Asamaru's children, the next generation of the Hider family, grew up in a kingdom at peace, but the tales of their father and grandfather's heroism and sacrifices were ever-present. The scars that Tyson and Asamaru bore served as constant reminders of the battles fought and the lives lost to secure their future.
Tyson, despite his semi-retirement, took a keen interest in his grandchildren's upbringing. He passed on the knowledge and skills he had acquired over a lifetime of warfare, teaching them not only the art of combat but also the values of honor, compassion, and duty. Asamaru, balancing his duties as a ruler and a father, ensured that his children understood the importance of leadership and the responsibilities that came with it.
The kingdom of Ultima thrived under Asamaru's rule. With the guidance of Tyson and the support of loyal allies, Asamaru implemented reforms that strengthened the kingdom's defenses, promoted economic growth, and fostered cultural exchange with neighboring realms. The lessons learned from the primeval war shaped his policies, ensuring that Ultima would be prepared for any future threats.
Yet, Asamaru and Tyson never forgot the personal cost of their victory. They honored the fallen with annual commemorations and invested in initiatives to support veterans and their families. The people of Ultima, inspired by their leaders' resilience and dedication, rallied together to build a stronger, more united kingdom.

And as they stood side by side, their missing eyes a testament to their shared journey, they knew that the future of Ultima was in capable hands.
### Chapter 58: A Lasting Legacy
As time marched on, Tyson's health began to wane. The years of battle and sacrifice had taken their toll, and he found himself spending more time in quiet reflection. Asamaru, now a seasoned ruler and a loving father, ensured that his father was well cared for, surrounding him with family and friends.
One serene evening, as the sun set over the capital, Tyson and Asamaru sat together on a balcony overlooking the bustling city. The sounds of laughter and life filled the air, a testament to the peace they had fought so hard to achieve.
"Father," Asamaru said, breaking the comfortable silence, "do you ever regret the path we chose?"
Tyson, his gaze distant and thoughtful, shook his head slowly. "No, my son. Every scar, every sacrifice, led us to this moment. The peace and prosperity we see now are worth every hardship we endured."
Asamaru nodded, feeling the weight of his father's words. "I promise to continue your legacy, to protect and guide our people as you have done."
Tyson smiled, his remaining eye shining with pride. "I know you will, Asamaru. You have become a leader even greater than I could have ever hoped. And your children will carry that legacy forward, ensuring that Ultima remains strong and united."
With that, they sat together in companionable silence, the bond between father and son unbroken by time or hardship. As the stars began to twinkle in the night sky, they knew that their legacy would endure, a beacon of hope and resilience for generations to come.
