Capítulo 59: Saying goodbye

Ronny asked Eina if she came alone. She shook her head and said, she was with Aunt Claire. He then nodded at Eina's answer.

Ronny in a serious voice warned her to calm herself first because he needed to tell her something important about her brother. Although she was puzzled for the sudden seriousness of her uncle's tone, Eina while clinching her brother's sleeves nodded at her uncle.

Ronny then explained to his niece about her brother's situation.

.....

"...ha?..."

She was shocked.

Which was noticeable to everyone around her from the irises of her eyes that were tersely shaking after hearing what her Uncle Ronny had said.

Though her Uncle Ronny always teased her and her brother, he was not the type to lie at them.

She could hear her noisy heartbeatlike hundreds of horse hoof repeatedly thumping on it.

She then glances at the people around her and saw them nodded their heads. Even the beautiful Miss beside her brother did too. Eina stared at her brother with redness in her eyes. It was hard for her to believe what her uncle had said.

"B-Brother, i-is it true...?" Eina weakly asked her brother for confirmation. Her voice brought pain to anyone who listens to it. It was lonely and tense.

Yeman stared at Eina, smiled briefly and nodded at her.....then opened his mouth.

"...sorry, " he said at her while gulping some saliva. Then he opened his mouth again... "Although I lost my memory, it doesn't matter... as long as I'm alive, right? And...I still have a chance to see my cute little sister. It just a memory, it will come back again...or if not, I can make new memories. Will you help me with it? Or will you help me to recover those lost memories of mine?" He gently said and asked her as he places his hand on her trembling shoulder.

Eina stared at her brother while listening to every word that came out from his mouth.

Losing their parents at a young age, Eina could only rely on her brother. For her, her brother was the most important person in this world.

She had witnessed all his struggles. Even at a young age, her brother Eman learned how to live like an adult. Though their uncle Ronny was also helping them and didn't leave them, her brother Eman don't want to rely too much on him. He doesn't want to be a burden to his uncle.

So he was working hard. Earning money at a young age. Doing work, and any part-time job that could help him earn money for him and his sister.

Even if he was tired, he did not show it to others, especially to her. He would always be looking at her with a forced smile to hide his tiredness. But Eina knows how tired he felt at that moment just by looking at his eyes. After all, he was her brother and she knows him very well.

But right now, Eina could not see it. The tiredness within his eyes. Nonetheless, those brown eyes of her brother had become red agate in color for an unknown reason. Even his identical brown hair had become dark black.

He was almost different from the brother that left their little home that day to join the subjugation mission with Uncle Ronny.

She was able to tell that right at this moment he was not tired and something about him had changed. But his words brought a comforting feeling to her.

"B-But h-how did you know...that it was me a while ago?" She asked him, still hoping that they were just teasing her. She knew that losing someone's memories was like dying in itself. You don't know anyone and everything. All around were foreign to you. Like your a new person. Or a newborn baby.

She knew that it was not a good thing. But her brother in front of her wearing a calm face. He was in his composure.

Yeman pointed at Ronny which Eina able to understand that it was her uncle who told her brother about her beforehand.

Eina with teary eyes, "...mhm! I will help... hic...brother...to remember his memory that had lost, hic! Or...to make new memories--"

She tearfully agreed at his brother. Then she hugs him tight once again.

Beside them, Mina smiled while staring at the sibling. She doesn't know that this guy was a kind brother to his sister. Seeing his sister crying for him, she felt guilty for being mean at him at the beginning. Mina already knew that not all people were unimportant. Because they also have families or friends that would feel sad seeing them in pain and happy seeing them just fine.

But still, she missed something important, 'to not judge someone by how others saw them; judge them after you realize how they acted to the people close to them.'

She felt a heavy load inside her like something was squishing her puny heart. After realizing how unfairly she felt mad at him. Just because the others told her how bad this man was, she also felt like teasing him and making a fool at him. This was truly what she felt at first, then evolve into hate after realizing that this person wanted to commit suicide on that mission after being rejected by Hannah.

