Chapter 27 - the family of indravelora

Both of them shared a laugh as they sat up and left the room of feasts.

As they left the room, they continued walking towards the hall where the statue of god was.

The hall had no roofs, a sky filled with stars stared upon both of them.

As they were talking, Arthur asked another question "so, what else does your spies know other than the things that we already had an slight idea of".

Shyane smiled, "the conditions of south and west are more dire than ever. Soran, king of nero aplhs who is taking burden of west is continously trying to attack and make his move towards lucien and lancelot, the southern king and voice of the red kingdom".

Arthur gave a half smile as he replied, "all of them are going to eventually perish, sooner or later,but i hope it goes on for a long time".

"Doesn't look like it. Princess freya sairose from lunaverth is in talks of marrying lucien in few days, and i have heard that soran is not going to stay silent. So, it looks like that eventually something is going to happen", shayne explained with a hint of jest.

Arthur sighed and looked at the colossal statue of god, "I wish father wasn't such a controlling scum, then i probably would have been interfering in this conflict".

Shayne interuppted without any expressions, "you, rheanor family have always loved conflicts, whether it is yours or-"

Arthur put his hand on shayne's shoulder and laughed, "your griffor people are not some saints that are pure and pious as our father thinks".

"Nonsense, we are as warm as bears in mountains of hiffel. We are just fat and strong but we aleast have warm side that everyone loves", shayne suddenly cocked his head and raised his eyebrows, "maybe that is why our family emblem is bear".

Arthur smiled sarcastically and said, "that's quite good then. Our family emblem is dragon, maybe it's cause we breathe fire and fly high alone in the sky?"

Shayne narrowed his eyes, "always dramatic".

Arthur laughed and said "yeah that was quite embarrassing to say, even Sophia wouldn't say something like that".

Shayne gave a warm smile, "you have no idea how much I missed this. Sure, I had fun doing father's commission but it took me very long time, longer than I could have ever anticipated".

Arthur returned the gesture, "you had no idea how bored I was without you brother. Eleanor did keep me company but it wasn't the same without you".

Shayne nodded, "talked to your son yet?"

"He hates me as much as I hate my own father, quite an irony. The difference between the hatred is that I hate my father because i struggled but my son hates me because he is quite privileged", Arthur said with his deep voice.

Shayne looked at him for a few seconds before replying, "you should have a talk with him. Father won't like when there is conflict in family".

"So, are you father's puppet now? He is not here so we don't have to lick his boots", Arthur said while looking irritated.

Shayne wanted to say more but he chose to stay to silent and walked towards the colossal statue of a God.

Arthur shook his head, "I apologise, I know whatever you say is in best interests of mine".

"Do not worry, brother. I know your intent is never wrong just words, try to control them a little", shayne sighed.

"So what was the commision that father sent you on?"

"There were a lot of tribes and monster in North that were rising rapidly, father ordered me to kill them all", explained shayne with excitement.

Even though shayne griffor was quite weaker now as compared to his earlier days in youth, he was still the second strongest warrior in all of the seven families of the kingdom of indravelora.

The first was obviously the king, the head of the family who ruled above the kingdom and all of the seven families.

King Voramir had seven wives, hence there was seven different families, each of them having the last name of thier mother as their family name. King Voramir was the one who suggested this, he didn't want any of his sons or his daughters to take his real last name. He wanted to test each one of his son and daughter before passing his last name to one of them before he died. The one who inherited the last name would obviously rule the kingdom of indravelora, but that wasn't the part that made them all mad and hungry for power, the true perk of having his last name and ruling was that one would receive direct blessings of a God without any test.

The seven families were griffors, rheanors, voltheras, Malriths, Amenias, Roselinds, Harmorins.

All of these families wanted the power of king Voramir and continued trying to demean each other while wearing a mask of peace and harmony.

Griffors were known for their strengths and loyalty toward the king Voramir, they were also the first family of the kingdom.

Rheanors were known as the most feared and evil family of kingdom indravelora, they were second to griffors.

Voltheras were known for their strength in their unity, they always traveled with each other and had close relations with griffors.

Malriths were known as the family of weapons, as they made advanced weapons with different abilities. They were quite skilled in using their Arcanastra.

Amenias were only known as the bootlickers of king and desperation for their power, they were weakest but their minds were as sharp as a fox.

Roselinds were known as the beauty of the kingdom, they all were beautiful and they used it as their weapon to climb the political powers.

Harmorins were the only family that was not interested in the power, they were known as adventurers who traveled the world. They had close relations with Malriths.

"So, did you kill them all?", Arthur asked a question.

Shayne's expression changed suddenly as he looked towards the colossal statue, "I couldn't fully complete it, that's why I am afraid of the morning".

"Father will obviously go easy on you, if it was me, he would have given me a death sentence already", Arthur said with a self depreciating chuckle.

Shayne laughed nervously and said,

"It's not just that, I also broke his precious sword".
