Chapter 90: Chapter : 90 : This Is Good Bye!
"Throk... Eline!" Lysandra called out to them.
But they didn't hear her. Lysandra walked toward them. But she thought better and hid behind a wall.
"Th-Kun..." Eline called softly, resting her hand on his shoulder, "What happened?"
"It's just that..." Throk said, "Onee-Chan is going to leave."
Eline sighed, then suddenly hugged him, ruffling his hair, "Their... Their..."
"Huh? What do you think you're doing?" Throk asked, trying to push her, blushing.
"Trying to make you feel better." She replied, pulling away.
"You think a hug is going to make me feel good?" Throk said, looking away.
Eline giggled, leaning toward him, "So it didn't work?" Teasing him.
Throk glanced at her and looked away, "Maybe." He said, murmuring.
She pulled back, her tone softening, "Th-Kun... You don't want her to leave... And I get it. But sometimes you need to let go. Don't you want her to be happy?"
"Yeah. I want her to be. But I will never get to see her again." Throk said, his voice breaking up.
"I know. But you need to understand that a girl, one day or another, needs to leave her family to start her very own family. Even I'll have to leave my family someday." She said, her tone softening.
"You mean... You're going to leave me, too?" He asked, facing her, his voice urgent, he looks like he will tear up any moment.
"Huh?" Eline said, "You don't want me to leave?" Blushing.
"Why would I ever want you to leave?" Throk questioned.
"Then?"
"I... Ahh..." Throk looked away, "I always want you to be with me. Spending time with me, playing with me. And when I become the king... I want you to help me."
Eline was dumbfounded. Her mouth opened wide, cheeks burning, trembling. Then suddenly, she hugged him again, tightly.
"Ohh... You little. I will stay with you as long as you want." She said, smiling, happy.
"Eli-Chan... I... I can't breathe." Throk struggled under her hold.
After a few seconds, Eline let go of him. Looking happy.
Throk just stood there for a moment. Then he said softly, "If Onee-Chan leaves, I will be very sad. But... If she leaves, she will be happy. And if she is happy, I'll be happy too. And..."
"And what?" Eline asked.
"Y-you're going to their for me when I'm sad, won't you?" He said, blushing, scratching his cheek.
"Mmm... Always." Eline replied with a smile.
Behind the wall, Lysandra was happy, smiling, tears welling up in her eyes.
Then she revealed herself, "Throk..."
Throk looked toward her, surprised. "Onee-Chan... What are you doing here?"
Lysandra walked toward him. As she reached him, she knelt in front of him, looking at him lovingly.
"Onee-Chan?"
Suddenly, she hugged him against her boobs.
Throk's face was stuffed against her boobs, his face red.
"Throk... I am going to miss you a lot, too." She said, voice filled with emotion.
"Onee-Chan..." Throk said, his voice muffled by her boobs.
"But don't let it hold you back. Live your life, even if I am not here, even if you feel down someday... Remember that you have Father and Eline with you. Grow up, learn new things. And when the time is right, take the throne. Became the kind of king I will be proud of." Lysandra said.
Lysandra then turned toward Eline, "Eline..."
"Yeah?" Eline stiffened.
"Please take care of him for me."
"Don't worry. I will always look after him." Eline promised.
She then turned her gaze back toward Throk, "Throk... Always remember that I love you, that no matter what, we're family."
That did it.
Throk broke down in tears. Throk wrapped his hands around her, crying in her chest.
Lysandra held him tightly. Smiling at first, then her eyes trembled, breaking up in tears herself.
Eline rubbed the tears in her own eyes.
Then—
Out of nowhere, someone stood beside her.
Eline turned to look.
Aiden.
Aiden smiled at the heart-warming scene between the siblings.
"Mummy?"
The soft, adorable voice pierced through. Both turned to look.
Leona was in Aiden's hands. Leona was looking toward them, worried.
"Mummy... Why is Uncle and you crying?"
She smiled, her eyes teary. She looked toward Throk, then stood up, walking toward her.
As she reached her, she leaned in, kissing her on her forehead, softly.
"It's nothing, sweetheart," Lysandra replied, looking at her lovingly.
Leona extended her hand toward her face, rubbing off the tears from her cheek. This simple gesture of affection melted every heart.
Instantly, Lysandra wrapped her arms around Aiden, hugging both of them.
"I am so happy to have you both." She said, crying against Aiden's chest.
Aiden and Leona looked toward each other, then smiled, beaming.
"Mummy... You're so funny." Leona giggled.
"Dear... You're such a back sometimes." Aiden teased.
"Leona... Thank you for being born. Sir... Thank you for choosing me as your wife."
