[City Of Aegis]
It was situated in the North Eastern region that was bathed heavily by snow in winter.
It took him almost a day to reach here as there was no direct railway connected to here. The nearest station to Aegis was Leonx City which is almost 400 kilometres away and Lucas had to ride a wagon till there.
Lucas didn't even take a step in but countless emotions and blurry memories flashed before his eyes.
The roads were covered with snow with few workers using shovels to clear the snow dirt on the road.
It was vastly different from the capital which was surrounded by high walls from all sides. The roads hadn't been well maintained and Lucas couldn't find a taxi or car in it.
Maybe it was due to the cold weather or it's just that the town was too small.
"Maybe it's too far and backward so there aren't many modern vehicles."
Lucas would occasionally find a few motorbikes but they were all old models, unlike the recent ones which had a nitro boost.
He felt as if he had come to the mediaeval period seeing the structure of the house which was mostly made of wood tiles.
Lucas didn't feel odd, rather it felt quite pleasant.
Lucas looked for a person and asked for directions to his locality.
After walking for around half an hour, Lucas finally entered the locality which he seemed familiar with.
However just as he entered, his pupils dilated and his body froze with uneasiness.
For a moment, he felt a chill down his spine seeing this.
His memory about this place was a bit blurred however as soon he looked around, he remembered the nightmares of deaths Future Lucas induced on him.
In one scenario, it was exactly this place infested by those strange dark creatures coming out from the crack of the sky.
Lucas' breathing became ragged as he sank into the dark abyssal of memories until a soft pleasant voice called for him.
"Lucas!"
He snapped out of his reverie hearing the loud voice.
Lucas' body wriggled a little as he suddenly saw many stares falling on him from all around as if he were a big shot.
'What the hell!' Lucas muttered inwardly as he looked around to see many people staring at him.
Some stood before their houses while some were peeking while hiding themselves.
'Should I greet them?'
Just as he thought that he saw a few well-maintained aunties running towards him.
"Oh my! It's Lucas."
"Gosh! You have developed into a charming Prince."
"Let me squeeze those cheeks of yours."
"Aunt Helena, Aunt Leila and Aunt Ella." Lucas blurted out
hurriedly, stepping back in fear after seeing their weird smiles.
It was a subconscious reaction as he tried to resist a dooming fate but he wasn't able to avert his fate of getting molested by the neighborhood aunts.
After getting assaulted by getting his cheek pinched to red, Lucas carrying things gifted by them walked to his home.
His own home…..
After Lucas left, the cheerful atmosphere calmed down.
"Oh My! Young Lord had grown into a fine gentleman." Helena praised.
"Yes, I can't believe this is the same person. He changed for the better." Leila murmured, looking Lucas back in awe and added,"Don't forget just whose son he is. I can feel a layer of sharpness hidden beneath."
Lucas after a small walk finally arrived before his home.
Lucas stood before the two stored houses which seemed to be quite huge compared to the neighboring houses.
Lucas stared at the huge wooden door for a moment and taking a deep breath, hesitantly reached for the doorbell of the house.
DING!DING!
.......
Inside The House
A woman sat in the drawing room while looking at the entrance.
Her red hair fell reaching her waist like a waterfall. She was a beautiful, fair-skinned woman. Her red Phoenix-like eyes were stuck on the door waiting for someone's arrival.
"Dear! You should take a rest. You have been sitting there like a doll since morning. You haven't even taken the food."
"Nor allowed me to take a bite." Leonard spoke the last sentence faintly but it was enough for her to hear it.
She turned her head and gazed at the man with chilling eyes, making the man step back a little.
"What kind of father are you? Your son is coming from such a long distance and all you think is about food, food and food."
"Come here and eat my fist. It will take your hunger away," Vanessa spoke, raising her fist frightening the man.
Leonard grumbled while praying in his heart.
He was really scared...So scared that he might wet his pants.
He had already hardened his heart of what was about to come and how much Lucas would reveal to Vanessa.
"God! Please protect me.'
' I don't think she will kill me before her son, will she?'
Leonard asked but no answer came out.
Leonard then sneaked in to have a few bites of the delicious meal but just as his hands reached for it, a cold threatening voice echoed in his ears.
"Touch it and I will make sure you are incapable of touching anything else..."
"Just how many times do I have to say that we would have a family lunch..."
DING!DING!
The sound of the doorbell echoed in the hallway and Vanessa's eyes widened. Then without wasting a single breath she fled towards the entrance, leaving behind Leonard dazed whose hand sneaked in grabbing a cake.
"Lucas, my son, thanks for saving me."
"I will remember your gratitude in this life." Leonard spoke with teary eyes and bit the cake with a satisfied expression.
......
As soon as Lucas pressed the doorbell, on the other side of the door, the sound of rushing footsteps rushing for the door instantly reached his ears.
His ears perked up and his heartbeat hastened and before he could calm himself, the door opened.
CLANK!
Opening the door, Lucas just saw a flash of a brilliantly smiling woman with red fiery hair and crimson Phoenix-like eyes greeting him and jumping on him with a whisper.
"Welcome home, Lucas."
Before answering, Lucas was hugged tightly and a rain of kisses started to fall on him as if the kisses had been stored in a bank for years waiting to be collected.
Squealing in delight, his mother Vanessa Bright poured all her love on him.
"Ohhh my baby just look how much you have grown."
Lucas, who fell into her mother's embrace, tried to struggle but he was held by his mother as if he was going to disappear the moment she left him.
Although it was the first time he had hugged the lady who was a stranger to him a year ago, he didn't feel any kind of repulsion to it, rather he felt like he earned this embrace more than anything in his life.
Memories of his previous life flashed before his eyes. His mother would always wait for him like this when he went to school or outside the place and would shower him with love when he returned.
A mother's love is boundless and unfathomable and now as he finally got the chance to meet his new mother who welcomed him with open arms, small drops of tears started to trickle down from his cheeks.
Feeling her embrace, Lucas' body became weak and his mind became relaxed as if he had found the most comfortable place.
"I am back, Mom."
