Alucard's POV:
As I keep on witnessing all his heroic deeds into his photo album, I couldn't help myself but regarded him as a hero.
Well my mama is also awesome, really, but I adored my papa more.
*smile*
I... want to be like him someday...
A man full of heroism, and chivalric spirit.
A man who's ready to help someone in need.
A man who sided with Justice.
A man- *cough* cough*
F*ck!
I accidentally swallowed my-
*cough* *cough*
-my snot.
*cough* *cough*
*smile*
. . .
*saddened*
It's depressing to know that the moment they're deployed on a mission, I couldn't help myself but....
. . .
Pray, day and night to the Lord of Light to keep them safe throughout their journey, and prevent them from any anomalies during their mission.
. . .
*hmph*
It's their duty as a knights. They're required to participate in every mission given by their high officials.
. . .
And...
What can a mere child like me can do? They're the proud knights of the Moniyan Empire. They hold great reputation and honor in their shoulders. They have big responsibilities to fulfill, to keep this land from getting harm.
. . .
*saddened*
I can't get rid of this anxiety. I'm... I'm already aware of their countless triumphs and deeds but how come I can't help myself being anxious?
*hesitate*
I just can't.
. . .
It's... depressing to think that they... they...
*saddened*
No! I won't cry!
*pumped*
Instead of crying, I need believe at my mama and papa. I'm sure they'll bring another triumph and honor with them like the good old days!
*pumped*
I'm pretty sure they'll march again at Oracle Plaza and once again I'll destroy my vocal cords for that.
Heheheheheh!
. . .
*slap both sides of the face*
"Alucard, keep it together maan! Mama and Papa are the best, especially Papa! I'm sure their regiment will come back in triumph! Just believe and stop being anxious, understand??!"
- I cheered myself.
When I slapped my face both sides, my papa and mama looked at me, confused.
"Are you okay, son? Why are you hurting yourself?"
- my papa asked.
"I'm pretty much fine papa! I need to MAN UP so I could swoop some admirers and SURPASS YOU!"
- I said confidently.
"Oh? Such charisma! *laugh* As expected of my son. You really inherited my awesome charisma there boy!"
- my papa said cheerfully.
"A charisma that struck your mother's heart."
- my papa said comically.
"*glare* Really, sweety pie? Want another Retribution slap? I'll be honored to do so."
- my mama funnily threaten my papa.
"NO THANK YOU, MA'AM!"
- my papa flinched.
"Okay dear, stay right here. Mama and Papa will be back in a jiffy. Let's go sweety pie."
- my mama said.
"My pleasure, sweetheart."
- my papa said.
Mama and papa head out and start preparing themselves for their mission.
. . .
And I, was left alone, watching behind their backs, hopelessly.
- - - Minutes have passed - - -
After waiting for so long, mama and papa came out, fully equipped and armed with armors.
*armor clanging sounds*
Well of course they are, they'll set out for a mission after all.
*Hmph!*
Simple logic folks!
. . .
As they come closer towards me, I couldn't help myself but saddened.
*saddened*
I'll await another days for them to be back here at Lumina, again.
. . .
"Mama! Papa!"
- I pretended.
"Sorry for keeping you wait, son! You see, your mama here is-"
- my papa said.
"Say it or I'll smack your head using my gigantic shield. What should you do, sweety pie?"
- my mama said in pissed tone.
"*shiver* okay... I won't dare, sweetheart."
- my papa trembled.
"Your mama is a hot-tempered woman, that's why I like her."
- my papa whispered to me.
. . .
"Woah! You look AWESOME mama! Papa! I mean, look at those shiny, golden thingies! And OH MY GOD! BIG O' SWORD AND SHIELD!! Where are you going? Are you gonna KICK SOME BAD*SS DEMONS AGAIN??! "
- I pretend to be surprised.
"OH F*CK YES, MY SON! Me, and your mama are going to kick some demon *ss*s!"
- my papa replies.
While me and papa are having a nice conversation, mama suddenly gone very mad.
"Oh sh*t, I got carried away!!"
- my papa cowered in fear.
"HOW COULD YOU TEACH YOUR SON TO SPEAK FOUL WORDS, YOU INSOLENT FOOL!!!"
- my mama slam her shield to him many times.
"*goat scream* I'm sorry!!!!"
- my papa begs comically.
- - - - - Meanwhile - - - - -
[ After mama beating my papa comically ]
"Dear, me and your papa performed another 4th alliance for the said mission. This will take us time to accomplish this since we'll be performing a patrol near the borders of the Lantis Mountains and the Shadow Swamp from Azyrya Woodlands."
