Chapter 20: The feelings.

"BROTHER WAKE UP!!" Hinata pull Free's blanket from the bed she was now 6 years old, taller and a bit short-tempered. Free pulled too and wrap himself around it.

"Atleast let me sleep on rest day....." Free yawned and close the window of his room but Hinata vein pop. she, with full force yanked the blanket off the bed along with Free. "Ouch...."

Outside his room Free hair were messy, he rub his head with his left hand Hinata walk outside the house to gave water to plants and Free goes to the dining table, where breakfast was already served, Philip had gone to his duty, Lina was already washing the plates.

Free enters the dining table and ate the breakfast quietly, when suddenly a hand grab his shoulder from behind and he choked on the bread and quickly drank the cup of water from the table. He look behind it was Hina her left hand behind her back, she was looking a bit too happy.

"Free do you have something to say" she asked, looking at Free who was still coughing.

"what?" Free asked, coughing softly turning back to her.

"Well you have been going out with Sylvia a lot so i thoughy you two had...y'know" She grin and sat on the chair beside her, her hand still behind her back.

"It's not what you think it is" Free said, taking a bite from the bread and drinking his soup.

"Ohh really, then what is this" she take her left hand out and it has a letter, a pink one with a flower strapped in it and a scent of white blooms, Free look at it unfazed. "what?" she muttered.

"That isn't my letter" He calmy said, taking another bite then looking at the letter. "It's Grok's" he said, flatly.

"What?" Hina tone changed she stand up from her chair and slammed her fist in the table the soup fly and fall back on the table. "You're telling me that kid is going after the girl he bullied before" she said, her voice deadly scary.

"Yeah. Well it's understandable Sylvia is the most beautiful girl in village now" He finish his food and stand up and goes to the kitchen and give the plate, bowl and cup to Lina to wash it.

"Hey! Get back here" Hina said, but she followed Free to the kitchen and Lina turn to both of them.

"What happen, i heard some really dangerous voice at the dining table" she calmly said, turning to Hina and Hina cleared her throat with a dranatic cough.

"Look at this Lina" She said, then she showed her the letter Free tried to escape but Hina caught him by the clothes.

"A love letter.....to Sylvia, have young master finally made his moves" She said, reading the letter with a slight smile but it quickly faded. "This handwriting is messy. It's not young master's" she glance toward Free.

"It's Grok's" He said and Lina throw the letter in fire. Free just stare at the burning lette. He didn't dare question it.

"Why would he give you this?" she asked, while starting to wash the plates again.

"I had plenty in my rooms" Free said deadpanned and Hina eyebrows twitch.

"Why would they do that?" Lina said, not looking toward Free.

"Because i'm closest to her" he said, while Hina grip was still tight in his clothes.

"And they didn't think she is in love with you" Hina said, trying to be calm.

"What?" Free said, looking at both of them."she never said that" he said.

And Hina in anger throw him out of the kitchen, suddenly the door outside the kitchen opened and Free crash with it, face first.

"Ouch!" he said, looking at the door and Elina came out from it with wet clothes in hand, she wore maid outfit like Lina's, she was getting trained to serve in the family by Lina.

"Brother are you okay" she said, giving him a hand to get up.

"Yes i am fine" He said, taking her hand gently.

"I'm going out" he said, touching his sore nose.

"DON'T ACCEPT ANY MORE LETTER FROM OTHERS!!!" hina voice came from the kitchen and Free just turn to the kitchen, sighs and goes upstair to take the spell book and...

Upstair he changed his outfit to a blue coat he specially design for combat, Flexible, fireproof and a temperature spell he installed for comfortability, he wore it and went outside with his spell book in hand.

Outside a blacksmith wave it's hand to him, a woman greeted to him and Free politely bow with a smile until he reached the adventurers guild, he enters ansld many adventurers turn to him and wave their hand, he did look at them, wave back and walk straight to the reception desk.

