Chapter 88 - Hopeless? (1/2)
After the banquet Seth was now sitting in a room with Tesoro, Carina, Baccarat and Dice. Tesoro then spoke ”So Mr. Seth I would like to know what business you have here that needs my assistance.”
Seth was still sipping his wine then said ”I would like you to become one of my commanders”
Tesoro was dumbfounded hearing Seth's words, he spaced out for a second and had a fake smile on his face ”Please stop joking Mr. Seth”
”Hmm? Who told you that I'm joking Tesoro? Don't get too excited I still haven't finished speaking”
Tesoro cursed inside his mind (Excited?! you think I was excited hearing your words earlier?)
Seth then continued ”Of course If you become my commander I will help you with anything you want, So tell me what is something that you want that you couldn't get.”
Tesoro was now again shocked (Is there anything in the entire world that he couldn't get?) he was still thinking when suddenly he remembered a girl from his past. He couldn't help but tear up remembering this.
He smiled at Seth and said ”I'm sorry Mr. Seth but the thing that I wanted the most is now gone”
”Oh? How can you be sure that what you want is already gone?” Seth asked.
Tesoro gritted his teeth and said with tears in his eyes ”Because she was bought by a celestial dragon, after 2 years I heard that she died from being abused.” Tesoro couldn't help but cry after remembering the girl that he loved.
---FLASHBACK---
A young Tesoro was now leaning on a cell, there was a blonde girl behind the cell bars comforting Tesoro.
”The song was nice, keep on singing Tesoro because one day you will become a big star” Stella said.
Tesoro smiled at her and said with conviction ”Don't worry Stella, I will keep on singing so that I could buy you.”
Stella smiled hearing Tesoro ”I will be waiting for that day to come Tesoro.”
---END OF FLASHBACK----
Tesoro was now clutching his head because he hated himself for being so poor, he couldn't even buy the only person he ever loved and now it was all too late. The only person who believed in him was already gone.
Seth then started pondering for a moment and said ”Say Tesoro, do you want to go to Mary Geoise and confirm your lovers death?”
Tesoro looked at Seth with eyes wide open and smiled wearily ”What's the use of going there? and do you think we could possible escape after barging inside Mary Geoise?”
”Don't worry about the small stuff, What I want to know is if you want to go to Mary Geoise to confirm your lovers death? well you didn't see her body right? then there's a chance that she's still alive that is if you want to find it out or not. Maybe she's just waiting for you to come and save her all this time”
When Tesoro heard Seth's last sentence he stopped crying, he stared blankly at his hands (yes, he is right I didn't saw her body all I heard were just rumors! maybe Stella is really alive and is waiting for me to save her all this time) Tesoro thought while clutching his head.
he looked at Seth seriously and said ”Mr. Seth if you accompany me to Mary Geoise I promise you that I will join your crew even if Stella is dead or alive.”
