Chapter 454: Discussion In The Heavenly Court

Lith toured the Sakura Mito with his mother and told her the various Japanese tales from Earth. He enjoyed telling stories to his mother, and Lilith basked in his undivided attention.

The two spent their time peacefully together, but the rest of the world was in an uproar over what had happened at the CNC.

The news of the death of CNC members reached the ears of all the Supreme Ranks in the world. It had caused chaos in their respective factions.

*

The Heavenly Court, Angel Continent.

"Your Majesty, it pains me to say this, but Noman, whom we all thought so highly of and wanted to recruit in the Heavenly Court, has done something that brings shame upon us angels."

An Angel King, standing in front of his seat in the Heavenly Court, addressed the court and the Heavenly Emperor, Alex Paladin.

Alex, who was laid back in his seat, leaned forwards as he heard Noman's name being brought up.

"Now, this is interesting," he thought. The million-year-old soul who still had the good looks of a thirty-year-old focused his attention on the Angel King in front.

However, the other Angel Kings in the court were confused and did not understand the context. They weren't in charge of the affairs of the Neutral Continent. So, it was only natural that they wouldn't know.

The person standing noticed the gazes of the people and could understand their confusion. He cleared his throat and clarified,

"My apologies. Let me explain it more clearly."

"First, let me ask, does everyone know who Noman is?"

A discussion went on about his question as a few knew about Noman but several didn't. Most of them only had a rough idea of who Noman was.

The senior Angel Kings also had some idea about what he had done but the newer ones knew nothing.

The discussion had only just begun when Alex's overbearing words sounded in the court.

"Stop."

The Angel Kings stopped immediately and looked toward Alex, wondering why he halted the discussion.

Alex did not care to explain his reasons and turned to look at the Angel King who was in charge of the Neutral Continent.

"What is the news about Noman?"

Alex thought that it was in the best interest of these people to remain ignorant about Noman. Firstly, he wouldn't join the Heavenly Court even if they tried to recruit him and secondly, these people might become insecure.

The Angel King who was asked a question bowed and answered,

"Your Majesty, Noman, along with a demon, barged into the CNC and killed the council members there. Not everyone died but half of them were wiped out."

Alex nodded with a serious face and questioned further, "What type of death was it?"

"Noman is a Seraphim, and all Seraphims are benevolent. Even if he was with a Demon, Noman would not kill the Council Members, would he?"

Such a thought based on his existing knowledge of Noman formed in his mind only to be shattered in the next moment.

The Angel King had a grave expression and he said slowly, "they were given a complete death."

Gasp!

The others in the court sucked in a cold breath of air as they heard that.

Someone called Noman killed half of the CNC members!? That too without a chance to reincarnate?

This was really unbelievable and not something the people here had expected. Even Alex didn't expect the benevolent Noman to do this.

'I guess being with the Vampires changes you.' Alex thought.

But then something clicked with him. 'Or maybe, the council must've pushed things too far to make even a Seraphim cross the line.'

Alex always thought of things from a neutral perspective and not looked at one side of the story. It was just one of the many traits that made him the Heavenly Ruler of the Angels. </>

A heated discussion began in the court once again and the Angel Kings discussed Noman's deeds. Many condemned him but most were confused as to why one would resort to such acts. But most importantly…

"Your Majesty, in whatever way we look, it is a fact that someone breached the CNC and killed the Council Members. They decided to take matters into their own hands without notifying the other main races. This cannot go unnoticed and we must punish them."

An Angel King said after pondering over this situation. He didn't care much about what Noman did but thought of the interests of his own race.

Someone invading the council and killing the people there was a big slap on the faces of the main races.

The main races would lose their reputation and people will also lose trust in them. If they can't even protect the people they appointed, how can they even protect us? Such would be the thoughts of the people.

However, Alex was calm despite knowing this and hearing the analysis from the Angel King in the court. It was as if he knew everything and there was nothing that could shake him.

The Angel King noticed the lack of response from Alex. He bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, the court would take a hit on their reputation if we let this slide. Please understand."

"It won't." Alex's reply was fast and it confused everyone.

How would the court not take a blow? Someone killed the council members they appointed right in the parliament building and not anywhere else. It wasn't an assassination but a slap on the faces of the main races.

Everyone looked towards Alex in hopes of getting their queries answered. They didn't question him as they knew that the Heavenly Emperor would never say wrong things.

? The people doubted themselves but not Alex.

Alex, looking at them seem so eager to get an answer, decided to quench their thirst for answers.

"If the council members were killed on the orders from the main race, it wouldn't matter. There is not an outsider who killed the people appointed by the main races, but people from the main race itself."

"The public won't question this as it can come out as 'reforms happening in the CNC' and things can slide. There won't be any controversies as well."

Understanding this, an Angel asked, "but Your Majesty, is this really the deed of a main race?"

Alex nodded. "Noman belongs to the Vampire Royal Clan. He must've been following orders from them. So, it is indeed a job of the main race."

The people fell silent as they heard this. It was too much for them to digest the fact that a Seraphim was affiliated with the vampires. Also, if it was indeed ordered by the Royal Clan, then they believed Noman had no choice but to act on it.

They guessed that the whole thing must've been orchestrated by the Vampire Clan to corrupt Noman and turn him into a killing machine.

But other than that, if it was done by the vampires, things were much easier now.

Another round of discussion went on in the court and after a while, someone asked,

"Your Majesty, the CNC belongs to the eight main races. Are we just going to let the Vampires do as they please?"

"Yes."

"What!?"

The people in the court didn't expect such a fast response from Alex and not to mention, a yes. They were all too shocked.

Alex continued and said calmly, "as much as the CNC belongs to us, it also belongs to the vampires. They don't need to take permission from us to make changes if it is something urgent."

"Needless to say, there are six more races who are involved in this other than us two. The Angel race will stay passive and not do anything but watch the reactions of the others. We must not involve ourselves in unnecessary things such as this as our interests aren't harmed. The council members dying brings no harm to the Angel race."

"Remember, even if the council members died, there must've been a reason for it. The vampires wouldn't go about killing people without a reason."

It was as if an adult was explaining to a child about all the small things. Alex had to resort to doing this as not everyone in the court had the ability to analyze things from a higher perspective such as him.

The people in the court fell silent once again and realized what they were thinking wasn't right and that they were thinking a bit too much.

The Heavenly Emperor was correct, it was better to just let the other races do their things and stay neutral than to jump into the hot waters.

Alex, after noticing that everyone had understood his point, looked in a certain direction and said with a small smile,

"I wish I could see that guy's reaction."
