NOVEL NEXT Chapter 43: The Brotherhood !
DBZ World, Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Little kids were standing in rows as excitement and thrill could be seen in their faces. For today as Madame C.C declared, in this weird white Room, they were about to meet the Emperor himself.
The Mighty Emperor who seemed like an invincible deity in the eyes of his people. They were told that if they came here, they could serve him directly.
Are they going to be cleaning? Are they going to be serving? They all wondered…
The scars of the war, losing their parents, everyone they held dear, is deeply engrained in each of their very soul. Still they were looking forward to meet the Monarch who valiantly destroyed their enemies.
Suddenly, a Blue Door suddenly opened up, one silhouette after the other came out of it. C.C in the front raw lightly smiled:
'So that's it, his 'dream staff'.'
Finally the figure they've been waiting for appeared as excited face could be seen on all the presents here! Behind him two beautiful ladies, one jade beauty who seemed like a fairy gracing the world, the other like a fiery succubus, electrifying at each step.
He slowly stopped in his tracks seeing the worship and awe in each of their faces, he felt his heart about to bleed:
'You are looking at me like that, yet…I am the one who couldn't protect your loved ones. What a shameful person I am, to even receive your gratitude.'
Shahrazad and Roygun by his sides could see the little sadness in their Emperor's eyes. They both looked at each other with a saddened gaze. After Euphemia became the link between the Empire and the Alliance, she had the chance to visit the Belphegor Territory. Roygun then decided to throw a tea party for all the women of the Higher Ups in the Empire and the Underworld.
It was then that Shahrazad and Roygun got to bond, as the clearly drunk devil kept complaining about how the Emperor didn't even call her after the 'incident', worrying that she may have been a burden on him. Shahrazad laughed as hearing those complaints reminded her of the childhood she had with her Sister Kosem:
"Do not worry, If his majesty gives his heart he would never take it back. This is actually one of his weaknesses and the think I love the most about him."
Roygun got immediately flustered:
"His.. He-Heart!!"
Shahrazad continued:
"He is probably a little ashamed. He thought he found a good solution, and he promised you too, but things derailed and he let his temper even worsen the situation."
Roygun smiled warmly:
"So that's why~
-Yes, he is still pretty timid with these kinds of things."
She had a seductive smile as she said:
-Oh,my~ So cute~
Shahrazad got a little eager, as she finally had someone to share her majesty's cute side with her :
-He is, isn't he?! Actually, I have a good idea if you want to spend time with his Majesty…"
They kept talking as Shahrazad shared the history of Marek, how he acts, ect…Bonding and becoming like sisters in the process.
The Emperor looked over again memorizing each of their faces.
Zeno, Garp and Yoruichi had solemn gazes. They could see the great concern the Emperor had for each one of these kids.
And surprising everyone....
He Bowed!
Something an Emperor should never do!
"First of all, Even if it won't bring back your loved ones, I apologize deeply on behalf of the Imperial Family for all your sufferings. You have lost parents, uncles, grandparents and that's my Imperial's Family greatest sin to date. A sin I will repent for, for the rest of my life. You are the descendants of those who followed our Imperial Family into exode, a millenium ago. We have failed you. There is no other words. "
All the softhearted kids had little tears in their eyes, as the girls started immediately crying.
"From now on, I would like you to watch with your own eyes, the future I am about to build."
His face then changed again as he smiled:
"And I want you all to build it with me. I gathered you all here to live and learn and spend your life with us. I want you to laugh, love and hate here. I want you to grow here, with us by your side."
He made a short pause as an ambitious smile appeared on his face:
"And to become strong with us."
"I brought you the greatest instructors I could find. They will make you strong, brave and courageous. The greatest warriors one could dream off. Ones who don't flinch in front of any obstacle, ones who protect what needs to be protected, ones who fight for their own ideals and country."
"They will make you so that no one could take anything from you anymore."
All the kids had they heart beating wildly as their blood boiled and their eyes turned moist.
'To think his Majesty will spend this much time with us!! All that just to make us strong!
He opened his arms widely as he said:
"I want you to be to grow to be the shade that cover this Empire's.
This Empire's soul,
This Empire's eyes,
And this Empire's dagger.
Throught the years and the multiverse you will be known to many under many nicknames.
The Hidden Ones.
Those whose names can't be spoken,
The Order,
The Brotherhood…
All of you will be a family from now on and we will be your Mentors.
For you will become….
The ASSASIN'S ORDER!!!"
Yoruichi nodded:
'So he can be nice too, huh. He actually cares deeply about each of the 50000 kids present her. Now,
Let's see if those kids can take it! '
Garp looked at those kids determined eyes:
'No matter what happens next! I will at least respond to their determination! With my fist of Love!'
Zeno Zoldyck narrowed his eyes:
'Homeless, determined and young, well they at least fit the profile of an Assassin. The Assassin order, huh. I would need to make them stronger so Killua can train with them, too. Good rivals will only make him grow.'
The Emperor then narrowed his eyes:
"If any of you don't want live this kind of life, please tell me so. I garentee, you will live good lives as citizens."
No one raised his hands. Marek nodded at C.C.
'Good kids, at least they are not afraid of work!'
"Let's start!"
