Mending Regrets

The morning came and Alex once again took a team to go hunting in order to sell the corpses and save the money when they needed it. This time he took Anna with him and left Jack to help Lora guard the kids and him.

Marco hadn't talked much to Jack, when they first met, Jack was the one who suggested that the group leave him. Marco didn't hold any resentment since he couldn't blame the guard for thinking like that based on what he imagined the old prince to be like.

Another reason that he didn't think much of it was because Jack was a stranger. No one, no matter how idiot, would feel that a stranger should be forced to help them. Even if it didn't bother him he could tell that Jack still felt uncomfortable.

According to LEAD the guards were now completely loyal to him and wouldn't go against him so he couldn't let Jack keep feeling like that. He walked towards him and sat down facing the kids.

Jack felt that Marco had sat next to him and he began to scoot away. Marco looked at him and said, "Those kids really are something, with all that energy that they have it's impossible to believe that 2 days ago they were dying because of starvation".

The guard stopped moving and nodded while looking at one of the girls who whacked a boy in the head with the bamboo "sword". They both laughed and began looking at who Lora would pair her with next. Her new opponent didn't do too well either and got smacked in the face with the stick.

Marco looked at the guard and patted his shoulder "look Jack I want you to know that I'm thankful to all of you. I wouldn't be able to see any of this if it wasn't for all of you".

Jack began to lower his head in shame. It was true what Marco had said but if the others had followed his plan then the prince would have just died in the cave. This made him feel guilty that he had done that to his new King.

Marco was still not finished so he continued "Raise your head proud, remember that I don't have any memory of anything. For me, everything started on a new page that moment on the cave when you called me your king. Currently, you have nothing to feel ashamed of".

The guard lifted his head, looking at his King who wasn't official but to them, it was only natural. Tears began to form and run down his cheeks, he was about to kneel in the grass but he was stopped by Rex.

"There is no need for that, don't forget that I'm not actually your king, at least not officially till I get the crown and throne back somehow."

Jack quickly shook his head "No my king for us you are and will forever be our one and only king".

Ding 🤖 "Come on man stop all the waterworks and drama. Don't forget that you, a pile of sticks, still have a long way to go. At the rate you're going you will die of old age before you get strong enough to be worthy of me".

(("Oh shut it, I'll start working on my strength soon. I'm just waiting for my health to get full again, meanwhile, I'll be working on my mana".))

He thanked Jack and walked back. He could see that the guard now had more energy then he had ever seen him with.

He put the money away and began to meditate. Once again he lost track of time and managed to meditate till past midnight. He began to stretch and felt all his bones pop.

(("Damn I feel worse than what I think an old man would".))

Ding 🤖 "That's because you are hehe".

Rex opened his status and couldn't help but smile.

After putting the money away he rubbed his hands like an evil man planning something.

(("Yeah looks like by tomorrow I can start working on my strength hehe".))

Ding 🤖 "haha I want to see if after tomorrow you will have the same enthusiasm since I can already guess how sore your whole body will be".

Marco simply grinned (("don't be a party pooper man. We will cross that bridge when we get to it".

He laid down and started planning out the next day before falling asleep.
