《Curse of Hades in Another World》Volume 01.Chapter 12 - Guilt and Anger
Advertisement
Few hours ago, King Feran was notified of his brother’s arrival by his Butler Greysen.
King Feran was shocked that his brother has come to visit him after 8 years at the worst time possible.
“What! Why is he here? He has a domain to manage. He has his responsibilities. It has just been a few months since the nobles’ rebellion. He should be in his domain, trying to fix the situations caused by the rebellion.”
King Feran was worried and tried to think of the reason for his brother’s arrival.
“Do you know what he came here for?”
Butler Greysen replied King Feran with a sigh expression.
“Your Majesty! The servent reported to me that Grand Duke Priam Winstone was trying to find late Grand Duke Hector Drakos’s son in the Royal Palace.”
King Feran finally realizes the reason why his brother came here.
“Oh, God! I know the reason.”
Butler Greysen was surprised to hear this and got curious.
“Your Majesty! May I ask why?”
King Feran, in a panicked state, answers him.
“HE HAS COME HERE TO TAKE AWAY ADONIS FROM ME!!!”
Butler Greysen was shocked when he heard this.
“But Your Majesty, why His Grace would take away Adios? Does His Grace not know that Palace of the Elders is the safest place for Adonis.?”
King Feran knew the answer to Butler Greysen’s question, but King Feran the one at fault, so he tries not to answer it.
“I have no time to explain. We must go to him at once.”
King Feran knows that his little brother will get very aggressive when he sees him, so he thinks of a plan.
He starts to look around and sees the two personal maids of Caius and Philomela. He points towards them with his finger.

“You there! What are your names?”
The two maids were surprised when the King asked them a question. This was their first time in 3 years of working in the royal palace that King Feran asked them something for the first time.
Both of them were taken by surprise. The first one was a 24 years old white beautiful maid with brown hair while the other one was 22 years old light brown beautiful maid with silver hair.
Both of them lowered their head for a moment to show respect to King Feran. After That, the brown-haired maid answered the King with respect.
“Your Majesty! My name is Petra. I am the personal maid of Prince Caius. The maid beside me is Livia. She is the personal maid of Princess Philomela.”
King Feran hands over Prince Caius from his right arm into Maid Petra’s arms and Princess Philomela from his left arm into Maid Livia’s arms.
“It is time to meet my brother. Everyone follow me.”
King Feran and Queen Medea walk in the front while Butler Greysen, Maid Petra, and Maid Livia follow them from behind.
After a few minutes, they reach the Royal Palace Hall. There King Feran starts looking around for his brother Priam Winstone.
After seeing all around him, he does not see his brother.
“Greysen! Where is my little brother Priam? Has he already left with my nephew?”
While the King was looking around for his brother in the Palace Hall, Greysen gathered information from the nearby servants if they had seen Grand Duke Priam.
After some searching, Greysen found out that Grand Duke Priam with Adonis’s personal servants was coming right in their direction. After King Feran had asked him, he asked him in confidence.
“Your Majesty! Grand Duke Priam is coming this away.”

After hearing his King, Feran asked Greysen another question with impulse.
“Does he has my nephew with him?”
Greysen gave a worried face to King Feran than he answered.
“Your Majesty! Your suspicions are correct.”
When King Feran heard this, his heartbeat increased, and he started to breathe heavily.
In the next moment, everyone saw Grand Duke Priam entering the Palace Hall and in the Palace Gates direction.
When King Feran saw his brother going to the Palace Gates’ direction, his eyes suddenly started searching for Adonis. He saw Adonis in the hands of his wet-nurse.
When King Feran and Priam’s eyes met, King Feran had an exhausted face, and Priam had an angry look. King Feran tried to calm his brother down by talking to him.
“My Little Brother! Have you come to see me?”
In anger and wrath, Priam sprinted towards his elder brother and grabbed him aggressively by his collars. He shouted towards his brother.
“You Lying Bastard!”
Tears were falling from Priam’s eyes after he said those words.
“You were supposed to ………. *drip* YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT OUR BROTHER! YOU PROMISED US! *drop* YOU PROMISED BROTHER HECTOR! YOU PROMISED BROTHER PERSEUS! YOU PROMISED MEEE!!! Yet you………… YET YOU BETRAYED OUR PROMISE!”
Priam let go of his brother’s collars and slowly walked away with Adonis and his servants.
King Feran was also sad and feeling empty because of his brother Hector’s death. Still, because he was a king, he needed to show strength even at a difficult time.
He saw his little brother Priam leaving with Adonis and tried to stop him. He said this with a long yet calm voice.
“Dear Brother! Please Wait! Please Listen to Me. Adonis is safe here. I will protect him.”
Priam, in his anger, replied.
“Just like you protect Brother Hector?”
King Feran was already trying not to show his sadness. But After he heard his brother say this. He had reached his limit. He was also angry at his brother for saying such cruel words.
“THWACK!”
King Feran had punched his brother in the face. The sound of the punch was so much that it was hearable from anyplace in the Palace Hall. Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
After the sound of King Feran punched was no more. The sound of tears started.
This time it was not the tears of Priam but the tears of King Feran.
“How dare you say this to me? Do you not know how much I miss our dear brother? *drip* Do you not know how much I wanted to save him? If I could, I would have even sacrificed my own life.”
After King Feran said those, the whole Palace Hall fell in silence.
Charon Gladwyne was really curious about something for some time ever since he had met Grand Duke Priam. So, he asked Maid Larisa in a hushed tone.
“Larisa, Why does King Feran and Grand Duke Priam call late Grand Duke Hector and Commander Perseus brothers? They are even not related by blood.”
Larisa was surprised to hear Knight Charon’s question.
“Do you really don’t know?”
Charon Gladwyne answered, was a sad expression.
“I really do not know. Can you tell me?”
Larisa took a deep breath then answered Knight Charon.
“Really? It is a really famous story here. I thought you knew. If you really don’t know, then I will tell you.”

