The Fated Twins

Chapter 31: Unexpected Encounter

Another week another new chapter. I've planned ahead for future events to get a bit away from the original plot, but I still intend to tell a lot of the main events from the story as this fanfic explores the "what if?" direction considering the addition of the twins and their nature as demigods. I also wanted to ask if you think the addition of interference of the Sealed God through his worshipers is a good idea to add some new events to the mix. Also if any readers would like for me to explore the enemy's perspective. Please let me know by leaving a comment, I'd love to hear your opinions. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

"We are currently investigating why the whirlpool may have suddenly disappeared. My father and our territory's mages will all soon arrive as well."

The twins looked out at the calm sea by the central island and played along with Amiru.

"Is that so? I'm glad. I hope we can quickly figure out what happened."

'-You are such a good lair.'

Both Raon and Cale said simultaneously in his mind. Kim ignored their remark as he looked out to the sea with a calm gaze. It was quite chaotic. All of the village's fishermen were out here, as well as the people who came out for the construction of the naval base. They were all looking around and discussing with each other. It was even louder because of the other whirlpools that were still going strong nearby. Kim looked out at all of this and added on.

"I hope all of the other whirlpools quickly disappear as well."

-Demi-human, you are lying again. Didn't you say you will make the whirlpools stay for another year?

Kim once again ignored Raon's remarks. Amiru nodded at Kim's words with a determined expression.

"Yes. We will definitely figure out what happened and get rid of the other whirlpools as well. With such an opportunity in front of our eyes and many people helping us, we need to grasp this opportunity."

The passionate Amiru made Kim feel a bit sorry for her and he started to speak.

"I'm sure you and the Ubarr family will definitely accomplish it, Young Lady Amiru."

Cale only nodded in affirmation to his brother's words.

"...Thank you. I feel much better after your affirming words, young master Kim."

'I'm not sure I could play the part of a perfect rightous noble like you can. The closest I can get to that is being myself but unfortunately, the years of acting trashy has given me a few less than respectable habits.'

Kim looked to Cale with a raised brow, whatever habits he spoke of they were few or to minor to be noticed in Kim's opinion. Cale was a much better person than someone like himself.

Cale frowned.

'I told you to quit the self-deprecation. A good person doesn't mean a perfect hero who does everything for everyone. Even Choi Han is definitely a better person than us and even he has flaws. It's okay to prioritize those who are most important to you over others so quit thinking you're a bad person.'

Cale looked to Kim who had quickly faced away from him. It was clear Kim still couldn't accept those words as the truth and still had a long way to go.

Kim could feel Toonka's gaze on him from one of the boats. Toonka kept glancing over toward the twins every so often. He seemed to be still looking for the source of that strong person's scent. However, there was no way that Toonka would find Raon. That was the limit of someone who could not feel any aura or mana.

"Ah, of course. Please rest well, since you are still in recovery. Do not overdo it."

"Thank you."

The twins leisurely headed to the central island's forest. Amiru just quietly watched them as they headed toward the shade. This Kim, who was still doing what he was supposed to even when he was in recovery, even Cale with his past actions was now doing his best always by his brother's side to support him. Cale was definitely different from the past and she believed that Kim played a big part in his change. Although Kim claimed to be ill, he did not look ill at all. He just seemed tired.
