Ep2

My memories were hazy....I still have them though. I have a feeling I might lose them someday.

Lex....

A warrior's son, who's father was hated by someone in the palace.

Framed.

Past.

Weird.

*At Lex's*

"Lex, can I ask something?"

"Sure, long as it's not about my father"

"Then...can I ask why you wanted to take revenge so much?"

...

"He was framed. I couldn't save him that time. Whoever did that to him should pay. Loosing the only person you loved without you even noticing, is just as painful as having a deep wound."

Strange, I felt that kind of pain when I lost dad...

"Have you ever stopped and think if he wanted you to?"

....

I don't like killing, I was so frustrated that it feels like I have no control over my body. Every time I did, pain hits me. Even though I knew dad wouldn't want it. I just...It hurts like hell. No wonder Old Man Jim said that. I can feel his pain. Maybe, he feels the same right now...

"It was my desire, not my father's. I don't want to repeat the same mistake I made when I was a kid. Never again."

Huh....I wish i could've done the same...

*Later*

"Why do run so damn fast?"

"Admit it Trench, you're a turtle."

"Stop talking about yourself, you idiot"

"You are the idiot, I'm too cute to be one"

"Ha! I don't see how you're too cute"

"Tsk, run faster."

"Man, I'm exhausted. Where'd you get all the energy?"

"I train."

"Girls can train??"

"Stop the whining"

"Why do we even need to run? The bakeshop's just there."

"Oh? We're here?"

"YOU JUST NOTICED?? after all those running???"

"hehe"

"Welcome back, what's with all the sweating and panting?"

"This idiot suggested we run instead of walking"

"I told you you're the idiot!"

"HAHA it's nice to see you two get along. Told you Trench would be happy, he looked for you everywhere when you were gone."

"P-papa!"

"HOHO I see......right, Old man I'm heading out later. Don't need Trench"

"Why? I'm your bodyguard"

"Bodyguard? With a frail body like that? Pfft don't make me laugh"

"Go and rest for a while Ells, we'll call you once the food's ready."

"Thanks Old Man."

Lex...I must help him, I don't want the same thing happen twice. I should find whoever did that to Old Man Emilio. I was so scared to move before, seeing my father die in front of me. I did nothing to save him, but kill people. I never once thought of finding whoever did it. Lex is different, although we have our similarities, I am different from him.

...

"Ells, food's ready"

"Coming!"

...

"Ells where're you going without Trench?"

"Oh that, I'm buying a dress."

"Dress? For what?"

"Trench you should know that. You're coming with me to the palace later."

"E-Eh??! p-p-palace?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Are you crazy? I've never been to the palace! Only papa goes there in every events."

"Yeah? And why is that?"

"Aww come on! You can't seriously be asking me that right now!"

"I am, so what?"

"Don't worry Ells, my son don't go there, he keeps being surrounded by ladies there"

"Pfft HAHAHA, is that it Old Man?"

"I-I'm f-famous ok?"

"You looks so dumb right now."

"YOU-"

"I'm going now, see you guys later."

...

Let's see...the Boutique shop, I pretty sure I've seen one near that Old Man's shop...

*At the Boutique shop*

"Welcome, how may I assist you?"

"Oh hi, I'm looking for a blue dress. Dou you have any suggestions?"

"Yes we do, this way please."

Geez these things existed in this time? They were polite too....Come to think of it, I never once wore a dress...ahh I'm in trouble.

"We suggest these dresses for you, why don't you try it? You will look good in this"

"Ahh haha I'm not trying to look good or anything, but thank you."

...

"I'm buying it. Where do I pay"

"Just proceed to the counter."

"Thank you"

"You're welcome, please come again"

"Sure"

...

Ahh that was the worst. I forgot how I despised dresses so much, this world is crazy. Perhaps, the owner of this body likes dresses so much....Life is too cruel...

*Back at the bakeshop*

"I'm home"

"Welcome back"

"Old Man, where's Trench?"

"Oh, he's on the roof"

"ON THE ROOF??"

"Don't worry the roof's safe, he's not doing something crazy"

"Thank god...well anyways, I'm going up"

"Sure, take the stairs"

...

"Oi, buy these for me"

"You're back? AND WHY SHOULD I?"

"Here, buy yourself a tux or whatever."

"Fine, everything in this list?"

"Yeah"

"Right...where'd you get all this money?"

"I work too, you idiot"

"I told you I don't go to the palace, 'sides what're you gonna use that for?"

"Something I think will happen later, I'm just getting ready"

"Ehh? If it's to stop something bad then fine, If you're doing this for something awful, you'll be my slave for a month"

"Sure, I don't mind"

"Wha- you agree? It's just a joke though..."

"I told you, I don't mind, You can't even handle me being your slave. Hurry up and buy those things."

"Y-yes ma'am"

...

Ha, we really have similarities, he's killing the queen first tonight. I should stop that guy before anything happens"

*Later*

"you're late!"

"At least I'm here"

"Get change already, we're going after 5 minutes. I'm gonna go change too."

"Yeah yeah, geez, why do I have to obey you?"

"Simple, you can't defy me"

...

"Ok let's go"

"Y-y-you....wha-what?"

"What?"

"N-n-nothing"

"Alright, Old Man see you at the palace!"
