บท 31: Grandfather

Daedalus was hit by the attack and got launched away towards a building ten metres away. However before the grand Duke could continue his attack Danel arrived. Danel saw the state that Daedalus was in and became enraged saying "You dare hurt my son!"

He then sprinted at the grand Duke. The grand Duke was shocked and realised that he had made a terrible mistake. Before the grand Duke could even open his mouth let alone explain what happened, he was punched in the arm. The arm was completely shattered and was just having there limply. The grand Duke saw this and began screaming in pain and sorrow as he knew that this injury could never be healed.

Danel had by destroying the Dukes future released most of his anger so he walked over to Daedalus and said "Son are you alright?"

Daedalus was awoken by his father's voice and he realised that he had been knocked unconscious. Trying to move Daedalus winced in pain and said "Too painful, I can't move!"

Danel became even more angry but calmed down quickly. Danel picked up Daedalus carefully before saying to the Duke "Follow me my hands are full so I cannot carry you to the court."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later Daedalus had been healed, partially due to someone helping him but mainly due to his body refining technique. This had allowed him to reach the bone refinement stage so he was actually quite pleased, though still a bit angry.

Daedalus then got dressed and walked to his father's study. Walking in Daedalus could see his father talking with an older looking elf. Hearing him walk in they both looked over at him and smiled, the older elf saying "Get over here kid say hello to your grandfather!"

Daedalus then walked over and said "Hello grandfather, what took you so long to come and say hello?"

"You are just like your father and I was busy with kingly duties!"

Daedalus spent the rest of the day talking with the old man about each others adventures and journeys, Daedalus was particularly happy about hearing about his grandfather's journeys and adventures.

The next day Daedalus his father and his grandfather all went to the court. All of them were sitting at the highest points of the room. While Lucid and his father were kneeling on the ground with pale faces as they had likely figured out that their lives were basically over for attacking royalty.

The king Daedalus' grandfather said "Let the hearing begin I would like to hear your recounting of the incident, honesty is of course suggested."

Sadly for the Duke his son immediately spoke up saying "I was attacked by him and so in order to defend myself I called my father who the man immediately and arrogantly tried to attack my father which resulted in him being punched into a store not far away, he is lucky my father was holding back otherwise I think he would likely be dead!"

The Duke who had heard this became increasingly pale before outright fainting due to his son's obvious lies. The court was shocked for a moment before ruling that Lucid would be executed for treason or attacking royalty and lying to the court, however the Duke would be crippled and turned into a servant.
