Chapter 127 Arriving At The Capital

nSince they were in a public place Aster removed his hands from Alice’s ass but he still kept his arm wrapped around her waist, in any case he already told both Sarina and her father that he had more than one lover and if he was going to try anything with Sarina, he was going to need to explain how close he was with both Lilia and Alice anyway.
n“I will cross that bridge when the time comes”, he thought.
nWhile Aster was outside contemplating the night sky with Alice, Sarina was now dealing with a little situation… Kana actually heard her mother and Aster talking, she woke up in the precise moment when Sarina was undressing but she faked to be sleeping, since both Sarina and Aster were focusing their attention in other things, they didn’t notice the slightly open pair of curious eyes looking at them.
nOnce Aster closed the door she suddenly “woke up” and spoke with her mother.
n“Mom, is dad the bad guy?”, she asked.
nSarina sighed, “Robert you are going to pay for this”, she thought before answering.
n“Seeing that confused expression you have, I guess you spied on me and your big brother’s conversation, right?”.
nKana nodded.
n“Yes… I woke up when you were preparing for the treatment”.
nSarina blushed a bit remembering the embarrassing things she did and say before, but she shook her head to recover her composure, she placed her hands in her daughter’s shoulders and looked at her directly.
n“Spying on others is not good but… yes, he has joined the bad guys and some of the people we know have died because of that, so your grandfather, me and your big brother need to stop him or many people is going to suffer”.
nShe felt her daughter’s little body trembling a bit, and she understood why, parents are the world for a child and although Kana wasn’t so young anymore, she was still shocked when her mother confirmed that her father was a bad person.
nShe doubted for a second before asking in a low broken voice.
n“W-who died?”.
nSarina patted her back.
n“Let’s not think on that, ok?”, she answered but contrary to what she expected, Kana insisted on getting an answer.
n“Please tell me, uncle Marco has told me quite a few times I’m too innocent, but even I understand that bad people need to be stopped!!!”.
nKana’s eyes got teary while she was speaking, on past years her mother has told her to always be wary when she had to visit her father, but she thought it had something to do with the fact that Robert has been going around with some other women while his “wife” was bedridden, which of course she as Sarina’s daughter didn’t see with good eyes but reality was crueler than what she expected.
nSarina wiped her daughter’s eyes a couple of times while she explained.
n“Both, your big sister Hellen and Andrea have left us… Aster and Alice would have had the same end if not for him being stronger than what the bad guys expected”.
nKana cried a bit remembering the two guards that have been protecting her mother for such a long time, before she was affected by corruption those two used to often play with her when she was little, Hellen always gave her a gift on her birthdays since she was a baby, while Andrea baked a cake for her party every time.
nKnowing that she would never be able to play or talk with them anymore made her feel sad and the fact that they were harmed by the people to whom her father joined just made it worse.
nSarina felt her heart breaking seeing her daughter suffering but unfortunately it was needed for her to know the truth, the modus operandi of the Riga continent spies was to manipulate others and she didn’t want them to take advantage of Kana’s doubts, that’s why she had to make things clear at once.
n“Once we reach the capital everything will come to light, you will stay with your big brother Aster… he will protect you, while I will get the answers you need directly from that guy’s mouth”.
nKana nodded without saying anything, she just hugged her mother and stayed like that until they heard Sylas’s talking to them from outside of the room.
n“Sarina, we are here, in a couple of minutes we will be arriving at the royal palace so prepare yourself”.
n“Okay, I will be there in a moment… Kana has woken up”, she answered.
nAster who was next to Sylas outside the room, had a serious expression, from this point and until they dealt with the situation he needed to be on full alert, Sylas patted his shoulder.
n“Don’t worry kid, I have fought with those cowards so many times before that I can already predict their moves, but this time we have the surprise element on our side, just focus on protecting Kana and leave the rest to me and Sarina”.
nAster nodded and Sylas sent a message through his communication talisman before returning to the captain’s cabin.
nSeeing her brother’s fierce expression, Alice rubbed her face against his to comfort him.
n“It will be fine, this time I will also join in the fun, mom’s training is far worse than any trap those guys could have prepared beforehand anyway”.
