[ 4 o'clock in the Afternoon, at Knight/Light's Order, here at Lumina City ]
Alucard's POV:
*staring at the Lobby*
*sigh*
This... is...
*yawn*
Getting way too boring...
*drowsy eyes*
*remembering the scene where Alucard's was whining and one of the high ranks of the Order threatens him*
*tch!*
I can't believe they actually threaten me in the past hours.
*grumping*
I was just crying back then, and they threat me they'll never give me any food if I won't stop whining?
. . .
*tch!*
Like, MAAAN!
Who wouldn't cry in boredom here??! I'm so bored! I wanna play!
Can't they not give me that simple task?
*drowsy behavior*
I'm starting to look like I wanted to get everyone's attention or whatsoever!
*pouting*
Or more like I'm an Attention Seeker now, huh??!
*grumping*
*ugh!*
I can't stand this..
*slamming the table*
I wanna go home...
. . .
I wanna go home! I wanna go home! I WANNA GO HOME D*MN IT!!!
*sigh*
. . .
While I was busy ranting on myself, a female knight approached me.
"Hello there cutie? Are you perhaps referred as Alucard?"
- the female knight ask.
"WHO ELSE DOES ANYONE HERE NAMED ALUCARD?? You son of a holy cow's excrement!"
- I shouted in annoyance.
*crow of awkwardness*
"? ? ?"
- the female knight wondered, funnily.
"Oh wait, you're not a boy... Give me a sec.... *clears throat* WHO ELSE DOES ANYONE HERE NAMED ALUCARD?? You daughter of a holy cow's excrement!"
- I repeated.
. . .
This is totally weird....
"Oh, sorry for being a fool back then. *laugh in awkwardness* My bad. *laugh*"
- the female knight apologized.
. . .
*the female knight's eyes are shimmering*
*the female knight start pinching Alucard's rosy cheeks*
"Such a cute young man! Ooh! So cute!"
- the female knight pinch my cheeks and about to cuddle me.
"Wait a minute... HEY??! I SAID WAIT A BLASTED MINUTE!!"
- I said in annoyed tone.
*the female knight continues pinching and cuddling young Alucard*
"UGH! I'm so sorry but I can't stop! *pinching* You're just way too cute! I cannot imagine that I would be assign to a task to stroll you outside!"
- the female knight still cuddles me.
"HEY!? I SAID- wait..."
- I realized.
"Did you just say you are appointed to stroll me outside?"
- I ask confusedly.
"Oh yes! The higher officials knows you are bored. They keep on seeing you causing trouble yet, in the end, you helped the fellow knights at the Light's Order."
- the female knight said.
"Please don't make me remind that."
- I said awkwardly.
"So, they gave me a task to babysit you. Well, only for a limited time though."
- the knight said.
. . .
"So Sir Alucard, as a token of gratitude of helping the knights, you earned to wander outside with my watch."
- the knight said.
*Alucard's grumpy expression changes to excitement*
"Really???! You mean it??!"
- I said excitedly.
"Yes but..."
- the female said in a joy to low tone.
? ? ?
"They gave me a condition though."
- the female knight said in a low tone.
. . .
"I'm so sorry Sir Alucard."
- the female knight apologized.
. . .
*the female knight and Alucard are having a conversation*
*depressed*
*a moment of silence*
She told me about all the conditions.
. . .
Well, upon hearing it, it feels like it's just the same as not really enjoying the fun of strolling outside.
. . . .
*sigh in displeasure*
I hate being a kid....
- - - Minutes have passed - - -
Narrator's POV:
Minutes have passed, Alucard and the female knight start wandering outside of the Order.
*Alucard and the female knight walks in joy*
There are tons of beautiful places to go.
*crowd noises*
It's your decision where you'd like to go.
*quack!*
The decisions are all yours to make.
*crowd walking noises*
Many people are divided into many districts or places here in Lumina.
But since Alucard and the female knight chooses the place filled with tons of people wandering outside, they go there instead.
*crowd chattering*
Many street performers have performed a parade at the road...
*street performers appears*
Many goodies stalls...
*sizzling and fuzzy noises*
And many caravans have stationed which was used by merchants and etc.
*merchants endorsing their products*
. . .
A lot have appeared in this section where Alucard and the female knight decided to stroll with.
While walking around, Alucard noticed that the place they're in is the section where Carnival occurs in Lumina City.
*carnival sounds intensifies*
Alucard remembered that today's month is "Summer Gala", a carnival which always celebrated when Summer season occurs.
*crowd festive noises intensifies*
There are four types of Season Gala that always celebrated here in Lumina City;
( 1 ) Spring
( 2 ) Summer
( 3 )Autumn
( 4 ) Winter
It's the reason why many tourist from other cities visits Lumina City every season.
