A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world
Chapter 369: Prophecy: Beginning
The story begins more than 9,800 years ago.
That was a distant era that it is difficult for the short-lived to return to.
The only and most powerful human kingdom in the entire continent, the Florence Empire, has always stood in the center of the continent for more than 1,500 years.
The demons called it the "City of Steel" and marveled at its indestructible walls.
The elves call it the "City of Flowers" and admire the beauty of its architecture.
Florentines love flowers very much. Every household in the city grows flowers, and they can be seen everywhere. When spring comes, the whole city will be filled with petals of various flowers fluttering in the wind, which is extremely gorgeous.
It is said that this is a custom that has been passed down from top to bottom since the founding of the country.
There have always been different opinions about the origin of this custom.
However, the most widely circulated theory is that Rossi Russo, the founding emperor of the Florence Empire, was inspired by the Virgin of Flowers, which enabled him to rise from a commoner and eventually lead the people to unify the world and establish an empire that would last for thousands of years. The emperor's favorite flower was a flower that did not exist in this world, called "Margaret".
The most grand festival of the Florence Empire every year is therefore called "Margaret's Day" and "Holy Flower Festival".
However, the festival that year was particularly special.
Because on that day, the queen gave birth to a prince, and the emperor named him Mancini Russo to commemorate his ancestor.
At that time, the whole country was doubly happy, and everyone called the child "Holy Son", believing that he would be able to lead the empire to a more glorious tomorrow.
But on the same day, the imperial capital welcomed an uninvited guest.
An astrologer who called himself "Duran" brought his "prophecy".
"The newborn prince will bring destruction to the empire, the blood-red moon will shine over the imperial capital, and he himself will die in a dark dungeon."
Such vicious prophecies were naturally expelled from the royal family and even beaten and scolded by the common people.
They would not allow this madman's groundless predictions to ruin this almost perfect festival.
Duran eventually died inexplicably in a sewer in the imperial capital, but his predictions were engraved in the hearts of the people of the imperial capital and would not fade away for a long time.
......
Eighteen years later, the prince had grown up safely and became a handsome, talented, civil and military crown prince, and the future king loved by the people.
The empire still enjoyed peace and prosperity, and the legend of the prophecy had long been forgotten by everyone.
At Mancini's coming-of-age ceremony, which was also on "Margaret's Day", the emperor personally awarded him an honor and officially declared him the only heir among all the princes.
National Day is also Adult Day, what an honor!
As an adult, one naturally has to consider marriage. But with Mancini's status and talents, how can he choose among those women of marriageable age who are much more mediocre in comparison?
This is a very troublesome thing.
After much deliberation, the emperor finally made a decision that no one expected.
"Let Prince Mancini make his own choice and no one else can interfere."
He believed that the choice made by this son of heaven must represent the will of God and the will of the Virgin of Flowers.
So whether it is nobles or commoners, whether it is humans or elves, everything is decided by the son himself.
Mancini is obviously not in a hurry. After all, he is still young and healthy. Compared with women, he loves to cultivate himself more.
At that time, the Florence Empire was at war with the demons in the northeast all year round, continuing the war between humans and demons that had lasted for tens of thousands of years but no one knew when or why it started.
As the "holy son" in the eyes of the people, Mancini has been determined to become that kind of person in their eyes since he was a child.
In fact, he did live up to everyone's expectations. For several years, he traveled around the border, led troops in battle, and made outstanding achievements. He defeated the demon clan, which was in its heyday at that time.
Even the proud elves are willing to obey his orders.
It can be said that Mancini is a nearly perfect person in the eyes of the world.
The reason I say this is that right now, he is only one step away from perfection, building a perfect family, marrying a perfect wife, and having a perfect child who will inherit all his perfection in the future...
Soon, Mancini's love arrived...
......
It was a war of a scale not seen in a century.
The Florence Empire and the demons had a decisive battle in the Holy Deer Valley. The emperor led the army in person, and Mancini, as one of the commanders, led an army and was responsible for supporting the army.
The battle lasted for several days, both sides suffered heavy losses, and fell into a stalemate for a while.
Mancini volunteered to lead his troops to attack the rear of the demon army.
This is a risky move, not that it is not feasible, but no one has the courage to go deep behind enemy lines, because it most likely means there is no return.
Naturally, the emperor was unwilling to let the prince take risks, and he flatly rejected his request for battle.
But given the situation at the time, the only way to resolve the deadlock was to take the enemy by surprise and attack them when they were unprepared.
For the first time, Mancini disobeyed his father's orders and military orders, and led his elite troops deep behind enemy lines to attack the vital points of the demons.
With extraordinary courage and indescribable perseverance, or perhaps with the blessing of God, this Holy Son actually found the most vulnerable yet most deadly position of the demon clan.
That night, there was chaos in the demon army. The humans took advantage of the situation and launched an attack, defeating the demons.
However, as many people worried, Mancini was discovered by the retreating demon army.
As he fought and retreated, Mancini's elite troops were almost wiped out and he himself was seriously injured. He had no choice but to retreat into the more dangerous northern Kush Mountains.
......
Although the human side won the final victory in this war, they may have lost Prince Mancini and the future king forever.
The emperor sent people to the demon border every day to look for the prince, and the queen cried all day long.
For a time, the whole country was in mourning, flowers and branches were not blooming, and everyone was praying for the return of the Son of God...
One year, a full year later, just as the emperor was about to give up the search, the people had already begun to spontaneously hold mourning ceremonies for the prince and even built a statue for him.
The young man returned to the imperial capital with a beautiful girl, exhausted.
"Even with her face covered in dust, the girl's beauty still conquered men, women, young and old in the entire imperial capital."
Prince Mancini announced that he had found the love of his life.
Luna Sangevinias.
A difficult name to pronounce, a unique face.
From that day on, the people of the Florence Empire welcomed their princess, the future queen.
"Yes, the future queen." Madame Armand said with a hint of sneer on her face.
"Of course, if they really have a future."
