Chapter 70 - The Palace Of The Foxes

-The Palace of the Mermaids-

Vincent Greyrat slowly opened his eyes. Hard enough, as if he had closed his eyes for years.

Beside him stood his beloved grandmother, the Mermaid Queen. On the other hand, Vin also saw the figure of his cousin, Mermaid Sharon.

And maybe some other Gods. Right now, Vin's vision was still a bit blurry. Vin had a hard time recognizing who the Gods were in the room.

"Where am I, Grandma?" said Vin, quietly. It was clear from his tone that Vin was still very weak.

"Rest, My Grandson! You're in the Mermaid Palace right now, Vin," said the Mermaid Queen while gently stroking Vin's head.

Vin was silent for a moment, as if Vin thought of something.

"How is this possible, Grandma?" Vin woke up instantly when Vin remembered something.

"I still clearly remember that I was in Fotia State Palace before. Then how did I get here, Grandma?"

"Calm down, Vin! It was Prince Schneider who brought you here. You were injured then, my grandson." The Mermaid Queen spoke.

"Yes, I remember, Grandma. Felius was the one who persuaded me to take the antidote to the Soul Burning Fruit at Fotia Palace. The medicine for Brother Gil. But, they lied, Grandma! They framed me, and ...." Vin paused.

For a moment, Vin looked at his hands. "Yes, King Feu'er has absorbed all of my energy, Grandma. But, why am I not hurt or hurt at all? In fact, I feel stronger than before. What happened, Grandma?" Vin asked, confused. He could feel the spiritual power coursing through his veins. Vin feels very strong and energized right now.

"The most important thing is that you are healthy, My Grandson. Get some rest!" said the Mermaid Queen. The Mermaid Queen kissed her grandson's forehead, before she finally left the room.

Mermaid Sharon also approached Vin and gently patted her cousin's shoulder.

"Calm down, Vin! Everything will be fine." Mermaid Sharon spoke softly. She tried her best to calm her cousin down.

Vin is really confused at this time, there is something strange about the attitude of grandmother and all the gods in the room.

***

A woman is walking gracefully in the hustle and bustle of Beijing. Every eye is watching her. Her appearance was so strange. The woman was wearing a long dress and a light purple fur coat.

Well, she was the woman who appeared from Sifeng's painting earlier. Suddenly a dog ran towards her. The woman ran as fast as she could until she collided with a handsome man, with long red hair. They rolled down onto the lower side of the garden.

***

-The Palace of the Foxes-

A woman is entertaining her male guest. They look very familiar.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect to meet you in the park, my son. Mother ran away from the dog at that time," said the beautiful woman, who was dressed in a white fox fur coat.

"Hahaha, even now I don't believe that you are my mother. This feels like a dream, Mother. I have never seen your mother's beautiful face in my entire life," said the First Prince of Fotia, Zarius Schneider.

The woman pursed her lips. "My prince! You want the mother of magic to be a black stone for disobedience, huh?" said the woman with a threatening look, but after a moment she laughed.

"Hahaha, you really are no different from your father," continued the woman.

"Mother, how did you recognize me right away? Even in my 250 years of life, I have never recognized my mother." Zarius asked, curious. Honestly, even this moment Zarius still doesn't believe it. Zarius felt between happy and confused.

The woman stood up from her seat, she approached her only son. The son she had even abandoned for hundreds of years.

"I gave birth to you, My Son. The instinct is still there. And again, this is the necklace your mother gave you when you were a baby," said the woman, pointing to the necklace worn by Prince Zarius.

The necklace that Prince Zarius wears is a necklace that has a 9-pointed star-shaped pendulum, there is a red gem in the middle.

"I really hope to meet your mother, when I find out that I am not the biological child of Concubine Alceena's mother. Yes, I was 100 years old at that time." Zarius spoke, recounting his experience.

"I am very happy that Alceena has taken good care of you. I am very grateful to her, even though she has sealed her in a painting for almost 250 years." The woman spoke. It was Zenko, the consort of King Feu'er. Zenko used to also have a complicated past with Lord Jack.

