That day was very memorable for everyone.
Smiles painted everybody's face. Laughter became the music of the country. Poor or rich celebrated the day with a joyous meal together giving as much as they have. It was the start of peace and prosperity for their country.
No more wars.
Even Aster was very happy to celebrate the day with his family. He even went straight to his family to celebrate the day. It was festive that no one denied.
Or so they thought.
Because now, Aster remembered how distant Mersh felt that day.
He still could not think of the reason why she betrayed him. But one thing is for sure, he will do anything in his power to save his family, his loyal servants, his people. He won't let them be taken over by the Crazy Tyrant Zenith.
Zenith was labeled as such because he was crazy for blood. The peace that they had finally attained would be for naught if Zenith became the strongest person alive. His blood lust won't stop in their country, he will invade other countries and slaughter his way until he dies. That's the kind of person he is.
He will prevent the bloodbath that will take place in one month's time.
And to ensure that there will be no more senseless sacrifice… he needed to observe Mersh closely.
But first, before anything else, he needed to send his family safely away from the capital. It's the only way he knows that will make him win over the upcoming battle.
Once Zenith got hold of his family, even if he was successful in stopping Mersh, then he would still lose. He will give up his own life for his family.
It's foolish knowing Zenith would eventually kill his family once he is dead.
'It's no use thinking about something that's not there yet. What I need to do is prevent this from happening.'
"Aster?"
Aster froze as a familiar sweet and caring voice broke his train of thoughts.
He could not forget this female voice. Hearing her, he was left with confusion once more.
How can this sweet Mersh be the same emotionless person who killed him?
