Reborn With The All Seeing Eye

"Kill him?"

Aaron asked in mild surprised.

"Is there a problem? We know you're always after justice, but, can't you see it? This is just--"

Aura stopped seeing Aaron's raised hand.

"When did I say I won't do it? I'm just surprised... So tell me, you want to give him a straight death, or a painful one?" Aaron asked in a flat tone, relaxing on his seat.

The two sisters looked at one another in mild surprised. Aaron agreeing to help was surprising to them.

"What?!" Aaron asked in mild confusion.

"Nothing, I thought you won't want to help us." Angela said in a low voice.

"Why would I do that? I told your father I'll look after you."

"But... There must be a reason you're doing all this, can we know that reason?" Angela asked.

'So smart.'

Aaron nodded with a smile, and sat upright... His face serious.

"As you know, I have my kingdom, known as Terra... If you want my complete help, you'll have to turn your Empire into my Vassal state."

"What? If we do that, won't that make us a normal Kingdom? Our title as an Empire will be removed, and given to Terra... We'll technically be under you." Aura said, not liking the idea.

"Hey, I'm not forcing you... As you already know, they're a lot of people out there who are after the throne. And by a lot, I mean hundreds... And half of them are stronger than you two combined... I'm not pressuring you or anything, I'm just saying the fact." He relaxed his back on his seat.

Aura and Angela looked at one another, and turned to Aaron.

"Yeah, Yeah... I know." Aaron stood up, and walked towards the door, he stopped, and looked at the girls.

"You haven't answered my question, how do you want him dead?"

The two looked at one another, and turned to Aaron:

"We don't know."

They said in unison.

Aaron just nodded at them, and disappeared from the room.

"What should we do, Aura? Is it the best thing to do? I mean, Become his vassal state." Angela asked, her face dark.

"I don't know, but father asked us to protect the Empire... What if we become his allies?" Aura suggested, turning to her sister.

"If we're allies, he'll only help us if we're in time of war, or food shortage... He won't help us in personal matters, like this throne issue.... But if we're his vassal state, he'll take care of us, but... We'll answer to him." Angela explained.

"Hmm... This is confusing! If we submit, our empire will be known as a Kingdom, and we'll be his vassal state, not only that, most of the lands will belong to him... What if he attack us one day, and take over? Look, he's the child of the sky, or whatever... But we don't know his character, or how he's like."

"Trust me, you won't understand even if I showed you my life on a piece of white paper."

"Huh?"

The two looked up, seeing Aaron walking towards them.

"I... I thought you--"

"--Yeah, Your Commander is dead, and the council or senators as they called themselves won't trouble you anymore."

He walked towards them, and sat down; staring at the two.

"Oh, if you become my Vassal state; I'll take care of you, and... Don't be so scared, I don't want any of your lands or anything... I just need your cooperation."

"Cooperation, for what?" Angela asked.

Aaron moved his gaze around, and asked instead:

"Where Is the cake? If this is my birthday, there must be cake."

Aura pointed her finger at a cake placed on a table.

Aaron turned his head around, seeing the cake. He stood up, walked towards it and picked it up.

"Ok." He sat down, and looked at the two.

"What was your question again?" He asked, taking a full spoon of cake.

"Why are we cooperating?" Angela asked.

"Oh!"

Aaron nodded and placed the cake in his mouth, slowly testing it.

"You know, it has been a long time I ate a cake." He said.

'True, In my lives, I only eat a cake maybe twice.' He thought, and turned to the girls:

"You know, Kara. Right?" He asked.

The two frowned, which caused him to laugh.

"Ok. Ok. Ok... Kara is the one responsible for the monsters raid starting tomorrow, and I suspect the Skull are behind this..." He placed down the spoon, and fixed his gaze on them.

"Not everyone knows this, but... The Grand Priests are all dead."

"WHAT?!!!"

The two girls yelled in shock.

BAM!