"I would like to register" he said, giving the receptionist 2 silver coins.

"Only those above 13 are allowed to register" the receptionist said, she took a registration certificate. "do you know how to write" she asked, some adventurers laugh at the receptionist.

"She didn't know that kid" one said, he laugh his shield tremble on the desk.

"Yeah, as expected of a newly transferred one" another said, trying not to laugh.

"Do they know you kid" The receptionist said, looking at the adventurers laughing at her.

"Yes, i sometimes heal them when they are injured" he said, filling the registration form the name, age and class.

"Your handwriting is quite good" the receptionost said, impressed at the elegant handwriting. "are you some kind of noble or something"

"Do i look like one" he said, grinning faintly.

"You do!" everyone in the guild said and Free tilt his head a bit unsurprise.

The receptionist laugh and gave Free a F rank card. "my name is Kara by the way, what's yours?" she asked.

"Free" he said, Kara tilt her head a bit confused.

"That's quite the name. You should be careful on markets" she said, before Free turn and walks to the quest board.

Outside he walk with a quest of collecting some slime cores. "I should be careful it doesn't explode" He muttered to himself then Sylvia called out from behind.

"Free!" She said, walking toward him with a basket of bread, she looked at his clothes. "Are you going to a party?" she asked, looking at the clothes.

"i just registered as a adventurer" he said.

"Good for you" she said, cheeks slightly pink. "Can i go too" she asked.

"Sure" Free said and both walked to the forest, free glance at the basket of bread she was holding. "won't Sylphia be mad" he said.

"She won't" Sylvia walked she look straight at the path stealing glances at Free. "Mom asked me to buy bread when i come back"

Both walked to the forest to kill slimes and collecf slime cores, while at the village meeting something else was going on. Philip slammed his fist on the meeting table.

"You can't just do that!!" Philip yelled, frustration visible he look at the elders then at Hemire.

"Philip please understand it, Free is the best for it" Rael said, a bit scared.

Random minutes ago...

"So why did chief call me" Philip said, sitting on a chair with Rael and two more elders of the village and Hemire infront of them.

"We need to talk about the future of the village" Hemire said, he cough on his hand but his eye didn't left Philip.

"And..." Philip said, there was a silence a deafening silence then a elder spoke.

"We have decided that your son will be the new chief" elder Shin said, calm and composed.

Philip Froze he then look at Rael and she nodded, then he look at Hemire and Hemire too didn't say anything.

"Is this a joke?" he said, no one spoke. "I SAID IS. THIS. A. JOKE!!" Philip yelled, Rael flinch and the table trembled.

"No it isn't" Hemire calmly said, he look at Philip and Philip slammed his fist on the meeting table.

"you can't just do that" Philip yelled, frustration visible on his face, he look at the elders then at Hemire.

"Philip understand it, Free is the best for it" Rael said, a bit scared.

"What made you think that!" Philip turn to her.

"He is wise and smarter than everyone in the village, he know about noble politics, wiser than his age, strong and calm, he is most suitable for the future of the biggest village in Daelon" Shin said, and he cough in his hand, Philip turn to him.

"But he is 13!" Philip said, he sat back on the table and grip the table hard.

"And he is a half noble blood" Shin said, and Philip grip the table tighter and gritted his teeth.

"Free is a half noble blood but he himself doesn't know that. He is 13 and is still too young, so we'll wait for him to matture two more years" Hemire said, his hand was on his chin, he brushed his white beard with his hand.

"I will be 70 in just 4 more years, we'll tell him when he is 15. Meeting ended" Hemire stand up from his place and bow and left, the other two elders bow and left. Only philip and Rael were in the meeting hall.

"Free...." Philip said, he look down at the table, and gave a sigh. Rael silently put her hand on his shoulder.

And just like that Free became a top list candidate for the village of hayan the biggest village in Daelon. He can refuse but in the end fate won't let him.
