Volume 1 prologue (2/2)
Since then, I prayed for the safety of Aria every day and was dying for some self-discipline. It was something I knew when I started training. That boy was a “Brave Man”. I wanted to become a brave and not lose anymore. During this process, I also went to the adventurer's guild and registered. I aimed to extend my strength.
However, if something was weak, it couldn’t suddenly become strong. I had no talent. No matter how I tried hard I was only slightly above average. Nevertheless, it took about two years for me to become stronger and more confident in my strength.
Not long before I turned fifteen, the news was passed around the world.
“The brave party defeated the demon king!”
This news filled the world with delight. Still, I was full of anxiety until I confirmed the safety of Aria with my own eyes. A while after the news had passed through, the brave party returned to the kingdom. It seemed that they came back reporting their safe return and the suppression of the demon kingdom.
When a brave party passed through the kingdom, a flashy parade event was held. When I looked at the situation from a distance, I confirmed the appearance of Aria in the center of the brave party. I gently stroked my chest. The brave party entered the castle. After a while appeared on the balcony of the castle alongside the king, looking down at the state of the kingdom.
“Satan is defeated.”
”Thank you. Then…brave…what would you like as a reward?”
“There is only one thing I want.”
As the brave said so, he looked at Aria within the brave party behind him.
“I want to take the saint Aria as my wife!”
Immediately, the hero tried stealing Aria’s lips. I closed my eyes, shut my ears, turned away from the castle and ran away while trying to comfort myself with words such as: 'Common things in stories…'
After that, I do not remember how I got home. My mother just got pure white, and she seems to have been calling out to me who came back with hula while looking for something anxious, but, “Oh…I think he was returning with such words like “Well…” I returned to my room. After a while I noticed water droplets falling on my feet. Finally, I realized it was tears that were running down my face. I wonder if Aria makes you happy on the balcony of the castle now… If you think so, in this place furiously…No, I did not want to stay in the kingdom; there were too many memories with Aria here. I left a message on the spot and jumped out of the house with a little money.
This was what I wrote:
I wish for the happiness of Aria and the brave. Please do not search for me.
On that day, I celebrated my 15th birthday, crying; I disappeared from the kingdom.
