Time passed swiftly, and before everyone knew it, the Grand Event of the Divine Empire would commence in three days.
The security within the Capital City of the Divine Empire, Xavier City, had become stricter.
But that didn't stop the flow of people, who had come to participate in its Founding Anniversary.
It was also then that Victor and Tristan arrived at the bustling capital. Both of them had undergone a strict screening, but the two didn't mind it one bit.
While they were being interviewed by one of the High-Ranking Templars of the Divine Army, the Teleportation Gate behind them glowed faintly.
A moment later, a dozen people appeared, and the two standing in front of them were two of the VIP Guests that the Divine Army was expecting to arrive.
The High Templar who was interviewing Victor and Tristan, politely excused himself before greeting the guests who had just arrived in their Capital City.
"Welcome to Xavier City, Your Majesty," the High Templar bowed his head in a very respectful manner. "We have been waiting for your arrival. Please, allow my subordinate to guide you to your accommodation."
The one whom the High Templar referred to as Your Majesty was a handsome elf who seemed to be in his early forties.
He was none other than the High King of the Elven City of Espoire Frieden.
A kingdom that was said to be as old as the Kingdom of Agartha and shared a similar level of prestige.
He was none other than Hereswith's Father, Kazimir El Frieden.
Truth be told, he didn't want to attend this Founding Anniversary because he still held a grudge about what the Divine Army had done to his daughter.
However, after hearing that the one who was about to be executed was none other than his daughter's Disciple, Gaap, the High King of the High Elves decided to go.
Kazimir was one of the Supremes of the Elven Race. He also brought a dozen Saints with him, including his nephew, Lorelei, who had insisted on coming with him.
Victor could only sigh as he watched the Elven Delegation walk past him. He wished that he had the same status as them, which would make everyone treat him with such reverence and respect.
A minute later, the Teleportation Gate once again showed signs that a new batch of people was about to appear.
This Teleportation Gate could only be used by the VIPs who were personally invited by the Highest Ranking Members of the Divine Army, which made many people wonder who was about to make their appearance.
After a few seconds, a dozen people appeared in front of the Teleportation Gate.
This time, the group was led by the Dragon King of Karhsvar Draconis himself, and he also brought his people with him.
On his right side was Cethus' grandma, Lady Faustina. Surprisingly, there were three young ladies beside her, whom Lux would immediately recognize if he was there to see them.
They were none other than Valerie, who was wearing her disguise, and her two handmaidens, Ali and Ari.
She had insisted on coming with her father to the Divine Empire because she was very worried about Lux.
Valerie didn't know where Lux went after learning about what happened to his Master, but she was certain that he would definitely make his appearance on the execution day to save his Master, Gaap.
She had been unable to sleep for the past few days due to anxiety, so when her father mentioned that he'd go to the Divine Empire, she insisted on going with him no matter what.
Surprisingly, the Dragon King agreed to let her go with him.
He knew that he couldn't let his daughter remain ignorant of the world, which was why he decided to take her with him. Hopefully, she'd understand that life wasn't filled with only butterflies and rainbows.
Similar to what happened earlier, they were respectfully led away by the High-Ranking Members of the Divine Army, causing everyone to look at them with reverence.
But just as they were about to leave, the Teleportation Gate activated again and, this time, the representatives of the Crystal Palace, led by the Steward, Lady Augustina, appeared.
"Aur," Valerie smiled weakly and waved at the handsome Dragon Prince, who was standing beside his Aunt.
Aur smiled and gave Valerie a brief nod of acknowledgement.
Due to the complex relationship between Karhsvar Draconis and the Crystal Palace, he didn't want to appear too friendly, fearing that the Dragon Princess might get punished for her carefree actions.
"Let's go, Aur."
"Yes, Aunt."
The Steward of the Crystal Palace and her entourage walked past the Dragon King, not even bothering to give him a second glance.
Piccoro even sneered at Valerie's father, which showed how much dislike he had for the Fake King of the Dragonkind.
The Dragon King didn't take Piccoro's action to heart and simply made a gesture for the guide to take them to their residence.
Soon, everyone settled down. A few minutes later, Victor and Tristan were guided to their accommodation by one of the officers of the Divine Army.
Compared to the treatment that the VIPs received from the Divine Army, the treatment they received showed the difference between heaven and earth.
However, Victor was still happy because they were given a luxurious residence that befits his Rank as King of a Kingdom.
High above the tower of the Divine Palace, the Oracle lightly tapped her finger in a large bowl of water.
She was using her Divination in order to find Lux's whereabouts, but her effort didn't result in anything.
The Oracle wasn't too disappointed by this result because this wasn't the first time that she had done such a thing. People who had strong ties with Fate weren't easily affected by Divinations.
As a Progenitor, Lux's Fate was very strong.
This was why the Divine Army wasn't able to lock onto his location despite their ability to see anything past their borders.
'It doesn't matter where you are,' the Oracle mused as she looked at the surface of the water that reflected her beautiful appearance. 'Three days from now, you will appear in the Capital whether you like it or not.'
The Oracle smiled as she gazed at the city where the different powers of the world were gathering.
They had prepared a grand stage for the Necromancer of Heaven, and she was looking forward to an entertaining show.
"A Heaven's Necromancer?" the Oracle sneered. "Such heresy."
Without another word, the Oracle of the Divine Army disappeared in a shower of sparks.
There were still some final preparations to make. She would ensure that the moment the Half-Elf made his appearance, she would mark the end of his life with her own hands.
