The Story of Nexus (Female Harem x Male Reader)

Chapter 8: aM i UsElEsS?

Your POV

After the battle is over with many strikes until Advadu is knocked down, his father, Aldievard has declared a winner. It was me. "I thought unauthorized battles are not allowed in my village, but I will let that slide since Y/n already proved himself worthy! He will be ready to face the trial tomorrow!" He announces to everyone.

"Father...why...?" Advadu stands up but slowly got beaten. "After everything, but yet you still side with those outsiders?"

"Y/n was an outsider indeed. But he trained his courage to improve stronger to protect the life of the village." Aldievard answers his question. "However, you did not prove yourself to become a citizen of Alibreta who is destined to protect the people of this world. You are not worthy to face the trial because you tend to abuse the use of your authority. You force people to do your bidding, abuse one of my people, and even you dare hit against my two children. You are no longer qualified. You have already broken many rules of humanity and my word. And since you assaulted the citizen of Alibreta, I sentence you to be stripped away from our family and to be in prison!" He said to him. He is shocked, but also us honestly. If I was him, I would have done the same.

"Father..." Advadu gasps with no hope to recover.

"You are not welcomed to be out here because you cannot accept the people who are destined to keep the village protected with the strength of love and courage..." Aldievard keeps roasting him over. Everyone is silent without a word.

"Is this what you've planned this father?" He begins to speak. "After everything and you still side with them?!" He asks but his father does not answer his question. "Why did you have to go that far to just protect that daughter? She's no blood of ours!"

"That excuse again?" Heiya has her arms crossed.

"And then you let Y/n join in because of her! What are they like you!?" Advadu growls but his father gives him no answer. "I looked up to you because you would have become the lord, but then you betrayed me just for her!?" He activates his sword skill against his father!? How could he!? "This is all her fault for corrupting my father this way! She is nothing but a witch! And as for Y/n who had that slate from the stray cave!"

"...!" I stand in front of-.

"Stand back boy, this is my responsibility to take care of my children." Aldievard denies my assistance. He stands ready with his sword in his hand, a real sword. Advadu charges with his Bladed Falcon at him!

"Fool," Aldievard slashes and cuts Advadu's wooden sword in two. Aldievard has done with this in one strike without his sword skill!? No way...! "Is that your best effort to raise your sword against your old father?" He talks down at him while he collapses. He has nothing and he left his sword that he just left while challenging me. His buddies can't help him now since they witnessed his father's wrath. Advadu has no chance but to run away.

"Don't let him escape, he's now a criminal!" The village fighters start chasing him down. We all just stand still until it's over. I have no respect for someone who hits someone like that. He deserves it.

"Are you ok with this, father?" Heiya asks Aldievard. "He's your son, right?"

"I raised him to do what it must be done for our sake, but since you're here, his heart has been changed. But...I can't let you get killed for nothing because of the promise I kept..." He spoke but later in detail. Who exactly...?

Timeskip

Since everything seemed calm, we both start to go in and check with Aquin who patches up the girl from the Alibreta. She's like an adventurer to me. However, she keeps whispering that she's not useless. Is she traumatized by that word? "Aquin, how is she feeling?" I ask Aquin while the girl is about to cry.
