I am so dead

Team Shadow Wolves were escorted by guards inside the palace, where they were greeted by maid who then led them to infirmary inside the palace for treatment for any kind of ailments they were inflicted during their time inside those ruins.

Jessie with a satisfied smile on her face spoke, "Ah this is life after taking bath in those freaking huge bathrooms using hot water it is totally awesome. But still Long Yu is a prince who knew."

Ruth: "Yeah a few hours ago we were facing an assault and kidnapping attempts by Immortals, and now out of know where Long Yu's elder sisters came and rescued us to think they were some form of royalty. I do not know what to think of it, moreover I also doubt it was even his real name."

Jack who was now dressed up in new clothes provided by the maids could not help but ask curiously, "What do mean by that?"

Ruth sighed as he replied, "While you guys were busy taking in the sight and scenery of the palace I accidently noticed the lady who claimed to be his Grand Mother greeting him and his sisters as if she was their subordinate, as such I deduced that his name might not even be Long Yu."

Tina frowned as he asked, "Why would he do that?"

Ruth shrugged at the question but it was Bashista who answered her query, "It is very simple my beloved wife they did not want to draw any kind of attention from bad people, who might try to harm him in order to get back at his sisters."

At that everyone nodded in understanding before Veronica drew their attention to a very urgent matter, "Does anyone know where Han is?"

At that everyone shook their head negatively, Han was a good man he was like a gentle giant who usually spoke less but this excursion cost him one of his eye, causing their mood to plummet a little.

Suddenly they heard the sound of door being opened, they turned their face to see the smiling face of Han, but what shocked them was he had both his eyes.

Jack: "How, how do you have both of your eyes? we saw one your eye getting destroyed during the attack."

Han just smiled as he replied in his unique way, "GOOD HEALERS."

His teammates soon surrounded him as they hugged him patted his back some even shed a few tears of joy, they were happy their teammate no their family member had recovered from the terrible ordeal that he had suffered.

As they chatted and gossiped about the new situation they were put into they were approached by another maid who invited and escorted them to the dining hall, they were told to sit on respective chairs.

They did not have to wait as a guard heralded the arrival of the Empress herself followed closely by First and Second Princess and Prince himself, they stood up as they bowed to the royal family before taking their sits after getting permission from Antariskh.

Antariskh: "We know you all have some questions in your mind, but first let us introduce yourselves to you, our name is Antariskh and we are the head of the Shangri-La Pavilion, on our right side is our younger sister Sylvana and on our left is our youngest sister Shamiran, you all have met our baby brother Ryuu, whom we had purposely warned to never use his real name until the trial was over because of security purposes as well as learning experience.", she took a short break in order to let her words sink in their guests mind, "However before you may all begin with your questions please allow us to show our gratitude by accepting this humble gifts as a token of appreciation for helping our brother transverse through the trial."

A few guards came by as they carried trays which were covered, they placed those trays in front of each member of the team Shadow Wolves, as they covers were raised they found a space ring which had been crafted very beautifully with intricate patterns on them.

Antariskh gave a small smile as she spoke, "Please accept this gift, just put a drop of your blood and send you Ki into it, this space ring will appear as a tattoo on your finger and will appear only if you will it, the space ring and its contents are yours."

The Shadow Wolves were startled at that the space ring contained various precious medicinal pills as well as exotic talisman in huge quantity, not to mention all those other type of resources it held, it was enough to safely help them to break through to Void Immortal level at least.

Bashista: "Your Highness I must thank you for this gift but I also would love protest that it is too much, Prince Ryuu has protected us many times, if it were not for him we would have died, as such we cannot accept your gifts."

Antariskh just smiled at him as she replied, "Nonsense, we know about our brother's performance and we could aptly say that our brother was lucky to meet amazing people like you, you all helped him to get through this trials by supporting him in more than one times as such please accept it as our token of appreciation."

Bashista as well as his team gave a light bow as he replied back, "Than we the Shadow Wolves would humbly accept you gift your Majesty."

Soon they were busy with small talks, before the team was escorted to Head Quarters of the Vera planet branch of Shangri-La. Ryuu hugged each of them thanking them, with tearful eyes, it felt to him as if he was leaving behind his family, as the entire time spend with them flowed in their minds the first day the met, how he saved their life from being drenched in venom, standing up against a crown prince, fighting a corrupt Alchemist, the Spider Empress, Hydra, and his rampage against those scum, and lastly when he almost died. The Shadow Wolves did a group hug with Ryuu, all of their eyes red from tears, "I promise I will try to keep in touch with you all."

Jack: "You better brother, or I will find you and beat the crap out of you."

Jessie: "Yeah and I hope to get to go into another exciting adventure with you."

Ryuu beamed a happy smile at that, "You bet me too."

With that they parted with sad smile on their face but with a hope that they would be together in a new adventure.

Soon they reached Ayindril, Ryuu could not wait to meet his mother, but before he could go to meet is mother he was escorted to meet his teacher by his older sisters, who had a stony visage, Ryuu could feel they were angry at something but they did not let it slip past their lips no matter what Ryuu asked.

He was escorted inside a room where his master greeted him but some of them were smiling too sweetly for his liking. Sylvana tapped at his neck taking the array off, but before he could adjust to his emotions, a very heavy force slammed at him as well as killing intent so thick that he could smell blood and see his death enveloped him, he could practically see some of his teachers' eyes practically smoldering with anger.

Celestia spoke her voice filled with anger as well as disappointment, "Now then how should we punish an impudent brat who had the audacity to steal and learn a taboo technique not meant for him."

Meanwhile Ryuu was shaking like a lone leaf in front of a hurricane, as single thought ran through his mind, 'I am so dead, I am so dead, I am so dead.'
