Chereads / The rebirth of Eros / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

I was pensive alone beside a pond filled with goldfish, the scenery is so beautiful and cool at this time. I remember the moments with Kate 1 year ago who celebrated her birthday in a small lake in the La Hevre area, France. At that time even she could still smile and hug me warmly, lean her head on my shoulder and I will kiss the top of her head warm. Aaaarrrrggghhh why do I still remember the girl who just 3 days ago made me hurt.

"Conan", the voice began to be familiar to my ears.

Yes, my half brother Gerald has now sat beside me, his gaze is now staring straight at the pool without flinching at all. I glanced at her face from the side, her jaw was so sturdy for her age, her pupils were blue as clear as the cold pool water in front of me, her nose was so sharp and pointed, her eyelashes were curled, and her eyebrows were thick. What a perfect creation of God. I never even found such a handsome face in London, where I live.

"Why Conan?" He asked without turning his head.

To be honest, I was shocked and embarrassed when he realized that I was staring at him.

"Is something wrong with me Conan?"

I shook my head.

"Do you know something Conan?"

I frowned at Gerald in confusion.

"The descendants of the king Orcano from Alastair have learned about the prophecy of The Warrior Wizard Eros' rebirth and the people from other dimensions Eros chose to help him"

Whattt !!! Eros will be reborn? and people from other dimensions? Could it be me? Wait, if I was the one Eros chose, that would mean ....

"Are you Eros reborn, Gerald?" I asked spontaneously.

Looks like this person beside me is chuckling softly while tapping my shoulder.

Is there something wrong? I thought frantically starting to not be able to understand this story line.

"That may sound ridiculous, but we will never know who Eros is among us before that time comes."

"what time?", I asked absently.

"when the system is ready to be activated by Eros energy"

I was silent, for some reason, as if my mouth was speechless to say something, my brain was very fast to work with. As if there was a video from the past that suddenly appeared in my head, could this be Conan's real body memory?

"I heard you are a great person Conan", added Gerald made me turn his head to look at him.

"When you were in the orphanage, I heard the news that you were able to tame a lion in the forest of Artemis, even when you faced Prince Dre from the land of Icarus, you used your brain to fight him more than your muscles. That is very impressive in my opinion. , that's why I want my father to adopt you. In addition to attracting the sympathy of the people for him to become king, also for my friend and teacher to be the successor of Eros "

Hah? I'm sure my face is now covered with a big question mark in front of Gerald. Is this Conan figure that great? Wait a minute, did he say he would make me his teacher? It's ridiculous, I can't even beat my neighbor's bulldog, let alone beat a lion.

"You want to be my teacher, right?", he begged

Not!!!!

"Umm .... I don't think I'm that great Gerald"

Yes, why do I have to say this soft speech that comes out of my lips ...

"You are great Conan, I believe you are my best teacher"

Not!!!

"I don't know, I'm not sure", damn, why can't I say that one word ....

"but I'm sure"

What?? But I'm not sure and I don't want to.

"but I'm not Gerald"

"we can try it slowly", said Gerald somehow confidently.

"Hey, you two", called out a familiar voice in my ear.

The two of us turned around at the same time to find the well-built young prince standing a few meters behind us.

"What are you doing there?" Asked Christoffer.

"just enjoying my uncle's view", replied Gerald.

Christoffer nodded understandingly before walking over to us and sitting next to me.

To be honest, I don't even understand the plot of the story after Eros's disappearance in my grandfather's script, I don't even know the main character? who? Gerald? Or me? hahaha ... it would be ridiculous for me to suddenly become the main character, while Eros's successor is Gerald. But what kept me wondering was the prophecy that Eros would be reborn in this century, even now. But where he is and who he is, no one knows.

=====

"King Zarel of Alastair tried to break through palace security, Your Majesty", said one of the soldiers to King Charlos who was sitting in the palace meeting room with his extended family, including me.

"What are they here for?" Asked the king of Charlos in a cold tone.

"they want to find 2 children in the prophecy, especially the prince Gerald who will be Eros's defender"

Gerald and I stare at each other.

"Bring out all the royal armies and secure Prince Gerald", ordered the king of Charlos firmly.

"we got it your majesty"

the soldier immediately bowed his salute and hurried away.

"Dad, we can't just stand by, we have to fight", that idiot Erland replied with meaningless words.

"You will create war if we advance", slammed the king of Charlos.

"Shouldn't we hasten our training to Prince Gerald just in case a situation like this happens again?"

Christoffel's argument was immediately thought of by the king at this time, it was so visible on the king's grim face that was already covered in wrinkles.

"Christoffel is right, we must immediately train Gerald to be the successor of Eros"

And yet again this shocking situation occurred, causing Gerald and I to stare at each other questioningly.

"Are you ready Gerald?" Asked Christoffel.

"Yes I'm ready"

The face of my dear stepfather snorted in annoyance, if there was an election here to elect a candidate for head of state, I might vote for Christoffel with confidence.

Hohoho ,, somehow I feel very happy hearing my stepfather's defeat for the umpteenth time.

"Conan"

I turned to stare at the source of the voice, of course my proud step-uncle, Christoffer.

"You are Gerald's teacher from now on and can't be bothered anymore", he said.

What ?? Okay now suddenly the feeling of happiness because of my stepfather's defeat began to disappear. Lord, I am willing for you to take my life now. Aaaarrrrgggghhhhhh what should I do? conquer the lion? right?

"Can you do it Conan?"

Christoffer's deep voice was full of enthusiasm.

I did not answer, I looked one by one the eyes of everyone who looked at me in that room, as if they wanted an answer that would benefit them, except for one. My stepmother, Natelie Faith Invander, who is now looking at me full of great hope, the blue eyes as if to say "don't disappoint Eros who has chosen you"

I sighed softly, as if my throat had been caught so I didn't let my voice come out at all. Only the wry smile from my lips represented that answer, I'm not sure.
