“It’s about your assassin identity, The Executor.”
Liam’s eyes widened in shock. Though he knew his identity would be revealed at some point, he couldn’t believe it had happened so quickly. He looked a little panicked, and it showed on his face, but he said nothing.
Graham Novius looked at him with a calm and neutral gaze despite noticing the reaction of Liam. He continued
“I’ve been observing you since the time you killed your little brother. Do you think I would buy your excuse of saying he ran away? As soon as you tampered with his phylactery to leave him no means to stay alive, I had known your plans. Anyway, your little brother is alive and well now. Though he poisoned you, I do not think his crime was so serious for him to get killed.
After that, you went on to slaughter many for a whole year and you are doing it currently with your assassin identity too. I do not know the reason why you are doing it, nor do I want to know. I just have an advice for you.
Do not mess with the people you are not supposed to.”
Liam had a cold sweat on his back. He was shaking in fear and panick as almost all of his secrets have been out. He thought his father doted on him and gave him permission to do anything but it didn’t seem to be the case. He was more shrewd than Liam thought of him as. Only now did he realise how cunning an Emperor rank could be and how smart the people at the top of the world are.
He was just a little relieved and thankful that his identity as a reincarnist hasn’t been out. He tried to calm himself down and looked at his father and said in a hoarse voice
“U-understood.”
Graham looked at Liam and said in the same calm tone
“Another thing, try not to embarass the Novius family any more than you already have and I still think highly of you so do not disappoint me any further either. You may leave.”
Liam didn’t say anything else and left after giving a nod to his father. While walking outside and going to his room he cursed in his mind for being so stupid and underestimating an Emperor who rules over such a big nation.
He shook his head and gave up thinking more about this topic as it would only serve to give him a headache. The solution to such a problem was just to embarass the family and this problem occurred due to the Vampire Prince. His hatred for him had increased and he was more determined to take his revenge once academy started. He went to his room while having these thoughts and started planning for the future events.

Lenz City, Espat.
Inside a small room of an average hotel.
A teen was sitting on a chair and fiddling around with a small black screen. He had a proud look while playing around with it. While he was doing this, unbeknownst to him, magical energy of space and time elements were fluctuating all around him.
These fluctuations were very minute and only someone of a very high rank would be able to detect it, given that they were in the vicinity of it. After a few minutes, the fluctuations stopped abruptly.
The space-time distorted and a vortex of these two elements started forming. The vortex was not very big, only around the size of the teen’s fist. It didn’t create too much of a disturbance in the surrounding as the magical energy change around the vortex was almost negligible.
Soon, out of this vortex, a glitter blue ball of light shot out at a very high speed towards the boy.
As it hit him, the boy felt a sharp pain in his head.
“AHHHHH!’
He yelled in pain and fell from his chair, onto the floor. He held his head while his body was squirming on the ground and gave out painful cries constantly.
Teardrops fell down his shut eyelids and after a few moments, a menacing glint shone upon his Abyss like black eyes, resurfacing the wake of chaos. With a determined gaze, he muttered
“Evure God Clan.”
…..
Few hours before.
Royal Castle, Nightingale.
Lilith had both of her arms wrapped around her two children. She held them in her embrace and was watching tv with them. Lith and Lucy also laid comfortably in their mother’s embrace and watched the tv show along with her.
Suddenly, magical energy of space and time elements started fluctuating violently. Lilith noticed this and got up instantly from the bed. She cast a barrier around the bed to keep Lucy and Lith safe.
Lucy and Lith too felt the violent fluctuations around of space and time but they didn’t understand the exaggerated reaction of their mother. Nevertheless, they stayed in place and didn’t try to disturb or interfere into whatever their mother was doing. The looked at her with a curious gaze.
Lilith felt such a situation to be very strange. The energy which was generating the elemental fluctuations was extremely powerful, and she had never seen or encountered any creature with such a powerful energy. What struck her as odd about this was that this powerful energy gave her a sense of familiarity, as if it belonged to her, despite the fact that she knew this was something far more powerful than her and she shouldn’t feel a sense of belonging to it.
The violent fluctuations stopped abruptly and a vortex of space and time started forming. The vortex was as big as Lilith herself and out of it shot out a silver beam of light at a very high speed. It was so fast that Lith and Lucy couldn’t even see it coming out or traveling towards their mother.
Lilith thought of dodging it and isolating the beam first but the beam didn’t give out any sense of threat to her. It made her feel comfortable around it’s presence and the sense of belonging she was feeling before only intensified as the beam traveled more and more towards her. She therefore didn’t dodge the beam and let it come at her.
This silver beam, even if it caused problems, it could be solved easily, she thought along those lines and had confidence in herself for getting out of any tricky situation that may occur. So, she let it come at her and the silver beam shot towards Lilith’s forehead and disappeared out of existence. The vortex too disappeared and the fluctuations of elemental energies stabilized and everything returned to normal.
Lucy and Lith only felt the fluctuations, then saw a vortex appearing and disappearing instantly and everything going back to normal. They then looked at their mother and she seemed to have closed her eyes and had a calm face and seemed to be comprehending or understanding something. They sat down where they were and didn’t disturb her once again.
Lilith felt a little sting in her head but it wasn’t painful or harmful to her. It only tickled her a bit. Soon, she opened her eyes and with an amused smile on her face, muttered softly
“Evure God Clan.”

After feeling a sharp pain and then going through a myriad of emotions, the black haired teen now tried to get up from the ground and sit back on the chair. But as he got up, his brain blanked out and all of a sudden a string of words started manifesting in his mind along with a cold mechanical voice
