Chapter 822: Consequences

After the incident in the prison facility, with the chaos that had happened and the warden being heavily injured on the verge of dying, Vizla had no other choice than to take Emery back to the detention facility, the one that he had been in before.

On the other hand, as Vizla escorted him in silence, Emery understood that things had gone a bit out of control, and couldn't help to wonder if things would have gone differently.

If only he just surrendered right away, then he would not have hurt anyone.

If only he arrived sooner, then maybe he could save the girl who was dragged into all this.

If only he didn't ask the girl in the first place, then these things might not happen at all.

'If only…' Emery's mind was filled with those thoughts swirling inside, as regret welled up within him.

Alas, everything had happened and he could not change it even though he wanted to so desperately. Someone was hurt, while someone else died.

Thanks to the mess he had made, there was a chance that the deal he was about to strike with the Ouroboros fell through and his relationship with Silva might be affected because of this.

There was also a slight chance that Ouroboros would punish him as they did to Gennette. Either way, Emery was ready to accept the consequences of his actions.

Those were all the thoughts that ran through Emery's mind, as he continued to be escorted into the detention facility.

The young master of Ouroboros, Vizla, was considerate enough to accompany him, to make sure that no other things went wrong.

After they arrived at the fortress-like building, Emery was quickly taken to a different kind of detention room. This one was much smaller in size; a personal holding.

There were several other rooms in the corridor where Emery was being held, separated by a magical wall panel and glass front.

Emery entered the room, and after all the guards left to return to their posts, Vizla still stayed around. The young master was standing in front of the glass door with an annoyed face and acting as if he wanted to say something. However, the normally talkative man seemed to be at a loss for words.

Seeing Vizla's face and realizing what it meant, Emery said "Just tell me… How bad is it?"

When he heard that, Vizla suddenly exploded with emotion.

"You ask how bad is it?! It's pretty bad, I tell you! A dozen guards were wounded during the chaos and the main problem is the warden"

The young man heaved a deep sigh to calm his rising emotion.

"What exactly did you do to him?! The warden's spirit soul was found damaged, to the point of a regression in his cultivation" Vizla brought his face near to the glass and looked straight at Emery. "Tell me. What the hell actually happened?"

The news of the warden's condition took Emery by surprise. Even he himself did not expect to cause such harm. Apparently, his new skill was very deadly.

Either way, Emery really didn't know much about the skill. Hence he just decided to say nothing lest it caused a misunderstanding.

Vizla then continued speaking. "I heard that you were there because of one of the servants assigned to your residence. Is this true? One of the guards at your residence came and told me that you were looking for me, but when I came to find you, you were already gone. Why the hell then did you end up breaking a prison!?"

Emery took a deep sigh and told him about what happened that led to the incident and also took this chance to ask why would this led to Gennette's cruel punishment.

However, the tone and attitude that Vizla took as he spoke clearly showed that he was not only ignorant of it, he also didn't really care.

"It was just a lowly human. I can find hundreds of replacements just like her easily. Why are you making trouble because of her?" Confusion could be heard in his words as the young man spoke again, clearly showing that he was truly unable to comprehend why Emery was willing to go so far for a human.

Vizla then explained how the law in Ouroboros was very strict, that murder between bloodlines could easily sentence the offender a capital punishment.

Hearing this, Emery was actually reminded of the death of many humans in that facility. However, he knew better than to let out these thoughts out loud and therefore kept them to himself.

In the meantime, Vizla continues explaining

"My mother, the queen, has always tried to rule justly. So let's hope that the warden will be okay, otherwise, it's not just the contract that will be pulled. There might even be a trial for you for this."

This was certainly surprising news for Emery. He did not expect that the matter would be this grave.

Before leaving, Vizla spoke one last time.

"You should know that my sister is not allowed to see you until you decide to accept or not accept the contract. Looking at your current situation, my suggestion would be to just sign the contract already. Afterward, you can just plead guilty and receive a lighter sentence. It would also be seen as favorable by the people of the Ouroboros. If you decide not to, however, you will only make things difficult for you and us all."

Vizla then leaves the room leaving echoes of footsteps slowly getting smaller before finally disappearing completely.

Emery was actually left with more questions which trouble him deeply. After all, even though he had been traveling to quite a few worlds, this was the first time that he really interacted deeply with their culture.

At first glance, Ouroboros might have a lot in common with its home planet, but there were actually some major differences.

As he was thinking about what he should do next, suddenly a voice rang out from the room next to him. It was a familiar female voice that started with a little chuckle of amusement.

"Finally, you are here. Looks like I'm the only one rotting in this cell for months while you're free out there and having fun without me."

A figure came to Emery's mind when he heard the very familiar tone of sarcasm.

The owner of that voice was none other than the possessor of the Bat Bloodline and his supposedly martial aunt, Annara.
