Chapter 113: Back Home
After they finished and left the tavern, Quin split up the party, so now only he and his siblings were headed to their house to meet his parents.
The walk was not too long, and they made it in under ten minutes. When they arrived, his mother was outside. Immediately she saw them, she ran and grabbed Silva, Mike, and Loa in a group hug.
"Welcome back," she said, filled with excitement.
"Mum, you didn't welcome me," Quin said and pouted.
"You are yet to give me a grandchild, so there is no welcome for you," she said.
She dragged Mike and Silva inside, Loa and Quin followed behind.
When they walked in, they saw their father using a rag to clean a sword. When he looked up and saw his kids, he dropped the sword and stood up immediately.
"Whoa, what's happening, to see all my children at the same time," he said and hugged each of them.
After he greeted all of them, they all sat down. Lia and her mum went into the kitchen to make some tea and snacks.
"You three are still so young, yet all I can see right now are men sitting down," he said with a smile.
"Well, one of us is becoming a man after all," Mike said. He and Silva glanced at Quin, and Quin looked away to avoid their eyes. story-at-MvLeMpYr
"Oh, it seems he has informed you about his marriage. It came as a shock that he wanted to marry that noble lady. But she is really a great girl, and I feel she will be a great match for Quin," their father said with a smile.
"Dad, stop, you are embarrassing me," Quin said.
"Shut up, boy, I'm not old yet. If you talk again, I'll whop your ass," he said and then burst into laughter.
"In the case of Quin, she was the prince, and he was the damsel," their mother said as she and Lia brought out the snacks.
She placed them down and took a seat beside her husband. Lia also sat down beside Silva, as expected.
"She was the one that made a move on him. Your wimpy brother couldn't do anything. Not long after you guys left, she asked him out, and some weeks later, he asked her to marry him," their mum said.
"So she was the one who asked you out?" Silva asked.
"Well, yeah, but I was the one who proposed," Quin said.
"Yeah, you got lucky. I would have probably attacked you if I found out that she also proposed to you," Silva said.
"Hey, calm down, Silva. I always wanted to ask her out, but I wasn't sure if she would accept. And before I could get the courage to ask her, she did," Quin said.
"The best swordsman in Ribest can't ask a girl out. That's really something," Mike said, and they all laughed at Quin's expense.
After they all calmed down, Silva sat up and spoke.
"I'm sure that you all know about what happened and that it was found out that I was the son of the Duke," Silva said.
"We heard about that, but you don't have to worry, Silva. You are still our son, my little child. And I'll not allow even the Duke to monopolize you," his mother said.
"I know, Mum. I was never going to stop being your son. I don't care about the Duke and all. They are my family in name. But still, I now have two families, and I want both to meet and get to know each other. So I want you and Dad to come to Blacklight and see the Duke and his family.
My real family to meet my biological family. It can be anytime, but I'd like it to be soon," Silva said.
"You don't have to worry, kiddo. We will go there as soon as possible. I have to give that Duke a piece of my mind about what happened," his dad said.
Silva actually knew the truth about what his father wanted to say to the Duke. Silva was delivered to their house, and it didn't look like he had gotten lost. It was as though someone had asked that he be taken away.
So Silva's father wanted to ask the Duke what really happened. But he didn't want Silva to know about his plans at all.
After their discussion, they spent time talking and catching up until some time passed.
Silva left the house later and decided to head for the labyrinth. There was a lot he had to discuss with the guardians, especially on the matter of the beast wave.
He got to the labyrinth. Outside, it was filled with tons of stalls selling lots of things and other businesses, from armors to potions and more.
Everyone who knew Silva immediately greeted him with respect as he passed by. Some tried to get him to shake their hands, and others hailed from afar.
Those that didn't know him began asking.
"Who the hell is that kid? Is he the son of some noble or something?"
"Well, technically, it was discovered that he is the son of the Duke, but he was a little prodigy that grew here. He is hailed as the strongest of the town, Silva Terron."
"So he is the one that everyone has been talking about, the lost son of the Duke. Honestly, I thought that story was bogus, but it seems I was wrong about that."
Silva didn't pay attention to them. He walked into the labyrinth unhindered.
From the first floor, he began seeing a lot of adventurers, young and old, fighting. He simply walked through without care and made it to the second floor.
He kept going until he was at the fifth floor and then teleported when no one was there.
Immediately after he appeared in the throne room, he was jumped by Elsa.
"Daddy!" she called out as she leaped on him and sent him to the ground.
"That's the second time today, dammit," Silva complained as he lay on the ground like he had given up.
