Chapter 482 - The tribulation (part-3) (2/2)
Once again silence descended in the room which was broken occasionally by Ryuu's hiccups from time to time while Maheswara simply held him trying to console him.
'At least I managed to get it out of his chest for now and with the help of my family we will heal him.'

Later that day Maheswara laid Ryuu on his bed, the entire time was mentally and physically exhausting to him and after a few more cups of alcoholic beverage, Ryuu had fallen asleep.
Maheswara looked at him with a melancholic smile on his face before he whispered out, ”Have a nice sleep child.”
With that, he left the room only to be ambushed by Veena, ”There you are how co…”, whatever she was going to say was stuck in her throat as she looked at Maheswara's face, it had been so long since she had seen that look, the look that made her unconsciously take a step back as a look of fear briefly passed through her face.
”Ryuu is sleeping make sure that no one disturbs his sleep.”, With his piece being said he disappeared from her sight without even waiting for any reply.
A few moments passed before she caught her bearings and with a brief look towards the sleeping Ryuu, she left to find the other members of his family, whom she found rather quickly spending their time in the garden.
Celestia looked at her as she spoke with a frown, ”I thought you went to get them here by holding their ears.”
Veena sighed as she spoke, ”I do not know what happened but Ryuu is sleeping and our beloved seemed to be extremely enraged, it had been a while we saw him like this, not to mention he specifically told me to make sure Ryuu is not disturbed.”
Nuwa frowned upon hearing that as she spoke, ”How angry is he?”
”Apocalyptic as such it would unwise to be near him for some time.”
Amongst the trio of sisters, Antariskh was the only one who was present there, as her other sisters were busy and upon hearing her mother's words she hurriedly stood up from her seat as she spoke, ”Then I will go and warn my sisters so that they do not go and disturb either of them.”
Veena nodded at her as she spoke, ”Good, you do that though please remember no work.”
Antariskh rolled her eyes as she spoke with a frustrated huff, ”I know I know”, and with that, she left.
And as soon as she was out of earshot Celestia spoke, ”So shall we confront our husband.”
Veena nodded as Nuwa spoke with a sigh, ”Let us wear our armour, it is going to be a long and painful talk.”
A few more minutes later the trio stood inside a pocket dimension that was connected to Ayindril, a pocket dimension that they used for their training exercises and spars, a pocket dimension where Maheswara was wreaking havoc venting his anger and frustration.
Seeing the trio Maheswara's anger-filled face momentarily vanished as he spoke, ”What are you three doing?”
Nuwa smiled at him as she spoke, ”We thought you would need a training partner to vent your frustration on, so what made you so incensed.”
Maheswara looked old very old and tired as he spoke, ”Nothing, it's just I had the heart to chat with Ryuu, you know he broke down and cried in front of me, the last time he cried was when his mother died and after all these years he broke down and cried because of some lowly wench, you do not know how enraged I feel right now, once again I failed one of my children.”
As he spoke the trio could feel the anger and hatred rolling off in waves from Maheswara as he kept on speaking, ”But the biggest thing that is eating at him is a shame, for letting that wench get close to him, he confessed how dirty he felt because he allowed her to touch him, and I could do nothing.”
Veena sighed as she spoke, ”It is like Sylvana once again.”
Maheswara sighed as he spoke, ”Yes, just like Sylvana, but then the fiasco with the wretched woman took place and everything went backburner, not to mention she was way older and mature compared to Ryuu and she never had to kill that bastard.”
Nuwa frowned as she spoke, ”So what and how should we proceed.”
Maheswara looked down towards his hands as he spoke, ”Although time heals all wounds I know in case of Sylvana she was blessed with some incredible friends but Ryuu has none that I know off, acquaintances yes there are many, but friends like those of our other children, no he does not.”
”Not to mention I fear that just like Sylvana he might swear of ever pursuing romance ever again, he is too young and how would I face sister if I allow her child not to continue his lineage.”
Celestia placed a comforting hand over his shoulder as she spoke with a kind smile on her face, ”Mahes, did we not decided to take it slow and deal with him with the help of our entire family, this things take time and hurrying with it could cause permanent damage so please, please do not charge ahead alone not to mention do not force the situation.”
Maheswara shoulder slouched as he closed his eyes for a moment before he asked the most important question that was running in his mind, ”I dod it so that I could get a better understanding of how deep his pain went, I wanted him to realize the issues he was facing but now the most important question is how should we proceed.”
