Because had no other choice, finally, my brother, he was forced to accept the dagger.
However, Ash's parents have allowed him to have this dagger.
Therefore, it would not be good for him to reject their gifts.
In the end, the gift they give is something that matters.
As long as he had this dagger, he believed his life would be much safer.
No matter what, the outside world is very dangerous.
Of course, lives will always be at stake.
Luckily, my brother, he has some good friends.
Otherwise, he didn't know what weapon he should carry.
Without realizing it, my brother, he suddenly felt someone pulling his clothes.
Finally, his gaze, it began to focus on a girl.
That girl, she was none other than Alicia.
"Brother Athen, we also want to give you something."
"Oh?" for some reason, my brother's gaze, it suddenly turned sparkling.
Right now, before him, he saw a picture.
This picture, could be said to be about him and also those closest to him.
"Isn't this... Amazing, how detailed the picture you painted is." my brothet praised, unable to contain his admiration.
Since a long time ago, he had recognized the greatness of this girl.
Every time she goes out, she always paints what she wants.
Because of this, she became very famous in this village.
"Actually, this was Eris' idea. We made it together." Alicia answered, not forgetting to tell him whose idea this was.
Maybe it's true, she has nothing to give.
But that doesn't mean she doesn't have an idea, which could change everything.
Just look, my brother's expression, it immediately turned very bright.
With this, he believes he will always be able to remember the faces of his family.
Also, the people closest to him.
"Thank you! This is something I wanted, thank you both." truly, in his entire life, this was the single best gift.
In fact, what my brother was afraid of was not leaving his family behind, but his memories.
He was afraid, afraid that one day he would forget their faces.
If that happened, he didn't know what he would do.
In the end, my brother, he inevitably had to leave this place.
After he read the contents of the book, he knew one thing.
That, he couldn't continue to be in this place.
Otherwise, there will be many people targeting his life.
Of course, the lives of his family will be at stake.
...
"Hah, ha..." finally, after a long time.
I, can rest myself.
Before I started practicing, I had prepared all this.
"Gulp-" after drinking the water near the well, I decided to stretch my body.
This was done so that I wouldn't get hurt, I was afraid something would happen.
For a moment, my gaze, it was slightly directed behind me.
Don't know why, I just felt something was there.
'Eh? The sound of horse steps?' I thought quietly, hearing the sound of footsteps.
The sound of these steps, felt like the sound of a horse's footsteps.
'Could it be... they've arrived?' Indeed, what I feared really happened.
Just look, a moment after I averted my gaze.
A scream was heard, the sound, it felt quite familiar.
For some reason, this reminds me of our first meeting with the messenger.
Even so, I still tried to act calm.
Besides, I knew there was nothing I could do.
That messenger, he is very strong.
If he wanted, he could have destroyed this village.
Luckily, he had no intention of doing that.
"We, the holy church, have come to take Evan Asford's son, bring him to us!!!"
Inside my family's house, the entire room, it became silent again.
Even so, my brother, he has prepared his things.
