The Path Of The Great Sovereign - Chapter 163

The Great Forest of Tob surrounds the Azerlisia Mountains which house the Dwarven Kingdom and the demi-human settlements. Within this forest, there is a large lake that spans 1/10th of the mountain range, on the western shore of the lake resides the lizardmen settlements. After being secluded from humans and other races due to there location the Lizardmen became more and more complacent which caused them to forget the teachings of old making them far weaker than ever before. Near the eastern shore of the Lake within the treeline of the Great Forest of Tob sat a wooden hut. Actually, to call this building a hut was like calling a mansion “Humble”, within this hut sat Cocuytus, and Pandora’s Actor.

These three were given a time limit of 1 week to make all of the Demi-Human settlements within the Great Forest of Tob fall under the banner of Nazarick.

Meanwhile, Tatsuo decided he too would join in on the fun by heading towards the most Northern region of the Empire, where a newly established Noble family with the Rank of Baron was reclaiming land to create a settlement. Compared to Ains’ target the Re-Estize Kingdom the Empire was far more stable due to Emperor Jircniv Rune Farlord El Nix’s elimination of all Noble that threatened his rule. This is why Tatsuo choose this specific Noble family as it was exiled and demoted from a Great noble family with the peerage of Margrave (Margrave is the same rank as Marquis, the difference is a Margrave holds Land while a Marquis does not.) to their current rank of Baron. This family also only had 1 potential Heir who was sick while the old master was slowly aging getting closer and closer to death so Tatsuo’s Plan was simple he would claim to be the Illigitamate child of this Hoga Noble family and become the New head.

Even in this world of Magic the Land, the Hoga family were sent to was extremely vast yet dangerous to the North was the Great Sea that went as far as the eye could see, to the east was the Chimamire Mountain range filled with many high leveled beasts some even claim a dragon resides within, this mountain range was included into the peerage. To the west was the Azerlisia Mountain range which acts as a border between the Re-Estize Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire, and to the south was the Swamp of Death where if you didn’t die by the creatures pestilence or poison got you.

Yet the entirety of the area was about the size of the state of Alaska back on earth, There Baron Peerage was the Largest Peerage within the Empire yet it was also “Impossible to reclaim”, even more so due to the number of people the Emperor allowed them to take with them which including the 2 members of the Household numbered 20, basically the Emperor sent them here to die a perfect place to allow the Members of the Night Empire to come over and grow without anyone including Ains knowing about it.

As Tatsuo walked up to the small wooden huts in a small clearing near the Northern Most border of the territory he cast the Tier 9 Magic which was directed at the Leader of the Hoga Family, Baron Maximillian Von Hoga the 19th. As it was currently Late at Night the Baron was in deep sleep which made it much easier for the new memories to seep into his Subconscious and the Moment he sees Tatsuo these memories will awaken.

When the sun rose over the small settlement of Hoga as the waves caressed the coast bringing the smell of saltwater into the morning breeze. Baron Hoga woke up in a foul mood, well his mood has been foul since the day the Emperor declared the orders that placed them in their current position. Baron Hoga just turned 81 this year and he was not getting any younger yet he had no one to pass on the torch too. He originally had a large family with 3 wives and 17 Children, 7 Sons and 10 Daughters which were all married out to increase connections. Life was grand until he supported the 6th Prince for the throne.

Out of all the Princes, no one thought the youngest 9th Prince would take the Throne and when he did the New emperor Slaughtered his brothers and all noble families that supported them propping his people up into those positions. Which Left the Baron with 1 Son his crippled one.

Taking a step out of the Hut which was a far cry from his Magnificent estate in the South he spotted a Young teen walking Towards them, His Hair one side looked like freshly fallen snow while the other looked as if it was dipped into the darkest ink, his eyes Peirceing as he looked at the old man before him with great interest.

“You, You are Hevanah’s Child your hair is just like hers from all those years ago.”

Out of reflex, he walked into the hut to retrieve a magic tool which he activated and scanned Tatsuo with.

“It is true, You are my Child.”