And why this City's flaming with enjoyment.
*crowd noises*
Alucard remembered this section called 'The Carnival District of Lumina City'.
*crowd cheering*
In this district, tons of things can be seen here like;
( 1 ) Festivals
( 2 ) Different styles of clothing was shown by different merchandiser
( 3 )Rare gems and accessories
( 4 ) Weapons
( 5 ) Street foods and etc.
*festival sounds rolling*
Everything that are shown in here makes Alucard amazed and started to act childish.
Alucard's POV:
Wow! I can't believe that today is the Grand Opening of Summer Gala!
I.. I mean, I didn't even noticed that today's Summer already!
*pump*
HOLY MACARONI!
I want to go all out right now!
*pumped*
My adrenaline is overloading maan!! I wanna run wild!
*pumping*
*Alucard saw the street performers*
*Alucard was surprised*
Wow! There are tons of tall people wearing long, striped pants!
And....
*Alucard show lots of street performers*
Oh! OH!!

*Alucard's eyes were shimmering in awe*
*suddenly a person who performs incredible and unbelievable feats have marched the streets*
Wait.. wait! Are those Magicians!?
*Alucard saw a technology stuffs on the floating parade*
Science fare!
*circus animals noises*
Animal Circus!??

*pumped*
*Alucard saw lots*
And MANY MORE!!!
*Eeep!!!*
D*NG IT!! I WANNA-
*Alucard remembered that his parents were on a mission*
*Alucard's excitement disappeared*
. . .
*depressed*
Oh yeah...
. . .
I completely forgotten that mama and papa went on a mission yesterday.
*saddened*
. . .
*the female knight approached young Alucard*
"Oh? I forgot to introduce myself to you, Sir Alucard.... Hehehehe! I'm Betty. Nice to meet ya!"
- Sis Betty wink at me.
"And it was not nice to meet you."
- I joked.
"Hey..."
- Sis Betty pouts.
"Anyways, sorry for late introductions. Heheheh! My bad."
- Sis Betty said.
"Who cares about late introductions? No one even cares if you introduce yourself or not."
- I rudely said.
"Hey, hey... Don't be so cold on me, ya know? I'm a sensitive person. I tend to get emotional when someone speak ill and hate me immediately ya know."
- Sis Betty said.
. . .
*Betty saw the depressed face of Alucard*
"Hey? Why's the long face? Aren't you happy seeing this Marvelous, and Joyous occasion within your Adorable, Sapphire-like Eyes of yours?"
- Sis Betty ask.
. . .
*Betty gone awkward when she got a silent response of Alucard*
"Okay... Let's stroll some more!"
- Sis Betty cheered me up.
. . .
So yeah, we started to walk again.
*depressed*
. . .
Sis Betty keeps on showing me all the funny stuffs.
*Betty saw a cotton candy seller and his stall*
*Betty smiled and get Alucard's attention*
She even wants to buy some cotton candy for the both of us...
"Hey? Sir Alucard, did you see that? It's the cotton candy! Wanna take a bite on it? Hehehehe! Don't worry, it's all on me."
- Sis Betty cheerfully said.
*Alucard see her in the eye, with full of sadness*
As much as my tummy and mind crave for taking a bite on it...
*Alucard remembered the things they discussed before they left and wander*
*saddened*
I remembered the conditions she told me.
*depressed*
"A knight must not spend money on something unnecessary, unless it's urgent."
. . .
*grit*
*depressed*
*Alucard looked at Betty in pity*
*Alucard remembered what his parents and the high ranks used to discussed before which he just happened to accidentally eavesdrop them*
. . .
"Knights who disobeyed the laws that has been implemented during their tasks or mission depicts their reputation as a knights."
. . .
I often heard my parents talking about that matter before.
. . .
"Knights who have poor performance during their assigned mission or tasks, will be having a hard time raising their ranks."
"Most importantly, their performance also affect their promised privileges. Their assured privileges won't be granted once a knight having a bad performance during his/her duty."
. . .
I often heard those things all the time.
Ya know, just hearing those f*ck*ng informations from my mama and papa accidently.
. . .
It doesn't mean I am eavesdropping my mama, papa, and high official's business okay? I hate butting on someone's business.
*Alucard looked on Betty*
. . .
Judging by Sis Betty's behavior, it seems she's not fully aware of the consequences.
As if, she's just being care-free and doesn't aware of the privileges she'll acquire.
She doesn't a type of person though. If we are just judging.
. . .
*saddened*
*Alucard suddenly become emotional*
Well, I guess I should be the one to avoid these consequences to occur.
