THREE DAYS LATER
Louis prepares breakfast for the three of them, after breakfast they get ready for the next city which is one of the richest cities in Britannis Paeonia City, Walter looks smart wearing a striped shirt with a small neatly sewn coat, Evelyne is wearing a crimson dress with head jewelry and his neck looks prominent, while Louis wears a fur coat and a hat, along with a cane he ties his hair neatly.
"Thank you Mr. Johnson...the three of us will go first"
Johnson smiled
"This..."
Johnson gave money to Louis, Louis immediately refused
"Mr. Johnson you don't need to bother--"
"It's okay, you're saving aren't you??? I heard from Walter that you want to study at the University, so this is a little gift from me"
"Ahhh Walter is really not good at keeping secrets..."
Louis made an awkward face, Johnson patted Louis on the shoulder.
"Louis, if you really are going to be a historian, I'm proud of you... I don't know what's wrong with you but I'm impressed, your skills as a historian will make people here admire and respect you, you should get out of this group..."
Louis grabbed Johnson's shoulder
"Sir, even though I have become a historian, I will never forget my origins, I promise to open an academy here..St John will be a city filled with geniuses, other cities will start respecting us along with this Government, I promise"
Johnson saw seriousness in Louis's gray eyes, eyes he hadn't seen in a long time. He hugged Louis and held back tears.
"Good luck Louis Roosevelt"
Louis just smiled and patted Johnson on the back
"Thank you Mr. Johnson..."
"Brother!!! Hurry up, we'll be late!!!"
Louis and Johnson who were shocked continued to let go of the hug, they were awkward and laughed.
"Alright!!! Alright!!! Wait a minute, Walter!!!"
Louis took off his hat and bowed respectfully. "I'll go first Mr. Johnson"
"Have fun..."
Johnson smiled and waved at the three of them, Louis seemed to smile which made Walter wonder.
"What did you and Mr. Johnson talk about???"
"Nothing...just a promise"
"Promise???"
Louis nodded while looking at the window next to him.
"Yes, a promise to come as soon as possible..."
After three hours of travel, they finally reached the luxurious city of Paeonia. Walter and Evelyne were amazed by the development of technology there, where they began to introduce cars and advanced machines. Louis only looked around him and looked at one of the features of the city.
"Apparently, the progress of the century here happens at a rapid pace...unlike my world...where war is one of the revivals in the modernity of the century..."
"Brother..."
Walter saw his brother, Louis was thinking alone, he immediately pulled his shirt.
"What's wrong Walter???
"What do you think??? Should we go there first???"
Walter showed a strange old woman hunched over who seemed to be surrounded by residents. Louis was immediately interested
"What should we say to that old grandmother??? Looks like she's selling food, right???"
Evelyne saw the grandmother who seemed busy serving the townspeople.
"It seems so"
The three of them approached an old grandmother who was actually not serving customers but instead was being cursed at by the townspeople.
"Fucking old granny!!!! Give me back the money!!! You said the prediction was that I would win that bet!!!"
The old grandmother didn't reply, instead making an eye contract with Louis.
"Damn grandmother!!! Your prediction about my future wife was wrong!!! I was humiliated by that woman's family!!! Give me my money back!!!
When they were about to hit the old lady, Louis immediately took Walter and Evelyne aside.
"Evelyne, Walter wait a minute!!! It seems like you can't see this happening...for a while..."
"Brother but!!!"
"Don't worry!!! Just a moment!!! You two wait here!!"
Louis immediately ran towards the crowd and stopped the fight.
"Can you guys stop??? You've all made a fuss"
Louis was in front of the old grandmother who was collecting her tarot cards that were torn up by them.
"Ahh?!! Who is this bastard pretending to be a hero!!! What a fool!!!"
Louis was also scolded, but he was used to their hassle.
"I know this grandmother has done something wrong!!! But to humiliate and beat this grandmother is a crime!!! You can go to the police station to report this grandmother's crime not to beat her!!!"
They began to realize Louis' words.
"And also!!! There are kids here from other cities who want to watch the fireworks!!! Aren't you ashamed???"
Those who were around Louis, just nodded and agreed with Louis' words. However, there were still some who were not satisfied and even pushed Louis until he fell.
"Brother!!!!"
"Walter!!!!"
Evelyne wanted to catch up with her younger brother but was unable to. Walter who saw Louis immediately ran towards him who was crowded with grown men, he was stepped on when he wanted to go towards Louis, Walter suffered a little bleeding which made Louis lose his patience, he hugged his brother.
"Hey....Who among you stepped on my brother???"
Louis' gray eyes remained sharp until they all backed away
"Hey!!! What's wrong with this damn thing!!!!"
Louis continued to pick up the knife that fell and came towards the crowd, the old lady took the opportunity to escape, they saw a different Louis, suddenly a strong person wearing a long gray coat held Louis's hand holding the knife.
