My Celestial Ascension

Chapter 276 A Hope To Recover

"T-That obnoxious bastard... H-He destroyed the future hope of our family...he stripped away my ability to continue our noble bloodline that has been passed down from generation to generation..." Henrik responded as he clenched his fist tightly in frustration, his voice was filled with sadness due to him losing his most precious thing as though he was about to cry.

"N-No way... This must be a joke, right? This can't be real..." The woman mumbled in a dazed voice, she didn't want to believe that her son had now become a eunuch and couldn't produce a successor to continue the bloodline of the Monbrook family.

"Mother! Look at me! Look at my condition... Do you think I'm joking with you?" With a pained look on his face, Henrik asked.

Although his mother has already aw his bloodied trousers, covered in the fresh blood of her son. However, she still couldn't bring herself to accept the truth that her son has indeed become an eunuch and can't live up to the expedition of the family.

"It's over, mother. Everything is over, that bastard destroyed my future... I'm afraid I won't be able to show my face to Lady Ashley anymore..." Henrik mumbled in a dazed voice, and tears started to roll down from his cheeks.

"I'm more worried about how the Bennett family will react to this if they somehow get the gist of me becoming an eunuch. Will they break the engagement between me and Lady Ashley? And if they did then we'll not only lose the perfect opportunity to build a solid connection with one of the most prominent families within the empire but we'll also face a huge loss."

"The moment I caught the glimpse of Lady Ashley's beauty I fall in love with her... I can't imagine living a life without her by my side..." As Henrik finished his words, the beauty of the gem of the Bennett family of the Lion Heart Empire still lingered within his mind.

"As well as the rumored unparalleled beauties, I can't live without them as well...But it is hopeless now." Henrik spoke a moment later with a bittersweet smile on his face as though all hope had been lost.

Looking at the sad look on her son's face, his mother felt her heart ache, and she immediately pulled Henrik into her embrace and hugged him tightly as tears rolled down from her cheeks.

"Don't lose your hope, my son. There must be a way to heal your injuries... at least that's what I believe." She whispered into his ears as she tightly hugged him. "You may not know this but your father has some of the most expensive potions at his disposal, and I believe that there must be a potion that will heal you completely."

"Is that true, mother? Does father really possess such powerful potions?" Henrik's face immediately lit up after hearing his mother's words.

"It's true, my son," His mother nodded with a smile, and said, "Your father does possess some of the rarest and precious potions, however due to some reason he didn't speak about it to anyone, as certain risks are talking about it in front of others..."

"Remember as the future heir of our family, you should also be cautious about it and don't reveal your family's secrets to others... Or it will bring disaster to our family." His mother said with a serious look on her face.

Henrik nodded.

Sometimes later, a handsome middle-aged man entered the room wearing luxurious attire. The man had the same look as Henrik, albeit much older.

The middle-aged man was none other than the current Lord of the Monbrook family, and the strongest Count of the kingdom— George Monbrook.

And after entering the room, as soon as his eyes landed on his wife and his son, his body froze and looked at his son with a shocked expression on his face.

"Dear Karla, What happened to our son? Why he had so much blood on his crotch?" He became panicked after seeing his son lying on the sofa while resting his head on his mother's lap.

"H-Husband, it's terrible! Someone did something very terrible to our son..." Henrik's mother, whose name is Karla started sobbing as soon as she saw her husband enter the room.

"There's so much blood on his clothes and for some reason, it's only around his crotch... Don't tell me it is what I think it is..." George's face began to sink as he realized something, but he was still uncertain about the possibility.

"Yes, your guess is correct, husband!" Henrik's mother nodded at her husband's guess, and with a furious voice she said, "That bastard destroyed the future of my son, he won't be able to produce a future heir for our family anymore..."

"What?! Who had dared to do something to my son within my own territory?!" After hearing his wife's conformation to his guess, he roared.

"Father, it's the husband of those rumored unparalleled beauties. He's the one responsible for this..." Henrik said in a weak voice, as the pa

it is becoming more and more unbearable.

"What? How could a lowly hunter such as him do something so extreme to you? Aren't you the genius of Monbrook City and a fifth-circle mage possessing the mighty lightning attribute? You could've defended yourself against him very easily." George asked.

How could a fifth-circle mage lose against a lowly hunter? George couldn't believe his son, who has the noble lineage of the Monbrook and is a genius fifth-circle lightning mage, had been beaten up by an ordinary hunter who had just arrived in the city.

"Father you don't understand at all! H-He is a monster! The moment I looked at him I lost my will to cast my spell... His presence alone caused fear in my heart..." Henrik's voice trembled.

For a brief period, George felt a pain in his heart as he glanced at his son's shaking figure.

'Oh, God, what kind of torture did my son endure to make him fearful like this...' George pondered what had led his son to be so terrified.

Looking at his son suffering in pain like this, George was enraged. How dare a lowly hunter raise his hands against his son, much less castrate him? His actions have put shame on the Monbrook family that has been ruling the Monbrook city for ages.

'I must make that bastard pay for his actions, which have brought shame to my family. If the Bennett family finds out, they will break the engagement between their family's jewel and my son...and if that happens, I'll lose all my connections and most likely suffer a significant financial loss...' George thought.

'No, I can't let this happen... I can't afford to miss out on this chance to expand my family's influence... I have no choice than to use that potion on my son, or my Monbrook family will become a laughingstock in the eyes of the public.'

'Losing a valuable potion is nothing compared to the possibility of increasing my family's power at the empire and migrating there...it's a little price to pay.' After some thought, he decided to use the priceless item he had been keeping on his son in the hope of completely healing him.

"My son, you don't need to worry about that bastard," he remarked solemnly to his son. "I'll make him pay for what he's done to you and for daring to bring shame to my family's name."

"For now let's head to our family treasury, I have a very precious potion that has the ability to heal any injury, it can even regenerate missing limbs from scratch." He then said to Henrik.

"R-really? Can it really heal me completely, Father?"

"Indeed, I had spent quite a lot of resources to acquire that priceless treasure — it's called the Elven Healing potion."

Seeing her son's surprised expression, Karla chuckled, "Dear, you might not know this, but nowadays Elven Healing potions are almost impossible to find, even if you have strong connections throughout the continent."

"Which means the potion your father will use on you is priceless," Karla said with a proud look on her face, as they're the only family in the entire Kingdom who possesses such a priceless treasure at their disposal.

"Let me bring out the potion now, just wait here for me a little and the pain will go away once you drink the potion," George said to Henrik before leaving the room.

After leaving the room George directly to his bedroom to retrieve a special key before heading to the family's treasury.

"So this is the location where the Troll has been causing problems for the farmers, huh? I didn't expect it to be this far away." Yuan looked ahead at the village on the outskirts of the Monbrook city, the village was surrounded by massive wheat fields.

"Let's go and ask someone about the Troll's current location," Lily suggested.

"Very well, let's ask a local then." Yuan nodded before proceeding towards the entrance of the village.

After a minute of walking, they arrived at the entrance of the village. At the entrance of the village, an old man was standing, looking in their direction.

"Are you perhaps the group of hunters sent by the Hunter Association?" The old man asked them with a frown on his face as soon as they reached the entrance.

"That's right, we're here to slay that Troll."

"Welcome, I was waiting for your arrival for quite a while." The old man released a long sigh of relief, and said, "The troll has been a pain in our ass for a few days now, and it's destroying our wheat fields and scaring the livestock."

"Since we're here, you don't need to worry about that troll anymore," Rose said with a smile on her face, understanding the sufferings of the old man.

After that, Yuan said, "Can you tell us where the Troll is currently? We want to take him down before he damages more of your fields."
