Chapitre 380: Someone That I Don’t Want to Meet Anymore
Bloed was not an idiot. Quite the opposite, he was very smart.
Even when he was a child, he was very sharp and quick-witted.
Then, how could he have not noticed the things that his mother said to him today?
Even if he did not know the entire story, he knew more than enough.
During his first days in the Exiled Lands, Bloed many times wondered about why he had been abandoned.
He remembered how his mother cried the night before he was brought to the exiled lands, how she apologized to him between tears.
Thus, he knew that his mother did not want to abandon him.
But, did it change anything?
It didn't.
In the end, he was abandoned. He was left alone in that place filled with nightmares and monsters, without anyone to talk with.
So what if the queen did not want to abandon him?
Should he feel grateful then? Should he felt grateful that his father and mother did not kill him straight away and instead threw him in a nightmarish place filled with filth, dust, and blood?
Hah. The fact that he was not thinking about killing them was already the most he could do.
This changed nothing.
That day. The day when he killed his first monster. When he killed that fox with bloodshot eyes trying to eat his flesh and drink his blood, he decided.
He decided that he was no longer a 'Skysword'.
His name, his family, and his identity as a prince died in the Exiled Lands, giving birth to the current him.
He was no longer Glenn Skysword. Right now, he was Bloed Norman, son of Camilla Norman.
When the queen saw the cold eyes of Bloed, her body trembled.
"S-Son…"
"Stop." Bloed frowned. "I don't want to repeat it again, Your Majesty. Don't call me 'son'. I'm not longer your son."
"B-But…"
"Your Majesty, it looks like you don't understand something. Let me explain it to you then. I don't care about the reason I was abandoned."
"S-Son…"
"Do you think that you can come here and tell me a story, and then I'm going to forgive you just like that?" Bloed sneered; and all of sudden, his voice was filled with killing intent.
It was a very faint killing intent; but at the same time, it was filled with a sharp smell of blood that made the demigods guarding the queen aghast.
However, before they could grab their weapons, they felt two powerful auras locked on them.
Both the silver-haired girl behind Bloed and the golden-haired fox girl beside him were glaring at the two guards with chilling gazes.
The two guards understood their meaning immediately.
'If you dare to touch your weapon, you will die.'
At the same time, the queen turned pale.
Bloed could see her eyes shaking violently and her body quivering due to the killing intent in his voice.
But he did not care.
No, it was better like this.
So she could understand the anger in his heart.
"Your Majesty, do you know how it is to live while knowing that the people that you trusted the most abandoned you? You don't, right?"
The queen did not answer, but tears had started to run down her cheeks.
"Let me tell you then." Bloed's blue eyes were filled with resentment. "It is terrifying.
"I was just a child, and there were many things that I did not understand. But I knew that the people that I loved had thrown me away for their own convenience.
"So, what if your decision was justified? What if that was the best for the kingdom? What if you didn't want it?
"Why in the hell should I care about that?
"Do you know how many times I almost died in that place? Do you know how many times I thought that I would end inside the stomach of a beast?
"No, perhaps you are right. There is something that I should thank you for.
"Because as much as I hate you for what you did to me, that allowed me to meet her. To meet my true family.
"I will tell it to you one last time, Your Majesty. Stop calling me your son, and stop calling me Glenn. That child died five years ago in the Exiled Lands.
"My name is Bloed Norman, son of Camilla Norman, my one and only mother.
"As for you, you are nothing more than a woman that I don't want to meet anymore. So please, if you truly want to do something for me, then stop appearing in my life. To be honest, I'm tired of dealing with the people of Alterna."
Without waiting for the queen to reply, Bloed stood up and walked towards the exit.
"Regina, Eve, Eres, let's go, we don't have anything else to do here."
Regina and Eve nodded and followed after Bloed.
Before leaving, though, they glanced at a corner of the room briefly before looking away.
Meanwhile, Eres put on a complicated expression.
In front of her, her mother was crying bitterly, holding her face in her hands as her tears fell on the table.
She did not know if it was an illusion, but Eres thought that her mother seemed much older than before.
With a sigh, Eres shook her head and stood up, leaving the dining hall as well.
Actually, she wanted to see her family together again.
She had a small hope that it could happen.
But just now, that hope shattered completely.
Some things in this world could not be repaired after being broken.
And this was one of them.
…
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the queen, another person left the dining room at that moment.
He was a 'shadow', a guard sent by the king to protect the queen secretly.
However, he had another mission besides that.
"It looks like it was a failure, huh…" The shadow muttered to himself. "Well, it was an expected result… However, the prince sure is interesting."
The shadow could not help but think about the prince. About the killing intent that he felt in the gaze of the prince.
It was so thick and so deep, filled with a powerful thirst for blood that even he found astonishing.
The shadow could not understand how someone as young as the prince could have so much killing intent without turning crazy.
"… He will definitively turn into a dangerous character in the future." The shadow sighed.
Then, he thought about two of the girls that came with him.
He could still feel a chill on his spine when he remembered the moment when the silver-haired girl and the Saintess of Moonlight Glow glanced at him.
It was just for an instant, but the shadow was sure that if they wanted, the two girls could have killed him easily.
'Dammit, how can two monsters like them to exist?'
The shadow was not weak. He was in the second level of the demigod rank, 'Sainthood'. And if he used its assassination techniques, he was confident that he could go against someone in the third level of the demigod rank, 'Apotheosis'.
But even so, he did not think that he could survive if any of the two girls attacked him.
"Haa… It looks like killing the prince will not be an easy task."
With a sigh, the shadow took out a communication stone from his cloak to inform the emperor what happened today.
At the same time, he started to think about ways to end the life of the young man that once was a prince.