But in the end, it turned out that everything was just her miss conjectures. And he even was the savior of many people without them knowing. He even saves her cousin.

Mina felt her eyes became itchy. Like something solid went inside.

A moment later,

Katak! Katak! Kata—creaaaakk!!!

A new carriage stopped at their front. And a man of 50+ years old wearing a black suit and white gloves on his hand climbed down on it.

"Young master, and Young Miss, welcome back..." the man respectfully bow in their direction.

Leo and Mina nodded at the man.

Later on, the two of them said their farewells. But Mina seemed to like having a hard time saying her farewell to Yeman.

She just standing in front of the carriage while facing her back at him. She bit her lips and tried to open her mouth.

A puzzled expression had surfaced on the old man's face while waiting for Mina to climb inside the carriage.

Yeman, on the other hand, was staring at her back. Waiting for them to depart. He had no idea of why this girl was standing still in front of the carriage door.

She glanced at him, "S-S-See you..." she ended up muttering these words. She doesn't want to say goodbye, because deep inside she was hoping to see him again sooner.

Although she muttered it, Yeman was able to hear it. Even his sister beside him was blinking her eyes.

"...mhm! See you," Yeman doesn't know if those words were directed at him. But she was glancing at him while muttering those words with a sad face, therefore, he nodded and replied.

After hearing his reply, Mina climbed on the carriage. Leo said his farewell to Uncle Ronny and Stonehard then nodded at Yeman. A moment later, the carriage departed in haste. He let out a sigh when realizing how sad his cousin's face in front of him.

He could guess that this cousin of him had fallen in love already. Based on her unwilling face to depart.

Unlike before the mission had started. She keeps talking about things she wanted to do and her plan in the future. But right now, she was silent like no one beside her inside this carriage. Leo could only let another sigh departed from his mouth.

'But it was a pity,' Leo thought. After all, they were members of one of the 13 great bloodline families.

Yeman still has no idea if what were those two's relationship. But that man that looks like a butler or maybe a butler, said Youngmaster and Young Miss at them. Regardless, Yeman did not think much of it, after all, they were just comrades in mission. And that mission had been accomplished by him.

Well, no one knows it, except him and the group of Mayu.

Right now, he has more things he needed to do. But before that. He wanted to know more about this sister him. She somehow looks like him. He thought that if ever he had a sister on earth, it would surely look like Eina. Since his face and Eman's face were just the same. And her sister's face looks a little identical to him.

He thought it was weird, having someone from a different world to have the same face as yours.

Though he was older on earth, however, this face of him right now, was the same face when he was younger. No doubt about it.

After Leo and Mina left, Stonehard also said his farewell, which Ronny and Yeman nodded. Though they were not the ones who killed the Rat Lord, they could get a huge reward in this mission. Not just that, they also found treasures.

So they got the most gains.

The reward would be sent to them at a later date. But before that, a banquet 1 week from now would be held at the palace hall. All of the recruited soldiers who participated in those missions were invited.

But this banquet was most likely to celebrate the first time accomplishment of the mission.

Although, there were more places that needed to reclaim. But for now, they needed to boost the soldier's morale.

And one more thing about the subjugation mission, they could only send again after 1 year. The empire losses a huge number of soldiers at every failed mission. So in order to send another batch of troops, they needed to replenish their forces first.

Now that there was one team that had managed to accomplish, who knows what would be the higher-ups planning to do in the future.

At the distance, he saw Mayu and her group. That guy wearing sunglasses was possing in the midst of crowded people. His hands on his waist and his sunglasses pointing straight to the sun while laughing hard.

The people around him were having disbelieving expressions.

Mayu however, was busy talking to the people which he assumed from the palace because of their ways of dressing. Two old men in long dresses of gold and white in color and wearing a cap that could only be seen in Korean dramas about empire and kingdom.

Yeman smiled at this sight. Look like he made the right choice to evade himself from claiming as the Rat Lord killer.
