Rise Of The Dragon Emperor

Alexander forced Augustus to reveal the truth of the situation as he lost his mind at the reveal .

Alexander did love Ronan a lot , probably more than anyone else in the palace , even more than Sierra herself , however Alexander was the man who was responsible for the security of the entire family as well as the security of the country of Avalon.

Nobody was more enraged at the fact that the two prince's were attacked on their way home , as Alexander considered this to be his fault.

His fault for being the king of Avalon which made his sons political targets and his fault for not providing them adequate security , which resulted in them being bedridden in the emergency medical room.

Percy had 11 ribs broken and lots of internal bleeding , while Ronan was as good as a dead man walking.

A completely shot mana circuit , that suffered from third degree burns from start to finish. Countless areas of skin tissues dead , massive internal bleeding and injuries. A crack in the spine and a ligament rupture in his right leg.

It was a miracle for him to survive the travesty , as even the best and extremely expensive A ranked medicine could only stabilize his condition but not heal him.

However even inside the palace , Ronan was not safe as the balancers of the world were out for his life , as Alexander now had to make extremely tough life choices to save his family and his son.

Sierra was constantly at the two boys bedside , as a mother she could not see the pitiful state of her both children , as her heart bled to see their pain.

She accepted the brutality of Alexander's training because she beleived firmly that training so rough , the kids would be able to avoid these exact situations in life , where they were beaten unconscious , yet not even 6 months after leaving the palace and they were back on a stretcher.

Her emotional state was a complete mess and she did not even know about Ronan's perils.

Augustus was of a firm belief that should the balancers knock on the door of Avalon palace , them the Draco family would go to war to shelter Ronan.

However Alexander was a more rational man , against 3 level 160 balancers except himself , nobody would be able to even exchange two moves , much less have a chance to go to war.

If it came down to a fight , the most likely outcome would be the Wipeout of the Draco clan for once and for all , the innocent Percy , Luna and Sierra included.

"Why must you play these games with me , O lord Shiva , am i not faithful enough that you must punish me so brutally? ". Alexander complained to the god of destruction , he felt like a defeated man , not knowing what to do.

However time was of the essence and his position desperate , hence even though it killed himself internally Alexander decided to make an extremely tough decision .

----------

( A few hours later )

A cloaked man entered the royal infirmary through the window , with all the doctors in the ward being none the wiser.

In theory breaching the Avalonian palace without being caught was impossible because of the sheer number of guards that were constantly on patrol along with the various formations and runic inscriptions that had intrusion detection feature.

Yet , he was inside the medical wing , as he silently released two sleeping gas bombs in the room.

Swishhhhhhhh...

The gas expanded in the room , as the medical doctors and Sierra quickly became alert , however before they could respond to the threat , the masked man knocked Sierra and the chief doctor out , while the others were simply incapable of giving an appropriate response.

Within seconds , everyone inside the royal infirmary was knocked out cold , as the assassin sneakily removed his gas mask and locked the entry door of the medical wing from the inside.

The assassin walked right past Percy Draco's bed , as he did not even bat an eyelid , however he stopped by Ronan's bed as he disconnected the medicine needle that was injecting him with potent healing medicine , and instead gave Ronan a strong dose of anesthesia as he pushed Ronan's body to an coma like state.

The assassin then put Ronan in a specially prepared bodybag with a small breathing hole as he strapped the bag over his shoulders and jumped out of the window.

With Ronan over his shoulder , The assassin jumped over the window and sneakily made his way out of the palace the same way he had came in before running off into the distance.

( 3 hours later )

A storm brewed over inside the medical wing as one after another the sleeping doctors awakened as Sierra was inconsolable , her extremely powerful ice magic turning the entire palace into a ice sculpture.

" I WANT MY SON .... WHERE IS RONAN , WHERE IS MY BOY! *Sob* *Sob* , where ...pl-please tell me * sob * *sob* where my boy is ... ". She had completely lost it , so did Augustus and Luna whose eyes looked soulless at the moment.

There was no rage in Augustus's eyes , however for the first time ever his black eyes looked like a man who had nothing left to loose anymore . A psycho who should not be crossed under any circumstances, however for the sake of the family he barely held it together.

" Don't cry Sierra , Augustus Draco is not dead yet , and untill i live , I'll be damned if i let anything happen to my boy ". He made a bold declaration , as his assurance calmed down Sierra a little.

Deep down Sierra had an inkling as to who was the assassin , however her heart refused to beleive that the man could be so cold at the moment , hence she kept her suspicions to herself , however for her Ronan she was ready to confront anyone! For him she was afraid of nobody.

But before she could take any actions , 3 men walked into the royal palace whose green robes embroided in white with the letters ' Balancer' caught everyone's attention.

" Greetings Queen Sierra , i am Namra a balancer from the world order , i have some questions i would like you to answer , seeing the frozen state of the palace , i realize that now may not be the best time , however even then i must implore on interrogation , is King Alexander available? ". Namra the balancer said.

Although his tone was neutral and not polite or arrogant , the pressure he exerted made it clear that the request was not really a request but a compulsion.

However Augustus did not care as he simply said " My grandsons just been kidnapped , so i would appreciate if you guys can just f*** off for the day and never come back again ".

" IMPUDENT". Rushabh flared up as he stared a hole through Augustus , warning him that he could kill him before he could even bat an eyelid, however Augustus was unfazed as he stared back with his eyes slowly turning blood red.

The moment Augustus's eyes passed the blood red color it began to look lesser and lesser like pupils and more and more like raging flames as even the level 160 balancer felt a chill go down his spine

" The power of the phoenix ... " Rushabh said lightly as he remembered that the current ruling family of Avalon were inheritors of the phoenix bloodline.

" Please understand my queen , this matter is of universal importance . It is related to an inquiry we have about a forbidden element user. please try co-operate ". Akshat the leader said as he tried to place his hand on Sierra's shoulder , however right at that moment an extremely quick bolt of fire arrow whizzed past Akshat's hand giving him a slight cut and a burn as he was stunned.

Akshat could not even detect the attack before it hit him which shocked him greatly , however before he could understand where the attack came from a voice boomed in the room " TOUCH MY WIFE ... AND I WILL KILL YOU ".

A murderous aura that would instantly suffocate anyone below level 60 filled the room , as Alexander made his presence known .

" Ofcourse my king ". Akshat said with a tactical smile , as he raised his hand to calm down the other two balancers .

" However I must still insist ... WE MUST RECIEVE IMMEDIATE ANSWERS ". Akshat said as he made it clear that this was the limit of his patience. He was trying to be civil and the Draco's were making it hard , and that he was not afraid of a fight .

Knowing his position well , Alexander calmly placed his hands over Sierra's shoulders as he brought her in for a hug , as he calmly said in her ears " Let's get this over with ... ".
