The aura at the room was tense and filled with rage

"Well I guess this is only normal since you are not even the real ruler of this empire that means with Athanasia who has a commoner blood may look fit in this role on you" Adrastos continues to insult both the Father and Daughter

"Brother your words realy hurts me" Athanasia commented while a single tear fell on her eye

"Shush not child.. You don't interrupt adults when they're holding a serious conversation so zip your mouth!" Adrastos shouted at her making Athanasia cower behind his father

"I'm tired of looking, I'm tired of trying and most of all i cannot bare to look at your grotesque personality. Do you really think i will fall for your stupid act? In your fucking dreams" Adrastos stated while looking at him with disgust but he didn't expect what happened next

Felix punched him with hurt and anger in his eyes

"Your Highness, enough! You have said enough!"

"So the dog finally knows how to bark! Am i glad to be the one to finally make you stop Felix" Adrastos said when suddenly a hand lands on his shoulder

"Prince Adrastos, let us go. You have to calm down" Darcio tried comforting him but his hand was swatted

"Don't you dare touch me. Since i am already here why don't i just tell you what i really feel since the beginning"

Adrastos took a deep breath trying to calm his shay hand and clearing his mind

"I hate you. More than that I really despise you for the way you treated me" After Adrastos said this he saw the original owner's childhood traumatic past

"All i wanted was to be acknowledge by you! Did you even know how i envy Athanasia before when she can call you as her father but there i am doing my best and yet whenever i call you father you would lash out and insult me!" Apollyon shouted as he felt the pain owner's feeling how heart broken he is

"Everytime you would beat me to see if my combat skills and mana improved, and when you always call me to your room at night just to beat me up whenever your commoner of a lover's death anniversary came!" He felt wvery punch that it seems like even the feeling was still there

Sooner tears stream down on his face, "Don't even get me started when you sent me to a war for sneaking out and helping the commoners. It hurts! It feels like my heart will explode from the pain" Adrastos vented

He clenched his fist as he tries to relax and calm his breathing while Liexieng came to his side to comfort him

"Let it all out my son, tell them your pain for it helps you to calm and forget your past. The bruises and scars he gave you may com to him tenfold" Liexieng whispered in to his ear in a calming manner

"I was waiting for Felix to make you realize that you are not being a good father to me but no! He let you beat me! He knows all the things you did to me and yet he did nothing! I felt like i was the only one that i deserve this treatment. I believed that i was meant to be hurt and will be forever lonely!"

Felix could only purse his lips and look down felt ashamed to let this all pass as he is now seeing the outcome of not being able to speak up. He was hurt with the words Adrastos said to him but he accept his faults.

He was there when Claude scolded you, beat you up in training and even whenever Claude is drunk and beat you up. He was there behind the close door looking down in shame as Adrastos sounds in pain filled his ears while the emperor continues to beat him up.

"The time that i realized that you will never adore me and look me as your son, I stopped respecting, loving and even caring you. You are nothing if you didn't kill your own kin." Adrastos said pulling out something behind his back as he continues, "Empirial uncle may not be the great ruler but i bet he is a better father than you" Adrastos added smirking clearly having fun insulting his father

"You know, when i was a kid i met an old man who saw me trying to drown myself, he stopped me and tells me to continue my life because in his quote he said that there wil always be a rainbow after a rain" Adrastos muttered but still audible to them as his tears keeps on falling down.

Claude suddenly heard a small clicking noise as he look with shock and terrified in his son, there was Adrastos pointing a weapon on his head

"Since i said what i needed to say, I guess this is where I have to say goodbye to all of you" as he said those words was the deafening sound of gun and thw bullet met Adrastos head.

He layed down with him bathing in his own blood

The end
