Aizel and Shelly were stunned into silence as they tried to process the information Vespara had just given them about the Sword Emperor's enigmatic past.

Goddamn, this guy is a true Sigma," Aizel thought.

"Do you think I am similar to Liza, or maybe that was my past life?" Shelly asked.

"What are you even saying?" Aizel asked as he glanced toward Shelly.

"I mean, it's possible, right? Do I have to mention everything Aizel of what I have experienced already in these past few days?"

Aizel's thoughts were racing as he processed Shelly's comment.

Memories of the extraordinary sights and experiences he had encountered in Xelgar flooded his thoughts.

The people of Xelgar lived in a world where magic existed, and they held powers far beyond anything anyone could imagine.

"No, your soul and Liza's soul are way different. The person's soul remains the same if he or she gets reincarnated.

"And getting reincarnated in the same world again has only a 5% chance," Vespara replied.

Aizel's eyes went wide open after hearing the revelation.

"Th-That means they are people here who got reincarnated? Do they keep their past memories with them?" Aizel quickly asked.

"Personally, I don't know anyone, but there are some mages who have been reincarnated again.

"I don't know how they did it. And I am not sure if they have their previous life memories," Vespara replied.

"What do you think about the world? Do you believe there are other worlds?" Both Aizel and Shelly stare at her intently to know what she will say.

"Everyone has their own hypothesis; some believe the mysterious Northern Kingdom is another World.

"But I think it's different. I believe that there is a possibility that there are many more Worlds out there like Xelgar," Vespara replied, her eyes sparkling like a mad mage.historical

Reincarnation, You gotta be fucking kidding me."

I know there are more planets and galaxies in the universe, so having more worlds with people living in them is still okay for me. But reincarnation? Don't tell me there will be a boss monster or villain who will arrive with its past memory," Aizel thought.

"Well, Aizel 3-4 more days, and your potions will be ready," Vespara suddenly said. She was stirring the white milky potion in the cauldron carefully.

"How many bottles can this batch be?" Aizel asked, his finger crossed behind his back.

"At least 20,"

"FUCK YES!"

"I will have a whooping 28 mind potion hehehahahaha...."

"By the way Vespara, I have something to ask."

"Yes, pretty boy,"

"I fought a Grade I mage and defeated her way back then.

"From her ring, I got at least 300-400 gold coins, 10 mind potions, and rest healing potions, and some were mana potions I think.

"I even heard that she had the legendary potion that can regenerate the limbs. She helped to use it on some villagers. Then she kidnapped them and sucked away their life energy.

"Is it normal for a Grade I mage to have this many potions, even the rare ones?"

"No, first of all, having a legendary rank potion is just incredible. Either she must have some luck, belong to some big noble family, or even be the princess of...

"Wait, tell me, was the color of her hair was red?"

"huh... Yes,"

"What was her name? Tell me fast."

"I think, Larisa,"

"HAHAHAHAHA.......

"Pretty boy, you don't know what you've done. You have just killed one of the princesses from the Theodora Kingdom."

"W-what!"

"Damn it, I didn't know. What the hell was she doing here?"

"Don't worry, the queen of Theodora doesn't care about her children," Vespara said.

"There are at least seven of them, and all are close to each other. Larisa was one of the youngest of all.

"The oldest daughter and I have quite a beef, and I am way too happy now that you killed her favorite sister.

"I am proud of you. Tell me, how would you like to see me in bed? Fully naked, or should I prepare something nice?" Vespara asked.

She was so happy that anyone on earth might consider her a laughing Buddha.

Alora was right, she is a bad influence on Aizel," Shelly thought.

Aizel kept his cool as he listened to Vespara, his expression never wavering to reveal how much he was taking in.

[Good work master; let's kill them all and send them to their dead sister, fufufhahaha]

"Shut up, Sekki."

"Fuck, why do I always get stuck in this type of situation?" Aizle sighed.

"Do they know she is dead?" he asked.

"Maybe or maybe not."

"Is there a chance they can find out who killed her?"

"Yes, if they found her corpse," Vespara replied.

"Damn it," Aizel exclaimed as he rushed out of the room.

"Where is he going?" Shelly asked.

"Maybe he went back to find her corpse?" Vespara shrugged.

"By the way darling, why don't you come with me and Daisy for practice?"

"Sure, I got nothing to do anyway,"

In the meantime

The rhythmic galloping of hooves resounded along the open path as Aizel spurred his horse ahead. With a look of concern on his face, he led his horse down the dangerous route toward the cave.

His mind kept returning to the moments of his kidnapping and finding Larisa's body.

After half a day of traveling, Aizel dismounted as he reached the cave's entrance and slipped inside gingerly.

The outside light faded and the air grew stale, plunging him into an unsettling blackness.

As Aizel walked deeper into the cave, his eyes surveyed the barren scenery, and his heart fell. The cave's desolation echoed his own sense of emptiness and ache.

It was as if the past had been completely erased, leaving only an unnerving silence in its place.

He recalled vividly the scene he had encountered before — the cages holding lifeless bodies, the macabre centerpiece of Larisa's corpse.

Yet now, all that remained was absolutely nothing. Confusion and frustration welled up inside him, mingling with a sense of disbelief.

"FUCK!"
