Lies

Azarel went with Asuna with a lot of questions to ask the 'old man.' Because Asuna said that he can answer all his questions. They reached the peach blossom forest where an old man was standing in black- and gold-colored clothes. As soon as Azarel saw him, he was stunned and couldn't believe if it was reality or not. Because the one who was standing there was none other than the king.

Asuna who saw Azarel's expression was so done with him making those expressions and spoke,"Enough with that look that's your real father and the blood bath and ruining things you spoke of were all for to make you the next king. Asuna explained everything from Kazim killing crown princes and Asuna to killing Yoon." Azarel looked at king and asked, "you did all just for that? what would have happened if Yoon had become king like my fath- like Kazim wanted?"

The king spoke- "my son I absolutely had no interest in making my sons as my heir, just because my queen asked that she wanted to see her son on the throne your father killed poisoned her when she gave birth to my 2nd son. later he killed my two sons. And I absolutely can't do anything to him because if I kill him, I'll die too. Later you were born after Yoon, I went to speak with him in regards of throne. There I overheard his conversation saying that he will kill you very slowly that you will never know how, why you die. After that I decided I'll never let him do what he wants and swapped your soul with Yoon's. I couldn't leave things to destiny, so I chose a strong fox spirit as my concubine. So that Kazim will change his target for a while. And he did too, not long from then Asuna was born and your father stayed silent, and I didn't doubt him because you were being raised as his son and Asuna was in mid realm. But that was the biggest mistake I ever did, in fraction of second he poisoned Asuna's eye and made me pluck his eye. Do you know what worse was? Asuna started to lose his mind because he lost eye of truth that eye can not only see the truth but it's like most important thing in brain function. After looking at these things I went to another world for a spirit and came across Riyan the guy who's in Asuna's body. Made a contract with him to kill Kazim and make you king. And if you think what I did was wrong I'll give my sword *kept the sword at his neck* and here is my neck cut it. if you think I was right please forgive me." Azarel threw the sword and said "please end it here. I didn't want to kill Yoon, but I did. I don't want that throne."

The king said "But Yoon is no more and Asuna too. That leaves only you so  please listen to this father's request."

"Fine." The king hugged him saying "thank you for being my son." Azarel started to cry not because of reunion but because his father who raised him died.

Asuna started to clap and question *claps* Eccezionale what a heart touching reunion. Old man now that everything in contract is over. Why am I still here? I was pretty sure that you said I will leave as soon as I complete everything mentioned in contract. WHAT.ABOUT.ME?"

The king shrugged and said, "Azarel is yet to become king. You will leave after the crowning ceremony."

Riyan was doubtful of those words. He felt like something is definitely fishy. So, he started to reanalyze everything that king spoke, and he noticed something real crazy. Which gave him firm believe that even after crowning ceremony he won't be able to go back home.

Crowning ceremony happened right after the execution of Beshah. Surprisingly Azarel didn't budge at all whereas Riyan was sad to the point that he would cry if anyone talked to him.

Crowning ceremony started the whole kingdom was celebrating. few were sad because a war goddess executed. Riyan's doubt became reality he didn't leave like he predicted. Riyan was very furious. As he saw king go to the Sama palace, he went to him and questioned, "Old man, crowning is done but I didn't leave yet. You don't have any plans of letting me go right? "

The king lip clicked and made a sound barrier, replied-"Tch. I didn't expect you to know it that soon. Now that you know live here as Asuna, as my son. that way he will be happy there and you will be here."

Riyan: HA!? *Riyan felt ridiculous* seriously you made me do things saying you will let me go after I complete things. Now telling me to live here. Did you lose your brain in the process to take revenge or what? huh? And who will be happy and where? listen old man my nonno would be worried sick if I don't wake up there so let me go while I'm being nice.

king: If the problem is you being in slumber, then you don't have to worry about it. because Asuna is in your body as you are in his body. And he is happy there, your grandpa is happy too.

Riyan was holding his anger and said "old man you played me too huh? For your sons' happiness you sacrificed your brother's family, I get it. But what the hell did I do you that you made my life a freaking hell."

king: I chose you because you disrespected me in your world.

Riyan: What the hell? "I disrespected you?" when, where?

