Chapter 35: Shaxia (I)
Cosibiri, a kingdom located in the northern part of the Gotanis Empire. The environment here is harsh, with snow and cold all year round. It is also the lowest and least developed place among the four major dynasties of the empire. Nevertheless, the people who lived here never complained, because there was a man they respected, a wise monarch.
Hilithia Shakde, the leader of the country and the ruler of Cosibiri. During his more than ten years in power, he loved the people and compassionate things, and gave light gifts. With extraordinary wisdom, he has developed the country into a legendary figure in the kingdom.
My name is Shasha, an ordinary elf in the kingdom of Gosibiri. I am honored to live in this ethnically friendly city-state, without humiliation or oppression. Living here, I live with my mother Yulia all the year round. But when I was 12 years old, my tired mother suddenly fell ill and was bedridden ever since.
I was sad and guilty, and my mother fell ill because she was too tired. So I made up my mind to be filial to her in the coming days, and I must make my mother smile healthily again.
However, the mother eventually left.
Heartbroken, I knelt in front of my mother's grave. The words my mother had said to me on her deathbed kept echoing in my mind.
I see, why is it him, why is he the one I worship? Why is he so ruthless, why doesn't he even want to see his mother for the last time?
I hated him, hated him completely. I don't want to stay in this place where he is.
The cool breeze blew slightly on my body, and I looked at the endless grass in a confused state, and for some reason, all kinds of complex emotions suddenly emerged in my heart.
Loneliness, disappointment, grief.
Tears kept dripping down the path. I felt my head go blank, and I finally fell to the ground uncontrollably.
"Where is this? ”
When I opened my eyes, I looked around curiously.
In the empty and modest room, I was lying on a large soft bed, and not far away were two young maids. When she saw me awake, one of the maids hurried out of the room.
Then, a handsome middle-aged man appeared in my field of vision. With long blue hair, a bearded face, and two big dark circles at the corners of his eyes, he looked unusually tired.
"Thank goodness it's great that you're okay. ”
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and took me into his arms. I don't know why, but in his arms, I felt unusually warm.
"Who are you?"
Enjoying his warmth, I asked curiously, why is this noble man in front of me both strange and familiar?
"Son, I am your father. The middle-aged man said with an excited expression, tears in his eyes.
"Father?"
I didn't react for a while, what was he talking about. Do I have a father? I don't think so. My father died after I was born.
"I'm sorry, I don't have a father anymore. "I denied it as hard as I could, something had come to mind, but I didn't want to admit it.
I don't know how to face him.
"My name is Hirithia Shakd, and you are my daughter Hirithia Shasha, son. ”
Oh, well, but what's the use of you talking about it now, I've lost my most important thing.
The guy who took it was right in front of me, the person I admired the most, and now the person I hate the most.
"I repeat, my father is dead, he has been dead since my mother and I were abandoned. ”
I looked coldly at his pale face, and although a few tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, the expression on his face did not change.
But my heart really hurts, the pain is heartbreaking, and I can't breathe in pain.
"Kid, me. ”
He was as confused as a child, and his thick hands were about to hold me again.
"Don't come here. ”
I coldly pushed him away, glared at him and was going to leave like that, I didn't want to stay here for a second longer. But before he could get out of the door, he fainted again.
"I know you won't forgive me. However, I have already lost once and will definitely not lose again, please forgive me for my willfulness. ”
As soon as the blue light dissipated in his hand, his face was sad, and he muttered to himself as he looked at me in a coma.
Since then, I know I'm stuck here, this strange place, this home that doesn't belong to me. Looking out at the beautiful garden outside the balcony, what the hell should I do.
"Squeak. ”
The sound of the door opening diverted my attention, and besides him, another very noble woman came in with a smile on her face with two little boys about my age.
This is his current wife, the woman who has been taking care of my daily life these days.
I saw her concern, and her loving smile was exactly the same as my mother's. I don't think a person with such a smile is a villain who will take away someone else's husband. Despite my apparent indifference, my heart seemed to be slowly melting.
"Is there anything wrong with him?" I began to wonder as I looked at his departing back. And then immediately vetoed. No, I'm not wrong, he's a bastard who abandoned his mother, and I definitely can't forgive him.
