Chapter 26: Anatolia 7

"Who dares to act so unscrupulous in my Household?" Roared the family head of Tokugawa, Tokugawa Daichi.

Tokugawa Daichi was a tall man, seemingly in his early 60ies or late 50ies even though his real age was way past 100. He had black hair and fiery orange eyes that were the signature of the family.

Daichi had a tall well-built body, strong features especially jawline and very cold eyes that glowed with unhidden ruthlessness. 

In the whole, this old family head could be said to be a very handsome and well-preserved grandpa.

He had three children, first Sara, second Fuji and the last one and his favorite Akihito. Except the youngest, the other two older siblings were already married and had children.

Sara had an older son Hiro and a daughter Lale.

Lucius had two boys, Ichiro and Shoji.

From the outside this family was perfect but in reality, Tokugawa's were full of greed and scheming. They didn't even spare their own family example of this was Akihito's fianc Lara who died 4 years ago.

The family stayed very tight lipped about this matter, but Morana and Samael managed to dig out a few secrets.

Lara was a beast that Akihito fell in love with 7 years ago and 3 years later just before their marriage she died.

Lara was a spy that the beast clan sent in order to get back their treasure and after Tokugawa's found out about this, they mercilessly killed her leaving Akihito broken-hearted to drown himself in drunken sorrow.

It was a well-known fact in Anatolia that Tokugawa's second young master became a cray drunkard after his fianc's tragic death.

But Lara was not the only victim. 

127 years ago, Tokugawa Daichi seduced his second wife Natasha, who was a member of the beast clan and not just any member but a royal princess and mother of Akihito.

After gaining Natasha's trust Daichi stole the beast clan's treasure and in the process murdered hundreds of its members.

Natasha found out everything when it was already too late, then she had already given birth to Akihito and in her attempt to escape with her son Daichi killed her.

1 day earlier

In the restaurant's private room set Morana, Samael and another man.

The man had sharp and handsome features, pitch-black hair and neon-orange eyes that were a bit unfocused from his drunkenness.

This man was Tokugawa Akihito, the youngest son of Tokugawa Daichi.

As he told the bitter past, he could not help but drink more alcohol to drown his sorrows.

"What is it?" Asked Morana.

"Hmm?"

"What kind of treasure could it be that so many people are blinded by it?" She explained after seeing Akihito's confused gaze.

"It's called The Amira's Flute or The Tamer's Flute. As you know one can't become tamer just because they want to or can, even if you learn to tame.

Tamer's need the beast god's blessing in order to be counted as one and not many receive it because beasts themselves control who receives it and who does not. 

Because of this the profession is now almost extinct, but if one has The Tamer's Flute things are very different. They don't need any blessing or acknowledgement, they don't even need to learn any taming. As the flute allows them control over any beast that's below their general cultivation.

Many years ago, Amira, human king, made this flute and controlled the whole beast army to aid him in conquering the whole Azurel continent in order to make one country Samaria. The name comes from his beloved wife Samara."

After finally hearing the whole story Morana could not help but sight from how complicated it all was.

Somehow, she could not get rid of the feeling that there was something more, after all the system didn't say that the mission was completed, so there must be more.

"Is there anything else?" She asked.

"Hmm. The beast Tides they don't happen just because the beasts want to get their treasure back, my father controls them to create the beast tides." These words truly surprised Morana, she really didn't expect that Daichi was in control of the beast riots.

"What do you mean?" This whole time Samael didn't say anything, but the news surprised even him so he could not help but ask.

"The beast riots are planned, my father has set up a special array so he controls the beast using the flute, at that time anyone that beasts kill well their life force and power is absorbed by my father using the array and the flute giving him more power while also acting like the city's protector killing two birds with one stone." And just as Akihito finished his words Morana heard the familiar sound.

[Master, congrats you completed the mission.]

[MISSION: Find out secrets of Anatolia. 

Reward: ???

Complete]

[NEXT MISSION TRIGGERED]

[MISSION: Help the beast clan get their treasure back and destroy Tokugawa Daichi's array.

Morana decided to look at her secret reward later now she was busy processing all the news.

"Thanks for the information." She said as she got up and was about to leave the private room as she heard Akihito's last words.

"Pleasure is all mine." And then he continued, drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

Back to present

After hearing Daichi's roar and having a flashback, Morana could not help but smile as she looked at the Tokugawa family.

"Ahh, that would be me Mister Tokugawa Daichi is it?"
