Chapter 369 - The Atlantian Royal Siblings (1) (unedited) (2/2)

Dimitri walked towards Leticia and stood side by side with her.

”I am here to help you Lady Leticia.” Dimitri said with a serious look.

”Oh my… you know you can call me older sister.” Leticia said with a teasing smile.

”I think I cannot do that as of now.” Dimitri said with an embarrassed smile.

”If not, then just call me Leticia. Letty for short.” Leticia said with a sparkling sweet smile.

”What is the meaning of this?!” Patricia said with rage, hearing everything.

”Oh, do you remember that we have a half brother with father playing around with a beautiful maid?” Leticia smiled at her sister. ”Well he is our half brother.” She gestured to Dimitri.

Patricia gazed at Dimitri with a disgusted look. She remembers clearly about the story of her father and a beautiful palace maid. But she thought that the mother and son was disposed of by her father when he saw that the child had black hair and eyes, an exact opposite of the royal family. The child was tagged as a taboo and had to be dealt with soon after he was born.

”That filthy thing is alive.” Patricia said with disgust. ”No wonder father met such an end, it was because this taboo child is still alive!”

”Mind your words Patricia.” Leticia said with a chilling voice. ”He is still our brother. He has father's blood running thru his veins.”

”He is just a filthy half blood, born from a maid.” Patricia said. ”It was true that he is a taboo. If I kill him now, maybe this curse on us will be lifted.”

”I was just a little baby back then, but now I will not let you do as you please.” Dimitri said with a serious voice. ”I will not let you do what you want.”

”Hah! Such hallow words. I will crush you with my own hands.” Patricia said in a maniac smile. ”Prepare your self!”

The ground started to shake violently and started to open up.

”Edward! Get your men out of here.” Leticia shouted. ”And go with them. It is not safe here.”

”But what about you?!” Edward looked at his wife with worry.

”Do not worry about me. I am not the weak and naive girl from the past.” Leticia replied. ”I can protect myself now, and my little brother is by my side. This is no place for ordinary humans to be right now.”

”Her majesty is right King Edward.” Dimitri added. ”You will just be in the way.”

Edward gripped the reigns of his horse hard because of frustration. He knows that he cannot do anything to help with the battle between Atlantians. He knows he will just be a liability if he stays.

”Fall back!” Edward ordered his men.

The soldiers did as what their king has ordered and turned around to safety. Edward took a look at his wife one last time.

”Please be careful and come back to me safely.” Edward shouted to his wife.

”I will, I promise.” Leticia smiled. ”After this, we will live happily ever after like you promised, right?”

”Yes, I promised and I will surely make you happy.” Edward smiled back. He nodded and then retreated to safety as Leticia had said.

The beach side they were in right now was changing because of Patricia's doing. Huge cracks on the ground were filled up with water. With Dimitri's earth magic, the ground that they were standing now did not collapse from under their feet but was shot a few meters up. It now looked like pillars in the sky. Treading thru this new terrain has a risk of falling down a rocky bottom and water.

”This is the best I can do.” Dimitri told Leticia. ”Your twin sister's magic is terrifying.”

”I know. She has been called a genius since we were young. And after the ordeal she has been thru, I believe her magic just got even stronger.” Leticia looked at Patricia who was also standing on a pillar like them. ”But with the two of us, I think we can defeat her.”

”Then let us work together, Leticia.” Dimitri threw a smile towards Leticia, accepting her request to be called by her name.

”I am happy to hear that.” Leticia replied. ”Please bear in mind that you are not unwanted, because I am happy to have you as a little brother.”

”Thank you.” Dimitri replied with a kind smiled. He felt happy to know that he had a blood relative that accepts him as who he is. But unfortunately, not all are happy that he is alive.

Dimitri looked at Patricia with conviction.

'I will stop you here and now, even if it takes my life to do so.' Dimitri thought. 'It is also for Regaleon and Alicia's safety and for the future of their child that I have sworn to protect.' He pulled out his sword ready to launch an attack.
