Chapter 227 Redemption of a depressed prince... Part-2.

Chapter 227 Redemption of a depressed prince... Part-2.

Born in the royal family and under the blessings of the whole empire, the prince of the Elven Empire was loved by everyone.

He grew up under the care of professionals and got the best possible teachings from selected people.

In the small eyes of the young prince, a flame of ambition appeared.

Wanting to prove that everyone's expectations of him were not wrong, wanting to prove that his existence was not a disappointment, and wanting to prove that he could carry the burden of his father on his shoulders.

As the only son of the King of the Elves, great expectations burdened him from a very young age.

The maids that took care of his daily needs, would tell him stories about his father's heroic deeds, and his mother would tell him stories about how she adventured with his father in her younger days.

To the young prince, it was all so fascinating to hear when he was young, but as he grew up he started to realize a difficult reality.

The world was not just a happy and good place, thousands of soldiers die every year to protect their homeland from the Demon race. (The elf continent is the closest place to the demon continent... they will be the first to get attack in case of war...)

And even this number was very low actually, in case of wars, the death of hundreds of thousands of people was common in this world.

Seeing the great burdens that were weighing on his father's shoulders, the young prince became desperate for power.

As he grew up, his parents started to rarely meet him and they started to focus on their work more instead of spending time with him.

The time spent with parents shortened a lot, but there was still a saving light in the young prince's world.

He had a younger sister to talk to, she was five years younger than him but she was quite smart for her age. (Yeah, Al is five years older than Rio and others...)

At the age of fifteen, the young prince became an 'awakener', he was happy to find out that he had the talent to one day shoulder the burdens that were weighing his father.

He now had a way to prove his worth.

The young prince took part in various competitions and tournaments from that day onwards, he fought awakeners from all over the empire in the hope of improving himself much faster compared to his peers.

Winning tournaments over and over, creating amazing records one after another, became a daily thing for the young prince.

His popularity in the empire increased to an all-time high as he proved himself worthy of the crown from a very young age.

Moreover, he was happy to see that his younger sister looked at him with awe whenever he told her stories about his adventures.

To him, those were days of great joy.

But as they say: 'Nothing in this world is absolute...'

The day came when his young little sister who always used to look up to him awakened her talent too.

And as the only daughter of the Elf King, she proved herself to be more than worthy.

She awakened talent equaling her older brother, but her progress was much faster than her older brother.

Her abilities were insanely good and none of her peers were her match.

She went ahead and broke every single record that Al had created on his journey to fame.

She was awed by her brother's brilliance and wanted to walk on his path but in chasing after her brother she never noticed that the eyes of her brother had changed over time.

There was no need to pursue the title of the best, it was good enough to improve on your pace.

From Rio's words, Al realized that he needed to stop comparing himself to monsters like Link.

The moment that realization came to Al, Rio placed his hand of acceptance on Al's shoulder.

That was the moment Al's 'predetermined fate' of being face-

slapped by Fade changed, the threads of fate changed due to the influence of an 'Anomaly' and Al got a sudden 'Epiphany'.

The appearance of that epiphany was so perfectly timed that it immediately solidified Al's broken path and he directly made a breakthrough.

The accumulated hard work that had no place to go, instantly burst forth when the broken path was finally mended again.

This instantly pushed Al to rank S and he immediately ascended due to his previous efforts.

Rio only played a very minimal role in all this, all he did was just say a few words and pat Al once that's all he did.

Al was able to break through and achieve epiphany because of his accumulated efforts that had had nowhere to go and were dormant in his body.

Knowing that his work here was done, Rio donned his shadow robe and left the place unnoticed by others.

Only one thought came to his mind as he left.

'Good, now I don't have to worry about the relations between elves and humans breaking and I won't be hunted down by the elves like crazy...' (Rio)

Rio never liked troublesome things, that's why he took action this time to alter the plot and change it to his own liking.

He didn't want to get involved in troublesome things because of Fade's carelessness and that's why he thought of this method.

To him, it was just a normal or random thing to do, but for Al, this was the greatest moment of his life.

Author's Notes.

Yo! It's your beloved author here!

It seems that Rio really has some great repulsion to trouble, he literally changed the plot to his liking so that he doesn't get involved in ridiculous bullsh*t...

The impact created by this little anomaly is really a big deal...

Question of the day.

What would you have done if you were in Rio's place?

1. Ignore (Ignore Fade's face-slapping session, but then you will get chased by the elves as Fade would kill Al, and you will become a wanted criminal as his comrade...)

2. Kill (Kill Fade first and then live a happy life, all problems get solved if a disaster magnet like Fade dies...)

3. Others (Tell me in the comments.)
