Zenith's Point Of View
When I arrived at the place where my mission was to kill, I came across what he was doing to a child. It was still fun to do while the child was asking for help. I came out of the darkness where I stood.
"You see, you even committed a heinous crime before you lost your life," as I said it was stunned by what was being done to the child and seemed to be looking for me.
"T-Help ... yet .. I feel sorry for you," the girl who was being exploited by this old man said weakly.
I could not see its face because the room was quite dark and only the moonlight served as light in it.
I approached the man then shook him, "I'm just here oh .."
He looked even more surprised before I looked back, when he saw me he looked at my body from head to toe.
I saw his grin, "Tss. And who are you kid? How did you get in here? Did you come to save this kid? You made the wrong decision then."
"The number of questions you have, is that all you're going to say before I kill you?" he even laughed because of what I said.
"Me? You're going to kill me? You're going crazy, kid. Since there's nothing someone like you can do to someone like me, it's okay and you're here ... I can take you with — ugh!" he suddenly cried out in pain when I kicked his penis, disgusting ...
"Tsk, the amount you're saying. I'd better keep you quiet ..." I held his head at the same time that I was going to turn and break.
But suddenly the girl got up, "Wait ..." it stopped.
My eyes widened when I saw the girl's face, she ...
He was the one who helped me before when I was on the mountain!
I also remember the first time I got out of our mansion. I thought at first, Grandpa and I were going on vacation but when he lifted me with things that weighed ten kilos I was surprised. I had no idea then and I was only three years old.
"Zenith! Come on," Grandpa Zilver called to me.
I exited my room while struggling to carry the equipment.
"Grandpa? Where are we going?" I will ask.
He just let me, “It’s your first day of training so you should be awake more early,” he explained.
He started to walk so I followed him even on tiptoe. These are too heavy for me.
"Grandpa? Are we going far? What kind of training am I going to do? Besides, I'm already burdened with what I'm carrying, what is it for?" I kept asking questions even though it was difficult.
He stopped walking to look back at me so I also stopped and innocently looked at him.
"I don't want a lot of questions, Zenith. I'll just answer your question if it makes sense so stop me from doing useless things. Just follow me," he said directly, which surprised me. My grandfather is not like that to me but now he seems to be different.
Then he immediately turned his back on me and walked away again.
On the way down we met some slaves and they watched me with a streak of pity.
Mag tried to approach me at that time, "Lady Maure ... let me help you with what you are carrying."
I knew the bad look that Grandpa gave him, I smiled and I would have given him another use when Grandpa spoke.
"What do you think you're doing, slave?" he asked so it was stunned, I wondered looking at Grandpa.
"I just want to help Lady Maure with her bag, Chief Zilver. You're having a hard time—"
"And who told you he needed help?" when Grandpa interrupted what he was saying.
"Grandpa ..."
He approached us to give back everything I had earlier to me and then told me, "Never show weakness. They should fear you and not pity you, do you understand?"
None of myself nodded. I knew nothing but fear that Grandpa might hit me or scold me badly.
He confronted the slaves who were there.
"Listen everyone. None of you can help my grandson, as soon as I see someone or find out that someone has disobeyed you I will kill you," he said in silence.
"Hmm. Thank you, Kuya. But I can do it," I said softly to the servant who had the courage to help me earlier.
The slave just bowed and left without speaking.
Poor him ...
"Now, Zenith. Take all that equipment with you without difficulty because there is no poor Aspen in this family," he said then walked out of the mansion.
I couldn't catch up with Grandpa and I was eventually caught. A few more minutes before I can leave the mansion. There were those who approached my family slaves, who definitely wanted to help but I just shook hands with them and continued walking until I reached the opposite side of the car.
"Lady Maure, help me—"
"Leave him alone, Zenith can handle that thing ..." Grandpa interrupted by offering a slave to take us.
It just curiously looked at me and got into the car.
"Grandpa ..."
"You come in and we're leaving. I don't think you're slower than the turtle, it's frustrating that for an Aspen you still have five minutes to follow me right away," he said without looking at me.
"I'm sorry Grandpa, it won't happen again."
"It should be, because I'm sure after this training of yours you'll be able to keep up with my walk. You're too slow for an assassin," he said bluntly.
I collapsed because of that. I rode quietly.
Grandpa sat up first and then motioned to the driver, "Let's go to the mountain of Agasus."
The slave looked even more shocked before starting the car ... I wondered why.
What's there?
