POV : Olivia (3)

POV Olivia

-------------------

After listening to this boy's story, I could not say the words.

Of course, comforting words will only provide comfort for a moment, not forever.

I chose silence.

He looked at me and smiled

"My story is not as beautiful as your life, Princess."

To be honest, my feelings are like being torn apart. I've never felt anything like this.

It's not like I was a person without empathy before I met this boy.

But when I heard the story, it was really conveyed.

Maybe it's because of his original experience so that it can create sad emotions for those who hear it?

I also depend on him again to take me to the city.

I felt as long as I was with him, I could handle anything.

But does he feel the same way?

Of course not right?

He has lived alone all this time, so what I to him?

I mean, without me he would be able to go anywhere, free like a bird in the sky.

I acted arrogantly and said I wanted to return the favor but was I useful to him?

During the trip, I hid this bitterness by myself. I didn't want to cause trouble for him.

I remember the direction when I was brought here. You could say my memory is quite good

Not.

Precisely my instincts.

My gift is Ultra instinct.

Every person has different natural talents when reaching age 9 years old.

This makes me sensitive to something and allows me to make decisions according to my wishes.

Just like when I followed this kid's plan. I felt that the plan was the best opportunity I had.

On the way, we met 1 monster, a goblin.

In the book about monsters, goblins are described as wild monsters that attack weak people and women. I've heard stories from victims whose villages were attacked by goblins, that goblins abduct women to be used as tools for breeding. Imagining what happened, scared me.

It is true, this boy won against 4 adults, but he was also injured. He has not healed properly, but suddenly met a monster like this probably due to our bad luck

Without me knowing, I took Vin's hand.

I want to help him.

I want him to depend on me.

But I can't stop shaking.

But the boy calmed me down. He seemed to say "Leave it to me."

And sure enough, he killed the goblin easily.

He is a strong kid but knows nothing about the outside world.

He doesn't even know Storage Pouch and the magic stone.

I want to tell you everything.

But my pride won't let it.

We continued our journey.

Aside from seeing the goblins, we were followed by a wolf. I pretended not to know, to test this boy. But it seemed like he intended to ignore the wolf, as long as they did not approach. Not how long, we arrived at a big road. From there we could see the city ​​gate. He told me to leave.

Does he have a place to spend the night?

I could not stop myself from asking.

He also said he would sleep in the bandit's house.

I know, I can't take him to town, but I really want to return the favor.

After I couldn't think of any solution, I resigned myself and promised to meet tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow morning I will repay everything. I don't want to owe this boy anything.

When I arrived at the city gate, the guards recognized me and bring me into the city. While I looked back, I hoped that he could sleep peacefully. He had tried his best so far.

I asked one of the guards to patrol the place where I parted from Vin earlier.

"Guard, I ask, patrol the area, I see a pack of wolves while walking here. Report the results later to Caroline. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

The guard went missing somewhere. Maybe he wanted to ask for help. Fighting a pack of wolves alone was a reckless thing. I wanted to ensure Vin's safety. At least he didn't die when I could help him.

The other guards escorted me to the Mansion where we were staying. Of course, this city was not the capital of the Evandel kingdom. I came here to collaborate with the Commoner Faction. I was escorted to the Mansion where I was staying.

There I was welcomed by my servants and my Guardians

"Your Excellency Olivia, are you alright? I apologize for my negligence so that Your Highness is experiencing various problems. I beg you to punish me as much as possible."

"It's okay, Caroline, this also happened because my carelessness didn't realize that an enemy was attacking."

"But as Your Excellency Guardian, this is a fatal mistake. Your Excellency is one of the candidates for the Evandel Ruler in the future. I beg you to punish Your Highness, if not, then I will forever feel guilty."

"Well, As a punishment, Caroline, you must follow all my wishes, without asking anything later."

"Your will is my command, Your Highness. Your Highness certainly knows that Your Highness does not need to ask me, I will definitely carry out whatever your commands. I want me to be punished by Your Highness."

"You will find out later."

"Your Highness, I'm sorry if I was presumptuous, but how did you get to the city safely?"

"I'll tell you everything, but not here. Let's go to my room."