- my mama said.
( Narrator: Lantis Mountain a mountain that blocks the corrosion of the Abyss )
( Narrator: Shadow Swamp is a forest corroded by the Abyss of the Azyrya mountain )
We are tasked to annihilate any of demon that nest or resides near the place I have mentioned."
- my mama explains.
My mama seriously explaining things and my papa?
"*groan*"
- my papa lies on the ground.
Lies on the ground, beaten up. And me? I listen to my mama, in fear. ( comically )
"The Elves may have cut their ties and refuse to offer any aid towards the empire but still, we, and your papa still going to help them despite knowing the consequences of our actions."
- my mama said.
"Our ancestors have been in a good alliance with the Elves, especially your papa, who's godfather that's been fighting along side with them for such a long time."
- my mama said.
"Even if both sides refuses to offer aid and form an alliance to one another, me and your father will be the one to do so, no matter what the cost it'll be. Even if it means disobeying the laws of the current empire, the legacy of the past shall not be forgotten."
- my mama said seriously.
. . .
"While we're away, your father and I have agreed that we'll let the Light's Order take care of you temporarily."
- my mama said.
*saddened*
"While we're gone, please be a good boy, okay?"
- my mama smiled.
"I will mama."
- I replied.
"Paul."
- my mama called.
"Yes, mistress Margarette?"
- Mr. Paul replies.
"Can you take my son to the Oracle Plaza? You see, my son likes to watch some knights that march there. *laugh* He never missed any and *giggle* he loves to shout at them."
- my mama said.
"Your wish is my command Mistress Margarette."
- Mr. Paul replied.
"Now dear, go. Sir Paul here's gonna accompany you towards the plaza. *smile* Your father and I promise that we will try our best to look bold, and mighty as we march. We guarantee you that!"
- my mama cheered me.
. . .
"I will mama. *fake smile* I promise to witness it no matter what."
- I replied.
"That's my boy."
- my mama replied full of doubts and sadness.
*saddened*
"ALRIGHT!"
- I said while pumping up.
"Let's go, Mr. Paul! Let's go, let's go!"
- I said.
"Okay, sir Alucard..."
- Mr. Paul replied.
"Mistress Margarette, we'll be taking our leave now."
- Mr. Paul said.
Then, Mr. Paul and I left head towards the Oracle Plaza as soon as possible.
Narrator's POV:
Young Alucard and Sir Paul left immediately. When the two of them left the Order, Margarette, Alucard's mother, watching her child filled with sadness and comfort.
"Alucard, my son."
- Margarette said in a worried tone.
While watching her son walks away, Zemislav, Alucard's father, came to her side and grabbed her trembling, right hand.
"! ! !"
- Margarette shocked.
"It's gonna be okay, sweetheart. Our boy is brave and strong-willed."
- Zemislav said.
"But, we weren't able to tell him that our mission is risky than any of the mission we've achieved so far. What if-"
- Margarette anxiously said.
Margarette is trembling and struck by intense anxiousness but Zemislav pat her shoulders and he diverted her attention to him.
He closed his face distance to hers.
"Sweetheart, calm down. Look at me, I said look at me in the eyes."
- Zemislav said.
"? ? ?"
- Margarette looked at him.
"We know that our lives are uncertain eversince we entered knighthood. Well, most of the time hehehehe!"
- Zemislav brighten up the mood.
*a moment of silence*
"We dedicated our lives for the safety of the Moniyan Citizens and glory of the Empire. We made that vow before, is it not?"
- Zemislav said.
"Yes."
- Margarette replied worriedly.
"*smile* Margarette, have you seen that man named Barry?"
- Zemislav asked.
"You see him meeting up with his daughter, am I right? ... And well... I don't know what they talked about. Sorry about that. Ahahahaha! But anyway, he may not an official like us but look at him again, he didn't faltered a bit and he never showed weakness in front of his daughter. Amazing, isn't he?"
- Zemislav calmed her anxious wife.
*a moment of silence*
"Barry taught me that we must look brave and not show any weakness in front of our child. We must show our son our great strengths, our bravery, and our chivalric spirits! *smile*"
- Zemislav cheered her.
*a moment of silence*
"Sweetheart, one last thing."
- Zemislav said.
"Have you read our boy gestures and body behaviors?"
- Zemislav said.
"? ? ?"
- Margarette wondered.
"He's trembling."
- Alucard's father gone serious.
"! ! !"
- Alucard's mother shocked.
