What In This World! Oh... Wait A Minute. It's Another World.

Chapter 20 - Dark Prince

"If this is this nation's greatest secret, why are you telling us?" (Carmen)

"I can see it in his eyes, he intends me to become king." (Dawson)

"Well, then, is not the secret best kept until that time?" (Carmen)

"That may be true under normal circ.u.mstances, but there are reasons I wish to tell you this secret now. Ones that will help you in time, but I cannot tell you." (Ernest)

"Okay... I can understand that, at least as well as possible anyway." (Carmen)

"So, to the point. What is this big secret?" (Dawson)

"As I suspect you have already discovered, you have a genetic gift having to do with being able to possibly obtain True God without having any affinity. This trait is not genetic, but is a trait given to the next person to become king, and that person is to become king on their 25th birthday. Now you may remember that trait saying it has a 100% chance to be inherited, but as I have just told you, inheriting is not done the way most would expect, instead it is done by the gods. So yes, there is a 100% chance that it will be inherited, but a 0% chance that it will simply be inherited by blood. Now that does not mean that those born of you will not inherit it, just that it won't simply be because you have it." (Ernest)

"Wait, so my own genetic trait is a national secret?!?" (Dawson)

"Yes and no, the entire nation knows to report if anyone outside of royalty has it, but they just assume that such would mean that royalty was messing around and that woman was the one who with." (Ernest)

"So, they've never really noticed that they always become king?" (Dawson)

"Only few of high realm have ever noticed that, and they choose not to mention it due to the fact that it no longer matters to most of them anyway, since they notice that the king always seems to be a godsend." (Ernest)

"Okay, well, has there ever been a woman who has had the trait?" (Dawson)

"Yes, though only once in recorded history, and when the king before her abdicated the throne to her, he said that for her reign the queen, and not the king, would be the first in charge of the country." (Ernest)

"So, if it were me, my say would come before Dawson's?" (Carmen)

"Precisely, now in your personal lives, it would still be between you two who would hold more power, same with for your children. Though since Dawson has the trait, you two need not worry about what if, and need to keep persevering in what is." (Ernest)

"Very wise words sire." (Mysterious voice)

"Who's there, and how long have you been there?" (Ernest)

"I've been here since you said Precisely, the most recent time that is, I know not if you said it more than once." (Mysterious Voice)

"And you are?" (Ernest)

"I am the current Dark Prince, and I've come to see if No-Shew-Add would like to join our alliance, We have only one other nation under our alliance thus far, and would like to expand it." (Dark Prince)

Directly after saying that, A man in a long black trench coat that had no hood walked forwards. However, we still could not see his face due to a manipulated shadow hiding it.

"And what would this alliance entail?" (Ernest)

After that the 'Dark Prince' conjured a paper that held the information for 'The Power That Be Alliance'. On this paper it showed that every nation that joined this alliance could not wage war with any other nation on this alliance, and if one nation went to war with one outside this alliance, all were obligated to assist. It continued, saying that all who were a part of this alliance must have the leader of the nation be the most powerful person of an element and change their kingdom's name to match that element, and the prince be the second most powerful.

"How do you determine this most powerful, does one need to be of your nation, or can anyone claim the throne if they can beat your king using only the element or elements he uses?" (Ernest)

"Anyone may challenge our King to a shadow duel, and if they win, our current King would become the Prince and that person would hold the title of Dark King." (Dark Prince)

"So, I know one who would be willing to challenge your Dark King, and would win." (Ernest)

"And who would this be?" (Dark Prince)

"My butler" (Ernest)

He scoffs, "Your butler? You really think a mere butler can beat our Dark King? Hah! I'd like to see him try, since the challenged is not allowed to be harmed more so than knocking them out, but the challenger is allowed to be killed." (Dark Prince)

"Well, He could incapacitate your Dark King with a mere flick of his wrist. Heck, He's even warded of God Rank Dark spell casters." (Ernest)

"So, are you stronger than him?" (Dark Prince)

"Take my power, multiply it by one thousand, and you have his power when he is putting in just a little effort." (Ernest)

I start to smell a strange odor, then notice what looks to be water under the Dark Prince's feet. It is at that moment that I realize that what I was smelling, was urine, and that this Dark Prince actually wet himself. I stifled a laugh.

