Chapter 1033 Strongest United

The Silverfangs’ fate was more difficult than the Forest Elves. They didn’t have a home left outside the Origin Expanse and had to make the best out of their situation in the Untamed Jungle.

The Untamed Jungle wasn’t perfect for them, yet they made it work. The camps were still split between the Princess and the Crown Prince, especially after all Silverfangs had been rescued from Exil in the Will’s void, but that didn’t mean there was no peace between them. Michael had to intervene once and tell them that they had to get their act together, forcing the siblings to do weekly meetings to talk about whatever they wanted to talk about.

Michael didn’t force them to talk about specific topics but he made sure they would meet up once a week for at least three hours to talk. In the first week they sat there in silence, but Michael didn’t care. Instead, he instigates some Silverfangs to talk to the other parties, get to know them better, and maybe even befriend them.

They didn’t escape their enemies outside the Origin Expanse, only to fall apart after everyone made it to the Origin Expanse. Michael wouldn’t allow that.

He worked hard to reunite the separated parties while ignoring the Crown Prince and Princess. They could do whatever they wanted to during their allocated meeting as long as they didn’t kill each other. In the second meeting, the Crown Prince and the Princess fought. Michael didn’t expect that to happen, but he didn’t intervene. He allowed the siblings to fight, both physically and verbally, and only told Hiraku to step in when their injuries were too severe to continue fighting.

The Silverfang parties got to know each other again from scratch and learned about the other party’s leader. At first, the Silverfangs were adamant about staying with their party, but they soon decided it was time for the Crown Prince and Princess to get their act together as well. They survived and wished to reunite as one unit.

Their settlement in the Untamed Jungle had already been constructed, but there was a massive fissure between the parties’ camps. One day, when the Crown Prince and the Princess were busy thrashing each other during their weekly meeting, Michael and his people relocated the camps to unite them into a proper settlement.

It hadn’t been easy to relocate the camps but Hiraku, some Super Awakened, and Earth Elementals made it happen. Tiara and Caesus were beaten black and blue, but that didn’t stop them from exclaiming in surprise and anger. They demanded to find out who was responsible for this disaster, only for everyone to point at themselves.

Tiara and Caesus knew Michael did something, but they couldn’t say something against their Lord. Actually, they could, but they realized quickly enough how futile their attempts at becoming the rightful leader of the Silverfangs were. Michael would never choose either of them if they gave him the chance…and they knew why.

“What are we supposed to do?” Tiara grumbled, circulating mana through her body to accelerate her natural regeneration.

“I don’t know. You know Michael longer than anyone else here. Except for Daniel, of course, but I doubt you want to ask Daniel for help. He would beat the living shit out of both of us because we are still fighting,” Caesus sighed deeply.

“That is because you still demand to become the Silverfangs’ King. You are not good enough to be their king!” Tiara hissed, which earned the Silverfang Princess a deadly glare, “But you are fit to become the Silverfang Queen? Who says that other than yourself, of course?!”

“Everyone says that!” Tiara growled, razor-sharp claws growing from her fingers, You delusional dickhead! Go to your disgusting children and stay out of my business!”

“Everyone says that? I think you are the delusional one. You know better than anyone that our own people don’t want us as their king and queen anymore. So why are you spouting nonsense?!” “Who’s fault is it that they hate us? Yours! You are at fault for father’s death! If father was still alive, none of this would have happened!!” Tiara roared, ready to jump at Caesus. However, Michael was present and used Greater Psychokinesis to catch the little kitten mid-air. He hurled her backward and accidentally smashed her against a tree. Well…maybe it wasn’t an accident. He was a bit tired of their nonsense and would love to use Needle of the Lost Memories to take away some of their memories. That would solve many issues. Unfortunately, the Needle of the Lost Memories was in a morally gray area. Using it on himself or to solve all issues of Blood Incursion was fine, but doing so on the Silverfang heirs wasn’t okay.

“Can you please solve your problems before the Silverfangs abandon the two of you? Or before they ask me to throw you into the lairs of the Supreme Human Alliance to get rid of both of you. Because two or three Silverfangs already asked for that. They’re tired of you guys and wouldn’t follow either of you even if you held a dagger against their throats. That tells me a lot more than I wanted to know…and I can sense their emotions through the Links of Loyalty, either way.”

Michael cleared his throat.

“Either you solve your issues during the next meeting, or I will take your Soultraits away and throw you out of the Untamed Jungle,” Michael glared at Caesus before turning to Tiara, “That includes you!”

Tiara’s eyes widened but she didn’t dare utter a single sound when she saw the anger in Michael’s eyes.

“I didn’t kill Father,” Caesus grumbled quietly, “I would have given my life for him…”

Tiara glanced at Caesus in silence. The hatred in her eyes was still present, but there was something else as well. It was almost like Taira listened to Caesus for the first time in forever. Before, she had only seen the murderer of her father rather than the son of the man he had loved the most. She didn’t even try understanding Caesus or the fact that he lost someone very important to him too.

Tiara suffered a lot, especially when she was pulled out of the Will’s void alone. She tried her utmost to rescue everyone, only to free the murderer of her father as well. Tiara couldn’t accept that and would have loved to kill Caesus the moment he stepped out of the Summoning Portal.

Unfortunately, Caesus was needed. He was also trusted by many Silverfangs, which would instill resentment if she killed her brother for the throne, even if she deserved it much more than Caesus.

Caesus, on the other hand, was never given the chance to explain himself. He didn’t consider himself as their father’s murderer, but he loathed himself for having been too weak to rescue their father.

Often enough, Caesus found himself awake at night, thinking he should have died in their father’s stead.

But was that really what their father wanted?

Tiara growled quietly, but it looked like she thought about her actions in the last few years and how much their fights had destroyed. Their father might not be alive anymore, but he would be disappointed at how they had turned out. Caesus and Tiara might be powerful, and their people were still alive, but they were always at each other’s throat.

The Silverfangs weren’t united anymore. Yet that was exactly what their father would have wanted. After all, the Silverfangs were the strongest when united.

Maybe it was time to close the gaps again.
