It was indeed the beginning of a new era in Delwias Island, for the first time people from all districts had to be in one place, not because of studying in the institution, and not because of the annual evaluation to level up, but because of the survival instinct they had.
Yogev's eyes were much crazier than they ever were, he was completely a different character when it comes to ruling people, he was never like that .
Despite his age, he managed to rule his people and lead most of them into safety, he only lost when he chose to be peaceful.
Yogev smiled sarcastically then said:" I am not giving you choices, It is me who is going to rule the place, ah , and one more thing if you think more about it, you will know that since the beginning you had no hope to level up, so what you benefit from the seventh king rule? The first struggle and he took what he needed and you have been left here to face a brutal death "
" At least we were under their protection !"
" I will protect you if you consider the union, otherwise I will not be easy on you "
Lexie kept struggling to free her body from the mage's spell but she couldn't, she was exhausted and tired and in her worst emotional state.
" I am not going to accept the union, kill me now !" She said while daring him to do that .
At that moment, Heigl showed up in the middle of the scene. Yogev was stunned by seeing him there. He thought that he ran away after he was released, and that made him very surprised.
" He is not going to kill anyone, " Heigl said while looking into Lexie's eyes.
Yogev didn't know what to say, Heigl approached him while he was still moving slowly because of his injury and then said while looking this time to everyone:" Maybe we should stop this here, we all had our losses in the middle of chaos, we have to stop blood-shedding because we belong to the same region, isn't this why the blue sage did his sacrifice to build the leveling up system, he only did this because of the war between the seventh regions in the past centuries"
"He killed half of district 1 " A woman said .
" I am not justifying what he has done, but I asking you to think more about it, if you chose war then by the next triple full moons we will be all dead"
" I can't let him live, "Lexie said while tears fell from her eyes.
" I understand, but please think more about yourself, I don't want you to be hurt "
" Are you threatening me, weak boy ?" Lexie wiped her tears immediately .
" I am not "
" Why are we listening to this kid again! " A person from district 4 said.
Yogev walked right away to be in front of Heigl and then said:" What did you say again? "
Yogev was willing to hit the man but Heigl stopped him from doing that and then said:" Let's not start something here "
" He is trying to be smart "
" I really don't care, so just leave it like that "
Heigl sat for a moment on the ground which surprised most of them, Yogev leaned toward him to check the state of the injury, it was not bad but he was healing very slowly from it .
" Listen I have an idea, promise me that you will help me realize it "Heigl whispered in his ear .
" What are you talking about? Do you think that you are in a state to stand like this and fight with these mad crowds? "Yogev argued.
"This idea will save you a lot of trouble, help me go to another place so that I could explain to you, it has to be coming from you, it will ease their doubts and they might consider you as a leader.
" Stop whispering, we want to hear what you are saying " someone yelled.
Yogev put Heigl's arm around his shoulder and helped him to stand then he walked him away from all that crowd .
" I made a lot of mistakes and I guess I can't even make them trust me, " Yogev said as he was walking him away to the back of the palace .
" I want to tell you I told you so , but you will never listen "
" I thought you left for good "
" I was going to do that, but you messed up again and that made me feel very anxious, you are very pathetic with decisions, you always tend to make the worst decision ever existed "
" I think I am done with the scolding, people are doing that to me for a while now "
Heigl didn't look at him but he was focusing on the ground in front of him because he was too afraid to fall .
" Hey, don't worry, I got you, " Yogev said when he noticed his hesitation whenever he stepped .
" I don't want to open it again "
" I see"
" Because you won't heal me if that happens, you will just tell me that you cheated in that part "
Yogev laughed when he heard what he said to him, he was using sarcasm even at times like this .
When they arrived at the back of the palace, Yogev helped him sit on the ground and then said:" What did you want to say ? "
" They need to know that they are safe, just like when the seventh king was here, he wasn't protecting them but he gave them the elusion of it, so did Chris and Rivok and also Felix, they all did the same thing to a very scared crowd and you have to do the same "
" I don't want to fill them with lies"Yogev argued .
" You are not going to "
"Huh , I am not a higher ranked mage, did you forget that part"
" No, but you have something much more powerful than anything in this place "
" What ? " Yogev said with a surprised face.
" You have this place, you can use it as your shelter in the triple full moons and give them help, you can control this place, and I will make sure to help you with this"
