Elletear Lou Nebulis IX/Synopsis

## History

Elletear was the first-born child of Mirabea Lou Nebulis VIII, but despite her pureblood lineage, Elletear was born with a remarkably weak astral power, causing her to be shunned by the people around her.

No one could understand Elletear's pain as her sisters were praised for being born with their powers while she watched from behind. Even when the retainers gossiped about her, she could not do anything but endure the humiliation and run back to her room withholding her tears. After diving into her bed, she would cry inconsolably.

Due to this treatment, Elletear sought to become queen and change the Nebulis Sovereignty. She had worked harder than anyone else in etiquette, education, and intellect. She was desperate to achieve anything possible through effort, but even that didn't change her fate. She could never become queen because her astral power was too useless, and that single factor made her a failure.

If Sisbell felt alienated in the palace, it was worse for Elletear. She really had no one in there. With no promise of becoming the queen, no one would genuinely follow her. She had always been alone, it was she who had been branded a loser at birth. Having had enough of everything, of the anguish, the bitter tears, the hypocrisy, Elletear set out to destroy this false paradise. For this reason, she worked with the Eight Great Apostles to harm her family.

She met Johaim, an astral mage who similarly faced rejection because of his weak astral power, and the two secretly betrayed their nation to work with the Heavenly Empire. They vowed to destroy not only the Sovereignty which discriminated against weak astral mages but the Empire that discriminated against all astral mages.

Two years ago, in a bid to obtain greater power, Elletear willingly traveled to Elza's Sarcophagus to be experimented on. She became Kelvina's first purebred specimen, labeled Subject E, and the Great Planetary Calamity was transplanted into her. But not even Kelvina could predict that Elletear's compatibility with it would be too high, causing her to start losing control of herself. However, Elletear regained her mind after somehow making the Calamity take a liking to her, and escaped the facility before she could be disposed of.

## Synopsis

### Volume 4

Not long after the incident with Salinger the Transcendent, Elletear returned from her half-year-long campaign, which she undertook to gather support for the conclave. After her return, she went to meet with Lord Mask of the Zoa family, falsely informing him that her two sisters, Alice and Sisbell, had ties with the Empire and that they were eventually going to betray the Sovereignty.

Knowing that Sisbell would go to Alsamira unguarded due to her trust issues, Elletear informed the Eight Great Apostles of her whereabouts. These Imperial leaders then ordered the deployment of the Witch Hunter Object to capture the *purebred*.

After the Zoas' pursuit of Sisbell is made known, the Queen summons Elletear in order to ask her two questions. One, was she the one who leaked Sisbell's destination. And two, was she the real Elletear?

### Volume 5

Mirabea asks this because the real one would've known about the conflict between the two families. But before Elletear gives any definitive answer, she laughs it off since she figured out that the "queen" in front of her was a fake. The real Mirabea then reveals herself soon afterward, but the discussion doesn't go any further because of Alice's urgent return.

Since Alice needed to go to Sisbell's side without Lord Mask following her, the Queen schedules a conference between the three families. As the second-in-command of the Zoas, Lord Mask will have no choice but to attend, while Alice's place could easily be filled by Elletear.

However, just as they were going to the conference, an explosion occurs in the queen's chambers. Fortunately, no one is seriously injured because Mirabea used her wind astral power to shield everyone from the blast. Because Elletear bid farewell to the House of Lou using her astral power to mimic Lord Mask's voice, she made him her scapegoat for the attempted assassination of the queen.

Following Vichyssoise's failure, Elletear visited Lord Talisman at the Solar Spire to discuss the future of their plans. Neither of them wants Sisbell to return, as she can and will expose their acts of treason.

### Volume 6

When Unit 907 was about to bring Sisbell to Central State, Elletear intercepts and coerces them into accompanying her to the Lou family's villa. She knows that they are Imperial soldiers, and claims that she used to be a double agent in the Empire before she was discovered. The first princess also tells them that her channels to send information were still active, suggesting that she could report them if they didn't comply.

At the villa, she attempted to get Iska to sleep with her, but Sisbell and Alice protested. The sisters then decide to settle it with a lottery game, which ends with Alice's victory. Because the bed was big enough for the four, they end up sharing the bed. That night, Elletear and Sisbell dreamt about Iska.

