Chereads / Inakno! / Chapter 16 - Responsibility and Revenge

Chapter 16 - Responsibility and Revenge

Back in my world, I am a spoiled child. Taken care by both of my loving parents who work hard just to give what's best for me.

They made me feel the love I need amidst the cruelty of the world. Even though I am a guy who was spoiled, I know my limits. I can feel the feelings of my fellow people and I can sympathize them when they feel something they shouldn't feel.

Something that they shouldn't feel.

I was taught to become who ever I want by my father, and my mother taught me to become a man worthy of what my father wants.

They are complicated but I know why they came to meet each other.

...

I awaken from my dream when the sunlight struck my face through the window. I seem to have slept beside the girls while sitting.

I look around and see the Yrea's still asleep but the girls are nowhere to be found. I didn't worry that much since I can trust the maids for taking care of them.

I stretch a few of my limbs, stand up and head downstairs. There, I saw the maids busy preparing for our breakfast while the two eat their share.

As soon as I descent from the stair, their eyes drawn to me. I can notice that they had become better than last time. I feel glad.

"You two okay?"

"Yes! Just hungry, though."

The one who answer me is Elysia, whom I remember that still have the same personality.

"Just eat, eat and rest. You don't have to worry about anything."

I smile, to see them safely eating is enough to make my worries fade.

"What do you mean by that?"

This time, it was the other princess who spoke. Her name is Elsa, 1st princess of the Brestia Empire and older sister of Elysia.

"Hm? What are you talking about?"

"What you said."

"You don't need to worry, just rest."

"You don't plan to return?"

"Not yet, I have not prepared myself-"

"You coward."

"What?"

I look surprise by the sudden insult.

"I said you're a coward!

You dare to hide here after causing ruckus to my country, not only did you gave those rebels the power you possess you even decided to hide here?! You're a hero and yet here you are?! Do you even know what's happening in my country right now?

My entire family has been killed, Elysia here almost died. The country is in lockdown after millions of lives either died or left the country. All of it because you just gave them that damn power of yours!"

I see. So that's what she's holding back. Now that she found someone she can rant on, she can now let out something that's she meaning to release.

"I know. I know that already. I have already blamed myself when I gave them that power and kill those innocents, and now I'm taking responsibility for my own foolish action.

I have involved everyone not meant to be involved, I made them leave their homes and some I have to kill because I gave the fools the power that can change this world.

It was all of my fault so, but I can't actually punish myself. Instead, I am here to enact my revenge. Because of their actions, it triggers my principles.

It drove me to edges to the point I almost died.

Don't worry, princess. I will give them hell as soon as I made my preparations. You don't need to worry since I will try my best to return those whom I made suffer and leave their homes.

Until then, I want you to rest and give your best to cooperate with me. I know your disappointment is immeasurable but try your best to work with them, in that way, we can be together and kill those fools."

Those who suffer are the innocents, and those that suffered must've felt great anger within their hearts. Those who lost someone like Elsa and Elysia, those who lost even their lives.

I barely slept last night, and now I will probably have nightmares.

She didn't speak anymore and turn her attention to her younger sister. But still I have to reassure her.

"After that, I will create a better world befitting of Elysia. I hope you can help me too."

Her expression improve, and I can certainly say I satisfy her worries. Elysia on the other hand is pouting while taking the broccoli within her mouth.

She's sulking.

"I'll be leaving for a bit and see what our workers are doing, if they need anything, give them or tell me."

I left the warehouse and head at the back of it. I saw the five workers I asked to build a pathway from here to the spring that can be used as a bath.

When I saw them, I found someone unfamiliar. They were talking to my workers and those suspicious looking faces are having a hard time conversing with them.

"What seems to be the problem here?"

And that's when I ask them where they held a rifle from their back. But of course, a pistol is much easier to hold since, not only is it small, but also lighter than their old guns.

I shot them with a loud bang, their shots are not something that can be considered as mortal wound but if they were left, they will surely die.

"P-Please... W-we don't mean to!"

"H-Help us!! Don't shoot! F-forgive us!"

I can only hear words that a person near death cries. It was an irritating words I can't help but want to stop.

I aimed at their heads but the cry only gets louder. I want to kill them, but before I could, Elsa suddenly came running. She seem to have notice the ruckus and immediately head towards here without Minding her light dress that is a bit transparent. She's wearing an undergarment though.

"W-Wait, hero! Don't kill them!"

I almost triggered the gun, if not for her, they would've died seconds ago.

"Why?"

"T-They have information!"

She sound suspicious, but if it's information then it's probably okay. Still, they should guarded.

"One of the worker, come here. From here and forth, your name is Jamaica. I want you to guard them for me. If you think you can't handle it then come here running.

Here is a weapon I will soon introduce to you, it's quite early for it to appear but since the event let it happen, I might as well teach you how it's use.

This here is a trigger, hold it, aim it, and fire. If you think you don't have enough ammo, reload.

To reload, put some of these bullets, stock it inside and pull this cocking piece. Clean the tube and there.

Aim precisely as if your entire lives depend on it. Got it?"

"Y-Yes!!!"

"Right now you're not a slave but a soldier, do as I told you if you want to live. It's something like a slave but much more strict, got it!"

"Y-Yes!!"

"Good. Now, Elsa go talk to them"
