[Chapter Size: 1600 Words.]Third Person POVSomewhere outside Orario.

  ...

  ...

  Lucius ed an unscious Artemis in a sphere of his time magid carried her to where he had left his family.

  "What shall we do with them now?" Riveria inquired, looking at the floating spheres taining the unsembers of Artemis's family.

  Lucius, gazing at the sphere with a thoughtful expression, replied, "We will take everyoo the city. Tomorrow, when they are calmer, we will expin what happened. After that, we will leave."

  Lucius lifted Riveria into the air, and together with the blue orbs taining Artemis's family, they returo the city. After spending a night there, while the sleeping goddess, Artemis's daughters, now awake, looked at Lucius and Riveria with a mix of fusion and defense. Lucius, with a stern expression, did not hesitate to speak the hard truth they o hear.

  "Due to the reckless as of yoddess, you were all on the brink of death," Lucius decred firmly, looking straight into the daughters' eyes. "Had it not been for our intervention, the monster would have ed everyone, including Artemis."

  One of Artemis's daughters, driven by her loyalty and admiration for the goddess, rejected Lucius's words. "That's not true!" she excimed, clearly agitated. "oddess would never put us in such danger!"

  Lucius, maintaining his calm yet firm demeanor, replied, "You may believe what you wish. I am not here to ge your perception. But I ot ighe reality of the facts."

  With that, Lucius turned, leaving the room without further ado, leaving behind a stunned and fused Artemis Familia . He didn't care about this family, especially now, that goddess put them in danger because of her ego; all there could have died and she still tributed tthening Antares in the end. He might be a guy who gets into a lot of trouble, but he would never put his family between life ah, which is why he limited himself at times since he became aware a few months ago.

  When Riveria joined Lucius outside, she found him pting the sky, the first rays of m refleg on his thoughtful face. "You didn't o be so harsh with them," she said, approag with a look of . "Even if the truth is hard, there are ways to deliver it more passionately."

  Lucius turned his gaze to her, his eyes refleg a mix of frustration and realism. "I may have been direct, but I didn't lie," he replied. "That goddess acted recklessly. Her stubbornness almost cost everyone's lives. I 't simply soften that truth."

  Riveria sighed, knowing that at his core, Lucius valued siy above all. She looked to the horizon, where dawn brought a new day. "I uand your position, Lucius. But sometimes, words be as impactful as as. Shall we go then?" she asked, with a slight nod towards the brightening sky.

  "Yes, it's time to return to Orario," Lucius agreed, as they both prepared to leave. With a geion, he lifted her in his arms, and together, they rose into the sky. Flying through the clouds.

  As Lucius and Riveria flew towards the horizon, Riveria couldn't help but notiething different in the way they moved through the sky. "Wait, this doesn't feel like your teleport or your levitation magic... are you... flying?" she asked, her voice mixing surprise and admiration, as the wily blew on her fad Lucius's hair fluttered around them.

  With a mischievous smile and a look full of a newly discovered secret, Lucius replied, "Yes, you could say it's a 'gift' I received after our battle with Antares." The rising sun's light reflected in his eyes, giving them an almost magical glow.

  Riveria, still slightly dazed by the revetion, pouted slightly. "So now you fly? That's... amazing."

  [System: You helped kill a millennial beast, you received the rank 4 spell, Fly!]

  Lucius was happy with this; he received a spell worth 30 million points, something that excited him.

  The jouro Orario eaceful; they had to spend a night in a nearby town and tinued on their way.

  "You khat elf from Artemis's Familia noticed that we were quite close, and that we should be, and she asked if there was somethiween us, horrified. I smiled and told her we were dating," Riveria said with a small smile, looking up at the sky as the wind blew on her face.

  "Dating? I thought you were my wife now," Lucius looked at Riveria with another smile.

  "We're not even engaged, how you say we are husband and wife? Besides, you would have to ask my father for permission, something I doubt he would accept," she ented.

  "Really? And you're okay with that?" he asked curiously.

