Ivan who was groveling underneath Luna's feet looked his wife in the eyes and for the first time in his life apologized to the woman who he only saw as a means of reproducing. "I'm sorry my wife for everything I've done to you so please I beg you to have our son not hurt me anymore." He shut his eyes and planted his head on the wooden floor waiting for his wife to answer.

"Get out..." Luna pushed out of her chair and walked out of the dining room only leaving those two words behind to sink in.

Hearing these two words Ivan felt the blood drain from his face.

Seeing his mother leave Arius sighed to himself and looked down at his father who had a pale face and mumbled repeatedly I'm sorry with dead eyes.

"You heard her get out." Arius grabbed the back of his father's expense shirt and pulled him back to his two feet.

Ivan stood still like a frozen statue and couldn't come to the reality of what was happening anymore.

Aera who this whole time sat in his chair without uttering a word couldn't help but break down crying.

Lyria who witnessed this event silently followed her mother's footsteps and hopped down from her chair and walked out of the dining room not even making eye contact with her father who has belittled her for years.

"It's over, it's all over huh..." Ivan spoke silently, still standing in place.

Arius just watched his pathetic father quietly talk to himself with all the regrets he had and what he should have done to be a better father.

"You're lucky I'm not killing you right now for what you have done to Lyria and mother." Arius decided to speak up seeing his father like this and tried to cause regret and guilt in the man.

Ivan turned his body to Arius and looked down toward the ground. "You're right, I made a blunder by looking down on you guys. I have no right being here in this house." He then walked out of the dining room and without any suitcases or anything of his belongings he just left out the front door.

Aera without uttering a word followed his father but actually took his belongings with him.

After looking out the window and seeing his father and older brother leave the house and exit out of the gate Arius whistled with his fingers summoning his pets.

Soon, two wolves burst into the dining room waving their merry tales from left to right as they sat obediently in front of Arius.

"Why have you called master, woof!" Fluffy asked, still wagging his tail.

"I want you and Snow to kill them when they reach a far distance, by the way make sure they don't survive." Arius gave out his order to his two pets.

"Woof!" With a bark from the two wolves, they both dashed out of the dining room then down the hallway then out the front door.

Nod.

Nodding his head telling himself good job Arius decided to check in on his mother.

Arriving in front of his mother's door he knocked lightly once.

Knock.

"Come in..." a low voice came from the other side.

Screech.

Opening the door Arius saw his mother leaning on the balcony's edge looking upward toward the sky.

Hearing her son enter the room she turned around and showed a small smile with a hint of confusion on her face.

Noticing her confusion Arius began to ask her what she was confused about. "Mother, what's with the hint of confusion?" He walked over to her and waited for her to respond.

A few minutes went by and Luna found herself more confused than before so she decided to just say it outright. "Arius I'm confused why it brought me happiness to see your father groveling at my feet and apologizing to me..." She put her hand on her cheek in a cup motion.

Arius let out a small chuckle then hugged his mother tightly pressing his skin against hers. "Mother you have every right to be happy that bastard apologized to you so to answer your question I don't think it was wrong for you to feel a happy emotion from him groveling." With this said he released his embrace and kissed his mother on the cheek.

"No matter what, I'll always be there for you." Arius smiled.

Luna wiped the happy tears coming down her face and shook her head up and down. "Thank you Arius, I love you." She kissed Arius on the forehead.

. .

The Han dynasty throne room.

p The throne room itself was an exquisite piece of work. A wide, high room, enough for several hundred people, with a high ceiling and surrounding walls that were predominantly white, with golden decorations as highlights.

Hanging from the ceiling were numerous chandeliers made of precious stones of all colors of the rainbow, and emitted a fantastic, dreamlike radiance. Numerous flags emblazoned with different symbols, each for one of the allies the Han dynasty had, hung from flagpoles embedded into the walls.

Alastair the king of the Han dynasty sat on his throne which was made out of dragon scales and other monster skins. He wore a kingly robe which was gold and silver that reached the floor and a crown that had a wolf's fang attached to the top.

50 men who were all nobles were all on one knee showing their utmost respect to their monarch.

Seeing everyone present Alastair began to speak to his subordinates. "It has been two years since my son has been injured and through that time I have been holding back my rage until today when I received reports they do not have any weapons that are capable of repelling are army today we will be declaring war on the Holy kingdom I expect every man here to offer their support during this upcoming war."

All the nobles stood up and all yelled in unison. "Death to the Holy Kingdom!!!"

. .

The Holy Kingdom's throne room.

The Holy Kingdom's throne room had a maroon rug run down from the white silver throne for a few meters before coming to an end while pointed banners with embellished corners dropped from the walls.

Between each banner stands a large candlestick, many of them have been lit and in turn illuminate the paintings of gods and goddesses below them.

Immense, stained glass windows depicting gods and goddesses are hidden by veils colored the same maroon as the banners.

The curtains have been adorned with gold leaves and embellished borders.

Alfred the king of the Holy kingdom sat in silence with his hand pressed against his forehead trying to calm his massive headache.

Hearing the news that their storage houses were infiltrated by an unknown kingdom, empire, or dynasty made the king worried sick because he had an 80 percent guess it was the Han dynasty that sent men to find out if they actually had a 'secret weapon'.

"We must start preparing for the worst possible outcome and that is war," Alfred muttered.

Screech.

The giant doors opened slightly revealing a fairly like beauty who could cause any man to drool in lust.

She wore a fashionable white dress, which further strengthens her image of purity. Around her neck hangs a golden necklace, appearing to symbolize a noble goddess.

She was the only princess of the Holy kingdom Jasmin.

"Father, why do you look so down?" Jasmin asked while she approached her father with a worried expression plastered on her face.

Seeing his daughter ask him what was the problem even though she caused this whole ordeal made the man chuckle. "My daughter, soon in the near future the Han dynasty will declare war on our land and march an army here and our kingdom will not be able to hold..." He responded to his daughter with a forced smile.

Nod.

Nodding her head Jasmin began to think of ways to solve this situation.

While she was thinking, a beautiful idea popped into her head. "Father, how about we get my boo bear to help us fight the Han dynasty!"

Alfred shot out of his throne and showed a wide smile. "Why didn't I think about that shit I forgot I had a son-in-law who is a 7th-class-star mage! Daughter, get a carriage ready. I will send you with your bodyguard Yua, and both of you will go to Arius's home and have him help us!"

"Yes, father," Jasmin responded with a smile that could outshine the sun.
