Even though both continents were aware of each other's existence, the reason there had been no form of interaction between the two was because of the existence of a subcontinent popularly called the Wild.

Although the Wild was called a subcontinent, it was far larger than both continents combined and humans had only explored a minimal amount of its vast lands. It was a land filled with strange and powerful creatures, thick Amazons, deserts, unstable weather, and a geography that made it unexplorable. These features as well as its lack of civilization made it unfit for the term 'continent'.

The only hope for Yeshu, who was unintentionally performing miracles was this deadly land. If luck was on his side, he could meet other miracle workers who were rumored to traverse the Wild and somehow make it to the Shiwa continent. 

Jose and Ariel made up their minds and decided to secretly include the unconscious Yeshu on the next expedition into the outer parts of the Wild. It was an expedition the newly crowned prince was going to hold as a gift to the Emperor.

....

Vera, the wife to Jose, was a woman with pure white skin, short hair, and a bewitching freckled face, every time she walked down the street everybody would admire her beauty and even take a peak at her nice 'rack and backside'. So, it wasn't a surprise when she caught the eye of Aon, the 18-year-old son of Viscount Ron.

Aon had heard the gist of the friendship between the royal guard and Jose so he made his decision to make Vera his concubine as discreet as possible to avoid the wrath of Ariel, the strongest man in the Empire.

Today, they met in a spot different from the one Yeshu had seen them in.

"Your husband is a dunce who does not deserve you." Aon said these words to Vera while gently stroking her cheeks.

"Do not speak of my husband that way!" Vera brushed off his hands and raised her voice at him.

"I do not believe it, you still defend your husband even after your disgusting act?" Aon was surprised that Vera could still act innocent even after all she had done.

"I only do this to alleviate the status of my children, my husband would understand." Vera said these words while trying to convince herself that they were the truth.

"Says the woman who I had by the back moaning and rolling her eyes with her tongue out." Aon laughed and mocked her while demonstrating his words. After, he picked up a fine glass and filled it with Shekhar(a strong drink).

"That--is..." Vera stammered as she tried to find an excuse to counter his words. She bowed in shame while thinking about her son who saw her committing such a vile act.

"For a woman who seems so innocent and naive, your moans are extremely loud and cat-like. Tell me, does your husband satisfy like I do?" Aon playfully said.

"Please stop." Vera said while wiping tears that flowed down her cheek.

'What a shameless woman' Aon thought to himself.

Aon made a sigh, finished his Shekhar, and vigorously sat on his bed.

"Anyway, I heard your son is unconscious, the gods are on our side."

"How so?" Vera lifted her head surprised by his words.

"This way your son never speaks of what he saw, now all that is left for us to do is kill your daughter." Aon said flippantly.

"Wh-" Aon didn't give Vera any chance to argue.

"All I need to do is report your daughter as a Miracle Worker and have her killed and do the same if your son does wake."

"What nonsense are you spouting?/" Vera screamed.

"Watch your tongue woman! Or would you like me to report you and your husband for shielding a miracle worker?" Aon said in an irritated tone.

"..." Vera shut her mouth as soon as she heard she could get punished as well.

"Even if you I had no idea about it, it would be your words against mine. Just shut up and listen to me and you will get whatever your heart desires."  Aon got up and stroked Vera's pretty white hair.

There were two reasons why Aon was willing to go this far. One, if Ariel found out, he would use his strength and authority to bring Aon's family to ruin and Two, the Emperor would punish him for defiling such a precious time.

"Hahaha, *Sniff*" Vera began laughing and crying at the same time. It was like she had gone mad.

"Promise to marry me after all this." Very timidly, Vera squeezed out her request.

"!..."

'Shameless indeed.' Aon was genuinely surprised at how easily Vera was willing to give up her children's life. Such a pretty and delicate mother could be this selfish? Aon decided to never judge a book by its cover.

"I promise. Let us use each other and reach greater heights."  

He held her by the back while he gently caressed her neck with soft kisses. He slowly moved his hands all over her body before using his firm and tough fingers to......[omitted]

....

The following day

It was the day of the inauguration and the Palace was filled with glamorous-looking nobles. Those who were visiting the palace for the first time couldn't help but admire it.

The exterior made of white limestone, the red bricks mixed with concrete on the outer walls, and the massive iron gates gave the palace a grand and imposing aura, one could even feel the delicate architectural skills used on the building.

The golden-painted pillars that held up a dragon's statue, the sweeping entrance stretched out in a long curve, the magnificent ornament embedded in the arched windows, and the multiple rooms filled with marble and jewels. It was an edifice.

*Singing* *Murmuring*

In the throne room, the nobles sat at a round table while enjoying the performance of three beautiful courtesans singing ballads. It was a joyous and festive atmosphere, several lords and nobles used this opportunity to mingle with each other and develop beneficial relationships. Some bragged about their wealth, some married out their children, some licked the boot of others while others simply enjoyed the feast.