nListening to his sister’s words, Aster’s expression returned to his usual relaxed one.
n“You are right, eventually we have to face dangers, you are my sister so I know you won’t lose to anyone… just be careful, okay?”.
nAlice smiled and pressed her lips against her brother’s.
n“I have you as my back up, we are both siblings and lovers so we won’t lose to anyone ♥”.
nAster returned the kiss but he separated from Alice when he saw that the space ship was not moving anymore, they were quite high and the sky was clouded so no one could see them from below, almost immediately Sarina appeared besides them with Kana holding her hand.
nAster could still see some remains of little tears in her eyes and he tried to cheer her up, he created a small wisp of Rigel’s flame and made it take the form of a bird which flew and stood in her right shoulder.
nHis little plan worked; he saw Kana smile a bit before she started playing with the flame bird.
nSarina saw her daughter cheering up and she smiled at Aster, which didn’t pass unnoticed by Alice, fortunately for him Sylas’s voice caught their attention.
n“I have spoken with Orson, we are right above the palace and he has opened a little entrance on the defensive spirit formation, a camouflaged transporting ship is coming for us right now”.
nNot even a couple of seconds passed when they saw a mini version of a space ship appearing besides them, it was small compared to space ships, since it was used for exploration and to only move in the planet without leaving the atmosphere.
nThe door of the exploration ship opened and a soldier wearing a green armor greeted them.
n“By the king’s petition I have come to receive lord Eik and his companions please follow me”, said the soldier.
nThere was no time to waste so all of them went up the space ship, unlike the ones Aster has been in before this one only had a row of seats for the passengers and one separated seat for the driver.
nWhile the ship descended to the castle Sylas told some basic information to Aster since he knew he was not a native of Prasil.
n“The capital is called Corylus and we are about to see the king Orson Millefiore… Robert’s younger cousin, the castle is full of spirit formations, however I who used to be the tutor of Orson were bestowed with a copy of the castle’s master key by the former king who was my friend”.
nAster frowned his eyebrows a bit, but he immediately relaxed, “if that king tries anything funny, I can always vanish the whole castle”, he thought.
nThe exploration ship landed and the soldier opened the door for them, the first one to go down was Sylas followed by Sarina and lastly Aster who was standing in front of Alice and Kana.
nSylas opened the door in front of them and they all saw a corridor, it was similar to the ones in Isaac’s castle back in the Azure sky planet, they all entered and after walking for roughly five minutes they entered the throne room, where the king was waiting for them.
nContrary to what Aster expected the king wasn’t sitting in the throne, instead he walking in circles near the entrance of the room, when the king noticed Sylas and the others entering, he immediately spoke while he extended his arm to offer a handshake.
n“Uncle Sylas, it’s good to see you safely arrived at the capit…”.
nWithout waiting for the king to finish speaking Sylas kicked his ass which made the king scream, since he was wearing a full body armor which included some metal protections in his boots.
n“Ouch!!! Uncle why did you kick me?”.
nSylas didn’t answer him, instead he kicked him a second time which sent the king flying to the other side of the room.
nSylas approached Orson who was trying to stand up and grabbed his arm while he dragged him through the floor until they entered a room destined to be used for strategical reunions, he threw the poor king over a chair before sitting down.
nSarina sighed seeing the whole thing, while Alice and Kana were amused by the situation and Aster couldn’t help but think, “this old man is quite crazy”.
nThe king accommodated on the chair, he dusted off his clothes but before he could say anything Sylas finally spoke to him.
n“Those two kicks were because my daughter and my granddaughter were in danger because your stupid cousin, if your father were to see that those pieces of trash from the Riga continent had infiltrated the capital, he would cut off your three legs”.
n(In case you guys don’t understand the expression, his three legs are his legs and his dick XD)
nOrson had an aggrieved expression.
n“Come on uncle, how can I keep my face as a king or uncle when you beat me up in front of two youngsters and little Kana”, he said.
nThe king sighed, “he has always been like that… whatever we have something more important to discuss”, he thought.
nSylas has explained him, that two people from another planet had tagged along so he needed to present himself.
n“For those who don’t know me, my name is Orson Millefiore, the current king of the Luonto continent, it’s a pleasure”, he said while looking at Aster.
