8: Since You Forgot 8: Since You Forgot Right after Neil and Axel dropped their bloods on the Black Parchnt.
A strange black fire ignited on the parchnt, the fire slowly grew larger and larger, they all could not help but take so steps back, The Slave Trader was the only one unsurprised by the situation.
Strange texts started to appear on the black flas, but the characters of the text were in white, and it was obviously in the language of the Suncrest kingdom.
Axel was unable to contain his shock even though he partially knew about it.
[A contract request has been initiated to be administrated by Pri Nexus.] [Acknowledging conditions set on contract paper] [The blood of both parties has been identified] [Binding effect shall be applied between Axel Nomrad and Neil Croft] One line appeared after another within the black flas.
Even the Slave Trader, who had seen this scene countless tis, could not help keep his eyes locked into the flas.
Axel had it worse since it was his first ti seeing such a scene.
A part of the Black flas separated from the whole, then it divided into two and shot into the chest of both Axel and Neil.
Axel could finally sense a subtle change within him sowhere.
It was too vague, too difficult to put into simple words, but the strange feeling vanished a few monts later.
The Size of the Black Smoke grew smaller, and a new text appeared on it, [The Slave ownership of ‘Neil Croft’ has been transferred to ‘Axel Nomrad’] After that, the Black Smoke vanished into thin air with a powerful gale.
Axel remained astonished for a few monts until he finally regained his composure.
He could not help but murmur in slight excitent, “I can’t wait to beco a Seeker.” The two guards exchanged a glance, they understood their young masters feeling all too well.
Becoming a Seeker grants you access to the ‘Pri Nexus’.
That is sothing everyone desires so it was understandable.
After that, Axel completed the paynt and went on a quick exploration of the other parts of the market.
He visited various types of shops but he was in truth searching for sothing else.
A certain symbol, an underground organization that handles trades and information gathering.
He only needed to find out where it was then he could send Neil to do rest of his work, if Neil proves himself to be useful that is.
He finally saw the symbol, unlike what one would expect for a channel of dark organization.
An old lady who selling fruits in broad daylight had a small symbol on her basket.
He almost thought the old won probably got that basket from sowhere accidentally.
Yet, he felt a sense of incongruity from the Old woman.
He went towards her and bought so apples from her.
She appeared utterly ordinary in every way.
The only thing he could find strange was that she was not too interested in selling the fruits.
She was even selling the fruits at the lowest price.
If soone new were to co and buy from her, they might think there was sothing wrong with the fruits.
But one of the two guards whispered sothing in his ears, “This lady is known throughout the whole market very well.
She has a good reputation of always selling very good fruits at the lowest price possible.
She also grows the fruits in her garden with her own hands.” The guard added, “She doesn’t sell too many fruits to the rich people.
If you try to buy all the fruits, she won’t sell.
She mostly does it to let the normal people buy her fruits and enjoy them, that is why she is well respected.” Axel nodded to the guard, and he went back to guarding him.
he asked the old lady, “Would you sell all the fruits if I want to buy it all?” The old woman sighed and said, “The fact that you’re asking that question ans the guard of yours told you about , so why are you asking the obvious?” Axel had a surprised expression, but his question wasn’t over.
“Aren’t you afraid of offending important people?” The old woman smiled.
“I have no one related to alive anymore, so what if I die trying to help a few more people?
If I can die knowing that I have tried.” She added, “Sotis satisfaction does not need to co from certainty or positive results but simply from trying your best.” Axel’s eyebrows arched hearing those words; even the two guards and Neil had their expressions changed slightly.
The words she said weren’t sothing unique or anything, but it was as if she spoke them from the bottom of her heart, and a sense of sadness carried her words, which could not help but touch Axel and the three accompanying him slightly.
Axel simply put the fruits back, he nodded at her and started going back.
Those words said by the old woman only made him sure that she is the channel to the underground organization.
Yet, on his way back to the carriage, sothing happened.
A strange voice called out to him from one side.
Axel looked in that direction, and his eyes t with a boy whose features were sharp, and his eyes seed to be a mixture of silver and brown but mostly silver.
His attire seed to be extrely expensive, there was a sense of superiority that automatically radiated from him.
Accompanying him was four more boys.
Behind the group were two guards; both were in 2nd phase which spoke about the high status of the boy leading them.
Well, he seem to be almost sa age as himself.
It did take Axel too long to understand that the one who called out to him was the next heir of the Dusker Dukedom, Ken Dusker.
He had an extrely shocked expression on his face when he saw Axel, but it soon turned into a devious grin.
He started walking towards him, Axel imdiately bowed, followed by his two guards and Neil.
he imdiately said in a polite tone, “I greet the renowned heir of Dusker Dukedom.” Ken still kept that devious smile on his face and said, “Oh, Axel, I heard you were in a coma, and it was said that there was no hope for you ever waking up, and look at you.” “You’re as good as new, despite what happened to you back then?” Axel at first was very confused.
Then, he could not help but think of the classic bullying scenario.
Yet, when he heard his last words, a spine-chilling sensation ran through his spine.
It was as if his body was reacting automatically without control.
A boundless amount of fear and rage built up in him.
He controlled himself with all his might to not let those foreign feelings take control of his mind.
Ken patted his shoulder, and Axel straightened his posture.
Axel could not help but notice the sinister gaze that Ken directed towards him.
His body automatically tensed under that Gaze, but he still responded respectfully, “Thank you for your concern, but thankfully I have recovered.” But Ken’s expression beca very strange after hearing those words.
Ken said, taunting him again, “Are you sure you’re okay?
What happened to you back then was truly too much.” “Wasn’t it?” he whispered into Axel’s ear.
An even more petrifying feeling spread throughout him.
His breathing quickened slightly, his heart began to beat faster out of sheer terror.
He clenched the fist of his left that he was holding on his back.
He could not help but wonder what happened.
What exactly happened to the original Axel for his body to have such intense reaction?
He replied respectfully again, “Thank you for your concern, Young lord, but I think I am ok.” Ken wore a visibly disappointed expression this ti as he thought of sothing else, “Could it be that you have lost your mories or sothing?” Axel’s expression cracked for a mont, and that gesture did not escape the eyes of Ken, and his devious smile returned.
He stated in a dark tone.
“So, why didn’t you say that you had lost your mories?
No wonder you were acting so out of character.” Axel hurriedly stated, “Young Lord I…..” Before he could finish, Ken cut him off, “You dare to lie in front of this young master?” With no apparent warning, a powerful kick landed on Axel’s face, which broke his nose, and a few of his teeth were also on the verge of breaking.
It was an extrely strong kick that he did not even see coming.
He was almost about to fall to the ground, but he kept his balance; the brutal training of William did wonders to his body.
He stood back straight and glared at the bastard, but he had to calm himself down forcefully.
Unfortunately, as it may be, he could not do anything to the bastard.
If he hard the heir of the Dusker Dukedom in public, that would give them the right to wipe out the entire Obsidian Trade with no hindrance, such was the difference between them.
Ken wasn’t finished with that one attack; this ti, he attacked his leg and stated furiously, “You dare to glare at ?
Lower your gaze, you trash.” Axel lost his balance and fell, he kept his gaze lowered this ti.
After cursing him a few more tis, Ken said one last thing and left, “Don’t worry, you piece of trash, I’ll let you know your place again when the ti is right, since you forgot.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Seeker_of_Chaos Thank you for reading.
