Eddie stared at the sky while kneeling on the ground. For a moment he felt like he was staring at God. In the next few seconds, he lost consciousness due to the lack of mana. Meanwhile, Adam and everyone in the city stared at the figure with red crimson wings flying standing in the air.
Huff! Huff!
By now Aditya was also starting to feel weak. His stats might be significantly improved but his body was not strong enough to take on the attack of 4th-order. While breathing heavily he flew down.
"It looks like in the heat of the battle, we have gone too far." 80% of the castle was either destroyed or burned because of his Crimson flames.
Aditya landed right before Adam and his family. He knew he would have to explain a lot of things. He was even ready to be scolded by Adam. But before anyone could say anything, Aditya nearly fell down when a figure jumped on him and tightly hugged his wounded body.
"You were too reckless."
Sigh!
"This was just a spar."
Adam and Sophie looked at each other and smiled. Others might have not noticed it but Aditya never transformed into a dragon while fighting Eddie. This told that he was still holding back while fighting Eddie.
"Walter tell me what happened here?" Adam cannot ignore this huge commotion. 80% of the castle was burned and destroyed. A few hundred soldiers died and the whole training ground had become a deep crater.
"Early in the morning, the Young master asked me if I can show him where the training ground was."
Meanwhile, Aditya was looking at the small boy who was also looking at him while hiding behind his mother. This boy little boy was Zak, Julia's little brother. Julia often talked about her little brother.
"This was supposed to be a small spar, but never did I expect that this small spar would turn into a life and death battle." After hearing the whole story, Adam did not look good. He felt so angry that if he could he would have torn Eddie with his bare hands.
"Walter, give Eddie a healing potion. bring him to me. I will personally punish that man for insulting my daughter's fiance. Aditya is part of the family. I will not tolerate it if someone insults my family."
Meanwhile, Julia stopped hugging him. She took out a 3-star healing potion and gave it to Aditya. "Seriously why do you even have to fight him?" Julia sounded angry. She was looking to see if he had any other wounds on his body.
Aditya couldn't help but smile. Even though he won't say it, in this fight, he had to prove that he was worthy of Julia. He was fighting with her. 'With my current stats, I can even fight against a beginner 4th-order. Maybe in my dragon transformation, I can fight a Mid-4th-order.'
A moment later, Eddie kneeling before Adam.
"Eddie, tell me why you did this?" Before the wild Lion, even Eddie felt scared. He lowered his head as his body slightly trembled in fear.
"I thought that Aditya wasn't worthy."
"Eddie, are you questioning me?"
"No, my lord. I wouldn't dare."
"Then why do you feel that Aditya is unworthy when I have accepted him as my daughter's fiance?"
Eddie's face turned pale as he realized his mistakes. "My lord, I have made a mistake. I would to redeem myself."
"Tell me what do you think of Aditya after this battle?" Adam asked instead of replying.
Eddie glanced at Aditya who standing next to Julia. "If he is not worthy, then no one is worthy."
"You will receive no salary for the next 5 years. Your salary will be used to reconstruct the castle. Now as punishment, I want you to cut off your right arm and right leg."
Eddie gritted his teeth and nodded. He had no regret. This fight bought him satisfaction and made him realize that there were many things that he needed to improve on.
Julia covered Zak's eyes as she didn't wish her little brother to see this kind of scene.
With a swing, Eddie cut off his left arm and left arm. He gritted his teeth and tried to keep his consciousness. He felt his mind was going to stop working from the pain itself. "Give him a 5-star healing pill."
After taking the 5-star healing pill, Aditya was shocked to see Eddie's left arm and left arm leg were regrowing. He heard that a 5-star healing pill can even bring a person from the brink of death. As long as a person has one single breath left in him, that person could be healed using a 5-star healing pill.
