The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 1005: Sad and Angry

Aldrian and Ao Tianhai appeared back in the garden where his family was already waiting for his return. The moment he appeared, they were stunned, but then they finally sighed in relief. Irene and Sylphia stood up.

"Son." Irene said as she rushed toward Aldrian with Celestina in her arms. Sylphia also followed her.

Seeing his family again, Aldrian finally showed his warm smile once more. Irene arrived in front of Aldrian and checked his condition for a moment.

"Are you okay? I already knew what happened, and you really made us worry," she asked.

"I'm fine, Mother. Don't you see there is nothing wrong with me?" Aldrian answered as he raised both of his hands, showing that he was fine.

Irene sighed in relief once again. "So everything is fine? After I heard what you had to face, I truly thought this time might be serious and that something could go wrong. You looked very serious earlier."

"Well, I did not deny that I considered this matter seriously and prepared a plan B if my plan failed. But fortunately, everything went according to what I had planned, and those devils did not have anything that could make me fail," Aldrian said. He then looked at Sylphia, who was standing beside him, and smiled at her.

He kissed her forehead and held her hand before he looked at the others, who were looking at him with relief.

"I'm sorry if I never told you about this, but this is something I thought I could take care of myself without telling anyone. I just did not want to add unnecessary worry for you when I believed I could handle it on my own."

"This is also caused by me, which is why those devils came with such large armies. That made me feel responsible for solving it without having to drag others into it."

Sylphia narrowed her eyes. "Why are you saying that this was caused by you? Is it because the devils in other places know about the Fallen Star Cluster and came after you?"

Aldrian smiled at her. "No. Something like that is not enough to make them come on the scale that I just faced. I will tell you why…"

Aldrian then sat down with the others. Ao Tianhai tried to keep some distance, as he did not want to intrude on Aldrian's private time with his family.

However, Aldrey and Irene did not mind his presence and told him that he could stay close to them. They felt thankful that he had followed Aldrian and that Aldrian could trust him. They did not want him to feel as though he was being set aside. In the end, Ao Tianhai stayed closer to them as Aldrian also permitted it.

Aldrian then told them what happened when he killed Rulleus and about the vampire king and his army that made their journey. After hearing the sequence of events, they finally understood why Aldrian thought that this was his responsibility.

Then Aldrey asked him, "If the vampire king has lost his position, then what will happen to the other devils in the First Heaven? With how they lost their leader, it must create an uproar in the central region of Heaven." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Aldrian looked at his father. "That's true, however, the vampire king is not the only leader of the devils in the First Heaven, as he is only one of the four overlords who rule the devil troops."

"With me wiping out the vampire king's army, it will cause an uproar and will surely reach the other three overlords. They will finally know that there is an existence that can threaten them, and they might start to put their attention on the southern part of the First Heaven. On this place."

"They might come with a much bigger army, and even the other three overlords might personally come."

Hearing that, the others frowned, as the problem with the devils seemed to always come back. When they thought that they could at least relax for a moment after getting rid of the devils in this world and the surrounding worlds, the devil problem always came from another direction.

"That's why I will have to make the journey to the central region of Heaven myself as quickly as possible, before all of them can reorganize and make their move. I will strike them before they can prepare and catch them off guard," Aldrian continued, which made the others widen their eyes.

"What? Alone again?" Aldrey asked.

Aldrian was silent for a moment before he nodded. "I'm afraid yes. It's much safer if I depart alone, and I actually planned this a long time ago. This is something that I need to do to take care of the devil problem in the First Heaven once and for all."

Hearing that, the others' expressions turned various. His parents looked sad, his harem looked at him with frowns, and Sylphia even looked angry. Eleine and Ao Tianhai also frowned, and Ao Tianhai spoke.

"Your Majesty, let me come with you. Although I know Your Majesty is strong, having another hand to help will make your journey easier, right?" But Aldrian shook his head.

"You stay here and protect my family. With me annihilating the vampire king's army, I don't know what will happen next. I want you to stay here just in case something happens," he said.

"But—"

Before Ao Tianhai could reply, Sylphia suddenly stood up and rushed into the palace. Aldrian was stunned, as he seemed to see her eyes filled with tears for a moment. The others remained silent, but more or less understood why Sylphia had walked away and looked upset.

Aldrey sighed and said to Aldrian, "Go to her. You should soothe her. She must be really worried about you but just can't say it here."

Without being told twice, Aldrian stood up and pursued Sylphia.

Baek Jimin and Angelica also stood up and entered the palace.

The ones who were clueless were Celestina and Sylvia. Both children could only look at the adults with oblivious expressions. Sylvia, who usually always wanted to stay with Aldrian, seemed to sense that the atmosphere was not good, so she became calmer.

Aldrian, who was pursuing Sylphia, sensed that she was inside their bedroom. After he reached the bedroom, he saw her sitting on the far edge of the bed, with her back facing him.

From behind, he could see her repeatedly wiping her face with her hands.

Aldrian sighed and walked into the bedroom, and circling around the bed.

Finally, he could see her side profile, which was shedding tears at this moment. She kept wiping her tears, but they kept coming, and she ignored his presence, which made him sigh again.

He then took a seat beside her and spoke softly.

"My love, I'm sorry if I made you sad. I'm truly sorry."

She remained silent and continued shedding tears. Hearing no response, Aldrian decided to embrace her shoulders and gently stroke them. Sylphia still did not react, which made him speak again.

"My love, please talk to me. It pains me to see how I made my beloved wife cry, yet you won't say anything to me."

Sylphia finally turned her head and slightly moved away from him, showing her teary eyes to Aldrian for a moment.

They showed her sadness and her anger.

She then rested her forehead on his shoulder, and finally, she opened her lips.

"I'm truly sad and angry. I'm truly sad about how you always take care of the big problems and put yourself in danger, as if you are being pushed by something. And I'm truly angry. I'm angry at myself because I cannot be of any help to you. I'm too weak to do anything meaningful for you, even though I already received the blessing from Goddess Seralis."

"I want to be angry at you because you seemed not open to me regarding this matter, but I can't. I can't be angry at you. How could I be angry at you? You have good reasons for not being too open to me or anyone. You are always doing your best so we can live comfortably without worry." She wiped her tears again.

"I know that in one of your past lives, you were not an ordinary person, and you seemed to carry heavy responsibilities on your shoulders and a target that you had to achieve. After meeting Goddess Seralis, I know that you are some kind of mighty being that even she cannot fathom."

"But it still makes me upset that I cannot do anything, when as husband and wife we should be helping each other. Yet I cannot do anything except watch you repeatedly move alone, without me or anyone able to help you."

"I truly feel weak and powerless. If only my cultivation had reached the peak pseudo immortal stage at this moment, then maybe I could somehow help you now."

She then fell silent.

Hearing her heart's voice, Aldrian finally understood, and the expression he had while listening to her slowly turned into a soft smile.

He slightly turned his body towards her, cupped her face, and made her tear-stained face look directly at him.

His smile was soothing as he spoke softly to her.

"I love you. I truly love you."
