Celestial Bloodline

Kyle and Baron Ohan sat on Neon and Ray's beds for the whole afternoon.

Within a few hours, Neon and Ray's complexions started to become better and the strange lining on their bodies started to fade.

Their purple skin slowly but surely regained its original color.

At dawn, Butler Eon entered the room and sighed. He urged Baron Ohan and Kyle to eat something and rest for a while but they were too stubborn.

Even though Baron Ohan and Kyle both were strong enough to spend a few days without eating. Baron Ohan hadn't eaten for a week due to stress and Kyle just returned after a long time, that's why Butler Eon was a little worried.

After convincing them for a while, they finally agreed with a reluctant expression.

With a sigh, Kyle stood up from Ray's bed and was going to follow behind Eon but suddenly a low yet hoarse voice resounded inside the room.

"Kyl..e?"

Kyle was rooted in his spot. He frantically turned around and gazed at the bed he had been sitting on a few seconds ago with wide eyes.

A pale black-haired young man was gazing at him with black drowsy eyes. There was a frown on his face as he confusingly moved his hand.

"What are...y..ou.. doing here?"

Ray uttered with confusion and tried to sit but his body was too weak. The last thing he recalled was Kyle left for the Royal Academy and after a month the city was attacked by monsters.

He, Neon, and some more people stopped the monster's onslaught because the reinforcement was a little late but he got injured due to the monster's leader's sudden attack.

While Ray was thinking and trying to move his body, Kyle rushed at him and hugged him tightly. Even Baron Ohan who was standing a few steps away rushed at the duo and and hugged Ray.

"Ugh..."

Ray almost choked due to the sudden force of Kyle's grip. He barely moved his trembling hand and patted Kyle back.

"Are yo..u trying to kill me..?"

He uttered and Kyle's grip finally loosened but he didn't let go.

'When the hell did he become so strong?'

Ray cursed inwardly but then sighed and just accepted his fate of being hugged by his younger brother. Baron Ohan also sat behind Kyle and hugged them both.

Tears streamed down his old face as he patted Ray back nervously.

Butler Han stood beside the bed and looked at the trio with moist eyes.

Ray saw his father crying and his confusion increased. His father looked a little older and thinner than he remembered. Kyle too looked a little different from his memories. Especially the corners of his hair that were always sparkling with silver color were now devoid of their brilliance.

He sighed and patted his crying father back.

'I need to know what's happening.'

After a few seconds, Ray felt something wet touching his shoulder. His eyes widened in shock.

"Hey..Kyle? Are you crying!"

He said with disbelief. Kyle was crying. The person who never shed tears after their mother's death was crying. Even when Neon beat him up he only cursed and frowned but never cried.

"I am..not!"

Kyle replied and his hug around Ray tightened. Ray winced feeling Kyle's tight grip.

'Damn! I am a (D+)-Rank warrior. How the hell is his grip so strong? He just left for the Academy a month ago. What did they feed this lazy fella to make him so strong?'

Ray thought inwardly but there was a smile on his pale face as he hugged Kyle and his father back.

Kyle took a deep breath and slowly gazed at Ray's face with a smile. He hurriedly wiped his moist eyes and felt the warmth of his body.

'Everything is fine now.'

He thought inwardly and his heart became peaceful. Even though he acted all mature he just turned 17 this year. There was no way he would have taken it easily if anything bad happened to Ray and Neon.

While they were hugging each other an irritated and small voice sounded from their left.

"What's happening..Why is everyone hugging Ray?"

Baron Ohan turned around and saw Neon had also woken up. Unlike Ray, he was able to sit up straight and was looking at the trio curiously.

Baron Ohan stood up and hugged Neon with teary eyes. Kyle gazed at Neon from the corner of his eyes.

"Idiot."

He wispered slowly and let go of Ray who almost died because of his emotional hug.

"What did you say!"

Neon gazed at Kyle's approaching figure with angry eyes but Kyle just shrugged his shoulders and hugged him tightly.

Just like Ray, he also suffered from their tight hugs for a few minutes.

The two other unconscious people present inside the room also woke up but they silently watched from the sidelines without interfering.

After a few minutes, when Kyle and Baron Ohan calmed down. Butler Eon hurriedly told Ray and Neon everything that transpired within the last six months.

After knowing everything both of them were shocked beyond words.

"The (A)-Rank Python poison that injured us was strong enough to kill us."

Ray whispered slowly and looked at Kyle with moist eyes. He gestured for him to come sit beside him.

Kyle nodded and just sat on his bed. Ray patted his head with a proud smile.

"I know the last six months were difficult but you did an amazing job, my lazy brother. Thank you and I am sorry for being such a useless big brother."

He said with a guilty expression. He never wanted Kyle to experience so many things because of him. Kyle was the youngest and he endangered his life for him.

Kyle removed Ray's hand from his head with a frown.

"I not lazy!"

"Yes Yes, you are not."

Ray chuckled and again started ruffling his hair.

Neon gazed at the duo.

"I think it's because I haven't eaten any real food for the past six months that's why I am hungry."

He grumbled and looked at Butler Eon who was standing by the bedside.

Ray and Kyle also looked at Butler Eon and raised their hands.

"Now that you mentioned it I am also a little hungry."

"Me too."

Baron Ohan gazed at his son's and stood up with a smile.

"Eon let's go I will help you out."

Butler Eon chuckled and both of them left the room to prepare something good for the kids.
