Chapter 14: Unexpected help
Hades was standing at the edge of the rooftop. The same place where he was tortured a few days ago.
It has been three days since his fathe—no, the Count, visited him and told him the truth which he already knew but never wanted to accept.

The school continued with its usual routine. Students were attending classes. Teams were going on raids. The world was flowing as usual for everyone except him.
The new Captain of the Alpha team was Cedric—naturally. Hades was regarded as an unfit member to lead the team and for the mistake he committed, he would have to start from an ungrouped individual and regain his position in a team.
This was the first time in his life that Hades was feeling so helpless and alone. Maybe because in the past when everyone ignored him, his mother was by his side. And in the Academy, he made himself a reputation through his strength that everyone always surrounded him—admired him.
And now, he has neither.

Falling from here won’t cost him his life, but surely it would put him to bed for a week.
