Immediately after Alex said those words, silence descended; the others said nothing until Kuina opened her mouth and said.
''We understand, but the plan is risky; you might die; why not let us accompany you?"
Eris, Leon, Artemia nodded, but Alex smiled bitterly and shook her head.
''I would like to have you all with me, but it's impossible. Firstly because too many people would attract attention.''
Silveria nodded, the rest also nodded, his words not wrong; too many people would indeed attract attention, this mission did not need that. Only a few people were needed to infiltrate the Holy Crux empire, two people, three at best.
''Secondly, it is because of your status,'' Alex added; Leon and the others widened their eyes; they had forgotten about their status.
''Every one of you presents except for me Silveria, Noire and Alexandra are from noble origin, is to say you're either princess or princess of an empire, some are even the future ruler and empress.
So imagine what would happen if one of you were to sneak into the empire to save your friend. People will not think that you acted for good faith, trying to rescue a friend; they will say it was because you wish to spark a war; it was a provocation. While I'm no fan of politics, I know how scary it is.
Everything can be used against you; if used properly, the whole world would turn against you; imagine that you went over and found nothing because they knew you came and were prepared; not only did you fail, you would create problems for your empire. If not handled properly, it might create a problem.
Your identities are too sensitive, so no, please follow my arrangements and let everything else in my hand.''
Alex's words convinced Leon, Kuina, Eris, and Artemia. They had forgotten about their identities.
In the current situation, it would not help them much; instead, it would create a lot of problems if they went on a rescue mission because there was no way the Holy Crux empire would ever admit to having kidnapped Luna because it would cause them a lot of trouble, they would lose people's trust and might fall from their place as the second strongest empire.
Only the group present here knew that they really abducted Luna, and Alex's plan was perfect for rescuing Luna. While it presented a lot of danger, it was the most feasible plan in the short run because, by the time they mobilized the other empires to investigate, it would have been already too late.
''Don't worry, I'm free, I have no string, and most importantly. They must have anticipated my arrival and prepared a lot of countermeasures, for example, how to deal with my special ability to cancel magic. It is not an omnipotent ability; everything had its counterpart; my ability has it. They must be confident on winning.
If it was before I acquired the Eternal Chain, I might have failed, but not anymore. I would teach them a lesson they would never forget. At the same time, it will serve as a warning to the other empires and superpowers, do not mess with me, and I will not mess with you. Who do they think they are?"
The last words were said arrogantly and domineeringly; Leon and the others except for Silveria were shocked before they gulped; the current Alex gave them a pressure they could not put a word on. He might sound arrogant, but he has the right to be. When you possess what he has, you have the right to be arrogant. This is absolute arrogance; real arrogance it's when you can back it.
Currently, in the entire Mysthia, nobody is gifted as Alexander Kael Touch, nobody, not only he had a monstrous mana réservoir, he possessed a unique Gift, to top it he just acquired a second Gift, maybe in the higher worlds, some people possessed a second Gift but not in Mysthia.
Not in their then thousands years of history, if this goes out it will create such uproar that some might feel like crying, every organization, every empire would want to have Alex under them because such individual is what people call only one in thousands of years, he was unique and unique individual has the right to be arrogant.
''Okay, we understand. We will follow your arrangements. Please be careful in there. You only have one life. It's good to be a hero saving the damsel in distress, but only when you stay alive does it has a meaning. We have a lot of things to accomplish; we will dominate the universe together; Mysthia is but the first step.
I see bigger, my final goal is not here but elsewhere, and I want to go there with my friend, my brother, so please don't die.'' Leon did not hide his ambitions.
While others in the empire thought of him as their future emperor, his father thought; otherwise, he saw ambitions in his son's eyes, ambitions he was unable to accomplish in this world; it was not a secret; some emperor knew about the world door, some even wished to pass through it, but because they couldn't do it, they stopped, but this doesn't mean they would stop their children from trying, especially when appeared a group of otherworlders capable of crossing this door.
Not only the fallen gods could divine, but others could also as well.
Every time an otherworlder arrived in Mysthia, it was followed by a great change, and there was an important thing people of Mysthia had forgotten about but not those in power.
Otherworlders are the key for crossing over, so naturally, Alex and others' arrival had sparked an interest in those people; the problem is that only a selected few could pass the gates, so some of them opted for their children to use this opportunity to pass through the gate.
''Don't worry, I will not die. Mysthia is the first step. We will leave this world together.'' Alex promised, and Leon smiled. After chatting for a while, Leon, Kuina, and Eris left secretly.
Only Artemia, Lilith stayed behind. Silveria dragged Noire and Gracier out.
