They immediately go to the living room. There, they saw the Marchioness. She's waiting for them in her chair. Marchioness is frail and she has problems in walking. However the Marquis fell in love with her when they first met. It's love at first sight.

At that time, the Marquis just returned from the war and he quickly propose.

The Marchioness decline the offer of marriage because she doesn't want the Marquis to have dirty rumours with her. She's the second daughter of a Baron and her family didn't treat her right because of her disabilities. Her inferiority complex is telling her that marrying the Marquis is a bad idea, for her and for the Marquis.

However, Marquis Fillan didn't stop courting her. The Marchioness didn't know what to do and her heart starts to fall in love. She never met a man like him, Marquis Fillan treat her like she's a treasure. She felt especial. After many years, she saw that Marquis Fillan didn't stop loving her in fact it becomes stronger. The Marquis proposed again and this time the Marchioness accepted it.

Many nobles were dissatisfied, but the Marquis only showed them deadly glare.

Right now, this couple has three children and they still love each other. The only one who can stop the Marquis is his one and only wife.

"I'm sorry for not waiting outside. I tried to go, but the butler stops me. "

"No, it's okay, my love. I'm happy that you're here with me. I don't want you to stress your body."

Marquis Fillan kneel and kiss her.

"Dear…"

"My love…"

The couple didn't think about Christopher, who's in their front. They show their love like a newly wed couple.

'… Hello? Am I on the right House? Is this the House of Fillan? '

Christopher already expected this, but he felt like their love is growing stronger. He struck abrupt when he saw them doing their affectionate touch.

' Wha!? It's on another level! They are kissing now! Hey, this a public area!'

Christopher never thought that his visit in the Fillan House will be like this.

"E- ehem!"

The butler, who's with them, has coughed to signal the couple. The husband and wife stop and look at each other, they giggle and tidy their selves.

"Hello Christopher. You look handsome than ever. The last time that I saw you is when you visit here to spar with Marlon. I believe many ladies will lose their hearts if they see you."

Christopher bow.

"Thank you Marchioness."

"Hahaha. Christopher inherited his Mother's eye, but his overall features were like his Father. Haha"

"Ugh…"

Another slap came at him.

"Dear stop that. Can't you see that Christopher is having a bad time about that arm of yours?"

"Oh, sorry about that, Dear."

'No, I believe you should apologize to me not to the Marchioness. '

"Christopher, I'm sorry that my son is not here. You see, he's in the City right now… I believe he's drinking right now. That son of mine, he never gives his Mother any peace…"

"Ah is that so. Ahaha it's okay Marchioness. I believe I need to rest too cause the carriage is to bumpy to sleep in. I will excuse myself. "

"About that, you can follow the maids and they will show you your bedroom."

"Thank you."

Christopher will be here for two days. They will travel with Marlon and go to the Capital to inform the Emperor and the Council about the possible creation of a new route. They will discuss the Inaudible Plain and the disappearance of the undeads.

Christopher sat on the bed. It's soft and comfortable to touch. However, he believes that he will never get an enough rest. That's why he decided to sleep now because he knows that he won't get any sleep tomorrow. His friend will surely take him to the City to drink…

He takes off his coat and sleep.

…………………

In the middle of the night, Christopher woke up to take a book outside his baggage.

It's the Book of Death. The Diary that they found inside the Tomb.

Christopher already read 1/4 of the book. He realized that once again, this is not his novel.

He open the book to read it again.

[ My daughter is sick. She needs the tear of the Goddess of Light to cure her disease. I will ask the Temple of Light if they can give me a vial. I'm a hero, and I saved many people. I believe they will help me. ]

After some time, he concluded that the Necromancer is a Father.

[They didn't give me. They say that I'm a heretic! I don't know why!? I'm a follower of the Goddess of Death! My Goddess is not part of the Dark Side! How can they say that!?]

After thirty minutes of reading, Christopher closed the book. He can't stomachs what happened after that. His daughter died… as for what happened. It's easy to conclude that he made a genocide. He killed every followers of the Goddess of Light and become a notorious serial killer.

"But I can't see anything related about his death. The Book ended when he destroyed the Capital of Liwan, where the main Temple of Light reside in… after that there's nothing. Only blank pages"

Derik portrayed the Necromancer as the most heartless man of the Continent, but he never knew that his character has a sad story.

He's clueless why the follower of the Goddess of Death is releasing a light and pure Aura. For now, he believes that there were many secrets that he needs to uncover.

"One problem at a time. That's the only thing I can do right now. I can't solve them easily, I only have one body… I don't even have an offensive power. The only thing I have is these Books."

He's weak but he will not cower. He will do his best to overcome any obstacle.

"First, I need to save this Empire. I need to solve the problem called 'succession of the throne'. Sigh, I hope I will not die."
