Chereads / I Became The Evil War Hero / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Henry Wolfe

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Henry Wolfe

It has been a few days since my training began, and I must say...

IT HAS BEEN AWFUL!!

I didn't realise how difficult, training from Edward, can be!!

I make one mistake, he make me run a lap of the training ground. Every time I ask for a break, he makes me run a lap of the training ground.

AND THAT'S NOT ALL!

He grades me everyday, and if I don't get a good score, he makes me run 5 laps!!

It is not like the training ground is small either...it is MASSIVE!! Who in their right mind makes a 5-year-old run laps of such a big ground!!

I haven't got an opportunity to talk to him because I am COMPLETELY exhausted after the training everyday, so I am going to have to create an opportunity sooner or later.

"Uhm, Hi..." 

Who was that?! I know I am not hearing things.

I look around and find a young boy with silver hair looking at me from behind a pillar. A boy....with silver hair like mine, only with a little more of a bluish hue....could it be....

HENRY!!

I have just realised, this is the first time I have seen Henry in person because he had never visited me in all the years I have been in this world.

"Uhh..Hey.."

"You might not know me, but I am your older brother....by three years, haha.." he laughed nervously. So he must be 8 years old right now. 

This kid had huge potential to be a great warrior, but his disease gave him a big disadvantage. If I am able to get him on my side...I can get him to become my protector! Then I wouldn't have to worry about getting killed by Hayden if I ever do get on his bad side!

"Uhh...do you feel uncomfortable in my presence? If you want I can just leave. I know how much people hate being around me.."

Oh no, I spent too much time thinking...I he might misunderstand..

"No brother, I don't want you to go. Please stay here. It is my first time seeing you so I was just a little surprised."

"Oh, no worries...Uhh...would you like to play with me for a bit?"

"Sure, and then we can go out to the garden to see mother and drink tea!" I have to create a bond with him..

"I don't think that is a good idea, going to mother.."

"But, why? We are both her sons. She would love it if we both go to her together!"

"Uhh...okay, I suppose we could...."

"Okay! Let's go!"

We decided to go visit mother first. He seemed to hesitate going to see her, I need to find out why. Maybe, I will be able to find a way to grow closer to him.

"Mother! We are here!" I call out to her, who is standing in the rose garden.

"Mother! Mother! Look who I brought with me!" I look back to show Henry, but, he wasn't there.

"Who are you looking at Felix?" asked my father, who was coming towards us.

"Uhh...it's just that...give me just one second."

I ruun back to where I was coming here with Henry and I find him hiding behind a rose bush, crying.

"Henry! What are you doing here? We said that we will be going to see mother. Even father has come, we can go play with both of them."

"I can't do it Felix. They hate me, and I can't bare to look at them looking at me with hatred. I just can't."

"Why will they hate you Henry? We are their sons, and they love us. There is no way they will hate any of us."

"Of course they don't hate you, You are completely fine. It is me whom they hate. Their poor sickly child who cannot even be swordsman because he is too weak. Everyday, I hear the servants saying how I am lucky that my parents didn't kick me out even though I am a defect."

Henry Wolfe didn't have a good childhood. He was continuously bullied by servants and Felix, and Felix always tried to kill him by sending assassins but they always failed because Henry trained in secret, to protect himself. When he died, Victor and Celeste Wolfe got so depressed that they left their territory unprotected, which led to Richard getting the upper hand and led to their downfall.

Poor Henry, it is so sad that this kid, who isn't even a teen yet, has to suffer so much. I am literally crying ant this point.

"Come on, Henry. Let me show you that you are wrong." 

I drag him back to mom and dad, and call out to them.

"Mom! Dad! Look!"

They slowly look back, and when they see Henry, they begin shedding tears and run to him.

"Oh, Henry. You finally came out to see us. Why did you lock yourself up?" said my my mother while hugging Henry.

"Why son? Why did you lock yourself up? I was so worried when you stopped coming to visit us and denied to let us in." said my father, running to them and hugging them.

"I thought that you didn't want me because I was so sickly and couldn't bring honour to my family." Henry said, crying.

"Of course not, why would you think such a thing? You are our son why wouldn't we want you? Did someone say something to you?" asked my father worriedly.

"Three years ago, when a strange uncle came to visit us, he said that I was useless and that my parents are just pitying me, which is why I was still alive." he answered while continuing to cry.

Who the heck tells a five-year-old kid such things, It is making me feel very mad! I slowly see my father's face becoming angry while hugging Henry.

"Don't worry my son. You don't have to pay mind to such comments. Just remember, we will always love you." said my father as he wiped my brother's tears.

Looking at this family, I remember that I never had such a loving family before. I don't want this family to be destroyed, it is the only family I have known. I know I said that I will try not to change things, but, I have just realized that if I want to change my destiny, I will have to change the story aswell. So.....I will have to change the story, and for once...

I KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!
