Chapter 19 - Confession

P.O.V - ARTHUR

"I'd rather they all die than have you injured my lord" Beatrix says to me as she raises her head looking me dead in the eye.

Looking at her I could tell she was serious.

After I woke up I noticed I could tell when a person is lying.

I just look at them and when they speak I could tell wether they are telling the truth or not.

Just looking at her face was enough to know she was serious.

Ever since I turned eighteen Beatrix began acting strangely around me.

She started acting subservient towards me and quite protective sometimes.

I mean I'm not really all that bothered about the monster stuff since everything turned out ok.

Maybe this would be a good time to ask her about her strange behavior, maybe she has a crush on me?

"Thats cute and all but... What's with all the overflowing display of loyalty?"

"You've been acting strangely for a while now any reason for that?"

She remains silent for a while trying to avoid eye contact.

This makes it seem like my guess might be right.

She seemed too shy to speak.

"Don't you think it's time you came out with whatever it is you have to tell me?"

Of course I was expecting a kinda love confession but...

"Once you have turned eighteen you would have the full right of a king" Beatrix states.

I look blankly at her in confusion.

She waves her hands over her head and forms a sound proof barrier around us.

"You are not from this world Arthur. We, are not from this world."

I was a little disappointed that she was trying to bullshit me when I was expecting a confession but, she was telling the truth, I looked at her and she was, telling, the truth.

It doesn't make sense but I decided to listen to her.

She told me about this whole story of how we came from another world where a whole lot of other sentient species existed but dragons, elves, beast men and humans were the most superior.

How I am the rightful heir to the throne of the humans, the most superior beings in that land.

How the humans were only the strongest because my parents existed.

How my uncle joined forces with the other two races to bring down my parents all just to take away the throne.

How she was one of the most skilled cadets at just the age of seven and how she was tasked with protecting me.

How the humans in this world are weaklings compared to where we supposedly come from.

How my parents picked me up from the road.

And how she never had any parent here and all that was an act she had paid those two for so she could get a little into my life.

It was too much for me to process mostly because I could tell that there wasn't an ounce of lie in every single thing she had just told me.

I sit on my bed with my right hand in my hair trying to process what I had just heard.

"Wait does that have anything to do with that dream?" I say to myself.

Just then my mum comes in with my dad following from behind.

Even though Beatrix had put up a sound barrier, they heard everything.

Mum looks at Beatrix and Beatrix immediately gets up on guard.

"Relax love" mum says to Beatrix.

"You didn't really think we didn't really know about your connection to Arthur, did you?"

"I mean we didn't know it deep like everything you had just said, but we knew about you right from the start." Dad says.

"When we picked Arthur, we knew you were hiding up in the tree." Mum says as she moves towards Beatrix.

"We knew your whole made up family was your little plan to get into Arthur's life, but you seemed so innocent and you genuinely cared for Arthur."

"So we waited, waited till you were ready to come out". Mum says as she pats Beatrix on the head.

"Though we most certainly didn't expect you'd be from a totally different world." Dad states.

"I... I'm sorry" Beatrix says as she drops her arms with her head bowed down.

I sit there confused about everything I had just heard.

"So I was picked up from the road?"

"So you...you two aren't my parents?"

Oliver Walks towards me and places his hand on my shoulder.

"Oh c'mon son you..."

My voice deepens and with a low and cool voice I cut him off.

"Why the fuck didn't you tell me this earlier"

"Why the fuck did I have to hear it from her"

"Wow, I don't know what to say, I really don't"

I stand up and walk out as my mum, or rather

Aeriel calls out to me.

Arthur gets out of the house looking really displeased and leaps into the sky.

He lands in front of a dark blue (B-Rank- high) gate in the middle of fulham.

He begins to move towards the gate.

Some guards try to stop him but he knocks them aside and gets into the gate.

He begins to go on a massacre, killing monsters ruthlessly.

As he's fighting and killing he begins to have flashbacks from a first person perspective, him fighting some extremely strong beings, and this beings were the beings he saw the shooting star from his dream, Lucifer, kill.

He moves into the boss room and is met by a two headed cyclops.

He fights it as he keeps having his flash backs.

He cuts off it's right limbs, stabs four iron bars into the rights side of his body and slits it from between the two heads down, into two equal halves with his hand.

Just before it collapse, he slices the right side of its body into two at the waist with his right hand.

The scene was a replica of how Lucifer had killed those two beings.

He killed it almost exactly the same way.

He stands there between the two halves drenched in blood.

His beautiful golden hair was completely soaked with blood, it was dripping.

He looks up staring blankly at nothing.

"I... remember..."
