Part 29 Who am I?

Part 29 Who am I?

...from Mark's perspective...

Damn her, damn her

That woman, my mother, is going to kill us all.

She trusted two strangers, especially a pervert who thinks he's a savage and wants them to save us, from that ridiculous idea of running away that got my father killed.

She went and hired a mercenary without telling me or my sister, and now she was in debt. Why did I tell the truth to people I'd known since childhood and everyone knew her?

(Note; Mark is 13 and Leila Is 8)

Because to her, I was a child, so my opinion didn't matter? I'm going to prove my innocence to those two strangers.

I quickly got to my usual place and to the teacher.

Teacher, I meant an old man who was drowning in a swamp 6 months ago. I saved him and I found out that he knew military techniques and was going to teach me military techniques. Instead, I brought him food and water every day. I wanted to prove that I was a rabbit and weak, but if I wanted to, I could even become the greatest military commander in the world and even defeat those two mercenaries and save my sister and mother from them.

I had learned a few things from him.

I arrived at my usual place in the middle of the forest, but there was no sign of the master.

Strange! Why not? He must have always leaned on that bamboo staff of his that...

Before I came to myself, I was lying on the ground with the master's staff facing me.

Master: I have told you a hundred times, always be aware of your surroundings. The enemy is not interested in you. He attacks from the front. He attacks from the back.

.. Oh yes, master, you are right. I don't know why I always forget.

Master: Because you are a creature of the air. Now, get up quickly so we can start training. And I moved and looked at the master, who was an old man with a beard that reached his neck, wearing a cloak, white but discerning eyes, and a stick in his hand.

.....

Oh my God

I leaned against the tree next to the teacher. The practice was over and I was done for the day.

If it were like usual, I would sleep and rest after practice, but the thought of those two strangers and the wild humans didn't distract me.

Teacher: What are you thinking, are you worried? Your appearance shows It.

.. No, no, it's nothing.

Teacher: After 6 months, I still don't know my own student, so you're not my student yet, so explain properly.

.. Well...

Since my mother had once again ignored me and trusted two strangers, I decided to tell everything to the teacher, who was actually a stranger.

Teacher: It's a strange story. Let me tell you the truth.

.. Yes, please.

Teacher: Your enemies will always trust your enemies, not you, but your friends will trust you, not your enemies.

.. Oh!

Teacher: So, trusting them won't make you happy.

.. What?

Teacher: Look, look, you, sir, let it go.

.. What do I have to give up?

Teacher: I feel sorry for you anyway.

.. For what? For who?

Which I understood when it hit me.

Teacher: Look, fool, until you gain their trust, you won't understand their real purpose. Fool, you have to gain their trust. And when you do, you will tell me their real intention.

And we will solve it together. Do you understand?

.. Oh, I understand.

Teacher: Explain it once.

I preferred a quick escape to a date and decided to actually do it so I could explain and be punished.

.... From Alex Arshid's perspective...

I woke up and started my strength training as usual.

We were supposed to go tomorrow, but for various reasons it was canceled and postponed to the next day.

Karen didn't say anything, but I'm sure something was going on behind the scenes.

I went out and started swimming.

I was in the hundredth position when I saw Mark looking at me.

I ignored him and continued swimming, when he started talking on his own.

Mark: Let's see if you know anything else besides training.

I ignored his stupid sentence that he repeated twice and continued.

.. Yes, I know, but I don't see any reason to tell you.

Mark: What's the matter? Do you know how to fight or just build muscle?

I finished swimming and went to put rocks on my body when I remembered that Karen was asleep, so I ignored him and went to practice breathing and exhaling.

He was talking nonsense and I had to answer him.

. .. Look, my son, I am a master of fighting and if necessary, I will definitely fight, because the honor of a savage is to fight, but you are too small for me to fight.

Mark: Am I small? You are a coward who is afraid to fight me.

My nerves were weakening and I was about to attack him when Karen came to his aid.

Karen+ Hey, gentlemen, wake up, how early you woke up. Now I want to please you with good news.

Today there are three of you, that is, with Leila and the two of you, you will explore the village once again.

..What? You know how much this boy hates me, now he called me a coward who is afraid to fight, and you know how insulting that Is for a savage.

Mark: It was a joke and I would definitely welcome you and my sister to visit the village.

.. But I am not welcoming you.

.. Mr. Alex Arshid.

