About Rio

Mr. Reno stroked Zarius' hair lovingly. He had just seen the persistence of a child who wanted to find his identity like this. Mr. Reno also thinks that Zarius' family must be worried about Zarius too. But, that's if the young man still has a family.

"You did a good deed, Son! Now... rest!

If you need anything, just call me! I'm in front," said Mr. Rendi as he stood up.

"Do you still feel nauseous and dizzy now?" Mr. Reno asked while wiping the sweat off Zarius' forehead.

Zarius shook his head weakly. His breath was still panting because his body temperature was still high. Zarius was sure that all this pain wasn't coming from his wounds. All of his wounds had mysteriously closed. However, Zarius still often feels nauseous and dizzy. Zarius felt like he was in a place he shouldn't be.

Mr. Reno smiled sadly, feeling sorry for the child.

"Every time you feel pain again, please tell the people closest to you, okay? Rest well for a while ... until you are strong enough to go to the orphanage," said Mr. Reno before he left.

Zarius just nodded with a smile.

Unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes were watching them from the top of the tree next to Zarius' room.

"I hope you will serve your sentence well, My Prince. I am still working on many ways to get your spiritual power back soon. Until then, I beg you to stay alive in this Human Realm," muttered the jet-black haired figure. After that, he flapped his pair of black wings and flew into the night sky.

Well, he is Rio, a bodyguard and friend who was always with Zarius when they were on Planet Fotia.

Even though he never showed his existence, Rio was always keeping an eye on Zarius. He protects Zarius, but tries not to be seen by Zarius.

Don't know what Rio was really planning, but maybe it's for Zarius' good too. So, Rio kept quiet even though his prince lord was having a hard time.

In fact, Rio is a demon who has opened the 'Seal of Language' on Zarius and helped Zarius to escape to Earth or commonly called the Mortal Realm.

Even though Zarius's life was miserable while in the Human World, it was better than dying at the hands of enemies and black magicians. At least, that's what Rio thought when he decided to send Zarius to this other planet called Earth.

Rio was planning something very important. Then, when the time comes, Rio will restore Zarius' memories completely.

Zarius looked at the paper in his wallet. Fortunately, Mr. Reno had given Zarius a wallet and cash. So, maybe after this Zarius will lead an independent life.

When Zarius opened the wallet. There is a photo of two boys. One was about 10 years old, and the other was about 12 years old. One of them is Eric, Zarius can't be mistaken.

Turns out, Eric did look annoying since he was little, thought Zarius who was always insulted by Eric.

In fact, Zarius didn't know that Eric was actually a coward. Eric was even often bullied at school. Only when at home, Eric dared to express his grievances. Including saying that Eric hates Zarius openly.

"Ah ... is this boy Eric's older brother? He looks just as annoying as his younger brother. The two annoying brothers!" Zarius grumbled when he saw the photo of the two boys.

Zarius thought that this wallet must have previously belonged to Mr. Reno's sons. It's just that it's no longer used because it's already ugly.

Zarius didn't know why, he hated having such an ugly wallet. Zarius even thought maybe he was a rich man before. Landlord's son or even mafia's son?

Well, it seems that Zarius is slowly returning to his true self. Prince who is arrogant and likes to torture. Only, Zarius didn't realize that. The real character is more and more formed as time goes by.

***

What exactly is Rio's plan? Was it a plot to take revenge for the humiliation received by Prince Zarius, his lord?

Then, how will the story of Zarius' journey to find his identity continue?

Does Eric really hate Zarius?

All will be answered in volume 2: Finding Identity
