** Welcome, Your highness. How shall help you today **

" Scan the targets on the field, Tell me how many of them are there..... "

** Scanning now,......... Over 3000 individuals have been identified as the targets, Your highness **

" Are we capable of eliminating them with our drones... "

** Yes, your highness. We are. Do you want me to deploy the drones... **

" Deploy.... "

** Yes, your highness.... 300 drones have been deployed.... **

" Keep me updated, Iris.... "

** Targets destroyed, your highness **

" Good "

The first artificial strike on the Bellugian troops. This is an advantage as i don't need any lives to be wasted on the battlefield for the arrogance of Bellugians. But my general is not happy with these.....

" It should be our men with swords and guns, humiliating those morons, not those AI metals, My lord " said Elvis, commander of my force, ' Jaegerists '.

" You're right, Elvis. But I can't waste manpower to play the Bellugians.... I cannot attend thousands of funerals of my soldiers... "

" I see, my lord. You're frustrated about this war.... It should be frustrating, since the day, you became the king... You're handling nothing but war... "

" Yes, I was a war-time prince, now I'm a war-time King. But I don't want my son and daughter to face this curse... Hope I can settle this... "

" We can secure a better future by destroying the entire Kayodh, what do you think on this, my lord..? " He says with a sly smile. Elvis's father was killed by the Bellugians in war during my father's reign.

" You want revenge over them, Elvis... But the Bellugians political game is not their people's doing... People are innocent... "

" You're kind, my lord... You're not like your father... " 

" I'm not my father... But i am brilliant as him.... Want me to take on a match... " 

" Sure, but i won't go easy on you, my lord... "

We started playing chess, but our minds were not on those black-and-white politics, it was on the real pawns and bishops....

" The thing that concerns me everytime is.... I'm not in good talks with the Kalyans, that makes me worried... What if the Bellugians turn a plot against me, and make Kalyans do something to me.... "

" As per my knowledge, my lord... Kalyans are different from all the other royal clans... They are always hunger for power and dominance... While the ideology of the Bellugians oppose their thinkings.... It's not possible from them to unite... And also your aunt married the Emperor, which makes the Kalyan clan your family... Then what are you worrying for, my lord..? " He was talking to me, but at the same time, he plays a plot to checkmate me....

" I see what you're trying to do... I will stalemate myself, Elvis... Don't worry... " 

" It's not entirely possible, my lord " Both of us started laughing. But my heart remained rigid....

" I'm not sure if I will make it out nicely... I'm worried about my children, my wife... What they will do, if I'm gone... " 

" I see spark in Baron.... My lord " 

Till day, Elvis and all the tutors avoided my son, because of his abnormal behaviours, but those words shocked me...

" Spark? What do you mean by that... "

" I grew up with you, my lord.... I myself have observed your behaviours and thinkings... Weakness.... But he's not a normal Jaeger... "

" Hmmmm.... Maybe because of his mother... She's a Aryan, you know... Those people are always mysterious...... "

" I don't think that's the reason, my lord.... I think you will find it soon.... The girl is normal like you... But the boy... He's different.... " When Elvis said those words, for the first time in my life... I saw fear in his eyes.... That moment I felt something is happening with that boy.......

With all my overthinking and a rush of thoughts in my mind.... My wife welcomed me with a gentle smile and her sky-pointing ears twitching in happiness...

" It took you so long to come... It's almost midnight... Did you go somewhere else?... I searched for you all over the palace..."

" No, I was here all the time... Just had some conversation with Elvis.... Did you eat?... "

" We ate earlier... Baron was so hungry... " 

" Ooh, where is he?... "

" Sleeping, what else? "

" Ilya?.... Is she's also sleeping... "

" Yep, darling " she didn't even hear my word fully and left to bring me the dinner.....

She served me her finest dishes... In my eyes, she's the best cook in the whole world..... 

" Aryans do have a best pair of hands.... " I wanted to praise her for the food, but instead I said this, to make her angry.... And it worked !

" I think you have so much ego... That's why you don't appreciate me in any ways.. ! " She turned head in anger... All i did was ' Loud laugh '....

" Don't get mad.... ( Still couldn't control my laugh ) ... To be honest you're beautiful.. why you're angry... "

" Shut up! " She was really angry... But i need to ask these things, if I want a peaceful sleep....

" I have a question... Do Aryans have supernatural powers or something.... "

" Why this all of the sudden, are going to fight against us, darling "

" Of course not.... Just asking.... "

" We don't have any supernatural traits except these stones on our forehead... " She points the small stone on her forehead, inbetween her two eyebrows... I have seen these stones, all Aryans have these stones on their forehead, they are born with it. They call it a divine symbol given to them by them god "Mayoon"...

" But there's a story.... " She said 

" What story.... "

" It's more like a prophecy to us... Out god will send us a prophet... He will have the long-lost power called the 'Paradox' and will start the 'Darma Yatra', a holy war... "

" Paradox ?.... What kind of power is it ? "

" I don't know much of it, darling.... But my father said that it was a tool that our ancestors used to control and rule this galaxy... But somehow it disappeared... " 

I saw tiredness in her eyes, I don't want to dry her mind... So I stopped... 

" Let's take a nap... I'm tired, we can take about this later "....

The lights were turned off, but my mind remained wake..... Thinking about the " ultimate power "

................................................

" The Bellugians wants to talk with you, Your highness " 

" When did they start thinking about taking to Kalyans like us "

" They say they want the Emperor's presence in their military showcase ceremony..." 

" Interesting..... So be it.... Prepare me the best ship and the high escort.... "

" As you wish, Emperor.... "
