In This Rebirth, The Male Lead Is Mine [BL]

As soon as the palace lights glimmered, everyone became aware that the master of this place had awakened. They quickly paused what they were doing and assembled in front of the palace.

Except for one person qualified to enter, everyone remained kneeling in their position.

”Your Majesty.” The man kneeled before the high throne, bowing his head and not daring to look directly at the majesty of the queen.

The woman merely nodded, both arms resting on the throne’s arms. Her eyes gleamed as she stared at the kneeling servant.

”How is the progress with that human?”

The man immediately knew who she was talking to, as there was only one human the queen could be interested in.

”There’s still some time before he becomes complete.”

”Too slow!” Her voice, while calm, was like a roar that resonated throughout the place.

The man and everyone who was kneeling outside could hear the rage within the voice, and they prostrated even more.

”We apologize, Your Majesty!”

”Please calm your anger.”

The chant began, but the woman couldn’t care less about that. She focused the pressure on the man kneeling before her, not minding how this would injure him.

”Dispatch that human as soon as possible. The Great One’s will had descended upon me, urging for everything to move much faster than planned.”

The man was startled.

”But... the human...”

”I don’t care! The human is important to the plan. Make sure he’s ready.”

Upon saying that, she waved her hand and dismissed him. She then closed her eyes. She looked calm, but her hand was tightly clenched.

The rage she felt from the Great One made her more apprehensive. Even she was terrified.

This plan needed to be accomplished as soon as possible or... They would die!

The man had no choice but to mobilize everything and speed up their preparations, which still needed three more years to complete.

There was nothing that could be done but lower the initially planned evaluation.

The moment the woman awakened and everyone was mobilized, some people had already gotten the news. The spies from other noble domains became active, sending reports to their respective masters.

”That old hag awakened?”

”Oh, she’s very suspicious.”

”Listen, I want you all to know what she’s planning!”

These situations were happening to most noble domains that were qualified to spy on the majestic noble queen. After all, in the noble race, they did not have loyalty or a strict hierarchy.

The titles they had were more about how high their existence was and the indication of their power within the race. Someone being a queen did not mean they were the leader of the nobles.

For a moment, the beings beyond the gate became lively. It caused the fluctuations of the gates to decrease, a phenomenon that made every world invaded by the nobles uneasy.

As for the majority of the people, the nobles were still far from their reach. The same was true for Kamille and Rise. They spend the day with each other and make sure their presence assures and calms their minds.

They temporarily set everything aside for a day.

The next day, the two met Zenos and Dan. They returned from the central city. Their eyes carried some fear as they looked at Kamille and Rise.

They only know the plan to some extent, but the process of accomplishing that was up to the two. They only needed to create chaos and then evacuate the people once the signal arrived.

However...

What they had witnessed in the city overturned most of their knowledge. It was like hell had descended. The city was now destroyed.

”Why are you looking at us like that?” Rise arched his brows, looking suspiciously at the two. Then, he glanced at Kamille at his side.

Since he was unconscious, Rise did not know what happened after that. Could Kamille have done something in the central city?

Zenos and Dan froze at the question. They lowered their heads, unable to answer.

Rise narrowed his eyes. ”Speak.”

Accompanied by his word was a pressure descending around the two. They clenched their hands and slowly recounted what happened to Rise.

Then, Zenos spoke about the natives’ actions and Dan about the outsiders, the espers.

Rise nodded slightly as he listened. His eyes landed on Kamille, and the other quickly noticed and met his eyes. There was not a slight guilt in those crimson pupils, as though what the two were talking about had nothing to do with him.

He was the same. Rise, already resolved to win this war, no matter what it takes. Even if the world were destroyed in the process.

What does your clan have to say about this?” Rise turned to Zenos. While they were not in cahoots with the central city, Zenos and his clan were still people of this world after all.

Rise might not be a kind master, but he was not that ruthless. Or so he thought; who knows what his subordinates felt about him? The underworld espers surely hated him, but did not dare to show it.

”A letter arrived to convene a large-scale meeting, but Father and the elders had yet to make a decision without your consent.”

When Rise was unconscious, the letter intending to convene all the known leaders in this world arrived. However, since Rise was technically the master of this clan, they had not decide yet and waited for Rise to wake up.

Rise then turned to Dan. Unlike Zenos and the underworld espers, he merely used overwhelming might to subdue Dan and his group. He did not use the seed on him.

He was not sure about his loyalty, and as Rise often said, he never needed their loyalty. Rise did not trust him, but using him was no issue for him.

”Any news about our side?”

Kamille surely would not care about the latest news or the order the government might have given to the espers. Rise could only ask Dan.

Although nervous inside, Dan calmly told Rise what he knew.

Unlike the last time or the original plot, where Dan’s group was the reason the war finally erupted between the natives and the outsiders, Kamille’s actions made it more intense.

It seemed there was no chance of reconciliation this time. The natives fully believed the outsiders were the ones who set such a calamity in their world.

The government was also not to be trifled with. They were ’righteous invaders’ and would not tolerate slander. The government really did not dare to claim the incident since it was such a large-scale disaster.

And no one knew who did it. The fire was truly strange, something unheard of.

Now, it was in a stalemate, but tension was already brewing.
