The light aroma of books and wood mixed in the spacious room made the atmosphere calm and peaceful.
Arya who was used to the pile of black inked paper could only flip through sheet by sheet of books in front of her.
The book he read was [what is life?] it was the book he got in the most corner library full of old books
He opened the next sheet and one question left him confused.
[No life is meaningful if the answer is 'no', forgetting is a characteristic feature of humans, then remembering? Is that bullshit?]
Arya tilted her head and she fell silent.
Answer 'no'?
That's a familiar phrase.
From the side a teenage girl approached Arya calmly. He stared for a long time at Arya who seemed to focus on her book.
"What's wrong?" ask Arya to the girl.
"Nothing"
The girl sat beside Arya and she glanced slightly at the sheet that Arya had previously been looking at long ago.
"Ah that, the meaning of the answer 'no' here is rejection, suppose you have a previous life, but you forget if you have lived before"
"Rejection here is like you don't want to remember what happened, you choose to forget rather than remember your life"
"I think it's just a myth, because no one is born again after death"
Arya stared fixedly at the girl beside her. The girl is the only girl in her class, her name if not Seadna(?)
According to Arya the girl was a quiet girl. He did not know if the girl knew many things about such things as the book.
"Hm? You are confused, aren't you? I come from a literary family, so things like this are commonplace"
Arya blinked again.
"No, not that! I forgot what your name is..."
Seadna blinked softly. Whahuh? Forgot it?
"Haha, my gosh, so you've been quiet since you didn't know my name? Haha, funny thing~ my name is Seadna, you can call me Sena"
Seadna wiped away her flowing tears from laughing.
"I'll forget" Arya muttered softly.
"God, forgot? Aren't we in one class for a few days?"
"Heum, you're such a disguise to know! I'm also not very familiar with children like you. I want to get close to you but you are like putting up a high wall around you, how can I approach you? After all we are only 4 days in one class" said Arya opened the next sheet of the book.
"Gosh, looks like we both misunderstood! I also thought that you were a cold person. You put a flat face on all students except your friends. But I didn't expect you to be this friendly. You are also a person who is easy to talk to, even though your aura looks quite scary" said Seadna tilted her head.
"You... The more you see the more beautiful, huh? Tight eyelashes, sharp round eyes, sharp nose, moist lips are not red but not pink as well, white skin is smooth and soft, eyebrows are neat... Just short hair, otherwise it would be perfect to be called a girl" Seadna judged Arya's appearance from head to toe in awe.
"I look like my father" replied Arya still reading the book in her hand.
"Oh, really!? Then your father is handsome and beautiful at the same time dong? What about your mother? Do you have anything in common?"
Arya who wanted to turn the page instantly came to a halt.
"No, we don't look alike, I don't even know what my mother was like, that person died after giving birth to me"
Seadna opened her eyes wide and instantly felt guilty.
"Ah, I-I'm sorry I didn't mean...!?"
Arya shrugged her shoulders casually.
"Just calm down, I'm fine"
Arya got up and put the book back on her shelf and lowered her head a little to say goodbye.
Along the way out Arya lowered her head and walked quickly.
It's a lie if Arya says she's okay. His heart ached and his eyes were hot. Nothing is okay if anyone talks about his mother.
Arya who slowly forgets the figure of the mother back reminded, it feels really ugly, ha-ha:”)
I think he's fighting again, wkwk
Tired, haha... Ha.
Huu.. Em Arya who was not used to it for too long did not hear his father's voice became more chaotic.
Want to call but prestige. Gini very if again fight with his own father.
"If you call Lina, she won't babble, will she?" arya asked herself.
Arya again takes out her Monicator and tries to contact Lina. In the Night Palace there was only one Monicator, and it was Lina's.
...Lina is calling...
^^^Arya:^^^
^^^"Hello?" ^^^
Lina:
"Yes? Princess finally you contacted me?!"
^^^Arya:^^^
^^^"Yes, I'm sorry to close the previous call, I have class?"^^^
Lina:
"Class? Where are you really Princess?!"
^^^Arya:^^^
^^^"I'm in the Academy"^^
Lina:
"(Shocked) how did you get to the Academy?!! You are not old enough!!?"
^^^Arya:^^^
^^^"I got a recommendation from the academy chief, don't worry too much"^^
Arya sat down in the deserted hallway and answered Lina's every question. One of the two nannies who took care of him since he was still a pajik.
^^^Arya:^^^
^^^"Lina, how are you and Tera?"^^^
Lina:
"Everything's good, Princess"
^^^Arya:^^^
^^^"Then.... How's dad?"^^^
Aha, Lina finally found out why Arya contacted her, it must be because the boy missed his father.
