It had escalated beyond control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What nonsense is that? I had just hit her once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young lord raised his voice in annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could someone die from that?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the mask was fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter who he killed...

Commoner, do you want to die too?\" The noble kid began to move towards Soi, but was stopped by the guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might have felt the fear of the possible consequences of his actions... But his ego blinded him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, the lord won’t be happy.\" An elder guard in his forties tried to reason with their young lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing about his father seemed to have knocked some sense into the kid, as he turned to leave the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears began to spill from Soi’s eyes as he looked at Nina’s lifeless body. He had to at least take her to the orphanage for a proper funeral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soi turned to look at Noah, but his pupils dilated the moment he laid his gaze on the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah had gripped a stone in his hand, his gaze never leaving the retreating figure of the young noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noah, sto—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thwack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argghh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone landed squarely on the young lord’s face, blood spilling from his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearby guards had been tense due to the death of the little girl. Most of them were engrossed in thought, trying to find possible solutions to remedy the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That had led them to become negligent, as their senses couldn’t track the projectile that was hurled at their lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the other thing being, none of them expected the commoners to gather the courage to harm a noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young master?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lie down quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards panicked as blood flowed continuously from the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soi, seeing the situation getting out of hand, moved before the guards could turn their attention toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood close to Noah, his knees on the ground, as he mimicked the act of throwing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soi, what are you—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up for a moment, please!\" Soi let out a forced whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the guards confirmed their master’s condition, their attention shifted toward the culprit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they looked back, all they could see was the older of the two boys on the ground, his hands holding another batch of stones, ready to attack them at a moment’s notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two guards moved to teach the kid another lesson, but the senior guard had another thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring him with us.

Didn’t he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soi too had a look of realization, but now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Noah, hey! Listen to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soi turned to face Noah, who had a lost look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soi shook him by his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Take Nina to the orphanage. I will try to make it back as soon as possible.

Is that clear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah stood frozen for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sniff... Yes, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soi’s gaze hardened as he looked into Noah’s lifeless eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could talk further, the guards grabbed Soi by his neck and picked him up from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey!\" Noah tried to raise his voice but was stopped by Soi’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then moved towards where Nina was and bent down to check on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though from Soi’s reaction he could tell that Nina was probably dead... He wanted to see for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard who had grabbed Soi chopped at his neck to knock the boy out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving a final glance at the two kids, the guards, along with the noble kids, left the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah just sat there, holding Nina’s body close to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered Soi’s instructions, but his body felt too heavy to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah felt lost about the entire ordeal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had just wanted to enjoy today like all other kids...

Huff...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah abruptly woke up from his sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa... Haa...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept taking deep breaths to steady his heart, which was beating like crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same dream...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been ten years since he kept dreaming the same thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No! It wasn’t a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a nightmare for Noah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nightmare that he wished to forget, but the memory was so deep that it refused to leave his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina had died that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah had carried her to the orphanage in hopes of saving her. His mind knew that she was dead, but his heart refused to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He begged several healers to salvage the situation through any means possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But reality had already made itself clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina was dead...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only he had been stronger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah wanted to grieve for her death, to let himself suffer for his incompetence...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still had other things to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a day since the funeral, but Soi didn’t return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noah had waited for him... He went to the authorities, demanding Soi’s release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer he received was the last point that completely broke him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soi had been brought to the authorities for investigation, but he had mysteriously disappeared from the jail the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A search was sent for him...
