"Aditya, this should be your last option. But if you really have to go, you should go and seek your Grandfather."
"He is still alive?" He was surprised.
"Of course, silly!" Alen chuckled, seeing Aditya's reaction.
"He had ruled the Empire for almost 10,000 years. When I reached maturity and got married, he decided to hand things over to me and retire. Maybe if Mom were still alive, he would have stuck around. But without mom, he became lonely. But still, once in a few decades, he used to visit us in secret."
"If you do visit that place, then whoever tries to stop you, tell them that you are my son. My name should be enough for them to let you pass." He silently nodded. This meeting with his parents turned out to be more valuable than he initially thought.
