Two months went by and there was not a single day that the twins toned down their training, they went as far as increasing the number of sword swings to 1000 after a month.
Standing in the middle of the training ground, bare chested Keiran looked ahead while holding a sword with both hands. Sweat traced down on his bare torso as if tracing each of the muscles of his body.
He has already lost all of his baby fat and now there was nothing but a well defined body with muscles and good fat.
With stable posture he kept swinging his sword vertically while Luna on the side looked at him with stars in her eyes. There was no way she would get tired of looking at her beloved.
"You need to train as well, you can stare at him later."
These words made her look at the red haired boy who was a little far away from her concentrating on his own sword training.
With a deep motivation of not being left behind by his brother Aiden kept on Swinging with his sheer willpower.
In the middle of his swings he felt something and moved away from his place and he saw a sword deep embedded in the ground where he was standing once, looking at the wooden sword so deep in the ground, he gulped at the sheer amount of force behind it.
He turned to see something that made sweat roll down his back. He saw Luna looking at him with a smiling face with her eyes closed.
"You were saying something little brother? You would need a sparring partner today too right? I will be bea- Ahem I mean I will be spar with you today "
Aiden's back was now drenched in sweat and the training was not the reason. His face twitched as he forced himself to not run away. He looked at his mother for help but she was deep in her meditation while looking at the flowers.
She was definitely not ignoring his gaze.
" My throat is parched. I think I will get some water."
Aiden turned around to leave but he felt a strong grip on his shoulder that held him in his place. If he was allowed to use his power he would have have in a flash but now he knew he fucked up.
He looked at the foggy sky with emotionless dead eyes while the girl dragged him by his shoulder with a smile.
"Don't worry I will go easy on you."
Hearing those words Aiden's body trembled as he remembered the time when they were younger and she used to say this whenever she wanted to bully him and she would do the opposite and beat him black and blue.
Looking at their interaction from the corner of his eyes Keiran smiled and spoke.
" They seem to be getting along like before."
"..."
[.....]
Seraphina's lips twitch as she thought ' how the fuck is that getting along?'
She looked at the dead eyes of her son and then looked at the playful smile on the girl's face.
Her eyes caught a sign of relief in the girl's eyes. As soon as she saw that she understood why the boy spoke like that just now.
They were about to continue but a sudden presence appearing in the area halted their
Actions as they turned to look at the newly arrived guard.
The guard ignored the kids and kneeled in front of the queen and spoke with a professional and firm tone.
"Your highness, your majesty, the king has summoned you all."
After speaking, the guard kept kneeling and waited for her reply.
" You can go back"
The guard hearing her words left the area without looking back.
She looked at the kids and continued
" You can stop here for now, we are called by
The king."
The sarcasm in her tone was not even hidden as a smirk graced the twins' face. While Aiden was thanking whoever was responsible for interrupting them.
His happiness was short lived as he heard.
" We will spar after this, don't think that this will save you from me."
His eyes lost life once more as he followed the trio like a broken puppet making their way towards the throne room.
.
In the throne room Arion was sitting deep in thought, his face had a serious look on it as he gazed at the holographic image of the border area of the kingdom.
Beside him Erla looked at the same thing with no particular emotions in her eyes. The last person in the room was the emperor's trusted advisor.
He noticed the new presence arriving in the room and looked towards the gate.
Seeing his wife entering with his kids did not bring any change to his face. Shifting his gaze towards the little kids his eyes gleamed with calculative glint.
This look was so well hidden that only the twins could see it with their eyes.
While he was scanning them the twins were also doing the same and their gaze stopped at the hollowgram in the middle of the room.
They saw that it was being displayed using a circular disk that was placed on the ground.
" Since everyone is here, let me say this in a straightforward manner."
He paused as he gazed through everyone present while continuing as if declaring something severe.
" A Red Wave is coming!"
Hearing this exclamation everyone except Thorne and Aiden was shocked.
Thorne knew it beforehand due to his position, while Aiden was just clueless to what the Red Wave was.
Looking at the puzzled expression of the boy Keiran decided to explain.
"Do you know about the beast that attacks the wall every now and then?"
Seeing the boy nodding in confirmation he continued.
"They attack as a group which we call waves. These waves are divided in four categories"
He paused, giving him the time to absorb the knowledge before continuing.
" There is White, Yellow, Red and lastly the Black wave.
The white wave where only 100-500 monsters attack on the Kingdom.
The yellow wave is when 500-1000 monsters attack at the same time.
The Red Wave is when 1000-5000 monsters attack at the same time.
They might not be very powerful but their sheer number is the problem.
There have been only two Red waves since the kingdom was founded. "
Hearing this explanation the rest nodded in agreement. This explanation was the simple knowledge they have gained from the books in the library.
Aiden was shocked hearing the number of beasts that will attack the kingdom.
He was also surprised to hear that there have already been two attacks of such intensity on the kingdom.
He was curious about why they did not explain about the Black wave so he decided to ask out.
"What about the black wave?"
His words caused Erla and Seraphina to tremble a little before they composed their expression and Arion's eves turned cold.
This change was for a split second that normal people could not even see but the twins saw it.
Let alone the fact that their aira was clearly showing their feelings.
"Black Wave is a ….."