  "Of course it's not cool, but it's okay, we'll marry i or we'll have a family just being dating, it doesn't matter." Riveria was straightforward, and as an aristocratian, she knew very well that aionship she had would lead to having a child aing married, so she was dired expected that now that she had given herself to someone.

  "That doesn't sound like a bad idea, a house on a hill, isoted?" Lucius ented, ughing.

  "That's for…" Riveria was about to ent, but something happe that moment. o Lucius with a small ical sound, an elf appeared.

  "Master Lucius...hm? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Riekling appeared in the air o Lucius, but he couldn't stay suspended and started falling to the ground.

  "Riekling?" Lucius ented as he caught Riekling with his time sphere and brought him back to his side while tinuing to fly.

  "What happened for you to appear like this?" Lucius asked, raising an eyebrow.

  "Master Lucius, it's terrible! Hestia-Sama asked me to warn you that Bell is having trouble with the Ishtar Familia," he said in an urgent tone.

  "I see... so this has already happened..." Lucius murmured.

  "The Ishtar Familia?" Riveria raised an eyebrow, knowing they were talking about one of the most degee families.

  "I'll deal with this, don't worry." Lucius spoke, and as Riekling disappeared, Lucius sped up to reach Orario as soon as possible.

  It didn't take long for them to see the city on the horizon. Lucius flew over the walls and first went to the Twilight Mansion a Riveria.

  "You don't want help?" she asked.

  "Don't worry, besides, this involves my family, it will only cause problems for you and your family. I'll deal with it, see you ter." Lucius didn't wait and used his teleport to the sky and flew towards his family.

  "He didn't even give me a kiss like couples do…" Riveria murmured.

  As he approached the Heimdall mansion while night fell over Orario, Lucius sensed a familiar prese the top of the house. His smooth flight took him directly to the highest point of the mansion, where he found Fels waiting for him, his unmistakable posture.

  "Lucius Drakenar, you arrived faster than I expected," said Fels, his voice distorted eg in the fresh night air.

  Lucius nded gracefully o Fels, a light breeze stirring his hair. "Fels, to what do I owe the honor of this noal visit? You know my family is in trouble, right? I must hurry," said Lucius, his expression calm.

  "It seems your missio alright with Antares? I would have liked to see that beast that even in my time was a legend," he spoke.

  "So you have feelings?" Lucius mocked, but Fels ignored him and tinued.

  "Ouranos asked to see if you arrived, you have permission from the guild to attack the Ishtar family," he said.

  "I see, that's very good, I nning to attack them anyway, thanks for letting me know. Goodbye!" Lucius didn't wait for Fels to respond and disappeared to find the rest of the family in the mansion.

  He found many members of his family injured in the room with Hestia cheg their wounds with Riekling.

  "Master Lucius! You arrived!" Riekling excimed, a mix of relief and urgen his voice. His eyes reflected the gravity of the situation.

  Hestia, seeing him, quickly approached, her face showing clear signs of ay. "Lucius! Finally, you're here! We were so worried. There was an atta the dungeon…" Her voice was a mix of relief and frustration.

  "What exactly happened?" Lucius asked, quickly sing the room and assessing the dition of his family members.

  Mikoto, despite her weakeate, mao speak in a weak voice. "We were ambushed... in the dungeon... by members of the Ishtar familia."

  Lili, clearly shaken, added with a voice choked with emotion, "They took Bell-Sama... We are all very worried."

  Lucius processed the information quickly, his face hardening. "Uood. I'll resolve this now." With a nod to Hestia and the others, he was already disappearing from the pce, driven by a mix of anger and resolution.

  Before anyone could react or say anything more, Lucius had already departed, his figure disappearing in a blur of movement.

  Lucius did not put on bck clothes or use an illusion spell; he simply left in his usual attire as if he were going to do anything but destroy aire family at that moment.

  He was flying toward the pleasure distri Orario, where Ishtar was smiling at that moment, now having Freya's favorite toy, but little did she know that another bomb would drop on her family in this situation, ohat the guild had given permission to explode.

  This night would be another eventful night in Orario where Lucius Drakenar would once agaihe talk of the town the following day.
