246 The Sun God (2/2)
***
TILLY was relieved when Winter finally opened his eyes.
A while ago, they all felt a strange presence in the house. When she ran to the room where she left Kiho and Winter, she was so surprised to see the huge change in her son. Her husband said it happened after their youngest awakened.
It's not only his appearance– his Mana now feels very different.
”Mommy…” Winter said, then he smiled at her before he turned to his father and brother. ”Dad, Brother Julian…”
Right now, she was sitting on the edge of the bed beside Winter.
Kiho and Julian were standing behind her. Since she didn't want their youngest to be overwhelmed once he woke up, she asked their friends and allies to give their family privacy.
She offered Wixx to stay with them. But her brother said that he felt a hostile energy not far from their location. So the Red Phoenix went outside to patrol. Ainsworth insisted to come so the Golden Tiger followed her brother.
”Mommy, I met Grandpa Sulien,” Winter said when he got up with the help of Kiho. ”He said he's the Sun God.”
She almost choked on her saliva because of what she heard. ”The Sun God…”
”The Sun God is your father, honey?” Kiho asked him in a confused tone. ”But as far as I remember, you and Winchell are the children of House Rosenberg.”
She nodded in agreement. ”That's what I know too, hon.”
”But Mother, don't other people call you 'Daughter of the Sun?'” Julian asked politely. ”Do you think that it means you're the daughter of the Sun God?”
She didn't want to admit this but Julian was right.
But it wasn't like it was the first time that she thought of that. For some reason, her mind kept denying it.
Plus, Kyro said that I ”swallowed” the sun.
But then again, she shouldn't trust an enemy's words so easily.
”Mommy, Daddy. Brother, I have something more important to tell you,” Winter said. Then, much to their shock, his usually golden eyes had turned into a deep shade of purple. It was almost black, but it was glowing with a gold-ish light that reminded her of the ”pixie dust” that she had seen in a movie in her second life. ”Grandpa Sulien said that you're allowed to see the memories of my previous life now.”
Tilly was just about to ask how but all of a sudden, the room that they were in was engulfed in a blinding light.
Okay, what now?

WIXX, who was flying up in the sky with his flaming red wings open wide, could see from afar the army of ”ice puppets.”
From his estimations, he could tell that there were a thousand of undead soldiers marching towards them. It wasn't a lot compared to the enemies that he had to fight in the past. But it wasn't going to be an easy battle because not everyone's strength was up to his standards.
Judging by their normal speed, they would reach their location in a few hours. Yes, they were still that far. But he was using his heightened senses at the moment.
”Little tiger,” Wixx said, then he looked down at Ainsworth who was running on the ground below him. ”Go back and tell everyone to prepare for battle.”

”WINTER.”
Winter rolled his eyes before he turned around to face his father. He was in the middle of wiping off the blood in his dagger's blade when his father entered his room. So he had no choice but to put his hands behind his back to hide the bloody weapon. ”Welcome back, Father.”
Duke Kiho Prescott, his father, was the infamous captain of the Black Serpent Knights. He was also dubbed as the emperor's ”shadow beast.” People were really scared of his father, and he understood why.
Father always has a cold look on his face.
”Have you met visited your mother recently?” his father asked. ”It has been a while since you spent time with her.”
His crazy mother had left the mansion a few weeks ago after a big fight with his father.
But of course, his father who was already tired of his mother's tantrums didn't bother to ask her to return. Ever since then, his mother would just call for him and he would be forced to visit her in the Prescott's mansion where she currently resided.
”I was with Mother the other day, Father,” he answered formally. ”We went shopping.”
'Shopping' would be an understatement.
After all, his mother was known in the whole empire as a big spender. But nobody would dare to call her out, not even his father. It wasn't like she was only spending his father's money. Everyone knew that his mother received a huge amount of inheritance from his late grandfather.
”Winter.”
”Yes, Father?”
”If your mother and I divorced, would you choose to come with your mother or stay with me in this mansion?”
His eyes widened in shock. Well, he knew that his parents had a hellish marriage. But he didn't expect his father to be the kind of man who would break his promise. After all, before his grandfather died, he swore that he would protect his mother. ”Father, are you going to divorce Mother?”
His father just gave him a firm nod as a response.
Now, that was surprising.
Despite his father's stoic personality, he knew that he genuinely cared for his mother. He didn't get tired of her and her awful behavior for the past years. What could have changed his father's mind?
Could it be…
Winter grasped the hilt of the dagger in his hands tight. ”Father, why did you suddenly decide to divorce Mother?”
”I met a woman called Lucina Morganna,” his father said coldly. ”I'm going to marry her.”
