Chapter 704  The True Heir to Rule

At Cordon Castle

Xenia frowned as she watched the exact scene of what had happened to Osman before he disappeared using the same magic pearl that she used during the tournament. Opening its protective shell, she used the pearl to communicate with the Guardians of the forest as soon as she received the approval from Devas for them to resume communication.

From there, they managed to retrieve some important past details from the Lake of Life, and they let her watch the exact vision that they needed through her magical pearl. Everyone thought that Osman was already dead, but Xenia didn't believe that was the case. Like Bella, she still believed that Osman somehow survived, and was somewhere safe where they couldn't reach just yet. As such, she asked the Guardians for help to see just where exactly he was, as well as to discover what happened to him after his disappearance.

"Helena used all her might to destroy the Demon's bloodthread alongside the shadow that was going after Osman," Devas explained as soon as the vision of the past ended.

"That white lightning that Bella mentioned was Helena's power then…" Xenia weakly hummed.

"Yes. She arrived late to the scene, but she managed to destroy the Demon's darkness that was bound to haunt and kill Osman that night," Devas explained, his visage visible in the magical pearl that served to aid their communication with one another. "He was the sole target of the demon's bloodthread."

"Are you saying that Osman is a demon? But he's a Lycan!" Xenia incredulously pointed out. "Also, how come there's we can't see where he is now? What happened to him? Where is he?"

"We're still doing a bit of cleanup around the lake. The darkness affected a lot of things, and those still need more fixing," Polo began to explain. "So far, that's the only thing we managed to recover, and it also explains why Helena ended up outside the forest. She left looking for Osman, and when she found him, he was in great danger. She then dispelled all the magic left in her body to save him before it could naturally leave on its own. That was why her memories had been permanently erased…"

"But you must know a few more important facts about Osman…" Devas interrupted. "To answer your questions, he's a demon, but his demon blood was sealed by a spell as soon as he was born. Also, his parents were the ones that did it to conceal his power so that King Devon won't be able to track him down so easily…"

Xenia felt her tightening chest become heavier than usual. She was so utterly confused by what she just heard. But after a few moments, something dawned on her, making her eyes widen as she burst out, "No! That can't be true! Are you thinking that he's at the Kingdom of Helion right now?!"

"It's just Polo's hunch, but for now, nothing is certain if he's really there. We're just telling you so that you'll have some head ups on what to expect, especially now that there are some peace talks and meeting requests going on," Devas shrugged. "Osman's past was definitive. He's the person the Demon King is searching for… the true heir to rule the Kingdom of Helion."

Xenia's face paled. She had heard of a new ruler that ascended the throne two months ago in the Kingdom of Helion. That was also around the time when her brother killed King Devon, ending the long war between Ebodia and Helion.

"Could it be…" she murmured, feeling goosebumps rise all over her body. There were a lot of questions currently running in her head, but she knew she wouldn't be able to get enough answers to sate her at that moment.

"You'll know once you see and meet the new king of Helion during the peace talks…" Devas commented. "We can view the past, but it's limited, especially if it involves Demons. And even though we can see it, we're still not allowed to disclose it because of the rules of the Heavens. We'll be punished if we caused any disarray since our main duty is to keep the balance of this world. The Almighty gave some privileges to Demons to do whatever they want as a way for the Heavens to know who are the ones that will remain faithful to the Almighty…"

"I need to tell Darius about this," she weakly sighed as she sat on a chair closer to the cribs of her twins that were now nine months old. She was a full-time and hands-on mother to her twins, taking care of them without even asking the servants for assistance.

And just as she thought about it, Arden suddenly cooed, with Devas hearing it from his end of the line.

"Oh please show us Arden and Dinara," Devas excitedly beamed. "I can't wait to see those adorable babies in person."

Xenia shook her head as a lovely smile carved itself onto her face. The guardians really were like a third family to her these days.

"Give me that. Let me talk to the adorable babies," Saha interrupted as she pushed Devas to the side so Xenia's twins could see her.

Seeing the Guardian, however, Dinara suddenly cried.

"See? You're scaring the babies with your glowing yellow eyes!" Devas scoffed.

"You two stop fooling around. That's already enough for today," Polo scolded, making Xenia chuckle. "We can't use the pearl for this long a conversation!"

"Alright, I'll visit the forest with the twins as soon as we're able. That, and after we get a pass to enter and exit that realm," Xenia hummed. "For now, let's bid each other farewell. I'll talk to Darius about this new information, and I'll keep you all posted regarding the developments here and with Helena…"

Polo was right. She didn't want to overuse the magical pearl as well since it was very important. She heard once that it was the only one left of its kind, and it was too precious for her to break it now.

"Alright, goodbye for now then," Devas nodded as he waved goodbye. "We'll contact you again once Helena's replacement ascends…"

Seeing the other guardians wave goodbye, Xenia did the same until the vision of them started to disappear. She then put the magical pearl back in its pendant-styled shell before closing it.