"Didn't you know? The moment we three entered the perimeters of the Order, he's trembling in fear and became doubtful. He's been anxious all the time and I, noticed that."
- Zemislav said.
"But you know what? Even our boy is frigging anxious he still tries to act bold in front of us."
- Zemislav said in a calm tone.
"And also, do you know what amazed me towards our son for the previous missions we've achieved so far? *smiled* He never cried, even once."
- Zemislav said.
"! ! !"
- Margarette surprised.
"If it's harder for us, what about him? He's having a hardest moments than any of us. I know you know that he's still a kid, and we know for a fact that a kid like him find it hard to live alone and spend less time to their family. I'm pretty sure you are aware, sweetheart."
- Zemislav said.
". . ."
- Margarette listens.
"Because of that, his mindset behaves like an adult rather than a child. *saddened* Which is... not yet time for him to think that way."
- Zemislav said worriedly.
"But what could we possibly do? He needs to behave like that in order not to show any concerns and worries to his parents."
- Zemislav said calmly.
*a moment of silence*
"Back when I was in his age, I've been crying non-stop and begging to my parents not to leave me. *laugh* For f*ck*r's sake, I'm so f*ck*ng awful. *laugh*"
- Zemislav said embarrassedly.
"*awkward laugh* I can still the remember the days when I was holding into my mother's left knee, screaming like a goat so loud in the crowd and got dragged like a helpless f*ck*ng sh*t. *laugh*"
- Zemislav said comically.
*a moment of silence*
"Surely, our son is growing up so fast. *saddened* MAAAN! *fake laugh* He's so.... so... *emotional* considerate!"
- Zemislav said comically with a mixture of sadness.
"*smile* Indeed, he is without a doubt, a promising strong-willed and brave man someday."
- Zemislav said in a depressing tone.
*a moment of silence*
"Knowing that our lives is full of uncertainty, it doesn't mean we'll cower and give up! Instead, we have to fight! If fate is inevitable, it doesn't mean we'll let fate do it's schemes. We need to keep moving forward!"
- Zemislav boldy said.
"*inspired*"
- Margarette was moved by surprised.
"Well, except for you my sweetheart. I could carry you in a bridal style as we move forward. Heheheheh! I wouldn't let any dirt nor dust stain your feet. *flirty wink* Hehehehe!"
- Zemislav teases funnily.
"*slap Zemislav's shoulder gently* Oh stop acting like that ya know? You starting to look flirtatious, sweety pie."
- Margarette admitted defeat and out of words, in a funny way.
When Margarette smiles in comfort, Zemislav touch her chin and close his face to hers (so close ), again.
"I'm only showing my flirtatious side on you only sweetheart."
- Zemislav said in a serious, stern look.
"Ze.. Zemislav?! You're too-"
- Margarette gone flustered.
"My flirty side *flirty gaze*, I'm only showing this to you because I loved you, sweetheart."
- Zemislav showed his flirty side to her.
*a moment of silence*
"*laugh in disbelief* Oh sweety pie, stop acting like that. *giggle*"
- Margarette giggles.
"And why would I stop?"
- Zemislav seriously with a mixture of flirtatious behavior of his.
"Well... *laugh gently*... You see, I.... *laugh gently* *giggles*"
- Margarette laughs.
When Zemislav saw that the anxiousness which his wife have before have slowly disappeared, he let's out a heart-warming smile.
"*smile* Well, I guess you finally calmed down now."
- Zemislav said.
"! ! !"
- Margarette's surprised.
"*smile gently* Thank you, sweety."
- Margarette calmly replied.
*a moment of silence*
"Alright! Our men have waited too long outside! Let's go now sweetheart. Probably, our son have already arrived at the plaza and we're making him waited for too long there."
- Zemislav said.
"Agreed... We have to move now. Let's show our son our greatest entrance of all times!"
- Margarette said while she is pumped up.
"*smile* That's the expression I wanna see for so long... It sure does bring back the good ol' days."
- Zemislav said in a heart-warming tone.
"*giggles* Cut it out sweety. *gentle laugh*"
- Margarette giggles in joy.
Now, Zemislav and Margarette step out of the Order's Big Entrance Door, looking all bold and mighty.
"ALRIGHT! BUCKLE UP EVERYONE!"
- Zemislav shouts.
"*alerted*"
- all knights of Second Regiment.
"Second Regiment, let's.... MOVE OUT!!!"
- Zemislav shouts.
"YES SIR!!!"
- Second regiment yells.
Now, the marching have started and heard throughout the Order.
*armor clanging march*
And they're making their way, towards the Oracle Plaza.