"Since you have dared to insult Aditya, from now on you will be Aditya's bodyguard as long as he stays here. You shall protect him all the time." Aditya raised an eyebrow. What Julia's father was thinking? Why would he need a bodyguard when he can even take on 4th-order?
"Understood my lord."
"Walter take Eddie with you and heal all the soldiers."
"Honey, I will have to go out for an hour." Adam needed to contact the construction team and also give an explanation to the citizen of this city.
"Alright." Adam then disappeared almost as if he had teleported.
"Are you alright?" Sophie worriedly glanced at Aditya.
"I am doing fine now." His skin was healing at rapid speed. In the next few hours, he should be completely recovered.
"Aditya, let me introduce you to the next head of the house of Onard. Come on don't be shy." The little boy came out of hiding and innocently looked at Aditya. The little boy looked very much like younger Adam. Except that he had purple color hair and purple color pupil. The boy was still wearing a cute set of pajamas.
"Zak, why don't you introduce yourself?"
Zak looked at Aditya for a few seconds before bowing his head. "Hello! My name is Zak Onard. It's nice to meet you."
"Hello, Zak! I am Aditya. You can just call me big brother." Zak shyly nodded his head.
Sophie was a little worried that Zak might not like Aditya but it seems she was worried for nothing. "Alright, Since we're awake I will go to make breakfast. Why don't the two of you play with Zak for a while?"
"Alright"
After Sophie left, Julia bought them to the garden where she used to play in her free time. The garden was located on the other side of the training ground. Fortunately, only a small part of the garden was destroyed.
"Welcome to the garden."
"This is a garden...?"
The garden was more like a forest with thick and long trees growing. "I thought mostly grew your herbs in the garden."
Julia rolled her eyes hearing his words. "I don't have time for gardening. And why should I try gardening herbs when I can buy them with money." What Julia said was true. Money was the only thing that Julia never lacked.
"Besides if I start gardening most of my free time will be wasted and I wouldn't have gotten time to play with my lovely brother." Saying that Julia rubbed Zak's purple hair making the little boy very happy.
"How old is he?"
"He should have turned 7 this year."
Even though the little boy looked like Adam. His character and personality were very different from his father's. Unlike that Savage man, he was more like Julia's mother. 'So the daughter has mother's appearance and father's fierce personality while the son was father's appearance but mother's personality.'
"Aditya, why don't you play with Zak for a while? I will be back in 5 minutes." Julia still hasn't washed her face or anything. Because of the explosion she just directly got up and run to if everything was alright.
"Alright." Aditya knew the reason. He did not stop her. He instead paid his attention to the little boy who was also curiously looking at him.
"Big brother, are you Big sister's boyfriend?"
Aditya smiled as he sat under the giant tree. He rested his back on the tree trunk while signaling the boy to sit next to him.
"Yes, I am your Big sister's boyfriend and also her future husband."
"Big brother, did you fight with Uncle Eddie?" Zak looked excited for some reason.
"Yes. Not just did I fight with him, but I also defeated your Uncle." Even Aditya himself was feeling a little proud of his accomplishment. He beat someone who was 2 orders above him. Something which is normally impossible to accomplish.
"Big brother, can you please show me some magic?"
"What kind of Magic?"
"I want to see those red Crimson flames. They looked so beautiful."
"Alright. But careful." With a snap of his finger, a fist size orb of crimson flame appeared 2 meters away from Aditya. He purposely lowered the temperature of the flame so that Zak wouldn't be harmed in any way.
After playing with Zak for a few minutes, Aditya couldn't help but ask. "Zak, do you know where your grandfather is? Have you ever met him?" Aditya asked curiously as neither Sophie nor Adam mentioned anything about their parents.
"I heard that my grandfather died while fighting the bad guys. As for my grandmother, I heard that she is in seclusion." Zak replied while chasing after the small wisps of crimson flames.
"Have you ever met your grandpa?"
"Nope. I only heard about her from my mother."
I have some internet issues so I will upload only one chapter today.
