Dawn Of Legend:Rise Of An Extra-Chapter 219 :Reminiscing The Past

Until the previous Emperor passed away, Kevin never took over the administrative work. For him, The Throne was something that restricted his freedom and was like a shackle.

And to the Emperor's plight, Kevin was his only child otherwise his father would have kicked him out.

Kevin was unable to take more nagging and made a deal with Leonard who in his absence would impersonate him and handle all the work in exchange for some benefit.

It was Leonard, who was able to find a rough diamond like Beluga and made him the Prime Minister irrespective of external resistance.

Beluga remembered how his happy days soon turned bleak when Kevin finally took reign while Lord Leonard vanished from society.

Thinking about this, his expression changed and he remembered something.

From a group of files, he pulled out a document and smiled at Kevin.

"Your Majesty, please take a look at this." Beluga handed the document to Kevin and as soon as he took it, Beluga bowed down and ran back leaving behind his parting words.

"Please enjoy your sweet time with Leonard."

Kevin looked at the report and saw a name, then appeared before Leonard and passed him the record while conjuring a Throne of Ice.

Leonard with a nonchalant expression took the document and as soon he opened it, his hand trembled as he looked over the medical report. A myriad range of emotions flashed over his face.

'How is this possible?'

His expression changed from shock and bewilderment.

After a brief moment, tears leaked out from his eyes.

"Hey, what happened? What kind of shit did you see? Is his medical condition too bad?" Kevin asked with a worried expression only to get reprimanded.

"Shut up!" Leonard growled while passing the files to Kevin. His good mood was washed down the lane by this guy's barking.

Kevin took the medical report and flipped it, taking a serious look at it.

His mind jolted as if struck by thunder and he sprang up on his seat.

"Gold...Golden bloodline...How did this happen?"Kevin's voice quivered with astonishment.

Raising his chin, he saw his mate sitting silently, closing his eyes and undergoing a deep contemplation.

"I don't know for sure but I think I got a lead," Leonard answered in a heavy tone as he clenched his fist tightly.

His son should have been born with a golden spoon. He should have been drowned in riches and recognition of the whole world whose status was only second to the Prince or Princess of the Empire.

With two immensely powerful bloodlines backing him, his growth was unlimited and he was bound to grow into a terrifying existence similar to them.

Alas,

Fate played a cruel joke on them, destroying all their dreams.

Leonard gritted his teeth, remembering the day when he almost lost everything in front of his eyes.

The day his wife had to break down and bow to spare their son's life. It was such a humiliation, which was enough for him to commit suicide.

Seeing Leonard, clenching his jaws, Kevin was sure that he was thinking of that event that happened during the War with the Demonkin.

It was a period when everything went to shit even for him.

His father was killed and his mother, who loved his father so much, left the world unable to bear her husband's absence and his beloved daughter was almost killed.

While war raged on, Vanessa was 8 months pregnant and the period of war with the Demon King was at its last stage. Things were getting intense so Leonard and they thought it would be much safer for Vanessa to remain in her parent's house in Ralph.

Carrying a child in a womb for 8 months, there was no way Vanessa could put up a fight in case of trouble so they decided to move her.

Unfortunately, there was a traitor in the group who messed up with the portal coordinates and transferred them to a desolate place filled with a hundred-nine stars.

They weren't demons or monsters. They were something different, a species that didn't belong to this world.

Something of nefarious existence.

If alone Leonard might have been enough to take on them and even if he was pushed back, he could have escaped but due to Vanessa, his freedom was restricted and at last, the unimaginable thing finally happened.

Vanessa begged for her child's life. Fortunately, the other side spared them in exchange for extracting their bloodline.

Taking the bloodline power of others was their primary goal and they didn't care if Leonard and Vanessa lived as they didn't take them as a threat after bloodline power was extracted.

Leonard, on losing his bloodline and losing his bloodline power, became weaker.

His rank fell to 3-Star and his body aged up getting filled with wrinkles.

However, when they collected Vanessa's bloodline, a miracle happened.

It was as if God gave them a chance.

The presence of a child in the womb shielded the mother from bloodline extraction but in doing so the child's bloodline seemed to be extracted.

The other party wasn't able to foresee this and extracting her bloodlines caused abnormality. Vanessa was forced to give birth to a premature child due to the complications involved and due to this she wouldn't be able to give birth to any more children.

This was also the reason Vanessa loved her son more than anything else to the point that she wouldn't flinch back to go against the world for her son.

