Chapter 147: System Interface has been Restored
*******
"By the decree that bestowed upon by the previous owner, as one of the chosen ones, I, Xylon Sanders, would be at your disposal and would serve you until the end of time….
Your Imperial Highness…. PRINCE ECLIPSE LILAC ZEPHYR."
'W-what in the world is he doing?! Also, what did he just say?!'
Eclipse looks flabbergasted when the world-hopper hears those words coming from Xylon's mouth as he watch how this person who suddenly half-kneeled in front of him after inspecting the [token] he had within his possession.
'I had a hunch that Rheina Clandestine might have belonged to some prestigious household of this Empire because of the [token] and how the others seems to be on guard when they saw this [token] within my hands, but I wouldn't imagine for her to belonged in such royal lineage!'
The world-hopper thought as he frowns but that's not the only thing that caught his attention even more.
"W-wait a f*cking minute! W-what did you just call me?"
Eclipse finally found himself composed for a moment but as of right now, his thoughts were too much chaotic because of this sudden turn of events that he didn't expect to happen.
After that, Xylon immediately stood up as he still maintained a level of distance between them because of this newfound status of the snow-colored young man.
"Your Imperial Highness, Prince Eclipse…"
The world-hopper immediately raised his hand for Xylon to stop at the moment because he is still trying to digest everything that he had heard so far.
'Also, how come that my name had change into Eclipse Sirius to Eclipse Lilac Zephyr… w-wait a minute…. Zephyr… Zephyr, as in my previous second's name but…. for that to become the last name to address me…'
Eclipse looked at Xylon that it almost looked like a glare in Xylon's perspective, but the man couldn't blame the other person because of this sudden development.
"My last name is Sirius, Eclipse Sirius. How come that my name suddenly change into Eclipse Lilac Zephyr…"
The world-hopper paused for a moment as he immediately looked at Xylon and for the first time in his life, Eclipse became anxious and asked carefully; "Z-Zephyr… You're not pertaining to [that] Zephyr household that I know, right?"
Xylon looked at the young man with a sorry gaze as he said; "It's the Zephyr household that you might have known within this Empire, Your Highness."
"Don't address me as 'Your Highness'!"
Xylon shook off his head and said; "I apologize but this one couldn't do that. You have the [token] as an eligible participant for the succession battle that would take place two years from now on."
Eclipse groaned in annoyance because he didn't expect to be involved in much more complicated matter than the others. He thought that Rheina Clandestine might be part of some prestigious noble household with high standings within the noble society but to think that her status is much way higher than he expected!
'The Zephyr household, as in one of the Grand Duke households of this Empire, the relative household of the Cliffton Empire's Royal family?! What the hell?!'
Rheina Clandestine's birth lineage is from the royal family of this Empire?! Why did the Clandestine clan become a household of assassins if they were truly from the higher-tier nobility themselves?
Also, from what the world-hopper remembered when he still have the system interface, there is nothing about Rheina Clandestine's background information, aside from the fact that she came from a clan of assassins and their clan is the one who managed the Underworld Realm in the Stellarus Empire.
Rheina Clandestine in [Mystique Enchantress] is just side character with irrelevant role within the world plot and her role is just a steppingstone for Thesus Yor to take over the clan for the Crown Prince of Stellarus Empire.
'However, since there are a lot of changes that happens, it feels like it opened a hidden route about Rheina Clandestine and her birth origin had been revealed to me after I left the Stellarus Empire.'
Eclipse thought as he sighed in frustration because he didn't expect to be caught on into something big and now that it seems like he would be involved within the political plots that would be brewing within this Empire.
Before he could ask any more questions, a sudden sharp pain that he felt as he immediately clutches to his head as he tried to ease the pain he is feeling right now.
Xylon, on the other hand, noticed the sudden discomfort coming from his new master as he immediately made a response and went over to his side as he saw how his master clutches his head as if there is something wrong and he noticed how pale he is right now.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?!"
Xylon couldn't think of any reason for his master to become like this and moments ago, he was just alright and there is nothing wrong with him but all of the sudden, this happens.
'This won't do! I need to get him out of here first and then provide necessary treatment for him.'
Xylon thought as he gritted his teeth in annoyance because he didn't know what had caused his new master to be in such condition all of the sudden.
"ARGH! I-it… h-hurts….!"
Xylon took a hold of him but tried not to shake him off that much; "Your Highness! Your Highness!"
And after that, Eclipse's body slumped over that makes Xylon managed to catch on him before he could even stumble on the ground.
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
Eclipse lost consciousness and no matter how Xylon tried to wake him up, it won't budge and that makes him even more frustrated because Eclipse's complexion in Xylon's eyes became even more paler like a sheet of paper.
"KARIS! KARUS!"
With that, two mysterious silhouettes suddenly appeared from the shadows when the command call forth and both of them answered to their young master's summon.
"Second young master, is there—"
The one who speak first namely Karis, the eldest twin amongst the two but his sentence were cut off when Xylon hurriedly said; "Enough with the formalities! We need to take His Highness out of here!"
The younger twin, Karus, immediately looked at the unconscious person within the second young master's embrace and frowned for a moment and said; "His Highness…. Is he…."
Xylon could only nod for now and said; "I'll explain later but first, we need to treat him first as I don't know what happened for him to suddenly lost consciousness."
Because Eclipse fainted, the barrier that protects and locked them inside this room had finally lifted away and Xylon could now summon some of his people inside this room, but he only called forth the twins since both of them are much more efficient and calling the others would just attract unwanted attention to them.
Xylon immediately lift up the unconscious snow-colored young man in a bridal style and the three of them immediately left the room, trying to be discreet as much as possible and evade most of the staffs within this establishment.
Minutes had passed, they had already gone outside of the establishment and immediately ordered some of his people to get some carriage for them to leave and after everything had settled, they had left that place.
Unbeknownst to them, at the top building of the establishment, a mysterious man's silhouette can be seen within the four corners of his office as he watch everything that happens.
From the moment Eclipse entered the establishment with the [token] he presented within his hands, from the bidding process for the first and second item, from the moment his companion had left him in that room and his private conversation with the second young master of Sanders household.
However, what astonished him the most is that… he didn't expect for him to see how the rumored young genius Xylon Sanders half-kneeled in front of this snow-colored youth whose identity is known as Eclipse Sirius, an S-Rank adventurer with a noble title as the Lord, even though he is just considered as a semi-noble according to the Imperial Laws of this Empire.
'Not only that, but that young man's [token]…. Based on my observation, it seems that he held some sort of high authority because of the [token] within his possession.'
With that thought, he smirks as he thought and had finally come to a decision.

'Finally, after three years! Now, all I need to do is to reconnect with the Main House System and ask for some questions about this whole predicament that I seemed to have fallen into!'
After some time had passed, an unfamiliar voice came through his mind and spoke.
