"Young master, we have arrived," Luna stated as they reached a giant iron entrance. She had a smile on her face, which didn't escape André notice, but he didn't care as he guessed why she was smiling. As they entered inside, André saw an extensive training field, meticulously designed for various forms of combat training. The field was equipped with different sections for hand-to-hand combat, weapons training, and agility courses. It was surrounded by tall, sturdy walls, with the ground made of a resilient material that could withstand intense physical activity.
Not long after they stepped inside, they saw Daenerys and Madelyn approaching. Madelyn had a weird expression, while her big sister seemed to be pleased. Seeing the two sisters in this state, Luna wondered what had happened and seemed lost in thought, while André was mesmerized by the beautiful view. The tight black training clothes covered their curvy figures, and their large breasts were visible through their suits.
"Lady Daenerys, Lady Madelyn," Luna greeted them, bringing them back to their senses. It was an important day for them, and their expressions changed back to serious and stern. They nodded and shifted their gaze to André.
"As we said before, Today we will start your training" Daenerys spoke with a firm voice. Even though their family was an assassin family, they didn't know whether André would be able to possess the shadow affinity or not. Also, apart from that, he must know combat skills like everyone, so whether he has a shadow affinity or not, he would start with the same training.
"But before we start sparring, we will start training your body: Stretching your every single muscle, balancing your body, and lastly, getting you used to enduring pain. After your body improves to a good extent maybe in a few weeks. then we will start sparring. " Madelyn finished her sister's sentence with cold voice.
The two weren't like their normal selves; they were completely focused and looked at André with sharp gazes. Was this their true face? André found it good, actually. He was pleased looking at their serious expressions.
In response, André only nodded. It was a good initial training before the combat training. His body needed to move as he wanted, should be flexiblee, maintain balance during fights, and withstand pain from any injuries or damage during battle.
Of course, their training methods weren't easy like ordinary people. It was completely the opposite. Luna knew this well which made her smile so much time today.
Seeing the trio moving to the stretching area, she got shivers down her spine as she remembered the pain from her first time. The artifact that would stretch André's muscles was evil. She felt her muscles ache a little with just approaching.
Before they started, Madelyn felt a little hesitant. She didn't want to hurt André, as it would make her feel even more pain emotionally. But seeing her big sister nod, she sighed. She knew this was just training and they shouldn't hinder his progress with their feelings. Not long after, they started using the artifact to stretch every single muscle in André's body. It was a really effective artifact but also as expensive as it was convenient.
"Agggghhhhh!!" "Ugggggghhh,"
André groaned internally, struggling to keep his composure.
'That's right, that's your punishment for your sinful acts. Don't worry, this artifact won't ki-' Luna's thoughts were cut off as she heard the sisters gasp in shock. The screams of pain disappeared instantly, and she realized they were just hallucinations.
Luna's smile disappeared as she saw André in his current condition. She shook her head and blinked again. André looked completely normal as if he didn't feel any pain. 'FUCK!! It's been too long to bear this kind of pain, but I have to endure it, to grow stronger so I can have my revenge.' André cursed inwardly, screaming in pain in his mind. He couldn't scream out loud; there was no way. He must keep his pride. He didn't care that the trio would be utterly shocked and amazed, but he didn't want to scream. It was his personality, he didn't want to act. He never acted toward the trio except in situations where he had to.
Meanwhile, Luna was trying to understand what was going on, and the sisters looked at each other and smiled. They were happy that André was extraordinary. It took years of training for them not to scream in pain using this artifact. Of course, they are not stretching him like how they do to theirselves; they would increase the level day by day.
The balance training and the pain training were much the same; each shocked the trio once again. 'He is good' Luna couldn't help but think this again. Even though she disliked him, and that hadn't changed, she had to admit that she was amazed.
Meanwhile, the sisters seemed to be proud and happy. As André got up from the ground, he smiled at the two, seeing they were smiling warmly at him. Daenerys and Madelyn pulled André into a warm hug, their arms wrapping around him in a comforting embrace, and Daenerys spoke with a giggle,
"Actually, today's session was only supposed to be stretching, but since you didn't say anything and didn't writhe in pain, we decided to continue."
They hadn't planned to push him beyond the stretching exercise for the day, but seeing he didn't complain or writhe in pain, they decided to continue. They didn't think André could start another training session after that, but seeing he didn't say anything and remained serious the whole time, they thought he could continue without a problem.
But suddenly, their smiles disappeared as they didn't feel André's arms on their backs. They looked at André to understand what was happening.
"André!"
The sisters exclaimed with worry. André had fainted on their arms and his expression was someone in immense pain. Seeing his painful face, Madelyn and Daenerys felt a sharp pain in their hearts.
'This feeling...' Daenerys thought while carrying André to treat him. They immediately checked his condition. He was completely fnished, and now his body had started to tremble from pain.
At that moment, they understood. André had endured the pain all along, using his willpower to an extraordinary extent. They didn't have time to be surprised by his willpower or how he had this amount of it.
That night, even though they treated him and knew that he didn't have any severe injuries, they still worried. They spent the night watching over him since they didn't need to sleep. By dawn, André looked a little better, sleeping peacefully. With Luna gone on a mission again, Madelyn was the one preparing breakfast.
Meanwhile, in the spacious large bed, Daenerys was looking at André's sleepy face. She couldn't help but smile, seeing how much he had grown up. His facial features had started to become more manly. Suddenly, she felt the urge to bury his face against her, and as she did so, she felt his warmth. She gently embraced him and started sighing before muttering in a low voice.
"At first, when I adopted you, I acted like a mother and didn't care about you. But as the years went by, a small affection bloomed inside my heart. Yesterday, seeing you in pain made my heart ache hard. I was worried about you... It made me realize. I won't keep denying my feelings. I truly care about you, I love you."
She admitted her feelings. She didn't know how it grew, whether spending time together and acting like a mom developed her feelings or not but she didn't care. The things had come so far, Now André was a part of her life. The times that they had spent with André had been pleasant and peaceful. She loved the feelings of being mom and she was connected to him.
Her expression changed to one of guilt, and she continued. "But the fact that I used you to achieve my goals and faked my feelings for a few years will not change. I am sorry, André. I am such a bad mother." She felt bad for taking André just to fulfill her mother's wish. She had been ready to use any means to manipulate him if her fake love didn't work. And in the end if she had fail she would have kill him.
She sighed deeply again, looking at André's asleep face before closing her eyes.
"I knew it all along"
