The Only Aura User In Magic World

"Then, I want to ask you one important question first. Are you with the cult or not?"

Albert directly asked Prince Fabio something that will decide if he can be trusted or not.

"Obviously no. I knew that the cult was bad before my father disappear. And I only noticed that the disappearance of my father was related to the cult few months after he was substituted." Prince Fabio said.

"I see. You can be trusted. Now, what do you want to ask?" Albert asked.

"There are many things I want to ask, but I\'ll make it simple. How can I trust you lot?" Prince Fabio asked..

"I let that guy answer that question." Albert said as he pointed his index finger toward me.

"Why me? If you answered him, it will be more believable."

"You\'re the proof." Albert said.

I\'m the proof? Hmm… oh, I see. He wants me to tell Prince Fabio about his own lie detection skill. That\'s why I\'m the proof since his ability was inherited from his ancestor who was an Aura user. And that\'s probably the case as well since not just the prince Fabio, but his sister Luna can see the future. And I\'m the one who\'s supposed to tell him that.

"Alright. Prince Fabio, it was quite surprising both you and your sister can see the future. I know why. That\'s the same reason as to how Albert have the ability to detect lies." I said simply.

"He can detect lies?!"

"That\'s right. That\'s why he asked if you are with the cult or not. Since he didn\'t detect any lie when you replied, you can be trusted. It\'s that simple." I said.

"Does that mean each royalty from each kingdom has ability?" Prince Fabio asked.

"Not that I know of. At least Lynn and old man Henry don\'t have it. The reason you have ability is because you inherited it from your ancestor who was an Aura user. That\'s the most likely answer since only Aura users or their descendants have abilities other than magic. And I am probably the only Aura user left in the world."

Then, I started explaining to Prince Fabio about what Aura user is. As for Luna whom he brought here with, Daniel is chatting with her and asked her to play with him.

…what about me? Doesn\'t he miss me at all? I feel sad thinking that he doesn\'t think much of me anymore. As expected, taking too much mission away from home is terrible for my relationship with Daniel. As for the others, they are fine since I can ask them for help. But Daniel is too young to bring over. Does he hate me now?

I finished explaining about Aura to Prince Fabio, but he still doesn\'t get why he can trust us.

"I get how you can trust me. It\'s all thanks to King Albert\'s ability. But how do I trust you? I lost my father without knowing how and why."

"Because our goal is to destroy the cult. I came from the future, and in the future, the world is destroyed by the cult. This time, we won\'t let that happen."

This time, I told him about the future. He might be able to see one second to the future, but I\'m someone from the future. The real future and not one that he sees every day.

With the help of the kings to convince him, he finally believed us and explains what happened.

…well, Prince Fabio didn\'t believe it for a while, so I asked Albert, old man, and Lynn to convince him. We also told him many things so he can trust us. I think it\'s faster if we just blackmail him, but we wanted him to join us without being threatened. But finally, he believed us.

Then, he started telling us what he knows about the kingdom.

"Luna has told me long time ago that she can see the future just like me. She also said that the only other person who knows about her secret is our father. Father also know that I can see the future although it\'s a weaker version that Luna\'s. We never really noticed it when he got substituted, but one day, when we were all having family dinner together, which is quite rare, Luna suddenly turned stiff even though the dishes were her favorites. She looked at our father fearfully, and then looked at the whole family. Lastly, she looked at me with tears in her eyes. I thought that she must have seen a terrible future, but a minute has passed a long time since then. Luna\'s power let her sees the future one minute ahead. That\'s why I noticed she\'s thinking of something suspicious. After dinner, I brought her back to her room so we can have a chat in private. When no one\'s around, I asked her what\'s wrong. And she said that the person we\'re eating with is not our father. In her future vision, she can see that person who disguised himself as our father was shocked after he heard of what Luna was about to say."

"…and what was she about to say?" Albert asked.

"She wanted to ask about what happened with her previous vision. Father said that her vision helped him a lot and that\'s also the reason why all the dishes that night were her favorites."

According to Prince Fabio, Luna saw the king with a scary expression and with the intent to kill. In that one minute, Luna saw every single members of her family were killed by the fake king after some strangers entered. Just because the fake king doesn\'t know that Luna has future vision and answered wrongly. That\'s why Luna was scared stiff.

Then, Prince Fabio also asked for a private time with the king. In which he realized that the fake king doesn\'t know about Prince Fabio\'s and Luna\'s future vision. So, he thought of a plan.

He asked one of his brothers from different mother, to help him arrange something. The king has many wives and this brother of him is someone he can trust the most.

He asked to arrange for his own and Luna\'s death. This brother is someone he can trust, so Prince Fabio doesn\'t mind telling him the truth. After hearing his plan, Prince Fabio\'s brother agreed to do it, while risking his own life to stay in the castle and spies on the fake king.

Though Prince Fabio and his brother never really had a chance to meet again after that. But that mean I have someone to contact in the castle. I just need to be careful of anyone who can detect my presence.

"So, both you and Luna pretend to be dead? Then you decided to join the guards? Am I right?" Old man asked.

"That\'s right. And this fake king… he didn\'t do anything that change the capital or the kingdom at all. in fact, he rules and acts as if he\'s our real father. The biggest difference is that there are more people entering the capital. I know that because that\'s my job. Each time someone new entered the capital, I would test them with my future vision. I would see what they will do in the next one second. That\'s also how I know that there are several people who entered the capital who can kill me in an instant. As I\'m proud of my strength as an advanced level mage, those people are more powerful than me. That\'s why I thought they must be at least expert level mage." Prince Fabio explained.

"…as expected, Entering the castle will be difficult. But if I can find your brother, things will be easier. Then, what about the fake king\'s reaction after you and Luna died?" I asked.

"…what we expected of father if he\'s the one who heard the news. He asked the other children to compete for the throne. After that, I heard that our siblings got split up. As for the one I asked for the favor of helping us escape, he\'s still in the castle as he has no interest in the throne." Prince Fabio said.

"…if he reacts the same way as your father did, then…"

"Probably my father is still alive. He\'s imprisoned somewhere in the castle. Since he never told the fake king that Luna and I can see the future, he must have known that my death is a fake. And that battle for the throne was something that he came up with."

"At least we have good news. Then my plan is to sneak into the castle, meet your brother, and find the location of your father. Do you have anyone else in the family that you can trust?" I asked.

"Why ask?"

"If you have someone you can trust, you can tell them the truth. And that person might be able to help you. Since the fake king told his children to fight for the throne, I don\'t think all of them are in the capital. Isn\'t that right? If you tell them that the king is an impersonator, they will stop fighting." I said.

"You\'re right. I also think that if I could ask them to protect Luna, I can do more things alone while in the capital. But I don\'t know who to trust. But there\'s someone who I believe his personality will never change. Unless he got substituted like my father. He loves fighting more than being a king. If it\'s him, you can probably bait him with a good fight." Prince Fabio said.

"Then we will ask for his help just in case. Now, do we need to make you dead again this time?" I asked.

"No need."

"Don\'t tell me that you want to return as a guard and stay in the capital?"

"No. Let\'s turn me into a criminal who escaped from the capital. That will create some trouble that will make you able to infiltrate the castle easier." Prince Fabio said.

Hearing that, I smiled. So, I just need to cause some trouble and have him blamed for it.

"That\'s what I do best."
