Chapter 28 - Chapter 28 - Candle in the Center of a Storm

Return to the Lumina Kingdom.

The strange behavior of Prince Xly astounded the Four Princesses and their children.

30 minutes ago

"You little beast, don't come near me!" Prince Xly stated, and it was clear from his expression that he was terrified of his child who was rushing towards him.

"Is this a new game, Father?" Claire inquired.

Xeon leaps towards his father and tackles him. Even Xeon appears to be a small and cute little boy. He was, however, unreliable strong for his size.

And the boys embrace their father, while the rest of the girls laugh and join in on the fun.

The process astounded the four princesses. The kids thought their father was faking it, but the fear in Prince Xly was real, thanks to the Four Princesses' eyes.

Prince Xly was at a loss for words. He knows it was his children. He is well aware that he adored them.

And his memories of the other version of himself are still fresh in his mind.

Sadly he had trauma with kids. He accidentally injured one of his eldest sons.

His first son died as a result of him. It was an accident that occurred before the activation of his curse.

That young man is Xeon's twin brother. He was given the name Xly Night II.

In Prince Xly's secret house, his sons Xly II and Xeon were playing with their mother.

They are attacked by a Dragon. He was too preoccupied to fight for his son and wife's safety.

They overlooked the fact that it was not only paired with adult dragons but also had children. It preys on mothers and children.

It caused harm to Xyl II and his wife. It sets off his curse.

He kills all of the dragons that attack them. But his cursed leak with his wife curses his wife's health issue, causing her to die a few years later.

The tragedy was that Xly II died after only one month due to the curse.

The fact that Xeon was able to survive the curse was the only thing that kept Prince Xly from being consumed by the curse.

It all came down to a cause. It was the main reason Xeon appeared younger than his true age, as well as his mind.

The curse was intended to turn the target of the curse into a Succubus. When the curse flares up, the residual effect on those around him is too random demonization.

Since then, Prince Xly has been afraid of injuring or harming his child and loved ones.

Years had passed, and he was still looking for a way to break his curse.

***

ROAR!

BOOM!

"NO!"

"This is impossible!"

Prince Xly had been drenched in blood. He was taken aback when he saw his wife and sons' bodies rotting in front of him.

"Why!"

He was enraged. He felt as if he were losing himself.

He has no idea why this happened.

After that, Prince Xly was completely enveloped in darkness.

The first thing he moment he open his eyes he realized it was a nightmare.

A memory of the past. The one he tried his best to fix.

"F*ck this curse!" Prince Xly cursed

He tried to keep his emotions under control. He was able to play and enter act with his children after remembering his other-self.

That made him relax and smile.

"At least after many years, I thought I'd never have the courage to meet them again," Prince Xly thought to himself.

When he notices the same footsteps, the door unexpectedly opens.

Claire and Celine, his twin, run and jump towards him on the bed.

The twins called out, "Father," with a big smile on their faces.

Flex was standing in the corner with Dev. June and Xeon were discussing what was wrong with their father once more.

Flex, with puppy eyes, said, "Father, we're hungry."

"Yes, Father is late," Dev said, trying to appear mature.

June simply smiles, knowing that his sibling enjoys their father's cooking.

This time, Prince Xly understands how difficult it is to control his emotions around his own children. Fear that he will be able to control his curse.

He even wonders if he, as a demon, deserves to be loved and cared for. In previous years, he had not been a particularly good father.

All he did was try to undo a curse brought on by his own father.

That heartless father. He complains to himself.

What used to being strong but you can't even take care and live with the people he cared for.

Prince Xly was preparing breakfast for the children. Then came the arrival of the Four Princesses.

Princess Julia approaches Prince Xly and inquires, "What is the matter?"

"Let us talk later, inform them, and don't tell the kids," Prince Xly said.

"Don't let us know about it?" Xeon asks his father.

"Xeon, look after your younger siblings, and let's talk later," Prince Xly said, a sad smile on his face.

Xeon notices that his father is both sad and angry.

Princess Julia was stunned by what had just occurred, and she was correct to question Prince Xly about it. But Xeon intervenes.

Xeon stated, "Father said later."

"It appears that father is remembering and regaining his main personality," Xeon observed.

"I'm not sure whether it was good or bad." In his mind, Xeon remarked.

Seeing his younger siblings happily consuming the food prepared by their father.

It was simply difficult to connect an assassin who kills people for profit or even for fun. Here, I'm cooking and making desserts.

The four princesses notice something that the children do not. Last seven days, Prince Xly was more like a sunflower, warm and kind.

This Prince Xly was more akin to a candle in the middle of a storm. Prince Xly's smile was sweet and gentle, but his eyes were filled with sadness.

They had no idea Xeon had noticed it as well.

After their meal, the young prince and princess were sent to their school. Xeon, on the other hand, stays behind and follows the Four Princess into Prince Xly's chambers.

"Father" Xeon said

"The curse has not yet been lifted. I'm still trying to figure it out." Prince Xly has made an announcement.

"We thought the curse had already been broken," Princess Claudia explained.

"Unfortunately, no, it is only temporary, remember." "That version of me doesn't even have all of my memories," Princes Xly explained.

"However, it was closer to your original father personally, Xeon stated

The four Princesses looked at each other, perplexed.

Prince Xly smiles and pats Xeon on the back.

"It's a shame your twin brother, as your mother, isn't here," Prince Xly said.

"It was not your fault, Father," Xeon said.

"I understand, but what is lost cannot be recovered," Prince Xly said.

"Twins?"

Princess Julia inquires

"Yes, I had a twin brother, Xly Night II, who was older than me," Xeon said with a complicated smile on his face.

The four Princesses attempted to enquire further, but it appeared that the father and son had no intention of saying anything further on the subject.

It was not a meeting, and there was no conversation at all.

Prince Xly simply informs the Four Princesses that he will be departing. He'll go on some missions and look for a cure for his curse.

He then reminds Xeon to look after himself and his siblings.
