Section 18 Disclosure

From Alex's perspective ....

I opened my eyes with difficulty

To my surprise, Mak's hand was tied and I was leaning against a tree

What tree!? How is it possible that I should be in the capital right now!

I quickly tried to get up when I could and instead I turned around

..So you finally woke up!

I raised my head with difficulty and it was Ziar!

What Ziar was doing here, didn't he leave at all? Why Is it impossible? Where Is he here?

Ziar bent down and made me lean against the tree and sat down in front of me

Ziar: Well, to be honest, I saved you and your father from death

What?

...I mean, with the information I got, I understood what deal your father actually made with the court and the church

? How did anyone know?

...I understand from your look, I understood by reading your mind

I mean, one doesn't know if he's close to Ziyar, if he Is, all his thoughts were not his own

... So now you're saying how I saved your father, as you know, in the Arshid family, there's a tradition that the next executioner of the family must kill his father or one of his relatives so that he can start his work

Now, you're not close to your father so that you can start your work by killing him, and your father won't be executed right now

Well, the church is confused now and will definitely look for you, and on the other hand, the court, which was counting on you to be the next executioner, will have all its plans ruined by your disappearance, and so they're looking for your father's return, and this means the beginning of the conflict, and what does it mean, your father's death will be postponed for now, and until then, we'll do something

I was really speechless. All of these things happening in a week, the destruction of the church, Ara's death, the rape of his mother, my torture, my father's disappearance and his discovery, the confession of me as a bastard son of Arshid, and the fact that I would testify against my father and become the next executioner of the Arshid family, at less than ten years old, and now that he has escaped here with Ziar, would have made me just keep quiet and not say anything until we see what happens in the future.

Ziyar: Well, you have no right to speak, anyone in your position at this age would not have any right to speak with all these things. Right now, we are in the Araz forest and I plan to take you somewhere to save my life. Wherever we go, you must be quiet and not say a single word. Do you understand?

And he put some clothes like my previous clothes with a mask in front of me to wear

... Also, I'm not like your father, I just tied you with a rope so you wouldn't run away

.. Well, I'm not like you to run away, you didn't need to tie me with a rope

....

After about two hours, we reached a place

We passed through the Araz Kamel forest and at first I thought we were going to wander around, but to my surprise

We went to a house or maybe a bar where everyone was laughing

... Look, I emphasize to you, you won't say a single word. Wherever I follow you, you have to follow me, you understand

And then he entered

And I understood why he said don't talk. The place we had gone was a bar of savages and if they found out that two humans were going there, then we won't see the light of tomorrow.

Ziyar: Well, this thing deceived me and pointed out to me

What happened, what happened, where am I

Karen?!

... This guy, who is a human, forced me, that is, he paid me to chase you and eventually kill you.

Karen: So you and that raised his sword to...

Ziyar laughed

Ziyar: You are still as quick to deceive as before Karen, this poor thing has no role, me too Ziyar

Karen: Well, I

Who was bored

.. What can I tell you? After disappearing for several years, you were found, you chase me, then deceive me. What kind of person are you? What were you created for?

Ziyar+ Continuing your conversation, I don't know why I was created at all. I was surprised by my disappearance and appearance. I said to myself, didn't I disappear, why did I suddenly appear?

He laughed again.

Karen: Don't laugh at me. I don't know why you came, I just know that before I kill you, either you or I have to leave here.

And he went and mounted his horse.

Ziar: I was joking, Karen, Karen!

He wanted to go without paying attention to us.

... Karen, don't do anything important to you. This boy, who is Antonina Arshide's son with me

The woman stopped in surprise and turned around.

Karen: What did you say?

...As I said, this little boy Is Antonina Arshide's son, the executioner. A lot has happened to him and his business, Shah, in this time. I have to explain everything.

And he gestured for me to take off my hat and mask.

Now, all of us, Ziar and Karen, were sitting around a fire that we had made a few minutes ago, and Karen was waiting for Ziar's explanation.

