Chapter 11
He pushes the door's room and saw that there's light downstairs. He walked and made a loud moan as he stretches his back when going down. He clearly heard talking persons on the sofa so he can't wait to see who it is.
As he walked, he saw bit by bit the person her mother was talking to, and to his surprise, they are kissing each other! He saw the shadow and he realizes that it was his father.
"Dad!", Stephen shouted and hugged his father
"By the way, you can already make another brother for me!", he insisted to his parents
His father paled as he heard his child's request.

"This child actually has that thinking? Is he thinking that by kissing, Isabella will get pregnant?", Douglas scratched his head inwardly then he said to Stephen
"Well if we can save a little money for your little sister or younger brother, then we have a go signal for it. Parenting takes a lot of preparation for the future of the children. Take that to your mind when the time comes.", Douglas said as he caressed his child's head.
"Well, how're your new brothers? Are they enjoying their school life? Well, I and your mother talked about it and I accepted in her offer knowing that they're the heroes.....any news from them?
Stephen smiled and he's about to say something, when suddenly someone observing on the corner of the wall on the staircase, fell to the floor because he is pushed by his brothers that have crowded themselves just to look and hear them.
They are all awake from Stephen's shout earlier and they walk out from the shadows. Frank talked first on behalf of the heroes. He stands up straight then he introduced his name to Douglas, as well as the others. He caressed his head after he bowed down to him.
Douglas smiled and he said to Frank to put down the formalities. He welcomed the heroes with a warm welcome with a speech, he stands up and said
"Heroes of
Frank as well as the others, was ignited again but Frank brought a piece of bad news to Douglas saying,
"I really appreciate your sincerity to us but our mission is still not finished. Well, as a matter of fact, the seal is broken and we have to defend again our kingdom. We will not be of much use to you because as you can see, we came back to being beginners in our own strength and powers. We will still help but we're no different from your child's league."
"Make haste sir Douglas, for we won't know when will they come. I can only think that they will be attacking our citizens outside the walls in just a few days", Frank said worriedly to Douglas.
Frank and his brothers all sat at the floor and they all felt down for the moment. Naphtalie's sacrifice only gave them a few days to prepare and the kingdom is not yet informed.
They pleaded Douglas to inform his higher-ups to prepare for war because the hordes are coming.
Stephen was shocked by the news and he never thought that they have this kind of situation. Douglas said to them to inform the eagle corps to patrol the borders and went to the alliance. He's hoping that the alliance will respond to their warning.
Without delays, Douglas prepared to travel to the capital and kissed her beloved Isabella. While Stephen and his mom waved goodbye to Douglas. It was still dawning when he left them. His adopted brothers all watched Douglas and wished him luck upon his travels.
"What do we do now?", s.h.i.+npatsu asked Frank
"We will wait for the news of his father as well as hoping that it is still not too late", Frank said to s.h.i.+npatsu.
"So we will wait huh, how do we defend the kingdom?, Mistiban asked
"We have to be strong first before anything else and let's wait for his return", Frank said while clenching his fist.
"Let's train first for the meantime", said Stephen
Meanwhile....
Their mom prepared breakfast of oatmeal and milk as well as mixed with raisins and dried mango chips. While their mom is preparing food, they prepared to have a short spar with each other and honing their combat skills. They paired each other and draw lots on who's gonna spar first
Stephen will have a short match with Frank...of course, it's Frank, he is his inspiration when it comes to defending with s.h.i.+elds. But s.h.i.+elds are not only his specialty. He is a versatile weapon user of swords and blunts but the downfall is his difficulty in using knives. Well, knives are the most basic weapon used. Stephen really begged Frank to have a short spar with him.
They paired and choose each other to spar according to the list:
Mistiban-the dread knight is matched to s.h.i.+npatsu-the Ronin. Saber-Lycan is matched against Branmoor-druid. While Splinter-a.s.sa.s.sin is matched against Maldor-ranger. Deathbane-necromancer is matched against Baggus-mage. While Arthras-paladin is matched against Snap-fighter. And for the last, it is Frank-holy knight and Stephen-unspecialized
Stephen will be against the legendary holy knight with priestly skills. He is inspired as well as excited to learn new tricks from his new brother. Hopefully, he can increase the tier of his holy skills by experiencing this fight.
They matched with each other in pairs and readied themselves in the backyard.
The first to match is...
