章節 19: 19. The storm ends and spreading one’s wings
Filla was crying on Colt's embrace. She was sniffling as she tightly hugged the seated Colt. She was like a golden koala hugging its parents less the sh*t eating part.
Her eyes were puffy and so is Colt's. The father and daughter pair calmed down and Colt looked around the room. There were a more diverse set of expression present in the room.
Mina was conflicted between happiness and jealousy; Mary was enjoying the lovely scene; and Hylda was bawling her eyes out crying just like Colt and Filla.
"I didn't know you were a father, big bro Colt. Uwaaa, and here I am thinking you're nothing but a drunkard pedophile who frequents the orphanage to satiate his desire…" She was guilty, but still honest.
That day, a lot of crying was involved and thankfully no blood. Colt and Filla separated from one another and as she sat on Colt's lap and had her head stroke by her father, she was satisfied. This was one of her dreams, even though Colt always does this for her, but it felt different right now.
"This is nice." Her feet were swinging back and forth as she enjoyed herself with the companion of Colt. She moved it back and forth and from the corner of her eyes, she saw Mina and turned to her, before showing a wide smirk as if saying to her, "I win, he loves me more."
Mina's eyes widened. She was not going to war with a three-year-old, that's the daughter of her future husband…however, she's her future daughter as well so it is a good time to know her place.
Thus, a war began through their eyes alone.
Colt purposely ignored the two and just looked at Sister Mary who was finalizing the red folder. She looked at Colt with a satisfied smile on her face and asked.
"You're finish already, in terms of letting her know the truth, that is. Now, what are your plans? Are you going to leave her here with us for the time being?"
"You're leaving Filla? I knew it, you hate Filla!" It was not a surprise to hear Filla suddenly wailing as Mary's words were too insensitive.
"No, no, it's just temporary, Dad just have some things he needs to sort out in the capital. I'll be attending the academy and when the seventh month comes and your birthday and Fate Baptism comes, I'll take you home with me. But, for now, I can't take you home because I'll leave sooner or later."
Filla found it hard to believe his words, but as it was the job of Colt to make her stop.
'Thing's didn't really change.'
The talk continued as Filla finally settled down, as Colt and Sister Mary came down to a conclusion, the day was finally beginning to settle.
Soon enough, it was time for Colt to leave.
"Come again tomorrow, okay?"
"Of course, Daddy will come again tomorrow/"
"Big bro…daddy, you promise?"
"I do, don't worry."
Filla had Colt promise his return. And as Filla celebrated, Colt turned to Hylda who was quietly watching from the side with her arms by her side.
Even before Colt could say anything, Hylda already gave him a thumbs up.
"Don't worry big bro, I got Filla, I won't fail to take care of her, she's like a sister to me. What, you don't believe me!?"
"I believe, that's why I can leave this place without worry."
Colt smiled at Hylda also and looked at Sister Mary one last time, he bowed and paid his respect. She held the pommel of her dagger with and with her right arm placed on her chest.
"I'll be seeing you, sister Mary."
"You too, kid."
Mina looked at Filla just as she was about to descend the hill. The two rivals looked at each other's eyes. Filla was warry and Mina merely smirked.
"Practice calling me Mommy or Mother from now on, okay? My dear Filla."
Filla raged as she said some unsavory things. Mina left with her waving hand at Filla and Hylda who was holding the kid from charging forward.
"It seems like you had your fun, young master Colt. Did something good happen there? Young master?"
"There was…"
The pair left the orphanage with smiles on their faces. Colt thanked Mina for doing what she did and Mina kissed him as she claimed her rewards.
This is the start of Colt's quest for glory and cleanse his name of the title wastrel. Though the path is stiff, he will tread it and go against the will of the original story.
Although he can't remember every character and every event. He at least has a good grasp of what will happen in the next three years.
These three years will play the pivotal role of starting the different issues. These issues ranges from complicated to simplistic and browsing through his memory, there would be three chances to let them know of his might.
'I'll become strong and go against the odd of this world. The structure of the world is going to change and I will lose my edge over this world, the five Vol. advantage but it will all be worth it.'
Colt is ready to become a 'Hero-like-' figure of this world.
"Dear husband, pleased don't tell Filla anything more about marriage with you, okay? She might get the wrong idea." Mina casually said as she retreated from Colt's lips.
And with his speaking ability retained. He simply answered.
"Yes."
