Chapter 134 Brotherly bonds. (1/2)
There it was, down on the ground A hels for the eyes and a so
This was Roland’s spare helmet that didn’t really fit Bernir’s armor that he had made It was also not fastened to Roland’s face as it was back down in the dungeon During his rescue sprint, he had forgotten about this part
He did not think that he needed to fasten his helhtly to his body This was supposed to take around ten minutes before Robert and Lucille left He had not foreseen that the runic groupie would be attracted by his wind turbines so ns
“Sir Wayland… your face”
Lucille was the first one to speak up She looked at Roland's face and then slowly aze towards Robert This turned to a back and forth, it was clear that the two young men had similar facial features
A similar jawline, a similar head shape, and hair color even their noses were soh differences to keep them apart but also many similarities for people that were familiar with one of them to notice it Lucille was a person like that, she knew Robert’s face quite well and could see the resemblance
“Roland? Is that really you?”
Robert broke the silence before Lucille could ask a question Just like Roland was able to recognize his brother at a glance, Robert was able to do the same
“Roland? Not Wayland?”
Lucille asked while still being confused
“Roland? Never heard of hi away frorabbed the hel around he tried to place it back on his head Maybe if he played it off he could get Robert to think that he just rese-lost brother Before he could place the helrasp his shoulder and yanking hi, do you think I’nize my own brother!”
It seemed that it was over, the secret was out Roland didn’t knohat to say, he froze Many thoughts went through his head, he remembered his old life back at the Arden estate He did not want to go back, he was just about to build his life back up in this city
This was supposed to be a new start for hi him His own little life that he was fully responsible for and that he could shape in the way that he wanted to
Would running away be the only way? Would he need to escape to a different country to be free of his noble title? His mind raced, oldaway at his jobmoney for others
Then they were replaced by more recent meo He still did not knoho froo kill him The only person that he could exclude was his father, the rest even Robert here could have been the perpetrator
“Huh?”
Before he could utter a word Robert did soe Roland expected his half-brother to be ed and at first, he thought that he was being attacked but that was just Robert’s way of hugging
“By the Gods, you are alive!”
Instead of any hits, he received a big hug from his brother
“Oh my…”
Lucille moved her hand towards her mouth and was unsure what to do She watched as two armored men embraced each other, at least one of them Roland had his hands spread apart in an aard fashi+on as he did not expect this act of affection from his half-brother that bullied him in their youthful days
“Uently tapped his half-brother’s shoulder which soht hi cauess…”
“YOU WERE fuckING ALIVE!”
Robert’s face switched froe Before he knew it, Roland could see a large fist co his way This was an unexpected turn of events, so even though his class her physical stats than Robert, he was unable to dodge this punch
“Hey, what’s the commotion about?”
Bernir stor punched He flew for a few meters and even tumbled once fro okay in there? What was that explosion?”
“Ye? What’s going on in there? Let us in!”
The voices of Arate turned into loud thu to ram it open
“Sir Robert, please cal but for the first tied towards Roland that was slowly getting off the ground
“fuck…”
Roland spit out sohtly spinning as he tried to recover, his half-brother wouldn’t give hih This didn’t mean that he would just let hiuard up Bothuards he wasn’t hurting his fingers After taking a couple ht Robert’s fist with his hand
The second fist was also caught by Roland which turned the fistfight into a battle of strength This coher coth stat
Robert didn’t see and being pushed back he moved in for a headbutt A clean hit on Roland’s nose sent blood splashi+ng everywhere
Roland didn’t falter though, his grip was kept on Robert’s fists His head flew back but it quickly returned as he smashed his forehead into his brother’s nose hi sound as he rebounded from the hit
Both of the and brows crinkled It didn’t seeet serious The twointo hand-to-hand coht could continue a large ball of snow landed between them It exploded into chunks of ice that caused the two to juet a hold of yourselves!”
It was an ice-type spell used by Lucille It caused its targets to be covered in a thin layer of ice without causing e She quickly ran between the two and it was clear that she would not allow another altercation to happen
“Don’t worry Boss, I’ll help you!”
After Lucille’s spell Bernir appeared with his trusty runic launcher in hand He had the weapon up and ready, pointing it at theoff ood boy!”
In the back, at the gate where he left Agni, Ar The Ruby Wolf followed the instructions hisdown on Arate
Lobelia on the other hand was clinging to one of Arni Her protests see any blows to the guard wolf
Roland gave out a sigh before straightening hi blood He looked to Robert as doing the saed to break Robert’s while his oas still mostly in one piece
“We should talk”
“I agree…”
The two brothers nodded at each other while Lucille gave out a sigh of relief
“Put that thing away Bernir, Agni let go of that idiot's leg”
Roland called out to his two allies that followed his order, it was time to uild members couldn’t hear them
…
“Here”
“Thank you”
“I’ll be outside if you need me, Boss”
Bernir passed some tea over to Roland and Robert while the two sat opposite each other Lucille looked between the two and followed the half-dwarf outside The door to the house was closed and the two half-brothers were finally left alone
“Robert…”
“Roland…”

“You’ve beco as well”
“Well uh”
“Why did you do it?”
Robert asked
“Why did I do what?”
“Yes, why did you not come back to the estate Everyone thinks that you are dead, father went away to look for you”
“That old man did? Impossible, ould he care about so tone, he could believe a lot of things but not that his 'daddy' was concerned with him that much
“What do you mean? Father”
