The Cheat Seed - Chapter 40
He had teammates now!!. Actual friends, who’ll look after him!!.
He knew deep inside that he was Maturing.
Maturing into someone who was good at leading….
It was the first time he had ever made friends, except for Dave, They had a strong brother bond already during their childhood. He snapped when he remembered about Dave.
He wanted to meet him and catch up to the past two years.
Marcus slowly walked towards the basement, he took the stairs which went down instead of the stairs which went towards his room.
He reached the end and paused at athe door for a second. Marcus reached out to the door knob and turned it open. He slowly went inside and picked his two sisters up first. He then jolted in sound breaking speed to their room and slowly laid Iris on her bed and Evy on her Cradle. Evy twitched a little but went silent again when Marcus massaged her forehead.
He then went back to the basement and picked his mom up in both of his hands. The Sleep magic hadn’t worn off yet. He came back to the basement in a second after laying her down on her bed. He picked dad up and walked towards the door. He closed the door behind and passed the hall to his parents room.
His mom was already there where he had laid her and Marcus laid his dad slowly beside her.
To break a Sleep magic all a person had to do was produce a loud voice enough to wake them up. Marcus sighed and chuckled when he realized they slept through the whole destruction of the house to the repairing of it.
Marcus brought his hands down together
*Clap*
The sound produced was equal to that of the largest thunder crack.
Albert and Reiren sprang up from their bed and took an attack stance. Iris screamed from the other side and Evy cried.
Because the area where he lived was almost an abandoned land, they only had few neighbors, that too 40 meters away from theirs. Was it even legal to call them Neighbours. They were literally in the next town from theirs.
Marcus dashed to the other room and carried Evy and Iris in each of his hands. Evy went silent and laid her head on his left shoulder when Iris rubbed her eyes and then saw it was her brother and quickly went back to sleep on his right shoulder.
Albert and Reiren stared at him blankly.
“You guys slept through the whole day! haha”
Marcus broke the awkward silence with his cute chuckle.
“What’s the time now??”
Albert asked Reiren.
Reiren closed her eyes and then quickly opened them. She had Location magic as well as Awareness, knowing the time was easy as picking a stone for her.
Reiren widened her eyes and looked at Albert.
“It’s already 6 pm in the evening”
she slowly whispered to Albert.
They both stood still on their bed when they realized how they had slept more than halfway through their returnee son’s 18th birthday!!!!!!!!!.
They thought Marcus would be angry with them, but he was smiling and chuckling at his little sisters on his hands.
“Why don’t we celebrate the rest of the day then??”
Marcus asked to his dumbfounded parents who were still discussing how they all slept late till the evening.
They both turned their heads to Marcus’s side and then nodded in agreement. They still had the surprise party at Aaron’s place.
Albert and Reiren went to freshen up. Marcus shook his little sisters and woke them up.
“We are going out Iry(Iris) wake up and Evy you too.”
Both of them snapped out of their sleep when they heard they were going out. Iris stepped down and Marcus gave Evy to her arms.
“Get ready quick, Brother will get you that Chocolate Icecream you asked yesterday, today!!”
Marcus said as he bent a little, keeping his hands on his knees.
Iris smiled as she got pumped up and cradled Evy to their room.
Marcus went to his room to freshen up again. He smacked his forehead when he realized he hadn’t changed the his dirty dress. He thanked the dim light for not ruling him out. Within a second he was out of the dress and into the shower.
After five minutes he was out again, He dried his hair within a second with the friction he produced with his towel. He took a Nine tailed Fox tail hair from his inventory and tied his hair in a different style from the morning.
His Hair exceeded his shoulder length by centimeters. Taking the Fox Tail hair, he tied his smooth hair back into a Manbun. He let Two slim and long strands of hair fall over to his face’s right side.
He opened his wardrobe and reached his hands inside to grab a pencil fit jeans. He wore the Jean’s quickly and wore another sleeveless sweatshirt on his torso. He picked a black hoodie from the wardrobe and wore it quickly.
The Hoodie had buttons which only went till his chest. He spread it open revealing his chests a bit and a sliver of the black sweatshirt under it.
He picked a toothpick from the shelf beside his mirror and placed it between his smooth lips. He would have something to play with on his travel and playing with the toothpick in his mouth was what he liked to do the most when he used to walk back home after The Acdemic classes.
Marcus heard his parents call him from downstairs. They were ready. Marcus bolted through his room and appeared behind them.
He gave his Family the biggest scare that day when he whispered boo into his dad’s ear.
….
The Horse driven carriage was outside their gate by the time they closed their doors.
(Remember Normal Earthly animals are still present in this world but they are the weakest of them all, Even an Elephant is not a match for a newborn baby.)
The Family of 5 got inside the carriage one by one. Iris and Evy were at the open window side and Reiren was beside them. Marcus sat beside his mom and finally Albert got inside the carriage and closed the door beside him.
The travel started and none of them spoke to each other. They had already wished Marcus the birthday wishes when they were in the living room after the huge jumpscare.
They got to the Capital city and Marcus looked in awe at the Emperor’s Huge statue. They were going to cross the Emperors circle over to the seaside where Dave’s Villa was situated.
“That Old Geezer”
Marcus snickered beside his Dad.
“What Son?”
He asked
“Nothing, just thought about something”
came the reply.
The Carriage came to a sudden halt. Marcus peeked out of the carriage window along with his dad. They were stopped by one of the Kings Guards. Apparently the King was passing by the Circle over to his palace in the Capital and people were forbidden to cross his way.
Albert saw the King’s carriage and jumped out of the carriage. He dodged the King’s guard and ran towards the King’s carriage.
Marcus and the rest looked at him in surprise. Marcus couldn’t move because he couldn’t tell what his dad was planning but grinned when he remembered something. He slowly relaxed his back against the soft cushion beside his mom.
“What’s your dad doing son?”
She asked, a tinge of fear in her voice.
Marcus touched her hand.
“Don’t worry Mom, It’s okay”
Marcus flashed her an assuring smile.
Albert blocked the King’s carriage and shouted out to him.
“KING!!!”
He said as he looked behind at his carriage and at his smirking son who motioned him to proceed. The Kings soldiers ran towards Albert but the king recognized the man before him and ordered them to stay.
“MY SON’S BACK!!! AND HE’S READY FOR THE BATTLE”
