Chapter-17: A Curse.
“Do you know who is that masked man appeared at Tower of Eden?”
I was waiting for this question. I knew that he will eventually ask this.
“You mean the rumored man who guarding the sect now? To be honest, I do not know him. But I can make a guess about who he is.”
Grandfather was sharply looking at me with his Truth Serum eyes. I was making his eye to detect every word of mine is true.
“Hou?”
He was asking me silently ‘and what is your guess?’
“I don’t know that if he is the same person, I had heard that in our sect there was a strong backer, whose power is equal to Saint Class or even above. But people regarded it as myth and some people call him as a ghost. His name is Madara Uchiha. That's all I know.”
Of course, he is verifying my every word with Truth Serum eyes.
“Is that so? Madara Uchiha, is that it? Never heard of him but my eyes telling it’s not mare myth. Oh well, we will eventually contact him.”
I nodded toward him.
“Aside from that, I don’t think this was the all that you came to meet with me, what is your other… no real purpose?”
I have undone Tsukuyomi, there is no need of lies anymore. And this is something I also want to tell those who are hiding in the shadows.
“There are two matters I wanted to ask from you. First is, I want to start magic research on our territory. I want you to help my research with the materials.”
He was nodding toward me with a smile,
“That is wonderful, you have contributed to our nation with your magic research. That helped both poor and rich to easily learn magic, so I will happy to give you money and material for magic research.”
“Thank you very much. And second is... I have agreed to your proposal you gave me before.”

Hearing me he raised his brows.
“So you have finally understood that what are the advantages or disadvantages for you?”
“Yes, I am agreeing to marry Sera Pendragon.”
Uther Pendragon gave a big grin after hearing my announcement,
“Haha, so you have matured after all.”
…
Inner Palace.
After talking to grandfather, I have come to see grandmother and aunt again. I will be leaving today, so I wanted to see them before that.
But I couldn’t help but feel cold in my heart.
My grandfather… no King, in his eyes or facial expression, there was neither worries nor fear of lost one of country’s strongest force, all that was tired expression.
I almost have forgotten his Truth Serum’s power, that’s why I never suspected that.
King, you must have known that Tower of Eden will be destroyed, don’t you?
All-Seeing-Eyes are a powerful bloodline magic eyes, and the royal clan, Pendragon family possesses those eyes. Even among all All-Seeing-Eyes, Truth Serum that my grandfather possess is the strongest. It can justify true and false of past, present, and future.
And how does it connected to the knowing pf the destruction of Tower of Eden? It’s like that, likewise all Pendragon family, my mother possess a set of All-Seeing-Eyes. The name of her eyes is Omen. It might not be strong kind of All-Seeing-Eyes, it helps my mother to tell Omen, it might be a good one or bad one. And the chance of that Omen come true is 25%. After all, controlling future is not easy.
Once my mother told grandfather that, ‘I have a bad feeling, sending my son to that sect. My eyes giving bad sign… that sect has too many enemies, I don’t know when it will be destroyed by its enemy.’
That was the moment my grandfather knew that the Tower of Eden will be destroyed eventually. But it doesn’t mean he is a sinner, the thing I am suspecting that he may know when and how our sect will destroy.
I am not sure that, but I will be sure to investigate that.

My mother knew that royalty is filled with impurity, which was why she was so scared to have a marriage bond with Sera Pendragon and mine. She once told me that, by falling in love and marrying your father I finally became free from a curse called royalty, so I do not want my children to bear that same curse.
And my father said that 'do not believe a politician until they fulfilled their promise, but do not believe a royalty even more until they die because you don’t know when they will sell you out by the name of protecting the nation.'
Even so, I have chosen that path of cursed royalty, because I have to…
I sense a person coming toward inner palace drawing room.
I was looking at the entrance where no door to it.
I have called for aunt and grandmother via a maid but it's not them, a new person.
A woman’s silhouette appeared there.
At a first glance, I thought she was Guinevere, her eyes, her lips, her nose and her entire figure was as ethereal as Guinevere except… her hair was golden instead of ink black the Guinevere has, this golden hair is the symbol of Pendragon’s Sun Fire.
“Hello, brother Lancelot.”
She elegantly bowed towards me.
Coming to reality I asked her,
“It has been a while, Sera. You have grown up. Now, you are as beautiful as your mother.”
I praised her, despite I didn’t want to compare her beauty to Guinevere, unconsciously I did that. Sigh, Guinevere still has a big influence on me.
“Haha, brother, you are talking like an old man and you become flatterer, though I don’t know your character because we met after 7 years.”
Yeah, I saw her last time when she was only 11, and after two years later she entered Sunfire Royal Academy, the fourth powerhouse (currently third), so we did not cross path. Not even in the national tournament.
But who did think that snotty brat will become that fine woman? Sigh, seeing her I remembered the conversation with Konan last night (I had teleported in the inn she stayed in).
….
“What made you recognized as strongest as that excepted by everyone you say?”
I asked Konan, how to become stronger that majority of human acknowledge me.
Saying that she gave a sweet laugh, but her next sentence was not that sweet.
“Then, become the King.”
“Huh! King?”
I become dumbfounded. King? Did she mean King of the magic world… King of the mankind... or King of this nation…
“Yes. Become King of this nation.”
“What are you saying? It’s really troublesome to become a King; after all, I need time for magic research… no… I am not even in the line of succession of the throne.”(MC)
Hearing me she looked at me with scolding eyes.
“What? Your resolve was that weak? If you want to become supreme, first become king of this nation, then become emperor of this continent, and then become God of this world. That’s how people will acknowledge you, no one will dare to oppose you, in fact, they will kneel down every day and worship you, do not forget, the living being acknowledges you not only because you are strongest because you have that much authority over this world. They will fear you but also love you, they will vigilant toward you but still, they will respect you.”
She is an ambitious person no doubt. But that was the reason I selected her as the first person to reborn again. I asked her with understanding tone yet confused voice,
“But how do you think I will become king? As I said before, I am not royalty in the line of succession.”
She replied to me with mischievous voice,
“You have to just accomplish a trivial job. That is, marry Princess Sera Pendragon and all set.”
Umm... Hmm…?