The door opened, and the five soldiers rushed in, they moved their gazes around in mild confusion, their hands on the hilt of their swords.

"Princesses, what happened?" A soldier asked.

"Yes, What happened?" Aaron asked, staring at the two.

The girls took a deep breath and exhaled... Angela turned to the soldiers, while Aura sat down.

"It's nothing, Our friend just surprised us with his family's situation." She said, sitting down.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The soldiers looked at one another, and nodded at her...

"Ok, Princess."

The men nodded, looked at Aaron's back for some seconds, and walked out from the room, closing the door.

"You really have good guards." Aaron said, eating his cake.

"What do you mean by the priests are dead? Who killed them?" Angela asked in a whisper.

"Skull, and I suspect Kara is working for them, or maybe she's the mastermind... That's what I haven't figured out, I want to know her background in this, how is she related to Skull, or maybe she's their boss hiding in plain sight?" Aaron asked, his gaze focused on the cake.

"So... If she's working with them, why would she pretend all this while, and even build the academy? What's her goal?" Aura asked in mild confusion.

"I don't know for now... All I know is, her plan is related to the academy, and the children in it..."

The two girls were getting even more confused.

"So is that the reason father took us away?" Aura asked, turning her head to Angela.

"I don't think your father knew about this, hmm... So what do you girls say?" He asked, changing the subject.

"Ok, I accept." Explore more at empire

Aura, who Aaron expected to disagree was actually the one who agreed.

"Are you sure about this Aura?" Angela asked.

"We need Aaron's help, and assistant... If we want to live, and fulfill Dad's last wish, that's what we need to do."

Angela nodded, and turned to Aaron:

"We accept on one condition."

'Oh? She still has a condition?'

He thought, and nodded at her:

"You'll protect us wherever we're in anger."

"Princess Angela, I'm an Emperor, not some babysitter... So why will I dedicate all my time looking after you?"

"You have a point, ok, you'll assist us whenever we're in danger."

Aaron raised an eyebrow.

'Isn't that the same request? This girl is really smart.'

"Angela, Aura. What about this...? I'll leave some of my soldiers with you, and they'll alert me of any dangers.... But that didn't mean, they'll be with you 24/7... You need to be on guard, always... As you know, your kingdom is filled with crooks, and even those after the throne, who'll stop at nothing to have it... I can help you with these type of people, but you need to also help yourselves... Do you accept this?"

Angela turned her head to Aura, who nodded at her... She then turned back to Aaron:

"Ok, we accept." Angela said.

"Good."

Aaron pushed the empty plate to the side, and looked at the two.

"One last thing to do."

He drew two alliance circles, and past it towards the two girls.

"Place your hands on it... That way, you'll be able to call for mine, or any of my Lord's help."

The two nodded, and placed their hands on the circles, which shattered and entered their bodies.

"It's done." Aaron said, relaxed, and added:

"In 3, 2, 1... Now."

BAM!

The door was pushed opened, and a soldier walked inside, and bowed... Although it wasn't genuine, he still did it.

"My princesses, The King is dead... We just got the news, that said he died in his room... And the soldiers are still looking for the cause of his death."

The two girls stood up in shock:

"WHAT?!!"

They exclaimed in surprise.

'Wow, these sisters are good... I think they'll win an acting contest.' Aaron thought.

"Sorry, But it seems we'll have to get going... Happy birthday, again." Aura said, staring at Aaron.

"Should I come along? I might help." Aaron said, turning his head to the soldier.

"Ok, the party is over anyway... Come on." With that, Aaron followed the group out.

[In the Carriage heading to the castle.]

"Aaron, how did you do it?" Aura asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing serious, He killed himself." Aaron answered.

"Killed himself? I'm confused." Angela was puzzled by Aaron's answer.

"It's nothing, I just made him kill himself." Aaron said, even confusing the girls more.

"HOW?"

They asked in unison.
