高干病房玩弄人妻双飞

Chapter 10: Limit Yourself

\'Thank you but again, you sound disappointed\' Evian replied the voice while laying face down on his bed. His bottom half covered in snuggly bed covers.

Before Daria left, they had taken a soak in the tub in his bathroom where they had of course gotten a few rounds in, and once she left, Evian went back to bed. He didn\'t feel tired but he was not opposed to lounging on the soft foam of his bed.

[You did it- with Sex]

\'So?\'

[You\'re a Wraith. You should have killed her and consumed her soul]

\'And then what? What about her body?\'

[Who cares? This was the perfect time for you to start a rampage- To start gobbling up souls and becoming a decadent force to be reckoned with.]

\'*Sigh* Shut up and let me rest my eyes\'

*Bang*

The sound was so sudden that Evian sat up while his eyes went over to the doors to his room where the sound had come from.

Lord Stygian stood between the doors with his arms wide and a grin on his face.

"WAKE UP SON!"

The voice was so loud that it caused Evian to wince.

"I\'m awake," he said.

"Haha, indeed you are"

As Lord Stygian walked towards Evian\'s bed, he seemed to perceive a scent- one that his mind associated with the aftermath of a passionate affair but he shook his head almost as soon as the thought came to his mind.

\'No way that happened here. Evian\'s not yet at that level.

Haha, he wasn\'t at that level even before he lost his memory\' Lord Stygian thought.

"Why are you here?" Evian asked.

He didn\'t particularly have a connection to the man standing before him and wasn\'t sure exactly how to react to his smile and enthusiasm.

"Well, Daria told us you\'re safe now. By us, I mean, your Mother and myself, obviously"

"Obviously"

Lord Stygian nodded and continued.

"She also mentioned that you retained your sudden strength increase. She\'s not clear how that happened but honestly, it doesn\'t matter, all that matters is that it did."

"Okay, so what now?" Evian asked.

Lord Stygian raised a brow.

"What do you mean by \'what now\'? We\'re going to train, of course. Gauge your capabilities and finally get you started on the path of a Knight. You\'re well behind already"

"Oh," Evian said.

*Clap* *Clap*

Lord Stygian clapped sharply twice.

"Alright then, get up, get dressed, and let\'s go," he said.

Evian sighed.

\'Oh, what the hell, why not? I\'ve been curious about what I can do anyway\'

Evian was about to get out of bed when he remembered he was naked and only covered by his bed covers.

"Lord Stygian, could you wait outside please?"

"Call me Father, son. And of course, I\'ll give you your privacy. Don\'t keep me waiting though"

Lord Stygian turned around and walked out of the room. The doors closed behind him and with a sigh, Evian got out of bed and cast a look at the discarded purple robes he had worn to the feast yesterday.

\'No way I have to wear that again, right?\'

Evian started looking around his massive room- Actually observing it for the first time. He searched for some sort of compartment for clothes and his eyes fell on a small door.

He walked over to the door and pulled it open and of course, it was packed with clothes and shoes.

"Ah there you are," he said with a smile.

The clothes had similar robe styles to the one Evian wore to the feast and he had paid enough attention to the maids putting it on him yesterday to know the proper way to put on the blue one he picked out at random.

Once dressed, he walked towards the door and it opened to let him out. He met Lord Stygian standing there with a smile.

"Good, let\'s go. The longer we wait, the more likely your mother arrives and tries to put a stop to this"

"Why would she?" Evian asked but even as the words left his lips, the answer came to him based on how Lady Myrine had always acted with him so far.

"She\'s just a tad overprotective. It\'s even worse now since you just came back from the dead and all" the dark-haired man said with a smile as he led the way.

Lord Stygian led them past the dense collection of buildings in the Estate and as they walked, Evian took the time to look around and observe.

Everywhere they passed, the guards around would bow to them and the respect in their tone as they addressed Lord Stygian, went beyond that of an employee to an employer. The tall dark-haired man just deemed to command a level of respect that could only come through power and multiple demonstrations of said power.

Eventually, they arrived at their destination.

It was a wide space- A stage with racks all around. Every one of those racks was lined with all kinds of weapons. From swords to spears to shields, to daggers, and even bows and arrows.

Adrian was in the middle of the Arena swinging around a sword and looking truly in the moment. The moment he saw his father approaching, he stopped.

"Hello, Father. Come to watch me train?" he asked with a smile and then his eyes fell on Evian and the smile turned into a frown.

"No, Adrian. But it\'s good you\'re here. Have Evian test his strength against you" Lord Stygian said.

Adrian seemed to freeze for a moment and then a smile stretched across his face.

"Seriously?" he asked.

Lord Stygian nodded.

"Of Course. Who better to initiate Evian to Knightdom than his Elder brother"

The more Lord Stygian spoke, the more sinister Adrian\'s smile became which in turn made Evian frown.

\'This sick bastard is planning to beat me to a pulp, isn\'t he?\'

"As you wish Father," Adrian said with a small bow, "Come on, brother, get on the stage"

Evian hesitated.

"Don\'t worry son, Adrian will take it easy on you. Won\'t you, Adrian?" Lord Stygian asked.

Adrian shrugged with a smirk.

"I\'ll try my best, Father but you know how it is. Anything can happen in the heat of the moment"

Lord Stygian frowned.

"Limit yourself to the First Order," he said with authority that wiped the smirk off Adrian\'s face.

"Yes, Father," he said.

\'Eh, he can\'t possibly handle the abilities of the First Order anyway- Especially not if I limit my strength to the moment before a breakthrough to the Second Order\' Adrian reasoned with his cruel smile returning.

With a sigh, Evian stepped onto the stage and put himself about three feet away from Adrian.

"Weapons?" Adrian asked Evian while using his sword to gesture at the array of weapons around the stage.

Evian shook his head.

"Nah, I can\'t use any of that," he said.

\'Besides, why should I allow you to have something pointy to stab me with\' he added in his mind.

With a shrug, Adrian tossed the sword in his hand aside and took on a fighting stance.

"Here I come"

With that warning, Adrian dashed towards Evian with his fist.

Evian saw him coming- The movement was slow to his eyes and once Adrian\'s fist was a foot away, he moved to the side to sidestep before he delivered a blow to Adrian\'s ribs.

"Ah"

Adrian grabbed his side with a frown before he tried to swing his arm into Evian\'s face.

Again, Evian saw the arm coming slow and with a smile, he ducked under it and punched Adrian\'s ribs a second time.

This time he packed even more strength into the blow and had his brother sliding at least three feet away from him with a look of realization.

\'Th- This Brat-\'

Lord Stygian was watching it all with attentive eyes. He saw Adrian miss twice and Evian deliver well-timed blows the same number of times and he nodded with satisfaction.

"Adrian" he called out, "The Second Order."

With a grin, the pressure coming off Adrian\'s body increased but Evian met the increased pressure with a smile knowing full well he could take it.

Evian clenched his fists.

"Come at me. I\'m aiming for your face next"
