Chereads / Queen Of Mages / Chapter 4 - Elder Stan I

Chapter 4 - Elder Stan I

While Maya was sorting her memories and trying to adopt the current situation she heard footsteps coming in her direction. so she adjusted herself quickly without trying to show anything on her face. she looked in the direction she heard the footsteps and she saw a person who is somewhat similar to her master Ben. He was tall and sturdy with a noble touch and his eyes has the same brown texture as her master.

She realised she was gawking him up when she heard him saying her something, "You woke up I thought it will take sometime for you to wake up, after-all you were heavily injured and was poisoned" said the old man with a little smile on his face. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to stare at you like that, I was just surprised at how similar you look to my master" came her reply while she thought in her mind "it's better to adapt myself quickly that I have died and transmigrated to world full of mythical beings and I should keep this a secret from everyone."

She saw him looking at her with a kind smile with a touch of some sadness in it. When saw his smile she realised that it must have something to do with her master. And her guess came true when she heard what he said to her next. "I guess he didn't tell you about me but then again he didn't have that much time as well" he sighed after saying that and was silent for a while and continued to say "I'm brother of your master, while he had the idea of bringing you here to train for a while he was also planning to tell you about me as well, but before he could do that you both had an accident and your protection had become his first priority and he used his last strength to send you here.

He really think of you as his own child and you do look like someone we knew when my brother used to love her so much." he sighed again after saying this and stopped talking.

Maya was shocked from the news although, she knew from the memories they did have somewhat parental relationship as the original owner last her parents earlier. But that does not stop her from being shocked to know that he sacrificed his life to protect her. Without even realizing tears started to pour from her eyes and she thought about her own life as she was an orphan and how she longed to have her parents to love her when everyone had one, later she hoped she atleast have a parental figure or anyone who could be there for her when she needed it.

Even though the original owner had them she was forced to separate from them and they all died to protect her. While on one hand, she was envious she was also distressed for her as well cause having them and being separated from them is even more tortuous than not having them.
