242 ?????????? Part-1 (1/2)
Ryuu sighed as he sat on the banks of a pond watching the fish playing as he lazily dipped his legs inside it and sometimes even threw small pieces of fish food into the pond, this place had always managed to not only make him relax but it also enabled him spend some time to ponder as well as. It had been a few months since he had arrived from the banquet then a couple of days later he had witnessed the arrival of his eldest sister, she seemed to be in a bit of hurry and as such did not even acknowledge him, then a few moments later the ground shook as he felt a suffocating aura before it disappeared completely he knew what had caused it, he knew it was the aftermath of his eldest sister's anger and before long she had visited him as she gave him a bone crushing hug after which they spend the entire day together just like they did when he was young.
After the sudden outburst from his sister that Ryuu knew that something was wrong, from all the time he had spend with them he knew amongst all his sisters Antariskh was always the blunt one, if she did not like something she will straight out say it, as such a worried Ryuu had tried to pry from his masters the reason of her outburst but they skirted away from his questions stating it was something related to business which had made her angry, Ryuu knew if his masters did not want to say anything they will not say it no matter how much he pleads, well accept his 3rd mistress who would relish the sight of him pleading, not only that but he did not have the right as such he had to satiate his curiosity by whatever his masters fed him.
Among all the events the one that stood out the most was the fact that he had finally managed to reach Peak Level Void Immortal level, or in other words he was finally a rank 13th Void Immortal level cultivator a bit different from others since unlike him their peak was at rank 9th Void Immortal Level, and he had finally reached the summit just yesterday a couple of weeks sigh of the day of his birth. As he fed the fishes he spoke to himself in a whisper his voice having a touch of sadness in them, ”Mom will you be proud of me?”
”Ah there you are brother, what are you doing?”, a voice came from behind him causing him to turn as he smiled at the newcomer while he spoke, ”Nothing Big sister I was simply feeding the fish.”
Shamiran simply sat by his side in silence for a few minutes as she spoke, ”Your mother would have been filled with pride if she had seen you now.”
Ryuu's eyes widen at that as Shamiran kept speaking, ”You know sometimes I envy you.”
Ryuu frowned at that as he spoke, ”Envy me?”
Shamiran nodded as she spoke while staring towards the pond, ”Yes I envy you Ryuu, your teachers are not my birth parents.”
Ryuu: ”What? What do you mean by that?”
Shamiran gave a melancholic smiled as she spoke, ”My parents I do not remember much about them at all, as I was so young when they were murdered, even my siblings but fortunately for me your masters were friends with my birthparents they were able to save me, then adopted me as their children and raised me, made me what I am, I always thought them to be my birthparents but when I learned the truth I had asked them the same question as you were asking yourself, 'Will my parents be proud with me.' Do you know what they said?”
Ryuu shook his head, as Shamiran continued speaking, ”No matter what happens, a parent who loved their children no matter what, is always proud of them.”
Ryuu's eyes widen at that as he gave a small smile as he spoke, ”Thank you big sister.”
Shamiran simply leaned and rested her head on his shoulder as she spoke, ”I know you feel yourself responsible for your mother and your aunt's death, but one day when you will have a family of your own you will understand the reason about why they did, what they did, after all a person may possess a treasure so precious that they are willing to fight the entire world just for the sake of their treasure, no matter the challenge or hardship they willdo so with a smile on their face, even give up their own life for their precious treasure, and you Ryuu are your mother and your aunt's greatest treasure, someone for whom she would die a million times with a smile on their face, because they loved you with everything they had. We may not be able to compete with your mother nor do we wish to do so but I, our sisters and even our parents to all of us you are our invaluable treasure, you are our family as such no matter what happens we will be always by your side, even if the whole world becomes your enemy we will be by your side, that is something that I, Shamiran, your big sister's promise.”
