Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Thud!

The man was pushed backward because of the strong impact. The younger one was strong enough that his opponent was pushed back several meters away from him.

\'The accuracy of his attack improved a lot. And his physical strength overpowered me…\' Raizel thought to himself as he wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. He coughed some blood when he was hit by Lowell\'s fist.

"Uncle Rai! I\'m sorry! Did I hurt you that bad?" Little Lowell ran in his direction with a worried expression on his face.

Raizel just shook his head and let out a husky laugh. He ruffled Lowell\'s hair. He was a grown man now. And he was stronger than before. He could even defeat Raizel now during their sparring sessions.

"I\'m fine. I think you are ready to inherit the throne." Raizel teased him.

Lowell frowned and pouted his lips. "I can\'t. I still have to learn more things. Besides, Mama and Papa are doing their job well, reigning as the King and Queen of this kingdom."

"I will focus on taking care of my sister. She wants to visit the human world. Can you ask my father to give us permission to leave?" Lowell sought help from Raizel, his father\'s best friend.

"Yes, Uncle! Please! I want to see the human world. I heard Grandpa and Grandma are staying there!" A feminine voice was heard from the back. She was Arabelle, the Werepire princess… the daughter of Kira and Marceline. She was ten years old.

"Count me in!" Another voice was heard. It was Leila, the daughter of Dylan and Lyca. She was standing next to Victoria. Victoria was the one training both Leila and Arabelle while Raizel was Lowell\'s master.

"What is happening here? Are you having a meeting?" Kira showed up from out of nowhere.

"Father!" Both Lowell and Arabelle called him in unison. Arabelle immediately pounced on her father, hugging him.

"Oh, my dearest princess!" Kira hugged her back.

Soon, two figures joined them. It was Lyca and Marceline. They brought some snacks for their children and their respective masters.

"How is everyone?" Marceline walked over, handing a towel to Lowell. She doted on their son so much.

"Mama… thank you," Lowell\'s face brightened up as soon as he saw her mother. His tiredness disappeared because of her.

"Did you behave?" Lyca also asked her daughter, Leila.

Leila smiled charmingly before nodding her head. "Yes, Mom. I behave. You ask my mentor, Lady Victoria."

Lyca glanced at Victoria and she responded with a smile. "Don\'t worry, Leila is well-behaved. She learns so much today. She is a warrior!" Victoria praised Leila.

Then a proud father butted in. "That\'s my daughter!" Dylan also arrived bringing a basket of fruits. He harvested fruits on the farm.

Ever since the Peace Treaty, the werewolves, and the vampires lived in harmony and peace. Cedric and his pack were exiled from the kingdom as their punishment. But they were still being monitored by the witches and wizards to avoid rebellion. This was their way of maintaining peace and order in the kingdom of Phantasia.

The gatekeepers continued controlling the borders between the human world and the Kingdom of Phantasia. They were strict because they were also responsible for keeping order for both worlds.

"Everyone! I brought new video games. Who wants to play with me?" Xyon caught the children\'s attention. Leila and Arabelle loved to play those video games brought by their godfather, Xyon. Xyon was the one teaching the two girls about computer programming and hacking skills. But his first student was Lowell.

Of course, he was the infamous Mr. X. The greatest hacker of his time. But this hacker had become immortal when he requested Kira to turn him into a vampire.

"They have to focus on their training!" Victoria blocked Xyon. She was annoyed with him because she felt jealous of him. The children loved him the most.

Xyon just smiled at her and said, "Lady Victoria. They are already strong. Remember, there is no war. Why do they need to learn how to fight? At their age, they should be playing and having fun like ordinary children!" He spat back at her.

"But they are not ordinary children!" Victoria insisted.

Everyone just darted their gazes back and forth between Xyon and Victoria. They were arguing again. Raizel had to step in the middle to stop the fight.

"Hey. Don\'t argue in front of the children." Raizel reprimanded the two. "Don\'t tell me you two were having a lover\'s quarrel again?" he added, making everyone laugh. They were shipping the two.

"Lover\'s quarrel my Ass!" Victoria scowled at Raizel.

Xyon just raised his eyebrow. Deep inside, he had a crush on Victoria. But she kept picking a fight with him. She was also frightening and intimidating. But he mustered his courage up to talk back to her. Besides, Marceline was backing him.

"Hmm. I think we should eat first. The children are tired because of their intense training." Marceline finally intervened, making Victoria and Xyon stop bickering. Marceline was someone they didn\'t want to offend. Even the Vampire King couldn\'t win against her. He doted on his wife very much.

"Mother… our Queen… There is something I want to ask you," Lowell finally spoke up.

"Sure. Tell me, dear. What is it?" Marceline shifted her attention back to her son.

All eyes were on him, waiting for what he was going to say.

"Mother… I wonder if I can visit the human world… I want to visit Grandpa and Grandma…" He was referring to Dominique and Serena. Five more years before they could return to the Kingdom of Phantasia.

"Sure. You can visit the human world. Your uncle Xyon can accompany you. Oh… I think we should visit the human world together." Marceline suggested, looking at everyone.

"Yes. If you are going… I have to go too!" Kira said. But Raizel shook his head. "You should stay behind and watch the palace." Raizel just wanted to tease Kira because he knew his best friend couldn\'t afford to be separated from Marceline.

Kira gave Raizel a deathly glare. "I\'m not a palace watcher. I\'m the King. I can do whatever I want. I can assign you to watch the palace while I\'m not around." Kira threatened Raizel.

Raizel could only scratch the back of his head while others burst into a peal of laughter. Kira had a point.

"You know I\'m just kidding right?" Raizel took his words back. If they were going to visit the human world, Raizel didn\'t want to miss the fun.

"Okay. You can tag along with us in the human world!" Kira smirked at his best friend.

"Stop bickering. Now, it\'s decided. All of us are going to the human world. It\'s a one-week vacation." Marceline said with finality.

"Hmm. You can all go. Don\'t worry about the Palace. I will be in charge once you are not around." The White Witch volunteered. She had been listening to their conversation.

"Yey. You\'re the best, godmother!" Lowell cheerfully said.