*sad smile*
I just have to avoid it since I am aware, thanks to my mama and papa.
. . .
*Alucard pinch Betty's clothing which calls Betty's attention*
"Oh? Sir Alucard, have you already decided to-?"
- Sis Betty cheerfully ask.
"I'd like to Sis Betty but... I hate sweets. It'll destroy my beautiful, and strong white teeth of mine."
- I rudely said.
"Ooh?? I'm aware Sir Alucard but you can just brush your teeth after we-?"
- Sis Betty cheerfully replied.
"No... I don't want it... Mama and Papa don't allow me to those eat those overly sweetened street foods. I'll be dead if they found out I have a small cavity on my teeth."
- I replied rudely.
"Oh, I see... That's so sad."
- Sis Betty said in disappointment.
"If you badly want it, go and buy for yourself."
- I said as I crossed my arms at my chest.
"Neeeh... I don't want to buy those things if I don't have someone to share with. You see, it's better to eat food together with the person whom you'd like to eat together and share each other's feedback."
- Sis Betty said
"And besides, I always had eaten those cotton candies back when I was a child. Well, I'm so addicted eating to those things so that's why I have lots of tooth cavities forming in my teeth."
- Sis Betty embarrassedly confessed.
"Sir Alucard, have you taste those cotton candies before?"
- Sis Betty ask.
"Nope... Not in a million chance my mama would allow me that. And don't forget my papa."
- I said in a straightforward way.
"Woah! Is that so? Well, Sir Zemislav and Mistress Margarette were right."
- Sis Betty agrees.
"Frankly speaking, don't try to eat one. If ever you take a bite on those thingy, it's hard to stop."
- Sis Betty said in a spooky way.
"Don't be like me... Tooth cavity are the worst thing you could imagine! Promise, it's not something you can mess with."
- Sis Betty whispers.
. . .
*Betty stares at Alucard and cuddle him again*
*cuddling*
"Hey, stop it!"
- I said in an irritated way.
"Sir Alucard, you are not just a cute, Sapphire-like eyes baby I have known but also, the most obedient Kid I ever known! No wonder knights from the Order have acknowledge you! You are such an Obedient boy, you know that??"
- Sis Betty said as she still cuddling me.
*Alucard didn't respond to her compliments, really*
*Betty stop cuddling Alucard and she stand up*
"Alright, since you don't want to buy any of those things, let's go Sir Alucard! There are still lot of spaces to explore here before this day ends. Let's go!!!"
- Sis Betty said.
*Alucard holds Betty's hand and they start walking*
Sis Betty and I proceed on strolling.
- - - Meanwhile - - -
While wandering around the district.
*crowd noises*
I saw bunch of people, and that includes family.
*other parents who are enjoying spending their time with their children*
*some were enjoying eating the street foods*
*some families enjoyed watching the street performers, together with their children*
*Alucard enviously watched them*
They're all having fun.
Like doing happy moments with their family, and bunch of stuffs.
. . .
Among the crowds, there's something that interest me.
*Alucard looking on the family consist of one daughter, and her parents*
I saw a family where her papa lift her high, while her mama holding bunch of toys and stuffs.
*depressed*
To be honest, I'm so envious. Seeing other family with their mama, papa and their kids with them, make myself feel envious towards them.
*crowd buzzing*
. . . .
*Alucard keeps on gazing ahead*
I've been looking towards the family ahead and I didn't realized that I've been spacing out for so long.
*Betty watched Alucard sympathetically*
And I didn't realized that Sis Betty has been watching me, the same time as I watch the family over there.
*Betty slowly approached the spacing Alucard*
Sis Betty approached me and she opened her arms like, she wanted to give me a lift.
*Betty, opening up her arms and telling Alucard that she'll give her a lift*
*Alucard suddenly get emotional*
*saddened*
I... can't help myself to be emotional.
*faint sobbing*
If only there aren't any conditions, I really want to try it all out...
*Betty smiles gently towards the saddened Alucard*
But....
*saddened*
I can't...
*sobbing*
I can't sacrifice something which she had for my selfish, f*ck*ng desires.
*tears started to form on Alucard's eyes*
She worked hard to reach that dream, I don't want to destroy it... Really.
*sob*
I feel hopeless....
. . .
I... can't do...
*sniff*
Anything...
*sob*
I....
*Betty saw that Alucard's is crying*
*Betty started to comfort him*
. . .
"Hey? What's wrong Sir Alucard? Why are you crying?"
- Sis Betty worriedly ask.
*Alucard still crying*
"Oh no! Did I do something that may upset you? Hey? Please answer me."
- Sis Betty asked worriedly.
*Alucard look into Betty, which is now filled with concern*
