Chapter 197 - Do

"Do you remember that day where you were kidnapped for the first time? Well I mean there's not really a point in asking as it was quite the event which should've left quite the impact on you. As such, you should be able to remember nearly every part of it. The one which is most important is when the old man opened several portals and dropped all of the books as well as tools he has with him into those portals. Now tell me Julius, what do you think happened to all of those materials which were dropped into the empty void?" Duke-Drake asked Julius.

"Well shouldn't it be pretty simple? I mean he looked so worried so my guess is that he destroyed them all by pouring all of those experiments into that portal. My hypothesis is that he wanted to destroy them all before anyone else could find them and discover what he was planning. To be completely honest, I've always believed that the pill he gave me that day was supposed to kill me or to make me an enemy of my father. Well when I think about it now, maybe that really was the purpose of the pill. However I doubt it as I still have complete control over my body meaning that I'm not being controlled. Nevertheless, I believe that those portals are a trashing system which the old man used to cover up his trails," Julius replied as he thought that his answer was the one which Duke-Drake was looking for.

"You're mistaken," said Duke-Drake which brought out a disappointed face in Julius which quickly turned into that of curiosity as he wanted to know what the real purpose of the pill he was given as well as the real power of the portals were.

"The pill which was given to you wasn't so that you could be sabotaged later in life. In fact, that's couldn't be any further from the truth as the pill itself was the thing which gave you all this extra power. Without it, you would have been nothing but a normal child. You would still be training under Jun so that you could some day become the king of the kingdom which your father rules over. So I'm all truth, the pill was the cause of the war you're about to be in. However do not mistake it and see it as a negative as if you hadn't started this conflict with your father, things could have gone very wrong. Although you might see yourself as the villain in this case due to how many people are fighting against you but that's not the truth. You're the only person who's actually willing to go so far for the lives of others, no matter their wealth. If you win this war, you'll have control over all the kingdoms and the people of the dark district will be able to live in a world where they don't have to ask themselves if they'll be able to eat every day. You're the hero Julius," Duke-Drake reassured Julius.

"Now I must get back to the main topic at hand, that being the portals. The portals which the old man who forced you to swallow the pill created weren't trash cans but instead a storage system much like the ring you received after you cleared the dungeon which you spent 3 years inside. However this one being on a lesser scale. The ring which you were given comes from the heavens which is much better than anything which we could produce in this world. Nevertheless, the portal storage system which the old man used had a specific use. That being to store things which you'll need," Duke-Drake told Julius.

"'That I'll need'? How would he know that? It's not like he could read the future or anything," Julius said as he thought that Duke-Drake was bluffing.

"Well that would be correct. The old man wasn't capable of actually seeing the future. However that doesn't mean that he didn't know the future," Duke-Drake stated to Julius which just confused the prince which was now the king of his very own kingdom.

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?" Julius asked in utter confusion.

"It means that while he wasn't able to see into the future himself, he knew what would take place. That being a large war between Henry and you. Of course you might still be wondering how this is possible. The simple answer is that that old man comes from a family which for 200 years and been planning to stop Henry. Even before he was born, there were plans being made to get rid of him.

The major problem was there was no way to actually reach him as his family was already the king and queen of the kingdom. As such can there would be a large number of guards always at the ready to defend him. Not that it would matter since all that the family which planned to kill Henry needed to do was to rely on the plan which was passed on to them by the first person in their family to start the plan. If you couldn't tell by now, the first person in their family was the one who saw into the future and predicted what Henry planned to do. As such, he used his precognition abilities to create a plan all to stop him. That being that he needed to control the events which would take place for several years so that everything would line up properly and he would be able to rest in peace knowing that he saved the world. One thing I should mention is that if you haven't also realized, the plan which the first person in the family was based upon you being the person to defeat Henry. The pill, you learning all the secret arts, me, all of these things were planned ahead of time.. The only one which wasn't planned was you ascending into the heavens however it works out for both sides so there's no reason to complain," said Duke-Drake as he began to explain to Julius the history of the world.