Hearing his mother seem to be praising Concubine Alceena, Zarius felt a little disapproving. Queen Zenko seemed to owe Concubine Alceena her life. In fact, what Zarius felt was not like that.

"Concubine Alceena's mother is not that kind, Mother. She always persuaded Felius and me to hate mother. She said, mother had left father because she wanted to be with the leader of the 3 Realms. She also treated him very differently.

"Concubine Alceena's mother often abused me and loved Felius more. If I had known the fact that I was not her biological son from the start, it would have been less painful. I can understand now why Concubine Alceena's mother hates me so much." Zarius spoke softly. His face was now even lowered, sad.

"Hnn... let it go, Zarius! Even though she hates you, the important thing is that he never kicked me out of the palace, right?" asked Queen Zenko.

Zarius shook his head. He did feel hated and treated unfairly. However, his stepmother never expelled Zarius from the palace. And it was luck for Zarius.

"Then, how do you react to Concubine Alceena's mother inciting us to hate you?" Zarius asked again.

"Ah, you don't have to think too much about it, My Son! Mother doesn't care about them anymore." Queen Zenko replied with a smile, pitiful.

"Don't you miss your husband? Believe me, father has been in a lot of pain! You thought that you were living with Lord Jack because of Mother Concubine Alceena's instigation. Therefore, father vented his anger by fighting the leader of the 3 realms, Lord Jack." Zarius tells what has happened in the last hundred years.

Queen Zenko was silent for a moment, the memories filled her memories again. Memories of meeting King Feu'er for the first time and all about King Feu'er.

Queen Zenko's eyes started to tear up, she looked up to hold back her tears. She didn't want to look weak in front of Zarius, her son.

"My son, you haven't told your mother, why are you in this human realm, huh?" said Queen Zenko trying to divert the conversation.

Zarius finally told his mother everything. From Zarius attacking mortals while in the Cave of Illusions, to being expelled for saving Vincent Greyrat.

-Tranmoz Royal Palace-

Vincent Greyrat had arrived at his mother's room. He got a message from an eagle sent by Glen Greyrat. King Glen Greyrat wrote a message to his younger brother, saying that their mother was injured due to Gilbert Greyrat's attack.

Vin is in one of the rooms, which is in this magnificent palace. Vin walked over to the bed, where Queen Eliz was lying. Vin is sitting on the edge of the bed now. Vin took Queen Eliz's hand and kissed his mother's hand, who was lying weakly on the bed.

"Mum, Vin is already here. So please wake up, Mum! I'm sorry, I can't protect you, Mother." Vin spoke softly, hoping his mother would wake up soon. However, Queen Eliz had yet to respond.

When they arrived at this palace, King Glen immediately told him that their mother was attacked by Gilbert. King Glen himself did not know why his brother attacked this palace.

After waiting for a long time, suddenly Vin's eyes turned sharp and full of anger. Vin clenched his fists.

"Gilbert Greyrat! I will never forgive you, Gil! No matter how good you are, I will eliminate you!!" Vin shouted, full of anger.

Vincent Greyrat was really angry to hear the story that even Gil had hurt their mother. Vin will accept if Gil injures Vin. However, Vin does not accept that Gil also attacks Queen Eliz, who is the mother of the three of them.

Unknowingly, Gil has been behind Vin. Don't know since when.

Gil appeared suddenly.

"Hoho ... someone is looking for me. Do you miss me that much, My Brother?" Gil asked, sounding like a mockery. Gil also displays a grin that looks so annoying. Gil's grin made Vin even more angry.

"Let's finish this at Sakura Hill, Gil Greyrat!!" Vin challenged his brother.

As fast as lightning they were at Sakura Hill at this time. They both teleport.

Sakura Hill which is always shrouded in thick fog is Gil and Vin's favorite place. The two of them often play in this place or just relax.

However, this place has now changed its function. Now this place seems to be a Civil War arena.

To be continued ....
