*Flap* *Flap* *Flap*
2 Bats flew inside a lavish room and turned into humanoid figures, the servants who were hiding inside the room widened their eyes in surprise when they noticed the man who was with their lord.
The 4 servants quickly revealed their locations and instantly kneeled on the ground with their heads bowed,
"Your Highness."
They greeted.
Alaric just nodded with a smile.
His gentle face gave off an approachable vibe.
"Call Lady Ambrosia, Melia, and Nux,
Tell them that His Royal Highness is here to see them."
Orpheus spoke.
"As you command, Lord Orpheus."
The servants nodded and then, they disappeared.
Alaric glanced at Orpheus and smiled meaningfully.
"This is the second time you protected him now."
Orpheus didn't react.
"So you finally decided to show yourself!"
2 minutes later, the door of the room burst open and a woman with long white hair walked in with a slightly angry look on her face.
"Ambrosia." Seeing the woman, Alaric smiled gently and greeted her.
"Who invited you, huh? Go back, you are only allowed here as the King of the Blood Kingdom, and a King can only visit a Duke's House after a proper announcement, you can't just barge into our house like thi-"
Before Ambrosia could complete her sentence, Alaric suddenly appeared right in front of her and hugged him.
Ambrosia or Orpheus couldn't even react to his movement, as for Alaric, he just hugged his sister with a loving smile on his face.
"Oi Oi! Don't hug me like that! Stay awa-"
"I missed you, Sister."
Alaric spoke in an earnest sister.
Ambrosia paused for a second, however, soon, she placed her hand on Alaric's head and tried to push him again,
"I get it, I get it, now move away! I won't forgive you this easily!"
"Ambrosia, you can't stay mad at your big brother for such a long time."
"You forgot my Centuria!"
"I didn't forget it, I was busy. There was somewhere I needed to be!"
"Uh huh? Sure, the strongest being on the continent had somewhere to be, so much so that he couldn't even visit his sister for 5 minutes.
I am not a fool, brother. I may not look like it, but nothing major that required your attention happened around that time."
"Do you really think I would forget my sister's birthday?"
"Why do you think I am angry? I did not expect this from you."
"I wished you the moment I returned, I didn't forget it."
"Sister Iliana must have told you, don't treat me like a fool."
In the end, Alaric just turned toward his only savior,
"Orpheus, help me. Tell her that I was summoned!"
"You are the one who summons others, not the other way around. Who could possibly summon you?"
Ambrosia questioned.
"…"
Alaric turned silent.
Seeing this, Orpheus knew that he had to intervene,
"Darling, you need to be the bigger person here. You can't possibly stay mad at your brother for such a long time, can you? Look, you aren't even pushing him away now."
Ambrosia finally realized that Alaric was still hugging her and she started pushing him away,
"Go away! You damn! Why are you so strong!!"
Ambrosia cried, as for Alaric, he didn't even budge.
The scene looked quite comical, no one would believe that the characters of this scene were all thousands of years old.
Just like how Melia, Nux, and his wives… who were seeing everything from outside the room could not believe what they were seeing...
Honestly, they had prepared themselves, especially Nux and his wives, they were about to meet the King of the Blood Kingdom, after all.
They were going to meet the strongest existence in the entire blood continent, it needed a ton of mental preparation for that…
However, the moment they reached here…
They all froze.
The door was already opened and a white-haired man, who was most probably the King of the Blood Kingdom was hugging Melia's mother, while she was trying to push him away.
"Ahem Ahem"
*Knock* *Knock*
Melia finally knocked on the door and announced her entrance.
Alaric finally noticed Melia and the others who were standing in front of him and moved away.
Ambrosia turned around and noticed them as well.
She blushed in embarrassment, and seeing that expression, Nux gulped.
The woman who always had that playful smile and that charming confidence… a woman like Ambrosia Bloodheart was blushing in front of him…
It was a sight he could never forget.
"You are here."
Orpheus called out.
"Uncle."
Melia greeted as she walked into the room and hugged Alaric with a small smile on her face.
Nux and his wives, on the other hand, bowed their heads,
"Your Highness."
Seeing them, Alaric, who was hugging his niece frowned and questioned,
"Who are they?"
"That man is the leader of the Melia's Clan, Nux Leander and those beautiful women behind him are his wives."
"He is a human…" Alaric muttered.
"That is correct."
Orpheus nodded.
Alaric then glanced at Nux, Nux felt a suppressive force that made it hard for him to breathe, he looked back and seeing the curious expression on Alaric's face, he knew this man wasn't doing it intentionally, it was an involuntary action.
His gaze was just that powerful…
"A Complete Cultivator, huh."
Alaric muttered with a small smile on his face.
"Now I can see what Melia saw in him."
He then looked into Nux's golden eyes, Nux felt like his body moved on its own, his head lifted up and his eyes looked back into Alaric's eyes.
Then suddenly, Nux realized that he was in a completely different place. He was standing on a red-colored liquid that was most probably blood.
He looked around and noticed that he was in a huge place that seemed to have no end and there was blood flowing all over the place.
*Step* *Step*
Nux stepped back, this movement was louder than normal since he was stepping on the Blood.
Nux tried contacting his wives, however, he realized that he couldn't access the telepathic connection right now.
"Are you their student, human?"
Suddenly, Nux heard a question.