"EMPEROR ETHAR T. SIMON II, RULER OF THE WEST GRACES US WITH HIS PRESENCE!" A knight shouted.

All the nobles, performers, and knights seized all activities, stood upright, and bowed their upper bodies with their eyes staring at the ground. And simultaneously, they shouted...

"WE GREET THE RULER OF THE WEST!"

The man who the greeting was directed at walked in slowly but majestically.

He had a bearded face riddled with spots and pimples, bloodshot eyes, loose skin, a bulging belly, and beautiful silky white hair. He wore a tight leather tunic embroidered and patterned with gold and white threads, silk trousers, brown fur boats, and a shoulder cloak that was long enough to drag on the ground, his beautiful silver crown and gemstone rings were the final touches that made one think 'THIS IS AN EMPEROR'.

Upon reaching his throne, he vigorously flapped his cloak as he sat on his beautiful silver throne.

The white-haired handsome crowned prince followed suit and sat on the emperor's left and last but not least the handsome, dark-haired, large-eyed middle-aged man with multiple ear piercings, Ariel, Captain of the royal guard strolled in without care and sat on the right side of the emperor. 

The nobles who still had their heads bowed looked at Ariel with disdain, he came from a small noble family so they had always felt he was lacking to be in his current position. But no one dared to speak up.

"Sit." the emperor commanded. 

At the order of the emperor, the nobles lifted their heads and took a seat at the round table. After seeing this, the crown prince started speaking.

"I am honored to have such distinguished dukes, marquesses, earls, viscounts, and barons celebrate this blessed day with me. I look at your faces and I worry not about the future because I am certain you will continue to assist me when I sit on the throne." the prince gave a brief speech that had a gracious yet imposing tone. He was sealed in the fact that he was the future emperor and commanded absolute loyalty at the same time.

At the end of the speech, the ceremony kick-started again and the festive atmosphere returned to the throne room.

The emperor was yet to officially name the young prince as the next emperor but after hearing the prince's speech the nobles were sure it was already a done deal. With this thought in mind, they began to hand over their gifts to the crown prince, jewelry, swords, rare ores, knights, commitments, pledges, and so on. They offered gifts of various kinds to consolidate their loyalty to the next emperor.

Time passed and it reached the turn of Viscount Ron.

"My prince, I dare say, my son wishes to present you your gift on my behalf." Viscount Ron said with his head slightly bowed.

"I allow it."

At the prince's words, Aon who had been waiting outside, walked into the room, paid his respects to the royal family and the nobles in the room, and knelt before the prince.

"I, on behalf of Viscount Ron would present you with the head of a Miracle Worker to commemorate this day."Aon said

"Ohhh." All the nobles made this sound, showing how surprised they were by the words of the young man.

Even the Emperor and the prince were quite startled. No Miracle Worker had been born or at the very least, been found in the Azori Empire in a hundred years. 

"Who is it?" the prince asked looking forward to being the first person in hundred years to crucify the heretics who tried to perform the work of God.

"Child of...."

*Dadada* Suddenly rushed footsteps were heard. 

They were the sound of all the knights and capable nobles rushing toward the throne and unsheathing their swords. Why?

It was because of the decapitated head lying on the ground.

.... just before Aon could complete his sentence, Ariel got up, unsheathed his longsword, and reached for the kneeling Aon before performing a low sword swing and decapitating the young noble. This was all done in less than a second. Nobody in the room could follow Ariel's movement but the decapitated head and Ariel standing with his bloodied sword were more than enough to deduce what had happened.

"What is the meaning of this?!" the Emperor shouted while being constantly surrounded by his knights and nobles.

"Remember your promise, Ethar? I would like to call you on that right now." Ariel responded.

No one apart from the Emperor could understand his words so they naturally assumed he had gone mad.

Viscount Ron, who had seen his son's headless corpse went blank for a moment before realizing that his son was dead. He boiled with rage and the sight. He unsheathed the sword of his knight who hadn't left his side and dashed toward Ariel while making an arc swing with his sword.

Ariel, who had his back to Ron noticed his approach and he immediately reacted. Ariel swiftly moved his body to the right causing Ron's swing to miss, his dashing momentum made Ron lose his balance after his miss and this slight body imbalance left his side wide open and defenseless. 

Ariel didn't fail to notice this and instantly counter-attacked by directing his body's weight to his wrist, tightening his grip on the hilt, and taking a merciless heavy swing to Ron's side. His sword cut through Ron's skin and muscles, before meeting his ribs and cutting his whole body in half.

Ariel shook off Ron's blood from his longsword before pointing it toward the knights and nobles surrounding the emperor.

"Move or DIE."

Ariel was ready to take the life of everyone in the room.