With a scrunched up face "What's that smell?" (Carmen)

With Carmen's comment I just can't hold back my laughter anymore and bust up laughing.

"Wu-What's so funny?... Dawson?" (Carmen)

Calming down a bit, "I'm sorry, it's just, the Prince of Darkness here just pissed his pants." (Dawson)

"Well, I guess that'd explain the smell." (Carmen)

The darkness that was obstructing his face then proceeds to cover his entire body, even down to the point of covering the puddle that formed on the floor.

His voice with more distortion, "DON'T MOCK ME! Who in their right minds wouldn't be scared shitless by such power!?" (Dark Prince)

"Everyone, if the person was only being described to them, and only ones who have close to the same power or are allies of such a person if they are in the presence of that person." (Ernest)

After about a three-second pause, "Now, that whole debacle aside, so, can my butler challenge your Dark King?" (Ernest)

"B-by our rules, yh-yes..." (Dark Prince)

"Well, then, once He's done with his current assignment, I will send him over. And believe me, he can infiltrate your strongholds with ease, and knows where all of them are. I just accept that, though criminal in nature, you are a country. So I commonly treat you as such, hence my warning." (Ernest)

"W-well," Rushing the remaining of what he said, "I'll inform our King right away, please excuse me!" (Dark Prince)

With those words the Dark Prince's shadows bowed then sunk into the shadows, leaving only a puddle of urine behind. Father stands up.

"With that done with, let's move into another room. I'll have the maids clean up this mess with a bonus." (Ernest)

After that we drop by the throne room to pick up Ariko and Harrold, then the five of us go to my father's room. We pass a maid along the way, who my father tells that she will get a reward if she cleans the Special Conference Room of the Urine in it. She then quickly departs without asking any questions.

When we arrive in my father's room, He waves his hands, and we see an extra two chairs appear. Carmen and I sat in the love seat, My father sat in the main chair, and Ariko and Harrold sat in the two new chairs.

"Father, what spell was that, which allowed two chairs to be brought here?" (Dawson)

"That was my personal Void Magic, Move Location. It allows me to move any object I have ever touched to any location I can see, I can do it with the cloths on someone's back, but not the person themselves, for I can't move living things with it." (Ernest)

"I notice you said nothing, and every time I've seen one do a spell in the past, I've seen them speak. Can you please explain this, if you know the answer anyway?" (Carmen)

"That is because, all spells have more to do with visualization than the words, words just make a spell easier to visualize, but I don't need such tools with how good my imagination has become, being in two different worlds." (Ernest)

"If that is the case..." (Carmen)

She then closed her eyes and seemed to focus... as she was focusing we saw ripples of light cascade from her body and seem to go outwards not being obstructed by obstacles, but also not damaging their surroundings in any way. There was a total of four waves, each one being more powerful from the last. The last wave nearly blinded me.

Father's eyes went wide with what seemed to be shock at what he was seeing.

"Father?" (Dawson)

"I have never seen someone break directly into God realm in one try." (Ernest)

"Wait! What!... Carmen just became a light goddess?" (Dawson)

"That's one way to call it, yes... though it only makes her life expectancy 1,001,140 years." (Ernest)

"1,001,140! That's still way longer than anyone's life on earth!" (Dawson)

"But a True God is Immortal... However, they are not invulnerable." (Ernest)

Right when father finished his most recent statement, Carmen started to glow of light, then after a few moments it was as if she was never there.

Strike that, I just noticed, her imprints are still on the seat, like there is an invisible Carmen sitting on the chair.

"Carmen?" (Dawson)

"So? I did it didn't I? Turned myself invisible?" (Carmen)

A loud booming feminine voice, "Yes, you have done that god level spell. And without uttering a single word. I salute you." (Mysterious Voice)
