Who Wouldn't Like an Eldar Lady?
The name Eldrad Ulthuran might not be known to the Imperium of Man, but as a member of the Eldar, Kailanaris knew it all too well.
The High Seer, Eldrad Ulthuran, is the great prophet of the Ark World "Uthwe," the Ark World with the largest population remaining after the disintegration of the Eldar.
The prophecies of the Great Prophet Ulthuran not only helped the world of Uthwe's Ark World many times, averting future disasters, but he also never hesitated to help his own kind. Many Aeldari in the Ark World avoided crises because of the prophecies of the Great Prophet Ulthuran.
Although the Eldar now live in different Ark World, most of them hold the High Prophet Ulthuran in the highest esteem, even Samhan is no exception.
Therefore, when Kailanaris heard from the prophet Anvil that the prophecy came from the great prophet Ulthuran, he was so shocked that he felt inexplicable fear and unease.
Ulthuran's prophecies never fail!
At least in his memory, there had never been a deviation; every single time, he had saved the Aeldari from future calamities!
"Lord Anvil, please forgive my rudeness, but may I ask... is the human prophesied by the Great Prophet Ulthuran the same human I have seen?" Kailanaris wanted to go further and confirm the contents of the prophecy.
"Yes and no."
Anvil's answer was ambiguous, and he said calmly, "To be precise, the human you met was burdened with an extremely important 'covenant,' and that's the key."
He neither cared about nor wanted to know what the alliance was.
But if that's the case, does it mean... that everything written on the parchment by that human was true?!
At this thought, Kailanaris's breathing quickened, and his constricted pupils seemed to be filled with bloodshot veins. "Lord Anvil... if that's really the case, then shouldn't we..."
His considerations were actually quite simple.
Since Ulthuran's prophecy states that the future of that human is inextricably linked to the fate of the Aeldari, let's take a gamble and go all in!
All-in poker is an art!
Perhaps shocked by the Spirit Seer's bold idea, Anvil remained silent for a full half minute, but as a prophet who controlled the future of Samhan, he naturally could not act so rashly.
Moreover, in Ulthuran's prophecy, that human could bring more than just benefits to the Aeldari.
To be more precise, Ulthuran couldn't discern whether, in that chaotic future, the existence of that human was a blessing or a curse for the Aeldari.
"Your Excellency Anvil, are you worried?"
Kailanaris gazed at the silent prophet and asked doubtfully, "Doesn't Ulthuran's prophecy just happen to prove what that human mentioned in the parchment?"
His excitement stemmed entirely from the parchment scroll. If what the human said was true, it meant that... their Aeldari would have a chance to escape from their misery and completely break free from that damned soul "curse"!
It's no exaggeration to say that...
If anyone could free the Aeldari from the clutches of the Slaanesh, even if it meant letting them storm Holy Terra and drag the Emperor off his chair, the Aeldari wouldn't hesitate for a second!
Of course, this is all on the premise that it's true.
Kailanaris was initially only half-believing, but Ulthuran's prophecy completely solidified his belief!
The prophecies of the High Ulthuran Eldrad have never been wrong; his accuracy rate is 100%. This is his credibility and strength!
If he says yes, then it must be yes, even if it isn't!
"Kailanaris, this isn't as simple as it seems."
Anvil was somewhat troubled and didn't know how to explain it for a moment. Every decision he made concerned the survival of Samhan, so he had to be careful.
Having calmed down a bit, Kailanaris seemed to have guessed the reason that put Anvil in a difficult position: if he completely sided with that human, it would inevitably cause huge losses to the already small Samhan Craftworld!
It's even highly possible that the ultimate beneficiaries won't necessarily be the Samhan Ark Eldar. Paying such a high price, only to lose everything—who could bear that?
This is the reason why Anvil remained hesitant.
The "Uthwe" Ark World hasn't even moved, so why should their Samhan Ark World fill in the gaps first?
After a long silence, Anvil seemed to have made a decision. His gaze fell on Kailanaris, and his voice was slow and deliberate. "Let Hilda... go."
You mean...?
Kailanaris paused slightly, seemingly having guessed the prophet's intentions, and couldn't help but feel shocked. "Your Excellency, isn't Hilda, among the younger generation, the most promising successor to you... a bit too risky?"
However, Anvil shook his head, looking at him meaningfully. "It is precisely because Hilda is the last hope, the one who will inherit the 'Prophet' title, that I made this decision."
The prophet, staff in hand, turned to the Soul Circuit housing the Ancestor Soulstone, a look of melancholy on his face. He murmured, "This is the price that must be paid. Hilda will understand my good intentions." "Yes, Your Excellency the Prophet."
Kailanaris lowered his head deeply, understanding that from this day forward, Samhan would be bound to the chariot, heading towards a future no one could predict.
Was it a success or a failure?
No one knows the outcome; he can only sincerely hope that the ancient gods of the Aeldari... will protect their people!
Alert Star, Hyperion Sector.
The events of the day nearly brought down the Governor's Mansion, making Lucien deeply regret her words. She shouldn't have been so sharp-tongued, saying she would bear all the consequences!
Now, her desk was piled high with complaints and accusations from the 47th Antrel Lion Regiment, the 35th Regiment of the Astra Militarum, and various powerful families.
Alvin, on the other hand, retreated to his mansion after the incident, refusing to see anyone and closing the door to all visitors.
"You've really gone too far this time, young master."
Elsa rolled her eyes in exasperation and said irritably, "Letting the Xenos go in public like that! Luckily, Vennidar kept his mouth shut, or the Inquisitor would be knocking on our door by now!"
Even if they come knocking on his door, does he have any evidence?
Alvin was completely unconcerned about the uproar he had stirred up outside, and smiled calmly, "I am the heir of Valshius. Without evidence, what can the Inquisitor do to me?"
"You'd better be more careful next time." Elsa was exasperated with the young master's willfulness, but still reminded him, "Although there's no evidence, I suspect... quite a few Inquisitor are already taking advantage of this incident to keep a close eye on you."
"Then let's not give them any evidence."
Alvin remained quite calm; after all, it would be abnormal for a proper Rogue Trader to not have a few Inquisitor watching over him.
Just then, the void within the room seemed to distort slightly. Alvin's eyes narrowed, and he immediately shielded Elsa behind him, his Psykana Power surging like a tidal wave. "Who is it?!"
He never expected that Chaos would be so audacious as to directly invade his mansion. Did it really think that he, Alvin, was a pushover?
"Elsa, call for help!"
Alvin's eyes turned Silent Plate and drew his Executioner Greatsword. Fully equipped, he felt a surge of security. "You bastard, how dare you come to my face! If I don't kill you today, I'll change my name immediately!"
However, the next second...
A beautiful, graceful figure appeared.
Judging from her appearance, she was clearly a woman with pointed ears, a tall figure, and wearing blood-red armor. She was heroic and valiant, with a fiery red ponytail flying in the wind, revealing a delicate face with features that were extremely similar to a human's. Her eyes were like deep blue sapphires, quietly gazing at him.
"The Aeldari Samhan, the Path of Sorcery, the Battle Witch Hilda Ketok... It is an honor to meet you, Alvin Valshius." The Aeldari woman looked at the bewildered Alvin and said calmly, "Following the prophet's command, from this day forward, I will serve by your side."
Oh no, this is really becoming a tradition of the Second Empire!
But looking at Hilda, who had a beautiful face but also an exotic charm, Alvin suddenly understood the Thirteenth Lord. Who wouldn't like an Aeldari lady?!
