Celestial Bloodline-Novel

Bia cursed in her mind when she saw Kyle's figure emerging from the portal. She harrumphed angrily and narrowed her eyes at the city below.

Kyle's eyes traveled downward. He could have easily used instant teleportation to get home in a few minutes, but because of Bia, he knew he couldn't.

"Let's go."

He dove down with lightning-fast speed, leaving his spot in a blur. Bia clicked her tongue and followed closely behind.

-'You're just a tad bit stronger than me, but why is your speed so fast!?'

As Kyle picked up speed, the air rushed against his skin. It was cold, and the air pressure was almost overwhelming, but he only felt a gentle tickle on his skin.

He raised an eyebrow at Bia's words and glanced at his stats from the corner of his eye.

'Just a little..? I suppose.'

Bia rolled her eyes at his words. She wanted to boast that she had already reached (SS+)-Rank in just two years, but when she thought about the resources Kyle had generously provided and how he was stronger, she chose to remain quiet.

After just ten minutes, the duo reached a small building in an area that should have been bustling with people, but for some reason, it was strangely quiet. They had arrived in the capital city, right in front of the house where Kyle had left his family.

Kyle took a deep breath and surveyed the house before landing in front of the gate. As he reached for the gate, he heard a familiar voice calling him from behind.

"Who's there?"

He turned around and was surprised to see the familiar figure of Butler Eon. The old man's face was more wrinkled, and his brows furrowed as he examined Kyle from head to toe.

"Who are you, young man-!"

Butler Eon paused and blinked when he noticed Bia sitting on Kyle's shoulder.

"This little bird... It looks very similar..!"

His mouth hung open as he snapped his eyes to Kyle's face. A familiar smile played at the corner of the silver-haired man standing opposite him.

Unlike before, Kyle had grown taller, and with his eyes, hair, and pale skin, he looked like a completely different person. Eon sucked in a deep breath, his face filled with shock.

"You..."

Before he could voice his thoughts, Kyle surprised him even more by giving him a light pat on the shoulder.

"How have you been, old man? It's been a while."

Eon's eyes moistened as he heard the familiar voice of the youngest child of the house. It took him a few seconds to believe that the person in front of him was really Kyle, but when he did, he opened his arms with a smile.

They walked for a while, and Kyle was pleased to see that the house was adorned with decent furniture and a few more male workers. It seemed like things had changed since he left.

After passing through a small corridor, the butler stopped in front of a room. He knocked on the door and waited.

Kyle glanced at the closed door, and a few seconds later, his father replied that he was busy and shouldn't be disturbed.

Butler Eon smiled bitterly as he looked at him.

"He's been like this ever since the other two masters left to fight for the Kingdom."

Kyle sighed and rubbed his temples.

"When did they leave?"

"A few days ago, the Royal Palace announced that they were recruiting people who want to participate in the battle against the monster lord, and both of them immediately applied."

With a nod, Kyle pushed the door open and stepped inside. Immediately, Baron Ohan, who was standing in front of a desk, looked back with a frown.

"Didn't I say not to disturb m.."

He paused when he saw that instead of Eon, an unfamiliar man had entered the room.

Ohan narrowed his eyes at him, but then he suddenly let out a surprised gasp.

"Kyle, is it you!?"

Kyle blinked, surprised that his father had recognized him. He opened his mouth to reply, but before he could, his father hurriedly made his way toward him and embraced him tightly.

"Oh, my child, you're finally back. It's been so long. I almost... thought..."

Tears welled up in his eyes as he gently patted Kyle's back. A warm feeling filled Kyle's chest as he let out a soft sigh.

"I'm sorry for worrying you so much, dad. I'm fine."

After a while, Ohan forced him to sit down and quickly summoned a few servants to prepare a special meal. After all, his son had returned after such a long time.

Kyle smiled and allowed his father to do as he pleased. Ohan asked him questions about his time in the realm. He had been aware that Kyle had entered the ancient realm. However, he knew that his son had grown up. That's why, even though he was worried and initially wanted to scold Kyle when he heard from Elder Han that he had entered such a dangerous place, he let it go.

"The three of you surely know how to make me worry. Now you're back, and the other two are gone."

Baron Ohan let out a sigh and shook his head. He immediately took Kyle into the dining hall. The table was adorned with a wide array of delicious dishes.

Even though Kyle didn't have much of an appetite, he ate and encouraged the old man to eat as well. After all, he had heard from the butler that his father hadn't been eating properly for a while now.

Kyle let out a yawn after he finished eating. He glanced at Bia, who was still devouring a meat dish and couldn't help but chuckle.

He looked at his father and gently tapped his shoulder.

"Don't worry, dad. Ray and Neon are both strong. Also, I'll go check on them."

A mischievous glint flashed in his eyes.

"Well, I can't wait to see their faces when I tell them I've reached the (SSS-)-Rank."

Baron Ohan dropped his spoon and stared at Kyle with a wide mouth.

"What...!?"
