Chapter 996: 16.42 First Red Star - Archbishop Mayonaka

Sighed!

Asher Light clicked his tongue and said, "Tsk! You should have told me everything from the very beginning. Did you think I would hate you just because you're a half-blood?! A lot of our group were half-bloods and we both planned to protect them together."

"I'm sorry. I have to protect Amber so I can't tell anyone about our bloodline. After all, if others learned about my vampire bloodline then..."

"They would learn that Amber is not an ordinary person and put her in danger. I'm sorry, I was being childish." The Holy Son apologized, and he finally realized that his friend never thought of betraying him. It's just that to protect his sole family, he can only keep his origin a secret.

Esther Dawn smiled and said, "This time I am not planning on hiding anymore. After all, you will be there to protect Amber and my family if something is to happen. Moreover, the Progenitor personally chose her to be the next heir thanks to that even the duke declared that her protection would be under his name."

"Are you for real!? The Progenitor of Blood had spoken. If that's real then... Having the duke as her guardian is the best shield." Asher Light said. "Anything to add? Is it about your father being alive?"

"He is indeed alive. In the underground prison of the Templar Temple, the lowest water dungeon that forbids everyone from approaching, he was locked in there. Mom had checked with her familiars and he was indeed there." Esther Dawn said.

Asher Light didn't expect that and said, "If it's that area that means the Pope is indeed hiding his existence. This is the first person he didn't kill right away after being betrayed."

"Actually... My father and the Pope seem to be brothers... biological ones. It's just that the Pope used the surname of his master while my father didn't after they were adopted. So..."

"Fuck! So we are brothers now...!" Exclaims Asher Light as he said in disbelief. "Thankfully that old man and I are not blood-related or else how can I continue pursuing your sister."

"Maybe you should try becoming the Pope first. The Duke would definitely not marry my sister to an ordinary man. She is a Pureblood Vampire Princess after all." Esther Dawn stated.

Asher Light complains, "Can you stop giving me pressure...?"

Hahaha~

Esther Dawn laughs at his friend with his current helpless expression. The Holy Son of the Templar Temple would act like an ordinary young man exclusively in front of him and his sister while acting austere in front of others to maintain his look as a sacred son.

"What would you need me to help you guys with? I know that since that old man was out of the picture all factions would definitely move against the Templar Temple. Not that I care whether they broke in, our people don't stay in the Main Temple. They wouldn't get involved." Asher Light said.

Esther Dawn said, "We already planned enough. The only problem is one person."

"If it is the Dungeons then..." Asher Light looked at Esther Dawn who was avoiding his gaze as his eyebrows twitched in the realization of why his friend was asking for his help. "You are talking about Yoru, aren't you? Can't you just go on a date with him once? He will definitely open the prison gates for you."

"Idiot! You know I don't see him like that!" Esther Dawn said. "He is just a friend. Yes... Just friend that bastard he dares to..."

"He dares what... You haven't told me what happened between you in your last mission at the North Pole."

"Nothing happened!!" Yelled Esther Dawn.

Asher Light looked at his friend weirdly and commented, "If you react like that everyone will realize something happened."

Esther Dawn suddenly grabbed his friend's collar and glared at him, "N.O.T.H.I.N.G. H.A.P.P.EN.E.D."

The Holy Son can only raise his hand in defeat. It is better not to say anything anymore as he is afraid of getting beaten up by his friend.

A guy with white hair and gold eyes sneezed somewhere in the Templar Temple's Subterranean Prison. He is quite a handsome man, and if it weren't for the scar on his cheekbones, he would be an ideal Male God.

Sneezed!

During his duties, Mayonaka Yoru murmured, "Is my darling talking trash about me again?"

His task was to watch over the sole prisoner at the lowest water dungeon. Despite he hasn't seen the prisoner's face within the dungeon, he and he share a strong bond. They were like pals who could talk for hours. Despite the fact that the topics of their discussions were typically basic and had nothing to do with the Templar Temple.

Mayonaka Yoru squats outside the stone door and slightly opens a small partition where he inserts the meals for the man locked inside.

Knock. Knock.

"Old man, are you still alive? I'm here to deliver your dinner!" Mayonaka Yoru said.

Luciel Dawn who was abruptly awakened by the rude kid outside replied, "You're a really rude brat. I'm awake. What's for dinner?"

"I stole some braised pork and an egg for you. Have a feast, old man." Mayonaka Yoru said.

Luciel Dawn said, "Well, thanks for that. My eldest son loves braised pork and eggs the most."

"What a coincidence~ my beloved also loves this one. Unfortunately, he hasn't returned from his mission with the Holy Son. So I'll give his part for you." Mayonaka Yoru said.

"So young... You have a beloved already. A Lady or a Gentleman?"

"You're so open-minded, Old Man. Well~ it's a gentleman. A beauty unparalleled in my eyes at least," said Mayonaka Yoru.

Luciel Dawn said, "The Apple of your eye. Well, it seems there is no need to introduce my daughter to you or my son since you're already attached."

"Tsk! I'm not interested in your children, old man. I already have my only one. My Luna who I have been waiting for all my life." Mayonaka Yoru said.

Luciel Dawn said, "Even for a half-blood you are quite loyal to your Luna."

"Of course, we do. A werewolf would go insane after they lost their Luna." Mayonaka Yoru said.

Luciel Dawn said, "No wonder. That's why when a Luna is found, the whole tribe will do their best to protect the Luna. The stronger the werewolf is, the more dangerous they would be when they lost their other half."

