Chapter 85 - Boss (2/2)

”But of course this would be heresy, so do not ponder on this line of thinking too much. Lest you d.e.s.i.r.e for your dear brother to end up like an ash pile.”

Simon suddenly clicked his fingers and recalled something.

”Jaz, would you like to meet your sister in law?” Simon asked with a cheerful smile.

”Sister- IN LAW?! Brother! How can you be married before the ad-” Before Jazukal could say another word, Simon pushed his palm over Jazukal's mouth and shushed him.

”Shush. Many things are possible, even things that one does not necessarily d.e.s.i.r.e. However, it is best not to dwell on negativity too often.” Simon spoke as he sighed a breath of bitterness.

”What do you mean?”

”You will see when we arrive. Just let me acquire a leave of absence for both of us. It should not take more than five minutes, just wait by the main entrance of the academy.”

Five minutes later, Simon and Jazukal left the academy gates and entered a courtyard with a strange obelisk-like structure in the middle of it. Jazukal briefly stopped to take a look at it and find out what it is, but Simon pointed his index finger at it and it came to life.

”Walk in.” Simon spoke calmly as he disappeared in a flash of light. Jazukal of course followed and was transported to the courtyard of a huge palace. The palace seemed so regal that even a Diva could not afford it. Just looking at it made him curious about who his brother had married.

”If you are wondering, I this is the abode of my wife. You may know her title, or you may not; if so, you are an idiot. Welcome to The Blood Monarch's palace.” Simon said without a care in the world.

”...”

”Brother... how did this happen....?”

Simon looked back to Jazukal and chuckled. ”You will find out in 3 years what happens between a man and a woman.”

”However, I do hope that your first time will be joyful and a night to remember with pride. But of course, that is not alway the case.” Simon continued on as he walked over to the front steps of the palace, closely followed by Jazukal.

”I bet that you are feeling very confused today. One second you are training, the next, you are about to enter the Blood Monarch's palace. Well I am sad to say there is no cure for that, if there were, I would have used it.” Simon teasingly spoke.

”Brother, why are you bringing me here?”

Simon stopped for a moment and looked blankly forward.

”You need to fight opponents closer to your level.”
