Chapter 22: Terrifying Conjectures About the History of 7000 Years Ago, and Fiona's Cries
"If this truly marks the conclusion of the Hall of Glory, then where is the portrait of the first Demon Emperor, Amon Crimson?"
Question marks appeared above his head as he muttered in confusion.
To be honest, among all the generations of Demon Emperors in existence, it was Amon Crimson, the very first Demon Emperor in the world, who, besides Morgan Crimson, sparked his intense curiosity.
The history and ancient literature documenting Amon Crimson were exceedingly rare, as if only a handful of individuals had ever recorded his story.
Even within the libraries of the Elysium Imperial Palace and the Holy Orthodox Great Hall, there were only a scant few records about him, almost enough to count on one hand.
Initially, Leon himself was somewhat puzzled by the reason for this, which fueled his eagerness to visit the Hall of Glory and study the image of this great and legendary figure.
However, to his dismay, there wasn't even a portrait of Amon Crimson in the Hall of Glory, leaving him filled with regret.
"Hey~ How is it possible that there's no portrait of such a legendary figure in the Hall of Glory?" he complained, unable to accept this outcome.
In fact, not only was the history of Demon Emperor Amon Crimson sparsely recorded in the libraries of both the Elysium Imperial Palace and the Holy Orthodox Great Hall, but even the history of the three first-generation heroes remained shrouded in obscurity.
Little was documented aside from the tale of their collective victory over Demon Emperor Amon Crimson 7,000 years ago.
Due to this, he truly hoped that the Hall of Glory would furnish him with a satisfactory answer, yet regrettably, it appeared unattainable.
"Damn it! I'm certain that person's portrait must be in this hall! There's a good chance I might have overlooked it!" Leon snapped back to reality, realizing the validity of his thoughts.
After all, he had been too engrossed in examining all the portraits of the Demon Emperors earlier, so it made sense that he may have overlooked Amon Crimson's portrait.
Without hesitation, he renewed his determination and resolved to retrace his steps to
"No! I have to go over there and apologize!" Leon panicked, fearing the possibility of being hated by his adorable little girl.
Without consideration for the Hall of Glory behind him, he sprinted out of the hall, guided solely by the direction from which the crying voice emanated.
After all, he was initially lost, and this voice could certainly lead him toward the garden where Fiona was crying right now!
However, what escaped his notice was that the moment his figure vanished from the entrance of the Hall of Glory, the red eyes of all the Demon Emperor paintings on the walls, excluding Liliana's, suddenly shifted mysteriously in the direction of his departure.
Particularly notable was the painting at the far end of the hall, where the Second Demon Emperor, Morgan Crimson, suddenly exhibited a smile, as if the image of his lips had moved of its own accord.
