Finally, the day has come. Today I have to get out of this forest and also I need to travel to a certain place , to see if I can get any leads. The place which I have to visit today is the melonia duchy , also known as the iron wall of the liones , famous for its iron like defence against the foreign intruders and protecting the nation against the enemy countries , acting as an unpenetrable shield for liones kingdom.
Well , for me it is the only key to unlock the mystery of my parent's death as well as providing myself a work for living.
So, I woke up early in the morning , fresh up myself and headed to the small dining of the cabin.
Hmm, it looks like grandpa already prepared my breakfast ; good for me .
I ate the breakfast steadily , after having breakfast I started to look for grandpa jack, I really wanted to thank him for last time for saving me and taking care of me , a stranger, for all these days.So I went out of the cabin to look for him.
In the meantime somewhere else.....
Grandpa jack was gathering herbs in an enchanted area inside the forest , the area was covered with fog but the region was filled with different types unknown plants , medicinal herbs and shrubs and mosses clinging on tree trunks . These plants and mosses were glowing with different color lights .
If the people of melonia duchy saw these , they will immediately recognize this place as the forbidden valley of evarandel which is strictly prohibitted for ordinary people to enter.
But grandpa jack is still collecting those herbs with fear and sorrow in his eyes.
After collecting certain herbs , he started to return hurriedly towards his cottage , but suddenly he jolted and stopped walking infront of the entrance of valley . Because infront of him , was one of the knights stationed here from melonia duchy as a guard protecting the valley.
Grandpa jack gritted his teeth , he turned back as he was planning to escape but he was easily caught by the knight was forced to the ground with his superhuman strength.
Old grandpa's whole body was in pain but still he refused to let go of those herbs , he begged the knight.
" please ahh please let me go, I beg you , please grant me mercy."
The knight snorted.
" Huh, first you broke the law and entered the foribidden valley and then you steal those heavenly precious herbs and tried you escape and now you are asking for mercy , you old bones."
He kicked grandpa on his stomach and then tried to punch him on his face, when suddenly a stone came out of knowhere and hit on his forhead .
The knight stumbled back , his forhead was bleeding , he looked for the source of hostillity he saw a small black haired kid at a distance from him.
His face was filled with anger with a aura surrounding him of a killing intent directed towards him.
The kid none other than theo.
Meanwhile in theo 's mind :-
" arrhhhhh , if I was little late that guy would had broken grandpa's all bones, who the hell is that guy and why he is beating grandpa jack like that. I really want to punch his face and beat him badly , but he is too strong , for me to handle."
"Damm it, If I was not this pathetically weak , I have now choice I have to escape somehow from him with grandpa jack , otherwise I will get myself killed."
Outside theo's mind as he was thinking, the knight started to walk and came infront of theo.
He looked at the small kid infront of him and thought
" Is the kid a accomplice of that thief , or otherwise why he will help that old man out of nowhere , if it is true I have to capture both them and present them infront of our lord."
He asked theo
" Hey kiddo, do you know that old thief ? tell me honestly or other wise even though you are a kid I will still resort to force if don't tell anything."
After hearing that threat, theo thought ;
" What should I do, should I tell him , well as if there is any choice left for me . There is no other way for escape , it looks like he is a knight , he will catch me easily if tried to escape with grandpa."
"Not only that but grandpa is also unconsous due to beating so there is no choice, I believe that knight will kill me , otherwise he would have already done that long ago, sigh I will trust my instinct this time."
So, theo calmed down and decided to tell him.
He told him that he knew grandpa and told the knight that he firmly believe that grandpa is not a thief and he is good person.
Obviously he omitted his escape story because believes no one , more a stranger.
In response the knight told
" Listen kid, I will not the one who will decide that whether old is guilty or not , I was just doing my duty , but as I have caught him red handed I have to bring infront of our lord, the grand duke, he will be the one who will decide his faith ."
"So can I go with him I can't leave him alone, he is like my guardian." Theo told.
" Well you will go with him surely as his accomplish". the knight said.
So, the knight picked up grandpa jack and handcuffed theo with him so as to prevent him from escape.
Theo started to follow the knight infront him when suddenly a voice rang in his mind.
" How are you my friend?"
Theo was literally to shocked to hear that voice.
" So you finally showed up , now tell me what you was going to tell me previously." Theo commanded the world administrator.
" Don't worry I have also come to tell you something , so listen to me carefully." The administrator told in a heavy voice.
" What if I told you that your real character identity in this game world is actually not as ' Theodre Siemen' but is ' Theodre Rightburn'."
Theo froze completely after hearing that , he started broke in cold sweat and only one response came from his mouth.
". WHAAAAAAAAT !!!! ".
