Grand Lust Sovereign-Chapter 133: The Elves, Orcs, and Dwarves

Jackie was ready to behead Vivvye. She was just waiting for Julien's command.

Vivvye felt defeated. He had done quite a lot for his kingdom but knew his position there wasn't high. His death would be insignificant and nobody would even come to his grave to pay their respects.

Vivvye did not want to die here.

He could feel Jackie's thick bloodlust and knew this person was a killer. He would not hesitate to kill him, and the only reason Vivvye was still alive was because Julien hadn't given the command yet.

Julien waited on purpose.

Moments before death, a person would have their entire life flash before their eyes.

Maybe in those memories, Vivvye had something he cherished.

Maybe he wouldn't want to lose all those and maybe he would want to live a little longer.

Julien was right on the money.

Vivvye did not want to die. At the end of the day, he was a normal living being, and every organism had an instinct to survive.

Add to that, Vivvye's brain made deductions that Julien was someone strange and mysterious.

He had been in this continent for longer than his home, served the kingdom with all his heart, but what had the kingdom given him?

Vivvye stood still and thought about it.

The reason he was sent here was so his family could live well. He had signed a contract with the authorities promising the benefits, and the frequent letters from home were the only thing keeping him going.

However, what would happen if he died?

Will his family still be well off?

Now this was something he hadn't given much thought to as his life between the humans was peaceful.

There was no struggle for food, clothing, and shelter. Life in the Theocracy was surprisingly peaceful.

Needless to say, Vivvye felt shivers at the thought of everything going downhill due to his one wrong move.

He turned to Julien and stared at him.

Julien glanced back at the guy.

"Can you let me go?" Vivvye said nonchalantly, aware that it was a stupid question to ask.

"Do you want me to?" Julien went along with his conversation.

"Yeah, that would be amazing." Vivvye nodded.

"Okay. You're free to go." Julien cut off all the ropes strapping him to the chair.

"What?" The elf boy was stupefied.

"Yeah. Go. You're free." Julien was serious about it.

Vivvye blinked and stopped for a second to process what was happening.

Just like that? It was this easy to leave? All he had to do was ask?

Surely there was something more to it than what the ears could hear and the eyes could see!

"You won't kill me?" Vivvye asked.

"I won't." Julien said without hesitation.

Vivvye was starting to have relief flush over him, but right then Julien continued, "But you will die."

"Huh?"

"Yes. Go out, you're free. But you'll always be on a hunt. Every second you're living, a constant dread of your life coming to an end will loom over you. I will ensure it does, and strike you when you're least expecting it."

"…"

"I wouldn't give you a painless death like I planned to now. I want you to suffer. I want you to regret the decision of hiding what you were hiding right now for all your life, and then get killed with the same regret."

Vivvye's body trembled as he imagined his possible future.

He was right. The person is not someone ordinary.

Even his ways of threatening were profound.

For a while Vivvye was ready to die as a noble spy but now that even death wasn't welcoming, he has a change of heart.

"I'll talk." Vivvye said to Julien. "In return, can you not do any of this?"

"It depends on the information you provide."

"Let's make a vow then. I'll say everything there is in complete truth while you'll ensure that I am not killed."

Julien shook his head. He was able to see through this boy's statement immediately.

He said he'll state the truth but nothing about hiding most of the important information. He also mentioned that Julien had to ensure he wasn't killed. This meant he had to protect him from other people as well.

The boy was more cunning than he initially thought him to be.

"We will make a vow, but you will tell me the complete truth and I can only assure you that me or my companions won't kill you." Julien replied.

The boy didn't despair. He nodded and quickly agreed to the terms, lest they got worse.

His cover was already blown and he knew the people in the room were just about as smart as him.

"I'll help with the vow." Amelia chimed in and said.

In the presence of this priestess, the two made a vow.

When it was done, the boy began talking.

His name was Vivvye Kalrex. He was a citizen of the Kelrios Kingdom and sent here on a mission to spy on the humans.

Unlike the Kalindor Continent, Varethis was a land of absolute bloodshed.

Situated in the north, half the lands suffered through harsh winters and extreme cold year-round.

Food and resources were scarce, and the majority of the population lived in the extreme south of Varethis where the climate wasn't as harsh.

As everyone banded together in one place, competition was naturally very high. It was a cutthroat and cruel world to be in, and everyday, a person had to struggle for a single meal.

The Orcs, Elves, and Dwarves lived on that continent. They were in a tight power struggle and kept each other in check.

The elves had sent spies to Kalindor in hopes of obtaining newer lands. If it wasn't possible, they hoped to get external aid so as to wipe out the Orcs and the Dwarves from the face of the planet.

Julien was quite shocked when he heard these.

The elves were doing what!? He couldn't believe what he had just heard.

Julien thought that just like normal fantasy, this world would have peaceful elves who roamed the wilderness and stayed away from worldly affairs.

'I'm afraid that isn't the case now.'

From Vivvye's description, they did not seem friendly at all.

Talking to him further made Julien understand more about the political situation in Varethis.

The dwarves had a vast underground network all over Varethis. This might make them overpowered as one would think, but such wasn't the case.

Their terrain advantage was the one causing them most of the problems.

Underground, they did not get sunlight which resulted in little to no farming.

They survived in crops that grew underground like potatoes and as such with meat from creatures like rabbits, moles, and so on being staple sources of protein.

For them, meat from grass fed animals living on the ground was a luxury. They could not just come out and hunt them as there was a high risk of getting assassinated by the orcs or the elves.

They were technologically advanced, but machinery was limited and could not be everywhere.

They were in the midst of creating an intensive underground network through which their machines could reach one end of the continent to another within minutes.

Whether that had turned into a reality or not was unknown as Vivvye was out of touch from most things in that place due to his residence in Kalindor for more than a decade.

His knowledge was outdated and things could be far worse than before.

The only way to find that out was by going to Varethis.

Julien did not want to take such a risk at such a point in time as he did not have enough strength to protect himself.

There was another thing holding him back. It was the question about the elves, orcs, and dwarves not appearing in the Tower.

Where were they? Why weren't they within the Tower?

The Tower's portals were everywhere in the world.

Assuming they weren't in Varethis, couldn't the people of Varethis simply see the gigantic silhouette of the Tower in the middle of the skies?

There were many mysteries yet to be resolved.

Letting Vivvye live was certainly a good idea as he got to know his world a bit better.

If the elves were cruel, how would the savages of Ul'Theron be?

When asked about that place, Vivvye simply said that nobody knew about it.

The ones who had ventured there had never been seen again.

From the strongest warriors to the strongest legions, nobody made it out.

The elves stopped wasting their precious manpower in such a dangerous place and instead focused on Kalindor.

Julien made a mental note of this. He was to avoid Ul'Theron until he was absolutely sure he was the strongest in his world.

Julien talked with Vivvye some more and got as much information as he could out of him.

There was a lot more he got to know, and in the information was news about more spies nearby.

Julien left with Jackie to capture them and see whether Vivvye's information matched with theirs or not.