"It's not that different from the Blood Clan though, especially the Pureblood ones. They can only drink the blood of one person in their life and this being must be as strong or stronger than they are." Mayonaka Yoru said.

"And the moment they lose that only being they... will lose their will to live. Eventually, I will wish for everything to disappear until... Okay enough of them. You should also eat your dinner. I will be okay with this meal you gave me."

"By the way, old man. Don't call me a brat. My name is Mayonaka Yoru. You can call me that."

"Heh! Is that so? Then Yoru-kun... You can call this old man, Luciel... My surname is Da..."

"My Lord!!"

His words were cut off as someone suddenly arrived shouting something at Mayonaka Yoru who was the only one in this area.

"Archbishop Mayonaka, the Cardinals are summoning the lordship!"

Tsk!

"What the hell are those old things needed!? Aren't I working overtime already!? Do they want to kill me with the stress of something!? That Old Bastard won't drop dead out of nowhere. Let him sleep for eternity, that would be best for the world!" Mayonaka Yoru said.

"Please calm down my Lord! You cannot say that about the Pope. You'll get punished again."

"Let me get punished or something. What's the worst that can happen except for getting exiled!?" Mayonaka Yoru said to his subordinate then turned around and said to Luciel Dawn, "Old man, I need to get going. See you later!"

"Hahaha~ sure. Get going, brat!" Luciel Dawn said.

"My Lord, please don't talk to a prisoner like that. We can't..."

"Shut up. I will talk to whoever I want to. Go home, I will be okay on my own. Tsk!"

"Yes, sir!"

At the Templar Temple's Main Hall...

The two Cardinals who took over the reins while the Pope was away. Even so, because they were not as strong as the Pope, not everyone obeyed their orders. Their power was barely on par with the Archbishop and Mayonaka Yoru and Esther Dawn. Also, of the two Archbishops, Mayonaka Yoru is known for being a bad boy type. One who disregards the rules and does whatever he wants.

The two cardinals, Darius Rueden and Lemuel Elon were waiting for Archbishop Mayonaka Yoru in the temple's sacred hall. He entered the hall wearing a casual crimson robe with a black star design.

Mayonaka Yoru had his chin raised as he looked at the two old men before his face with an irritated expression on his face.

"What do you need this time? I'm already doing my duty to protect the Prisons. Stop giving me more work or at least call back my partner, Este-chan~ then maybe I might get interested in work," said Mayonaka Yoru.

As the Cardinals were used to his bad ways, they could only frown at his actions. Especially since they couldn't hold him back if he truly got angry and left in a rage.

Cardinal Darius said, "We can't call back Archbishop Dawn, the Holy Son wanted him to stay there as his protector."

"The hell he needs a protector! He is a lot stronger than Este-chan, moreover in Genus Academy infighting is forbidden. Didn't that Pope of yours end up like that?~ Because he broke a rule..." Mayonaka Yoru said with a mocking smile.

Cardinal Lemuel Elon yelled, "Ease your words! Such Blasphemy towards the Pope! Do you want to get executed!"

"Hah! Who will be able to kill me? One of you two? And how the hell are you guys going to do that? When you are weaker than me combined!?"

Mayonaka Yoru announced his almond-shaped eyes and golden irises blazing at the two cardinals, causing them to take a step back. He is a half-blood hybrid of an extinct wolf race. Snow wolves were supposed to be just as powerful as black-furred wolves. The two cardinals could only back off and turn a blind eye to this savage wolf capable of chewing off their necks if their defenses were relaxed.

Cardinal Lemuel Elon held back his anger and said, "We are not here to fight. We called you here just to inform you to tighten the guard on the water dungeon. That one is on the lowest floor."

Squinting his almond eyes, Mayonaka Yoru asked, "Why would you want me to do that? Is there something I need to know?"

Cardinals Darius and Lemuel looked at each other, obviously not willing to tell Mayonaka Yoru.

"Speak! I am not willing to work myself hard for no reason. If you are going to say anything then I'm going off from work."

"Wait, you damn brat!" The two cardinals said.

"Then just talk! Stop wasting my time."

Cardinal Darius said, "We'll say it! The other factions are on the move. They would definitely attack us now that the Pope is down."

"That person imprisoned in the lowest prison must never come out." Cardinal Lemuel said.

Mayonaka Yoru remembered the old man who was imprisoned in the water dungeon. That individual does not appear to be a horrible person, according to his intuition. At least in comparison to the Old Bastard, Kenan Light.

"Tell me the identity of the man in the dungeon. Then I will agree to guard your most important prisoner~" said Mayonaka Yoru.

The cardinals decided to tell everything to Mayonaka Yoru but everything that he learned about the man was something he never expected.

Shocked, Mayonaka Yoru mumbled, "The person who killed the father of Este-chan? This is..." This is totally a joke. Esther's father is still alive. It was because of this that Este had messaged me some time ago.

He had been told a falsehood without his knowledge. Ordinarily, he wouldn't believe anything these two old men said, but because Esther Dawn was involved, his mind was a little muddled, and this vulnerability was used by the two cardinals, who cast a spell on him, temporarily seizing possession of his mind.

"Don't blame us for this. We need to make everyone useful!"

"Blame the fact you didn't join any group and acted as a lone wolf. Loners can be easily controlled after all."

Last thoughts of Mayonaka Yoru before he completely fell under the spell, 'Tsk! I let my guard down. I wonder if Este-chan would cry if something happened to me. Well maybe... Not.'
