Chapter 2721 Could Not Come to Know

BANG!

Almost the instant the Emberheart Lord returned to his Palace, it felt as though all hell broke loose. If not for the protective formations around everything, it was likely that the palace would have been razed to the ground at that very moment.

He couldn't even believe what had just happened. Everything was in hand in one moment, and in the next, it had all slipped through their fingers.

How did the humans have such a hidden expert? And why were they just magically present?

"Shut down all the teleportation platforms. I don't want a single fly escaping the Ma'at Bubble today."

The Emberheart Lord took a breath and forced himself to calm down. He strolled into his royal bedroom and sent his wife away before he pulled out a communication orb and contacted the Moonstone Lord who he had already "expelled" from this world.

The Moonstone Lord responded instantly, a brewing fury practically coming out in palpable waves, but despite what had happened, neither of them were actually enraged toward one another.

Obviously, they were brothers in the truest of senses, and the Moonstone Lord knew that if the Emberheart Lord hadn't acted like he did, they would have both been pulled down from their positions. At that point, the situation would be unsalvageable.

"We will avenge Thalion, brother. I already have the Bubble locked down, he won't be able to go anywhere."

The Moonstone Lord grit his teeth, but eventually took a breath and exhaled in an attempt to control his emotions.

"Do not do anything rash, even if it means letting this person escape, it's better to do that than to bring you into this mess.

"The people aren't fools. Most will suspect how I was somehow able to hide such a large formation from you and build it under your nose. Even if they believe it, they might think you incompetent. If you also force the issue and kill him on my behalf, it will cause problems."

"It will be difficult now. Before, we had a good excuse to meld our two Bubbles together, but without the Humans as a catalyst, it will be difficult."

The Emberheart Lord sighed. "This is all because of our Ancestors, we should have been brothers long ago if they didn't insist on separating us like this."

"It was a necessity. Only by creating two independent Pure Bloodlines could we then benefit from melding them together. If we grew together, it's hard to say if we'd even have the chance."

"Yes, but the process of keeping us separate has alienated our people from one another and it has made the integration difficult. If we integrate too forcefully now, it will lead to internal conflict and trouble. If the tensions are too high, then it will have the opposite effect and rather than the population intermarrying like we would hope, they might draw even fiercer lines of division.

"Today's gaff makes that worse. I don't even know if we'll have another opportunity for another several hundred years."

"There's still a chance," the Moonstone Lord said softly. "If we play our cards right, we can reverse the situation and blame everything on the human from today. We can highlight my sacrifice and save ourselves while pushing the responsibility onto his shoulders.

"But we need to first capture him in an above board manner.

"We might also need to contact that person."

The Emberheart Lord paused for a moment and then nodded. This was, indeed, a chance.

The two Lords clenched their fists.

This was what they had to do to erase the past...

The world could not come to know that the Spirituals had descended from Humans.
