After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1897

Chapter 1897: Virion and Valhalla

Virion never wanted to be the Lord at all. It was just that neither he nor his brother revealed this fact, because then it’d be even more chaotic.

Perhaps more men like their uncle, or his supporters, could appear again, bidding for the lordship that they did not deserve.

It was annoying to still have bugs flying around and speaking for him, but at the same time, it was also why he knew he could not casually reveal his own wishes.

With such a good heir like Virion, and with very few blood relatives with the Lord, if he announced that Virion didn’t want to have anything to do with the position, it was tantamount to destabilising the City’s future.

Virion was literally there just to make sure that there’s someone handling the reins if something happens to his brother, or if he got sick again.

After what had happened the last time, Virion, as free-spirited as he was, did not dare leave casually again.

Then again, when he left before to go on adventures (and was later kidnapped due to his stupidity, mostly), the brothers had trusted their uncle to be the deputy, especially since his afflictions appeared more often and he was often bedridden.

They truly had no clue about his plans. It wasn’t because they were careless. They were a warring territory that had been through more wars than most of their peers. They naturally had their own habits and network of information.

Who’d have thought that their uncle still managed to hide so well despite all that? It could be said that despite not being as strong as Valhalla, the man had a pretty good head on his shoulders.

Of course, that head still ended up in a platter when Virion returned.

Virion was relatively young and was not considered a powerhouse in the city, but he was very skilled and had good control over his elements. Using some secret passages only he and his brother knew, he assassinated the bastard, and with the help of various allies who went to attack from elsewhere, regained control over the palace.

Virion was naturally quite bitter about the betrayal and was also livid about what he had to go through because of his uncle.

Back then, this damned uncle made deals with a few territories and, after tiring Virion out and catching him off guard, used quite a few magic tools to hold him down indefinitely.

It was one of the things he was thankful for Alterra for, despite never having been there before. It was also why Viirion knew he couldn’t leave yet and head there. There were too many things to settle down here, and there were still forces his uncle left behind.

He did ask Alterra to tell them if there was a cure that could reverse the effect of the disease, even if it took years. He refused to believe that his brother couldn’t bear his own children again.

The last time he heard from Alterra, they had been developing cures for the survivors already, but it was much more difficult than the cure they already managed to create. After all, the effects on survivors had already ’set’ and would be difficult to reverse.

He also took this chance to bond with his wives. There were two of them, and he had already put his foot forward that no one else would be pushed towards him. If he were to take a new wife, it would be entirely up to him.
