Bell the white core mage (Being rewritten)

A careful observation

Freya POV

Oh, you dear beautiful boy. How you overcome each and every challenge thrown your way never ceases to impress me. To think you would be a Leywin on top of everything else. Well, I guess it does explain the talent you have for magic. But no you had to take it a step further and use aether to fix your legs. You did something only one percent of mortals can do if even that.

But those girls need to mind their space with you. Or do you enjoy the attention they bring? Hmm, I guess I could incorporate them in my plans if it'll bring you to me. But I wonder. Where did you come from?

Who is this grandfather that seemed to brighten your eyes each time you mention him? Or this aunt you mention with hesitation. Are you afraid of her? Or are you afraid of people finding out who she is?

No need to worry my dear I won't push you away. You are not your family whoever they may be. Oh, how I wished I used my divine mirror when you arrived. I just want to know everything about you.

Your interests. Your hobbies. Things you like or don't like. Hmm, what's this?

Oh looks like you're going to Rye's school. Why you and not Maria? I then switched my divine mirror over from the boy to the church.

So it seems the other two are sick. What's this? Is that the boy's dog watching over them? Ugh, this dog where have I seen you before? You look so familiar yet I can't figure out why. Where have I seen you before?

No matter I'll figure it out eventually. I then switched back to the boy. Oh taking on a brotherly role it seems. Heh yes, Rye was never the best artist.

Oh, so you're the mysterious donor. Maria was pretty tight-lipped about who gave her the money. You seem to care for these kids. But why? You haven't mentioned your parents in your tales of growing up.

So are you like them? An orphan?

Oh looks like you're staying. Very well then I shall stay too. I then watched him for hours as he stood in the back of the classroom a smile on his cute face as Rye answered almost all of the questions correctly. Hmm, maybe I should invite Rye to my familia when he's of age.

Oh, what's this they've stopped walking. Aw, how sweet Rye wants to be like Bell.

Hmm, a deal to make sure Rye stays in school very smart of you Bell. I then watched as the two continued their walk back to the church.

"Bell what was your life like before you came to Orario" Rye asked.

"Well let's see my grandpa raised me for the first seven years of my life and it was peaceful. Then my aunt showed up and turned everything upside down. I started to train and for seven years got my ass kicked. Then gramps died of old age and disease got my aunt a year later" Bell replied.

"Oh so you're like us then"

"You mean an orphan? Yeah. Mother died in childbirth and dad died before I was born"

"Is that why you help us? Is it because you feel bad for us"

"No, I helped you because it was the right thing to do. Also, I want you kids to have a somewhat normal life. A life where you make your own decisions based on what you want not what you need"

Rye was quiet for a moment as he pondered Bell's words. "I'm glad you're our big brother Bell"

"I'm glad I am too. I've always wanted siblings"

They then stopped at the entrance to the church. "Now let's go see if Maria is awake and is doing well. I'll see if Nazha is available to check on the kids" Bell said as he pushed open the door.
