The Queen of the Foxes
S2. PART 61'S
...~~~~...
Zilian stalked the bandits from one of the high posts there.
A group of bandits surrounded a 15-year-old boy in ragged clothes.
The boy was not afraid at all, his face seemed so calm to face the bandits.
The burly bandits began to approach the boy and looked at him with a face that impressed them to make him scare him but it was a pity that the boy still remained calm, not at all feeling intimidated.
"How, did you get the map? "Ask a man who stood closest to the boy.
".... "
There was no answer they wanted eventually any of them felt emotion.
"Hey, brother asked you! "Shouted the person behind the man who first spoke earlier.
"It seems that you are getting bolder, son" said the first man, clapping his hands, the man walking around the boy with claps of his hands that sounded so loud.
Until the man kicked the boy to the wall behind him, he walked up to him and lowered his head.
"Give me the map now" he stared intently at the boy.
The boy was forced to give it, he reached into his pocket after getting the target item the man wanted with great difficulty, his life was almost a bet.
The man smirked in satisfaction, he turned his back on the boy, looking as if he was giving the code to his partner.
Those who received the code from their leader instantly took out their weapons and walked up to the child with a grin.
One of them raised his iron stick that led to the boy but before the stick hit him the owner was instantly lifeless.
Seeing his partner die just like that one of them stared full of anger at the boy, he also drew his sword on the boy's neck but again it was not the boy's neck that was separated from his body but the perpetrator himself who received the consequences.
They began to look around him with a look filled with anger.
"Who is that? Get out you coward! "Shouted them almost simultaneously.
Zilian leaped off the pole, deliberately landing his foot on one of those bald-headed and guiltless of course.
Zilian walked closer to the bandits by abandoning his clone made of energy to guard the boy while Zilian faced them.
Zilian did not use his shadow because he had used it to keep Gailen in the inn as long as he left, his shadow was not part of magic so it would not be detected, even if Zilian used his Zihir now also no problem.
Zilian drew his sword and smiled at each of the burly bandits' faces.
Somehow the surrounding aura turned colder than before, a cold that pierced into the bones of the bandits.
"People who use others for their own benefit to receive praise from them are like you who deserve to be called true cowards" Zilian said.
"Then out of all the punishments I will choose this for you" said Zilian starting to tighten his grip with his sword.
With Zilian casually slashing down on those who were there with no waste, blood was everywhere staining the white snow there.
Zilian was even struck by a splash of blood on his face, his sharp gaze staring at the corpses of those who had been lying on the snow pile, he was sure that they were no longer alive with their heads separated from their main bodies.
"Huh, it seems that I finished in time" muttered Zilian tossing the origin of his sword then acting as if he had not done such a heinous thing.
He turned to meet the boy and hugged him warmly.
"Stop looking at it, your face may be lying but not with your heart and feelings" Zilian patted the boy's shoulder softly.
What Zilian did managed to escape the boy's tears, it had been a long time - errat, he had never even felt this kind of warmth for as long as he lived.
Zilian took off his embrace and gently wiped away the child's tears not forgetting the sweet smile on his face.
The boy suddenly rubbed the cloth that Zilian had used to cover his face and showed his hand to Zilian who was sculpting.
"I forgot to remove the bloodstains on my face" Inner Zilian smiled clumsily as he realized his carelessness.
The boy tore off his shirt and used the piece of cloth to wipe the blood on Zilian's face after gently and thoroughly removing the cover, he looked so serious from the look on his face and his gaze.
"Here it is, let me be alone" said Zilian holding the boy's arm that was silently staring at Zilian flat.
"What's your name? "Ask Zilian on the sidelines he cleaned his face.
The boy seemed to have no intention of answering Zilian's question and Zilian understood it must have been too sensitive.
"Do you know what your name is? "Ask Zilian again, he looked at the boy who replied to his question with a sledgehammer.
"Then have you seen your parents all these years? "Ask Zilian heart he also put up the cover of his face with a spare cloth.
The boy groaned slowly making Zilian feel a little pity, how could his two parents not care?
Zilian clucked softly at the thought patterns of his parents, though poor or their child had any defects or deficiencies that they had no right to leave his child.
Although Zilian was angry to keep him there would be no point in Zilian blabbing indistinctly.
"Do you want to know where your parents are? "Ask Zilian and the boy was silent again.
Zilian sighed, it seemed that his question again was too sensitive for him.
The boy lowered his head staring at the snow he was shooting, just as his heart had become completely cold.
Zilian hugged the boy and stroked his head slowly, Zilian smiled softly.
"If you don't mind then suppose I'm your own brother say whatever bothers you and stop assuming that your life is full of enemies around you, if you want to meet both of your parents then I'm ready to help you" zilian took off his embrace.
