Raph's gaze turned towards the perpetrator. A satisfied smile appeared on his face on seeing his father walk calmly towards us through the door while holding the head of the lizard lady. "I've taken care of the rest of your minions....you shouldn't have any means of fighting right now". His father said as he dropped the head on the ground. Layla began to dissipate into the air. Her eyes lost focus and her hands hang down limply. "....don't....think....this is...the end...." She muttered on her last breath. Michaelo slowly turned his attention from the ghost that disappeared to his son. He noticed the ice and snow that surrounded the room and a smile slowly found his way on his face. "You've pushed yourself.." "...of course....I have to do this much to prove myself as a Jun.." Raph replied as they walked out of the room towards the direction he came from. "The King and his guards are on their way here, right ? It's best we follow the path I came through" "...." his father remained silent as he walked behind him. ****** The night grew brighter with the appearance of the sun on the horizon as Raph and his father walked towards the door of their residence. "....It was disappointing wasn't it ?" Michaelo asked as they opened the door. The maids in charge greeted them both while they nodded in response. "Not as much as you father....though we may have stopped a dangerous event from occurring in the future..." "...Hmm...." His father nodded his head as they climbed up the red carpeted royal wood staircase. "When we get back to our residence in pasville.....your training shall begin...understood ?" Raph nodded in excitement as they parted ways to different rooms. RAFFAELO'S POV. I felt exhausted from the short trip as I pulled the sword from my back. 'It was worth borrowing this from the guards'. I thought as I dropped it next to a table. I walked up to my bed with a tired sigh only to find an unnecessary guest lying quietly on it. '....the nerve of this girl...' I thought as I walked over to the other side. It was a tiring night. Not every 10 year old has the stamina to keep up with that kind of situation. Not to mention....she was a ghost....only mana worked on her...supposedly....but Father definitely doesn't possess mana....so how did he....' I did have my thoughts and theories on how he defeated her but they were all uncertainties. '...what if she just played to be defeated.....' that was also a possibility I considered but i don't think she'll pose much of a threat in the future.....I will surely become stronger than I am by the time I meet her if she wasn't exorcized'. "..is...is that you, Raph.." Morganna's voice projected in my room as I turned back towards her while sitting on the other end of my bed. "Did I wake you up....I apologize..." "Hmm...." She muttered as she rubbed her eyes with her fists while sitting up. 'So cute....' I thought, laying down.Nôv(el)B\\jnn "I'll be going to sleep now..." I said "Oh....is dad back yet ?" "Yes....we arrived together". She stared blankly at me and yawned. It seemed the King only notified the houses present and his family. I heard they were excavating the underground laboratories to find out the perpetrators. 'Though they're mostly going to find dead bodies....' "Raph...are you prepared ?" My mother asked, her voice snapping me out of my thoughts. My gaze fixed on her as I stopped walking in front of her. "Yes....I don't really have any personal luggage..." Her smile deepened. "My young man....it seems you went out causing trouble again with your dad". I could see my Dad giving us the side eye. 'Well...I'm sure he was curious as Well....so he ended up telling her about it...' I shook my head. "It was nothing mother....they weren't that difficult to handle..." She sighed, holding out her hands to hold mine. "You silly child....do you realize you could have gotten hurt....you're only 10" "....." it wasn't something I could refute, though I may seem like a child to them, my mind and personality were far from my actual age. I sighed. 'Well...not like I can tell them about it....at least not yet' "I'm sorry mother....I will be careful next time..." She sighed as she helped me into the carriage. "Aren't you coming as well ?" I asked as I sat down next to Morganna. "...I have something to take care of here in the Capital....It might take awhile before I come back home..." 'What ? Did something like this happen in the past ?' "Is there something going on, Mother ?" I asked with a raised brow. She patted my head. "Not something a young child should be concerned about..." Her gaze shifted to My father and I could notice her subtle change in expression. "....take care of the kids, My Lord" He nodded. "Don't get hurt....and summon me if you are in need of me..." A weak smile grew from her lips. "Of course" Some few minutes later, the coachman struck the horse causing it to move. My gaze was still fixed on my mother until we left the residence. I could feel a deep gap in my heart as mixed emotions filled my heart. 'In the past, she died too early....so now that she's alive....I can no longer tell what will happen to her in the future....' "Don't worry too much...." Morganna said as she patted my back. "She'll be back soon" her smile gave me some reassurance. "She's right...nothing will happen to your Mother". My father stated clearly on observing my expression. I smiled while nodding to his statement. Some parts of the future may seem uncertain because of how much I've changed it but if I'm with my family, I'll be sure to grow strong enough to protect them.
