Chapter 103 Aslan POV At The Past 2

That cold and emotionless expression...he's like a tightly closed book. But he looks very strong to be able to get up after all the beatings and all those bruises on his body, he must be very strong for his age, but why are they bullying him?... Off, well I should sleep now it's very late. I thought as I was rolling in the bed trying to sleep

(But that look in his eyes...) I thought with a complicated expression, opening my eyes, remembering that deep look that was in the cold boy's eyes.

Thus, after that experience with little Fray, I became so interested in this mysterious child that the thing that made me try to search for all the information related to him this week which I have in the Parada Palace, and the more information I got about him, the more I became more interested in him, even at some point. That interest became an obsession I even snuck into the estate where he lived to try to see him

(This is a really bad idea, what was I thinking? How am I even going to be able to find him? this place is huge) I thought with a growled expression as I sneaked quietly. Hiding behind the wall of a building where the mysterious boy is currently living with his sister and mother, according to what I heard

(Should I sneak inside the building) I thought with a puzzled expression as I looked at one of the building's windows, which was open and big enough to be used as an entrance

Just after I decided to go ahead with this stupid plan, I suddenly saw the door of the building suddenly open and a young boy with black hair and dark eyes wearing light clothes came out.

"He's out..." I mumbled in a low voice as I saw the little boy who started walking somewhere

Thus, After leaving a distance between me and him, I moved from my place and followed him slowly, sneaking from one hiding place to another along the way. Until the little boy arrived at a training ground equipped with many training facilities

(Is he going to train?) I thought curiously as I looked at the boy entering the training ground

So, I stopped moving keeping a decent space from him and I hid quietly between trees trying my best not to make a sound, the kid on the other side put on some heavy iron belts around his body before he started running at full speed around the training ground leaving only a cloud of dust behind him.

(He's fast) I thought, shocked at the boy's unexpected speed

------After an hour and thirty minutes

(This training has gone too far) I thought with a complicated expression as I looked at the boy who was still running at full speed while breathing heavily

Yes, I spent more than an hour watching this boy running without moving, and the reason that made me stay for so long is the strange atmosphere surrounding this boy, it may seem that one hour of running is not a big deal after all this boy is a warrior from the second kingdom and his stamina is a lot stronger than ordinary people, but in fact, for all this time the child has been running with all his might without slowing or resting while carrying many Weights, no matter how strong a person is, his endurance will run out after using all his strength for this long period. And he did although the child still bore the same cold expression, his body was clearly beyond exhausted at this moment. As he was covered in a great deal of sweat, his white skin turned rosy due to the strength of his blood circulation, and even his right foot seemed to be suffering from a muscle rupture but despite that, the child still did not stop running, which made me watch him in wonder, without sensing the passing of the time, trying to figure out what is this strange atmosphere surrounding the boy.

-------After another half hour

(Finally ...) I thought as I looked at the boy who had finally stopped running and was now walking forward towards the training mannikin, breathing heavily.

Doof

Doof

Doof

The doll was made of black stone, which was a stone that was impossible even for a warrior from the Third Kingdom to scratch. But the boy, ignoring the toughness of this stone, started punching the puppet continuously without stopping with a cold expression on his face.

Doof

Doof

Doof

"..." I looked at the boy who was still hitting the solid doll making loud crashing sounds with a complicated expression

Doof

Doof

With the same facial expression, while breathing hard, the boy continued to hit the doll with all his might, until suddenly his hand could not take it any longer and started to bleed profusely, but even so, the boy never stopped hitting the doll, which finally made me see through this atmosphere...

All that rage, sadness, and despair is hidden under that cold expression. Actually after thinking about it how could he not be sad this child who is not even twelve years old lives in complete loneliness without friends without family without even an iota of love from anyone, his brothers bullying him, his mother abandoning Him, and his father doesn't seem to even know of his existence,

Always living in fear of his own family members

Fighting daily for survival in complete loneliness

Crak

Crak

The stone puppet, after being beaten for more than half an hour, finally could not stand it any longer thus, several small cracks began to appear in the stone under the impact of the boy's blows, while the boy's hand became completely red with blood that was flowing non-stop from his many wounds that covered his hands until suddenly the boy stopped He punched the doll with a cold face before slowly lowering himself to the ground and resting softly on the floor looking up at the sky with a distracted expression.

(Just how can a child almost the same age as me bear all this) I thought quietly before I felt a warm liquid running down my face (Wait, am I crying?) I thought while placing my hand on the extent of the tears that began to leak from my eyes without realizing it.

"Weeping…." Suddenly, without my knowing, a small crying sound came out of my mouth, as a result of the overwhelming feelings that suddenly filled my heart.

Suddenly, the boy who was sleeping on the ground got up quickly and looked in the direction I was in with a cold look, so suddenly, without having time to react, the boy turned around and shot at a high speed in the direction of his mansion.

"…" With tears in my eyes, I looked at the back of the little boy who was running so fast that it didn't take long before he completely disappeared from my view before I quietly took a turn and turned to go back to the main mansion where my mother was as she must be worried from my sudden disappearance.

A white-haired old man dressed as a servant looking at the place where the little boy had disappeared. This is the view I saw as soon as I turned back, yeah I don't know how long this man was standing right behind me without my noticing his presence.

*******

After spending the whole week obsessing over this boy, after observing his behavior from afar, and after hearing so many rumors that everyone makes it seem worse than necessary, I finally conclude that the boy named Fray is hated by everyone, as they call him a monster because they say that he kills in cold blood, only for whims and without Showing any feelings, there are rumors saying that he even tried to kill his own mother and his sibling sister, but after observing his behaviors

From afar, I'm sure that he's not that kind of person, after all, I did not see him, even for once, acting violently towards anyone other than himself, it is clear that these are only rumors that his brothers and sisters spread to ruin His reputation and to make everyone hate him

Thus, after reaching these conclusions, my obsession with this boy became even bigger the thing that made me really want to get close to that boy, whatever the cost.
