Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 126 – BACK TO THE CAPITAL
After Alice and Albert's victory against Ibelal and some of his chosen warlords, the situation became easier for Grandpa Glenn to suppress the imperial invasion. The ultimate victory falls to the Kingdom of Meglovia.
[Master, what should I do now? Should we stay for a moment in this Lobos City to help with the repairs?]
To Alice's question, I answered, I,
“No. Please bring Albert back to the capital Megdia. We'll meet there.”
[As per your orders, Master.]
Thus, after a brief greeting with Grandpa Glenn, Alice brought home Albert who was still unconscious with her in the horse carriage that Grandpa Glenn had given her. At least, that's what it looks like from the outside.
I immediately modified the vehicle using some of my familiar to become an express horse carriage. Well, the point is that it no longer travels by horse foot, but rather wind speed. Thanks to her, Alice and Albert were able to arrive back to the capital Megdia in less time.
I did the same thing on the way home. We were about to head back to the capital of the Meglovia Kingdom by riding the express train made of my ice magic.
The last person we were waiting for.
“Master, sorry to have kept you waiting a long time. This is food for you.”
Yasmin brought home some fruits that were immediately ready to eat.
Before I go home, eat it with others to maintain stamina. I felt alive again after seven days and seven nights of not touching the food in the least.
“Sorry to have troubled you, Yasmin.”
“Ah, it's nothing, Master. Precisely as your maid, I feel embarrassed because I can only do this limited, it was too late because there was a little trouble on the road.”
“No, Yasmin. You've done very well.”
Hearing that answer, Yasmin smiled with satisfaction and I smiled with relief.
Without wasting any more time after finishing our meal, we immediately boarded the horse carriage to return to the capital Megdia. But before that, according to Yasmin and Talia, there was one more person we had to pick up at the corner of the capital Cabalcus. He is Swein, a confidant of Kak Tius who is now guarding the body of Kak Tius that I have preserved by freezing there.
Doctor Minerva had long since returned to the city of Painfinn long before Yasmin's return.
The reason was obviously why he should not come with us back to the capital Megdia.
The power regarding Doctor Minerva's portal magic has not yet been exposed to the world. It would be troublesome to explain without exposing that power of course about how Doctor Minerva was able to get to this place in such a short time even though he had just been in Painfinn City.
In the town of Painfinn itself, it seems that no one has realized that Doctor Minerva is temporarily missing because she had been preparing for a leave of absence at the Venia clinic before Doctor Minerva left. For sure now, Venia is temporarily in a fog at her clinic about her being the only doctor currently in the clinic to treat her many-locked patients.
But before leaving, thanks to Doctor Minerva's instructions, I finally learned of the abominable project of the empire that they named the first order. I must immediately think of a way to how I can destroy that vile project of the empire.
If necessary, the empire itself will be me devour. However, it is not the time to think about the fate of other people's country at this time. How will the future fate of the Kingdom of Meglovia be because the crown prince is now gone. Moreover, the replacement number one has not been much longer.
The commotion will definitely be unavoidable in the near future.
“Mas Lou?”
Perhaps because seeing my expression was too grim, Talia became worried about me.
Body weak. However, Talia continued to breastfeed our newborn child with a smile.
I had become a bad husband thanks to my selfishness, I almost lost both of their lives. I'm lucky they both survived. What would I be without their existence?
I need to return at least to the capital Megdia first in order to stabilize the health condition of Talia and our baby.
“Iya, Darling. I'm doing fine. You rest a lot with our baby. You guys look so tired.”
Talia smiled at me. For some reason, every time Talia smiled, it felt like there were flower petals blooming inside me. It makes me very happy.
Even without me noticing, I had smiled back at her, mesmerized behind her charming smile. As the saying goes, nothing beats the sweetness of life other than the love between partners. That's how I feel right now that immediately threw all my stress that almost made me collapse it.
“Kuekhekhekhe.”
“Mas Lou, it seems Lion wants to play around with his father.”
“That's our son's name Mas. We have agreed that if this baby was born as a boy, we will name it with a name similar to Mas, Helion, called Lion.”
I only responded to Talia's words with a warm smile. I grabbed our little active baby, Lion, onto my lap.
He seemed to have fun playing with his father. But Lion seems very interested in the color of my eyes that are as dark as the abyss. He's trying to reach her. But that distracted me a little. Who can feel at home if his eyes are pierced like toys even though the culprit is a cute baby of our own.
I also tried to calm Lion by showing him water magic that twirled like a gondola.
“Kuekhekhekhe.”
Lion seemed to enjoy the show very much, seen how he tried to ruffle his water gondola this time no matter how many times he was scrambled, will only remain intact as ever.
Of course I'm happy to see my active son. It means he was born healthy. He was quite active moving for the size of a baby who had just been born into the world. Normally, babies will mostly fall asleep at least three days after they are born. But our little Lion was already this active in moving once it was born into the world. That was only possible because Lion was also a special child born with mana protection.
As soon as Lion's gaze was diverted, I looked back at my wife. He had fallen asleep in a state of sitting. Since both of my hands were temporarily preoccupied by Lion, I simply laid my current wife on my shoulder.
I stroked her silver hair that was once fine, but now it looked disheveled after arriving at this place.
I saw Talia smiling in her sleep after I stroked her. She really looks so cute.
I feel like I have become the luckiest person right now in the world for having Talia and Lion beside me. May this happiness last.
It didn't take me long to reach the place where Swein was. Then I looked back at the corpse of Sister Tius preserved through my ice magic.
The body was separated because it was brutally mutilated, but I managed to reunite it. However, Sister Tius remained rigidly stretched as it is. As sophisticated as the science of magic and science that I have, I can't possibly turn on a dead person.
I have lost the figure of Brother Tius for good.
But I was too naive. I ignored that the health condition of my father, the king of the Kingdom of Meglovia, is currently not good.
When I arrived at the royal capital, the political rivalry between your cities grew stronger.
I'm really angry with all of them. It would be the same as expecting my father's death as soon as possible. It seems that Ilene became their next highlight to occupy the position of crown princess.
Once I visited Ayahanda, her condition was really very weak so I took the initiative to immediately check her health condition.
“You fucking kid! You son of a bitch!”
But my mother immediately greeted me with her anger.
“You... You know what caused your father's health condition to be like this?”
“I'm sorry, Mother. If I realized everything and went with Kak Tius from the beginning, I would have saved Brother's life.”
I said that with a sincere feeling.
- Plaque.
But what I got was a very heartbreaking slap.
It wasn't physical pain that hurt me, I was hurt because my mother could do that to me.
“Our precious child's death, Tius, is indeed very heartbreaking to us. But we've been working hard on all of that. But what are you doing?! Both of our sons have died, but even our remaining son has become a monster! Don't you feel sorry for us?! Why do you have to be a monster, Helios?! At least kill us before you do!”
I don't understand this feeling at all. I don't know why I actually feel the sensation of pleasure in the sarcastic words of Mother. Ah, I got it. This is the first time my mother has acknowledged me as her son. And that's what makes me happy.
However, due to my lack of self-control, I had both my parents injured when they had just had to accept the death of my brother, Tius, following the departure of my previous brother, Leon.
But what's worst, even sad I don't have time.
“Your Majesty the Queen! Lothawat! His Majesty The King convulsed!”
My father was suddenly in a dying condition. It was all about knowing that I became a monster and slaughtered all the traitors of Cabalcus. It was all my fault.
