Chapter 8 Aera’s Regret

"What do you need your older brother for?" Luna asked innocently. She could have never thought that her son was thinking of putting his older brother in place.

"Well, mother I want him to know I came home safe and sound!" Arius Showed off a cute innocent smile that could make any older woman activate her parental love.

Sigh,

Luna sighed deeply before getting out of bed. "Arius, would you like to talk with him here or somewhere else?" She asked while exiting the door.

"Please send him to my room... also tell him not to bring his tras-knight with him I just want it to be us.

Nod,

Luna nodded signaling to Arius that she would relay the message to her 1st son. After Luna left the room to relay the message he told her Arius's face softened. "Ah before I meet that piece of shit of a so-called older brother I should visit my sister!"

Arius walked down the long hallway until he came upon his sister's bedroom.

Knock, Knock.

Knocking on the wooden door Arius spoke in a gentle voice filled with sibling love. "Hey Lyria it's me Big bro Arius... can I come inside?"

Hearing her older brother's voice behind the door she immediately called out to him. "Big bro please enter you do not need my permission got it!"

Screech,

Gently opening the wooden door he entered the room. Arius's eyes landed on his little sister's leg, and when he saw her crushed left leg his heart felt like it got stabbed millions of times. Fuck, it's worse than I thought. Aera legit squashed her leg crippling her... In deep thought, Arius felt his whole body heat up in rage.

Lyria Gazed at her older brother who was deep in his thoughts. A depressing smile formed on her cute sharp face.

Seeing his little sister's face turn depressed, Arius snapped out of his thoughts. and hurriedly walked by her side. "Lyria what's wrong?" He spoke in a worried tone.

"Brother am I a burden now..." A tiny shallow voice squeaked out of Lyria's mouth as she looked towards her bedsheet clenching them tightly.

"Who made you think like that!" Arius's face disorted into that of a raging madman. Right now Arius was on the verge of massacring everyone in this villa who bullied his mother and little sister but held himself back knowing his little sister wouldn't want that.

"Sir Siegfried..." Lyria answered in an extremely quiet voice making it extremely hard to hear her properly.

"What did he say?" Arius asked another question pushing his little sister to speak.

"That because of my crippled left leg it will be hard for me to get married..." Answering her older brother's question tears dripped from her elegant eyes. "Brother am I a burden to the whole family because I can't get married to help grow our family's influence!" She spoke in distress. Thousands of thoughts appeared in her head telling her she was holding back the family.

"LYRIA!" Arius cupped her cheeks forcing her to stare at him. "You will never be a burden to this family do you hear me!"

Tears ran down her soft cheeks. The words she desperately wanted to hear were finally spoken.

"Listen to me Lyria I need to talk with Aera I will be back in a couple of hours" Arius wiped her tears away with his long sleeve.

"No! You can't big brother he will hurt you..." Lyria grabbed Arius's right arm tightly gripping it.

Chuckling, Arius patted her head with his opposite arm. "Lyria, I can tell you now I am extremely strong he will not be able to even touch me."

Hearing these words Lyria let go of his right arm trusting her big brother's words. "Big bro please come back fast I want to talk with you" She spoke excitedly.

"Ok, Ok I will be right back maybe I can help with you're leg later" Arius winked before leaving the room.

"Help with my leg?" Lyria mumbled to herself as she watched her brother leave the room.

.....

Sitting on a comfy chair Arius drank some tea while he waited for his older brother to arrive. After 10 minutes a knock was heard on the door.

Knock, Knock.

"Come in!" Arius spoke towards the door with a listless voice.

Screech,

Entering the room a tall boy with long white hair that reached his back glared at Arius with his emerald green eyes. "What the fuck do you want trash" He scoffed. Taking a seat across from his younger brother he stared at him with a deathly glare.

"Aera why did you cripple Lyria?" A quiet voice came from Arius's mouth.

Hearing Arius's words made Aera laugh. "Hahaha! Lyria is only a pawn for the family her only job is to get married and be fucked by her spouse to produce children so it doesn't matter what I do to her. My answer to your question is fuck off!" He roared smashing the wooden table.

Silence...

Arius felt his heart boil hearing Aera's words. He has never felt this type of anger before even on earth. This was a new emotion for him and it was not a good one. "Sound barrier..." Arius mumbled under his breath.

Aera stood up from his chair and walked towards the door chuckling to himself. Turning around he faced Arius who was looking towards the ground. "Remember Arius only the stro-." All of a sudden a huge amount of pressure slammed Aera towards the ground forcing him to cough up blood.

BANG,

"Big br- no, Aera you did something that is unforgivable hurting my precious little sister..." Arius's cold voice sent chills down Aera's spine.

"What the fuck why can't I move!" Aera roared. Gritting his teeth he desperately tried to move his body but could not succeed. Coming to the realization he couldn't move his body he looked up towards Arius who wore a devilish disorted expression.

Standing silently above Aera, Arius glared into his eyes showing only coldness. "Aera even though I can't kill you for now I will make you never forget what happens when you touch someone precious to me!

Aera's whole body shuddered, his face went pure white he could not believe this was his weakling younger brother who he knew his whole life. Staring at Arius's disorted face he showed a giant grin. "You can't hurt me or father will kill you he is a 6th class warrior!" Aera yelled in confidence but the next words that were spoken shocked Aera to his core.

"So what?" Arius chuckled "In my eyes, he is nothing but a weak ant!"

Hearing these words made Aera piss his pants. For the first time in his life, Aera felt like he should have never laid his hands on someone.