Before Elletear returned to the palace, as per Alice's mission, she commented about how Sisbell felt considering that Shuvalts was kidnapped. Because she said it with certainty, Sisbell immediately realized that Elletear was the traitor. Elletear then tells her little sister to stay obediently in the villa and he might come back to her, or at least that's what her instincts were telling her.

### Volume 7

When Johaim, the first seat of the Saint Disciples, was about to cut down the Queen, Elletear steps in to "save" her mother. Upon seeing her daughter's blood, Mirabea faints, allowing Johaim to take Elletear prisoner. But in reality, she isn't in any real danger, as she and Johaim have been working together since the beginning.

Elletear would later emerge as **Subject E** when Growley discovered Vichyssoise just outside the palace. He suddenly felt a sinister presence and looks above to see a bewitching figure covered by shadow floating up in the sky, as if trying to block the moon. Several hours later, three royals are reported missing: Sisbell, Elletear, and Growley. All heading towards the Empire for experimentation.

### Volume 8

Outside the Sovereignty, an Imperial commander informs her that they will wait for the plane that will take them back to the Empire.

Despite receiving a fatal and excruciating wound from Johaim, her wounds have already started healing as a sign that she was becoming less and less human. Feeling hot and sweaty, Elletear asks a soldier for water when she suddenly receives a call from Talisman. She asks for an update and Talisman tells her that the Sovereignty is in chaos, as she planned. The head of the Hydra then notices her strained breathing, and she explains that she has sustained too much damage from Growley's Vice, which wouldn't be a problem in her mutant form, but right now she is in human form.

After finishing, she hands over the communicator to a soldier and takes a sip of water, clenching her teeth as she feels incredibly nauseous. She was already at a stage where she didn't need water to live anymore.

### Volume 12

Like a ghost, Elletear arrives at the Unseen Will and kills all of the Eight Great Apostles. She then makes her way up to the surface and puts everyone she came across in a coma. The Zoa eventually find the unmoving soldiers, so Elletear greets them in her monster form. Because she reveals that she also wants the destruction of the Sovereignty, the Zoa attack her to no avail. Kissing's thorns does indeed erase her, but Elletear somehow reappears and puts everyone in a coma except Kissing.

Still in her monster form, she finds Alice and cheerfully gives her a clue as to who she is, shocking Alice as Elletear continues tormenting her. The two clash in ideology, with Alice believing that the strong will protect the weak, but Elletear replies that if they defeat the Empire, there would be no one to oppose the strong. For this reason, she will bring down both superpowers and give the weak a chance. Then out of nowhere, she asks Alice where is her *knight*, explaining that princesses are fragile beings who should have someone fighting alongside them. Elletear's knight, Johaim, appears and blindsides Alice.

Eventually, the Emperor Yunmelngen teleports everyone to where Elletear and Alice are, with Crosswell and Nebulis setting aside their fight to attack Elletear together, as they both know what is inside of her. Seeing them as a threat, Elletear recites a song from the "Great Star Disaster" and incapacitates the three forbearers. While Elletear confronts Alice, Johaim stops Iska from joining her. Because suppressing the forbearers while also dealing with Alice and Iska is taking a toll on her, she retreats to the source of the "Great Star Disaster" to finish up her transformation, not before summing two cyclops to hold them off.

### Volume 13

After Iska, Alice, and their allies arrived at an oasis in the contaminated region of Katalisk, Elletear sends out corrupted astral spirits to deal with them.

The Hydra family eventually reaches and attacks Elletear with soldiers empowered by Mizerhyby's Glory, but they soon fall victim to Elletear's Requiem of the Stars. Talisman can barely resist and seemingly holds his chest in exhaustion. The Head of the Hydra tries to fight back and sinks his fist into her body, but she laughs at his pathetic struggle. However, Talisman acknowledges that he can't beat her and reveals the syringe that he hid in his hand, overdosing her with more of the Great Star Disaster that mutated her in the first place. It already took a lot of time for Elletear to adapt to her new body, so injecting her more causes her to become unstable and lose her form.

Talisman and Mizerhyby happily celebrate, but suddenly, Elletear grabs Talisman and tells him that they'll enjoy despair together. All Mizerhyby can do is watch helplessly and listen to Talisman's screams.
