The Boy With Open Eyes.

Chapter 45

Wyatt. Who was that? 'The human that attacked Sprite Kingdom all those years ago.' That's what they tell you when you ask that name and no one likes to mention what Wyatt did before that as no one likes to talk of Wyatt. Why was he in Spade Kingdom anyways? Why did they let a human in?

Long ago... It's been so long since I told anyone this story as I am sadly no longer living.

The Knights stood there at the entrance of Spade Kingdom doing their usual turning down of people who somehow found the Kingdom then a little boy with clothes nearly in rags came running out of nowhere, clearly panicked. The two Knights felt pity for the kid and asked why he was alone and so scared?

"My homes been destroyed!" The boy exclaimed. "There was a nuke and it was all gone, I was told to run, so I did. My family is gone!" The boy began to cry.

The two Knights looked at each other and felt pity for the kid as they themselves had kids of their own at home amd they would want someone to care for their kids if something like what the boy said were to happen. They discussed for a bit while the human body shovered and cried as he was clearly traumatized about what had gone down at his old ruined home, the kind Knights decided to let the boy stay for a while and give him to anyone looking for him, could hopefully convince the royal family.

"Kid, follow us." Exclaimed the two Knight to the cared boy. "We're going to see if you can stay here with the royal families permission until hopefully a family member of yours comes near." The boy nodded and followed them past the gates hesitantly.

The two knights reassured the boy that he would be safe as the royal family wasn't cruel to people who meed help getting back on their feet, the boy later realized his name was Wyatt. Wyatt nervously came up with the Knights to the Royal Family who whispered to one another when they saw Wyatt before them, the only one who wasn't paying attention and instead read his book was what seemed like the youngest Prince in the family.

"This child came the entrance and claims his home was destroyed, we were hoping that he may stay here until he find a family member or gets a new home." The Knights said bowing. "We humbly hope you say yes." The King just sat there uninterested.

His Spades glowed a bit and he turned to the youngest Prince who had Four Leaf charms instead as he said

"Son, what do you think we should do? This will be great practice for you as future king." The Prince finally looked up from his book.

"I see no bad intent in this one, he is weak and could be easily taken down if he tries anything." The Prince closed his book and stared at the frail Wyatt. "He won't be a threat, we also know he has most likely no one out there looking for him, it wouldn't be hard for him to 'disappear' from the world." The Prince opened his book again and took his gaze back to his book.

"Excuse my son, Mercury is quite advanced for his age. You both seem the same age, he knows his stuff." The King said quietly. "Wyatt, you may live here with our permission. Be wise with our decision as we won't hesitate to end you if you tried anything." The King waved the three away and they left.

The Knights wished Wyatt luck and left saying that they would look out for anyone similar to Wyatt. Wyatt was stared at by all the peasant folks who had these charms as well on their cheeks that were different types of Plants, thus began Wyatt's not so bright welcome in Spade Kingdom as he sat on the floor leaning against the building in a little ball.

Timeskip to 13 days later

It was the same everyday, Wyatt sat there while everyone stared or ignored him as they walked by with their whole families while Wyatt just sighed wishing to go back home with his family like he used to. His thoughts were interrupted by someone clearing their throat causing Wyatt to look up and see a boy his age with red hair with some green streaks with only one single charm on his right cheek that was a rose. The boy had a white button up shirt with brown suspenders with some brown khakis, he gave Wyatt a gentle smile as he hid something behind his back.
