Dragon Monarch System

Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014:- Tears That Cannot Redeem

”I am going to start now.” Rin specifically looked at Aditya. She was worried about him. After all, after almost five and a half years, he was about to see his parents again.

”Don’t think too much. Do it!” He had made up his mind. He was no longer that young, naive, fragile child who was exiled. He was the King of all Dragons, the Emperor of an Empire that is known as the Graveyard of Empires.

He had matured. He was mentally strong. He was no longer a naive crybaby who would cry over little things.

”Uncle and Alfred, you guys wait outside. Please give us some space.” Leo understood and nodded his head.

”You all should close your eyes; only that way, Rin can pull you into the spiritual realm.”

”Alright! Will do that. I also want to have an audience with your dad.” The relationship between Leo and Aditya’s father wasn’t that great. Especially in the last ten years, their relationship deteriorated to the point where the Celestial Dragon Empire no longer supported the Dwarf Tribe with any supplies or protection.

Scene Change______

A young man who looked like he was in his 20s found himself in a strange place. He looked at his arms and the rest of his body before glancing around in confusion.

For a moment, it looked like he didn’t even know who he was.

He was on a small Island in the middle of a lake. Beyond the Lake, there were beautiful mountains and a green forest. As he was looking around, he saw a beautiful floating Island with a massive Palace very far away.

”That thing feels like a sanctuary for Dragons.” As a Dragon, just looking at that Floating Island, he felt a deep sense of connection. At the same time, there was this deep longing in his heart to go there.

”Where am I?” He did not move much. He instead stood there observing everything.

As his mind became clearer, he was able to think things clearly.

”What is this place?” He tried to expand his senses, but found that his senses weren’t working.

He continued observing his surroundings for about 5 minutes in silence before he had a few answers in his mind.

”This must be the spiritual Realm. Or this is a very well constructed Illusion.” But in his heart, he strongly felt that this was the Spiritual Realm. He had read about the Spiritual Realm. It’s a very mysterious realm, and very few people have ever been there. Even he, as the Emperor, knew very little about the Spiritual Realm, though he had been there once a few centuries ago.

”This is indeed the Spiritual Realm.” It was Rin’s beautiful melodic voice.

Hearing this beautiful voice, he felt even calmer than before.

A small smile appeared on his face as he realised who it was. Instead of confronting, he sat on the ground and leaned against the big oak tree that was at the centre of the island.

”Within this entire world, only the Goddess of Music can have such a charming voice. Is that you, Rin?”

”I did not expect you to recognise me. It has been such a long time, Father.” Rin appeared 50 meters away from the former Emperor.

”How many years has it been since I last saw you. You have become even prettier now.”

”My son is really lucky to have you as his wife.” The moment he uttered the word ”son” tons of memories flooded into his brain. Rin watched in silence as his expression twisted into shock, disbelief, sadness, and anger, and at the end, he looked very broken.

”My child!!!” His eyes turned red. Tears filled his eyes before drops fell from his eyes and rolled down his cheeks.

”What have I done to my child?” He remembered all the cruel things that he did to his child.

He remembered the face of young, innocent Aditya holding his fingers and walking in the market with him. That was one of the last good memories he had shared with his child.

”How can I do this to my child?” The more he remembered, the more he cried. Tears did not stop flowing. The overwhelming sadness and guilt were eating him alive from the inside.

”You are the one who exiled him to the six continents.” Rin reminded him in a very cold tone. She held a deep grudge against this man for exiling her man to the six continents. Aditya went from being the Crown Prince of the Largest and Strongest Empire in the world to being a beggar struggling to find enough food to keep himself alive.

If possible, she would love to punish this man for the things that he did to Aditya. Although he never speaks of all the things that he went through before being exiled, Alfred was able to learn about the cruel and humiliating things that he went through in his final years. Because of this, she had a very strong grudge against him and his wife. It was not just her; everyone in the Dragon Palace hated them because of what they put him through.

Remembering this, His body started to shake. His hands started trembling. He began to weep like a child.

”My son!!!!”

”What’s the use of crying now?” Rin asked in a cold tone. She did not feel any shred of mercy or sympathy towards this man.

”Is he still alive?” He asked in a desperate tone. He did not look like the proud Emperor that she remembered meeting. He was a broken man consumed by grief. There was no hint of pride in him anymore.

But Rin did not reply. She simply vanished from his sight.

He did not call out to her. He took her silence as yes; his son had died somewhere within the Six Continents.

”Why are you crying?” A mysterious man appeared behind him.

It was Aditya.

Alen Bainnith looked at the young man who had the same long, blue hair and deep blue eyes.

”Who are you?”

”I am Ivan.” Aditya had no intention of a sweet reunion. A part of him regretted not asking Rin to change his appearance. But it was already too late. Although a part of his heart became soft seeing his dad cry like a child, this was the consequence of his own actions. Aditya had no intention of making amends.

”I am the one who asked Rin to bring you to the Spiritual World so that we can have a meeting.” But Alen did not speak. He continued staring at Aditya without blinking. The more he watched, the more sure he was that this was his son.

Just like Alen, Aditya had long, blue hair. Even his deep blue eyes. Both of them had fair skin.

Aditya had his mom’s lips and nose.

”No....!!”

”You are not Ivan.”

”You are Aditya.” Hearing this, Aditya’s expression did not change. He calmly stared at the handsome face of his father. His father was a handsome man who looked his age.

Cultivation kept him looking very young and handsome.

Both he and Alen had the same faces. Except that Alen’s face was more mature, and he kept a goatee beard. Both of them were of the same height. The only main difference was that his dad was slightly more muscular and bulky than he was.

Aditya neither denied nor accepted Alen’s claim.

”Son...!!!” Alen wanted to touch Aditya. But the guilt of everything that he did was so overwhelming that he couldn’t bring himself to even touch Aditya.

He only broke down further.

”Times have changed.” Aditya looked at the Dragon Palace at a distance. The Palace was floating towards their direction.

”After you threw me away, I wandered on the streets of the Istarin Dynasty. I was a beggar looking for scraps to eat and stay alive.”

The more he heard, the more Alen broke down. It was all his fault.

”I survived. I overcame depression and Alcohol addiction. And now I am the Emperor of the largest and strongest Empire within the Six Continents.” Aditya wasn’t the type to talk about his achievements or show off with his achievements. But in front of the man who kicked him out of the Celestial Dragon Empire, he could not help him. He wanted his father to see that even without his support, he had accomplished everything.

He did everything without his help. Now, it wasn’t him who needed the Celestial Dragon Empire; instead, the Celestial Dragon Empire needed him.

The tables have turned.

Time truly had the ability to change the tide of everything.

Just five and a half years back, Aditya was humiliated and exiled. His future looked completely uncertain. He had no time to think about revenge or going back to prove everyone wrong as he was struggling to stay alive. And now, the Empire needed to be saved by him.

”Son, would you believe me that in the last 7 years, what I was doing wasn’t even in my control?” Suddenly, Alen’s words made Aditya freeze.