... Well, I don't know where to start, as you know, after those events between us, we all suffered the same fate, and so I was imprisoned, Antonina was also the executioner, the prison commander Sam was the king, and you were a mercenary.

Karen: Are you trying to tell me what happened or a summary of life?

... I was saying that I was also a fugitive for these few years, and I was finally caught, but this time by the church and my interrogator, someone worse than Antonia, who is a real racist and believes that anyone without magic is a subject and an enemy of the church should be executed. I was imprisoned in a mountain with the cooperation of the savages because of my beliefs, until Antonina rescued me to get a confession from a person who was also involved in the church and Gersh Russell.

It was because of this that Gersh Russell made a vow against Antonina, but a big bloody vow that destroyed the village of Nikolai!

And unfortunately, Antonina was arrested and her work was also lost!

Karen was obviously very upset upon hearing this news, that my father was arrested and her work was killed, and she left her seat and went

... You sit here, I'll come right away

And I was left with only one thought: what will happen to my future?

From Karen's perspective...

I didn't expect to come back after a difficult mission and find out who he was on the way back with a quest! And Antonia's son! Two of my best friends!

I expected him to make a stupid request as usual, but Antonina's capture and worse than that death! The one who...

... I was talking when you left!

.. What, what do you want now? Don't you see how I feel?

... Because I see and know how much you have suffered and suffered until now, not only in that group that was supposed to change the world, the fate of the whole world, he can't even change his loved ones, even his own fate, but...

.. But what?

... Now the fate of all of us Is in the boy's hands. He can now do everything we wanted to do.

.. Is it over? Everything? He was just one person, we were a group, all the great ones, against the power of those power-hungry old men, there was nothing we could do, what will happen to this boy?

... You're right, but maybe we can do it by training her. Look, as I said yourself, unfortunately, and now she's sentenced to death

?!

... Yeah, you didn't tell me to continue. In a stupid story, Antonina was sentenced to hire some savages to disrupt the national celebration and destroy and kill Nikolai's people, and stupid people who completely believed this story because of their long-standing hatred.

.. Why are you talking nonsense?

... Yes, she is and now Antonia is in prison and I said that a person named Gersh Russell is in charge of this case who is counting the minutes to kill Antonia, but fortunately there is a way to save her.

.. What?

... Well, as you know, in the Arshid family, the next executioner must kill one of his loved ones to start his work, and Alex has no one but his father, so he must kill only his father.

And now his son is gone and there is no one to do it. From there, he looks for Alex and me in the church, and this causes the court, which was hoping to replace Alex with his father, to try to save Antonina, and well, this is a chance to save her!

What does it mean that Alex killed his father, that Idris and Sam easily let Antonina go?

... As I said, Antonia was sentenced to death and did the court have any alternative other than Antonia? No, it was her son who continued his father's path, but from here on, the church showed interest In Alex.

.. Why are you talking nonsense? Aren't you saying that Gersh Russell hates the existence of the Archid family, how can he let an Archid Alex live?

... Because of the characteristics of the Archid family, loyalty, strange desire and madness to kill a genius to get a confession without feeling or I'll say it again.

Let me tell you the whole story, I want you to save Alex from this situation, educate him, train him, teach him the way of life, live a hard life like you, like savages. If you don't want to, his job Is done.

He Is an executioner like his father who only wants to kill and in the end he will be sentenced to death.

.. Why are you talking nonsense? Why should I train him? He is my mercenary. Why do you...

... Because I am a fugitive! No matter how much he tries to escape, he will eventually be caught. What can I teach him without magic? Well, think for yourself: endurance, resistance, fighting strength, savagery, human intelligence! What a strong person he will make.

If you want Antonina to be saved, if her deed is avenged, then no one will be like you or me, no one will have a failed love like you, and everyone will be saved. It depends only on you.

If not, I will take her and she will be under the supervision of a court and an executioner like her father. And if you accept, her complete authority will be given to you like a servant, because now Antonina has no one but you and me.

