Chapter 395 - Side Story (Dimitri)(1) (2/2)
”DO… NOT… TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER LIKE THAT!!!” Dimitri said while punching the boy on the face.
The boy started to bleed. The other children tried to pry Dimitri off the boy.
”Hey get off!”
”He is so strong!”
”Get him off fast. He is bleeding.”
The children that tried to pull Dimitri off of the boy were either thrown away with Dimitri's elbows or were still trying to stop him from grabbing his arms. These children were bigger than the five year old Dimitri but was not able to stop his strength.
”Dimitri!” Dimitri's mother's voice was heard. Dimitri stopped after hearing his mother calling out to him.
”Mother?” Dimitri looked at his shock stricken mother.
”Come, get off of him quick.” His mother pulled him off the boy that was bleeding.
The other children helped the bleeding boy up.
”The village leader will know of what happened to his son.” One boy said and carried the bleeding boy back to the direction of the village.
”What happened Dimitri?” His mother asked. ”It took you a long time to fetch some water and when I came to get you, you are fighting with the village leader's son. Did I not tell you to just stay silent whatever they say to you?” She was wiping dirt from Dimitri's face.
”I did just that mother, but…” Dimitri trailed off.
”But what?” His mother asked.
”…but they are saying bad things about you.” Dimitri said with a sullen face. ”It is fine whatever they tell about me, but I will not let them say bad things about you.”
”Oh Dimitri.” His mother hugged his little body. ”I love you my baby boy, but you do not have to do that for me. I am your mother, I should be the one protecting you. Promise me that this will not happen again, okay? Promise me.” Dimitri was little hesitant at first but nodded his little head.
”I promise.” Dimitri said.
”Oh my little boy.” His mother hugged him more. ”I am just doing this for us to live peacefully here.”
Dimitri started to shed tears feeling his mother's warmth. The children's words still hurt him, and he detest the black hair and eyes that he has. Because of him, his mother was having a hard time.
”Why was I not born with normal features mother?” Dimitri asked. ”Why do I look like this? Who is my father?”
”Your father… he is someone who has a high rank.” His mother said.
”If he is someone who has a high rank, then why did he leave us here?” Dimitri asked.
”I will tell you when the time comes, my baby boy.” His mother said with tears falling from her eyes. ”When you grow up, I will tell you about your father, okay? So hush now.”
The mother and son walked hand in hand going home to their house.
