Belenus

After a brief silence, he now had to show a childish attitude to remove any suspicion Raion might have about his attitude. Raising his head slightly with a worried and confused look he asked the Duke.

"Was my answer incorrect?"

"No. On the contrary, it was extremely satisfactory and correct".

"Thank you, Duke."

At his son's words, Raion showed hints of sadness in his eyes.

"You can call me 'father' for now. Our family members may have gathered in this castle to welcome me, but my visit here is purely for personal reasons".

"Yes, father".

Raion smiled faintly as he looked at his son.

In the blink of an eye, all signs of satisfaction disappeared from his face. As his aloof and indifferent expression returned, Raion asked his son another question.

"What is this special power you used to defeat your brothers that they talked about?"

"I don't know either."

Raimon replied in a calm tone.

"You don't know?"

Raion raised his head. He had not expected this answer from his intelligent son, who had been giving satisfactory answers all this time.

"Yes, father. This power is not the blood aura, so I'm not sure what I should call it."

Once again, the flow of the conversation had been foreseen by Raimon. He had shown a childlike innocence on purpose, as he had done before.

Swoosh.

The sound of swirling yellow flames echoed. Raimon had generated a handful of yellow energy on his palm. It was the power he had used to strike the twins.

He had obtained this power, the Spiritual Power, through tests in his mental world at the moment he awakened his bloodline during the ritual, the Sun God was the one who granted him this power during the last test he performed. Despite acting like an ignorant child, Raimon truly did not know what this power was.

He also wondered if Raion would recognize this power.

"May I ask father to give this power a name?"

Raimon looked at Raion with sparkling eyes.

Raion gasped for the first time since he reached his power level and became a true holy-class fighter.

"Lord Belenus..."

He finally managed to shut his mouth. As he looked at his son's palm, Raion swallowed saliva.

Could it be that this child was the reincarnation of the founder and first Duke of the clan? Such questions flashed through his mind as Raion thought to himself.

Belenus. The God of the sun. A being that all warriors and knights long for.

However, Raion and Raimon were aware of a different truth.

Originally, Belenus did not specialize in physical power but was something akin to a God of Swords. Moreover, more than a thousand years ago, he had made a contract with the founder of the family during the Duchy's most dangerous time and had protected the Flowers for years.

However, after the founder's death, everyone thought he had abandoned the Duchy since the founder passed away.

"But he seems to have taken an interest in my youngest son."

Could this be a sign that the Flowers might rise again and prosper in the future?

No, it was also possible that the god who had once abandoned them had returned on a whim, and would soon leave again. Raion began to calculate the possibilities as he watched the burning flames dance across Raimon's palm.

"I'm sure he hasn't made a contract with the god yet."

"If he has obtained this power through the contract, it is impossible for him not to know what power it is."

Raimon could not easily guess the thoughts going through his father's mind.

He began to get a little nervous, as everything had gone according to his plan. It was too easy. He thought Raion would show some suspicion at some point, but that moment never came. Perhaps it was because of his young age and childish appearance.

Six years old was an excellent period for lying and deceiving people. In my former world tenderness at this age always helped to get out of crises.

"My son."

Raion had finished sorting out his thoughts.

"Yes, father."

"That is the power of a god named Belenus. Therefore, I cannot name him. Lord Belenus is one of the secrets our clan has kept hidden for a long time."

"Belenus..."

"He is the being who brought the sun into this world. You may be an intelligent child, but you are still too young to understand this."

"It is the..."

When Raimon paused, Raion nodded to urge him to continue.

"Is the god Belenus stronger than the father?"

"Haha..."

Raion let out an awkward laugh that signified his defeat. He had never laughed like this since he was preparing to become a demigod.

Having devoted his time and energy to his training for countless years, his emotions and spirit had been stirred for the first time in a long time.

"I wonder... Your father has never tried to challenge the gods, so I can't say."

A truly proud answer. Not knowing the answer for never having fought against the gods.

After the internal war of all the intelligent races for territory and riches after expelling the mighty monsters, many Gods and demi-Gods of all races fell or went into hiding disappearing from public view.

However, Raimon shuddered when he heard his father's answer. The person in question was Raion Flower.

The strongest man in the Empire after the Semi-God Taranis was his grandfather.

Not even the chief of the rival clans could compare to this man.

Smile.

Raion showed a toothy smile.

"I made the right decision to come and meet you today. Your naive question has become a great subject of interest to me. Thank you, my son. Come closer."

Could I win against a god? Raion had called this question a "topic of interest."

Once Raimon approached him, his father patted him lightly on the head. The handful of solar flames still swirled in Raimon's palm at this point.

"How do you want to use this power?"
