He walked towards the door, His mind going blank., his eyes were red. His body was enraged by the decision he just made.
He controlled his anger with a big sigh and went home with an aching heart.
Oliver returned home and told Amara about the incident, Oliver,
"Baby, You acted maturely and took the right decision. That bastard Blackbeard doesn't want to see Ignatius progress. You know, that sucks, but I received some news, a letter from the Central League. It said that The Harizamas are now under League's supervision, and you know that nobody can harm us now. We the Harizama are declared Legendary types of blood. Even Blackbeard can't afford to kill legendary blood that is under the Central League (THE TRIBUNAL)'s eyes. He can just slow our progress by pulling different strings. He can't go any further. ". Amara's eyes moistened as she completed.
"But how did they... Why.. but," Oliver was in a deep ocean of confusion,
"HAHA, babe you don't have to be confused, You know it's father's work. His achievements were exceptional when his blood was taken for a test by The Central league, they were amazed by seeing blood's magic potential, So they declared it."
"Can't he send some assassin?"
"Of course, he can, but with the Central League with us, He can't even touch our hair. They have sent some talismans. We have to use that talisman. This will protect us from sudden lethal damage by teleporting us to the nearest Central League Headquarters."
"Oh, then should I return this ring, he can't do anything even if we don't obey him. HAHA."
"No honey, you are wrong. The league's protection only guarantees our life not how we live. Our Ignatius will have to suffer a lot if we reject his order, If we have to live here peacefully we will have to obey him or things will get difficult for us. It is hard but Ignatius will have to struggle for a lot of years to get a good life. If we accept his order then Ignatius will be given a generla's Ranking like you. But if we reject his orders, Our Ignatius will never be accepted in the army, and he will have to live an ordinary life."
Amara walked near Oliver and put her hands on his shoulders. She then rolled her arms around his left arm and landed her hand on his shoulders. Oliver said,
"OH, so you are saying we will let our son be behind others on that bastard's order? HUH? Let Him struggle. He can live an ordinary life, he doesn't need to suffer whole 18 years of struggle just to Live the rest Easily, and Being a general is a hard job."
"Don't be like that Oliver, I thought before saying anything. If you don't obey him he will exile and ban us from everything, we will not get shelter anywhere as well. even if we decide to migrate he would send his troops to emotionally and verbally damage us as he can't kill us. "
"Then, We will travel to another kingdom," Oliver said with confidence on his face.
"You are so innocent Oliver, You are very naive and that makes you so adorable. For your question I have a question Too, How will we travel to the different kingdoms?"
"Oh that is simple, We will use teleport gates."
"But we will be banned na, We will be banned from there as well."
"Oh, I didn't think about that. We can sneak out."
"Sneak out and go where? He will put an excuse in front of the league that he wants to take care of us so we will have to stay in the Heindem Empire. Only if you Join the league and rise in rank then the league will hear us."
"How did you become the strongest general, if you are so naive?"
"The fact is that I am dumb at making decisions for my life. I am very wise on the battlefield but if we talk about Family I am not good. I lived with my depressed grandparents. They rarely spent time with me. I was always busy planning for future battles. That is why I want my son to enjoy his life as much as he can. I want to provide him with everything I couldn't get. You know I sometimes make good decisions, and I think I made one when I married you."
Amara blushed and walked away towards Ignatius,
"Baby we have no choice, but to put on the ring, "
"Oh. Oh, baby, It tears my heart to see our little one making such a big sacrifice for us. I BELIEVE IN YOU MY SON I WANT YOU TO BECOME SO POWERFUL THAT HUNDREDS OF BLACKBEARD WOULD BE POWERLESS IN FRONT OF YOU." Amara's words filled the whole mansion with a motherly aura.
"Amara, Yo..you are "
Amara turned and was surprised,
"Gasp, what happened Oliver why are you crying? "
"It.. just that I never saw my mother, she died the moment I was born. But today seeing your love for Ignatius. I felt the power of my mother's love, I felt a warmth imagining my mother. If she would have survived, would she have loved me this much?" Oliver cried with happiness and he hugged Amara.
" I want to keep hugging you. But let me put on the ring."
She grabbed his hand and put on the ring. As soon as she put the ring, reddish dust emerged from within Ignatius' arms, the glowing bracelet sucked it all.
"Mamma...." Ignatius started crying...
Amara hugged him and calmed him down.
