Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Michael and Hans are still jokingly comforting Leo while I'm watching the TV, but then the Online Game News (OGN) appears on the TV. I look at the topic and it says that they're going to have a live interview with Kingstar A.K.A Schneider in 5 minutes, I look at Michael and the others and pointing at the TV, they're looking at the TV and raises their eyebrows.

Michael is leaning on the sofa.

"A live interview? We don't know about that."

I stand up and walk toward the door.

"I will call the others."

The three of them are humming with understanding.

I walk toward Ivonna's room and I can hear the ladies are still interrogating her, but they can do that again later because right now there might be something interesting with the interview. I knock on the door and the ladies immediately go quiet, and I can hear them whispering to each other when someone is opening the door.

Emma is startled when she sees me standing in front of the door, but she's unconsciously smiling and grinning at me.

"What's up, Trev?"

I'm looking at her and pointing my thumb at my room.

"Kingstar is going to have a live interview with the OGN. I think you guys might want to see it."

Ivonna jolts from the bed and she immediately walks towards us.

"Kingstar is going to have an interview with the OGN?"

I look at her and nod. Ivonna turns her head and looks at Francesca and the others.

"Let's go, I think they're going to be asking about what happened in the game yesterday."

Francesca and Chelsea are booing at both of us but they stand up and walk toward the door. Emma opens the door widely so everyone can leave the room, and when they're leaving the room, they're trying so hard to not look at me except for Grisell, she giggles and can't hold her laughter. I look at her while raising my eyebrows, but Grisell is running away from me and hurriedly walk into my room.

I'm walking next to Ivonna and she looks at me while sighing.

"Thank you..."

I shake my head.

"No need to mention it because I know you're in trouble."

Ivonna laughs softly and nods.

We are sitting on the couch while watching the TV and waiting for the interview, then the program is back after the commercial breaks. A woman is sitting on the chair and Kingstar with Queenstar is sitting in front of her, when I see the background, I can tell that this is inside the Supremacists Clan HQ in Germany because of the huge banner behind them.

The woman is looking at the camera.

"We are now live with Kingstar and Queenstar, and right now we are actually not in our studio, but we are in the Supremacist Clan temporary headquarter."

The woman then looks at them both.

"Mister Kingstar and Miss Queenstar thank you for the opportunity to interview you on your busy schedule, but we are all dying to know about what happened to the game yesterday. We also heard that you made an announcement in the game that went viral even the game developers congratulate you for finding out the secret."

Kingstar just nods with understanding. The woman is looking at the piece of paper in her hands.

"You said that the whole incident that happened in the game was all because of the NPC called K.W. that is the descendant of Baltizar Wezeis. We don't have any information related to who they are, but you said it here that Baltizar Wezeis' lore is a legendary hero that destroyed the Orion Empire back. Is that the truth?"

Kingstar nods in agreement.

"Yes, it's the truth because our friends Seven Diamond and Lothair Ermes found out so many documents inside the basement under the Palace of the Eluna Empire. He shared all of the documents with me and other friends of ours like Ivonna Ivon and the top clans from the other factions. Ivonna mentioned that there's a document called the dark history and it begins even far before the three sovereignties exist and that's where the history of the Legendary Heroes takes place."

The woman is looking at him while nodding with understanding.

"So, you're saying that even you guys are competing with each other, you and the other big clans are having a good relationship?"

Kingstar nods in agreement.

"That's correct. Because of the Invasion event back then, we realized that if we are competing with each other, then we won't be able to make a progress in the game, so we are working together to go forward and prepare for what's about to come in the future. We are doing this for ourselves."

The woman is tilting her head while raising her eyebrows.

"That's new for us and I believe it's quite shocking for the people who are watching right now."

The woman then crosses her legs while staring at them both.

"I want to hear your opinion about what Player Trevor did. We both can agree that what he did accidentally and coincidentally prevented the war from happening. The community is in pros and cons about his doing, some say that he killed the emperor to prevent the war, some say that he killed the emperor just to gain something from the Eluna Empire like what he did to the three sovereignties, so we want to hear it from you what do you think about it."

Kingstar and Queenstar are looking at each other for quite a while and then he sighs while turning his head toward the woman.

"I actually don't have any thoughts about him. If we are going to talk about him, let's talk about the first thing he did. As you said earlier, he stole Krestan's limbs from the Eluna Empire, the Aarus Empire, and then from the Alliance Kingdoms. He managed to escape and we were hopeless and he disappeared, then he came back in the skirmish event and easily took us down. He came to me and all my members can vouch for me that he helped the Forsaken- clan just because he wanted to teach me a lesson that what I did to the Forsaken- clan and the other clans was wrong by poaching their members and I admit I made a mistake."

The woman is nodding with understanding, then Kingstar crosses his arms and continues.

"After that, we gave me information about the Maelstrom of Abyss dungeon as an apology. Yes, that's the truth. He was the one who gave us the privilege to discover the dungeon and let us take the first run, then because of him, we managed to clear the thunderstorm phase of the dungeon and that's a big achievement for all of us. The more I know about him, he's just like us, he just wants to play the game in his own way, and then the Invasion happened and everyone knows the story of how he single-handedly fought Shazjae while we rest with ease knowing how strong he is and the reason why he can be that strong is because of what he achieved of course."

Kingstar looks at the ceiling while humming, then he continues.

"Without him, we would fail to prevent the Invasion and those who said otherwise are just a bunch of weaklings who knows nothing about it. The four of us became heroes are thanks to him, and we are grateful for that. After we became heroes, he was the one who showed us the Land of Sigrid where all the heroes and the people of Orion go to when they die, but then he did those things. He killed NPCs, players, and that incident near the Delaisse Mountain where he brutally massacred the NPCs there."

Kingstar flips his hand.

"Again, he did something wrong and went missing, then all of this happened. He came and killed the emperor with Krestan's help. They both destroyed the Eluna Empire's capital city and half of their army, and thanks to that, the war didn't happen. I think he's a mysterious guy and nobody knows what's he thinking or why he does things, but for me, in the end, he did all that for a reason. Of course, I'm not saying that he's not wrong, and I don't justify what he did for killing the Emperor of the Eluna Empire and destroying the capital city of the Eluna Empire. He shouldn't go around in the game unpunished of course, at least he should be paying for what he did."

Kingstar leans forward and looks at the woman and then looks at the camera.

"Now, that you all have heard what I'm thinking about him, I'm going to ask you all the same question. What's your opinion about him?"

The woman is humming while tapping her lips.

"Interesting... now that I understand what's going on, it affects my opinion about Trevor."

The woman then looks at the camera.

"I think that's some heavy thoughts and I believe the reason why the game developers haven't made any announcement related to him is that they know the game and they could be thinking the same thing like me or Kingstar, but I hope they're going to give us the answer that we have been waiting for."

The woman continues the interview with Kingstar and Queenstar while we are watching them, and then Grisell's phone is ringing. She looks at her phone and picks up the call. We are looking at her and listening to her conversation, but she's just humming and then hanging up the phone. She looks at us and scratches her eyebrow.

"I have bad news... the players from the Eluna Empire are decreasing very drastically, and those friends of mine think that they won't be able to rebuild the capital city on their own, so they're asking me to ask you, Ivonna, if you're willing to lend a hand for them?"

Ivonna is humming with understanding.

"Well, you know the answer.. Let's go and help them."