"It hurts..."
The expression on his face showed pain, he looked up and saw a man with red eyes, wearing a hat and a long coat with a special badge on the side of his chest pocket, Louis immediately let go of his knife.
"You're like a new person here...."
The man looked at Louis sharply
"Don't you know the rules???"
Louis looked at him again, then Walter suddenly pulled Louis' arm.
"Brother, I'm fine, I'm just bleeding a little, actually I'm fine"
Louis saw Walter who looked fine, Evelyne was pushed by a figyra who looked like a policeman.
"Mr Liam!!!Looks like the old lady ran away!!!"
"Look for her until you find her, it seems she's one of the Awaken, she's not an old lady...she's just pretending"
"Alright sir!!!"
"Awaken????"
Louis was suddenly surprised but acted fine
"Sorry for holding tight, we all remember you were a tourist who made a fuss..."
"Introducing myself Liam Frederick, the chief detective of the special crime unit in this city"
"Chief detective, yeah...it seems like looking at his figure, he looks so fierce..."
"We are covering a murder case involving the Awaken,so we are here to warn you to be careful, especially at night"
"Thank you for the advice, my name is Louis Roosevelt, this is my sister Evelyne and Walter, thank you very much"
"No problem,nice to meet you Walter,Evelyne"
They immediately left on a horse-drawn carriage.
"It seems they still don't understand how to use the engine, huh..."
"Mr. Liam is really tall, I almost fought him..."
Louis grabbed Walter's shoulder and apologized
"I'm sorry, Walter, I just arrived and there's a problem I've caused"
Walter and Evelyne were not angry but understood
"It's okay brother, we understand why"
Louis stroked their hair
"Alright before the party starts, Evelyne!!!"
Evelyne nodded and took out a cloth, she called Walter.
"Walter come here!!! Close to me"
"What's wrong sister???
"Just come here"
Evelyne who was sitting in the wheelchair tied a cloth over Walter's eyes while Louis helped.
"Sister??? Brother??? What is this???"
"Don't worry Walter just follow me brother, hold my hand!!!"
Meanwhile ST GOLDEN STREET LANE
Liam was seen inspecting the body that was found dumped in the river, the condition of the body was rotting.Liam examined the condition of the body.
"It looks like he's been killed for a few days, but there's no serious wound or any kind of stabbing, but his internal organs are missing, as a result of awakening???"
When Liam was actively looking at the body, the identity of the body was finally known.
"Sir, the identity of this corpse is known!!!...he...he is a 33-year-old man!!! His name is Weston Walker!!!"
At that time all the police and knights who were on guard were shocked
"He is!!! He is the son of the Minister of Defense!!!!"
Liam continued to ride the horse
"Inform the palace as soon as possible, examine the body and send it to the surgeon!!!"
"Good sir!!!!"
Liam kept kicking the horse rope to run fast, heading to the palace hall
"Apparently, this has something to do with the Ahmed regime and its allies, is this the first warning of the Eastern Kingdom, but I also have to be ready in three months. They are now targeting the western allies"
Jaxon Restaurant
Louis and his siblings were eating together, Walter looked happy.
"Is the meat good Walter???
Walter who was eating food until he was smudged continued to nod
"This meat is delicious brother!!!!"
Louis laughed, he continued to take a cloth, wipe Walter's lips and cheeks
"It's delicious enough to make you dirty Walter, eat carefully"
"Good brother!!!"
Louis just smiled at his brothers behavior, Evelyne immediately scooped up the soup and wanted to feed Louis.
The reaction on Louis' face was shocked.
"For me???"
"Who else???"
"Really???"
Louis was embarrassed, but he sipped the soup, Evelyne fed her brother slowly.
"Delicious???"
"It's delicious!!!"
"Sister, I want to try too!!!"
"Hahahaha are you still hungry???"
Walter nodded, Louis squeezed his sister's cheek
"Only a small body but an appetite like a wild animal!!!, but because it's your birthday, order as much food as you like!!! I'll pay"
Evelyne and Louis laughed, Walter was happy together, after eating they wandered until late at night, The three of them waited at the center of the capital.
"Evelyne Walter!!! Look it's 12pm!!!" The sound of fireworks was heard, there was no stopping the night was beautiful with the shining stars and the parade, the show made Walter's birthday more meaningful.In all his life as Sebastian he had never felt as happy as Louis roosevelt at this moment, he held back tears.
Seeing his younger brother Walter played with fireworks, Evelyne just held his hand tightly.
"Sister!!! Brother!!!"
Walter ran towards them both, he hugged them tightly
"Let's live longer and be happy!!!, that's my wish right now!!!"
Louis smiled and hugged him tighter "Of course... we will make that moment together, our Roosevelt family"