Think well

For Antonina's sake

I will avenge her deed myself, for Sam and Idris, for the rest.

Protect him, educate him, teach him the right way of life, so that he will not be just an executioner's son, but a true grand deacon, a politician like Idris, a loyalist like his father, and most importantly, a true warrior and an honorable man like you.

I don't know what to do from here. He was right. He could have great potential. But if he's with me, he's In danger. All these mercenary missions put your life in danger. But even if I don't do anything, a mortal is always in danger. As Ziar said, he could die at any moment. He's wanted. But on the one hand, I really owed Antoine. He had saved my life many times. And I was waiting for a chance to thank him. And I also wanted to make sure that no one else would suffer like us. All this made me hesitate. But the death sentence for Antoine and his son, who, like his father, had the same fate as us, made me think of only one thing. Yes! But there's one condition.. I want complete authority under any circumstances, whatever I say, he must do it and not even a man can tell me anything

... That was it, he completely agreed. From now on, you are his protector, the master of the family and his friend.

From now on, he will no longer be the son of an executioner, but a vengeful son who will be feared by all.

Because you are his master, his father Antonia! The fighting power of the savages and the high intelligence of the Arshid family. Now all this will be possible through you and him.

....

....From Alex's point of view ....

I don't know how long it's been but after a long wait Ziar and Karen came

Ziar… Hurry up, you want to go!

..Where are you going so suddenly? Where are you going, I'm alone!?

...Karen's house! It's not sudden because this was my plan from the beginning. From now on, you're with Karen and under her supervision and I have to leave here quickly because I have very important things to do.

..Huh? I'm under Karen's supervision, savage? Why under ...

When Karen came towards me, I was interrupted.

Karen + Look, boy, or should I say Alex, you're under my complete supervision, whether you like it or not, that means you're savage and you'll do whatever I say and nothing else. Now either go to my horse or I'll take you by force!?

..What do you mean you planned it like I was important to you at all? Why does everyone just want to use me?

Karen – Listen to what I'm telling you, you have two choices: either listen to me and come with me, or let Ziar take you and go back to Rojnar and get a good deal by giving you to the church and be forgiven. As you said, he's using you to his advantage.

And then with a stupid smile he walked to his horse.

I looked at Ziar, who was somehow ashamed and regretful.

But his shame and the others' was of no use to me.

What was I supposed to do? If I hadn't listened to the woman, I would have been arrested by the church tomorrow and this time, unlike the first time, I would definitely be executed. I also escaped without permission. And I'm sure they would have understood something of that aura and my work Is done.

From now on, I must be under the supervision of a savage. They were the ones who caused my father and me misery. Until now, there have been people who only thought about war and nothing else.

But this woman was one of my father's close friends, and my father was not friends with this woman.

It was a difficult choice. Sure, both were bad and both led to death, but I had to do one thing:

If I went back to the capital, all of Gersh Russell's people, that old torturer, and even the Pope himself would be afraid of me. I would not go there and die under their watch.

No, I would not let them win this time and defeat Arshid.

Because I was the son of the executioner Alex Arshid.

And I walked with great difficulty towards Karen, as if she had been waiting for me.

And Ziari said only one thing:

I would return.

And now I was in Karen's house, a house in the middle of nowhere, the only good thing about it was that it was near the main road.

And now I was lying on the ground.

And I was waiting for tomorrow, not knowing what would happen. I was sure of only one thing...

When I woke up tomorrow, I would go to prison with my father, watch death and listen to this woman's orders.

(What a rhyme)

....

Last night I was having a hard time sleeping and after a long time of torture and insomnia I had a very good dream.

When....

Poo, ha ha

A bucket of ice water was emptied into my room.

And it made me wake up and I saw Karen above me who just after I woke up threw a dress at me.

Karen: Get ready quickly and come out because from now on you will turn into a humanoid savage under my watch.
