Chapter 195: Oyuoral

I need a mask.

I just can't go killing people like this.

I will need a mask.

I was lost in that thought. Maybe because mask will help me hide my identity? 

That's the reason I went to meet Selena.

I can't always keep the mask with me. And even if I did, it would be too obvious. 

So I got the idea.

What if I use Selena's project to make a mask?

I already have a system, I can control it on my will now.

I have Lily too. She can take care of everything.

Selena's project is working fine. It can change the shape of any matter to another matter with the proper material and the catalyst.

"The material I need is...something durable. Which can change the shape in seconds"

It should be harder than gold.

Using gold is my last resort.

"The type of material that can withstand heavy damage"

That can protect me.

"I can't go around injuring my body"

I have decided to use my system, but I have to use it smartly. 

I need something better than gold. Of course, there are many metals that are better than gold, but...I need something else.

"What I need is the type of material that can be compressed into a tiny object, and can be expanded into a large object when used"

It would be very hard to find material like that.

"I don't even know if it exists or not"

"It does exist"

"Daulla!"

When did she enter?

"Forgive me, but I did knock, and the door was already open but you weren't responding. So, I came in and heard you say that" 

Why didn't Lily inform me when Daulla...I told her not to use my system to access the palace's system.

"Where does this material exist?"

"I don't know"

"But you just said--"

"I just said it does exist. I didn't say anything about where and how"

"How do you know about a material like that?"

She walked to the bookshelf and took out an old book.

"Looks like you don't remember the contents of the books"

"I read them a long time ago, and besides...this all books are just history of us Edens"

She turned some pages and showed me the book.

"This is..."

"Oyuoral"

There was mention of a material...there are many, but Oyuoral was called a cursed ball.

"But, this can be fake"

"You shouldn't call your ancestors fake"

"But what's the proof that this really exists?"

"It is written here, so that means it must have existed" 

"And where is it now?"

"It was Edens' heirloom since the great Alexander reigns. And it was passed down to the descendants"

"But after the wars, our ancestors had to leave their kingdom and escape"

"That's right. That's the reason it was called the cursed ball" Daulla said, sitting on the bed.

"The war continued, and after winning the war, they came here again and lived their life"

"Looks like you remember it now"

"I was a sucker for stories"

"After that, their descendants and their descendants, and here we are. After thousands of years" Daulla said, gesturing me to sit beside her.

"This book is from the third ruler, the third Edens"

"But the heirloom was passed down"

"So where is it?"

"The last time it was seen was 2 Millenniums ago"

"It must have been lost somewhere now"

"You must know how Edens are, right?"

"Yeah"

Stupid.

"They would give their lives to protect their loved ones, even if it is an heirloom"

As I said, stupid.

Who cares about that?

If you are attacked, just fight back and kill them all. And if you can't then take your loved ones and run where they can never find you. 

"So, what exactly are you trying to say?" I asked.

"This palace has been here since the first Edens, no. Even before that"

"Are you trying to say it's in the palace?"

"What is of the palace's stays to the palace"

"What is of Edens' shall never belong to no one"

She patted me and said, "I am happy that you know all this"

"I have spent my entire childhood here in the palace, I know everything"

Every small secret, and every big sin.

I don't remember them, but I know it.

I can just ask Lily to make me remember it.

"I think it's still in the palace" Daulla said, getting up from the bed.

"I know every single corner of the palace"

"Not every single corner" Daulla said, putting the book back in the bookshelf.

"Huh?"

"This palace has been demolished many times over the hundreds of Millennium and has been built again and again"

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Even after the last two Millenniums, it has been built dozens of times"

"So...your point is, the palace is not exactly how it was back then?"

"Exactly"

"Well it makes sense, but there is no real proof. And even if that was the case--"

"I have found some secret floors that lead to the dungeon under the palace" 

"As expected of Daulla"

"Thank you for the praise, but there is no way I am letting you go there"

"Why?!"

"So don't even think about going there"

"At least tell me those secret floors"

"Do you think I am some kind of idiot?"

"I don't"

"Then do you think I will really let you go in some dangerous place"

"Come on. It's not like I will run into some kind of monster" 

Like I did in LWO.

Ah, sweet memories. Back then, I found Lily annoying.

Little did I know, I would fall in love with her.

Dammit!

It was the same with everyone.

Well...not with Serah and Lier. Only Elena and Lily.

"I won't let you go. It's too dangerous. What if it collapses? You will be stuck there forever"

"I won't. I will use my system. And I have a bigger reason to come back"

Elena alone is enough reason to make me not give up on anything.
