Buranda Kingdom

The Buranda Kingdom is the place where Yelena Owen, the strongest man alive was born at. They are famous because of their amazing agriculture. Most of the beings living there are demi-beasts. Demi-beasts are beings stronger than humans, physically of course. Humans have higher intelligence by default, however in a one-on-one fight between a regular human and a demi-beast in a room desolate of anything, with no weapons nor environmental advantages. I would bet all my treasuries that the demi-beast will win.

Yelena Owen is not a demi-beast nor is he a human. His mother is a slave, to be more specific, she was a sex slave. His father is a corrupt noble who has this human fetish. That's why he only aims at human slaves, both men and women, none could escape his grasp.

Yelena Owen is a half demi-beast and half human. Conversely, he sided with humanity more than his demi-beast nature. That's how he is considered the strongest man alive and not the strongest demi-beast alive.

Yelena Owen has both the intelligence of mankind and the strength of a demi-beast. Through his genetic mutation, he has a human face with a humanly physical appearance, however, he can sprout sharp claws out of his finger, which he used in battles the most.

That's all the information I could gather about Yelena Owen from The Northanrey library.

The problem is, we don't know for sure whether or not Yelena Owen will side with the Buranda Kingdom or Acasti Empire.

Through his backstory, we concluded that Yelena Owen will not be a threat if the Buranda Kingdom comes to invade. We also concluded that Yelena Owen will have a deep grudge against the Buranda Kingdom because of the things they did to him and his mother.

We hope he will not be against us.

His feats alone give shivers to my bone.

He once defeated a dragon, which is not a normal dragon at all. It was an eldritch dragon who has broken out of Ground Zero. The eldritch dragon is one of the scariest and strongest beings sealed in Ground Zero.

Feys, demons, evil dragons, and dark spirits are all sealed in Ground Zero; the most secured confinement field of all historical time.

It is situated 50km below Thrytinia's surface.

Millions of guards have died working there. Now, they don't use guards, they use these artificial humans to guard the prisoners from ever reaching the surface.

Note that these artificial humans are the same kind used by my mother as our carriage driver.

They have all kinds of runes to seal and confine these powerful diabolical beings of true evilness.

Feys are what I think are the most dangerous kind of organism prisoned there.

Feys are deceitful, cunning, and wise in using their skills and abilities to the strongest extent. They are what we now call primordials. Beings that lived even before life exists. The first ever beings to step on the surface of Thrytinia.

Feys used to be spirits, but after deceiving other spirits and killing almost every last of their kin. 4 spirits come to action. These 4 spirits are now what we call, The 4 Seraphim. The 4 Seraphim are powerful, however, they are on the neutral side. They are not dark nor light, nor evil nor kind. They are grey. They have immense strength, which they use to observe and protect the balance between the power system.

I struggle to understand what this power system is. Does it mean that these Seraphim will kill anyone who is too strong? What are their goals? Do they even have a life? Are they dead? Are they alive? How did they become grey? Spirits are told to be this pure holiness incarnate, so then how and why?

These are the questions that may never be answered. A long-forgotten piece of bread that has rotted to its very fungi, never to be eaten again.

In Tessa's tower,

"So, that concludes our meeting today. Does anyone has a question in mind?" I ask the 3 others.

Tessa simply shakes her head. Dylan has this weird starry gaze on me. And mom is pondering seriously while scratching her forehead.

"Great. Those are all the information for the Buranda Kingdom and York family. I hope you all understand, thank you." I say, ending the speech. My mom raised her hand.

"What kind of tactic should we use to prevent this war?" Wait. Why are you asking me this?!

"Ummm... I was hoping either Dylan or you can help, I'm not an expert in this department." I refute.

"Oh yeah. I was lost in thoughts I forgot that you're my child, not my mom." Mother says. "You speak like your grandma." She smiles a nostalgic smile full of unspoken memories.

"Yosh! Let's change the topic. What is it for our dinner mom?" I try to change the mood.

"That's up to you. You can ask the chef anything." Mom says.

Hmm... "When will Six of Spades leave?" I ask.

"No. They won't leave now that you know of their identity."

"What about their work?"

"They can manage it all here. They have many passive incomes you see." She said.

"So... They're free?"

"Yes."

Then couldn't I just recruit these talented people to work for my later business?

Hmm... let's see

I now have Caz, who will be a great CEO. The one who manages and makes the smartest decisions. Since I will leave soon, I can't be the CEO. There has to be someone to replace me and now I got a great substitute.

Brooke will be the lead scientist.

Cassey will be the lead alchemist.

Cory can... I don't know. Caz can handle him, Desmond, as well.

Mom can just use her connections to promote this business.

I now need to pitch a plan to them. Hopefully, they agree to work with me or it will be a great disappointment.

Business aside, I still don't know what the York family and the Buranda Kingdom are up to. They're highly unpredictable, as seen by their recent actions and after digging down their past, I can confirm that they're unpredictable there as well.

What are they thinking? Why would they be doing this? What even is their motivation?

I can't figure them out.

The York family made decisions after decisions in almost no time. The Buranda Kingdom's royalty hasn't been seen outside their castle for a very long time.

There are no patterns in their actions. It's so abstract yet beautifully done at the same time. All of their plans always work, it's almost magical seeing their history.

Mother made a convincing theory that The York family may actually be The Buranda Kingdom's royalty all this time.

I revise against this because Acasti Empire made a bilateral treaty with them very recently. The royalty there was also stated to have used a blood contract before the treaty. Now they couldn't lie shit!

No one even the strongest of mages can break a blood contract. If you break a blood contract, you will be set to die instantly.

Mom's theory could not work. It's just not possible.
