==================================================

Arthur made his way to the lake and when he bent down to take some water, then he saw his reflection, his golden hair was now long almost covering his eyes, he was very thin and almost looks like a skeleton, he felt sad, he wanted to cry again, he remembers all of his family, all the villagers, and his friends.

Then a single tear dropped into the calm lake which made it distorted, just then a memory flashed into him, August embracing him in his arms, he felt warm, he felt security, in his embrace, he didn't need to worry about anything, yes, he remembered it, a man who will make you secure and warm in his hands, 'father' Arthur murmured, he smiled then washed.

After that Arthur returned, there he saw August doing work, he stayed in the side and watched August do his work, just then Arthur looked at August carefully, he just noticed that he looks very young, he had flawless skin that shames those beautiful women and a short brown hair with handsome features, he then turned his eyes into August hands, he was hammering the nails, he was fast and precise.

Just then Arthur remembered how August fought in the forest, though he didn't see much, he saw how he defeated the boss, he can't help but be curious about August background, after thinking for a while, his curiosity was killing him, Arthur gulped nervously then stepped forward, August then turned his head to him "What is the problem?" August asked.

"F-Father, what were you doing before you became a hunter?" Arthur asked he learned from the villagers that August was the best hunter in the village, he also helped them in farming and he also invented new things in the village which made him an irreplaceable person, "I was an Adventurer" August replied.

Arthur suddenly got excited when he heard August was an Adventurer, when he was young he had heard many stories about adventurers, they were powerful, brave, courageous, and legendary people, "You're really an adventurer?" Arthur asked in an excited voice.

"Yeah" August replied.

"Then have you met the Battle Emperor?" Arthur asked, August was suddenly frozen, 'The Battle Emperor?' wasn't that his title in his past life, now August was intrigued.

"Who is this Battle Emperor?" August asked,

"You don't know him father?" Arthur asked and stared at him.

"No, can you tell me about him?" August said, Arthur nodded then started to tell the tale of The Battle Emperor.

"The Battle Emperor was the strongest adventurer in the continent, he was known around the world, at young age with his big sword he had slain evil dragons, and when the demons invaded he had killed the demon king, and countless monsters, he also had saved many lives from stopping the war, unfortunately, in the story, it was said that he retired and suddenly disappeared, all people around the world looked for him but was never found again, then many people started telling his stories and there is no soul out there who doesn't know him" Arthur said in a fascinated expression

August then concluded that the Battle Emperor in the story was him, but evil dragon? he clearly remembers that when he was young, he was hunting lizards that time, their size was big and could fly in the air which made it annoying, just then due to his poor direction, he met this very big black lizard with very huge wings, he didn't mind it that time but the lizard roared at him which made him angry, he decided to teach it a lesson but accidentally killed it, how can that thing be called a dragon?

After that, One day when he was strolling around and looking for a place to stay, he then saw a big black castle, he decided to rest there but he met these ugly things that kept attacking him, of course, he got irritated and slew them all, after that he made his way to the castle, then he met this guy with sick head, who keeps saying he was the hero and he will destroy the world, August didn't care and found a room just as he was about to enter, the guy then sudden;y dashed and stopped him from going to the room.

"Hey I just want to rest okay, don't mind me," August explained, then continued, the guy got angry and attacked at August, he raised his arm and his long claws swept in the hall, August sighed and stepped to the side, which made the attack miss, August then use his sword to knock the guy out, he didn't want to kill the owner of the castle, he then took out a gold coin and threw it to the unconscious guy, then he made his way to the room, when he entered there he saw what he was looking for, a bed! but August frowned there was a crystal ball in the bed.

August picked it up and put it on the table, but it suddenly rolled off and fell on the floor, then it broke, August was really sleepy that time that he didn't care anymore, he went to the bed and slept, the next morning when he woke up there was no one in the castle anymore, even the annoying ugly things outside were gone, August just then put some gold coins on the table and left, it was a payment for the broken crystal ball.

After that August lived his life killing monsters leisurely as he spent his days, after those days he retired, August thought that those storytellers must have exaggerated his story, but August didn't care anymore, he was a young man now, no one would recognize him except his old friends and those who knew him, he also doesn't have a plan to tell his children about it.

August then turned his head at Arthur who was still telling the story of the Battle Emperor with a big smile on his face, just then August has finished creating Arthur's bed, after that, they moved the bed in the house, August then started cooking and Elaine who just woke up was in the arms of Arthur who was taking care of her, August stared at the two and felt happy, they are too cute.
