3 Terms and Conditions (2/2)

Suddenly, Olivia tackled Axel over as she began an unrelenting onslaught of questions. Axel made sure to slowly adjust the distance between her and himself before he proceeded to answer her questions.

As time went by, what was once a Q&A session between Olivia and Axel, quickly became a competition to see who would fail at answering.

With a giggle, Olivia said, ”Axel, What's your real name?”

The air froze as Axel's expression took a quick 180. He stared at her with an expressionless face and said, ”What ever do you mean, miss?”

Olivia shuddered as she could feel something she's never felt before. Emptiness. All she could see radiating from the once clear spring was a void of emptiness.

Olivia forced a smile and said, ”A-Axel, I was just kidding, Okay?”

Axel slightly smiled an empty smile and stood up. Olivia said, ”What are you doing?” However, Axel said nothing in return as he packed his gear up and left.

Olivia reached a hand out and was about to call out when she retracted it and said nothing. The old man only sighed before he muttered, ”Ahhh, Youth…”

Axel was walking off, making sure he was just between the barrier. While walking, he began to find something wrong with himself. He muttered, ”Why did I leave like that...”

Suddenly an intense headache struck Axel as he was forced to take a knee. After a couple minutes he stood up as he sighed before he said, ”No wonder…”

The reason he had a headache was him recalling the prince's memories. Once, he had snuck away from the castle when he was young and healthy. He played with the commoner kids and ate the commoner food. As he was playing, he discovered something. This life was way more fun then being a prince. Being a prince required having to live a certain way and only do certain things but he didn't like it. He liked the feeling of being free.

However, It didn't last long. Once, he had told his group of friends that he was using a fake name. Being kids, they grew curious and asked and the prince told them. Then word got around. People ambushed the group and killed the other kids before kidnapping the prince. He was later rescued by his father's second in command but he slapped the prince's face and left in disgust.

Ever since then, a deep yet forgotten trauma was made.

Axel only wryly smiled before continuing his walk. He thought for awhile as he walked before he said, ”System, Can you show me my skills?”

The screen appeared in front of Axel's view, so he decided to sit down and read.

The screen said, [Skills: Cooking, Appraisal Magic, Nature Magic, Harvesting]

”System, can you do a detailed explanation on them?” Asked Axel. He had a rough idea of what each skill did but he wanted to be sure.

The screen disappeared and reappeared with different information.

Axel jumped to his feet as he screamed, ”AM I SUPPOSED TO BE A FARMER!?!”
