They called this mystical world the land of Zephyrine.
Zephyrine is a mythical land ruled by the kingdom of Nephyr. Almost all societies in the land of Zephyrine have unique and diverse mana powers.
Nephyr is an advanced kingdom that has magical gemstones. Nephyr also has natural beauty that never disappears.
Such as, mountains that look sturdy and green, air that always feels fresh and rivers that twinkle beautifully every night, and forests that are still very well preserved.
But unfortunately, the beautiful country had to submit under the power of a tyrannical king.
"They are not rebels! Trust me! They have nothing to do with the coup plot!" The child's shout was loud. But none of the people there took it seriously.
How many times, the child whose hands were firmly tied shouted in anger at the people who whispered and stared contemptuously at the bodies of his parents.
He is Aaron Blend, the ten-year-old child must experience the legal injustice of the emperor Zephyr.
It feels like a waste. Although he had repeatedly shouted to tell the truth. They still think that their family is guilty.
The crying blue eyes flashed sharply. Staring hatefully at everyone standing there. Dad shouldn't have to be kind to his neighbors!
"Why would the king give an order like this without listening to their defense?"
Buk!
Aaron felt a loud lash in his back. An imperial soldier angrily shouted, "How dare a rebellious son like you doubt the king's decision!"
Aaron was scared. But he still has to be brave, he doesn't want to show his fear. The soldier cried out again, "Stand you! Death is waiting for you!"
Death? Aaron learns that his family and he have been indicted on charges of rebellion. However, he still wants to prove his and his parents' innocence.
Aaron who was curled up on the ground was forced to stand. The thin child grimaced while dragging his trembling legs.
Trembling not because of fear of death, but a heart that hated himself very much, because until the end, he remained a useless child for both parents.
"I curse you king of the rulers of Zephyr! When I die, I will force the gods to bring down the kingdom with the king and the people of this land!" cursed Aaron silently. He bit his dry lips until he was injured.
"Hurry up!" Back the soldier shouted while pushing roughly the little boy's body.
"It seems that the family is cursed." Aaron immediately glanced sharply when he heard the baseless accusations over there.
"They had a disabled child who couldn't even awaken the power and now, they have to die of their own making."
The hands tied behind the back were even more clenched. His feet began to climb the wooden stairs there.
That's right. He is simply a useless child! Let alone save the old man who is already a corpse there. He could not do defending or clearing his parents' names.
"I deserve to die. I'm the one who should die, not them!" annoyed Aaron cursing himself in the heart.
Duk!
The violent kick made Aaron fall on his face. His chin was torn even more by the rough stage wood. The fishy smell of the blood of both parents wafted more and more by him.
"Wake up! How dare a despicable human like you delay your death time!"
"Pfft!"
The slumped body immediately raised its head. Aaron smiled trivially at the gallant soldier standing arrogantly beside him.
"You, laughing at me?" said the soldier. His brow pursed in surprise with eyes that clearly revealed his anger.
"Master. Weren't you the one who made me fall? Then, why did you accuse me of stalling my death?" said Aaron in a tone of voice that sounded defiant. "Did you do that to look great?" he continued.
As his parents taught. If you don't have the strength, at least there is a mouth that can be used to play with the enemy's feelings.
Hearing a sarcastic sentence from a child, made the soldier's face bright red. The man quickly pulled Aaron to his feet, then dragged and pushed him. Aaron's head was already in the grasp of the decapitation device.
"Is this over?"
"Not yet. There are still two more families to be executed here."
Again, the chatter of the people over there sounded. Aaron felt sad for those who spoke like that.
Is seeing the lifeless body so interesting? Aaron really doesn't understand the way adults think. They just huddled around without wanting to help. Watched eagerly as his house was burned to the ground and his parents murdered.
"It would be interesting if the disabled child could awaken his strength now, wouldn't it?"
"Strength! Strength! What's in their brains is just about strength? Even their lives are no better than my parents!" Aaron grumbled irritably inwardly. He was really sick of hearing the insults.
The announcement of Aaron's death was shouted loudly. Aaron's two eyes were tied with a black cloth.
"Aaron from the Blend family! Today was found guilty of having been part of an uprising plotting an imperial coup!"
The boy exhaled resignedly. Crying with a heart full of disappointment and resentment.
Apart from crying, he couldn't do anything else. Later after successfully following the death of both parents. He will apologize thousands of times for being a useless child.
"To pay for an unforgivable sin. Emperor Agler, the king of Zephyr, granted the pardon of the beheading law to be granted, now!"
Brak!
Aaron straightened his neck quickly. His heart was pounding quickly at the loud noise and impact that shook the wooden stage there.
He focused on feeling the pulse in the body and the heartbeat that still felt real. Aaron asked puzzled to himself. "My head is still fused with the body, right?"
"Akh!"
The cries of pain from different voices continued to be heard alternately.
"What's going on?" said Aaron. His head turned right and left following the sounds of moaning pain that inexplicably made his heart feel satisfied.
"Hey."
A woman's firm voice sounded clearly. "Who?" said Aaron haltingly.
"Boy, don't move too much."
With ease, the woman wearing a long black robe and partially covered face lifted Aaron's thin body like lifting a sack of wheat.
"Huh? W-what are you doing?" Aaron felt a little scared because his body no longer touched the stage floor.
Didn't get an answer. Aaron shouted again. "Put me down!"
"If you still want to live. You'd better shut up, brat!"
In that confusing situation, Aaron had little choice but to close his lips and surrender, feeling the swift and violent movement that bobbed his body.
This feels scary, but he still tries to stay calm and focus on the current situation.
Ukh! Aaron started to feel sick!
Who would have thought? Now the execution stage was already crowded with unexpected fierce battles.
Deftly, the woman who only showed silver eyes avoided the blade and mana rush from various directions.
Lowered her head and jumped gracefully. The woman seemed to be dancing a sword dance that every second managed to take the enemy's life.
The piercing gaze of her silver eyes lit up even more. The faster the roar of his breathing sounded, the more the thin lips behind the black cloth curled up in satisfaction.
That woman really enjoyed the fight! So much enjoyed that he forgot the thin body he carried on his left shoulder.
"Has the tyrant king become stupid? Sending lowly palace warriors to carry out executions in the open like this? Is he already comfortable with his life?"
Aaron, who heard the woman's grumbling, frowned even more. "Miss, can you speed up all this? I really want to--blurrb!"
Vomit. The little boy vomited on the back of the person who had saved him.
"Haish! You are destined to die today!"
