Chapter 234: Devil's Hand (Part-2)
Outside the palace gates.
Guards were looking at the group of people and the carriage with a unconscious Leo lying down with suspiciously vision and looked at Dernol who is a very influential person in the palace and greatly respected by all servants but still they can't just allow anybody to enter the royal residential area and have to abide by the rules.
Kai and Alice stood there patiently waiting for Ava and Antonio to arrive. Besides them a dark skin muscular man in his forties and a white woman with somewhat average looks were standing with nervous expressions.
They were Leo's father and mother. Leo's father, Karmon, is a carriage driver while his mother, Seri, works in a tailor shop as a senior tailor. Both most of the day remain out of house while Leo used to take care of the temple. Both are aware of the two identities of Dernol and would always leave Leo in the temple without any worry.
Yesterday, When he returned from work his neighbours informed him that Evaron was caught by the guard for interrogation on finding mama bombs inside the temple and was put into the prison.
Knowing that it was his son who acted with impulse and put the blame on him. He could only scold Leo and felt helpless. Being raised by his father with Evaron. He has always been a big brother like figure for him and knows that his big brother will never do such a thing even if he is forced to death.
That's the kind of principle he lives by with a gentle smile on his face while living a simple life while facing the hardships of life and stubbornly refusing to live with them.
Saying it's better for him to live in the temple and the dirty slums. He is well aware that it was because their house is too small for four people to stay and he didn't want to bother them. He also rarely visited them and would spend his time earning his own money honestly rather than depend on somebody. He also had quite a reputation in the slums after all; he was a very close friend of Princess Ava and would occasionally visit him and he is well aware that his brother and Princess Ava relationship was more than that of friendship.
That's why the first thought he had after knowing about the capture of his brother was to find a way to contact princess Ava.
Yet, Here he is currently standing before the gates of Royal residential Palace with his big brother Evaron who due to some magical phenomenon has reverted back to his youthful late teenage years. Not to mention coming to terms with the secret of their family lineage and his son awakening as a magic user.
It was still hard for him to digest and without giving them enough time to react both he and his wife were dragged here.
On their way, Lord Ludura explained that due to the awakening of his son, the saint 's bloodline seal on their family lineage has been undone and it will not be safe for them to stay in the slums.
As ordinary people both his wife and he cannot understand the seriousness of the issue. But Ludura is well aware of the dangers.
Looking at his brother who was joyfully talking to the mysterious young lady whose beauty even surpassed Princess Ava.
'Big brother is really born with some luck with a lady to think his wife from past life will come to find him traveling a long journey.' thinking so, Wife Seri whose entire body was shaking as he placed his hand on her shoulder, causing her to look at him.
"Don't worry, Lord Ludura and big brother are here. Did you not hear from them that Prince Antonio and Princess Ava will be here soon to welcome us."
"Hmmm."nodded Seri with a nervous expression.
Karmon was helpless. He is well aware of his wife's time and overthinking personality which Leo had inherited from her.
Just as they were talking with each other.
They heard the fast running footsteps and saw a handsome youthful man and a woman walking towards them.
They were Antonio and Ava who came as fast as possible to welcome them after making arrangements for Kai and his group.
Seeing them, guards were about to bow in respect when they suddenly heard the dominating voice of Antonio.
"Open the gates and let them in. They are important guests of mine."
Listening to command of the Prince, they quickly opened the door as Antonio and Ava welcomed them.
"Bother, I hope you don't have to wait for long."
"Don't worry about that, we have just arrived. Let me introduce to Leo father and mother. Your sister must have already told you about them."
As he leads him to them as Karmon and Seri.Being a citizen of The Other kingdom they have heard many stories of his bravery on the battlefield already and his great potential.
"His Royal Highness, Her royal Highness. it's our pleasure to meet you."said as they were about to bow but were stopped by Antonio.
The guards were also shocked by the action of the crown Prince and looked at the couples who were most likely ordinary citizens of the Kingdom.
"No, you need to bow. You two are Leo father and mother nor do I care to make family members of brother Evaron bow to me."said Antonio as he looked at his sister who nodded with satisfaction and felt relieved.
Even if his sister was not here, Antonio doesn't dare to be disrespectful to them. Who dares to go against the family with peak saint rank bloodline? One must know that even among the five saint families. Only the Davis clan have a peak saint rank bloodline, not to mention knowing the fact that Leo's potential of becoming magic emperor in the future is much higher than Hero Kadar.
"Let's go, Inside. We have already made arrangements for your stay."
Hearing that Karmon and Seri are looking at them.
"Thank you. Your highness for taking care of us."
"it's nothing, I don't think even my Royal father dared to reject it.'' Antonio unconsciously looked at Ludura who was smiling at him. Causing him to shudder and feel goosebumps throughout the body.``
Karmon and Seri got up in their carriage and ended the gate following Ludura and Antonio.
Alice and Ava looked at Kai who were looking towards the tall five storey buildings at the distance of ten kilometres east of the royal residential area with narrow eyes. It was very far away but Kai can feel it and he knows from his experience that his senses are never wrong.
Being ruler of forbidden forests, Kai senses are far sharper than others at detection, killing and malicious intention.
"What happened to Evaron?" Asked Ava as she looked at him.
"Someone was now peeking at us from those tall buildings in the eastern region. If I remember correctly that place is under construction."
Hearing that Ava also looked towards the building with faced towards the royal palace but couldn't feel anything usual.
Kai suddenly felt that the presence of that person had disappeared and relaxed.
"He is gone." Said Kai as he took his vision back and turned around.
"Let's go, I am exhausted and hungry after the adventures activities of today. But remember to send some person to investigate later. Maybe we will find some clues."
Nodded Ava while taking a mental note to not forget about it and let her brother know about it.
As they enter the gate, Kai's eyes shine with a ruthless ray of light and his lips curled up as his shadow trembled and a piece of it separated and moved towards the east direction at extreme speed.
