Bab 15: [14. Protecting the Light]
What a coincidence, if I didn't find it in Armand's shop, then today I would definitely find it, myself at Erlian's house.
Today is also for me to visit there as a guest for a week, I don't know what he was like as a child, I think he will be more handsome. I didn't have a chance to see his face because I was too surprised to see those eyes again
Thinking of this I suddenly became nervous to meet him. I used to forget he was the son of an Erlian, or because of amnesia a year ago my memory hasn't fully recovered so there are some things I can't remember.
It seems I met him early which allowed me to prevent him from being destroyed.
All the equipment for the week has been packed, Fenta and I walked for a while in the park, when we intended to leave I saw a small figure in a white robe.
I thought it was a sly mouse from Erlian, thought it was a dwarf, the little figure crept as if afraid of being caught and always hiding looking left and right.
If a maid passed by she would hide, cute like a petty thief.
When he was about to leave I lifted him very lightly and actively, when behind I met his bright orange and golden eyes, I was taken aback for a moment but only a few seconds returned to normal.
Finally found..
"Small child?"
A small face with slightly swollen cheeks, pale white skin, long hair that almost reaches the shoulders, front hair slightly covers the eyes but not completely. A little lost, I never expected the little boy to have this kind of appearance..
After seeing it, I feel... This kid looks like him, this must be the person he was when he was little. Or rather I had met him in his childhood.
The white robe almost covered his entire body, but I could still see his cute little hands, there were some small scars on his hands.
Seeing this, I can guess a little.
I think he was bullied as a child. What caused him to choose the wrong path was because of his unlucky childhood.
Even as an adult, only a few people knew about him. If only the false accusations were not exposed then no one would know that Erlian still had another child. There are also false rumors about an illegitimate child in the Erlian family, this child is actually the youngest child of the Erlian family, it's just that after hearing Alfa mention his family, hating him, I finally know something..
He is hated by his family, abandoned like a dog but still takes care of him out of obligation. The duty for him to live but his life to make him die, was misused.
Unfortunately the deep hatred made everything completely destroyed, causing disaster for the country because of this. I can finally see where some of his hatred is coming from. Abused by servants, bullied by his second brother, his father and brother don't care about him, his mother died because of him and because of that his family hates him making a child like him, who should be loved, suffer a lot of painful suffering.
I remember, many rumors circulated and many people believed in it, to the point of making him humiliated and ridiculed in front of everyone, unable to defend and unable to prove himself, no power, his family dumped him, people insulted him don't know why. Finally, a dark heart and growing calamity was born.
Really, if only I had known about it...
Forget it, now I have been given another chance to fulfill my promise and make up for past regrets.
Suddenly my hand was hit, it didn't hurt but it was itchy and I could see the kid running fast without looking back. It was as if there was a ghost behind him.
I seem to be smiling.
"So.. What shall we do first prince?"
"Relax now, there's no need to rush but step more carefully there are many traps prepared by Duke August. Maybe he doesn't know yet, we will surprise him in the future"
"The first prince is the best.."
The next day I woke up in the early hours of the morning, suddenly had a bad dream, I don't remember what the dream was about but one thing is for sure the red hot fire made me restless.
I couldn't sleep anymore and decided to practice swordsmanship in the morning.
1 hour passed, the sun gradually brought out its rays, the colors of orange and golden yellow shone like her beautiful eyes. Beautiful and graceful, without knowing it I admired her appearance more than her deep and beautiful orange and gold eyes.
Cold, sharp and cruel. When remembering yesterday's scene it was radiant, gentle and vibrant. No hatred but innocent and naive but knew under that gaze there was a familiar sense of maturity.
Maybe.. It's just a feeling.
I suddenly want to go back, the flowers in the garden are quite beautiful but I'm not interested but I'm attracted to the familiar little serape. Alpha?
"Pft.."
Run so fast like a baby animal. I tried to get closer.
"Small child-"
Maybe I surprised him so much that he fell into a bed of rose bushes, I didn't catch him in time.
Lying there unable to move and there was some blood dripping from the pale white skin, I realized one thing his body was so thin that only skin and bones were visible like undead.
He closed his eyes probably holding back the pain, the guilt in my heart began to spread, I quickly removed his body from the rose plant with my magic.
After that I hugged him and started to cast healing magic on him. All minor cuts and scrapes healed but I could see the scars under his white shirt.
The wound was quite large and imprinted, almost healed there were some bruises that almost disappeared, I frowned. Thinking this was too much for a child, they were immoral to treat a child like this.
There may be hatred with nobles but they are wrong with a child who doesn't even know anything yet. Closing eyes removed the emotion in the eyes and looked into the child's glowing eyes.
The light in her eyes is so beautiful, like the sun and the stars in the sky.. I need to protect that light.
