I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot-Chapter 1092: 17.19 Fourth Violet Star - The Second Prince, the Grand Marshal and Yara von Chrysalis I
The location for the Second Prince's meeting with Yara von Chrysalis had been determined, and it was still the same old Forbidden Greenhouse. This time, Jace Green and the other three did not stay in the garden with Yara von Chrysalis because the Grand Marshal unexpectedly appeared, terrifying Jace Green's subordinates. The youngest prince can only take them away to keep his people from collapsing and losing their demeanor in front of his Imperial Uncle.
Only Yara von Chrysalis is inside the greenhouse, working on the newly opened land and planting tulip flower bulbs. The Grand Marshal squatted beside him, unconcerned about his position, and assisted his wife with planting. He is the one with the small shovel, digging on the soul, while Yara would pass a tulip bulb seed to him with each small hole he dug.
A cycle of one digging, another passing the seed, and the first planting the seed. Tulips can only be planted one at a time, so the couple took their time planting them. As they awaited the arrival of the second prince, they spent their time together quietly but peacefully. The second prince arrived only after they had planted more than half of the tulip bulb seed.
"My lord, Young Lord, the second prince seeks an audience with the lords," the old butler informed his two masters.
"Let him in," the Grand Marshal said as he motioned for Yara to take a break. He even assisted him in removing his apron and gloves and dusting them.
When it comes to Yara von Chrysalis, no one assists the Grand Marshal. They weren't even permitted to touch the Young Lord unless absolutely necessary. The tea and snacks were served on the table brought into the garden by Adjutant Kir and Dean Frey von Gregory. Of course, they still followed the Greenhouse's rules and gathered all of their trash, which was immediately thrown outside for proper disposal.
Only Yara von Chrysalis has the ability to do whatever he wants inside the Greenhouse; the mutated plants, flowers, and trees inside the garden all feared the Grand Marshal due to his overwhelming strength. Fortunately, this man is not the type to litter and practices cleanliness more than most people, and he did not openly violate the rules of the establishment.
Caesar Mitchell von Imperlian drew Yara von Chrysalis over to the table where the drinks and snacks were being prepared. A set of cafe au lait was served to their young master, and a tray of snacks was prepared for the marshal. One containing salty and bland snacks such as cheese, salted crackers, dark chocolate, and so on. These snacks are obviously for those who, like the Grand Marshal, dislike sweets. The other tray was piled high with small cakes, eclairs, chocolate brownies, and other delectable treats for Yara von Chrysalis.
The second prince was escorted inside the Greenhouse by the old butler. Christopher Klein von Imperlian did not bring a subordinate inside because he was met by his Imperial Uncle.
He owes this person his undivided attention. After all, he is the only pureblood royal descendant.
The Second Prince is an S-ranked Adjudicator, so he sensed the presence hiding in the garden the moment he entered the Greenhouse. He was astounded by what he had witnessed. There are numerous Sentient plants and trees in this Greenhouse, as that subordinate had reported. Some can even compete with him in strength, even if they are stronger than him. He was nervous as he looked around quietly. The feeling of being watched from all sides made him uneasy, especially if the people in his presence were not humans.
'This place is a lot more dangerous than I thought.' The thoughts of the Second Prince as soon as he took a step inside the Greenhouse.
He was aware that mutated creatures, particularly plants, were territorial. Staying in their place is nearly impossible unless it is with people they approve of. But he'd heard that Yara von Chrysalis would come here every day and leave unscathed.
As the Second Prince looked around the Greenhouse, the old Butler who serves the Grand Duke's Family noticed him feeling strange. Unlike the others, he who serves the Grand Marshal is aware that the Young Lord has the ability to control plants, even mutated ones. Yara von Chrysalis was kind enough to give him a bonsai as a gift. He, like Jace Green, signed a soul contract with that mutated bonsai, which allowed him to have another pet in his quantum world.
So the mutated plants and trees in this greenhouse were also familiar to this old butler, but unlike the second prince, he didn't fear them because he knew that as long as his young lord was present, these guys wouldn't dare to harm him. He could also understand the Second Prince's vigilance; the feeling of someone staring at you from nowhere made him nervous. Despite the fact that he had no intention of explaining things to the Second Highness.
"Your Highness, this way, please. The Grand Duke and the Young Lord had been waiting for your arrival." The Old Butler said.
The second prince was stunned to hear that his Imperial Uncle was also there. He was also shocked to see this old butler from the Imperial Family appearing in this greenhouse. Now, even his Imperial Uncle is here.
"Imperial Uncle is also here?" The Second Prince asked for reassurance.
The old butler responded politely, "Yes, it's time for lunch so the Lord came over to eat a meal with the Young Lord."
After being told that, the Second Prince, Christopher Klein von Imperlian, no longer inquired further. He was well aware of how possessive his Imperial Uncle was. He wasn't surprised to see them seated together on a couch, with his Imperial Uncle feeding his partner with his hands, and he greeted them. This was the first time he had seen such a human-like version of his Imperial Uncle.
"Christopher Klein von Imperlian greets Imperlian Uncle and Imperlian Aunt." The second prince said.
He bowed his head and greeted them in the manner of his Imperial Uncle's generation. He imagined how Yara von Chrysalis would react if he lowered his head towards her. He is a member of the Baron Family, and such courtesy is not expected of him. But it appears that he thought too highly of himself. There is no way Yara von Chrysalis, whose true identity is unknown to the human race, would be alarmed to see a mere human prince show such regard for him.
