Side Story: Howald's POV ~His Reasons For Love~

When I was young, I was trained by my father to wield a knight. Since then, I have wanted to become a knight. My parents lived a life of happiness, and I couldn't be happier than that. However, they died due to an illness

I didn't do anything back then. I was pathetic, thinking I was still small with no money to work on. My father would always be the one to work in our tiny house, and my mother would always do the household chores but now, I'm left alone

It was a huge responsibility and obligation I had to myself. I was never informed of their illness

They never talked it out to me. So the main reason why they were always smiling while talking to me was to hide their pain

But why? If they knew they would abandon me in the end, then why didn't they tell the truth?

I don't care if I die; I'm soaking my whole body in the rain. Sitting in a narrow alley on the pavement while hungry

I'll die here
