A Fallen Knight-Lost art of Necromancy

Chapter 179: Family tree

"Severus Seres is the rumored child of Hades."

"What?" Crown prince eyes bulged out and there was an evident shock in his eyes. "Why do you say so?"

"His majesty, I have personally investigated this matter and found out that thirty years ago his mother, Cynthia Seres, performed the ultimate sacrifice to Hades and thus gained Severus. Not only this but Marquis, the ex-king of Rivera has been assassinated. His son and that little girl Melanie too died. No one exactly knows how they were murdered but from secret informers, I got to know that Severus played an important role in it. He not only killed the previous royal family and got his revenge but also killed that extremely meticulous Shui Song. He helped Shui Song's brother Gui Song to take over the lordship. He was earlier rumored to be dead and people from Rivera say that he was reincarnated. Though I don't know how much truth is present in it, there is no smoke without fire" Uze said in one go.

The Crown prince was stunned on the spot. He flicked his robe as he started fidgeting with his fingers to absorb this shocking piece of information.

"And he is here...?" He still didn't forget to ask the main question.

"your majesty we were returning when we felt some foreign energy in our space. I wanted to explore this newfound energy, so I took a turn and happened to stumble upon unconscious Severus. I honestly don't know what is his purpose for visiting Znye Island, but I can swear on my life that he isn't here for infiltration. I seek forgiveness for overstepping my boundaries and thinking that Severus Seres is special."

"Just a word from you and I will kill him with my own hands your majesty" Uze vowed with determination."

Snap!

He felt his back drenched from cold sweat as he was suddenly overwhelmed with a deadly aura from the Crown prince.

Uze knelt down and was not able to raise his neck from the extreme pressure. Sweat continued dripping from his forehead. He was petrified on the spot, not even able to move an inch from his spot.

"I dare you" Crown prince spat viciously.

It was now Uze turn to be stunned.

"Get him a luxury room and maids. I am to be informed about every single detail of him. Take good care of him".

The Crown prince left after giving out his orders.

Uze breathed in relief when the crown prince left. With him, his aura too left which made Uze feel as if life came back to him. He was honestly terrified of his crown prince. No one was ever able to understand him, but this doesn't change the fact that everyone was loyal to him.

Uze quickly left to do his task.

Under a big chandelier lies a full-grown man.

His features were sharp while the light from the chandelier reflected on him making him look more enchanting. 

A handsome face indeed.

[Woke up?] Noworry who was snuggled in a warm nest near his bed said when he saw Severus was finally gaining consciousness.

"Where Am I? Severus who was completely unaware of his surroundings sat on his bed like a fool. He scratched his head in bafflement as he stared at noworry for answers.

[Don't stare at me.]

".."

[We are in Zyne Island]

WHATTTTT.

"HOW COME?"

Severus felt his whole world was spiraling. His head ached and his whole body hurt as if he was crushed under an elephant.

"DAMN. It hurts so much" As he was complaining about pain in his body, he felt a sudden chill inside his blanket.

"Why do I feel cold..."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

"Why am I wearing these? Where are my original clothes? "Severus panicked like a maiden girl.

[..]

[why you are chickening out like a young girl who is afraid to be seen or touched by a man] Noworry teased him and to his surprise, Severus blushed a little under his tease.

"Does it matter whether I am a girl or a boy? This is a private matter, and I don't like anyone interfering in my personal space and that's IT to IT."

[Duh!]

[Don't tell me female maids changed my clothes.?] Severus spooked out from his senses. Noworry had never seen such a terrifying expression on Severus' face before. Noworry felt Severus was quite funny to behave like this.

Noworry just kept his straight face and didn't reply to Severus' question which was like a silent agreement to his questions.

"Damn it" Severus cursed.

Severus came down from his bed and went inside the shower. Truth to be told, the bathroom was luxurious, and Severus enjoyed a nice long bath which refreshed his body as well as his soul. He scrubbed his body until it was red to remove any woman's touch. He really despised it.

[Finally, you are out. It took you an hour. I wonder what you did there] Noworry said smugly.

".."

The fuck noworry. What is your corrupt mind thinking?

Severus really wanted to hit Noworry.

He knew bickering with him would lead to more arguments so he ignored Noworry and used a towel to dry his hairs.

[Tch Tchstop ignoring me]

"."

[You sure you don't want to talk?]

"....."

[Fine! I thought I would tell you how we ended up here, but I guess you are not interested to know the story....] Noworry intentionally paused to gauge Severus' reaction.

As expected.

Severus' movements halted when Noworry baited him. He sighed as he gave in.

"Fine, just tell me what happened."

[KEWL.]

[Let me start from the beginning]

"Okay" Severus took a seat on the nearby stool which was placed in front of his dresser and concentrated on Noworry.

[you remember I told you that you and I both resonate?]

Severus nodded his head. "I do. You even said that you can only resonate with one partner once in your lifetime and in your case, it was Hades. Am I right?"

[Absolutely.]

"Then...?" Severus waited for his explanation.

[Oh, how could I miss such a clue. You were in front of me the entire time and still, I failed to recognize you]

"."

"What do you mean?"

[ As you know that I was punished for centuries to sleep. Centuries ago, when I was punished Hades told me that a man would come to redeem me from my punishment.]

[Dammit!

[He never said it would be his own son]

".."

[I thought someone with extreme magical powers would come to save me but then it was you. I already was aware of your potential so I always thought it was nothing but a fluke that I ended up with you but nowI can't say the same. You inherit a special bloodline from your mother's generation while you are also the son of Hades which makes you a demigod]

"Demi god?"

"What's that?" Severus asked curiously.

[A demigod is a minor deity, sometimes synonymous with the gender-neutral term demi deity, but more commonly the term is used to describe a demi deity that is male, while demigoddess is the feminine.

Demigods usually are the product of intercourse between a human and a deity, though in some cases the term demi deity can describe a mortal that has been promoted to a minor deity after death. Demigods typically have powers and abilities that are beyond what is possible for a human, but less than that of a true deity.]

""

Severus didn't understand even a word.

Like a kid, he stupidly asked. "So, this means I am a god?"

[.]

[No.]

"..."

[Yes]

Ughhhh

[How do I explain?] Noworry fretted out.

He was unaware how much a mortal needed to know about gods but then again Severus was not a mortal however this only complicated everything for him.

[Look here and listen]

"Okay"

[Demigods, or half-bloods, are a race of beings that are half-mortal and half-god. They possess mortal souls and are vulnerable to old age and death though they have longer than average human lifespans; however, their divine blood endows them with supernatural abilities that allow them to achieve feats usually not possible by humans. While most demigods are created much like regular humans, children of Athena are born from their mother's thoughts merging with their father's. In this way, Athena remains a virgin goddess and it reflects how she herself was born, sprouting from the head of Zeus. It is unknown if other virgin goddesses or gods, in general, have a special way to have children like Athena. Apollo, a male god, is also capable of having children with mortal males, but the specifics of how these works are not mentioned.]

". This is our mythology" Severus said as a matter of fact.

[I know. Since you are the son of Hades you should also know about your relatives] Noworry mocked him.

Severus didn't like it but for the sake, he continued listening.

[When a demigod reaches a certain age, normally early teens, their powers start to manifest. At this time, demigods will release a scent that monsters are able to detect and this scent will become stronger if the child learns they are a demigod. Also, if the demigod is a child of a powerful god, the scent can become even stronger. If the child never learns that they are a demigod or they are a child of a minor god, monsters may overlook them]

"It explains why I was the only one chased by those horrid monsters," Severus said after contemplating his past life.

[CORRECT....]
