CHANCES - Battle of Heart: Online
Interlude XII's. Valeria's Heart

...『️Researned wise because this is only fiction, not real️ 』...

According to my parents, I haven't seen since I was a kid.

No visible light entered my eyes, even the priests said I was born blind.

I think it's just a lie to make your jokes sound funny and real to others.

Why do I think so?

To be honest, I can see very clearly even to the extent of how pigeons fly at the end of the palace roof.

I'm trying to convince everyone that I can see like them.

They just laugh.

As the Joker Royal family, our remarks always have to be a joke. I don't know where the unwritten rules came from. I feel like it's not funny at all.

Like that the whole utterance of our Royal family is just a joke. Not serious. Not right. Just a joke for others to laugh.

What would you do if no one was talking about you?

Of course by showing it, if they were looking using the eyes as well, maybe they would believe me.

What if I showed you the way I walked without using the cane my mother gave me? Will the servants and my parents realize that I can actually see normally?

I finally gathered up all my courage and tried it in front of all of them. Walk quietly without using a stick.

"Waahh, Valeria is now able to walk without her cane! Has his sense of hearing improved??"

"As expected by the mother's daughter. You can walk without the help of a cane!"

Surprisingly, walking with a cane didn't make them believe I could see.

I ended up practicing running quickly without tripping over my own legs. I train because sometimes I'm so careless that I often stumble around things.

After diligently practicing silently. I was finally able to run fast enough without gasping for breath. I ran towards the middle room of the palace where my father and mother would always chat.

As soon as I screamed in excitement and showed that I could run, my feet tripped by one of the servants carrying the plate so I fell down. My father walked towards me. I wanted to cry because I saw my knee that was injured by the broken plate. Will my father lift me up in his car and take me to the priest to treat my wound?

The little hope shattered into pieces like plates strewn across the floor as soon as I saw my father laughing out loud. So was my mother.

The waiter who purposely made my feet stumble also laughed with the two of them. Their laughter filled my whole head. Tears desperately wanted to fall from my eyes but I held it back.

They'll laugh even harder if they see me cry.

I tried not to listen to anything my father and mother said until they left me sitting on the floor wounded.

The pain at the end of my knee is not worth all this. Everything I feel right now, at this moment.

As soon as I saw the servant also walking away without cleaning the broken glass that was still scattered, I hugged my legs on my chest. I hugged her tighter and stronger until I almost found it hard to breathe.

I wish this pain would disappear if I hurt her even further.

...****************...

Lately, I've always seen something that hasn't happened, and then it happens a while after.

All of those things are just what will happen to me but randomly. Sometimes it's just small things like what I'm going to eat for breakfast and lunch.

Sometimes great things, about the time when I would be bullied by the city children during the event to be organized by my Kingdom so that all the citizens of the city could enter the palace.

As someone who is notoriously blind, I would definitely be an easy target for them even though I knew if I could avoid them because actually I could see normally.

In my vision, those children attacked me very roughly in considerable numbers. Starting from grabbing my hair, tearing my clothes, throwing my shoes, even slapping me.

The night before the day of the event, I decided to go play alone in the backyard of the palace. No children will go there because it will be boring for them.

Then, while sleeping I dream. I met someone very handsome. The dream then moved as I saw the handsome man coming out from somewhere, a little from the palace but more magnificent than an ordinary house. The building is white with many pillars here and there. Even though the building looked beautiful, the handsome man was seen putting on an unhappy face at all. I didn't see him cry either

His face felt empty.

Vacuous?

A feeling of confusion but sympathy, arose from within me as soon as I woke up from my sleep the next day.

It was as if I understood the feelings of the person I didn't know at all.

He looks real but this is just a dream.

Trying not to think about it, I got off the bed and got ready to hide in the backyard of the palace without my mother or father even the other servants knowing.

I didn't realize that my decision would change my life forever.

...****************...

...〈 It's Valeria's view before she wasn't helped by Kyle 〉...

I really enjoyed how the hot weather of the sun and the sea breeze blew on my body. Right now, I was playing in the backyard of the palace quietly.

I was trying to make a white building that was in my dream so that I could keep remembering that strange building.

Unknowingly, I was too busy with the creation of a building that used the ground to be unaware of a man standing beside me. The man was wearing gardening clothes. He was Uncle Ryner, every time I played in this backyard, that uncle always watched me with a gasp of breath.

I felt a little strange with him but because he didn't bother me so I thought maybe he was a good person because he was just an ordinary citizen working inside this palace.

The uncle invited me back into the palace. He also offered me an iced apple that I liked. Thought I'd get a snack without my mother's knowledge. I let him pull my arm and walk after him.

Uncle Ryner took me down the stairs that led to my room. Feeling confused because the palace kitchen was still quite far away, I asked him.

"Uncle Ryner? We're still not in the kitchen, why did uncle stop?"

Ryner smiled very eeriely before smothering my mouth tightly, "Who said we're going to the kitchen? Come on, come with me. We'll have fun!"

I rebelled as hard as I could because I was shocked and my instincts told me that this was very wrong. However, because my body was still too small, the man managed to pull me inside a small door tucked under the stairs.

