her head with a smile. "There is no need to take her words seriously, Assid is our best cook, she is just spouting nonsense."

"That's rude empress! Oops!" Kesya immediately covered her mouth.

"Empress?" Cherie raised her brows.

"Let's not dwell into the details and just enjoy the food," said Cecile with a nod before she noticed that Lumina had begun eating before everyone else could.

"Haha," Lyon smiled wryly before he began eating.

The atmosphere was not festive by any means, in fact, the staffs were on a constant worry as they palpitated looking at the leisure young man from the Mortal World eating with their higher-ups. Everyone was trying their best to smile and not offend the young man, for he was so random not even their queen knew what he was plotting next. First Heaven as they know it might not even exist tomorrow for all they knew.

The unpredictable movement that Lyon made them wonder how could a woman keep up with his wild action, let alone two.

Lyon swallowed his food before he asked amidst cutting the meat on his plate, "Anyway, where is Alchemy Union located?"

The queen and the princesses abruptly stopped their utensils from moving as they paused and looked at the young man with bewildered faces. Meanwhile, Ivy subtly furrowed her brows.

"Huh?" Lyon didn't bother to look up as he leered left and right dumbfoundedly. "D-Did I say something dumb?"

"N-No," Wanda smiled. "Lyon, didn't you say that you know Elize?"

"Yeah, but she didn't tell me where the hell is that union even located, she just said to take the exam or something,"

*Clank!

"What?!" Wanda dropped the utensil on top of her plate with a loud clank. The others were as surprised as hers except for those that knew who Lyon was.

"Y-you… were told by the Elize Growthort, to take their exam?! said the queen of the Sverine Kingdom.

"Yes? Why are you all acting so surprised, it's not a big deal right?" said Lyon before he put the beef wellington inside his mouth.

Cherie didn't blink as she looked at the young man beside her. "L-Lyon, do you know how big of an influence the Alchemy Union is?"

"No?" Lyon raised one of his eyebrows. "Is it really that big?"

"It is!" Hilde exclaimed "Their pills are extraordinary! They could change a fate of a person with one single pill."

"I see," Lyon nodded calmly.

"Lyon, are you going to visit the Alchemy Union?"

"Hm?" Lyon raised his brows. He took a glance at the woman called Ivy. Her cold figure and her cold eyes usually brought shivers to those who looked at them, but this time, it was different. The interest of the Alchemy Union somehow changed her gaze. 

Lyon smiled, "We, are going to visit the Alchemy Union, after all, it is one of the rewards."

Ivy showed a rare smile before she nervously muttered with her head down, "I-I see."

The matriarch smiled at her disciple.

"You want to buy drugs?" asked Lyon. "Hmm, never thought that you would be into that, I mean, I won't judge."

Ivy didn't deny his words with hers but rather with a cold chilling glare.

"Okay," Lyon immediately nodded in agreement before he quickly resumed eating.

Meanwhile, the queen was astonished as he looked at the young man that was responsible for the destruction of the two kingdoms. It was a moment ago that she affirmed the spatial magic brand belonged to the latter, now, he was actually being scouted by the Alchemy Union. 

(It seems like the further down I pred deep to his identity, I don't understand, how can he go unnoticed in the Mortal World? How is that even possible?) thought the queen as she looked at the young man.

Someone this magnificent was unheard of even in First Heaven. Furthermore, he was still young, even younger than her own daughter. It was unprecedented, but the one that made her wonder was, how can an ordinary young man without any special gift like Cecile, could grow exponentially to a frightening degree. She could only conclude that it was because of his parents, but Cecile would not disclose that information to her, and she lightly threatened her not to ask Lyon about it. The suspicious circumstances only itched her curiosity even more.

"When are we going to the Alchemy Union?" asked Lyon as his eyes landed on the next food.

They couldn't believe the disinterested look from Lyon's gaze. Everyone would be ecstatic from hearing that they would visit the Alchemy Union but for him, it seemed like nothing but a park for kids.

"The envoy from the Alchemy Union will pick us up the day after the fortune-teller comes, that's what usually happened," said Wanda before she sighed. "Though, I wonder what they would think seeing Afurnae like this."

"They would be surprised," answered Lumina flatly before she stabbed the food that Lyon was aiming. She squinted her eyes against him before she picked up the food from her plate.

(Jeez, women are scary when they are hungry) thought Lyon before he laughed inwardly.

The dinner continued fluently without any trouble. The calm atmosphere was unimaginable.. That some hours ago, Afurnae faced a terrible ordeal that deconstruct the balance of First Heaven, perhaps for good.