.. My God.

I turned around and saw Karen narrowing her eyes and looking at me with a smile.

Karen: Either you go to the village yourself or Mr. Alex Arshid, I will go to you another way.

I swallowed my saliva in fear.

.. My God. Tell Leila, we are coming now. We are leaving.

I am here.

.. My God! What was that?

I turned around and saw Leila, eager.

And Mark, looking at me with a smirk, as if he understood what your fear was.

Well, I was right. When your parents call you by your name and surname, it means they understand all the sins you have committed and not committed, and this is tantamount to death.

I was walking with Lily and Mark and Lily kept saying that it was the best day of her life, walking through the village with her best friend and brother.

I wish I looked at life like Lily.

We were walking forward when suddenly Lily and Mark both stopped.

What, why did you stop? I looked at the girl in front of me who was waving.

Lily + brother, don't you want to say your usual thing to Lauren?

We're leaving the village tomorrow, huh?

Mark – What, what, no, I mean yeah, I don't know.

Lily+ But I know and started pushing Mark towards the girl

And Mark went towards the girl with great resistance

.. What did he want to confess

Lily+ His interest and love for Lauren, the village chief's daughter

.. Heh, so It'll be Interesting to see what he does

He came back a few minutes later, but with a worried and defeated look

Lily+ What happened, brother, did he accept?

Mark- What? Alex Is dealing with you

.. Me!?

Mark- Yes, look what you're doing

I went towards the girl who was looking at me with interest.

Girl: Hello

.. Yes

Girl: Well, I told Mark, I

.. Tell me your story quickly

Girl, no, I can't just say It like that without any introduction...

I was about to turn around when he quickly said

I fell in love with you

I turned towards him

.. You fell In love with me

Girl: Yes, yes

.. How?

Girl: At first glance, how attractive and powerful you are

.. Interesting, and what did Mark say

That made his face turn red

Girl: Yes, he said he was interested in me, but where are you, where are you, so attractive and powerful

I started laughing

.. Interesting, that's It, as long as people like you think about looks, power, wealth, there will be no true love like Mark. I bet you've said the same thing to many other boys like me and slept with them.

Girl: What are you saying? I'm ready to prove my decency.

.. A girl's decency Is so valuable that there's no need to prove it to people like me. If you were really decency, you wouldn't say such a thing. Get out of my sight right now and never be seen again. In front of my eyes, the consequences will be yours.

I turned to Mark and the ever-eager Lily.

What did Lily say? Did she accept?

I looked at Mark in defeat.

.. No, he just said some nonsense that was worthy of him, which I answered and dismissed.

I saw how much Mark's face flushed.

.. Well, let It go Lily, come on, herI put my hand on Mark's shoulder

, Don't be sad, girls like this don't have regrets, they are not pure, wait and you will find true love, someone who cancels or mocks love because of others' power and appearance, doesn't deserve eternal love and has no right to impose love at first sight or eternal love on their own whims.

Mark: I know, but

, but you don't have to think about your mother's sister now, in the future I will find a true love who has 100% true decency.

When Lily came back, I left her and continued searching

After it got light, we went to the middle of the forest and Lily was playing In front of us.

I say, Mark

She didn't answer and I started talking.

You know who I am, I am someone like your sister because I understand your sister. Since childhood, because of my ancestors and my father who was an executioner, I had to hide so that people wouldn't find out and kill me.

That's why I lost my father and Karen took care of me.

I also looked at Karen the way you look at your mother, but she raised me, trained me and taught me the meaning of real life, so I understand how you feel about your sister.

You know I shouldn't tell you these things because the mission is over and you won't see me again and you might tell others, but I wanted to tell you that you should look after your loved ones a lot, which is not the case.

Mark: I, I lost my father and then I became the head of the family. When my mother didn't tell me anything and you hired me, I felt hostility towards you. What is your real intention?

To save you because you deserve it.

He was about to say something when he fell silent.

I turned around and saw a wolf.

Mark quickly picked up your sister and left.

Mark+ But what about you?

, I say take It and go

Arrow

I drew my sword and attacked the wolf

The wolf dodged and attacked Lily and Mark who had taken refuge In the tree out of fear

I picked up the wolf's blades and threw them at him and when I fell I stuck my sword in them.

They were both crying loudly

- Well, let's go back home

And no one said anything until the end of the night