"Ehh?" Leona giggled.
"Glad to hear that," Aiden replied.
Besides them, Eline stood beside Throk, whaioiering to her, "Doesn't she look really happy?"
"Hmm..." Throk said, smiling.
"So you understand now?"
"Yeah. I don't have to worry anymore." Throk whispered back.
"Whoa... Their they're..." Nyxion said, telling the others.
"Master!"
"Sir!"
"My King!"
"Heartlord!"
"Onii-Chan!"
"Pervert..." Vegia said softly.
"Mii~"

The day has finally come when Aiden and the members of his harem will leave Grimclaw.
"Father..." Lysandra said, crying against her father's chest.
"My child. Be happy, always." Kragg said, voice filled with emotion. Then he turned toward Aiden, "Son... Please... Keep her safe and happy."
"Sir... Always. I swear on my life. Your daughter, also my wife, will be happy with her life." Aiden said sincerely.
Throk came to him, extending his fist toward Aiden.
Aiden smiled, giving him a bro fist, "That's a promise."
Away from them, Thristle teased Vegia, "Even after all the no's and but's, you're still coming."
Vegia blushed, looking away, "I am because I have to take care of you. Who knows what you will do and get yourself into?"
"Yeah... Yeah... Thank you very much." Thristle teased again.
Vegia growled.
"I'll be missing this place so much," Luna said, crying against Nyxion.
"Luna... Calm down. You're soaking me wet." Nyxion complained.
"You're so... Heartless, Nyxion." Luna cried louder against her chest.
Nyxion sighed.
"Arisha..." Adrish said, crying comically, hand resting on his eyes.
Aurora is trying to calm him down.
"Brother... You're so much sometimes." Arisha growled.
"Can you blame him?" Aurora said, smiling nervously, "You're his dear little sister. He loves you a lot."
Arisha sighed, her voice softening, "Thank you for always looking after me. After our mother and father passed away, you have been my parent. For that, I am grateful to you."
Arisha bowed to him, thanking him for everything.
Adrish couldn't take it anymore. He reached out and hugged her. "You're so sweet to me. How did I ever get so lucky?"
Then he shouted toward Aiden, "Bastard... Take proper care of her. If you make her cry, I'll kill you."
Aiden looked toward him, scratching his cheek nervously, "Always."
"Good!"
Arisha sighed, but hugged him back. "Thank you. Thank you for everything." Whispering to him.
Aurora looked at them lovingly.
"We'll miss you so much," Aurora said, coming toward her.
Adrish let go of Arisha, and Aurora hugged her next.
Groth and Lindash came toward Aiden.
Groth laughed, "So... Kid. Leaving already?"
"Yes, sir..." Aiden replied.
"You had just stayed and ruled over the kingdom," Lindash muttered.
"I know... But that doesn't feel right to me. I feel that a bigger adventure is waiting for me." Aiden said, standing tall.
Groth frowned then laughed out loud, patting his shoulder, "Good. I like the sound of that."
"Thanks," Aiden replied, smiling nervously.
Away from them, Ivy and Fluffynugget were talking with Throk and Eline.
Well... Fluffynugget was mostly Mii'ing.
"Take care of yourself," Eline said, hugging Ivy.
"You take care of yourself, too," Ivy replied.
"Mii~"
"The next time you will see me, I will be a great king," Throk said proudly.
Breaking away from the hug, Ivy replied, "I'll pray to the almighty creator for you."
The Almighty creator: A being who is said to have created the whole of existence. A being who is said to have created the Gods. A being who rules over everything. A being who said he has no beginning nor any end to him. A being who is beyond any reason or logic. It is said that everything that happens in existence is part of his grand plan. A being beyond limits.
Finally, the group got up in an open carriage.
"Every citizen of Grimclaw is going to see you off," Kragg said.
Aiden nodded.
"Grandpa. Goodbye." Leona waved toward Kragg.
"Goodbye," Kragg replied with a smile.
The carriage started moving.
Sitting beside her, Aiden asked.
"Lysandra, are you alright?"
"Yeah... I just can't believe I am leaving them behind. I need time to get used to it." Lysandra said, hugging Leona tightly.
"Princess... We are always with you." Luna said from Aiden's other side, smiling toward her.
"Don't forget me," Thristle added.
"Me too," Arisha said.
"Me three," Nyxion added.
"I guess I am with you, too," Vegia said, blushing.
Thristle elbowed her, "Stop blushing all the time."
Vegia growled.
"Master see..." Luna shouted excitedly, pulling on his sleeve.
Aiden and the other stared beyond. The street was filled with goblins on both sides. Shouting his name.
To see their hero for the last time.
