[XEROLINE] ZERO DIMENSION Part 1
Chapter 14's

Great Imperial Castle, Great King's workroom. Edward Demonstra was the first Great King after the fight between the two countries was over. He still has to solve some problems, namely improving the economy of the kingdom that was almost destroyed by the war. Although he often does the same task at all times, he will still be exhausted in the brain.

Xesa Demonstra was working on some of his documents and desk right next to Edward Demonstra. He asked, why did Edward Demonstra still have to work on something that was not his forte.

“Daddy, why don't you leave this task to me alone?”

“Ah.... You're too worried, yeah. It is like food for the mind and the mind. So don't worry.”

“I still have one more question.”

“What is it?”

“What is father's relationship with Rosalia Ethelwish, other than enemies?”

“Why are you asking about it again? Not that I told you he was a traitor of the kingdom.”

“Iya. But.”

“Already...”.

Edward Demonstra doesn't want Xesa Demonstra to know anything about her relationship with Rosalia Ethelwish. He tells Xesa Demonstra that their relationship is just an enemy of different principles. And also he forbade Xesa Demonstra from searching their relationship again.

The middle of the night has arrived. Edward Demonstra just finished a pile of paper documents that seemed to need to be signed on his behalf. Before he signed his signature, he had to check the documents carefully and thoroughly. Because if something goes wrong, the kingdom will be able to lose only because of one or two documents.

In the meantime, Xesa has completed the entire paperwork, and he will assist Edward Demonstra in signing documents that need to be signed. But he was rejected by Edward Demonstra, because the signatures must be original and not written by others.

“Sorry, Xesa. Signatures for these documents must be original not handwritten by others.”

“Dad, come.... You know I often imitate the handwriting of others for the sake of a mission.”

“Hahaha.... It was just a mission. It's different from a mission, and you don't have to do it either. You better just go back to your bedroom, and get ready for tomorrow.”

“Good. Dad, don't fall asleep later!”

“Ok.”

Xesa Demonstra walked out of the study and headed to his bedroom to rest. Edward Demonstra was pleased that their relationship was still father and son even though Xesa was his adopted son. And only a few people know about Xesa is his adopted son, and the rest know the rumor that he has an illegitimate wife and Xesa Demonstra is his illegitimate son.

After completing all the documents he had stacked, he began to contact someone using a communication device created from the origin of the cooperation of the Great Kingdom and the Holy Kingdom is still in secret.

“Halo, Rossa.”

“Why did you call me these nights? You know that if I don't sleep enough I'll die.”

“Do not die first, before I insert your body it.”

“Hahaha.... Could have made fun of it. And then why did you call me?”

“I just want to know how much longer we're going to war? So that both parties can be equal again.”

“I don't know yet, because there are still some issues to deal with. And I am also the chief leader in this kingdom, so it is difficult for me to determine when we can fight again? Or better we cooperate first in creating that tool again.”

“No way, we can create that tool again. And you know before we quarrel, we one village cannot and fail a hundred times more. So...”

“The stranger. He has delivered a prophecy that is exactly the same as the prophecy of the ancestors.”

“Alien... You mean the one who interrupted us earlier.”

“Iya. I told..”.

Rosalia Ethelwish recounts the whole incident at her time at the Dawes family residence, and also tells that the stranger knows something about her. But the stranger he had met earlier was the same person as the stranger. So he can only speculate that the person he met earlier was the messenger or shadow of the stranger.

“If you say that he is a shadow of that person, then you should know from where he is around. But that person absorbed all the surrounding mana endlessly. How much does that person absorb mana?”

“All which are colorful and the amount absorbed is very much.”

“All...? Is he an unlimited storage like the dimensional bag you once made.”

“Iya, like that. So what are your actions, if you meet that person.”

“Then do not...”.

While he was still in talks with Rosalia Ethelwish using a remote communication device, he heard the voice of a maid who asked for help not far from his room.

“Please...! Your Majesty!”

Edward Demonstra immediately went towards the voice and threw away the communication device. He was convinced that it was the voice of one of the maids in the castle.

“Hello, Edward. Hola... Hello...”

When Edward was at the place where the voice was, he saw a servant killed before his eyes, and the one who killed him was the one who interrupted his fight two days ago.

“Let him go, Monster!”

"Gee..... Hello, Your Majesty the Great King Edward Demonstra.”

Edward Demonstra attacked the stranger, but his efforts were in vain because the body of the stranger could penetrate the attack and cause no injury to him. The stranger was none other than Myso. A figure that bears a resemblance to End Draking. He came as a provocation,

Myso let go of the maid, and then she walked towards the closed window. The closed window was opened by him very wide, and then the morning air blew into the palace hall and penetrated his body.

“Hah.... Mortal Beings, I don't know why you can be so angry when you lose someone who is useless to you?”

“What are you doing, Monster? Aren't you enough to get in the way of our fight!”

“Master would be happy if he was called like that. I know why he was called a monster. But a person who forcibly seized one's happiness and freedom from two hundred years ago to the present, could he be said to be a monster or worse than that?”

“Shut!”

Edward Demonstra could not contain his anger, but he could only keep silent while holding the corpse of the palace maid in both hands. He also understood what Myso said about him.

“Who are you really? Did you know about the Demonstra Tribe?”

“I know all that is in this world to its roots, for I am the eye of the real world.”

“So do you really know?”

“I'm not interested in the past, but I'm more interested in your power. I know that your power is not from yourself, but a rock from outer space.”

“Why can you know it?”

"I told you, I know everything. And also the stone granted your request, right. You want to turn this world into peace, and that request becomes you as someone half-eternal.”

How did he know that far? I never told anyone, including Rossa. Does he really know everything in this world? But why would he not want to answer my previous questions about my past.

“You don't need to know, and also the child is the child of you two. You name the child, because you remind your child who died at the age of children.”

“Shut up! Enough already! What do you really want?”

“Tomorrow someone came from outer space like us. I want you to kill him or take him alive in front of us. If you do that, I will grant one of your wishes, which is to negate your eternal half.”

Edward Demonstra was confused because he didn't know what to do. He did not expect that the man knew all about himself, and he had to be careful. Moreover, that person would grant any request, if he did what was given to him as a condition.

“Good. I'm gonna do it. But I want you not to disturb all of us in the world.”

"I only live as a servant and as a companion in this game between the Creator of the whole world from small to large size with the Master. So I won't bother you too much, nor am I from this dimension either.”

After saying a complicated thing translated, he went from there by removing himself like a soft and comfortable air blown by the wind. Edward Demonstra could only blame himself for following the orders of the stranger.

“Ah... Wh why? Why can I humble myself again and again? I need to contact him about this incident. I'm sure he can help me. And also I have to prepare a funeral for this servant.”

In the morning, Edward Demonstra as the Great King followed the funeral of the dead maid. Within him, he felt a little guilty because he was late in saving one of the people he had to protect.

“Your Majesty, this is not your fault.”

“I know, Xesa.”

Xesa also attended the funeral. The servant was one of the loyal servants and had worked for ten years in the castle. But an unexpected incident made him feel sad over the loss of the waiter.