Lina:
"The Emperor's been on the border since the last few days"
^^^^^^^
^^^"(Lesu) Oh, so...."^^^
Lina:
^^^Arya:^^^
^^^"Hm, it's okay"^^
Lina felt bad for Arya so could not speak anymore. The boy must be reviewing fake smile as usual.
^^^Arya:^^^
^^^"Lina, what was mom like?"^^^
Lina fell silent and her eyes widened. It was her first time Arya asked about the person who had given birth to her.
Lina:
"You sure?"
^^^Arya:^^^
^^^"If you don't want to be okay, I'm just curious"^^
^^^Arya:^^^
^^^"Ah yes, someone has come"^^
Arya closed her monicator unilaterally. But no one passed by. Ha-ha she's not ready to hear it: D
He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
Dingy...
Arya covered her face with her left hand and laughed out loud.
Complaints are useless.
No one will understand...
Everyone does not understand...!
And it's impossible to understand...
༻ ⁇ FLASHBACK ⁇ ༺
It was a beautiful day to celebrate a birthday. His father gave him a beautiful hairpin gift in the form of a cat and a rabbit.
She; Alice is a seven-year-old little girl. Today is his birthday. He was happy to get congratulations from his father. But... Where did his mother go?
He refused to blow the candle on the cake before his mother came home. However, even until the hour has shown at 11 pm his mother has not returned.
His father also went to work after giving him a gift
Is... Can't we celebrate this year together?
"Miss, you better go to bed soon, it's almost midnight, what if you're sick?" said one of the servants to persuade Alice.
"Th-can't! I'm not going to sleep! Mom will definitely be home! I'll wait for her!" alice insisted on refusing the servant's invitation.
"You can't-!?"
From the front there was the sound of a car that had just made the little girl jump up in excitement.
"It must be mom!?"
"Mother!! Mom's finally home, mommy let's celebrate my birthday now!" welcome Alice to try to grab her mother's hand.
Sisca; alice's mother brushed the girl's hand away firmly.
"Hiss! It's so noisy!! Get out of front of me now!!" sisca's jolt pushed Alice's body to the floor.
Right now he's drunk making him half conscious. He had always been rude to Alice, so it wasn't once twice but often.
Ughhhh... Be ill....
Alice pursed her lips and said sorry. Whatever the mind of a seven-year-old child, it is still children who will be easily hurt if yelled at no matter what form it is. The boy is still a boy!
Sisca left with a stagger into her room leaving Alice slightly injured in the palm of her hand
"Miss?" the waiter called out with a worried feeling
"It's okay" Alice replied still with a cheerful face.she clenched her hands.
"How can it be okay? Your palms are bleeding because they hold your body when you fall, you know?!" said the maid looking at the little girl's palm.
"What, the wound is gone, and it's not the first time, why worry?" comforting Alice even made the servant start crying.
"Hiks, miss is very pity~! I can't bear it, hiks!"
Arya so excited and tried to entertain him by sharing ways but still it did not work.
Tomorrow then...
Alice was invited by her father to go somewhere by car. They stopped right in a big building that looked like a hospital, only it was empty.
"What's dad's place?" alice asked around.
Xionel, that's Alice's father's name. The man simply silently led Alice into the building.
"I brought my daughter here"
From the opposite direction, a long-bearded old man walked up to the two of them.
Who, who is that?
"Dad?" call Alice who is slowly staring at her father.
Xionel crouched down equalizing her height with her son. He held both of Alice's shoulders making the girl feel a little scared.
"Dad...?" call Alice again.
"Alice, listen to me, you go with that uncle, right? I'll pick you up later" said Xionel, causing Alice to panic.
"Dad, dad, but...!!" Alice quickly caught his father's hand begging.
"Go away" Xionel pushed Alice's body towards the old man.
Alice turned her body trying to chase after her father who started walking out and entered the car.
"No! Nah! Daddy's! Alice please don't leave Alice!! Daddy!!" the girl shouted while crying.
"Little girl come with grandpa, grandpa will give you candy, how?" asked the old man to take out a lollipop.
Alice shook her head quickly and tried to remove the old man's hand from her wrist.
"D-no, don't want to! I want to go home!!" alice stomped her body hoping to escape.
"Oh, this kid is really stubborn!" the old man dragged Alice into the room with minimal lighting.
The girl's body trembled looking around which looked darker.
Under these circumstances it felt like he could not bring out his strength at all, he was too afraid.
"Hiks, help Alican!!" alice shouted curled up in place.
"Haha, son what are you saying? There was no one else disin-" the old man's words were cut off as he looked at the frightening gaze of the girl who was slowly rising from her place.
"No one can hurt Alice, not even an outsider like you" Alican said with her sharp eyes. She could not see what hurt Alice was crying.
"You, who are you!" the aura of the girl before him changed.
Alican narrowed his eyes.
He glanced at his surroundings and his eyes stopped right behind the old man.
What's that thing?
