Chapter 13 Chapter: 013 Treasure Hunt Part 1 (1/2)

After the announcement during dinner and that the Miller family would come the next day to discuss the engagement between Elijah and Layla. Elijah ran to his room and on the way, he could see a boy crying in the garden of the mansion.

He remembered what his sister had told him about the son of a servant named Philip that his grandfather had taken as a disciple, as he also had fallen in love with Layla when he had gone to Cooper Town with his master.

Then, Philip had sent several letters and requests for marriage but was always ignored, and now, she is coming to discuss her engagement with his young master who is still six years old of her own will.

Kid, go talk with him, if you let him like this he can become a threat in the future. Just repeat what I say” Elijah heard Shadow's voice on his head.

After hearing what shadow said he approached Philip and said. ”Philip, are you okay? i saw you were a depressed, and I thought to come talk with you”

Feeling someone approaching Philip turned around and saw Elijah watching him with a sympathetic look. ”Young Master? you don't need to worry, i just need some time alone.”

”Kid, now say this to him...” ”Master, i think this is a bit to much to say to him.” Shadow seeing that Elijah was not conviced, she began to explain ”it is better that he lose all his hope, because even if you don't marry her others will, and if he don'trealize this soon. He could make a choice that will destroy his life. You don't want anyone die because of this, do you?”

”Okay Master, I understand now.” Realizing that this is the best way to solve this. Elijah said in a cold voice to Philip.

”Philip! this is just a proposal of engagement, it's not like i will realy marry her.”

Listening to the first half, Philip's eyes lit up with hope, but that quickly fell apart as Elijah continued to speak.

”But even if I do not marry her, how many people do you think that love her as you do, and in the end you think you stand a chance with a girl who does not even remember you exist? and if she fall in love, what would you do, invade her marriage by claiming that she belongs to you because you love her for more time than her lover? or you would try to kill her or do something worse, so no one could have her other than you?

No matter what you do, you will lose so why care about things like pride and face. it's better if you search for someone who has fellings for you too than force your love on a girl who don't feel anything for you. I already said everything i need so go to bed and remember what i said.”

Then Elijah turned and left behind a boy still thinking about what his young master had told him.

...

Arriving in his bedroom Elijah saw Chloe sleeping on his bed again. ”This girl...” then he took the blanket and covered her. ”Master, bring me to Dark Space, i want to train a little before the tresure hunt tomorrow and you said time does flows ten times faster there.”
