Road to Valhalla Chapter 20: Mother of Two
"Lady, do you think people are better at making laws than building logics?""What, Seraph? That's a sudden thought, isn't it? Well I think, people aren't any good either way. Even if they make laws full of logic, when they can't uphold laws like that then why make them in the first place? Maybe, they aren't so logical after all.""But people shouldn't be allowed to do whatever they want, right?""And why not? If they can do something, then they should do that. Aren't we born free? Then if freedom isn't about doing whatever, what's the point of it?""You say that, Lady but isn't it true that you follow some laws as well?""Perhaps more so than anyone else. But then when did I say I'm free?" ************"Deli-san, what...is this?""Seraph, if you keep freaking out at every single thing, people are going to think you are country bumpkin.""But...I am a country bumpkin."Deli sighed, "Well, do you have to show it?""But what a
Road to Valhalla Chapter 21: Dernière
"Deli, shouldn't we check with the orphanage before getting a room? I mean, we should confirm before settling down if-""Chopper is never wrong so we don't have to confirm", Deli replied as she proceeded to check in with the old lady at reception.I wonder if what she said was true. People are dying every day on the border of Ildia. I heard after we had left Ildia that Halen was never recovered. Its people were either captured or killed, though some managed to flee to the capital. I had believed that Halen's destruction was a mistake and the yoke of it fell on both Chopper and me and yet...how can Deli be so confident about Chopper?"Let's go out after we've settled in", Deli proposed as we were putting our luggage in our room.Surprisingly, I wasn't bothered by the fact that she booked a single bedroom.Considering, I had bought nothing with me, except for a coat, I don't suppose there was much for me to do with a room either. Deli had carried a briefcase which now rested on the bed,
Road to Valhalla Chapter 22: The Forgotten Night
I found myself in the middle of the most dazzling place I had seen in my entire life. I can't say it was beautiful but it was blindingly bright. Everyone was dressed in sleek tuxedos and silky gowns that sprawled and fluttered around as they moved. Nevertheless, they were never stepped upon, not even during one of the dances. This was the discipline that Deli had called "utterly meaningless and boring". I stood like a pillar of stone in the middle of that hall. Truthfully, I couldn't tell left from right in that place and had no idea where I should go.I think I got mistaken for a waiter once or twice. I hadn't realized Deli put her fur coat on me before she left. If it weren't for that, I'd have been denied entry into such a place. The saving grace is that the coat was black and perhaps not as fancy as the other ladies had on in Dernière. I picked up a drink from one of the waiters who gave me a surprised look but retained his silence. I don't know what kind of drink it was. I hadn't
Road to Valhalla Chapter 23: Drops of Life
"I didn't want to get married. And I was never happy. But when he wasn't here anymore, life sure got sad all of a sudden. I wonder why that is. Why am I so sad?" **************Deli and I went to the orphanage which was in a secluded and more peaceful area than all of Versailles. In fact, it was on the outskirts of Versailles and there weren't a lot of convenient ways to get there. We practically had to cross a whole forest before we got to that place. I was surprised to see that it wasn't a run-down place like I had been imagining. The orphanage was called Gouttes de Vie and it was breathtakingly beautiful. I haven't been mesmerized by any building in all of Versailles as much as I was taken aback by Gouttes. Deli and I stepped out of our car which we had rented earlier this morning and stood facing the magnificent, moderately-sized orphanage. Unlike me, Deli wasn't surprised at all. I concluded she had seen this place b
Road to Valhalla Chapter 24: Awakened
"You are such a lovely guy, I couldn't just hold it in", a lustrous voice echoed in the darkness of that scarlet room."What...what are you doing...a...?""It's alright. It won't cost you much. I've been holding myself back for far too long. I can't afford to dry up like this or my beauty will..."A figure moved into vision."Amelia...?", the figure which was almost naked had bared its fangs, and was about to dig in.It growled in a low voice as its face moved closer. But just before it could thrust its teeth in, something stopped it."Deli...?!"She grabbed Amelia's neck and flung her aside as if she was a doll."Keep your filthy mug off him, ghoul!"She surely wasn't pleased though it was hard to discern what kind of look she had on her face."Ghoul...?", Amelia spat a gob of blood on her side and tried to stand up, "Who the hell are you?!"She flung forward like a beast to attack Deli who stood as calm as ever. Amelia grabbed hold of her, thrusting her claws into her arms and paws
Road to Valhalla Chapter 25: Stuck in Time
"Why do you think you ended up like this?""...""So you don't have an answer? Or is it that the answer is too hard for you to say? If you hadn't been so full of yourself, you could have saved everything. Well, you are my daughter, after all, we are just the same. Always thinking we know everything, that's in our blood. And this pride isn't something to be resented either. After all you and I...we are living for one singular goal, aren't we? I know...you understand, don't you? And that's why no matter what comes, we have to keep fighting, for our lives and for our children too." ****************Even though I now had the horse with me, I had no idea where to go. I kept going at a steady pace in an arbitrary direction, under the assumption that I had the horse's reins in my hands. Little did I know it was going where it pleased without any regard for me. I wonder why I didn't realize it but it kept on running until w
Road to Valhalla Chapter 26: The Storm of Nightmares
"Granny, I just want to go home", I was on the verge of crying, and the old lady only wanted to tell incomprehensible tales of the family of Vlad Dracul. If I had even the tiniest bit of interest in anything, it was in the fact that the old lady occasionally made dramatic movements which seemed impossible for her age."When I was a little girl, my father hid me in a trunk for 7 days!", I could barely grasp the elements of exaggeration in her stories which I don't suppose were her faults at all. For example, even seven minutes would feel like seven days in a trunk."Oh but you wouldn't understand!", she seemed to be getting tired and sat down in one of the chairs."When his daughter was born, we were relieved. They say their women don't give good births, and some don't give births at all. That's why their men abduct ladies after their hearts and turn the poor girls into one of them. And then, she was wed into a political marriage, and then she was gone. And we were all happy and we rej
Road to Valhalla Chapter 27: The Treasure
At the end of that nightmare, I was able to find the light which had been so absent in that storm. Even though, night had already fallen, it was still brighter than that storm which had left me so bruised and battered. I felt as if I had been in there for years and years. When I noticed that I could now see the ground, I dropped to my knees. I was exhausted, physically and mentally. I kept wondering if I had conveyed my thoughts to grandfather properly, if he was really able to listen and I also thought about Deli. Maybe I had been wrong about that storm...that was what I wanted to believe.I sat there helplessly, looking at my hands, covered in cuts and scrapes. I kept imagining how everything had been so utterly useless. Deli was right after all, if only I had listened. I closed my eyes as if reliving my life in that storm. It was heartbreaking even though I didn't know why it was so. But I was so out of energy that I couldn't think at all.I wonder how long I stayed like that befor
