The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 586 - 318 【Chenxing Never Falls】_3

"They?"

Agni followed An Su's gaze, which ended at the more intricately intertwined streets of the Lower City District, where guards from the Abnormality Management Bureau were sticking one prohibition order after another on doorway alleys.

Through those densely packed seals, in the dark depths, it seemed as if countless pairs of uneasy eyes were watching; in the dim slums, in the silent ruins and pigeon houses, the eyes belonged to the old, the young, and children—and children's eyes were the most discerning, their glow glistening through the mist.

Some subordinates in the Upper City District had also heard the news, using connections to buy a transit pass which blocked the city gates, yet the dawn in the Lower City District was quiet, with only the newspaper's propaganda officers stuffing mailboxes full with papers bearing "Peace and Harmony" and "Orderly."

"Do you care about their lives?" Agni blinked, perhaps Young Master An Su had developed empathy, "From what I understand, you are not that kind of person."

"You are right. I truly do not care; I only care about my own interests."

Half of the inverted time had passed, An Su, undisturbed, embellished his speech, and gazed towards the realm of Farol, the golden dawn peeking through the cracks in the clouds, he stood at the highest point of Farol, the youth stretched out his hand, as though seizing the scepter of the world, "Because they left, I stayed; if they had not left, I would have fled. I'm not a good person; I have always been wicked."

"Chaos is the ladder to ascend."

"If the soldiers leave, then I staying makes me the soldier; if the Municipal Officer leaves, then I staying makes me the Municipal Officer; if the King leaves, then I staying makes me the King, these are all my subjects."

Facing the morning star and the dawn, the youth's navy blue eyes seemed to meet every pair of eyes in the darkness, looking into the eyes of each elderly person, youth, and child, peering into every uneasy soul, the youth revealed the purest smile, as remnants of the morning star fell before him.

"If the stars in the sky all fall, then it should be me that remains in the sky."

Agni watched the youth in front of her in silence, her soul deeply stirred, she genuinely felt that the youth in front of her was an anomaly, An Su was not fearful, nor empathetic, and did not feel pity for the ordinary citizens of the slums, on the contrary, the youth simply felt joy, a joy that came from deep within, he did not even attempt to conceal this joy, this wickedness, nor would he embellish peace, he embraced the chaos, he praised the chaos.

Nevertheless, he chose to stay in the Imperial Capital, standing with the discarded pawns.

Was he the Child of the Curse, the Blessed Son, or perhaps both.

"Young Master, you have won." Agni, silent for a long time, slowly said, "Let your father convince you."

...My father came too?

An Su blinked, only to see Agni step back and open the curtain of the Alchemical Carriage, revealing Count Karlo's stern face as the gears turned.

"Father." An Su felt troubled, his father was surely going to forcibly bring him back home.

He glanced with peripheral vision at the army of the Chenxing Family, Count Karlo was powerful, this elite force composed largely of Saints was not something he and Miss Enya together could easily take on.

Miss Enya quietly held An Su's hand, waiting only for the young master's command to escape into the shadows.

"Disobedient son."

Unexpectedly, Count Karlo simply watched An Su in silence for a long, long time, then he softly sighed.

"If you wish to stay, then stay."

An Su was surprised.

"These years, you've excelled at running away from home, I catch you once, you run once, I just knew you couldn't be kept. And you're already seventeen, it's time to get married."

Count Karlo shook his head, his similarly azure eyes meeting An Su's through the air. "When I was young, I also liked to run away from home, following your two uncles here to Farol, so the people of the Chenxing family can't be confined."

"Everyone says that we're a nouveau riche family short on history, but in reality, it's because your father struck gold while in the military that we suddenly became rich, that's when they got to know us and deemed us nouveau riche. Our family has actually been on the border for thousands of years, with each generation being major border defenders."

"I'm not well-educated myself, this is the only knowledge I can teach you."

"Do you know how our family crest, 'Morning Star', came about?"

"'Morning Star' is the star of the morning. But morning is not supposed to have stars; stars belong to the night. By dawn, the other stars would have departed, only the Morning Star stays, guarding at the twilight of night and day, guarding at the times before the sun rises, guarding this narrow time which inherently lacks any radiance. That's the mission of Moningsta."

"We are the Morning Star, even if all other stars fall, we must still remain in the sky."

Count Karlo watched An Su,

"All the nobles have left, you lad, stay in the sky of Farol, while I must return to the border's sky. I just received a report—thankfully, you fooled those idiotic emissaries into staying at home—The Avad Empire has started marching towards the border."

"The war has started, remember, your father is also a soldier, your father was granted his title through military merits, it wasn't just some damn sudden upstart!"

He ordered the soldiers to start the Alchemical Carriage, the heavy fog of the Demon Core steamed up, these alchemical beasts released a thorough roaring sound, shattering the heaven and earth. Count Karlo gave one last look at An Su and declared loudly, "An Su, never forget, you are Moningsta, remember, it's dawn right now!"

"And remember, the clan saying I haven't yet managed to teach you—"

The Morning Star Knights boarded the Alchemical Carriage, the azure hooves shattered the icy frost, the orderly sound echoed around the ears, lingering in the sky above Farol for a long time,

"['The Morning Star shall never fall'!!]"

The young man held Miss Enya's tender hand, softly repeating the clan saying,

He watched his father's figure disappearing into the crack between dawn and night, the early winter wind rolling up the orange and white clouds, the wilderness raising layers of mountainous folds, his father headed towards the horizon, towards his battlefield, never looking back, from now on, An Su also knew, no one would ever drag him back home, because he was already seventeen.

"['The Morning Star shall never fall']."

The young man said softly, repeating once more, unsure how to describe his feelings at that moment, only knowing that with this departure, it was uncertain when they might meet again...

Eh?

An Su slightly widened his eyes.

He saw Count Karlo snatching the reins from the coachman, leaving the convoy, and backing the carriage to return.

"No, I can't rest easy, our family has been passing down from one generation to the next for dozens of generations, it can't end now."

Count Karlo glanced at An Su, then at Miss Enya, and gave a fatherly command.

"I order you two to get married right here, right now!"
