Chapter 45 - People Are Still Truly Good At Heart (1/2)
”Cherish this. Your body may be gone, but your voice and words will be heard throughout time and the world. Your death will not be for nothing, your words will be echoed across the globe,” he whispered towards the scared little thing.
The child's eyes lit up.
”Across the globe?” she repeated, with life.
As a rush of adrenaline shot through the Time Boy, Raiyen abruptly sprung back up to a standing position.
”Corrento-Mundo! Even Asia will know about your story, your diary. Don't lose hope. Never lose hope. You are right, you inevitably have been. Your belief that everyone harbors goodness within their hearts, is correct.”
Raiyen next went towards the young girl's ear and muttered words confirming his status as a Time Mage.
” 'I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are still truly good at heart.'.”
The adolescent girl's eyes widen. She has not presented anyone her writings yet, so how could some stranger know something as private as that? Especially that particular line. It was the ultimate thing she had recorded down onto her precious Kitty, the name of her diary.
”Well, so much for not tampering with Time,” said Raiyen, providing his signature 'I've-goofed-up' smile.
”Expect a long lecture from me, Child of Time,” scolded Mavislin, reassuming her stance.
”High Queen, awaiting orders,” announced Z.
The Time Mage's eyes widened. Last he checked, Raiyen was sure that Ysabeau held the titled of High Queen.
”Let them in,” ordered the current High Queen.
”What the hell?! Raiyen mentioned that the girl was going to be famous, how could you permit the soldiers to come in?!” yelled Z.
”If we save them, there will be a chance that her diary doesn't get published at all!” shouted Raiyen.
”Well, this ain't better!”
”If we tamper with this crucial moment, we might end up screwing things over for the future. I'm not taking that chance,” argued Raiyen, looking elsewhere.
”But!”
”Enough! This is my decision, and it is final!” boomed the High Queen.
Her voice was of authority. Z had no choice but to abide by it. Z acknowledged and saluted the man. She gave a hug towards the child.
