The Author Is Speechless-Chapter 19: Someone who will come

Viktor went inside his room and brought a shiny long sword to fight with him.

Alberto was standing in front of his door waiting patiently.

"Come on. We will have some fun tonight. "

"Yes, brother. "

Both of them went to the open space beside the paddy field. The sun was already down, so Viktor cast light magic and countless firefly-looking light balls started to float around them.

Alberto looked at them and touched one on his palm.

"It's warm brother. It's not hurting at all."

"Yes, because it's light magic."

"I've read lots of books about light magic. It said that a light magic user is the rarest magician in the world. Even the purest royal blood cannot give birth to one. "

Viktor smiled and bowed to him to start the duel.

So, Alberto took out his sword and bowed back. "Let's fight a great battle brother. "

And both of them vanished from their spot and suddenly a light slash of sparkle came out from their sword.

"See brother? I blocked your attack today!"

"It's on easy mode. Don't be so full of yourself. I will be raising the level to medium now. "

Viktor changed his standing position and attacked him with whole different and violent moves. He was barely holding up with his new attack patterns. He was landing his sword on his body but it didn't cut. The shiny iron sword was acting like a wooden one that don't cut.

It was already 12 minutes but Alberto couldn't predict a single attack from his brother, so he surrendered and threw his sword away to take some rest on the muddy ground.

"Your clothes will get dirty. " Said Viktor.

"I have maids to wash my clothes now. Don't worry."

"Already spoiled? It's been only a few hours since you became a part of the family for real."

"I was a family member from the very beginning, they just didn't treat me like one. That's all."

Viktor sat beside him and told him,

"About the story, will you hear it?"

Alberto went up and sat right in front of him to listen to what he wanted to say.

"You seem to be determined to listen to my story, then I will tell you something about the future."

"The future?" Alberto asked with curiosity all over his face.

"Yes, about the future. But don't tell anyone about it. Because if you do, I will receive a penalty."

"Ok, I swear to god that I will never tell anyone about this."

"Ok then, listen to an ugly duckling's story "

Once upon a time, there was an ugly duckling in a family, he was neglected by anyone in his home. He received no love, he had no friends. He was so sad.

One day, the ugly ducking meets a beautiful baby goose. The baby goose saw him crying. So she took care of him and promised him that she will marry him.

After so many days, the ugly duckling's family found out about the baby goose, so they wanted to kill her. The ugly ducking became furious after listing to their decision and he killed his family who never loved him.

Later, the ugly ducking proposed to her, but the baby goose rejected him. Because she found a new duck and the duck was stronger and wealthier than him.

She threw him away and the ugly ducking became sadder. And one day he killed himself.

Alberto thought for some moment and asked,

"Why didn't the goose love him?"

"No, the baby goose was a bad little goose who loves nothing but money. "

"You're saying that this is a story of the future. So that means this is going to happen to a person?"

"Future changes every millisecond. One single change can turn the predicted future upside down. But remember little one, the ugly ducking has changed, but the goose didn't. "

"You know who's the baby goose?"

Viktor smiled and said,

"You will see in the near future. Not yet, you'll be 19 years old by then" "

"How do you know the future?" Alberto asked.

"How do I know the future? Haha! That's a secret."

Viktor stood up and looked at the stars. A mega meteor shower was passing by and most of it crashed on the surface of both moons.

-The control of astronomical events is totally messed up because of the absence of the guardian of the stars and moons in the realm of the guardian. Should I ask Rae to go back and fight for his position?

But how? He's too weak now. He has to regain his power to go up and fight. But it's not easy…

Fighting with guardians with the power of humans is suicide.

Let's put those thoughts aside, I have to leave this place tonight. So I will spend some time with him.

"Alberto, tell me what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"I want to be the strongest swordsman of this continent and become a grand duke of a huge territory. "

"Really? Then you have to work so hard to achieve your dream. I believe in you. "

"Thank you, big brother ."

"You will go to the academy 2 years later, and 5 years of study. That means I will come back after 7 years to see you again. "

"7 years? That's a long time."

"Yes, I know. So work hard and don't disappoint me. I will fight with you in the medium level when he met."

Suddenly a man came from the main house and stopped near Viktor.

"Mr Viktor. Are you leaving the house tonight?"

It was the butler who questioned him formally.

-why is he talking like that?

"Yes, I already told you didn't I? You also paid me this month's salary. So there's no reason for me to stay here any longer ."

"I see. Then I must tell you something before you leave. There's someone who will come to meet you when you will become 20. So, take care of yourself. "

"Okay."

-Someone who knows about my existence. And he will come to me when it's time. Is he someone from my family?

He thought about it for a second and came up with something.

-A man will come to me on his own. And he knows about everything I am doing here.

So, he's not someone to take lightly. Maybe he's my father or brother? Anyway, when I told that butler that I wanted to leave this job, the reaction on his face was pure frustration. But he said nothing but paid my monthly salary with 10 gold extra as a bonus.

Furthermore, he asked me where I will be going after leaving the house. So I told him that I will go to an academy. There's no point in lying because I want to find out who's keeping an eye on me.

The butler left the place and Viktor stood up.

He removed the bandages from both of his hands and both of his crests showed up.

And the crest on his forehead started to glow visibly.

Alberto was looking at him and watched three of his crests glowing in the dark. He was staring at those crests because it was something that he had never seen before.
