Chapter 5: Dwivedi clan

After one day...

In Rewa city, there are three clans that rule the entire town, namely the Augusta clan, Dwivedi clan, Vishwa clan.

Augusta clan leader was also the city lord of Rewa city appointed by the cloud region lord.

From the city gate, a guard shows five people walking towards the city gate, which two women and three men, all of them have tears in their dim eyes.

"Open the gate," said the white-haired old man

" Who are you," said one of the city guards arrogantly. He thought these people were the peasants who came for the refugee camp.

Now, it was no secret that horned demons attack nearby villages, ultimately destroying the villages and killing innocent people. Hence many peasants come to the city for the refugee camp jointly made by the three clans.

The old man ignores his attitude towards him.

From his pant pocket, he picks a badge in which two cross swords are drawn and shows them.

After recognizing the badge, The city gate guards captain said in a shaking voice, "Sorry, my lord, we don't know you are from the Dwivedi clan. Please forgive his ignorance, my lord".

He knows this badge represents direct members of the dwivedi clan. But it is the first time seeing this old man in the city.

"It's ok, don't perform this mistake again. Otherwise, he doesn't know when he would be killed. There are some people who he can't afford to offend," said Karen. This is the first time he angers by such a minor issue.

"S-sorry, my lord forgives this lowly servant," said the arrogant guard.

"Guards open the gates."

After a while, all five people enter the city.

"Sister, stop crying now. We can't change anything if you like that; who will support your son and daughter," said Karen

"But how can I forget him, his lovely face, his smile, how can I forget selfishness, he sacrifices for his family" cried his mother

His father now looks dull and gusty with messy hair, Now his father, for the first time, felt powerless—a father who can't even protect his son and runs away like a scared chicken.

All of them currently look like someone who lost their most precious thing.

After the death of his younger brother by the demons, kritos didn't even cry and make any expression on his face. He looked like a human stone.

But there is a fire in his heart burning him from the inside, and he suffers an unexplainable pain. His Lakshman, like a brother, died yesterday due to his powerlessness.

He knows his brother dies with unforgettable pain.

In the eyes of everyone, he was the older brother, but in the term of responsibility, he was the younger brother. He was always behind his brother, standing with no strength and no power.

"I always push my responsibilities to my younger brother. I don't deserve to be called the older brother."

He now remembers the words of his younger brother, which now looks like the advice of some elder.

"Pain is the sign that you are alive."

"Problem is the sign that you are strong."

"Prayer is a sign that you are not alone."

"Brother, unlike any children, you were different, smarter, and intelligent than anyone in your age. I am glad to have a brother like you.

I promise you, I will become the strongest human ever had who will be Respected and feared by all race", said kritos with his expressionless face.

" Brother, one day, I will be strongest at that time I will control the life and death of a person."

Finally, they arrive in front of the big mansion.

"Sister comes. It is our house," said Karen

Many memories floated in the eyes of Radha, and he remembers this mansion where she and his brother played together, together punished by father, mother fighting for them with father. Finally, she cried, " Our home."

"Radha, Karen, finally you come," said gorgeous women in 40s

Karen said, " kritos and Riya, she is your aunt Roshni, and you also have two cousins, you will meet them sooner."

"What happened to you, Karen, your age," said Roshni

"It's a long story I will explain to you later, ok," said Karen with a sad tune

Roshni know something terrible happened by their looks and tune

" Where is the father? I have to talk with him," angrily said Karen

"He is in the hall, Radha. Have you forgotten your best friend? Come inside, have some rest. You all travel a long distance," said Roshni

After a flash, Karen runs towards the main hall.

After a moment, Radha hugged Roshni and started crying. She said, " My friend Roshni, Rio is no more. He died fighting while fighting the demons."

"Rio died. How can he" cried Roshni. she also started crying.

×××××××××××××××

"Father, Father, now you are happy after killing your grandson. You are worst than a demon," angrily said Karen

"What happened," said his father

"You don't deserve to know, why you never approved your daughter loves, why you were so insisted on marrying your daughter to Augusta clan for political profits, now see my nephew dies" he cried

There was a shock on the face of his father. Yes, he never approves of their love due to some elder pressure, but he loves his daughter even more than himself. That is why he stopped the pursuit of the elder faction when his daughter ran away. He thought after running; his daughters lived happily with his lover. He often comes down to the mountain and visits the village just to see his daughter and grandchild.

"How," said his father. He falls from his seat

" He dies while fighting horned demons. He was a strong warrior and a genius, who comes only after 10,000 years" cried, Karen

Now, his father looks like someone who lost himself. He was feeling guilty, blaming himself for doing nothing.
