I Reincarnated As One Of The Best Friend Of Rival Character In Otome game

Act 21: Daniel

Daniel picture as an adult

The memory keeps flooding because this is my third time. I only feel a little dizzy. The boy in front of me is Daniel the cold blood assassin. In this world, commoner does not have a family name. Thus, this boy name is only Daniel. He was an orphan his family died in the war. Later he will be kidnapped and trained as an assassin. He has been taught to kill at a tender age but. If you play his route then you will know how cold blooded this person is, he confess to the heroine he hates this world for taking his family and the people especially the noble for become the reason his family died,when he was in the assassin guild, many noble need his service and when he work with them he can see the noble true nature. For the money, status and power they willing to kill their own sibling and did other terrible things.

As assassins, he was trained to kill his emotion and the heroine was the one who make him have his emotion back. How did he fall for the heroine? It was cliche, the heroine found him badly wounded and help him. She bandages his wound and takes care of him until he was cured. Daniel route is one of the easiest routes. His storyline is also short, there were not much information about him. In the end, if it was a good ending, the heroine will quit school and run away with Daniel. If it was a bad ending, she will be kill by the rival character.

His adult character is a very handsome man. Actually, all the male lead is very handsome and has high prospect. However, Daniel in front of him looks nothing like his adult character besides his green eyes and black hair. It was my first time seeing black hair and i remember my past life. How do i recognize him? The memory keeps rushing into my head that why i know this is Daniel. I keep staring at him

"Err..thank you" He says with a low voice. I snap from my trance

"Y-yeah..your welcome. What's your name" I ask

"Daniel" He replies

"Can you stand up?" I ask

"Yeah..no don't touch me" He flinch when i try to help him get up

"Hei that's rude. Trisha sama only want to help you" Asley say with angry tone

"That not what i mean..you clothes will get dirty" He reply with his blank face

"Oh..it;s okay i can wash the cloth if it gets dirty" I help him get up

When he was standing i can see how dirty and skinny he look. He was smaller than me, his black hair was dull and messy, his wear oversize and torn cloth, he skin was cover with dirt and bruise. He looks pitiful especially his eyes. There were dull and lifeless.

"What happened" I ask Dean

"He steals from that man so he beat the boy" Dean reply

"Did you steal from that man?" I ask

" I didn't, i was hungry and bump into him. He's money was missing and thought that i stole his money so he beat me. But i swear i did not steal if you don't believe me you can check" Daniel explain

"You brat steal my money" The man say. He looks soberer now

" I didn't check there's nowhere to hide your money" He shake his clothes to show that he have nothing to hide

"Then where did my money go" That man ask

" I don't know" Daniel answer. He keeps his face expressionless

Then a woman came and interfere with the fight" What's going on" The woman ask. She was the man acquaintance

"That brat stole my money" The man accused Daniel

"I did not" Daniel say calmly

The woman hit the man head

" Why did you hit me" The man ask angrily

"You idiot, you spend all your money on alcohol" The woman yell

"W-what i did no-" He stops saying and tried to remember.

" Ha-haha this was a misunderstanding" The man laugh awkwardly

"What do you mean misunderstanding, you beat the boy until his body full of bruise and you want to brush this off as a misunderstand," I say coldly

"I didn't mean to hit him" The man say,

"How are you going to compensate him" I ask looking coldly at that man

"W-well it none of your business" The man want to avoid from taking responsible

"Wha-" Before Ashley can finish speaking she was interrupt

"Just forget it" Daniel say calmly. He looks like he did not care

"See, the kid say to forget it" The man have a smug face

"True he say forget it but i will not, Dean take him to the prison and give appropriate punishment" I look at Dean

"Who the hell you think you are brat" The man yell at me

"I'm the lord daughter," I say calmly. The man looks shocked. He must though i was just a normal rich kid

"Yes ojousama" Dean ask the patrolling guard that just arrived to drag the man

The man tried to put a fight but in the end, he was still been drag. I turn to look at Daniel

"Where's your family," I ask him

"Dead" He says with cold tone

"I'm sorry to hear that"

"......"

Where do you live" i ask again

"At the refugee camp"

"Does the refugee camp did not give you food?" I ask curiously. I heard from father that a lot of money were spent on the refugee food. But when i look at Daniel he looks like he did not eat for a long time

"At first, we were given food but..it stops a week ago" Daniel look down

What the hell? something is wrong, i need to tell father " So what did you eat if the food were not given"

"Sometimes the people would take pity and give me their scrap and i tried to find food from the garbage" He mumbled

"Oh my god" Ashley look shocked. she feels sympathetic for Daniel

"I don't need your pity..this is just how the world work" Daniel smirk. He looks like he already gives up

At that moment, i feel really sympathetic and maybe because i know what will happen later to Daniel i feel he was more pitiful. So i did a foolish thing but i did not regret it

"Do you want to come with me" The word just came out from my mouth. He looks shocked

"Trisha-sama what will master Reynold say" Ashley say almost yelling. I just brush him off

" I will give you food and a place to stay" I say again. He faces still look emotionless and he look hesitated

"I will be your family" I add. At that time i don't know why i say that, all i know i want him to accept my offer

When i say that, although his face still blanks but he somehow look happy. His lifeless eyes seem a bit lively

"Yes" He accepts it

"That great now let's go" I smile at him and grab his hand. He hesitated at first then he holds my hand back as we make our way to the carriage. Dean and Ashley sigh then smile wryly before follow us

Without Trisha realize she had create her own harem..Here i want to give my gratitude and thanks to all the people who read, comment and votes this story. I hope you continue to read and like this story. Enjoy ^_^
