Always (Claude De Alger Obelia)

Twenty

He was a child from a fallen kingdom, he was one of the parent-less children caused by the kingdoms and land getting conquered by the great empire of Obelian

His name was Theodore Zephyr

He was only a child even everything was taken away from him

He was only a child when he realize he couldn't protect everything important to him

He was only a child when he felt how cruel the world was to him

He hated the being above for letting him leave that way

But as if mocking him, the first one to held a hand for him was a priest, but he was in no position to refuse, for during those times if it ain't sickness that would kill him, it would be hunger

Accepting the hand of the follows of the being he loathed the most was the hardest thing for him to do, but he needed a place to stay, a good meal

Though it didn't took him too long why they did bring him in there

"That child is overflowing with aura"

"He could be the aide for the Saintess"

Once again everything was because of that Saintess

He doesn't really mind

He was just minding his own business

Years to come, his childish grudge about the Goddess did fade. He just realize maybe that's just how things goes on for person like him, meant to be used and lost the one who matter the most to them

During his training on becoming a holy knight he didn't manage to escape the discrimination from his fellow trainee holy knights messing around his things, letting him stuffs, beating him once in a while

He didn't do anything about it, he knew he was much stronger than them, after all

"Such a shame for you to be one of the candidates soon to be chosen to be appointed to serve her holiness"

"How could a low class like you stand right beside her holiness?"

In the end it was always about that person

He doesn't even know about her

He did hear about her once in awhile coming to the temple but he never really saw her, nor tried to saw her

"This suck"

He grit his teeth as he kick a random pebble on the ground
