"Almost all his stats are max out for level 18....he will soon level up" he had thought.
[Creator are you stable now?]
"Yes I am let\'s continue now"
He dismissed any more disruptions and proceeded to what he was doing.
"Hmm?"
"This person is"
[One of the three people you have in your list Creator]
Immediately Apollo analysed his mana and could only sigh.
"It\'s not him" then his name vanished from the list.
With his name finally out Apollo asks Jeremiah to stop casting the spell.
"I think we could conclude that either of these two surely put the seal on me"
The last two names were Isagani Estrella while the other was Edmund Tower, one was the Lionheart duchy\'s butler and the other was Eros\' teacher.
"Right we have our two remaining names" he could finally feel in relief.
With this new discovery of his, he could use it to attack Eros. If he can prove that his older brother is the culprit, he will have another reason to resent him and Isabella will have a hard time justifying her eldest action.
"Putting a seal on your little brother then whipping him you are truly wicked"
He was already happy since his belief in killing his two siblings solidified he just needed to find more so that he could justify it to his mother.
"All my suffering will be paid a hundredfold"
Then the sound of trumpets sound across the huge ballroom. All attention became focused on the man who holds the entire continent.
"To my loyal subjects and esteemed guests, this day is such a blessing as I see the unwavering allegiance you all have, and I am grateful for that. Today just like every 5 years we all sit here to celebrate the might of the Celestria Empire and just like every 5 years we shall bask in the ambience and enjoy the night"
The emperor\'s voice resonated throughout the area leaving a sense of commanding.
"The night has just begun so please enjoy yourselves"
Without adding any flattering words the ruler of the continent signals the start of the after-banquet ball. The banquet that started early in the morning finally ended at dusk. Now the night is open for the after-event to come.
The clinking of silverware accompanied by subtle melodies played by skilled musicians added to the refined symphony of the evening. The melodies created an atmosphere meant for couples to dance. The air carried the fragrance of exotic spices and scents as if asking for the guest to dip in. Violins and other instruments created a blending that made the guests savor the delectable cuisine.
The ambiance exuded an enchanting atmosphere with the candlelight floating in the air, creating a night of romance and refined splendor.
However, this festive environment becomes the new battleground for connections and social standing, which Apollo doesn\'t want to be dragged into. Few people tried to approach him only to be blocked by a flock of mages.
The friends and associates of the mage tower were introduced to Apollo, and gladly the boy greeted them and Alger dragged the boy to meet more of his friends.
Amidst this situation, Isabella was actually watching, she silently observed how the boy reacted once he saw his siblings.
"It seems like he is doing good," she thought.
She was about to head towards Helios when she noticed something then she switched her gaze and looked at her two other children.
Eros and Athena are both surrounded by the successors of many different nobles and elite families. On the other hand, his youngest son was busy talking to hermits and living fossils of the continent. Those mages were ten times older than his son.
It\'s not like Isabella had a problem with them she just felt like her youngest was missing something, after all the company your peers can give you is still different from the company your elders can give. She wanted her son to have a friend he could rely on.
Isabela finds this a bit problematic and as she thinks deeply about it, she ends up mindlessly heading back to her husband\'s only to be rained with questions and fake praises. Used to this kind of environment the senior mage just handled it well however a question from one of the guests made her and Helios surprise.
"I am sure your son will do great in the academy just like Eros and Athena"
This person was one of the professors of the academy Martin Dorn but unlike the others, he is genuinely excited to see what kind of talent Apollo has.
"I am a bit worried about that since that boy has been frail since he was little"
Helios explained but Isabela seemed to have a different opinion as she said "My son would enrol professor"
These words made the Duke of the East surprise since it was rare for his wife to dive into conversation excluding talks about magic.
"Splendid! I shall be waiting, for generations the Lionhearts never disappointed the academy"
"Yes you are right" Helios said with a smile however Isabela saw how her husband looked constipated which made her chuckle. She just wants her youngest son to experience the happiness of having friends and learning with them.
"Eros I saw your little brother a while and he looks exactly like your father" Samuel Sorel said as he joined in the conversation.
"He might have my father\'s looks but his skills.." Eros scoffs as he continues his words "He is nothing but a weakling"
"Hmmm...you said that but why do I feel like you are insecure," Matilda the first daughter of Archduke Australia said.
Eros scoffs as if he is hearing something funny.
"I won\'t feel anything against a weakling"
"Really? Why don\'t we approach him" Matilda began to challenge him to which Eros answered "Sure I don\'t mind"
"I think this will be exciting," Athena said as he licked her lips in anticipation.
And that is why he and the rest of the successors and heiresses went towards the group of mages.
"Excuse me," Eros said as he tried to pass the flock of mages surrounding Apollo.
"Hmmm?..you are?" One of the old mages said feeling someone bumping into him.
"I am the older brother of the boy over there" he pointed then he continued to say "Sir would it be possible to let us through?" the young Lionheart said as he slightly bowed to gesture his apology for bumping into him.
"Sure come...hey Alger the boy\'s older brother is here!"
He said slightly raising his voice.
"See I told you I am not.." Eros unconsciously stopped speaking when he heard a familiar sound of footsteps.
Gently it made its way to them with a four senior makes with him.
"A brother..right I suppose"
The rest of the heirs feel the pressure brought by a small frame body, they are all taken aback by this.
"Not again!" Eros screamed in his mind trying to break free from the pressure he was feeling. However, Eros wasn\'t the only one feeling fearful Apollo was shaking deep inside. The moment he heard his elder brother\'s voice he started relapsing again. Just the fact he was still standing was already a feat since he could still hear the lashes of whips and burn off each wound.
No matter what he did he couldn\'t erase his trauma with his brother.
"Maybe once I kill you this memory will stop appearing again" With these thoughts his previous agitated state turns murderous.
"Greetings to the successors of the empire\'s lineage" Apollo put his right hand on his chest as he said this.
"Greetings as well to the youngest of the Lionheart duchy" Matilda said as she gave Apollo a slight bow.
"Little brother why don\'t you join us, when we were little you used to follow us around" Athena butt in looking at Apollo smugly.
"Sorry I am not really interested" he said deadpanned.
The veins in Athena\'s face seemed to pop when she saw how Apollo turned his back on her.
"Little one isn\'t that too rude we just want to see you"
A frown appeared on Apollo\'s face as he saw how Eros used such disgusting words.
Matilda couldn\'t help but laugh at the strained interaction between the three.
"Why are you laughing" asked Lina a daughter of a marquis.
"See I told you they are not perfect like what the public sees them" she silently said.
"Brat it\'s been a long time and you finally grew some balls?" Edgar also a son of a marquis walked towards Apollo who was walking away.
"Hey, I said wait!" Edgar grabbed him with the intention of breaking his shoulder, however.
"What!?"
Eros and the others became dumbfounded as they saw Edgar thrown in the air.