He remained expressionless even after learning that his friend Jace Green von Imperlian was the Imperlian Royal Family's youngest prince. Not to mention meeting the second prince, who is younger than the man who chose to bring him home.
The Grand Marshal made no corrections to Yara's reaction. There is no need for him to lower his status in front of a mortal who can die with a single wave of his hand as his wife's incarnation. They simply aren't worth it.
The Grand Marshal had spoken, "You may raise your head."
"Please take a seat, Senior." Yara von Chrysalis said.
"Thank you, Imperial Uncle. Imperial Aunt." The second prince said. He took a seat and joined them at their table. The old butler had served him some black coffee.
Yara von Chrysalis looked a bit confused, "Imperial Aunt? Are you talking about me? But I am not a female."
"It's just something like a title. Something my juniors will call you in the future. As you are my other half and my pair." The Grand Marshal said.
Yara von Chrysalis looked like he couldn't completely understand and asked, "Are we a pair? Is it because your dragon is like me?"
"Yes, Roi likes you and also likes your unhatched little egg. That egg is yours when it hatches; it will be Roi's partner in the future." Caesar Mitchell von Imperlian responded patiently and delicately. The incarnation of his wife in this world is too young for him to comprehend their relationship. He can only protect him as he matures.
Yara von Chrysalis remembered the silver egg with the pattern of black snowflakes that the black dragon had been incubating for so long. He couldn't believe he was born with a Quantum Beast at first. After all, he and his clan were not entirely human. He also avoided involvement with the Imperium's upper echelons. But everything changed when he decided to befriend Jace Green. This leads him to meet Caesar Mitchell von Imperlian, the Imperium Star's only pureblood royalty.
"I wonder what would come out of my egg." Yara von Chrysalis said.
A rare smile appeared at the corner of the Grand Marshal's lips as he rustled the hair of Yara with a pampering gaze, "Maybe another kind of dragon would come out."
"A dragon is not bad. But I want one with wings instead." Yara von Chrysalis mumbled.
The Grand Marshal said, "It would be born with one. As long as that's what you wish to have."
The crowd was stunned as they observed the interaction between the two men discussing dog food. Despite their age difference, their auras complemented each other well. The Grand Marshal seemed to have a soft spot for the young Yara and was willing to indulge him. It was hard to ignore the affection the Grand Marshal showed towards the innocent youth.
The Second Prince was shocked to see his normally cold and cruel Imperial Uncle acting so affectionately. He couldn't believe what he was hearing as his Uncle discussed his doubts about the relationship between Yara and himself. He overheard a mention of an unhatched egg and the chaotic black dragon, which must have been a reference to the Quantum Beast. The Prince had assumed that his Uncle's partner was an ordinary person, but now he realized that this was not the case. He understood that his Uncle's sudden recovery was due to his pairing with someone extraordinary.
Christopher Klein von Imperlian is keeping a close eye on Yara von Chrysalis. He hasn't noticed anything particularly noteworthy about the young man, aside from the fact that he is an awakened one. However, he suddenly sees several plant and flower vines emerging from behind his Imperial Uncle's seat and moving around the greenhouse freely. Although he knows that all the plants in this greenhouse are mutated, he's never seen them behave so openly before. To make matters worse, Yara von Chrysalis seems to be the one they are bothering. A vine even attempts to poke Yara's cheek, prompting the Grand Marshal to quickly grab it and glare at the offending plant.
"You can touch. Not intimately or I'll turn you bald."
The plant trembled in fear at the Grand Marshal's menacing presence. Despite his lack of elemental fire, the sentient beings sensed a more perilous element emanating from him. When the vine recoiled at his warning, some plants reacted by hurling dried leaves in his direction, which upset Yara von Chrysalis.
"No littering!" Yara von Chrysalis exclaimed, which startled the plants.
The plants quickly started moving their vines, hurriedly cleaning up the scattered dried plants around them. Their king had a strong dislike for messy and dirty things, as evidenced by his thick gloves during the replanting of their roots. After being scolded by their leader, the plants lowered their branches, resembling children who had received a reprimand from their parents.
The Second Prince was left stunned by the mystical scene between Yara von Chrysalis and the plants. He realized that Yara was capable of commanding plants, which meant he was an elemental user. However, his Imperial Uncle had previously mentioned that Yara's Quantum Beast was still an egg, leaving the Second Prince confused about how Yara could control the elements. Only his Imperial Uncle, who had awakened as an Arbitrator, was capable of such abilities. Furthermore, Yara was also capable of curing mental contamination, much like mediators. The Prince couldn't believe how someone could possess such omniscient and omnipotent powers.
Christopher Klein von Imperlian couldn't help but stare at Yara von Chrysalis like a monster, which made Yara uncomfortable.
"W-Why are you looking at me like that?" Yara von Chrysalis was a bit frightened when he held the arms of the man beside him.
The Grand Marshal turned his head to look at his nephew and gave him a warning gazehich made the Second Prince instantly lower his gaze.
"Christopher Klein von Imperlian, watch who you are looking at go."
"Please forgive my rudeness, Imperlian Aunt." The Second Prince immediately apologized afraid he might anger his Imperial Uncle for real and get beaten up on the spot.
