Trelos had discovered many things lately: his fondness for killing those who misbehaved (in his perspective), the darkest secrets of his father, the diary that had changed the life of the lawyer, and his exotic taste in food; which led him to think hard about what was repeated each morning
-I almost got to that age where many things are decided, I almost do not know the world and I must know what to spend the rest of my life; My father is a lawyer and that allows him to continue with his passion without being discovered, so I must find something that allows me to continue with mine ... -
He was lost in thought; not knowing what to do. He had never attended school, but he had received all his proper education at home; His father was a scholar in almost everything, so he had no problem teaching him what he needed. He was not fond of laws, though he thought they were quite useful. However, his lack of enthusiasm for the subject would not allow him to continue along the path of the major.
He asked his father
-What should I do?-
-You could be a lawyer; You could be the best lawyer, but I know you do not care much about the profession ... I can not think of anything. However, it's been too long since you stepped past these lands. I think you'd better figure out the answer by yourself. You must visit the city-
The young man didn't believe what he heard. After so many years he would go to the city, he would see the world.
-Truly? All right! When do we leave?-
-It will not be us, Trelos. It will be just you-
This news alarmed the young man. He could take care of himself ... in a small house ... in the middle of the forest ... in a place where there was nobody. He was not sure he was ready for that. This insecurity was transmitted directly to his face, the lawyer realized and decided to explain his reasons
-Trelos, I became independent at an early age. It was only a year younger than you when Emma, my adoptive mother, died. I was inexperienced in many things, which I did not understand until two years later. But you ... You're a genius. You're much more of a man than I was at your age. I fully trust your ability; It's time for you to learn to trust in yourself- he concluded.
In the afternoon, Trelos prepared his things, receiving some advice from his father and listening intently. Among these tips ran the typical "if it's cold, cover yourself well", "do not give your full confidence to anybody", "treat everyone well, it does not matter if they are the highest officials or the poorest beggars", "if you see a girl, don't be shy and speak without fear with her. " Finally, the lawyer hurried out of the room, and on his return, he carried a box containing a blue-toned frock, black shoes, and a very elegant silk-lined hat; These would be the clothes that he should use on special occasions.
It was about 11 pm when he finished preparing his clothes. The lawyer had a property in the city and provided the keys to the young man so that he could enter and guard at night. He gave him some money, what he needed to buy food, provide some services, and give himself some luxuries.
He left at 12:00 past meridian. The forest was full of darkness and, despite being summer, the classic cool weather of the dawn appeared. The only companies of Trelos were a small candle lantern and his suitcase. He followed the path that the eldest had given him, occasionally looking at the sky to admire the stars and laying on the soil for a few moments to rest; He had never been good at enduring such a long walk; not like his father. After a few hours he managed to see the city, the sun still didn't appear and that would allow him to reach the house without being seen.
He looked at the city where he once begged, it seemed there has passed more than six years! With some difficulties, he managed to find the place; it was quite far from the center, in an area where there were very few houses. It was a big house, it looked like a castle. As he entered, he found a beautiful entrance hall leading to wide staircases that, when they reached the break, were divided into the sides, to create a space that connected to the second floor. He went to the bedroom, he was exhausted and, as he had the rest of the trip for being able to walk around the luxurious location, he went to sleep. He needed to rest and think about all the possibilities.
