His father has had that solemn expression for a while now. It was a expression he was very much familiar with, he also used to have that look of despair.
He didn't say anything, his father was not in need of any sort of motivating words, he knew how similar they both were and so he knew, that his father didn't need words of sympathy, sometimes having a reality check like this wasn't bad.
He just focused on his book, a few hours later, the door opened, derik looked outside and glanced at the newcomer. A black haired boy with green eyes. He recognised the boy almost immediately, the one his son fought for.
"Sion?" Looking at his son, he noticed, happiness, he glanced at the boy in the doorway and stood up, "I will be leaving for today, don't move around too much." With that without waiting for a response he left.
Sion strode towards Clauis as soon as derik left. He sighed the overwhelming pressure the man gave off were no jokes. "Man your father's too scary for a weak hearted person like me." Sion sighed.
Sion had apologized profusely after he woke up, he had even kneeled in front of him. Clauis knew that it wasn't his fault and reprimanded him for not telling his situation to him earlier.
The both of them would discuss a few things with each other about studies then Sion would go to his dorm. "Sion you are an alpha right?"
Sion looked at Clauis, "Actually I am a rare dominant Alpha." Clauis's eyes widened, most of the dominant Alpha/omega came from nobility while the royal Alpha/Omega came from royalty, being a dominant while being a Commoner? Chances were he was either a illegitimate or it was all just a huge coincidence.
"I-I know what your thinking.... My father.... He used to be a noble..... Of another country, but his brother plotted against him and my father has no choice but to run away..."
So he wasn't illegitimate but a son of a proper noble. "Sion, do you want revenge against your uncle?"
Sion remained silent, should he get revenge? His father was a kind man, this question.... He had once asked the same question to his father, what was his father reply then? Ah- that's right. "Is there a need to? I am happy now, and it's all...... Fine."
He felt crying, but he mustn't cry, He felt a delicate hand patting his shoulder, "It's ok to cry." Perhaps that was what he wanted to hear, Sion, who wanted to be strong, cried, he cried very hard. The memories of his father resurfacing, he missed his father so much.
Clauis gazed fondly at Sion, and patted him more.
At some time the sobs had stopped, and the both of them were asleep.
'Hm?' Clauis looked at the area surrounding him, everything was in shambles, far away, there was this big big man, dark skin colour, and black hair.
In front of the big man was a smaller man, he was human sized, Clauis looked at his hands, his body, there were translucent. He walked forward wanting to get a good look at the people.
"Why! Why are you doing this! What do you even gain from doing this!" The human sized boy shouted. In response all he got was a villainous laugh.
"Then you shouldn't have summoned me in the first place!" Summoned Clauis stopped in his tracks, summoned? Does that mean he was the demon king? Then this guy must be the male lead of the 2nd part of the novel!
He increased his pace almost running, when everything disintegrated into dust.
He screamed, he was falling rapidly. So fast.
Sion, quickly opened his eyes, at the noise of someone screaming, he panicked but shook Clauis's shoulders to let him get up.
Clauis's eyes shot open. What happened? Just now- he saw- he saw the demon king and the.... The male lead of the second part of the novel!
Clauis kept a hand on his rapidly beating heart. "Are you alright Clauis?"
"Yeah.... Just had a nightmare."
What a strange dream.
