Dawn's Destiny

Chasing Memories Till There's No More ~ Chapter 128

"Come on... why doesn't this stain come out from the ground!?" Magnus asked as he kept sweeping. Then he heard footsteps. He put the mop away and hopped onto his bed. He was reading a book about martial arts.

"Magnus? Is everything alright here?" Eliza asked. Magnus nodded as Eliza noticed the wet spot on the ground. "Magnus what did you spill?"

Magnus sighed, "Mama, I spilled some apple juice on the ground and wanted to clean up the mess but it didn't work..." Magnus looked down at himself in sadness as Eliza smiled down at him. Gently patting him on the back.

"Aww, Mag you don't need to worry about anything," Eliza replied with a smile. She looked down and started to clean the mess Magnus had created. Magnus watched as Eliza finished up cleaning as Maximus came by. "Eliza what are you doing?!"

Eliza replied, "Honey, I'm just cleaning up the mess little Mangus left on the ground." Maximus looked at Magnus and then back at Eliza. "Is Milo calling?" Maximus nodded as Eliza dashed out of the room.

Magnus asked, "What do you need, papa?" He sat on the bed with Maximus as he looked away for a slight moment. Magnus looked at him in confusion as Maximus took a long deep breath.

"Kid, I just need you to stay out of trouble, I'm sick and tired of trying to stop you from getting in trouble but it doesn't really seem to work," Maximus explained. Magnus looked at Maximus and then back down at himself.

"I am really that bad of a kid, papa?" He felt himself wanting to cry but Maximus patted him gently on the shoulder.

Maximus asked, "A bad kid?! Most certainly not, I'm not sure what you're implying but you never are a bad kid? You are a lot more tolerable than the others. I'm supposed to be next in line to take the Upton leader role. I'm just not sure if I'm ready kiddo." Magnus sat there staring at him as he thought about his grandfather.

"Papa, you'll be fine! I know you're going to be the best leader possible!" Magnus yelled. Maximus looked down at him and took a long sigh. "Come on, you got this!" Magnus hugged his father tightly as Maximus smiled down at him. Gently hugging him in the process

"Thanks for cheering me up kiddo, I'm certain when it's your turn to become just like me, everyone is going to treat you like you're supposed to be," Maximus laughed. Magnus smiled at Maximus as the two proceeded to play with one another.

Meanwhile Eliza asked, "Did you need anything from me Milo?" She bowed down to Milo and he looked down at her. Milo sat there staring at her as he did a long sigh. He placed his hand on the handlebar and smiled at Eliza.

"I got one thing for you, hija," Milo replied. Eliza nodded as she got herself ready. "All the other ladies are cleaning the dining table for dinner. Necesito que me ayudes también."

Eliza replied, "Yes of course." She walked into the dining room and helped the other housemaids to fix the table up.

"Liza! How is it going?"

"It's going fine, not a lot has been happening with my family and Maximus is getting stressed out about being the next person in line to take the leader's role. Milo is his father and he's just really scared he won't be able to do the same," Eliza explained. "¿Qué hay de ti Liza?"

Liza replied, "Nada, nada. My family has been the same all the time and Leo is just more and more mad at everything I do."

"Why!? Leo is so nice, why is he treating you like that?"

"Eliza, está estresado como el infierno," She replied. Eliza took a deep breath and then continued cleaning the dining table. Liza helped Eliza clean as the two kept quiet for a moment. Then Eliza had something else to say to her friend.

Eliza whispered, "Liza, I'm worried for Magnus. Milo dice that he's going to take him somewhere. You know the story of the prince of Ylisse being kidnapped and experimented on right? Milo tiene lazos with them and I'm scared he's going to hurt my baby..."

"Ay, you're being too scared Eliza. Milo isn't going to do that. He loves his grandson more than anything, why would he make him suffer?"

"You make a point..." Then the two continued on their work. Magnus stood there staring at the family portrait he had of his family. His mother and father were crossed out from the picture. Magnus took a long deep breath and stuck a knife through it.

Magnus muttered, "So much for a family. They let my grandfather take me as they let mi papá take over the leader role? Now he died due to the fourth house fire in our history and THAT'S WHEN Milo decides to free me and crown me the leader of the Upton liege?!" He shoved the family photo in a drawer and then slammed his head on the table.

However, he couldn't mourn forever. He picked up his gun and then left the building. He was going to find a way to harm the heroes. He was going to start a new future in the Upton liege, making sure there was nobody that was going to withstand them.
