Chapter 519 - Tale of Rain Part (1/2)
Twelve years ago Rain Kingdom Year 40..
What--what? What is that? Is that girl really human, she looks like a fairy. Despite her worn out and plain looking dress Rhys could not help but be mesmerized. Right now the girl and the older man with her were speaking to his grandfather.
”Rhys, what are you doing?” The voice belonged to his third brother.
”Third brother who is that fai--that girl?” Rhys quickly corrected himself.
Isaki looked over and chuckled. ”Ah so that young girl is coming today?”
”Who is she?” Rhys said impatiently. If he doesn't hear a name he will genuinely start to believe that she is a fairy.
”She is royalty from the Mist Kingdom, due to unusual circ.u.mstances she has to stay here for a while. She is two years younger than you and would make a good playmate, her name is Lyn.”
A noble girl from the Mist Kingdom? The people living there do they all have such fair skin and beauty? Rhys has never met a girl like this before so he did not know what to think. Rhys felt a dark aura from behind them and turned to see his second brother.
”You two--..”
”Oh hey Ruki.”
”Don't hey me, didn't you say you wanted to help me train the soldiers? Rhys you said it would be interesting to watch and join in.”
Right was that today? Actually he was on his way but ended up distracted by the girl. He supposes he could speak with her later.

After he sent Lyn away to her new room, decided to have tea with the old man. The King of the Mist Kingdom was in the middle of a huge dilemma. They barely got here in one piece and got chased along the way.
He made sure Lyn wore clothes that did not stand out and he did the same but people still found out. It seems those people won't let him go but why would they? Right now he is being framed for the countless deaths happening in the Kingdom and the pandemic.
”It seems you did not have an easy time getting here. I should have sent somebody to fetch you.”
Osma shook his head. ”I appreciate the concern but that would have only attracted more attention. Besides this is supposed to be a secret.”
”I have already informed everybody in the palace. Thankfully the King will be away for some time.”
”I appreciate this. I...did not know what else to do.”
When the council found evidence that he was the culprit Osma did not know what to do. For the first time he was at a loss. But the first thing that came to his mind was to protect his family. To protect that young girl who people treat as a curse.
It was one of the first things Orthez mentioned too.
”You say that girl has a mark like a curse that reacts to dark magic?”
Osma nodded. ”For the past five years I have tried to investigate this but could not come up with anything. I thought you would have a better understanding..” He trailed off when he realized what he just said. ”Apologies.”
