Queen Xiong Wenling is shocked to hear what Chiyou said, she never thought she would hear this from Chiyou's mouth.
Xiong Wenling asked, "Don't you feel that you should have not told me about this? or just say these things in the open?"
Chiyou smiled and said "I know that, but i am not scared of what the world will say about me as i am proud of my parents and dont want to hide anything.
Even though i had this face, hated by many people and called as a demon,
Even though i was thrown away by my own parents, still they loved me as if i was their child.
people around the whole village hated my parents already but it became more violent when they saw me.
We were chased away by our home, by our land even though we didn't do anything wrong
Yet, they always smiled in front of me as if nothing had happened"
From his words and emotions put in every word, it is clear that Chiyou loves his parents a lot and he is proud of the fact that he is their son.
"Have you, ever thought about finding your parents?" Queen Xiong Wenling asked as she tried to touch the shoulder of Chiyou
But she took her hands back when Chiyou looked up at the sky and said "There was once a time when i asked my mother
Why don't you both leave me, it was better if i have not born
It would have been all better if i was not here,
Maybe, the pain they are receiving from society would be less...
At this, she became angry and said-
Even if the world tells me to throw you away, even if the gods of heaven themselves come down and say this to me
'Even if i am given all the luxury of the world in return for throwing you away, I will never do it
The biggest happiness of my life is you'
I am her son and for a mother, there is no way that she can throw a child away no matter how hard the circumstances are"
Chiyou took a breath, then he walked a few steps away from Xiong Wenling and said "There is only one mother and one father for me
And its, Mother - Lihua and Father - Cheng
Your highness, you asked me if i had ever thought about searching for my real parents, right?
Tell me, why should i search for them?
They throw me away the moment i was born, they hated me, they were scared of the world, but
But Father Cheng and Mother Lihua were never scared of me, why?
Why did they never throw me away?
Why did they never show dissatisfaction?
Because they really loved me, more than my real parents
For me, there is no need to have two parents...
They should be happy in their own world and i am happy in my life"
Xiong Wenling looked at the back of Chiyou, she said: "Maybe, they had some circumstances... maybe they feared something that's why they-"
Chiyou didn't let Xiong Wenling finish her words, he turned around and asked "What is the circumstances that made a mother throw her son away?
What is that fear that made a father throw away his son?
Just how big of fear or reason was that?"
Queen Wenling has nothing to answer his question, Chiyou continued to say "One don't become a parent by just giving birth to a child,
But a child is what makes you a parent.
Maybe there could be some problems,
Maybe there was a reason, i can understand that as in life i had seen various horrifying things, but still...
I don't get it, just how big was that reason? Was the world going to end if a child would have lived with their parents?"
Queen Xiong Wenling has nothing to answer Chiyou's question.
She remained silent
Dark clouds are gathering up in the sky, the rain will come very soon and the winds have started getting fast and wild.
"Then, what if they ever come to you?" Queen Xiong Wenling asked in a sad tone
Chiyou looked at the changing weather, he said "They can look at me... they can call my name...
But they shouldn't expect me to reply back to their call.
As i said, there is only one mother and one father to me and no one else can take their place"
"Okay, so that's your answer" Xiong Wenling said in a low tone
After taking a breath, Chiyou said "Queen Xiong Wenling, the weather is getting rough now, you should return to your chamber"
Xiong Wenling nodded and she was about to leave, but Chiyou suddenly stopped her.
"Your highness, please stop for a second"
"What happened King Chiyou?"
As Xiong Wenling turned to see or hear the reason, she saw a flower in the hands of Chiyou, a yellow flower
Chiyou plucked a flower from the garden and while presenting it to Xiong Wenling, he said "This is the flower that i used to give to my mother and father every new year, to signify my respect, admiration, and love for her.
I would like to give it to you"
"Me...?" Xiong Wenling is shocked right now
Chiyou could see her hesitation, he smiled and said "I am not trying to make some relationship with you,
I am just showing my respect for you.
Your words and the warmness in those words made me remember my parents.
That's why its okay if you don't want to take it. I may be asking for too much, i am sorry"
"No, i will take it.
Its a flower you gave me with full respect, how can i say no to it" Xiong Wenling said as she took the flower
From behind, the three brothers came calling for their mother and saw Chiyou and their mother together.
Their eyes are not showing any love or warmness like Xiong Wenling, but hatred
"Just why are you with our mother?"
