Chapter 31

Clover Kingdom (Morning)

Inside a big noble house, several servants both male and female moved quickly, there were also several guards, these people seemed to be working quite intensely after all, their young master was seriously injured.

In a large room, Yuno was lying on a king-size bed, Letoile was sitting on a chair near to Yuno, her head resting on the bed and her hand holding Yuno's ones.

Yuno slowly opened his eyes, his vision blurred for a moment and then his sight slowly returned, he looked to his right, he couldn't help but feel happiness at having company, all the times he had been hurt since he bought this house when he was only 13. years he was always alone with his servants.

Yuno could feel that Sylph was no longer inside his body, so he assumed that she must have go out for a moment, Yuno extended his hand to Letoille's face, he took off her glasses and then pinched her cheek making her wake up

''Hmm? Yuno you finally wake up'' Letoille said with a slight smile and sleepy expression.

''Yes, thank for being here that means a lot to me''

''I'm the one who owes you thanks'' Letoille said looking directly at Yuno's eyes.

Yuno stared into her violet eyes for a moment, then leaned over to the small table next to her and opened the drawer, pulling out a pendant with a beautiful stone, Then he got up slowly.

''Careful'' Letoille wanted to stood up but Yuno made a sign for her to stop.

''This pendant is the most important object of my life, I am supposed to carry it with me but I always get distracted looking at it since it brings back a lot of memories'' Yuno said softly as he put the pendant around the Letoile's neck.

''So why do you give it to me? you should keep it''

''It looks better in one of the most important people for me'' Yuno said with a warm smile, making Letoile blush.

''W-who's the other ones?'' Letoile asked watching to the other side.

''My late parents'' Yuno said with a melancholic voice.

''...'' Letoile didn't say anything, she didn't want to pressure Yuno to tell her about his past, she already knew some things because of the rumors.

A maid entered the room with a plate of food, placed it on the table and then left. Yuno approached to the table and took the plate of food, then he sat on the edge of the bed near Letoile.

''Do you want me to tell you about it? I have no problem'' Yuno said as he share the food with Letoile.

Letoile nodded she would be lying if she said she didn't want to know more, she finally noticed that she didn't have her glasses on and saw them on the bed, she waws about to take them but Yuno wouldn't let her.

Letoile pouted and looked at Yuno's eyes

''It was a once upon a time...'' Yuno started to speak.

...

(Yuno's Past)

In a small village in the southwest of the Clover Kingdom near an orphanage, A man who was bleeding to death was walking desperately, in his arms was a small black-haired baby and he was wearing a beautiful necklace.

The man left the baby in a basket in front of the orphanage, he knocked on the door and when he heard footsteps, he left the place.

''Again?'' A old woman open the door and took the baby.

''Such a beautiful baby!'' The old woman looked at the baby with a warm expression, then she enter to the orphanage.

The old woman put the baby in a cradle and took the letter which was in the cradle and started to read it

...

Ten years later...

Children, come the dinner is already a young woman said in the kitchen of the orphanage.

The children quickly came out of their rooms, sat down at the table and began to eat.

''Hey, Yuno is it true that you can use Wind Magic?'' A blondie girl asked, she looked at Yuno with her big eyes full of curiosity.

Yuno exhibited a small smile, then he extended his hand to the girl, and a warm wind came out of his little hands, lifting the blonde hair of the girl.

''Woahh!'' The blondie child and the other children looked at Yuno with surprise, the Young woman who was near to them looked at this with a warm smile.

''You are so cool Yuno, you can be a great Magic Knight!'' The child said with a happy smile.

''Thank you Sophie'' Yuno smiled back.

''Let's go out and play'' Sophie said, then Yuno and the children left the orphanage the Young woman followed them.

...

On a beautiful sunset the children were playing in a small forest not far from the village, the scene was beautiful and peaceful.

''I wish she could have lived longer to see this beautiful sight'' The young woman said remembering his grandmother who took care of these children.

''What is this smell?'' Yuno stopped abruptly, Sophie she tilted her head in confusion as she listened to Yuno.

Sniff Sniff

They both sniffed and looked at each other, then at the same time said.

''Fire!''

The young woman who was playing with the children, stopped and looked at the sky, a dark smoke floated upwards, in the direction of the village.

''Children, behind me!'' The Young Woman summoned a grimoire...
