The unknown individual in the room stared him dead in the eyes and asked with his eyes glowing red with a hint of darkness.
"What did you say your familiar refers to itself as again?
"He called himself a dragon, and his laugh and presence were similar to the pressure I felt when I stepped into this room". I don't even know why I told him all that, and from the looks of it, the elders and the royal knights, including the unknown individual, had a look of disbelief, and the elders mostly had shocked expressions, including my father. Up
"Is there anything else? He asked, looking at me again.
"Yes, the creature was bound in chains covered in ancient runes.
I replied, and I could sense a hint of relief from their expression, but the one who stood above everyone had a less concerned look. only
"Yeah, you may leave." He ordered, and the moment I stood up and walked three steps, my knees gave out, causing me to stumble.
The mysterious individual said, "Take him home," and the next thing was a knight came in and held me by the shoulder, and the next moment, I was in front of my brother, who had been waiting outside patiently.
"How did it go?" my brother asked.
"It was terrifying, being in their presence, all together," I answered, still shaking I exchanging a few words with my elder brother.
Before going ahead to my room to rest.
The moment I got in, I suddenly saw the system notification appear before me.

"Seeing this left me speechless, what inside ability is this??? I thought with a surprised expression
BACK WITH THE THIRTEEN PILLARS
"I think you all know what great blessing and calamity just befallen the empire." The being sitting above stated with his hands placed on his chin, staring directly at the 2nd elder, and continued.
"They're only two options here, 1st kill him," he stated, and suddenly an intense, murderous Aura was released akin to a mad beast who had lost his reason.
The other pillars repelled the aura with theirs, but the same couldn't be said for the two knights outside the door, as they were finding it hard to remain standing.
But the pillars weren't worried cause they were someone with the strength to suppress the second pillar, and the next moment a dark red aura started coming down from above, where the being was sitting, devouring every aura it comes in contact with including the one the rest of the pillars put up as a counter against the second pillars aura before it also devoures the 2 pillars aura leaving no room for retaliation.
Draco POV
"You dare talk about killing my son in my presence?? I asked with anger.
Knowing fully well that he just consumed my aura, and fighting against the thirteen pillars is not a favourable term for me, and I would never be able to defeat him, not after his breakthrough 100 years ago.
After all, not many apart from the thirteen pillars and the headmaster know that the emperor has already gone missing during the Armageddon 300 years ago, leaving the person standing before us his only son who inherited every piece of character from his father, his personality, face, and the way he presents himself.
"You haven't heard my second option, Draco, as always, you are indeed quick to anger, no fun at all." He said with a bored expression.
"The 2 option is if he can be among the 10 Continental's rising stars, then he would be qualified to carry the quest of being the forbidden families partner cause it's only a matter of time before they find out and start coming after him," he said and stares at me before saying the last part.
"Hope you understand what I mean, Draco, cause once they are on the move, not even you can protect him from them.