Amara used the talisman and a symbol appeared on everyone's wrist.
Eve suddenly came running, with a sense of fear on her face,
"Awasra, I have bad news! The Eleanor troops are here. They are searching everywhere for me. If they found out that Oliver is hiding me then.....I Don't know what would happen. My sister is blinded by the powers, She will attack Heindem and..." Eve's voice trembled.
Amara and Oliver's faces were turned to stone,
"A war will occur, I know this war will lead to the destruction of Eleanor, Heindem has the support of the League. So, if the war broke out then Eleanor will be crippled. Millions will lose their life. Millions of innocents will die. As the Queen of the Eleanor, I can't let that happen. I have to flee now or else the consequences will be unimaginable. I am here to say goodbye to you. My home is broken and I can't let you get into it."
Amara was out of words, Oliver somehow managed to stay sane and said, "Where will you flee? It's not like Your sister will give up. It's Pointless. "
"I know I will run as long as they can't catch me. I can't afford to let you all get hurt because of me Please take care of my daughter until she grows up and ple....please protect her." Eve's eyes were raining with tears.
"I don't know why the fuck is wrong with my fate. Why did I even bother to live when my husband died, why did I even bother to live when my whole family was slayed by my sister, why did I even bother to live when my kingdom was taken over, when my people needed me I am here fucking running away when others need. I was better off dead. Nothing is in my control, everything is against me, I have only you who supports me and I can't let you werefer.".
"That's all, HUH? You.... are so...weak, giving up so easily. When you came here and rescued me I thought you are one of the strongest women but... You fucking disappointed me. I don't understand how can you give up so easily, didn't you learn to fight." Oliver moved forward.
" But You don't have to run forever. Guess, I will have to do something." Oliver stepped forward as his body started glowing in bluish color, sending off small lighting strings. His eyes were shining with blue lighting. His hair swung upwards as the sparks from his body went into the ground.
He said,
"Your sister's army is here."
Suddenly there was a knock on the main door,
"It's the Eleanor army, Sir Oliver we are here in search of a traitor of our kingdom. We don't want to search your house but it's our Queen's order so please let us check." The leader of the group screamed and waited for a few seconds.
The Maid of the house, Lily went near the door, Suddenlwas voice echoed in her head,
"Lily, Don't let them enter the house its an order from me. Try to keep them away. "
Lily got surprised after hearing the words, she noticed the voice was similar to Oliver's. Without thinking much She decided to follow the orders.
She opened the door. The leader was there.
"Dear lady we are here to search the house."
"Do you know whose house is this? " Lily tried not to get nervous.
"Yes, But we need to search."
"You dare to think that the strongest General of the Kingdom will house a traitor. Is this the respect you have?"
"We are sorry miss but we have to search. Please get aside and let us search. If you dare to interfere then that will be a crime."
"Oh, how dare you scare me. I am not letting you g.."
*SMACK*
The leader slammed the maid into the walls.
"I think something is wrong. Hurry up and check this place."
"No. You can't "
*THUMP*
The leader crushed the maid's head.
Back in Oliver's room, Oliver's body was glowing.
He lifted his hand aiming at the door, His glowing increased. Objects started floating.
"No Oli..."
"I not going to leave you on your own. "
*SWOOP*
Eve closed her eyes, she was thinking about what she had done. She could have escaped silently. She cursed herself for coming here only to ruin his friends' lives.
Eve opened her eyes, and realized Oliver didn't attack the soldiers, he cast some kind of spell.
"Hurry up, They will be here soon. This portal will take you to the Runic Realm. You can stay there. Until the search is over." Oliver said with a smile.
"But.. Isn't it impossible to go in the Runic realm? How.."
Oliver interrupted and pushed Eve inside the portal. This happened so quickly that Amara was not able to understand. She was standing there trying to understand what Eve said. Amara took some time to react to what Eve said.
The portal closed after Eve passed. Oliver turned towards Amara and walked near her. She was confused as well. Everything that happened was too fast. His son's power was sealed and his friend is now struggling for a decent life.
As Oliver was thinking,
*BOM*
The door got blasted, sending Amara and Ignatius in the air while something engulfed Oliver from behind.
It dragged Oliver and threw him into the garden. Oliver crashed and bounced a couple of times before raising his head. A group of 8 soldiers is standing in front of Oliver while His family is up in the air.