Hopefully the boy will accept it honestly Zilian could not bear to let him live alone somehow he wanted to protect the child.
"Follow me, you will choose your name later" said Zilian extending his hand toward the boy who gave his hand with pleasure.
Suddenly Zilian picked him up and took him galloping towards the information bureau.
On the other hand in the darkest place there, someone was watching Zilian's movements with his flat face.
...~~~~...
The door of an open room showed Zilian and a young boy in the middle of a rowdy Zilian entering the room.
Zilian sat down with the boy right after he got near the sofa, sitting next to him.
"It seems that the drug is powerful as well" said Zilian smiling behind a cloth that covered half of his face.
"What else do you want to ask? "The man was impatient.
"Before that, can I ask for the pill again? "Ask Zilian who got a frown from his interlocutor.
"This time it's not free" he said grunting in annoyance, just imagine him waiting in this room almost making him die of boredom.
"What do you want? "Ask Zilian relaxed.
"Before the Lady leaves, the Lady says the Princess is still alive isn't she? What did the Lady say was true? "Ask with a suddenly serious face.
"No but also yes, its existence is a question mark and its departure is a reality for the kingdom of Baxeria, I have answered it now depending on you who want to interpret it how it is not my business" Zilian said casually.
The man let out a long sigh, he gave the pill to Zilian who had just eaten it.
Zilian cast a spell and carved out an intricate pattern of his after 7 minutes, his altar was finished as well.
"Droplet your blood" said Zilian glancing at the boy who instantly obeyed him without a word.
Zilian began to focus as the blood touched his altar which immediately filled the room.
A mouthful of blood came out of Zilian's lips but the girl continued until the light on the altar gathered on the boy and surrounded him, Zilian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Choose your name through the four lights "say Zilian limp.
Out of the four lights in white, black, purple, and green she chose black and it made Zilian feel interested in her choice.
Zilian smiled faintly at him, "why did you choose him, Alastor? "
"The color I want" said Alastor flatly.
"Is it because of your energy? "Taught Zilian to raise his eyebrows.
"Maybe" Alastor replied indifferently.
"You can use your power now, you're free to do whatever you want, I won't have you follow me or anything that can limit your freedom even so I'll be there when you need me, Alastor" zilian stroked the top of Alastor's head slowly.
"Thank you" he said with eyes that glanced at Zilian.
"Of course, it's my duty as your brother" Zilian said warmly.
Alastor quietly heard Zilian's words, which he was willing to claim as his brother.
Alastor closed his eyes and slowly controlled the wind to make a soundproof shield and Zilian realized that.
"You're great, when this is the first time you've used your power" Zilian said in amazement.
Alastor didn't answer anything, he just kept quiet.
Zilian shrugged his head at Alastor's cold manner.
"Hey, do you know the potion to disguise someone's blood? I need the potion so my friend can get in here" Zilian looked at the man expectantly.
"No but if it's energy I can" said the man.
"That's it" Zilian replied quickly, whatever it was Brant could get in here.
"Prepare the material on the paper" said the man suddenly gave the paper to Zilian.
Zilian took out all the necessary materials after he finished staring at the man again.
"Is there anything else the Lady would like to ask? "The man suddenly became polite.
"Make me a stamina-enhancing potion I need for my trip this time" Zilian said, leaning his back in search of the most comfortable position there.
"There again? "ask.
"Maybe you can help me keep Alastor as long as I'm gone" Zilian said casually.
"Everything excludes my work, I just answer questions instead of doing such a task" he replied coldly.
"The answer to the puzzle" said Zilian reaching out his hand right in front of the man.
"Again" he replied to Zilian's hand.
"This is for you, just use it as much as you can" said Zilian giving a bag full of crystals to Alastor.
There was no answer but he accepted it, Zilian got up from there and began to say goodbye, his body was quite tired now and also hurt because it helped Alastor earlier.
The seal that sealed Alastor's flow of magic was so powerful and his memory was also blocked, as Zilian wanted to see his memories he had instead received an attack that was out of nowhere.
Zilian decided to return to the inn to rest, so he did not have time to find his dream home despite having time to travel with Gailen.
From a distance the figure was still following Zilian confusedly wanting to attack or remain silent, it could have been that he had killed Zilian just now, this situation greatly favoured him seeing that Zilian was unable to use his strength and his deteriorating condition from helping Alastor earlier.
But somehow his body did not want to obey his mind.
When he was busy thinking how to arrive, the voice of the girl entered his mind.
"You'll be busy later"
The figure smiled faintly in response to Zilian's words, he looked at Zilian who was still walking leisurely on a fairly quiet road.
"Happyly" he replied and disappeared.
