Chapter 676 Memory Wipe
The day Nial all memories of the past dispersed happened on the day of the Creatoran's annihilation.
At least, it was supposed to be the day the Creatoran should be annihilated by the Advocate of the Pryard.
It was the day of the Royal Prince's first birthday. A huge celebration was held for the Royal Prince, whose birth was considered a miracle in itself.
The lineage of the royal family was long and their bloodline was mighty, to the extent that it was potent enough to decrease the fertility of the men and women hailing from the royal family.
Under normal circumstances, one would think that the royal family would have dozens of children to reassure that their lineage would never cease to exist. However, not only was the Emperor loyal to the Empress for the last 400 years even though they couldn't give birth to a child, but he even rejected the Empress' proposal to get a few concubines to make sure that there would be at least one successor, even if it was just an illegitimate child.
The bloodline of the Lacardian royal family was not supposed to cease to exist. The Emperor rejected the 'proposal' his wife threw at him and it was only years later that the miracle occurred.
A child born from the powerful bloodlines of the Lacardian royal family and the heiress of the Mythic Eyes Sect was born. Both possessed an extremely low fertility rate but the miracle occurred nonetheless.
Nial was born and his existence was celebrated. The Creatoran celebrated for a full month. Nial didn't really notice much about it, but he could occasionally hear a loud commotion outside. After all, celebrations of the Creatoran race were usually huge and extremely loud. But that was only to be expected from a race where everyone possessed a Familiar. Some Familiars were humongous, and unique constructions have been built to use their built and special traits to turn even small events into magnificent celebrations like there were no others.
That was also why Nial found himself on the huge terrace of the Royal Palace on his birthday. The Emperor and the Empress were standing hand in hand on the railing of the terrace, overlooking the city below, watching as their subjects clustered the streets and plaza.
Nial sat on Rex's head, holding one of the Blaze Dragon's lengthy curved horns as the dragon was lying on the terrace, curled up around the Emperor and the Empress.
Rex slowly moved his head, raising it high into the air, exposing the young Royal Prince to the wide world.
Nial was a little overwhelmed but this feeling grew only more intense as the indomitable might of the Royal Palace began to shroud him.
It was almost as if Royal Palace's might swept through his entire body, cleansing his soul. A connection was formed between Nial and the Royal Palace, or precisely the ancient heirloom that had been buried beneath the Royal Palace.
The empire's palace was a grand structure that dominated the skyline of the capital, radiating an overwhelming sense of power and majesty. Its towering spires, intricate domes, and ornate facade demonstrated the might of the ruling dynasty and the long history of the royal family of over ten thousand years.
That was how old the royal palace was. It lasted ten thousand years and was naturally maintained by the connection it had to the ancient heirloom of the royal family, allowing it to last another ten thousand years, or even longer as long as the Creatoran wouldn't cease to exist, burying the history of the race that had changed everything in the Lacardian Empyrean Void.
He was being assessed by the ancient heirloom of the royal family, and his claim of the throne was accepted and supported by the ancient heirloom that existed for a longer time than the Lacardian Empyrean Void.
Being accepted by the ancient heirloom was not an easy feat. Most Emperors of the Lacardian royal family had never received the acceptance of the heirloom in their entire life. Even the current Emperor, Nial's father didn't have an easy time fighting for the acceptance of the ancient heirloom, which granted him a speck of its sheer endless power.
Only after attaining great achievements for the Creatoran was it possible for the Lacardian family to receive the acceptance of the ancient heirloom, yet Nial was given its blessing without any of that.
A mysterious might streamed through his body, and Nial felt that he could tap into this might as long as he desired to do so.
Tapping into the mysterious might caused a burst of energy to sweep through his entire existence. Unable to control this mysterious might, at all, Nial unleashed a terrifying shockwave that blasted across the entire capital, overshadowing the sound of trumpets and horns that had echoed through palace halls, and the cheers of the people who were addicted to the electric feeling in the atmosphere, causing their cheers to growing louder and louder.
The heady scent of flowers, food, and incense hung in the air, but the presence of something mystical seemed to have been added to everything. The vibrant and dazzling colors of the decoration and the people's clothing seemed to be much more intenser than before, just for utter silence to spread through the entire capital.
If someone would drop a needle on the ground at one corner of the capital, even the deaf on the other side of the capital would be able to hear it at this very moment.
The Emperor and Empress stood tall, their head raised to see the indomitable and majestic aura that swirled around their child, the Royal Prince of the Lacardian Empyrean Void, their little treasure, the hope of their race, Nial Lacardian.
The silence in the capital was heavy, but it was also filled with a trace of joy. It was the kind of joy one felt spreading through the whole body, joy that was addictive for everyone who felt it. It was highly contagious and reached every nook and cranny in the capital.
Then the thunderous cheering began…and Nial's memories dispersed.
