Chapter 9
Losing
Thinking about this, Kellen's memories floated to his teacher, Aaegon, and his first wife, Anyeelie. This makes Kellen's mood worse more. Until now, Kellen's heart still hurts every time he remember Anyeelie.
Kellen could not resist the sadness that came flooded his mind because he lost his first wife. Kellen soul is like to die and make him stay alive only because of the obligation. Anyeelie, the only woman she loves.
Kellen still remembers clearly, a year after being picked up by his father's messenger, he came back to the Red Land to pick up Anyeelie. With the blessing of Margareth, his second wife, who realized that Margareth was unable to have Kellen's heart because the man had given his entire love for Anyeelie.
However, how surprised Kellen, when he arrived at the Red Land, he met a bitter reality that Anyeelie had died. At that time, Kellen was completely destroyed. He felt very guilty of the death of Anyeelie. Kellen loses direction and does not care anymore in the surrounding situation, including the obligation and family.
At that time, sorrow and deep regret surrounded Kellen's Days. He regretted leaving Anyeelie, when he was taken forcefully by his father's envoy. Kellen hopes that at that time he should have died.
Knowing Anyeelie had died, making Kellen's soul was destroyed. Luckily, Margareth who loved Kellen very much could understand the situation. Patiently, the woman still accompanied and took care of Kellen with love.
At the same moment, Margaret gave birth to Keannan, their son. Finally, the presence of Keannan slowly began to revive Kellen's life spirit. Since then, Kellen lives only for Keannan and its obligations to the clan.
Now, Kellen feels behind Agnes's words there is another intention to be conveyed by the man to Mrs. Militsa. Kellen did not know what to do it, it's just that there was an uncomfortable feeling that sneaked in his heart when he heard it. He felt Agnes was targeting Keannan secretly.
Suddenly, Kellen worried about Keannan's fate. He did not care if Keannan did not want to continue leadership like him before. That Kellen worried about the only safety of the sons because for some people, sometimes the position could make evil eyes and justify any means.
Immediately, after hearing Agnes's words, Kellen asked one of his beliefs to find out the rumors that were scattered at the time. Kellen did not want to be waited without he could help Keannan.
Just, Kellen never expected why the memories of Anyeelie came at a time like this. Opening the door that he had to keep tightly, closed. He knew, his heart was still unable to resist the sadness of every time remembering Anyeelie.
Knockknockknock!
"Dad! This is I am, let me in, please, Dad!" Keannan' sounds slowly penetrated Kellen's ear.
"Came in!"
A moment later, a young man whose face was a young version of Kellen, entered the library room carrying a ham-contained tray that still puffed smoke, bacon, fruit, and also a glass of milk.
"Dad, please eat, from earlier you had not eaten anything."
Kellen looked at a teenager who was soon to grow up with affection. Keannan is a gift for him. He was very lucky to have children like Keannan. Since he was a child, his son's kindness was seen. He is warm and friendly to anyone. Keannan never took advantage of his position as the only son of the Chairperson of the Alliance. When get permitted to following Kellen, Keannan always listened to the problems of all members of alliance. Then, he will help find a solution as well.
In addition the absence of ancient power the sun clan in Keannan, he is an ideal figure to become a candidate for a leader. Kellen looked at the young man with a slim high body that had a golden eye as warm as the sun at the morning. Keannan's hair is also blonde colored, Keannan really looks like him.
Kellen knows, for martial arts and weapons skills, Keannan's ability does not need to be doubted. The young man includes fighters select matching. Thinking of that, Kellen became a little relieved, whatever would happen, his son was not a weak young man.
Slowly Kellen sighed. However, he also realized, what Agnes said was true. Kellen himself has not seen the sign of the power of the Sun clan emerge from his son.
"Come here." Kellen waved towards Keannan.
"Okay, but say now, what makes my dad moody?" Asked Keannan after putting a tray before his father.
With curiosity, Keannan looked at the man he was very respectful. Throughout his memory, since childhood until now, this is the first time he saw his father looks so sad.
Usually, whatever problems being faced by the clan, his father always looks calm and not affected. In their family, he never even saw a fight between his father and mother.
Now, his father's birthday party just ended. But, instead of being happy, Kellen actually looked so sad. If it was able, whatever Keannan did to erase the sadness of his father's face.
"Keannan, sit down and accompany me here. I think, it's time to come, i wants you to go study outside the fort. Back home when you feel ready." Kellen patted the empty seat next to him. He turned and looked at his son's face carefully.
Kellen was satisfied with what he saw. His son grew well. He was sure, Keannan could survive well outside the fort. He can definitely be back and become more resilient.
"Of course. Anything that according to Dad is good, it must be the best. I will not embarrass you, Dad. I will carry out my duty, so don't worry anymore." Keannan smiled broadly towards Kellen. There no slightest feeling of worrying on the young man's face.
Secretly, Keannan grimaced in his heart. A little bit he began to be able to guess what the source of his father's anxiety. At the Academy, he has often been a satire from his friends because as a descendant of the only protective clan, he does not have the ancient power of the Sun Clan. but, he never cared about their words.
Actually, Keannan was surprised, why the sun clan strength still didn't appear in him. But, because his father had never questioned this and as long as it did not disturb Kellen, then he also did not need to worry.
Now, seeing his father feel sad, making Keannan determined to remove anxiety in his father's heart. If his departure was able to reduce the anxiety he saw in Kellen's eyes, Keannan had to leave the gate immediately.
