["Did I say something wrong?"]
When Gilbert heard that, his eyed wide open and his expression changed to a serious one. When I saw the sudden change of expression, I Got scared and thinking that I say something wrong. On the other hand, Lara Was smiling and looking at us joyfully.
("It is too confusing for me what are they like that")
It was too hard to explain but the vibe they are giving it's too uneasy for me. at that moment, Lara broke the silence with a laugh.
["Puff, That expression on your face, It's priceless."]
I am dumbfounded after hearing that.
["Gilbert, You can stop that you are scaring him"]
when I looked at Gilbert his face he is trying hard to make his face serious while hiding smile. Then I found out that they are teasing me. My mind calm down after realizing this and I let out a sigh.
-SIGH
["OK now Joke's apart, let's eat"]
Lara said with a smile on her face.
When I calm my self I sat on a chair what is placed beside the table. Lara waved her hand to signal her helper to bring us food. when i finished eating, we still have almost a hour left until we leave this place. Gilbert said we are going to his home, but when i asked him where we are going, he ignored me and said it's a secret. i am quite frustrated, but i stop thinking about this thing's.
Gilbert left the inn to go to the market, and me and Lara are left alone. Despite being stranger's she treats me like her own child. she has a warmth's motherly vibe in her. and currently she and me are sitting in the lobby area where we eat earlier.
["So Arce are you OK now?"]
Lara asked me with a smile in her face. It is obvious that she is worried about me
["Yes, i think so"]
["Hmm… Ms La…"]
A hand come from in front of me before i tried to finish my sentence.
["Shh…!, Not Ms, you can call me Lara"]
["Ok, Lara, i am wondering what will happen to the camp?"]
when i finished my sentence, she lower her head facing the table with her hand's on the table and then looked at me with a serious look.
["That camp probably got raided"]
When i heard that, i am dumbfounded and confused.
["Raided?"]
["Yes probably"]
["But why?"]
["Cos we found you, Gilbert might look like that, but if he envies anyone in this world, that would be Your father. and when he leaves you to me and left i saw his face he was quite furious"]
After hearing that, my whole body is in a shock and my mind started to get heavy. I don't know what happened, but my eye's are started flooding and tear's started to fell from my eyes.my whole body started to shake.
When Lara saw me like that, she instantly garbed me and hug me. it was quite unexpected but she is like a mother who is comforting her child.
["Don't worry it's OK, it's Ok"]
She started to patting my head while keep hugging me. I started crying while leaning in her embrace.
after a good crying my mind finally calm down i looked at Lara who is hugging me and looking at me with a smile on her face. It was quite embracing, so tried to let go from her.
While waiting for Gilbert i had a question, I looked at Lara with a curious look.
["Are my dad and Gilbert powerful?"]
Lara smiled when she heard my question.
["Yes they are powerful and specially your dad he was a hero who has fought against demon's for the sake of our continent"]
'Hmm…!' It was quite unexpected for Arce he knew that Gilbert and his dad has some status in society but he never expected that his father was a hero.
Lara noticed Arce's reaction and his surprise look. She gave a smile At Arce and again said something that blow Arce's mind.
["Oh and Gilbert might be a cheerful person but he was a hero himself, He, Your father and their other 3 party member's are usually Hunt together"]
This is too much information for me to handle, To think they are all at a party and now people's are called them hero's.
["Your father was a very powerful person until he got that injury..."]
("Hmm… Injury?") Arce never heard of anything about this.
["What injury?, I never heard about anything about this"]
["It happened before you are born, At that time he was fighting in a war with demon's and unexpectedly a demon rank demon appeared and destroyed his inner part of his belly, At that time saintess of the country was too busy with solder's injury and his treatment got delayed when this happened you are in your mother's womb, but he managed to survive, but his body can't Handel any force or you can say if he used his power's he would have died, his whole core got destroyed in that war"]
The curious look in Arce's face despaired and a sorrow full look appeared. He knew what Lara said is fully true and it's not like he wasn't able to use his power, His body was on verge of death he was surviving for us and i still drought him for not being a good father.
Tear's roll down from his eyes and cheeks, but this time he only has a dark look. After hearing this much, his mind got harden somehow.
["So what about those other 3 ?"]
["Ah..."]
["Arce Let's go, our ride has come"]
Lara was about to tell Arce but got interrupted by Gilbert who just go back after some shopping and prepared a ride for them.
["OK Arce it's time and You will know when you got there"]
Lara was going to tell him about other people's but she decided to let Arce find out about it himself
I looked at Gilbert and saw he is standing in front of the main door of the inn gate with a big bag. Arce prepared his belongings yesterday for leaving early and he just had to go and get them.
Arce got upstairs and got inside his room and picked up a bag with some change of cloth's that Gilbert buy them for him and got downstairs. When he got down he saw Gilbert and Lara are talking about something but he can't hear them. When he got close Gilbert saw him coming and gave a smile and following him Lara also gave a smile.
["Let's go, we will be late"]
I simply nodded. Gilbert got outside and I followed after him. Lara is also coming to see us leave. when we got out of the inn and walk down the squire and walked down the road where i came from yesterday.
When we reached the town's Entrance, i saw a wagon was standing there and a man was standing beside him.
Gilbert reached that man and started talking, Lara was walking just behind me.
["Ok, Arce hopped on"]
I simply climb on the wagon from the back, Lara who was standing at beside the back wagon. When she saw i was looking at her, she just simply smiled.
["Ok Arce is a good boy OK"]
She said, and pat my head. I, I am sitting near the back side of the wagon, She can easily reach my head.
["When we will meet again, I hope to see a young Karl"]
I am quite flattered and embarrass after hearing that.
["OK Arce let's go"]
That voice was Gilbert's and he is ready now, he sat on the wagon sit and said his goodbye to Lara.
Lara Also Wave her hand and said goodbye to us.
Gilbert winged the wagon's wisp which was connected to 2 horse's and the wagon started to move. It is quite a long journey, Gilbert said we will be reaching our destination in almost evening and he said if i need to get some sleep i can sleep in the wagon. But it's not like i am sleepy and i prefer to stay awake, It's not like it is every day i got outside.
While travelling we crossed a forest like area and only a single road is present which is covered bye a dense forest. then a river which has a big plane all the side surrounding it. In noon, we eat the same food that I eat yesterday when I arrived in town, Lara packed us food for our journey. After eating, we again continue our journey. After crossing through a forest, we finally reached a open place.
When we enter the open place i saw a big plan's and in the horizon i can see a city with some hilly terrain's.
["Finally we reached our destination"]
Gilbert said while looking at me with a smile.
A small smile can be seen forming in my face. i am quite happy, but i am too afraid to let my emotion's out at the same time.
["Finally My Misery End's Hare"]
