Chapter 23. Possession
"The Sole Prince of the Fallen Kingdom, huh..." The words came out of Aiden's mouth involuntarily.
It pained him just to see those words written as the title, as if he had obtained it through his actions—or wait, maybe he had.
C'mon, focus, Aiden! No need to dwell too much in thoughts. You have a path in front of you that you need to follow, so focus on it!
"Char, would you mind explaining the 'Possession' to me? It seems like it's something I inherited after Father died," he asked in a rather solemn voice.
[It is indeed as you think, Host.]
[Possessions are matters that are tied to one's soul and cannot be stolen by anyone, as when their owner dies, they either vanish with them or get passed down to their successor if that was the owner's dying wish. However, the owner willingly transferring their possession during their lifetime to someone else is possible.]
[Possessions can include anything: be it a living or non-living being, be it the cutest and fluffiest animal or the most gruesome of the Monsters known or unknown, be it a needle or the sharpest sword gifted by the divine. Anything and everything can be considered as a Possession, and as long as the possession is bound to someone, it cannot hurt its owner, regardless of its own will.]
[Your Possession, {Possession: Legacy of the Everharts}, is an energy of an artifact passed down through the generations of Everharts for as long as they have existed, and after your Father, Azriel Everhart, died fighting against the waves of monsters, it has been inherited by you, whom he thought of as his rightful successor.]
That sounds like a slave contract, but applicable to anything. It disgusted him that these kinds of things were part of the system.
And due to everyone having a system, wasn't that legalizing slavery?
Was that the case even in our Kingdom?
