Semua Bab The Hidden King: Bab 131 - Bab 140

Craig excluded me from training for the rest of the day. I was left to be the spectator for the matchup between Aquant and Torus. If they had a problem with the new arrangement, none said anything. They did whatever they were told.Even Craig showed a few of his skills when attacking the two. He claimed he was not giving his hundred percent yet he was able to take down both men with a few counterattacks. His level to theirs was far apart. Still, Torus and Aquant held their own for much longer than most people would have.The trick was they never struck an attack until they were certain it would hit. Before that, they evaded Craig. Even so, he managed to calculate their movement and struck accordingly. In the end, the two men lost. It was a beautiful sight. Craig mentioned I would be stronger than him once I got my true powers. I doubt that. He was too good. Half his powers brought destruction on two of the most powerful men in the ocean. I couldn't imagine what

The next morning, everyone was back and training sessions resumed. To say I had a great time with Alex and Sophie was an understatement. I forgot how happy and relaxed they made me feel. It was so long that we were friends just enjoying ourselves. I liked that our little team. It was hard being without them. Still, what we shared on that pier rejuvenated and I was ready to face the world. In this case, it was Aquant and Torus.Torus was back to his aloof yet relaxed self. He used fewer harsh words and held his tongue for the most part. It was kind of refreshing. He could switch roles within a blink of an eye without caring. It was a bit intriguing, but once we were not in training I stayed clear of him. It was safe to say he was a bit of a psycho. Anyone who could change demeanor to their liking was never the type to get comfortable with. It was a hard fact that saved me multiple times.Since we were on the topic of chances, I had to say that coronation was eve

"Are you okay?" I jumped down on the sand beside Aqualia.She didn't take her eyes off Sophie and Mitch down the beach. I had to admit Sophie was a bit happier than usual. Mitch was more laid back. He did spend a little more time around her than anyone else. I figured it was because they were now connected.Aqualia didn't seem to enjoy their closeness. It was a bit surprising that it no longer bothered me how close they got. I was just happy Sophie was happy and okay. There was no point being stuck in the past, anyway. I guess it was different for Aqualia."I told Mitchalus we should start having babies."I choked on air. The statement caught me much off guard.Aqualia didn't take it as an offense but smiled. "I guess it does sound weird but we are royalties. Mitchalus is not like you. He knows our ways and our responsibilities. Bringing forth offsprings in the final stage of the mating ceremony. But, he got angry and now sleeps

"What are you scared of?" The scenery on the beach paused and the Sea Witch Queen from before appeared.Even though Craig's monster was not moving, it was scaring me. "What is that thing?"Most importantly, did all sorcerers have it? If this was Fenon's secret weapon, then I had no chance of beating him. Without my full powers, I was doomed.The mermaid's followed my gaze. "It's beautiful, isn't it?"We had two different ideas of beautiful, lady.She went on without my response. "Prince Craigleon is the only sorcerer like that. You don't have to worry. It's a manifestation of Prince Craigleon's true personality."That was a bit of a relief. If every sorcerer had that thing, my job was going to be much harder. But, it did not make sense at the same time. Craig was always nice. Ever since I was a child, there was not one single moment where he got upset. He was always calm even when I did something bad. He would sit me

"Did you see exactly where it was?" Craig asked, pouring himself a second cup of tea.I decided to fill everyone in on my dream. Of course, I left out the part where I eavesdropped on my parent's conversation. How it happened was still a mystery. To be honest, I was somewhat happy to learn the truth. It helped me to understand much about myself. Craig would always remain my Father. Peter was my Dad whether his sperm created me or not. He was there for me as a Dad throughout my life. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.Mom had her reasons for not telling me everything. At a time like now, I had to respect that. There was time to dwell on the past and be upset. I did get an opportunity to know Craig. He was that person that stood by me through thick and thin. He showed me cool stuff and never got angry even when I misbehaved. He was that guy that told me cool stories and patted my head when I was sad. What more could I have ever wanted? Craig was my Father e
