"Quo Non Ascendam"

_______________________

The news of the Obelian emperor had fallen ill, did not shock Adrastos at all as he only just hum in response.

"I am definitely not that surprised... Considering that black fuck inside of him ever since that harlot came in his life" He only reply making the guy beside him sigh

"And here i thought you'll be surprised and crestfallen about this... Didn't change your plan huh" Kyrell muttered as he took a deep sigh

"Just like you didn't betray that old man, even have the audacity to shout and insult me" Adrastos teased the latter making Kyrell grumble

"I thought we were past that Adrastos!" Kyrell complained making Adrastos look at him with amusement

"Of course we were, I just find it amusing everytime you act like a child because of that"

Kyrell could only sigh in disagreement but soon look at Adrastos in his eyes

"Are you planning to visit your sweet old man?"

"I'll think about it... I might not contain myself and I'll immediately kill him while he is on a coma" Adrastos straightforwardly announce

"Calm your shit Ady and where's that bastard who were alwats by your side?"

"You mean Khaos? I gave him a task and I'm assuming he'll be back soon its not a difficult task anyway" Adrastos nonchalantly said while humming

"That guy, always sticks to you like a lovesick puppy"

"He does" Was all the Crown prince response while chuckling at the image of Khaos

Night came, however, Adrastos have been thinking of visiting the emperor of Obelia

Within the blink of an eye, he was already on Claude's chamber while concealing his mana and his presence as he look at the pale look on his father. No emotions was evident on his face

"This may be your karma already... It didn't even took that long for you to reap what you sow" Adrastos spouted while glaring at the man in front of him

Adrastos slowly put his hand on Claude's neck as he grip it tightly while noticing a small twitch of the latter's body but soon he let him go while raising both of his hand and chuckled

"Even if i want to end you right now... I don't want to ruin my plan just for this" He muttered turning around walkin over the window of his father's chamber

He look at the sleeping figure one last time with hard gaze before teleporting to his own room

"It looks like you decided to visit your father" Lixieng said smiling at him

"I just went out to check if he is dying or not, if he did then my plan will just go to waste" Adrastos said looking away making rhe Archon in front of him laugh

"You don't have to pretend Adrastos, I am well aware of your grudge on your father and i know that you still care for him even a riny bit" Lixieng stated in a matter of fact tone making Adrastos silent

"I understand that very well Adrastos" Lixieng said comforting him

"Should ijust destroy Obelia?" Adrastos muttered out of nowhere making Lixieng stood in his place not knowing how to react

"Isn't that your birth place? Wouldn't that be destroying half of your memories"

"The memories full of sorrow and hopelessness. I want to bury my suffering and pain deeper than what I'm currently doing" Was what Adrastos could give him making Lixieng just hum in acknowledgement

"If that's what you want, then that's what you get. I already told you, I'll be supporting your decisions throughout the end"

Adrastos could only look at his father figure with gratefulness and comforting gaze then looking in the sky slowly closing his eyes to relax himself from the comforting silence of night.

'Should i really?..."
