" Supervision within an area of ten meters, night vision, and the ability to see through almost everything. Finally, I did it, I became a rank nine mystic, an existence beyond humans, and at last, I am able to help Amelia get rid of her pain and solve her condition once and for all. " and with that said Chris slowly walk up and started to head towards Amelia's room with steps filled with anticipation.
. . . . . . . .
' My name is Amelia Alexander. '
' I was born in the Alexander family. A noble family of the Azue kingdom and a family in charge of the City of Trion. '
' I grew up well and at the same time, I received education in various fields, like economics, politics, mathematics, language, manners, etc. '
' Even though my life was quite strict, it was also fulfilling as I never lacked anything. '
' All went well until one night, something happened and took away my parents and the peaceful life we were living thus far. '
' That night I was sixteen years old when that incident happened, so I could vaguely understand what was going on, for the most part at least. '
' I laid down on my bed and read a classic romance book like every night, my favorite genre. '
' The lamp beside me gave just enough light for me to see the words on the book. '
' Everything was so serene and quiet. It was exactly like the calm before the storm. '
' I put the book aside and got ready to fall asleep. '
' But right at that moment, the calamity struck down the door of our house as well as our family. '
Bang!
' I was startled and immediately got up from the bed right as I was about to fall asleep, and ran towards the main room to see what was happening. '
' As I ran down the stairs that led to the main room, I heard people screaming as well as my father and my mother who was crying. '
" Jack Alexander, with the decree in my hands I deem you and your wife to public execution for the treason you have committed, and at the same time all your wealth will be confiscated, any last words? "
" George I know that you don't like me but isn't it accusing of treason a bit too much. Have you gone mad? Tell me what did I, Jack Alexander who devoted my life to the kingdom, have done wrong to deserve such a treatment, Tell ME. " Jack screamed aloud, his voice filled with indescribable rage.
" Jack, to tell you honestly even though I don't like you, it isn't to the extent that I want to kill you, but you offended a person that you should have never offended. " George sighed as he slowly talked about the truth.
" Who, who did I offend to deserve this please you can at least tell me that much before you take me to my death. " Jack slowly spoke with his face slightly pale as he seemed to have realized something.
" Jack I'm sure you already know who I am talking about, it is the person who tried to violate your wife at the banquet the night before tomorrow. You shouldn't have hit him and humiliate him. " George shook his head as he said those words.
" This...this, how could this happen what power does this guy have to make all this happen? "
" You may not know, but this person is actually the son of a rank four Mystic, an existence at the demigod level, even if we put together all the mages and warriors of our kingdom we are unable to do anything to him. I'm really sorry about this. "
" Sigh. What use does your apology have, what ought to happen has already happened. "
' At that moment I arrived down the stairs and the scene before me left me stunned in my place, not knowing what to do. '
' The door that led outside was broken to pieces. Dozens of soldiers were standing lined up outside while some of them were inside. The soldiers inside were holding my mother and father, they had them kneel to the ground facing a middle-aged man. My father was talking with the man whose name is George from what I heard from their conversation just now. '
' My father's face was ashen gray and he seemed to have aged considerably, while my mother's face was covered with dried up tears as she kept sobbing and her eyes red with some blood around them apparently from crying too much. '
' The moment I arrived at the main room all eyes turned on me. My father looked into my eyes and smiled at me affectionately, before turning around and looking towards George once again. '
" George, I understand now, and I really regret not killing that bastard right there and then. Sigh, truly unfortunate. " Jack said with his voice expressing his deep regret.
" I just have one question, what will happen to our daughter? "
" That person said to bring your daughter to him, but I plan to leave her to the orphanage of Lady Luck's church, and then report that she escaped. "
Hearing this Jack couldn't help from being moved as he expressed his thanks with his voice which was filled with gratitude, sincerity, and relief.
" Thank you, George, even though I didn't like you and we always went against each other you still were willing to help me in these circumstances, thank you. I just have one more favor to ask, if you could let us have some time with our daughter. "
George sighed again before motioning for the guards to let Jack and his wife go before retreating outside with them.
' At that moment, I was still stunned from the shock I received upon hearing their conversation. It was like thunder had struck me and made my body numb and unable to move, while tears flowed down my face. '
' My father got up with my mother and held her hands as they slowly made their way towards me. '
' They stood before reached out their hand and caressed my face to wipe off my tears. '
" Amelia we are sorry but we won't be able to see you grow up in the future. "
" You better forget us and live your own life, find someone to fall in love with, and then make your own family with him. I know you don't like children and I won't ask you to make descendants, all I want you to do is to find someone who will take care of you and to sincerely love you. That is my final wish for you. " Amelia's mother, Amanda spoke as she looked into her daughter's slightly dazed eyes.
" My daughter, I hope for you to take your mother's words seriously and forget about us and live your life as you will. The only thing I want to ask you is to have a strong character in the future so nobody will be able to bully you in the future. " Amelia's father Jack, spoke as he also looked into his daughter's eyes, waiting for her to reply.
' Right then I was still dazed from the huge shock of the events, but I heard clearly all the words my mother and father spoke to me. '
' And as I heard them I couldn't help but cry even louder, hoping that with my tears flowing out, my sorrow will also follow suit. '
' After a while, I finally stop crying and spoke to them with a trembling voice. '
" I-I pro...promise y-you. "
' As those words left my mouth, so did my parents started walking away towards the soldiers, leaving me behind them as I watched their backs. '
' No, I couldn't just watch them leave me like that, and so I ran after them, only to be stopped by the soldiers, while my throat started to throb with pain from my screams. '
' When my throat started to hurt even more, and my screams grew louder while my parents were getting further and further away from me, I suddenly felt a pain at the back of my head, and my consciousness started to slowly but steadily fading away. '
The moment Amelia's screams stopped, Jack looked back and show George who was holding his unconscious daughter in his arms and said to him once again with deep sincerity in his tone.
" Thank you " those were Jack's last words as his and his wife's figures were vanishing into the horizon, under the company of the kingdom's soldiers.
