Chapter 8- it's me, you're not looking on a mirror

Klaus

The soldiers are all aligned outside and my sword is stuck up the ceiling, how did it get up there... As far as I remember I was reading and reminiscing on my past the same time, I better get rid of all this negative thoughts before it makes my surrounding a disaster, I can't help but try to be humble on every little thing to avoid materials from cracking or getting thrown out by itself.... A year is never enough to train my power thus it's getting powerful and annoying at the same time, I may control materials the way I want but the way my mana flow through my body is not balanced, one second I'm good at controling everything and the next second they all fall down and when I get mad windows or walls crack

"Get down sword!!" I stared at it by pulling it with gravity, it came to me really fast that I had to run away from it and landing on the vase

"You better fix that vase before your grandma sees it!!" I didn't notice Mrs Evelyn on the door holding a clothes for me followed by the butler sir Antler

"Sorry, I'll fix it!!" I said kneeling down and starring at the peices coming up and get attached together

"You'll be sending off the soldiers at the town border before you and your grandpa go to shore and meet your father- you aware of that young master!!" Butler Antler said fixing the clothes on my bed

"I am sir?"

"Good, We also fixed your luggage cos it will follow you along when you depart to the capital, you might also use the fairy ship to travel faster!!" He continued before pulling out a pair of my shoes and polishing them, Evelyn beside him is busy opening the windows and fixing papers on my table

"How about you? You're coming right?" I looked back with a vase on my hands

"Well, maybe I will come in the future after I do all my duties here young master!!" I filled the vase with a soil getting all my hands dirty and shoving the flower like an arrow

"Would you mind if I could do that, the flower is dying, plant it properly!!" He said before taking the vase away from me

"I'll go prepare!!"

"Hmm go!!"

I always liked butler Antler, he's always kind to me even if I made his life miserable when I came here, it's been almost a year since I came back from the past but two years for my oresent self at 17, I was supposed to ve back last year and no one seem to care that I am here, I never went to the capital thus ignored my step mother's letter on coming back home, as for the people she's planted here, their heads are all threatened, we have the lady's daughter in our care and she goes back to behave at the capital and act, grandma casted a spell on her toungue not to spill a word or else his daughter will be poisoned, grandma Avelyn is a spell master thus it's her ability, that's why she is also one of the toppers lawyer working under the palace's care, grandma threatened her that if she speaks a thing at the capital all her family's will die in her hand, she's also the person who delivers message to what is going on to the capital

I sigh and got up to get dressed, but before I could put my shirt on, I stared at myself with a rather pleasing look of humble desperation

This bathroom has full body mirror and I can't help but stare at myself, wet jet black hair and amber eyes, my skinny body back then, that even I could see my ribs became massive when I trained, I endured all the training and workload everyday, and the result came like a big blessing in my hands, as for my eyes I never saw someone with an eyes like mine, some can have amber but not as light as mine, Doc said it's my power that keeps my eyes light that even in the dark it glows, one time Morgan came to me at night with a maid they were running back out telling me a yellow eyed monster was inside my room, Doc Hedley had a nice laugh hearing that story

We set off to the road till we reached a ship for the soldiers to board, it was a fine morning hearing speeches and me on the corner on a wide hood to hide my face away from the crowd, I never let anyone see me for they always recognize me as my dad, dad already have grey hair and emerald eyes, but I heard he's been using a hair product to keep his hair dark, no wonder.

"Your dad is here among the crowd!!" I heard a whisper from my grandpa who stepped towards me slowly

"What! How come? I thought we'll meet him in the afternoon!!"

"He couldn't wait!!" He chuckled

A letter formed in origami bird flew on my palms, it's his comrade's ability, when I opened it, it had a room number where I'll go

*Come here

I walked along with Gavin and entered a hotel where we could see the soldiers up the hotel room

"Gavin, wait here?" I said and went up on my feet

In the near future they'll all be using elevator to modernize these hotels and keep everyone from complaining

Room 99, the last private room, for my dad it's only been a while since we didn't see each other, but for me it feels like a decade, I never hoped to see him but I did long to see him in my past

*Knock knock

I didn't hear a thing inside but waited patiently, it was a minute or two before I knocked one more time and heard footsteps coming near my pace

*Sigh

I am supposed to be angry and mad everytime I see him but right now I am very emotional as if I wanna break the door and cry out to his arms, I've been imagining myself storming in like a kid and crying in his arms but in reality its embarrassing to do so

The golden knob shaped like lion design turned and the creeking sound of the old door sang, revealing a man as tall I am, he looked confused and widened the door, despite being on his near 40s he look solemnly young and handsome, it was like looking at a mirror but his eyes are emerald green that makes you think you see the forest upon staring at his eyes

"Y-you are?" He said trying to confirm

"I have come father!" I said feeling out of breath as I beckon my eyes up and down to seize his appearance which I have been longing for so many years

"How-" he said cutting up his sentence, his brain might still be processing so I pushed him inside so I could remove my hood and reveal myself better

"My goodness, look at you grow so tall- but how.... Klaus!!" I looked back frowning like a little kid with my hands tucked together infront of me, I only lift up my golden eyes to him despite the same height as he is

"A doctor father- I found a different doctor, he's a magician who likes to study people and he happen to be interested in my case, thus been curing me for over a year!!" I said

"Oh my goodness- Yes! what a blessing to see you in such a state, tell me love, I'll reward him?" He said, hearing him say the same word he use to tell me makes me want to let go of the barrier on my eyes and let the dam flow, but my pride wants to win

"His name is Doctor Hedley, a asmall county magician who likes to study and has a herb land father!!" I answered him, he gave a nod before coming to me and hugged me tight

I didn't do anything but let myself be buried in his arms, the father who cared for me even if my mother wasn't the person who he ever loved, I found myself hugging him back remembering how he hugs me when I was just a small little peony

A tear flowed down my cheeks luckily I was controling his clothe and washed it away from my eyes

After we parted he stared at me and smiled

"After all this years I am seeing Vivian's eyes again but yours are pure and golden!!" He said with a confused look on his face

"Did my mother's eyes glow like mine dad?" I asked

"No- I heard the news from my father but I never witness your mother's eyes glow like you, all I know is that your mom is a fire repelant noble and has the ability to heal!!" He said sitting down

"Oh- its alright, it's good to hear mother's name from you?" I said

"The time I fell inlove with her is also the time she was taken away from me, it wasn't fair but you are here and it makes me happy!!" He said out of the blue with his teeth shown with happiness, my head turned toward him with a surprised look

"You did!!" He frowned before looking back at me

"I always told you how beautiful your mother is, her pretty eyes which made me feel rich and how he would always blabber your name when you come out to this world, but you always ignore me!!" I cried for the first time, he saw me infront of him holding the cup with both of my hands and tears rolling down my face

"Klaus!!"

"I'm sorry dad- Im sorry!! I was longing for a love I can never gain from my step-mother thus were angry with my biological mother for leaving me early!" He got up and hugged me

"All is well Klaus, I am here to love you, if only you could also forgive all my wrong for leaving you alone inside a cold castle and be with you to let you feel all my care!" He said

I grabbed a hold of him and let all the tears on my eyes stain his plain shirt
