Painful truth - 2

Lucas stopped crying because he had already emptied his eyes. He came out from his mother's curled up position and stood in front of her.

Athanasia also looked at her son. She saw determination in his eyes when he said :-

" You don't have to worry about me. I won't cry forever and live a happy and fulfilling life. I will grow stronger than anyone else and become immortal and undefeatable just like so that someday I will be able to visit the world you are going to."

Athanasia had a happy and warm smile on her face when she heard her son. Athanasia or Silvia had lived for more than 10 millennium years. Yet she never had childrens because for her they seemed insignificant.

She is an eternal being, someone who is going to live for an eternity. She used to think that for an eternal being there is no need of childrens. The reason also why she conceived Lucas was because this empire which was named upon her was her home. She feared that once she left this world she wouldn't have any connection with this empire.

She wanted to leave a connection to this world and one of her friends suggested the idea of leaving a child. She firstly retorted it but she understood the logic. By leaving a child behind she is leaving the most integral part of her. Even her father left many childrens and he also talks to them from time to time. Well, with her powers she would be able to travel to her father's world but her father is never in a stable place. Her siblings even said that once he conquered a whole galaxy and left it.

Her motive was only that but never in her worst nightmares would she have believed that she would adore her son this much. Someone might have enjoyed and be thrilled when they are going to a completely different and new place but for her, it would at least require a hundred years to even stop thinking about how her son is doing and other silly stuff. Well, that's a mother for you.

" Yes I know my son." Silvia said, proud of her son's courage. She still looks at her son as her baby so obviously she would be proud of hollow words as well.

" So, I didn't want to ask this before but who is my father ? And don't try to avoid the question because I know he is an angel." Lucas asked with a serious tone.

" Um, the thing is son, even if I want to I can't tell you about your father but he told me something to tell you :- " She continued.

" Son, no matter where you are, who you are, I don't want to let you know who I am but that doesn't mean I am not with you. I am always alongside you and when you need my help just remember that my blood flows through and the whole heaven's will protect you." She concluded.

Sigh…..

' I really have a weird family. My mother is a dragon and just not any dragon but a dragon who is treated like a god while my father is an entire mystery itself.' Lucas thought with a sigh.

" So I know I should have told you this earlier but I have already prepared the best possible future for you." Silvia said. Like every parent, she also wanted the best for her child.

Suddenly the grandiose door opened once again. From the door a man came.

The man was a good height taller with 6'6( 201 cm). He had blueish black hair which was slick and straight. He had the blue sapphire blue eyes with the strange magical luster just like Lucas's before changing. He had fair skin which looked delicate but strong. He looked to be in his late twenties.

Except for that he was wearing a navy blue and red themed imperial uniform with various medals and badges. He was also wearing a furred Cape which was also in navy blue colour. He also wore some accessories which emphasised his style as well as his status.

After walking for a few minutes that man knelt in front of Athanasia a good 10 steps. His head was staring at floor when he said :-

" It's my honor that I was able to see the true form of lady Athanasia before dying." He said.

" Stand up, Leon. You are embarrassing me in front of my son." Silvia said in a cold which Lucas had never seen before.

The man simply stood up and looked at Lucas with an excited smile.

" Do you know who he is ?" Athanasia asked Lucas.

" No," Lucas instantly replied.

" Well he is the current emperor of the empire." Silvia casually said which caused Lucas to flinch slightly. After all, even though he was the son of a dragon, that man or Leon to be precise was the current ruler of one of the strongest dynasties in Orion.

" Why did you bring him here ?" Lucas asked with a confused gaze.

" He will explain himself." Silvia said tired of explaining.

" Firstly let me introduce myself. My name is Leon de Algar Silvia, I am the 17th emperor of the Holy Empire of Silvia." He continued.

" If we start from the start. I have no son. That means I have no heir to pass on the throne to. As I don't have a proper heir the next emperor would probably be the child of my brother's which is not favoured by me nor Lady Athanasia. This is my case."

" Now, there is your case. You are the son of what we consider a god. Your mother is going to leave you and except for her you don't have anyone else—" He was annoyed by the grumpy voice of Athanasia.

" In short, I want you to become a prince and the next emperor."
