RISE OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR - Chapter 148 Aftermath

Percy’s treatment lasted a full half n hour. His body had been depleted of energy due to the intense fight and his last move had burnt his very blood essence to summon the forbidden spell which lead to him becoming extremely weak.

Under those circumstances he was in no position to withstand the impact from Ronan’s attack as he passed out cold.

As his consciousness faded his heart was left with a deep regret as to how in the end he was still unable to contain his little brother.

A few minutes before he regained consciousness, Percy’s mind became active again as Percy started to feel dissapointed in himself for the loss.

It was an indescribable feeling for him as for the last few months he had trained like a madman for this one match.

He had thought of countless scenarios where he had a plan to counter every one of ronans moves however in the end , all the planning all the scheming was for nothing as Ronan triumphed regardless.

The worst part was , that although Percy wanted to desperately beleive that it was a close fight , in reality it was not.

From the point of view of a citizen of Avalon in the stands , it was a brilliant fight where both competitors gave it their all before one became the winner. However the truth was , Ronan gained the upper-hand in the fight thrice! but let the advantage slip by._.

He was never fighting at full potential and the only reason why most of Percy’s plans worked the way they did was because Ronan let him do his tricks.

Ronans approach to the fight from the start was the same. He let Percy throw everything he had at him and still walked out of the fight on his feet.

despair filled Percy’s heart as he blamed the heavens to bless his younger brother with unbelievable talent.

If only he had a little better aptitude to handle mana , a little better element than the basic fire, then he beleived that he could be much better than Ronan was.

As Percy woke up , he internally felt like making a fuss about his loss , but before he had the chance to utter a single word a tight slap resounded on his cheek

SLAP!

Percy was shocked, he reflexively took fighting stance only to see that the slap was from Sierra.

Percy became incredible confused as to what was going on, but as he stared at his mother with confused wide eyes , 2 more slaps landed quickly on his face as Sierra glared a hole down Percy’s soul.

Percy could not dare to look into Sierra’s eyes as he looked towards the floor in fear as he mustered shakily ” Wh-why?”

Percy looked around to see that the medical staff and the head doctor were equally confused however none of them dared to interrupt the raging queen.

” WHY? YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO ASK ME WHY? ” Sierra grabbed Percy by the collar as she pulled him in closer.

” just how far into your obsession have you fallen? JUST HOW PATHETIC HAVE U BECOME? WHY?

USING FORBIDDEN MOVES THAT CAN DAMAGE UR BROTHERS LIFE ! AND ASKING ME WHY? “

SLAP!!!!!

Sierra absolutely lost it as she hit Percy hard on the cheeks.

Percy had no retort, even after waking up,he did not introspected why he used a forbidden move on his brother.

Of course he knew it was dangerous, restricted and something that he should have never used against Ronan , nor did he initially plan to.

However infront of hundereds of thousands cheering his name , as well as his own desire to prove that he was the best , Percy lost the sense of his decency and his love for Ronan as his elder brother , as he tried to harm him.

Sierra’s reaction gave a clear idea to Percy about how wrong he was in doing this as this was only the third time in his life that his mother had slapped him , and never this hard either.

Sierra said” You are the elder brother ! you are the shield of this family. The brother who stood against mountain lions to protect his Baby brother!

THAT WAS MY SON! the son I raised , MY PERCY!

I DONT KNOW THIS TRASH WHO USES DEMONIC MOVES ON HIS OWN BROTHER !

To hell with ur win , to hell with ur loss , I would never care for it. For me both of u are number one always however today u’ve lost in the real world as a brother and a human.

Today it’s attacking to win a tournament, tommorow u eye his wife , day after his money and then assassinate him to take it all over!

WHAT ARE U THINKING? “

Percy felt that sierra was exaggerating, he would never willingly harm Ronan . however just as he thought this he choked. As he did try to actually willingly hurt his brother.

Percy felt his soul tremble when he let the doubt creep in.

He had thought about a lot of things , however never did he expect that in the pursuit to power , he would lose his own selflessness and loving nature.

Contemplating , Percy became guilty about the shit he tried to pull with his own brother.

Sierra continued ” I never want to see u and Ronan fight again , u understand? ur my right hand and he is my left and both my hands work in synergy, not beating each other up!

promise me crown prince Percy Draco, no matter what happens, you will never fight ur brother again ! “

Percy felt like he was choking on his saliva however not wanting to antagonize his already steaming mother , Percy had no choice but to say yes.

He said ” I’m sorry mom , it won’t happen again , Ronan is better than me , I don’t think I will ever surpass him again.

I did my best , but he was the better Man …. he-he is talented for sure”.

Sierra did not offer any words of comfort as she looked at Percy coldly. In the end she only said ” It’s not me you owe an apology to ….
