Sadness

Happy Reading~

===========

"Son... Go back to your room, leave the rest to your mother." my mother said, turning her head slightly towards me.

Right now, the expression she was showing, it was extremely frightening.

For some reason, she must have felt very annoyed.

Especially, her eldest son, he had been beaten for no reason.

Really, what mother wouldn't be angry if her child was beaten like that.

Of course, they will not remain silent.

"... Oke." because I had no other choice, I finally chose to withdraw.

Unfortunately, before I could climb the stairs.

I heard my father's voice, he told me to reflect on my mistakes.

"Noah, don't think dad is rude. I just want you to know that not everyone is bad. So, think for yourself."

Indeed, all I could do was nod.

The reason is, it's because I know that it's useless to challenge him.

In the end, I will be beaten by him again.

Although, I didn't get a single wound.

But not for my brother, he was the one who suffered the most.

Our father's fist, that was terrifying.

Plus, with the level of strength he has.

Certainly, there would be no one in this place who would be able to restrain him.

If that blow had hit me, I would have fainted.

Luckily, my brother, he came to help me.

*step-* *step-* *step-*

After I left, the whole dining room.

It became silent, with no one speaking up.

Until, several minutes have passed.

"Is he gone?" my father asked, trying to check the surroundings.

"I think so..." answered my mother, without stopping showing her sharp gaze.

Even though she knew her husband's actions were for the sake of their children, she didn't care.

In the end, it didn't change the fact that he had dared to beat up one of them.

"Cough-" for a moment, there was a coughing sound around the place

"Athen!? Are you okay?!"

"Yeah..." replied my brother, while wiping his mouth.

Seen, his mouth, it is a little bloody.

Luckily, the injuries he received were not too serious.

However, he felt that his jaw was about to break.

Before he could stand up, he felt something.

Something, like someone was holding his body.

Indeed, that person was none other than his mother.

"Don't move, let mother heal you."

*Shring-*

Suddenly, a green light began to appear between my mother's palms.

*Fyush-*

Simultaneously, with the injuries suffered by my brother.

It started to disappear, as if nothing had ever happened.

'As expected… The strength of an Initial Mage is truly extraordinary.' Athen thought, couldn't help but feel surprised.

Another side of him, he felt amazed by his mother's strength.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the talent to cast spells of that level.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to become a Warrior.

"Thank You..."

"Never mind, you've done what you should do." indeed, my mother, she was very proud of her eldest son.

Had he not had such high talent, they would have been able to live together.

However, because fate said otherwise.

There was nothing she could do, apart from hope for the future of her eldest son.

After all, sooner or later they will part ways.

Plus, they will be apart for a very long time.

Or, maybe will never see each other again.

Therefore, this farewell reunion must be filled with happiness.

Well, even though their expected reunion had been completely ruined completely.

Their youngest son, he couldn't accept it at all.

Still, this was all within their reach.

Before they got the letter from the duke, they had predicted this would happen.

Until, the moment they feared had begun.

"Athen, go see your little brother. Try to talk to him."

Indeed, as a mother, she could not allow her youngest son to experience depression.

Otherwise, something bad will happen to him.

"I understand, leave everything to me, mother." without further ado, my brother, he started to walk away.

Before he left, he slightly turned towards father.

His appearance, it was filled with sadness.

The reason, it was because he knew that father was the one who suffered the most.

Moreover, with the position he had, it made him feel even more pressured.

'Dad, I hope you can calm your emotions.'
