Dawn Of Legend:Rise Of An Extra - Chapter 259 259:First Step To Her Cure

Chapter 259 259:First Step To Her Cure

In the floating Royal Palace.

A man walked to and fro with an anxious expression while biting his fingers due to nervousness.

A woman sat on the couch while looking at the man’s stupidity.

Seeing the man behaving like that, she was unable to take it anymore.

“Kevin, stop biting your nails for God’s sake. Did you ditch all your etiquette?” A cold voice echoed in the room.

“Royal mother, it’s not as if he has any.” Ellen muttered with a yawn.

“He is the same. If not being forced to sit here, he might have already left the throne, Mother.” William, the first prince, spoke with a sigh.

“Yeah, he might have already dumped the throne on us.” The Second Prince Micheal spoke.

Willam was Julian’s biological brother who looked almost similar to her except for their eyes. Micheal was born to Kevin’s second wife Roxana and inherited his mother’s looks of golden hair with crystal clear pale oceanic eyes.

Except for his bloodline power, he didn’t inherit any features of his stupid father, something he was very proud of.

Kevin suddenly stopped his notion and pulled back his hands and looked at the frosty expression on his wife and sons.

“Ileana, I am just nervous. I am not an Emperor now. I am just a father now.”

Ileana sighed on hearing his words. Being an Empress, the mother of the nation, she had to practice extreme diligence and patience to the point that it was tiring and made her yearn to have some freedom but with such a person messing around, if she didn’t hold the power firmly, who knows if her husband sold the entire Emperor next day.

“I am also her mother. Even though we are worried about her welfare, we shouldn’t show it on our faces. If she saw our nervousness, how would she feel? We are just going to add more burden on her shoulders.”

“If not for her illness, we would have already let go of the facade of fighting for the throne.” William smacked his lips.

Ileana’s lips twitched hearing this and stared at her three son’s expressions and sighed.

‘Like father, like son. All of them want to be lazy bums. Thankfully my Julian isn’t like them.’

“Yeah, My Empress you are right. I haven’t thought about it properly.”

“When the hell do you even think?” Ileana snorted and started scolding her sons.

“Stop behaving like your lazy father. He is just an incompetent fool who likes to law around. Don’t take him as your role model.”

“What do you mean by incompetent fool?” Kevin asked coldly.

As both started to bicker with each other, their anxiety decreased by a bit and with a clunking sound, they heard light footsteps coming toward them.

The moment they saw the figure, the three brothers’ eyes lit up and they jumped up on the figure.

“My sister.”

“My sweetie.”

“Wait!” Julian took a step back in fear.

The three pounced on her and hugged her.

“Sister, you have suffered in my absence.” William and Micheal spoke at the same time, then realizing that they spoke the same thing, they glared at each other.

“She loves me more.”

“No, she likes me more.”

‘She loves me the most.’ Ellen nodded inside with a sweet smile.

They started to argue but Ileana threw the three of them away and clung to Julian like an octopus.

“My precious girl. You have grown thin.”

“Things had been hard for you.” Ileana’s eyes became moist as she hugged Julian.

When Julian was going through difficult times, she was unable to accompany her cause she had to stop a demoness from coming here.

And it was hard, so hard that she felt that she might not be able to return alive. Fortunately, Leonard appeared in time to suffer her wrath.

As Julian was showered with the love of her family, the curtains of the window started fluttering and a figure appeared in everyone’s view.

“Old man, so you are finally here.” Kevin asked in a disgruntled voice.

Cough…Cough…

Opening the window pane, a man appeared with long white hair and a thick beard that cascaded down his neck.

His long hair spread over his shoulders and even though his face was hidden by a thick beard it wasn’t able to hide his delicate features giving him the look of an elderly gentleman.

His eyes were as sharp as a sword as if they could see through every facade.

“Grandpa Douglas!” Julian and the Three Princes spoke in an excited tone.

“Old man, what took you so long? Aren’t you ashamed of chasing skirts at this age?”

“What do you mean by that?” Douglas asked in a murderous tone.

“I mean what I said. I knew you were chasing the waitress of the inn. Old Josh found you. You are already 500 years old and going after young ones. Aren’t you a pedo?” Kevin asked angrily.

“Shut up!” Douglas threw his magic staff at Kevin who lunged forward to catch it.

“Fuck! Have you gone insane? It’s made from the wood of the world tree, not some ordinary tree.” Kevin muttered in disbelief.

