THE RETURN OF THE BULLIED TWIN

THE RETURN OF THE BULLIED TWIN

"Well, our real enemy is the demon army and they have been repelled for now and the situation in Drachia kingdom has stabilized. It is time for me to reveal the truth to you", I told them.

"You reveal this because you don't want to be married to me?" Princess Xene asked me.

"Princess Xene, you are a wonderful girl. I am actually much older than you even if I don't look like that to you. I also have five wives already. I return the real Oriese to you. You will have a choice whether you want to be with him in the future or not. That is up to you", I told the princess who was still in shock by my revelations.

"This is a disaster. After all you did in Oriese's name, what will happen to our family if the world knows you are fake?" Prince Geoffraie asked me.

"Well, we have a choice here. I can return Oriese to you and let him take over with all that I achieved here", I said to them.

"My son will not survive a day with all the enemies you made in his name", Orol scolded me angrily.

"Yes, it is difficult for Oriese to carry his own name now", Prince Geoffraie said.

"The alternative is, I'll continue my alter ego as Oriese. The real Oriese can take on another identity, maybe as my long-lost twin brother and return to school in Tarah city. He can also take over the Kaleon family in time", I told them.

"Long lost twin?" Orol asked.

"No way you can steal my name", Oriese protested to me furiously.

"Oriese, there is something that you may not know. After I took your identity, I've increased the wealth of your Kaleon family more than a hundred times and your father's dream of becoming a part of the Mithridocus again has been fulfilled. I do not owe you anything", I told Oriese when he started counting the wealth of his family now.

Orol thought about the matter for some time.

"I'll agree to this. As long as my son is safe. I've also not lost anything from this deception. In fact, I've gained a lot more", Orol said to me finally.

"Alright, Oriese may return to the best magic school in Tarah city. He will also get the best materials for his magic training", I told them.

"Son, you can't bully people now. Your bullying got you into this in the first place", Orol told his son.

"You don't have to worry about Oriese's bullying anymore, I have a handler to make sure he behaves well", I told them when a girl walked in holding a small whip.

"Saye, is that you?" Oriese asked the girl.

"You make sure to behave yourself from now or else", Saye told Oriese as she held the whip on her hands and whipped it.

"What shall we call Oriese now? The real Oriese?" Princess Xenne asked me.

"We'll call Oriese, Erriese. Erriese is the name of another son of mine who died at birth not long after Oriese was born", Orol told us revealing about a sad chapter in his family's history.

"I'll use back the name Oriese in public for the mean time and I'll continue to use Oriese' face for a while before I find a reason to change it", I replied to them.

Then Orol looked at me strangely with something to say.

"I've been through much with you, Oriese. Even if you are not my real son, I don't mind becoming your adoptive father", Orol said to me and asked.

"I won't mind becoming your adoptive father-in-law too", Prince Geoffraie said to me.

"Sorry to disappoint you guys, I could be much older than the two of you combined but we can still be friends", I replied to them to their disappointment.

"Breaking news …. Breaking news"

"The Bully of Starri is a really a bastard"

"The Bully of Starri kept his twin brother in prison and tortured him for years"

"The Bully of Starri has a twin brother, Erriese"

"Lord Oriese, it is good to see you again. I heard much has happened to your family recently", Gagarine the merchant of Trogdol greeted me.

"Much has changed in Drachia kingdom recently. What is the situation in Trogdol now?" I asked the merchant.

"There are militias and skeletons remaining in our cities although they seldom go to the countryside. We destroyed all the existing roads to the country and established our own secret routes. The militia and skeletons have not disturbed us ever since", Gagarine told me.

Previously, Gagarine's friends were taken by skeleton militias in Uralis city after they went too close to the skeleton infested city. After I rescued him from the city and killed the new Lich King, Gagarine returned to the countryside.

"Do you have the new harvest to sell to us?" I asked Gagarine.

"We do but this will probably be the last time we are doing business", Gagarine told me disappointedly and regrettably.

"Why is that?" I asked him.

"The cold and freeze have reached Trogdol's countryside. Our crops are finding it hard to survive the eternal winter", Gagarine told me.

"I know about that. Here take these", I said to him and brought out several lanterns that emitted a fiery aura.

"What are these?" Gagarine asked me interestedly.

"They are called Radiance of Agni. The lanterns will kill the frost for a long distance, probably enough to cover a small farm", I told him.

"I know of this artifact. It cost millions of Aurs selling at the auction. We can't afford it even if we wanted to. Besides the lantern could at most provide heat to a small farm which is not enough for our use", Gagarine told me and explained his predicament.

"Take them, it's a gift from me. You don't have to pay for them", I told him.

"Thank you. These lanterns can keep a small farm growing but even this won't save the rest of our crops, but it'll help us enormously", Gagarine lamented and told me sadly.
