Sparkly Eyes

3 years ago.

In Kale's little home.

Louisa is crying with anger in her eyes. She had blame Kale for wanting to take the apple for his sister. "You!" *Sniff* "You should have not done it? See? Where is anton now? He's in hospital? What can we even pay? No matter what, we don't have money!" Louisa angrily said to Kale.

Kale who were shocked also is blaming himself. 'I shouldn't have requested for that.. This should have not happened'. Ciline who is with Kale this time protected his brother.

"No! Don't hurt my brother!" Ciline said but Louisa is out of it and want to burst out of anger. The father figure they have, the hope of them all, the only reliable person they know, is now in pain because of a request.

"I- I'm sorry" Kale said with a shaky voice. From this day onward something change on Kale's soul and mind. He doesn't want to be easily persuaded by others. He didn't even want to get what he wants now. He completely want to isolate himself for the possible danger and so he always double his awareness when his going to steal some food.

Back in the present.

"L- Louisa?" Kale stared at her with saddened eyes. Louisa look at him, and smile warmly and said "Kale.. you don't have to keep bearing that..". Ciline reach out her hand to Kale and she embraced him.

"Ci- Ciline?", "It's ok brother.. you don't have to feel that again" Ciline said. 'I should have stay away like I thought. But here I am standing in front of him.. even though I know how much he feel everytime he sees me' Louisa thought so as he look at Kales worried face.

"It's fine Ciline.. I'll go first now" Louisa said as he go to her room. Kale couldn't even speak a single word in front of her, he always remember the time where that time happened. "Brother.. calm down.." Ciline calm her brother, Kale look at her and noticed her clothes got mud now.

"Ah! Mud! Ciline your clothes got mud" Kale said as he remembered that he comes out from training just now. "Hehe.. I think I have to change clothes now.." Ciline said as he run towards her room following where Louisa is heading towards.

"That must be where girls room at.. then where's the bath?" Kale said as he searched around the orphanage. He manage to find it with the help of a nun that is taking her turn on patrolling around the orphanage.

'Now that I think about it.. I never had seen her since a year and a half ago.. did she got into the orphanage that time' Kale thought as he tries to guess things in his head. He closed his eyes and suddenly..

"It's your fault!"

"He wouldn't have done that if it's not because of you"

"You harm him"

"Where is he now?"

Memories from the past come rushing into his head. He snap out of it and look around. 'Hah.. does that become my nightmare?' Kale thought as he washed himself.

In the rest of the night Kale rested as he find his assigned room where other children is sleeping already and just snuck in and sleep, with the help of a nun. In the morning Kale was woken up by the noises around him.

"Who is he?"

"How did he get here?"

"Whoa.. a blue hair"

Once he open his eyes he sees the kids beside his bed and immediately got up. "What are you doing here?" Kale ask and a kid answered "Uh.. we should be asking that..". Kale clench his eyes and sees all the 5 children around him.

"Hello.. I'm Polo" the kid with brown eyes and blown eyes said, or should I say everyone of them had brown hair and brown eyes. They all introduce themselves to Kale.

"I'm Josh"

"I'm Eric"

"I'm Inro"

"I'm Clien"

They all looked at Kale and Kale answered "I'm Kale". All the children is surprised not by the name but by the color of the hair of Kale. In the continent of Relagan, commoners almost have identical features but people like nobles have distinct feature from commoners, for example the color of your hair and eyes.

All children stare at Kale in amusement. Suddenly their door opened and a man come in inside. "Hey kid you done sleeping? Now get up and we will have another training" Eleon said as he entered the room. He is not wearing his fancy armor but he's still wearing an armor and the same cloak.

The Polo eventually recognized the symbol on the cloak and said "Whoa a Holy Knight!!!", all the children got surprised and Clien said "Hey you idiot kneel he's a holy knight!!!". They all kneel and Eleon said "Come one children you don't really have to do that".

The children watch in amusement as Kale leave with Eleon on the door. "Whoa the holy knight train Kale?" Polo asked, "Hm.. it seems like it" Clien answered. The children who just saw a Holy Knight for the first time is really amazed and also have a lot of qeustion.

To their knowledge, from the class they take from the church. Holy Knight's will only be dispatch if the church is endanger or threatened. That's why they can't understand why the Holy Knight is here in the Church of Ahlham.

In the center of Alham. The Mansion of Pulen Family, Fasiniscio.

"Hm.. the guards is doing well right? Any movements from the south?" The man dressed in red with a lot of said. "Yes, the guards and sentry did not see any movement from the south and still watching if anything happens" the man dressed in black said as he poured the cup with wine.

"Those bastards dare to invade my town? My kingdom? How dare they!!! They will pay for those actions!" The man dressed in red said after he drink the wine. "Yes, milord. They will pay the price" The man dressed in black added.

"Ha! The Pulen Family will last forever!!!"