King: In your world that place called Italy something near the ice-cream shop you said stand in line old man. I was pretty offended by that.  so, when I went for spirit hunt, I chose you.

Riyan: ARE YOU CRAZY? *He tried to remember when it was and mumbled * the last time I ate Ice cream outside in Italy was when i was 8. After that I was never allowed to go out. I WAS A LITTLE KID! Hey bastard, can I kill you for making joke out of me?

King: Try it. but the rule will be 1 for 3, you can use 3 attacks and i will use 1 attack. how does that sound? nice right? I'm very generous.

Riyan used his 3 arrows as 3 attacks but couldn't kill him. and king used his 1 attack that broke his half ribs. Riyan coughed blood out and saw door behind the king remembered that That door links to the Styx bridge. And said I absolutely have no chance of winning against you and you know that too. That's why you are playing with me with 1 for 3 game.

king: This was the reason why I chose you to be my son. I'm impressed even though you can't see much with one eye you figured everything out. I never saw a spirit that's this clever. At least no human would be that clever when he  would be 15.

Riyan: *coughed* The pain I went through in this body for 150 years. you can only feel when you lose someone real important. * Looked at his granddaughter mara who was playing near the pond of Sama palace. *

King: Don't you dare think of harming my granddaughter. And what pain are you talking about. for a mere spirit I gave meaning to your lowly life. that too as war god. You ungrateful human.

Riyan: *scoffed* why are you calling me human this human that? Do you like them or what? As for you giving meaning to my life and calling me ungrateful is making me sad. So, I will give you everything I owe you.

King: A peasant whom I gave power speaks of returning favors? What to do the favors you speak of is revenge to keep you here I know it. But what you do that body belongs to my son and even in dream you can never kill me as long as you are in that body. As for your spirit I doubt that humans of your world strong enough to harm my family.

Riyan: I have been asking you why you keep calling me human? I'm not human. I'm half red fox spiri-

King cut when he was speaking- right, you are not human here, but you were human in your world. did you forget after living so long as half fox and as demigod here?

Riyan: *confusingly* what are talking about? I was fox before coming here and let me complete my sentence I was fox spirit of Haiza.

King: Impossible, I checked you myself. how can that be? you were human for sure.

Riyan: I'm so done with you people that I can kill everyone and jump from Styx bridge. Hey old man, my dad is a mountain god. He raised me among humans to hide my fox spirit he gave me artifact rings. Which will make me look like a human.

King: So, what if you were fox, you can't do anything, you can't even touch her hair that easily there's my son, her father is with her. And even if something were to happen to any of them remember I can kill you thousand times in very cruel way. * King warned him. *

Riyan: Right, you won't let me live or die. I know very well Mr. Cielo Dues, but you will be fool if think that there's no backup plan for me. how come you did not question me that why I stopped with 1 round and where's another arrow?

King: *suddenly* WHERE'S 03!?

Riyan looked at Azarel. King suddenly asked if it's what he was thinking.

Riyan nodded his head and raised his hand in Azarel's direction and said,"After staying this long beside you, do you really think that I would trust you, I sent 03 in him right after as i met him in black pearl. I f you just let me go home I could have recalled my arrow but too bad. Poor soul he has to pay for his father's over smartness."

King: Do you think I will let you go if you harm him.

Riyan: No, you will hunt me to the depths of hell to kill me thousand times. That's why I have a plan so don't worry about me but do worry about your granddaughter's future trauma.

King: WHAT?

Saying that Riyan clenched the hand he had raised towards Azarel. Azarel started to bleed from eyes, nose and ears, suddenly an arrow went out from his body, which returned to Riyan and he died then and there. King who saw him die like that was paralyzed as he raised his sword to kill Riyan, Riyan was at the door and said- "If i die now, you will reincarnate me and kill again, the cycle goes so on. But I don't have any plans on letting you have your way."

He showed his middle finger and shouted "FUCK YOU! SANAVABEACH! Then jumped from there on to the bridge then jumped from bridge. while falling he thought it would be great if he could see his family and teared up little.

*THUD* What in the world, ouch it hurts. *Door opened and person came in*

Huh? HUH???? How is it possible?? Why are you here?

Foot notes:

Riyan has habit of speaking in different languages at same time. Eccezionale means awesome and Nonno means grandpa in Italian.
