Corrupted soul

Explaining the situation

Kenta sat down on the massive size bed and stared absentmindedly through the window viewing the beautiful scenery of the garden outside. However, "Hey! Kenta are you awake?" a beautiful voice continued calling him from behind the door.

Seeing that he sighed once before getting off the bed. Even though he would much rather stay in bed a bit longer he knew that voice wouldn't stop calling him until he answered. He then slowly opened the wooden door.

The person that appeared before the door was of course Ellen, her silver hair fluttered gracefully along with a sweet scent. Her skin looked radiant with the sun light illuminating through the window behind her. She was extremely cute to the point that many would have their hearts stolen with a single glance.

By appearance she was probably only a few years older than him, but Kenta was unaffected by her charm on the contrary his indifferent expression hadn't even wavered in the slightest.

"Is there something you want?" he asks getting straight to the point to figure out her purpose of visiting him so early in the morning.

Hearing his question she showed a small smile, "We are going to have breakfast soon so, I was planning to interduce you to the others while we eat. Does that sound good?" she asks while keeping her smile on her face however-

"I refuse, I have no intention or desire to get along with anyone here. Now if that's all I'll be going back to sleep." he said with an indifferent tone there was no annoyance nor was there any detest present in his voice judging by his expression Ellen guess he really had no interest in accepting her invitation. Her radiant smile was then turned into a small frown with a vex look on her face.

Seeing that Kenta judge that his words had got through to her and quickly turned his back to go back inside his room when.

"Wait!" Ellen suddenly grabbed his left hand.

"Eh..." Kenta raised a surprised voice when he had felt the sensation of his left arm being grabbed, he then turned his head to look at Ellen who had thwart his movement. "Is there something else you needed?" he asks tilting his head curiously.

"Huh? Ah... well you see, will you have lunch with me?" she said with a shrill voice, it seems she was greatly flustered by her own actions as her face was bright red from embarrassment.

Kenta stared at her for a few seconds before heaving a troubled sigh.

"Fine, let's have lunch. But that's all." he said calmly before shaking his hands to forcefully free himself. Hearing his words Ellen's expression lit up like Christmas trees.

Though Kenta thought this was a complete pain he really didn't have the slightest intention of getting along with the children of this orphanage once he had gained enough experience to move alone, he is going to leave as soon as possible.

'I need to get strong' he thought he needed power in order to avenge his parents he swore he wouldn't forgive those who had stolen the warm happiness from him, and so he will live become strong and make those bastards pay.

That dream he had last night was probably a message for him to keep moving forward.
"Great! Can't wait! I'm sure you'll change your mind once you meet everyone." Ellen said as she jumps for joy completely ignorant of Kenta's inner thoughts.

Kenta kept his indifferent look as he returned to his room. Inside another room located on the top layer of the mansion was a small room though there were expensive items there. A gorgeous painting of the mansion's owner was hanging gracefully on the white ceiling walls.

"Well then is it okay for me to asks the circumstance of the boy?" A dignified woman who seems to be in her late thirties was seated around a small wooden table.

Her voice was like clear melody to any who heard it. Michael who was seated before her started to explain how he came across Kenta while he was in the capital.

The explanation took only 10 minutes for him to give the general gist of thing surrounding the boy.

Hearing the explanation, she could only sigh gloomily hearing the misfortune that had befell young Kenta, being executed due to tax was a common thing. It was so common that she was greatly concern about the direction this Kingdom was headed.

"The royal family seems to be increasing the tax fees once a month eventually there will be more kids who will suffer as well." She said with a slightly conflicted face. Hearing her words Michael, also had a stern face while nodding his head.

"Thats not all I, must tell you to keep an eye on this boy to make sure he doesn't go down the wrong path." he said with a bitter face.

"Hmm... wrong path? What do you mean? Care to elaborate?" she asks confused by his words.

"He seems to have a big hatred towards the upper class." he said recalling the wordKenta had said to him before. Hearing his explanation, a look of understanding fell over her face.

"I see so does that means he wants revenge?" she asks tilting her head to the side, Michael confirmed her words with a nod of his head.

'Indeed, something like that is very unwise to get revenge he will be incurring the wrath of the royal family. They will have him beheaded as a form of warning to make sure no such fools try anything like this again.'

So far there has been only three people who were brave enough to go against the royal family. But all of them were killed before they could achieve any good results. They simply wasted away their lives.

They're going to have to let him know how bad it is to hold grudges against the royal family before the boy grows up while being obsessed with his thoughts of vengeance. She once again heaved a heavy sigh to expel her worries.

Michael only showed a wry smile seeing his older sister in that state. Though he did feel greatly troubled to suddenly cause his sister withe such unexpected responsibility. he didn't want her to be over work by giving her more work than she can handle.

He then made a contemplative expression as though thinking of many ways to lessen her burdens, as though clearly seeing through his thoughts she cleared her throat with a cough.

"Well then, I should get things ready for today. I'm sure everyone is already awake by now." she said getting up from her chair Michael also got to his feet preparing to leave.

"By the way you're going out today again, right?" she asks, Michael nodded his head in responds.

"I have a meeting with your majesty today." he said calmly.

"Oh, I see, well then see you later." she said before walking out the room. Michael stared at her back before leaving after her.
