Chapter 799: Behind the Story

At this instant, both Rathnaar and Vildred suddenly suggested Kahn hear out Aragorn's proposition for some reason while the latter was adamant on not making any form of agreement with the latter because he was already tricked by him once, causing the former to be dreadful.

The Lightning Dragon Emperor Vildred then decided to explain their reasoning in a solemn tone.

[As much as I want to kill this damn elf, I'm now I am only comparable to a 4th stage saint because of the contract between me and you.

At best, I can take down a beginner 7th stage saint on my own. And I won't be able to fight against anyone of 8th stage saint rank unless you at least become a 6th stage saint yourself.

But if we kill him now, the imperial family will know as the Amulet of Annihilation will send a signal to the imperial clan and then we will be hunted down the moment we leave this dungeon.

I'm pretty sure there are many strong people in this empire who even I can't defeat in my current limited strength.] revealed the royal dragon, his voice full of concern.

[Dammit! You're correct indeed. There are three 7th stag saints in this empire.

Two of them are from the Imperial military while the last one is the current Abbot.

The Abbot of Monastery of Life is a peak 7th stage summoner while the Emperor himself is an intermediate 8th stage magician saint.] spoke Kahn, even he was now put in a dilemma.

At this moment, they were thinking more about the consequences of silencing the prince.

[So let's listen to him first and then we can make our decision later after hearing out his proposition.] said Rathnaar.

"Alright, talk." said Kahn with a stern gaze.

Finally, Aragorn told them his request in a heavy voice.

"I want you to ambush and help me capture my younger sister, the princess." stated the elven prince.

Flabbergasted!!

Everyone who heard those words was rooted on the spot, speechless and flabbergasted.

"Oh, hell no!" exclaimed Kahn, declining the deal from the get-go.

"Do you think we're all stupid?

How is this no different than killing you?" said Vildred, his domineering voice shaking the nearby 10 kilometers radius.

"That's a risk no sane person would take! And besides, why do you want us to ambush your own sister?" he questioned.

This request itself felt more like a trap set by this dubious High Elf.

"Think about it carefully. Besides, you don't have any other option either.

Do this for me and not only will I keep both of your secrets… I will also help you evade the suspicion of the Imperial Clan.

Nothing will come back to you or this gigantic dragon." he iterated with a voice filled with great hatred for his sister.

1 Hour Later.

After a long discussion, they were forced to agree with Aragorn without the latter telling them why he wanted to ambush his own younger sister.

And with Vildred's help… Both Kahn and the Dragon Emperor make a pact with Aragorn, one that didn't have any loopholes even if someone found the truth as the other party won't be able to snitch on them.

Even Kahn was curious about Vildred's expertise in ancient formations, and soul pacts such as Contract of Familiarity. However, this was something that could be discussed later.

An agreement that required Kahn and Vildred to actively ambush Elanor, the princess of the Zivot Empire and deliver to Aragorn was made. As for what he did afterward, it was none of their concern.

"Now that everything is settled… I think you should tell us why you lured me and my guild here and why you wanted to pass the trial to control Vildred." said Kahn in a grim tone, demanding that they heard the truth.

Sigh!

"Fine, I'll tell you why." said Aragorn and then glanced at Vildred.

"Commandment of Severed Fate." he spoke in a crestfallen voice.

"Ah… So that's the case. It explains everything." spoke the lightning dragon emperor.

"What the hell is a Commandment of Severed fate? Another spell by Deity of Subjugation?" asked Kahn to Vildred.

"Yes. But unlike the Commandment of Fellowship, it is inflicted on a single person.

He is free to roam the world unlike me. But he can never return to his old life." spoke the dragon emperor.

The royal dragon then gazed at Aragorn.

"How come your family has so many ancient spells from the Deity of Subjugation?

Even us Royal Dragons know only a few of them." he asked the first prince.

Just then, Rathnaar spoke in their mind.

[Because the Deity of Subjugation was actually an Arcane Elf. The ones from whom the High Elf species came from.] replied Rathnaar but he didn't explain how he knew this information.

"It has been in my family from the times when the Zivot Empire was formed. I have no idea of the origin." revealed Aragorn truthfully.

Kahn on the other end rolled his eyes.

"What exactly is the problem here then?"

"Listen here, child. This prince… is cursed." revealed Vildred.

Although Vildred wanted to kill Aragorn previously, now he almost pitied him.

"When Commandment of Severed Fate is used…

The target will be forgotten by every other person they knew or had been seen by anyone in their entire life.

Their name and face will be unknown to everyone while thinking that there was indeed such a person but no one would have a proper memory of them other than a fictional appearance which would vary from person to person.

Also, the race of the target would be changed as well as their identity will be forgotten by themselves over time.

In simple words… his fate has been 'severed' from this world." explain the royal dragon who was 2 thousand years old.

From here, Aragorn took the lead.

"And I can't reveal my true identity to anyone related to me or someone who knew me before.

If I try to do so… I will die on the spot." he said with a distraught expression.

Even Kahn was taken aback since it was the first time he heard about something like this.

So in simple words… Aragorn was both cursed and forgotten by the world and he couldn't even reclaim his own identity without dying in the process.

"That is why I want you to capture and deliver me my younger sister." said Aragorn.

"Why? What did she do?" asked Kahn with a curious voice.

"Hmph! What did she do?" scoffed the elven prince and replied in a stern voice.

"She's the one who cast it."