Apocalypse at Mighty Max
God sold us out and the world ended... well, sort of. God may have sold us, or at least, our universe but our world didn't end. Instead, the new owners decided to play, and we all know what that means: Monsters, a System, Magic, Cultivation, and, of course, two new moons! Thanks for reading! I appreciate the interest. This is a rough draft and is intended to flesh out some ideas for a novel that I had. Maybe figure out if I want to do this author thing, you know? If you want immediately OP MCs, fights every chapter, a harem, this is not the story for you. Sorry about that. If you're willing to put up with a long growth curve, an MC that doesn't know what he's doing most of the time but is trying his best both to survive and to help his friends survive, you might enjoy the story. I'm just trying to have fun, maybe create something that in a second draft I can sell on the eBook market. If you're not into that, not into providing helpful comments for revisions, hey, that's cool, but do us both a favor and stop reading now. ** Oh, release schedule For the first weeks, I'll be releasing a chapter (1800-3000 words) a day. Following that, I'll be releasing whenever the mood strikes me. If I get some feedback, the mood might strike me more often, hint! hint!

No More Respawns
Synopsis: The first time Allen died, he was forced back into a living hell where death is temporary, and power is all that matters. With evil and depravity as the rule, tragedy becomes comedy and life becomes an act. Only a deal with a shady god can get him back to his old life, but what happens if there’s nothing left to save? Maybe hell isn’t so bad if you have infinite lives… until you don’t. Needless to say, it’s all fun and games until there’s no more respawns. Foreword: This story is meant primarily as an action adventure and secondarily as a dark and nihilistic comedy. It may not be readily apparent in the beginning, but that's what I have planned (I feel the need to emphasize the dark; don’t rage at me if it gets too ‘traumatizing’ or something). I’m going to take my time with this, so it won’t immediately inundate you with doom and gloom. This is also a comedy, remember? On that note, if for some cursed reason you just can't handle either the references or the jokes, I am willing to battle in the comments. Anyway, I still put a significant amount of effort into the system, so I hope you enjoy that part. It is a little bulky, I'll admit to that, but I wanted to try something new and its more fun when there's more depth to it. Regardless, I still have a lot of fun doing math in the middle of writing a fictional story (/s). I also want to see if I can keep from messing up the pacing. Many times, I end up going too fast because I'm afraid of the story getting boring, which tends to ironically have the opposite effect. I'm still learning I suppose; we'll see how things go. Lastly, please leave reviews and comments, they really mean a lot to me and (usually) help me improve considerably. I'll be asking for feedback in the polls and I do still check the old ones from time to time. Notes: The story takes a bit of time to develop; give it time if you're here for drama, grimdark, or antihero. The system is all blue boxes and I'm not half-assing the numbers. Chapters will be between 1k and 2k words usually. I always use the oxford coma, fight me. Might drop if rating falls below 4 stars, idk. It depends on how my life is going. Cover drawn by yours truly in MS paint. (I have skill, I know)

Toothpick
“Hello! My humble audience! I, the Bard of the North, am going to tell you a tale. Nothing new, nothing old. A story of a hero, some may say, others a poor boy who was hated by the world.” The storyteller paused as he waited, right timing was everything when telling a story. Pacing… Too slow and the audience became bored then left without tossing even the smallest of coins. If he spoke too fast and rushed the story. It would leave the audience confused and having no reason to be impressed. So like any good storyteller, the Bard has to do a balancing act of sorts. Not too slow, not too fast. Just perfectly in the middle. “In a shattered country in the south, a novice princeling has the ambition to mend a torn tapestry that is his birthplace. Struggling to fend off those who would usurp the throne in an unending civil war spanning centuries. A mercenary that left only death in his wake, unable to stave off the monotony and peace of life. He looks back at the path laden with bodies, wondering if it was all worth it. Wandering souls summoned by a madman, travel away from a wasteland in a foreign land, the first alone, the others as companions. A deity, ancient in her years, waiting to be freed from a duty she no longer enjoys. For all these people and their stories, none are the hero of this tale. No, the hero is not grand, not wise, not ready.. he was punished for nothing of his doing, who was an outcast that was unloved by many, including his father.” This was always the big reveal novices use to jump off into their story. He did not start here, instead, like any good fishermen, he set the bait and waited until the fish bit before pulling. As he saw the audience's eyes focus, he then started the backstory. The harness, that stopped the listeners from having metaphorical whiplash. The foreshadowing. “But that is not where the story starts. No, not even the hero's birth. Where the story begins, is the boredom of the deity, a deity many know of. She who hunts for the impossible, the guide for those who have lost the path, the Huntress of Mallon--” A small pause, a short breath. “--All old names for a single powerful being that has roamed the grounds of this continent longer than any line of kings or queens, lords or ladies. A being of worship for many an individual…” One last breath. And he began singing the first verse.
