BXBX NOVEL Chapter 72: What Lies Within those Memories?
In his dreams, Altron saw how the scenario changed from the usual trial courtroom of the Stellarus Empire where the adult Ezekiel was being held and presented in the trial court and all sorts of accusations pinned on him over and over again.
However, right now, it changed from the trial court to the familiar quarters from the Marquis Chevalier household, the quarters far away from the main household.
The quarters of the deceased Lady Aryan Asterrix, Ezekiel\'s biological mother.
\'What is this now? Another future event or memory?\'
< ….. "Isn\'t it obvious that it\'s a future event that would take place? Look at him carefully and analyze what he was saying! Tsk!" ... >
That voice again. That mysterious voice who wouldn\'t bother to tell who they were and just talked about everything as if that voice knew everything.
< ….. "Of course, I know. Tsk! Do you think these scenarios are just there without reason and just let you just watch it without understanding it? I told you before, analyze the truth and make a better judgement for everything that you can see. Use your intelligence." ….. >
Altron, who was sick and tired of everything that\'s happening and just wanted to, at least, get some rest for a while and think of a way to locate his missing youngest brother who were reported to be missing during his journey to attend his second year at the academy.
"As much as I wanted to analyze these scenarios within my dreams, or much rather, I can tell that this might be one of my future memories that I don\'t know why this happens!"
Altron shouted around him in frustration, and he knew that mysterious voice won\'t directly answer his questions but only drop some vague information that he, himself, having a hard time to think straight because of everything that stressed him out of it.
\'How can I think straight when there are loads of problems that pinned into my head everyday and when I took over the temporary position for the household, I don\'t know what to do first and then!\'
The First Young Master concluded that the scenarios that appeared within his realm of dreams are not just normal dreams anymore but rather, he concluded that those are his future fragmented memories.
Actually, none of those people within the Stellarus Empire nor even the Royal family knew the true nature of the Chevalier household\'s bloodline.
< ….. "So, you finally admitted it? Tsk! Just go on within these memories and see it for yourself about the truth based on your analyzation." ….. >
\'Can\'t you just shut the f*ck up already?! I\'m trying to, okay?!\'
He thought as he let out his frustrations because he didn\'t know if that mysterious voice was helping him or just wanted to annoy the hell out of him.
< ….. "Are you losing your composure right now? Please don\'t be like that or you\'ll end up just like your future self though." ….. >
Altron took a deep breath as he tried to calm himself but there are times that he feels like he needs to let out his frustrations so it wouldn\'t pent up inside him.
"Are you not getting tired of attacking me with those words alone? It seems to me that you\'re a bitter person for some reasons that I don\'t know as you just keep attacking me like that."
The First Young Master just hypothesized about the mysterious voice\'s personality because every time that mysterious voice would speak out of nowhere, it seems that this person likes to annoy the hell out of him.
Altron heard a snorted tone coming from that voice and also snickered back at him.
< ….. "Feeling frustrated? Now you know what it feels to be left alone with so many questions unanswered, but you should feel elevated since most of your unanswered questions would soon be revealed…." …. >
Altron noticed that the mysterious voice halted its sentence as there was a pause but minutes later, that mysterious voice continued and the question it gives is something the First Young Master wouldn\'t hesitate to answer.
< ... "Are you ready to face the whole truth that lies beneath the shadows that\'s lurking within your youngest little brother? However, it will only tell you part of the truth but not everything… yet." ….>
When he heard that mysterious voice questioned him, Altron said with determination written on his face; "Yes, I will accept everything and to know at least about our younger half-sibling\'s fate in this world."
After he declared those words, Altron heard a chuckling sound coming from the mysterious voice and said its final words.
< ….. "In that case…. I\'ll accompany you throughout the ordeal and I shall be the witness then." ….. >
*THUD!
He stumbled on the ground as he felt dizzy for a moment and his eyesight became blurred for a moment.
\'What in the world….\'
"Argh!"
He tried to fight his will not to faint in the slightest thing but not matter how much he tried into, it all went for a naught as he felt his body become numb and he couldn\'t feel his body anymore.
< ….. "Sweet dreams, for now. Until then, as you ventured throughout this memory lane and unlock the secrets within it, I am sure that from then on, you won\'t make the same mistake as your future counterpart…. I mean, like myself, eh." …. >
\'What do you mean….\'
Before he could ask, everything went blank.
...…

................
≤ .... "You\'re nothing but a disgrace to this very household because of your commoner\'s blood running through your veins!" ….. ≥
\'Who was that?\'
Altron groaned but he couldn\'t open his eyes yet because it felt like something stuck on his eyelids that wouldn\'t open it.
≤ ... "How dare you harm [her] like this?! Aren\'t you a bit ashamed of what you have done? You insolent half-breed! DIE!" …. ≥
\'Those voices…. They were familiar and yet unfamiliar at the same time…. Also, who\'s [her] by the way?\'
He struggled for a bit as he tried to open his eyes to see what those sorts of scenarios were flashing around him but no matter how much he tried to struggle up, he couldn\'t open his eyes but could only hear those voices around him.
\'How am I supposed to analyze everything if I couldn\'t see it?!\'
< ... "You said it yourself before, none of the people within the Stellarus Empire nor even the Royal family knew the true nature of the Chevalier household\'s bloodline. Why not unleashed it here and make a use of it?" ….. >
\'H-how did you….\'
His thoughts were halt for a moment when Altron heard a snorted sound coming from that voice and said; < …. "You truly haven\'t thought about of who really, I am, eh? What a shame but no worries since you will get the bottom of this matter… soon…" >
\'Well, that really helps a lot, you know!\'
Altron thought sarcastically as he tried his best to open his eyes but after that, it still all went for a naught and just sighed to himself and waited for what happened next.
≤ ... "It\'s Ezekiel\'s fault! I-I tried to stop him but he still went for it! He betrayed us all! He is nothing but a spy from another Empire!" …. ≥
\'An unfamiliar woman\'s voice. Who is that? Why do I feel irritated and anger at the same time just hearing that voice? I haven\'t met this woman, right?\'
< …. "You haven\'t, well, in the current timeline thought. You haven\'t met that woman yet but, in another timeline, you have." ….. >
He felt frustrated because he couldn\'t watch these scenarios in his own eyes for him to see but judging from those voices alone, he had a bad feeling that it won\'t be that good.
≤ ….. "I thought you will never do that, Ezekiel. What happened? Why did you do it? I-I thought…. This is wrong! Your obsession for acceptance leads you to your ruin! Forgive me as I don\'t have a choice but to surrender you and hope that you gain repentance for your sins!" ... ≥
\'That voice again! The one who accused Ezekiel for treason! Who is she? If I could just open my eyes and watch these scenarios for me to understand….\'
His thoughts were cut off for a moment when a snicker came from that mysterious voice once more.
≤ …. "There is no need for you to watch. Remember what you said before. None of the people within the Stellarus Empire, even the Royal family don\'t have any idea about the true nature of the Chevalier\'s bloodline. Try to unleash it and see it for yourself." ...… ≥
He didn\'t argue back as he called forth the hidden nature of their family\'s bloodline powers.
As he called forth and unleash the power hidden within bloodline powers of the Chevaliers, without opening his eyes, images after images went over through his head as if someone assaulted him in full force.
"Argh…!"
After some time had passed, Altron could now watch those scenarios without opening his eyes because right now, the hidden nature of their bloodline is now released, and the mysterious voice chuckled because of the success.
< ….. "Now, you have awakened, —" ... >