Moreover, her child when tested was found to have a common bloodline which always made her feel guilty.

As for those monsters, till now they have never been found out even though Kevin had used all his resources to search both in this world and the Demon world.

Leonard and Vanessa, after this incident went into hiding. even he himself didn't know where they went until he saw Lucas' profile.

Later, when he saw Lucas' profile with a bronze bloodline, he guessed that Leonard had used the bloodline potion that was kept as family heritage.

However, he didn't know how the bronze bloodline became golden.

"Leo, you have reached 6-Star with your training. This potion surely had a miraculous effect. So, why don't you also take it?"

Leonard shook his head with a bitter smile"I have thought about that before but I decided to give up. This potion works to upgrade your bloodline by one step. That means someone with no bloodline grade can upgrade his rank to bronze while someone of platinum rank can upgrade it to diamond rank. However, for all this, one needs to have a bloodline while in my case…"

"I understand. Those bastards stripped you of your entire bloodline." Kevin raised his fist angrily.

"If not for the war, me and the others would have accompanied you. It's all my fault. If I had gone with you. Neither of you would have been reduced to such a state nor the 9-Stars under your command would have injured and died." Kevin said, blaming himself for his friend's misfortune.

His friend had always stood with him in sorrow and woe, but he wasn't there when his friend needed him the most.

"Let's not delve into the past."

"By the way, didn't he have a bronze bloodline? How did he go up to golden?" Kevin asked, rubbing his chin.

"Even I don't know. I fed him with the hope that he might have a bit left of either two bloodlines. It seems my assumption was correct. Those guys were able to extract only one bloodline from him.''Leonard concluded while feeling extremely grateful.

His son seemed to possess the ability of Telekinesis inherited from him.

The ability to control invisible force.

"Though he possesses such a terrifying power, its capabilities might have surely been reduced due to him awakening it in a golden bloodline." Kevin repented.

"I am satisfied with this. Vanessa wasn't willing to let him come here. You don't know how many tricks I have played. She had even sent guards to watch him 24 hours but I dismissed them. You know how it feels when you are being watched every second. I don't like it when someone invades my privacy so naturally I wasn't willing to invade my son's. And as for the problems in the academy, he needs to solve them on his own."

"I still can't believe you sent him to the academy."

"I didn't want to at first but after Vanessa's insane pampering, his personality was really like a delusional idiot. I feared that if one day we disappeared, he might not be able to survive for a single minute. I was unable to watch this so I sent him here. Even if he was bullied, at least he would stay alive and remember that feeling when he faced the crisis of death. After repeated persuasion, Vanessa finally agreed." Leonard spoke with a sigh.

He knew that Vanessa wanted good for their child but her excessive spoiling was too harmful for their child.

Locking him up in a single town, had a serious disadvantage and if his son stayed weak, with that dumb personality, how could he live one day if they died for some reason?

Even though it was painful, he enrolled him in the academy so he could at least learn the cruelty of the world. He didn't know whether it was a good choice or a bad one but since his son was enthusiastic about joining the academy, he naturally agreed.

"Vanessa had always been too muc-"

"Your Highness!"

Kevin was cut off by Beluga walking in with a ringing smartphone that he threw straight at Kevin's face.

"Who is it?"

"Her Highness."

Kevin picked up the call with a sweet smile.

"Hey, Darlin-"

"Shut up, bastard! Your darling had just saved herself after going through hell."

Kevin almost fell from his ice throne hearing his wife's fierce roar.

He switched off the speaker and talked to her under Leonard's mocking smile.

"Weren't you telling me that my wife is too much? What about yours?" Leonard sneered.

Kevin finished the call with a sullen expression.

He stared at the screen and searched for a name in his contact list.

"Hello!"

"Can you prepare a compartment.."

"High..It's about 6 feet 3 inches. Also, prepare a tailor-made suit with golden engravings..."

"Wait! What are you talking about now?" Leonard asked suspiciously.

Kevin covered his phone and answered with a blank expression.

"I called the Smith Cemetery Department."

"Why?"

"Book a grave for you in advance."

"What? Have you lost your mind?"

"No, I haven't lost my mind. It's Vanessa who lost her mind."

Leonard's whole body shivered in fright and his back was drenched in sweat.

'Shit! I forgot about her.'

Thinking for a moment, Kevin went back to the call and muttered with a saddened expression.

"And yeah, also make one for me. It seems, my lifespan is also coming to an end."