I never knew there was a place like this in the palace just below the stairs where my room was.

My breath began to thin, his grip around my body getting stronger as he pulled me into a room. I tried to bite him and hold my body to escape his grasp but my efforts were in vain.

BAAKKS

Suddenly, my head was banged against the table so hard that I could see the stars

Darkened.

As soon as I woke up, I felt an excruciating pain. I felt disgust for my own body. I even cursed myself.

Why...this happened to me?

...𝙳𝚎𝚗𝚍𝚊𝚖....

I'm gonna kill them all.

Look, I'm gonna kill you all.

...****************...

...〈 It's Valeria's view before she'll be helped by Kyle 〉...

Seeing the hot sun at this time, enough to make my mood good. I was a little bored and lonely playing alone in the backyard of the palace just to avoid the town kids.

But, how else, I want to live in peace.

I decided to create a building that appeared from within my dreams. A white building with many tall pillars that looks beautiful and elegant. My mind was reminded of the man who came out of the building with an expressionless blank face.

If only, I knew what happened to him, maybe I could console him?

When my mind was too busy with the building and the man, I did not realize that there was already a man standing beside me. The man was wearing blue gardening clothes.

He was Uncle Ryner, every time I played in the backyard of this palace, that uncle always watched me with a breath of gasp and sweat.

I feel a little weird with him, maybe because he's exhausted by his work? But since he didn't bother me so I thought maybe he was a good person because he was just a regular citizen of the city working inside this palace.

Uncle Ryner invited me back into the palace. He also offered me an iced apple that I liked. Thought I'd get a nice snack without my mom knowing. I let him pull my arm and walk after him.

We continued walking until Uncle Ryner took me down the stairs leading to my room. Feeling confused because the palace kitchen was actually still quite far away, I asked her,

"Uncle Ryner? We're still not in the kitchen, why did uncle stop?"

Ryner smiled very eeriely before smothering my mouth tightly, "Who said we're going to the kitchen? Come on, come with me. We'll have fun!"

I rebelled as hard as I could because I was shocked and my instincts told me that this was very wrong. However, because my body was still too small, the man managed to pull me inside a small door tucked under the stairs.

I never knew there was a place like this in the palace just below the stairs where my room was.

My breath began to thin, his embrace around my body getting stronger as he pulled me into a room. I tried to bite his hand and hold my body to escape his grasp but my efforts were in vain.

BAAKKS

Suddenly, my head was banged against the table so hard that I could see the stars

Darkened.

As soon as I woke up, I felt an excruciating pain. Someone's moans were heard and tried to turn my head to the source.

There was a little boy who seemed to be a little older than me, standing in front of Uncle Ryner who was groaning and writhing in pain on the ground.

He chanted something from his mouth and the screams followed by a groan began to sound louder and louder than Uncle Ryner. I feel pretty scared about it.

But at the same time, I felt very relieved.

The boy strangled Uncle Ryner's neck and raised it as high as the boy could. Amidst the groans and moans of his pain, Uncle Ryner started babbling indistinctly

"Ohokhyegnggh ⁇ long ⁇ uhypardemunifyme!" saith.

Then, the boy threw Uncle Ryner's body until he fell back on the ground but did not budge again. The boy glanced at me, ah? Will he attack me too? Unknowingly, I was crying.

He walked over to me so I tried to move backwards on this table but in vain, my body is very weak right now and shaking quite violently.

Ah, I'm really pathetic. This whole thing feels so sad.

"Who are you?! What are you going to do to me? I can see if you're trying to call me, too," in the midst of his gasping breath, I tried to raise my head to face the child before me but I ended up looking down in fear.

"I'm sorry, Valeria."

Tears flowed more and more from the end of my eyes as he called out my name very gently. I ventured to lift my face towards him.

Black hair and black eyes. Who her? Why do I feel like I've ever met him? Or... see it?

"Calm down. You're safe now" he said calmly and gently.

"Who are you?! Tell me who are you?!" subconsciously I began to ask by raising my voice while furrowing my eyebrows.

He looked puzzled for a moment but then he smiled broadly.

"I? I'll be your husband's candidate."

"Huh?"

I jerked.

"Sleep" he rubbed my head and blew it

Darkened.

Once I woke up again, it was dark and I was on the bed in my room. Looking here and there with confusion, especially since the appearance of the child who claimed to be my future husband.

Who is she ?!

The next day, I heard Uncle Ryner come out of the palace and kill himself by plunging himself into the sea.

I don't know why it happened to him. Was that the kid?

A child who seems to be from nowhere but from somewhere far away.

...****************...

I kept crying as I remembered that, Kyle had gone back to my past and changed it. I remember what happened before, I also remembered what he had done so that it would not happen to me.

I also understood why he said that to me out loud because what I saw in the future became clearer and stronger as time went on where I got bigger and my level increased.

Seeing him who is now helping me again to fight against the spirits possessed by Satan so they are evil.

I understand now, why I chose her even though she had many other girls by her side.

He was too strong that he subconsciously began to protect us all so easily as if our strength was just a joke to him.

It feels funny like a real joke, with ease.I fell in love with him like I love ice apples and also his chocolate cake.

To be with him...

I'd do anything.
