The Dark Heir
Tears

"Are we not going now?" lilia asked while wearing the robe we just stole.

"I won't just leave, I will try to save my father and mother" I replied.

Robert and Lilia just fell silent.I know what I said was impossible.But I will still save both my parents even if I have to die.

"Gerald, please think carefully.Mother and father also definitely do not want to see us hurt" persuaded Robert.

I let out a sigh.Lilia and Robert's faces disagreed with me.

"We should try it out, brother!" my answer.

"By sacrificing yourself? Of course not Gerald!" reply Robert.

Robert's gaze really looks piercing.Eve around us suddenly became very cold.Lilia looked at the two of us with a face full of worry.

"I know what I'm talking about is nonsense, but at least..."

Robert and Lilia looked at me in silence.My emotions were mixed together.The feeling of annoyance and sadness mixed into a very agonizing feeling.

"At least let me see them one last time" I continued.

Tears soaked my face.I don't want the people closest to me to leave the world this fast.What they did to me I haven't had time to reply.I just want them to stay together with me.

"Well, we can go there, but before that eat first" replied Robert with his hand that offered a loaf of bread.

I stood from my position.The weather today feels very hot.From a distance, I noticed our house.Fire that last night devoured our house was extinguished this morning.And the house where we live already looks like ruins.

"It feels weird, doesn't it?" asked Lilia suddenly sitting next to me.

I turned to Lilia.His face still looked gloomy, not as usual.His active and jolly personality turned into a person who looked gloomy and dark.

"Yesterday felt fine, never imagined we would experience something like this, right?" Lilia.

Lilia is a person who is good at hiding her own feelings.I and Robert can never understand what Lilia feels.But sometimes I feel sorry to see Lilia.His jolly personality looks like hiding his gloomy personality.And the events of yesterday night has revealed everything.

"Hahh, I miss the past" continued Lilia.

Lilia just smiled faintly.He did not eat his bread at all.

"You know Gerald? since childhood you were a quiet child" said Lilia.

The wind blew fiercely above this tower, hitting Lilia's long hair.Although her clothes looked dirty, Lilia still looked beautiful.

"You're a pretty quiet kid, preferring not to talk much, but I didn't expect that your personality was mature enough" Lilia continued.

"He's right Gerald" said Robert who suddenly sat next to me.

"Your personality that doesn't panic at the crucial moment, is very useful to you" Robert continued patting me on the back.

"We believe Gerald, your power will someday be used to bring justice" Lilia said.

Robert and Lilia smiled at me. I felt my tears coming out.

Robert and Lilia purposely hid their sad feelings because of me.They didn't want to look weak in front of me.

I promised Lilia and Robert.As I promised my father and mother.My strength will be used for justice.My strength will be used for everyone's smile.It is my promise to my family.

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

We walked crammed towards the capital square.People walked with angry and hateful gazes.Robert held tightly to my hand and Lilia.From a distance, I saw the nobles sitting with hateful gazes.

Rude words and curses came out of their mouths.My body felt very hot and wanted to blow my anger.But Robert looked at our faces and was like saying that everything would be fine.

"Girlwind, citizens of the Kingdom of Heragon whom we respect.We welcome", greet someone using a loudspeaker.

Our faces were visible nearby.Write that we were the most wanted fugitives.

"In a few minutes, we will execute 2 prisoners named Albert Adelio and Elise Adelio. With the crime of treason and murder of security forces" the person continued.

"Stay silent and do nothing" whispered Robert to us.

"And we remind the audience that we need your report when you see these people" said the man pointing to pictures of me, Robert, and Lilia.

I put up the cloth I was wearing to cover my face.Similarly with Robert and Lilia.We are in the midst of a herd of lions.When our identity is known, then our death is certain.

"And you need to be careful with them, Gerald Adelio is the child you should beware of.He has killed 5 Sentinel officers and 20 grown men with his dark magic" the man continued.

Robert squeezed my hand, made sure I didn't blow my emotions here.

"Then, let's welcome our guests today!"

The door behind the stage opened.The Sentinels with full weapons look to secure something.And it makes me really angry.

Both their hands and feet were locked by a magic spell.

Lilia closed her mouth.Robert grimaced to see the condition of father and mother.Meanwhile, my body trembled to see her.Dad and mother climb the stairs where the gallows awaited them.I can not bear to see this.I feel like I want to leave this place.

Rope hangers hung to the neck of the father and mother.Their faces look still charming even battered.

I will always remember them.I will keep their memories.I will never forget them.

They are the ones I have been with.They are the ones I love.Today, they will leave us.

"We will give the right to speak the last words to the convict" said the person with a loudspeaker.

He put his wand close to my mouth and the words of my mother will always be remembered in my life.

"Live happily my children" whispered the mother.

I shed my tears.Similarly Robert and Lilia.Our tears fell down our faces.Dropping like rainwater soaking the ground.

They gave their beautiful smiles one last time.Give goodbye to this world.

With the angry cries of the people and the cries of the 3 children, the door under their feet opened.

Right at that moment lightning struck the royal palace.

Seriate....
