《Curse of Hades in Another World》Volume 01.Chapter 06 - Affection and Sorrow
Advertisement
Maid Larisa leaves the room and heads for the royal chambers of Adonis Drakos. When she reaches the royal chambers, she starts to feed him milk. At first, Adonis tries to reject drinking the milk, but the warmness from the milk to his mouth quickly takes over, and he starts drinking the milk peacefully.
While this is happening, Commander Perseus leaves the King and Queen alone in the Primary Quarters and goes outside. He finds the knight he is looking for and starts talking to him.
“Charon! As your Elder Brother served and sacrificed for the late Grand Duke Hector Drakos. Will you serve his son Adonis Drakos as his Personal Knight if I ask this of you?
The knight is surprised by his request, so he asks him a question.
“Had my elder brother not failed able to save the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess that now you ask this of me? Why?”
Commander Perseus gives an answer full of respect and gratitude.
“Your elder brother did not fail them because he was the reason that the Grand Duchess was able to take the Heir to a save place. So I ask of you again, Will you serve his son Adonis Drakos as his Personal Knight?”
Royal Knight Charon takes a bow of respect towards the Commander.
“I have served, and I will serve.”
Commander Perseus becomes pleased with the answer from the knight.
“Go now to the fifth Royal Chambers because that is your master’s room.”
As he enters Adonis’s chamber, he sees that Adonis is falling asleep, and the wet-nurse is singing a lullaby to help him fall asleep. Seeing this peace on Adonis’s face, he does not dare come close when Adonis is falling asleep.
After Adonis falls asleep, the wet-nurse confronts the knight.

“Who are you, and why are you here?”
The knight gets confused because he thought that the wet-maid would have been informed about him. But he still answers her questions.
“I am Charon Gladwyne of House Isenburg. My family has been serving the House of Drakos for more than 200 years. And we are doing so with great honor. My late elder brother Adrastos Gladwyne was the one who served the late Grand Duke Hector Drakos, and I being the next in line, will serve the Heir.”
Larisa accepts his answer and allows him to guard Adonis.
While Adonis Drakos is sleeping, the discussions in the Primary Quarters continues.
When Commander Perseus leaves the room, King Feran starts asking questions to Queen Medea.
“My Dear Beautiful Wife Medea, May I ask where my daughter Philomela and my son Caius are? I have not seen them for 4 months.”
Queen Medea tries to control her anger when the king says this to her.
“My Highness! Don’t just about asking me of them even though you left 4 months ago without telling me anything? Your daughter was 2 months old at that time. Your son was not even 2 years old. He cried every day for you, yet you did not return. Don’t you know how worried I was?”
King Feran tries to tell her about the situation without details because of which he had to leave.
“But, my dear, I had to take care of some important crisis that our kingdom was facing, which is the reason I had to leave with haste 4 months ago.”
Queen Medea becomes annoyed that King Feran is trying to hide the details of his sudden leaving.
“First, tell me what the situation arose that you had to leave for 4 months without telling me anything. After that, I will decide if this reason is important enough for you to leave suddenly without telling me anything.”

“I had heard the news from our spies that nobles in all four major cities around the kingdom were planning to kill the four Grand Dukes. I handled the traitor nobles in Amphissa city on the east, Argos city on the north, and Lapithos city on the south. But Sadly, When I reached the Palace of my Brother, Hector Drakos, in Tyra’s city on the west. It was already too late. Those traitors had already attacked their Palace. They killed both of them with cruelty. After that event happened, my Commander found out that the High Elves helped the traitor nobles rebel against us.”
Queen Medea becomes bursting with anger, hate, and wrath as she hears that the high elves were behind her sister’s ruthless murder.
“So Those Ruthless Elves were behind this. I knew it. It was a mistake when our ancestors did not kill all of them. Now they are not even scared that we will know that they were behind this. They killed my kind and beautiful sister in cold blood. We will make those bastards pay for what they have done. Now I understand why you left 4 months ago in haste. But I am still angry that you left without telling me anything. Your punishment is that for this month, you will sleep in your own room.”
King Feran accepts his punishment and calmly asks Queen Medea Again.
“So, can I meet my children now?”
“Right Now They are Sleeping in their Royal Chambers. You can meet them when they wake up tomorrow.”
“Thank You For forgiving me, my love.”
King Feran comes closer to Queen Medea and kisses her on her forehead.
Queen Medea becomes slightly embarrassed and smiles while returning to her Chambers.
“Good Night! My Highness.”
King Feran, hearing this, also smiles back to the queen.
“Good Night! My Love.”
After that, He also returns to his own Royal Chambers.
King Feran, Queen Medea, and Adonis Drakos sleep soundly in their Royal Chambers while at the Intelligence Bureau Commander Perseus starts hearing troubling news from the spies.
“Commander! We have received troubling news that the High Elves are preparing for war.”

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