“I was just passing it to you.” Douglas said, caressing his beard.

“Can you stop now?”

Douglas and Kevin felt a killing intent and turned around to see Ileana giving them a death smile.

“Sir Douglas, do you want me to call Lady Irina and Kevin, do you want to be punished?”

Both Douglas and Kevin felt a chin down their spine and kept their lips mum.

“Mother, don’t be harsh.” Julian said, shaking her head. These two bicker a lot.

He nodded and looked at Julian, “My granddaughter had grown up quite big. I repent for missing the chance to watch you grow.”

Douglas spoke with a nostalgic tone.

“How is Horizon?” He asked.

Kevin’s lips twitched a little.

“You should ask that to Old Josh. You are the Principal of Horizon but you are dumping your work and running all around the world.”

Douglas averted his eyes as he saw Kevin’s glare.

“Old thief, I suggest you take a look cause it seems sooner it will burn to ashes.”

“Sir Douglas, how many days will you be staying here this time?” Ileana asked.

“Not much but I have got a few days,” Douglas replied with a courteous smile.

“Then please teach me a few things, Grandpa.” William and Micheal spoke at the same time.

Ellen at that moment was already looking for a way to sneak out but was held in by his two brothers.

“Certainly, this time I will teach you some awesome things.”

The moment he spoke, a frown appeared on Julian and Ileana’s faces clearly worried about the things he was going to teach.

Kevin then pulled Douglas aside and showed him diary.

Douglas went over the things and spoke.

“We have a problem.”

“What is it? Is there a problem with the Magic Circle?” Kevin asked.

“Not that. This is just drawn in Ancient language. I can handle that but the dragon part is the problem.” Douglas, seeing a frown on Kevin’s face, answered.

“Kevin, I can guess that you are ready to kill the dragon but it’s not that easy. Though it is a rule that once a dragon leaves the nest without permission it would be excommunicated but that and this is a different matter. If you just go and kill it, with the egos on their head you would be in some deep shit.”

Kevin’s expression turned solem for a moment.

“So, should I just let my daughter suffer?”

“No, you need to take their permission and negotiate. As long as you give them some things, they won’t create much trouble for discarded members but if you kill a member of their species without prior information, it would hurt their ego and mess things up.” Douglas explained and then turned around.

“Let’s not waste any more time. We should start the process.” Douglas spoke and looked at Julian.

“Are you ready for it?”

Julian nodded.

Kevin took out the prepared mixture as mentioned in the list.

Douglas looked at the violent mixture carefully and pulled out a long pen-shaped bone that was emitting fumes.

“Is that the engraver?” Juliana asked.

“Hmmm!”

“Julian, it’s gonna hurt a lot.” Douglas warned her before proceeding forward.

“I am ready,” Julian muttered with a resolute gaze and loosened her straps and exposed her delicate back.

Meanwhile, Douglas noted down the principles carefully and sat down behind Julian.

Dipping the engraver in the mixture, he took a deep breath and moved the tip to touch Julian’s skin.

“Ahhh!” ‘A small groan escaped from her lips as she felt a scorching heat that was burning her skin.

As soon as the engraver touched Julian’s icy cold skin small fumes of vapour emerged.

Douglas started to draw the circle.

Julian gnashed her teeth and clenched her fist to contain the pain that transmitted to her brain.

Her eyes became watery and her nails dug into her palms from where drops of blood trickled.

“Julian!” Ileana muttered softly as she saw Julian’s back becoming red and the place where the circle was drawn seemed to swell.

She was about to stand up and ask Douglas to stop but Kevin held her hands tightly and shook his head to stop her.

Meanwhile, Julian’s brothers stood there gnashing their teeth seeing Julian wriggling back from which drops of blood were trickling.

After drawing for two hours, Douglas wiped off the sweat from his head while looking at Julian who seemed to pass out from the pain but the tingling sensation of burning skin accompanied by a strong itch didn’t let her fall unconscious.

As soon as the circuit was finished, it started to operate and Julian’s back started to glow brightly.

“Old man, what happened? Did something go wrong?” Kevin asked with a panicked expression.

“Hohohoho!” Douglas laughed a little while caressing his beard.

“It seems that our precious doll is going to make a breakthrough.” Douglas spoke with a faint smile, shocking Kevin and Ileana.

“The shackles that had been holding you back are no more. So, my girl, it’s time for you to spread your wings and soar towards the sky.”

With a loud cracking sound, a fierce breath radiated from Julian that illuminated the entire place.
