I wished day and night to find my mother
Then one day Achanda came to talk to me I was in the library reading astronomy book
"Are you okay?" He asked
"Yeah, I am ok." I said
He sat down next to me and said
"Well, when you feel comfortable talking to me, I am here to listen," he smiled
Then I nodded
"What do you want to talk about?" I asked
"You know that one noble that loves to buy from us swords?" He asked
"Well, of course I do, He especially likes buying swords from here." I said
"That is right! He sent me a letter, and he wants you to go to his mansion to make him swords personally and be one of his guards!" he said
" why would he want a guard, and he can just buy stuff from us from this village?" I asked
"I don't honestly know!" He said
"Well, you can leave everything to me, sir. I am a capable man to stay in this village and make swords and save this village from the beasts you can go instead of me." I said passionately
"No young man, I don't think I can go instead of you, he especially asked for you and this is your chance to get back to your home and claim the throne don't you want that? "He said
"I...I do." I said
"WELL, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? "He asked
"You are right!" I said, and then I laughed
The thing is that nobles loved buying our swords
And I never learned why I mean he is a noble Why not get it from a big market in a known village from a big swordsmith? I had a lot of questions
The next day came, and I was ready to depart from the village I lived in for two years to another city facing the ocean
Achanda gave me a beautiful suit that was made for me and told me that the noble man sent me a carriage because the port was really far away
And then added, " Take care of yourself, and don't forget me and visit here in your brakes, ok? Fare well, my friend."
I answered with " Don't worry old man, I will."
I waved goodbye and rode the carriage
But then I stopped the carriage and hugged Achanda tightly and thanked him for all he did for me
Achanda looked really sad and said " you don't need to thank me I am a bad man and I don't deserve a thank you but you know I grew attached to you even so..."
"What do you mean?" I asked
"When the time comes you will know" He said
"you might despise me but know I will be there when it is hard for you! Please send me letters every now and then" He said
" I don't know what you did but it can't be that bad right? Anyways I am leaving" I said
I said goodbye and then rode the carriage and apologized to the coachman
Unfortunately the noble is called Salvino and his title of nobility is Duke and his family works under the royal family I am kind of scared he might try to kill me to help the royal family but...what if he uses me for revenge?
For the past year Salvino helped us with money by buying us swords and gave extra money for it too so he might be a good man and he probably thinks I am dead because I disappeared 2 years ago nearly everyone thinks I am dead plus I do sincerely think high of him, so I might as well serve him and give him my life I don't mind
Later, I arrived and stepped foot in the well-known beautiful city of Hali
"I don't know why they named it Hali when it is clearly not facing the sea..." I mumbled
An old man then answered "The legends say it once in a thousand years this city was facing the sea at first because there was another city that made a sea between them but it sunk underwater, so now It is facing a whole ocean and that is why they think our country has this weird geographical appearance "
"Oh, that is some amazing knowledge, sir! Thank you for telling me all about this information " I said
The old man then said, "oh what a polite young man you are !" Then he added "You must be a foreigner visiting Hali"
"Oh, why would you say that, sir?" I asked
"You look very different from people in this country, and you look very familiar, "he said
"Oh no, I am from this country but not from this city it is my second time visiting here, actually." I said
But the problem is I can't remember a lot from my past
"Oh well, you are one handsome man. "he said
"Wow, thank you, sir," I said
Getting compliments from old people is very wholesome.
There was a man with a carriage waiting for me and asked me, "Are you sir Calix?"
I said "yes I am Calix."
Wait, how did he know my name?
"A question if I may ask?" I asked
"Sure, sir! "He said
"How did sir Salvino know my name I never told him my name?" I asked
He was silent for a few minutes
"Why not ask him yourself?" He asked
"Yeah...." I said with doubt
I am pretty sure he knows who I am and I feel like I am going to go there just to die
I sat in the carriage, and I left to go to Salvinos mansion
Salvino looked like he was waiting outside of the mansion for someone
And then he spotted me and looked so surprised and smiled at me
I got off the carriage, and he ran to me and said
"Oh my, it is you. Thankfully, you are well!"
"What do you mean, sir?" I asked
I was genuinely confused. I mean, what is he saying . He speaks like he knows me?
"Oh yeah, you probably don't remember. I am the one who treated your wounds and gave you a shelter in that village, I thought you would run away, though, but it looks like you didn't! "He said
"Oh sir, it was you? Thank you very much!" I said
" I am happy you are a live! But my question, why were you that injured hmmm?" He asked
Is he trying to annoy me he probably knows why I was this injured he is the Kings loyal dog right?
"Can I trust you?" I asked
"...of course yo.."
Before he could continue, I ran
The guards were ready to chase me off, but when I looked behind, I found him raising his hands to stop the guards from chasing me, and he wasn't moving. He glared at me
My heart jumped from the glare be he wasn't moving so I sighed with relief and ran, and ran, but while running, I pumped into someone
"HEY CANT YOU WATCH YOUR SURROUNDINGS...." I said angrily
When I looked up it was him!
"Oh, you can't run away, prince! Even if you were in another country or even in the under world I will find you" He said with a big creepy smile
