Bab 65: Accelerate

Aiden searched for Lucien for five years. He intentionally stayed and wandered around the southern towns in the hopes of meeting him. 

The journey wasn't easy. The loneliness and hunger he had to endure almost drove him mad. He had to survive on scraps and leftovers. He's barely alive... But each time he remembered the warm hands brushing his head, the warm body sleeping beside him, and the thought that they would meet again, hope filled his heart. 

He will meet him again soon. He just has to search and wait for a few more days. It wasn't until Aiden followed a group of robust men that he coincidentally found Lucien again. 

He was scared stiff at that time. His emaciated bones had no strength. He could not help Lucien as his head was smashed against the wall. 

The men left after leaving Lucien swimming in his own blood. Aiden was incredibly happy when he found out that Lucien was still alive.
