章節 15: GoE 15 The World Today

- Playlist of this chapter: What the world needs now by Dionne Warwick

...

Elle should have guessed it.

Elle, who only graduated from the nursing academy, should be able to understand that. But all Elle did was cry and continued to cry silently.

"How can a father do such cruel things to his biological child?" Elle sobbed while one of her hands that was not holding the Black Pearl tried to wipe her cheeks from the tears.

On the other hand, Etter just laughed sadly.

"Of course. Since ancient times, supremacy would not allow the seed of truth to spread and reproduce well. Even if the seed came from the flesh and blood of his own or his wife.

Emperor Paddu even had the heart to kill his wife, the mother of the Elder Prince on one occasion without consideration. Also, the existence of the planet Titan 5, which is the hometown of Prince Elder's mother, was destroyed for fear of a movement to take revenge due to her husband being killed by her queen, "said Etter bitterly.

In return, Elle only nodded in understanding.

"The world was cruel from the start. Also with my parents who disappeared somewhere. Then can you link my parents' disappearance to all of this?" said Elle when she stopped crying.

Elle's gaze turned blank for a moment after talking about her parents. Elle always tried to ignore all of that. Everything related to Elle's parents suddenly disappeared like being swallowed up by the earth when Elle was fifteen years old.

"..."

It was spring in the suburbs, Elle was on a school trip for an observation assignment in Biology to the flower garden of the capital.

"Mother, father ... I'm going to school first, huh." said little Elle shouting goodbye to her parents who were busy in the kitchen.

"Honey, eat first." cried Elle's mother warned.

Elle's mother ran after Elle who had arrived at the front door. Reaching for one of his hands that was not holding a supply bag. Then one of Elle's mother's hands went to Elle's mouth and fed her child with a sandwich filled with chocolate jam and strawberries.

"I'm a late mom. Please don't treat your child like an elementary school child. Didn't you see for yourself that I have wrapped up some sandwiches for breakfast as well as lunch?" shrieked young Elle, trying to resist her mother's mouthful of bread.

Elle's mother just smiled accompanied by her typical crisp laugh. The laughter can disperse anger in one second. Young Elle shuffled and hugged her mother. Because only that little hug was deemed capable by young Elle to be able to escape her mother's excessive attention.

"Fine, fine. Mother's daughter is now grown up and does not want to be noticed like an elementary school child. Dear Elle, just so you know and you have to remember this carefully, until whenever you are little Elle in our eyes. Father and mother are not. You can see the difference between the baby Elle and the current Elle, okay? " Elle's mother said explaining the love of parents that will not fade with time.

In return, young Elle just nodded and kissed her mother's forehead, who was the same height as young Elle's body. Then young Elle ran out of the house as fast as she could. Young Elle was afraid of falling behind on the school bus as usual.

"..."

The room fell silent again when Elle woke up to the present.

Remembering the past has always made Elle cry. Because remembering the past only made Elle filled with endless feelings of regret and it made Elle's chest tight with complicated feelings even more.

"Maybe I can help. But not now. Helping you find the reason your parents disappeared won't change anything. Whether your parents are alive or dead now doesn't change anything at all. Elle, do you understand?" Etter said urgently.

"Yes, I understand. Then now what else should I do?" Elle asked when she regained control of herself.

"Restore this room like everything else and don't forget to put the magic wand along with the fake Black Pearl from your left pocket to its original place. Don't make Emperor Paddu suspicious for now. Especially since you don't have single support yet." Etter's command practically made Elle shudder.

One thing is for sure if basically at any time Elle's life can be threatened either with or without protection from Etter. Hence, it was easier to obey Etter's orders than to act dumb without knowing the real situation.

With a few moves, Elle easily moves from one side of the room to the other to make the room return to its original state.

Not to forget Elle took the fake Black Pearl like Etter said and put it back on the magic wand and put it back behind the old painting of the queen.

Even at a glance and in detail, the fake Black Pearl looked like a real Black Pearl. Both in terms of shape or use. Somehow Etter was able to create the imitation object as fast as lightning without Elle noticing.

Or maybe Elle was too slow to understand?

Perhaps the second option is the most likely. And for that Elle felt very devastated and promised to study harder and try better than before. Even though Elle still doesn't understand what Elle is dealing with, Elle will try to understand and make more efforts to rely on her from now on.

Since Elle realized that there was no longer anyone standing behind Elle to provide moral support and others, Elle realized that this world was cruel and this world would continue to spin without or with Elle in it.

"What should I do after this, Etter?" Elle asked after Etter separated herself from Elle's body.
