Isidoro's Thoughts

I didn’t hesitate when his highness told me he was going to show me something. Everything he did for me came from the kindness of his heart. Despite his intimidating, cold, and seemingly ruthless aura, his kindness also radiated brightly.

"I’m ready for what you'll show me, your highness," I said.

His highness placed his forefinger on my forehead, and suddenly, black and purple butterflies formed from his aura. They were majestic and otherworldly, floating around me protectively. Then, an influx of memories flowed into my head. It was like solving a puzzle at first, but soon the pieces formed a complete picture.

I saw how the five original houses desired the good of their citizens. However, the lower noble servants coveted their positions. Was it just jealousy that fueled their greed? Were they mistreated in the past? Why the envy?

More memories flooded in. I witnessed the lower nobility yearning for the power and influence of the five original families, wanting to reshape the nation with themselves at the helm. Their methods were ruthless and deceitful.

Someone was pulling the strings—a foreign power manipulating our nation. Yet, these disloyal servants framed the original families, plunging our once thriving kingdom into ruin.

The power I possess... It all makes sense now. I am a descendant of House Hangin. Before me stands a monarch with Bathala's blood—a Varalan ruler who carries the lineage of Bathala, the first Varalan to descend to Earth.This leader seeks not only to save our nation but also to exact revenge on those who corrupted our empire. His thirst for revenge is justified.

But why am I crying? It's as if I've beheld my deity for the first time—a profound feeling of attachment and loyalty beyond mere oaths.

“My liege,” I blurted out.

He looked at me and asked, “Are you ready to reclaim what is ours?”

Without hesitation, I replied, “Yes, my liege. Whatever you wish, I'll always be by your side.”
