Chapter 96 - Lying Rather Than Tell The Truth
It was strange though, since he had become a god he shouldn\'t have been able to have a son, this human, Gwendolyn if he remembered correctly, must have been hiding something from him.
He clenched his fists in frustration, his son had just awakened his bloodline so he couldn\'t take him with him right away and get him to safety, he was way too weak right now to be able to go in his plane of existence.
So, he had to find first a solution to protect him here.
He walked over to the bed and reached out to put the blanket back on them, but before he could even touch it, his hand was violently pushed away by the young man lying next to his son.
Mykael was shocked, he had purposely kept an energy shield around him so that his presence wouldn\'t be detected, so how was that possible ?
This young man had sat down and he was turned in his direction, he was clearly in a fighting position ready to attack but his face was down and his eyes closed, he didn\'t seem at all aware of what he was doing, in fact, he was probably still sleeping.
He decided to move away a bit and to his amazement, the young man\'s position adjusted to where he was moving, there was no longer any doubt, he could indeed spot him despite its energy shield.
But what was even more surprising was that he was doing it totally unconsciously, only one thing then came to his mind and he cursed inwardly.
His son\'s lover had to be the soul sent by Cassandra to this world ... He could feel her divine presence around him, and that soul, now that he was focused on him, he could see that it was a soul of a Warrior Spirit.
Damn, he thought, but where had Cassandra gone to find the soul of a Warrior Spirit ?
In addition, this soul was very powerful, even among the Warrior Spirit all didn\'t have the same strength, there were several phases to be able to strengthen this extraordinary power and apparently this young man had passed them all.
Mykael was beginning to wonder what he could do to make this young man let his guard down again when his son, just as unconsciously as the young man, put his arm around his waist and imprisoned him in his arms.
He mumbled something to him in his sleep and it seemed to appease his lover immediately.
Mykael was speechless, the fact that this young man had become completely harmless again in his son\'s arms, and the fact that his Warrior Spirit let himself be tamed by him was something completely unusual.
But Mykael wouldn\'t be fooled anymore, his son\'s lover wasn\'t harmless at all, he still didn\'t know if it was a good thing or not that his son was with him, so he would keep an eye on them just in case.
For now he would be watching them from afar, waiting for an opportunity to present himself so that he could join them, incognito of course.
He wasn\'t sure that his son would be willing to give him a chance after all this time ...
Once he was sure that his son and his lover were in perfect health he vanished and reappeared immediately in the plane of existence where he lived.
He didn\'t particularly like Cassandra, but it would be easier to get information from her than from Lilith about the situation in this world where his son was.
.......
The next morning, when Alan and Erik saw that Axel and Kevin were still unconscious, they did as they planned.
Erik went to warn the instructors that Axel preferred to stay to watch over Kevin as he was unconscious.
He explained to them that Kevin had done too many hours of meditation and that now he was unconscious because of the mental fatigue.
And Alan went to warn Ian before he started his Alchemy class.
Ian didn\'t mince his words to make him understand that he was really upset ... How Alan could have let him exhaust himself so much that he had lost consciousness ?
He had inquired about Kevin from Douglas, as he was the one who was always up to date with what was going on in the Sun Sect, and Douglas had told him that Kevin was living with Axel and that they seemed in love with each other, in fact, he had even said to him that they really looked cute together.
He also knew that Axel had become Erik\'s tutor and so these four were doomed to spend a lot of time together, so why did Alan let something like that happen ?
Or well, there was also another possibility, and that was that he was using Kevin\'s inexperience to cover up the truth about what really happened.
But, if that was really it, and Alan had preferred to lie rather than tell the truth, it was better not to ask questions because he must have had his reasons for doing so.
Alan was a person he trusted completely, so he told him that he had to take better care of Kevin if he wanted to become his tutor, and that if he needed anything, he would be there, he just had to ask.
Alan had already guessed that Ian would lecture him so he told him that he would be more careful in the future and that he wouldn\'t hesitate to ask him if he needed help.
After that, Alan hurried back to Axel and Kevin\'s pavilion as he had told Erik to come back right after he had finished giving the message to the instructors, there was no way his man was training today, not after what they all went through yesterday.
Although the potions were effective in healing physical injuries, internal and external ones, nothing had been found yet to effectively cure the mental fatigue.
Ian had taught him how to craft concoctions using magical herbs that could help to relieve it, but the only real cure was to rest.
And if Erik hadn\'t come back yet when he would arrive to the pavilion, he would go and get him himself and force him to rest, he didn\'t want to see him in the same condition as Axel and Kevin.
But his fears instantly vanished when he saw that Erik was already waiting for him, sitting on the steps in front of the pavilion entrance, he shook his head helplessly but a smile had already started forming on his face when he asked him : "Why didn\'t you wait for me inside instead ?"
