Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Glimpse of reality

Then he sees John running as fast as he can to grab the man who follows or spies on them.

Luther’s mind only said,

“Who is that man?

Why is John shocked to see him?

Why does this man look like a guard?

Why is he following them?”

Even if the words are true,

what did Harold say to Luther about John?

He can’t bear these things and went home fast.

The scene shifted to John.

“Hey,

freak man!

“Stop,

I think I know you,

and if you don’t stop,

I will kill you,”

said John.

The man runs faster than John; he doesn’t even listen to what John says to him. At this moment, John quickly pulls up on a tree and uses his knife and throws it at the legs of the man.

The man got stumbling uncontrollable and got fall down.

At this moment John pulled him into the chest of the man and put his knife to the man’s throat and said, “Why did you come, and who sent you?” The man saw there was so much anger looking in John’s eyes, and he became fearful and told him with a trembling voice, “Forgive me, young lord;

it was your dad who sent me to look out for you and with whom you hang out and play or how you spend your time for several days. It’s not my fault your dad told me to do this, and I am not harming you, but you caught me, so I ran away, please! Forgive me.

John became so angry and again ran away on the way home, and this time some truths came out.

John reached the home so close, and now A great palace was his home. He hides many things about himselfand his family from Luther.

He entered the palace and went straight to his dad. When he opened the room, a guard told him that his father was busy in a meeting that his father called, so he told him to wait for his father.

Eric came and said, “What’s happening here? What’s the noise I’ve heard for a long time?”

Many guards came already to cover Eric and told him, “Lord, it was your son who called you many times to meet with you.”

About Eric-

At the same age as Luther’s dad and the father of John and the holder of the title Lord, yes, in the village where John lived, his father was the Lord. Eric is one of the most powerful warrior lords and the holder of the Potara, which is a symbol of power.

The scene shifted to John again.

“Where have you been for several days,

John?

I can’t find you in the village or palace.

What’s wrong with you?

Serious face and uptone,”

said Eric with some anger.

Eric again said, “Did you forget who you are and what your aim, purpose, and responsibilities are? Just explain to me, John, now.”

John replied, “I was with my best friend and playing and spending time with him, but tell me why you sent your guard to look out for me. Don’t I have the right to live my life my own way or not? Anxiously told by John.

“Yes, you have, but I noticed you have not been participating in training for a few days. When it’s afternoon, you escape from the palace and go out of the village, and now you tell me you have a new best friend out of the village with whom you play and spend time. Don’t you know it’s harmful or dangerous for you, son? I have a lot of enemies, and they also try to kill me or you and harm you,” said Eric with angry words.

John “I know; that’s why I always carry the knife you gave me, Dad.” And my friend was Luther, and he is a nice guy; he helped me and always supported me in hard times. He even saved my life from danger.

But I heard from the guard that the boy you hang out with is just a normal boy from a poor family and lived in another village than ours. Then tell me, why are these foolish things done by you, huh? “You are the Lord’s son, and you are hanging with this poor family’s boy.

This is not decorous to you,” said Eric.

“Where you trained and in the palace ground, there are a lot of young boys who are the same age as you and also well known and come from rich families, and their fathers are also my friends, so why don’t you go along with them? What’s the problem?” John asked Eric.

John replied. I don’t feel good with them; they just show off their richness and power to poor kids and make fun of them. Most of the reason my vibe doesn’t match with them is that, but Luther was different; he is sensible and not only a good guy but also a kind heart.

I know, and even I also heard that the boy has some special powers and unique abilities that make him not ordinary like others. “Am I right, son? Asked Eric.

John said, “No, not like that.” John hid the matter on purpose; he didn’t tell his dad. He just said, “He is just a boy like me and good to me. I like to train and play with him.”

He is from a poor family, and God knows who his father is and what he does for a living. Even I don’t understand the boy’s aim, why he meets with you, why he is making a bond, and what his intention is for you, like if it’s good or bad or if he wants to kill or try to harm or spy on you so that I send my guard to see what’s going on with you.

John said “no” with the proud face of John and said, “Dad, it’s not like that. I even met with him first by accident, and his intentions are good towards me, and I approached him first to make friendship with him.”

Oh! “I see then, but you should care about this. Don’t let your guard down so that anyone harms or kills you because this tension makes me weak and anxious for you, son,” said Eric.

Remind him, son,

that…