"Yes, Your Highness."

We both went to my room. I did not want our conversation to be heard by other people. When I got to the room, I told her everything. How could I be kidnapped, my meeting with the boy. I have not told the state of the boy's eyes. later. I told her how the boy defeated the bandits. Even though I didn't see how he killed the bandits but seeing their scars I could imagine it. Caroline who heard all of my explanations made a look of disbelief. I told him how he faced when fighting with the goblin. Caroline who kept silent finally sighed.

"That boy is very talented, but he made Your Highness serve those vulgar bandits ??? !!!!"

Caroline seemed angry at the boy's attitude. To be honest, I was also upset, but there was no other choice. I also told Caroline

"We have no other choice, you know that."

"Ugh ... If I were there ..."

Caroline then surprised and asked me.

"Your Highness, if you are saved by that boy, where is he now?"

Caroline finally realized it too. Here I have to be careful when I say it. If not, she might misunderstand.

"The boy cannot come here. Not because he does not want it, but because the circumstances do not allow it."

"Circumstances?"

"Caroline, you still remember the rumor that the Demon King has a different eye color, right?

"Of course, what does that have to do with ... wait a minute, what do you mean by that kid's eyes have a different eye color ??? !!!"

As expected, Caroline quickly grasped my point.

"Keep your voice down Caroline, I don't want anyone else to hear it."

"But Your Highness, a boy with a different eye color is believed to be the reincarnation of the Demon King. You cannot believe him. Moreover, he can kill an adult even though he is still a boy, right ?? !!"

Wow Caroline, your compliment before turned into hatred.

The fact that the boy is gifted turns into a horrible boy in an instant.

Is that boy used to receiving this kind of treatment?

"Caroline !! I will not forgive you if you insult my savior!"

"But Your Highness ..."

"Enough, I will punish you. Tomorrow you will have to take me to meet him."

"Are you sure you are not bewitched by him? Judging from wherever he seems to target Your Highness. I suggest we bring troops and finish him directly. That boy can not be left alive, Your Highness. There have been a lot of victims who fell when the Demon King attacked humans before. Are Your Highness want to repeat the tragedy? "

I finally understood why the boy insisted he didn't want to come with me.

I realize I'm naive. I don't see the reality in front of me.

Even my position has a huge influence in this kingdom, my opinion is easily ignored.

Does the boy always hold back himself?

I looked at Caroline with emotion

"Caroline, you dare to oppose me now? You remember what your job is not?"

I used a threatening tone, which I had never said in my entire life.

"Your Highness, but ..."

"Once again, you argue my opinion, I'll replace you."

"Forgive me, Your Highness."

Caroline finally gave up.

"Caroline, do you believe me? I'm used to seeing different types of people, I won't be easily fooled. Also, that boy can't use magic, because his Role is Support."

That's right, when he collapsed, I saw a rune on his arm. The rune clearly showed that he was a Support. He couldn't use magic other than healing and buffs.

"Caroline, I know you are worried, but I beg you to trust me. I will meet that boy tomorrow for the last time to return the favor. You will be there with me, I will feel safe. Do you feel unable to protect me?"

"Not Your Highness. I will fulfill Your Highness expectations."

"Good, then, but before that I want you to prepare something."

Tomorrow is the last time I see him. Who knows, maybe in the future we will meet again. For now, I will find items that he might need.

"I want you to prepare some boy size clothes for everyday wear, food, good weapons, and maps. I also want you to think of ways that boy can enter the city safely, without being burdened by the condition of his eyes. After everything is ready, enter the items are in a good quality Storage Pouch. Do you understand? "

"Alright Your Highness, I will carry out your order soon."

I can't wait for tomorrow. I want to see him happy even for just a moment.

Caroline went out, to complete the task that I gave.

I lay my body on the bed

Comfortable and soft.

I was thinking, how is the boy's condition. Surely he will sleep on the wooden floor, right?

I can't stop thinking about that child.

What happened to me?

I closed my eyes.

The image of the boy's face appeared in my mind.

A face that always faking his smile

Who knows how much burden that boy shouldered.

Finally, drowsiness defeated me, and I fell asleep.
