" Well I think I should wake up or that old geezer will scold me like every morning rahh . Why is he so lenient towards the other kids and makes me do everything ?" Hidory thought about that thing every minute. After he finished streching, the young boy went downstairs to see what was at breakfast.
" Hello Hidory, grandpa didn't have to wake you up with a bucket of water like yesterday bahaha" said a small kid with black hair. After his words, everybody in the room bursted out laughing , 2 young boys , a lil girl and an old woman. Except our protagonist of course.
"You shouldn't make fun of him, Flin. He was the favorite of grandpa until he reached 16 years old."
"Thanks grandma I always knew that you were the best personn here." said Hidory while sticking out his tongue to the so-called Flin.
An adult in soldier's uniform appeared at the doorstep, came straight to him and said :
"Don't act like a kid Hidory. I will told you the reason why Grandpa is furious these days. You missed the adulthood ceremony damn ... Everybody in the village is mocking you behind your back and called you the dumbass etc . Even the kid of the Walter's family, that pig face , has succeed even if he doesn't speak correctlly ... "
"Yes I know that I screwed it up but I couldn't resolve myself to beat that poor Tim . His mom will receive an allowance once he became a soldier like you big bro ... " replied Hidory with a sad expression on his face.
"Yep I know, but thanks to your defeat , Grandpa's position as the mayor of this village is questionned by almost every men because if he isn't even capable of making of one of his heir a warrior he doesn't have the right to lead them in battle ". The tension began to rise and Pierre dared to tone.
The big guy approched Hidory, seemingly wanting to beat him. He raised his hand and began to slash it like a sword. The air around it began to vibrate and Hidory felt that something dangerous was approching his head and he closed his eyes.
He grited his teeth, expecting to feel an enormous pain in the next few seconds but it's doesn't happened. He just heard a big noise and someone'growning of pain. He opened his eyes and saw Pierre lying in the rest of the previous dining table near the fire place and an old man wearing a dark cloak with some crimson reflections on it. The arrival of that man changed the atmosphereq. Before, everyone was relaxed but now an oppressive aura filled the entire room with that mysterious man at the center.
" Pierre, you piece of shit ! You dare to use a knight technique in my house and on one of your brother! How many times did I have to tell you. Touch one of my son and I will break both of your legs even if your are my direct heir !" yelled the mysterious man .
Pierre stood up and cleaned the dust on his unifomorm. He grited his teeth and said " Sorry uncle , I just wanted to teach something to our dear Hidory. He made you lose face and some are even questionning your position as the Mayor ... Even if I overstepped my rights , you shouldn't kick me like that for that kid..."
He wanted to continue but the old man's gaze stop him in his tracks. The furious Pierre took courage with both hands and said :
" I'm not the kid of the past, old man. You can't silence me withou speaking. I will finish what I was saying . You shouln't protect him. You were already plenty kind to pick him up in that shithole when he was a kid. And I don't give a fuck if you're angry and not . ALL OF YOUR MENACES AREN'T EFFECTIVE AGAINST ME NOW. "
The temperature in the room dropped even further. So much that the little girl sitting next to the fire shivered. The old man then spoke with a broad voice and said : " Kid you're still in my house and even if I want to kill you no one will have a word to say. Don't think that I'm not doing anything to you because of Sir Adrien . No no, he will not say a thing for a common soldier like you but for your dead father I will pardon you this time but the next time you show up before my eyes I will not be so kind . I will kill you "
After that , the cloacked man sat on one of the chair still present and talk to the young girl about her day like nothing happened 2 seconds earlier. The soldier left the room, slamming the door behind him.
