"Seriously, what do you want from me?' I asked William in annoyance. At the same time, he was ruffling Persia's hair gently before answering."It's just... my brother has been annoying me lately. So-""So you just want to annoy me too?""Wha! No! It's just..." Fidgeting his fingers to another, he tried his best to say what he wanted to say. "Can you give me an advise on how I should deal with him?""I see..."Unbeknownst to me, a grin appeared on my face that was thankfully covered by my mask.Taking a piece of paper from the table beside me, I began writing something inside it. It didn't take long for me to finish it and when I do, I placed the paper to the table saying, "This'll solve your problem.""What is this? An ingredient?" He asked, prompting his head to the side.Which I replied with, "Yes." Stretching my body that had turned stiff because of the long journey, I walked forward to the mirror.What I wrote inside the paper was an ingredient and steps on how to make something
As we continued walking through the hallway, William suddenly pulled my clothes on the back before whispering, "Why does it seems to me that you're somehow a bit excited?", as he tilted his head in confusion."Ah... Nothing really. You're probably just imagining it." I answered his question, and turned my head aside.William seemed to have keen awareness, for him to noticed my excitement. I should probably be careful next time I'm with him."That's what an asshole do. So, William, don't be like him when you grew up." Ryan said, crossing both his arms his chest.Lightly smacking his fist down to his palm, William nodded saying "I see..." innocently.Halting my footsteps, I lifted my mask a bit up before spitting on the ground. "Don't listen to him, William. He'll only corrupt your innocences in the future." I said, looking at Prince Ryan in disgusted."You motherfu--" Once again, he could not finish his sentence as he was quickly stopped by William from hitting me.Unlike the last tim
"What makes you think that both of us are traitors in the first place? We're at the same place protecting Prince William yesterday."Arnold blurted out. Looking around the surroundings, his eyes stopped after reaching the other knights direction.He looked at them as if hoping that they would believe what he said, but... All of them turned their heads aside, ignoring his gaze.When I saw that his expression grimaced, I chuckled. He then glared at me hearing this, but I deliberately ignored this before speaking."Can't you understand your situation here? You guys are already cornered." Taking out photos from my pocket, I threw them up in the air, as one fell on top of Arnold's face. Angrily taking the picture off from his face, he was shocked after he saw what was it about.The picture contained him giving a folder full of informations to the guy that has a snake tattoo."H-how...?" He asked, folding the picture in his hands angrily.***It was yesterday when I decided to inform King
-Clap! -Clap! -Clap!In amidst of the silence, a loud clapping sound echoed throughout the room, making everyone turn their attention to where it came from.And there he was....With an amused smile on his face, King Adam continued clapping for a few seconds before saying, "Congratulations on defeating Arnold all by yourself, Sir Blanc."Slashing my sword diagonally on the air, the speed of the slash was enough to remove all the blood from my short sword, and then I placed it back inside my pocket ring.I took a deep breath, glanced at King Adam's direction, and bowed my head slightly, saying "I Thank you, Your Majesty." with a wry smile inside my mask.I really did it... I killed him by my own hands, I thought to myself inwardly. Some part of me felt bad, while some.... felt sympathy, maybe?Right now, I couldn't get a grasp of what's this strange thing I'm currently feeling, but I decided to ignore this and went on to continue.The King gestured his hands to order the knight on his
-Thud! -Thud! -Thud!While I walking through the dungeon's corridor, I came across some familiar face inside one of the cell."You awake?" I said to the man that, sitting alone on the metal bed on the side of the cell. He took a side glance at me before letting out a long sigh in annoyance."What do you want, brat?""Just want to talk.... Jack."He finally looked at me after hearing that, as he stared at my eyes deeply, saying "Say it." while furrowing his brows.With my other arm crossed, I supported my chin, and smiled as a reply."I want you to join my..."***"Seriously...." Staring right at me, his expression looked annoyed while he was saying that.To which I replied, "Yes." as an affirmative to his question.I have my own reasons why I wanted
It was still night when the three of them dragged me into the forest, saying that it was all part of my training.King Adam didn't let Persia come along because there's a possibility that things might get dangerous, so only William, Ryan and him was with me.After reaching our destination, the trio tied my whole body on the thickest tree they could find, which was on top of the huge mountain that was also far away from the palace. They also took the bracelet artifact from my wrist, and opened up a portal.After all of them went inside the portal except for me who was left behind, Adam finally opened his mouth, saying, "The air in Duranda Mountain is thin. There is also some dangerous monster living inside this place so if I were you, I might as well go on the move immediately after you got out from the rope." Before turning around."Wait!!" I tried to struggle free from the rope, but I failed because
"Huuuaaa...." Stretching my arms up, I stood up from my bed and quickly went inside the bathroom. After I finished taking a shower, I began brushing my teeth while looking at my reflection on the mirror. Spewing the water out of my mouth, I then got out from the bathroom and put some proper clothes before leaving my room. After making sure that everything else is good, I closed the door to my room and went to ahead to the dining area. While I was walking around the palace's hallway, I came across Mason along the way. As soon as he noticed me coming, he looked at me as if surprised from seeing me. "Oh it's just you, sir Athan. I didn't expect you to still be here." Mason said, with no intention of hiding his surprised expression. "Well, his Majesty, the King, wanted me to stay here for just a couple of years, waiting until I turn 12 to join the academy.... While also training with him." "I see... There is something I would like to say to you, sir Athan. And It is about my sister,
With my fingertips under my chin, I continued to ponder about what happened earlier."Just what the hell is that man talking about...?"The more I thought about it, the more question began to appear inside my head, trying it's best to think of the best explanation about earlier.It's making my head spin..."Admin..."Suddenly, a man from the vision overlapped his face inside my mind. It was from one of the memories I've seen a few days ago.Currently, the [synchronizing memories] is still at 0.957. It was still nearing 1 percent at most even though it's been three years since it appeared.I glanced down on the key from my hands for a moment, then tilted my head toward sky before sighing deeply.Just who is he...? I inwardly thought inside my mind. Although the man looks really familiar, I still couldn't grasp th
