“F… Frank… “ ***Earlier that day*** “Frank, remember what I said, is that clear?” “Yes Brother Cielo, and sorry” Looking back at the two, Cielo then walks back and hugs the two of them. “I have to go back to my hometown. It was a sudden but as I can see you two can manage without me. Don’t get caught in any trouble, okay? Wait for Clad, I am not sure if he would come but I tried reaching him” “You know where Brother Clad is? Is he doing good? Is he alright?” Frank asked with his face smiling in hopes that he might find news about Clad. They haven’t heard about him for ages. The last time they saw each other was the time they first met Cielo. Such words about the whereabouts of Clad just made his spirit light up. “About that…” Seeing his face, there is no possible way Cielo would be able to tell that he have no damn idea about what it was about. But thinking that it would not be bad to lie sometimes, he smiled and petted their head “Yes of course he is doing alright. It was hi

Heading to the kitchen, no one answers his call. 'He told me something feels off, and now they are gone...' The realization then struck him. 'Shit... Did something bad happen to them? ' Sounds of someone knocking on the door then echoed in the house. "Hello? May I know why you are here? What is your business in this house?" "Who are you?" "I am Cielo's neighbor. He left a week ago, and he hasn't come back ever since." 'So he left... ' "With the two brats?" "So you know Frank and Alex?" 'This man knows too much. Maybe he knows where they are. "Yes, where are they?" Diverting his gaze, the old man did not look at the guy he was talking to. "Is there something I need to know?" "I don't know if I should be telling this." He then pulls out a gold coin from his hand. "Is this enough to make you talk?" Surprised by what he did, the old man took a step backward and shook his hand. "No, no, I don't need that. I was just worried." Shaking his head, he then looks at the guy.

‘You are a King, you shall prioritize your people. They are like veins in your body. They are your blood, your organs, and everything that made you up. Give them importance just like how you cherish yourself. A king shall always have a heart for his people… remember that, Alexis.’ These words from his grandmother echoed in his head as he tapped the point of the sword on the ground. Blood dripped from his sword’s fuller down to his blade. ‘A king shall not hurt his people…’ But his glare at Orlando had a threat of killing. “But I am no longer a king.” He mumbled to himself as he charged forward. Ready to jump, he tripped on the ground, almost making him fall flat on his face. But luckily, he managed to roll and get back his balance. “Brother Clad!?” Clad glared at him. “You don’t dare snatch away my prey, Alex.” “But he was the one who ordered to kill Frank!” “More reason why I have to kill him. If you are here to kill this guy, then give up. You should have killed him when I

They say that when the sun is out, the moon will rise. The night will come as soon as the light is gone. The sky will be full of thousands of dots. Varies of colors with glimmering lights. But when the sun is nowhere to be found, that is when the monsters will go around. That is when their fangs will show as they open their mouth. “One bottle of rum, here you go! ” The tavern is full of people. Most of them are adventurers who just got back from doing their commissions. Having a small stay in this small yet cozy tavern has become part of their everyday habit as soon as the moon shows up. “Hahh, this tastes so good! ” “Cheers!” "HAHAAHAH, AND I SMASH IT IN ONE GO! BOOSH, HAH, I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD KILL A BUNCH OF SLIMES IN AN INSTANT. IT WAS TOO ANNOYING." “Now that you mentioned it, it feels like the forest is getting weird.” "YOU, SCARDY CAT!!” Cups of their drinks can be heard clashing down the table. Although it wasn’t in the form of taking out their anger, they all know t

“Right, that was nice. At least you have a decent mind for things as such.” Clad mumbled as he watched Alex build up his mana. It’s been a week since that incident happened. As much as he wanted to, he wanted to be back in that palace to crush that king as well as those who were involved in the matter. But his mana is not enough for him to let him. After causing a big ruckus over what happened last time, he can’t help but admit the fact that he did cause great chaos in that land. But all of it is not enough. It isn’t even half enough of what he wanted to happen. 'Go. Why don’t you head there now? You can surely kill him if you do that, don't you want to see him be destroyed?’ Shaking his head again, for some reason that voice keeps coming into his head. It wasn’t like that the last time. But it all started when he used that forbidden skill that he stole from the treasury. He knows that none of the elders in his family, not even Conor, will use that scroll. But when things did not
