Seirei no Moribito

That day, the boy's heart, which was pure innocence, died.

My grandfather, who exposed himself to an unbroken death in the faded scenery, and the feeling of piercing flesh and raw warm blood that remained in his right hand did not disappear as if it had always crept.

Since that day, the boy had a secret purpose in his heart.

Vengeance. I've lived for seventeen years just for it.

The boy's house has believed in the "Spirit Tree” faith from his ancestors, and he has been told from generation to generation that it is the greatest pride of the family to be recognized by the "Spirit Tree” and reincarnated into the "Protector".

In particular, the boy's grandfather had twice as much respect for the "Spirit Tree," and his passion permeated the small village as well.

It was a little drastic, but the boy and his parents were proud of it and had no doubt about it.

But such a warm but happy life suddenly collapsed.

My parents, whom I loved, became the ones who never left. The boy cried down in that obituary and kept calling his parents' names out loud and over again. That's until my voice plunders.

I was told he lost his life because of a failed mission, but that didn't come into my head at all.

What I remember is that the brightly colored sight became a monotonous, faded event depicted in white and black.

And from that day on, the days of hell for the boy opened the curtain.

The betrayal of his parents - the brutal fact that he was a member of the "Knights of the King's Capital" and the unbroken conclusion that he was killed by the "Guardian” who betrayed the “Spirit Tree” he worships.

Abuse of my grandfather - Originally, my son didn't care that he belonged to the "Knights of the King's Capital," my grandfather didn't have a good feeling about such a stupid son and the descendants of a filthy clan who continues to be imprisoned underground, the boy who inherits his blood. The fact that my parents were able to relocate to this village convinced by the lie that they were spies on the ”Spirit Tree” side diving into the "Knights of the King's Capital" makes it impossible to resent the boy more than the premise collapsed.

In addition to the scornful gaze around - the exclusive environment - Rattel, the traitor of the "Spirit Tree," was enough for the boy to hate. The boy's unique atmosphere also applauded it.

Hated to take the boy away - because my grandfather stubbornly refused to raise the boy - claiming that his relatives continued to treat such troublemakers as if they were slaves and let them live a life that neither fed nor fed them busily.

The young boy's heart could not stand the betrayal of his parents, who had been denied all his previous values and loved them.

He spent his days as if he were dead and danced like a broken doll.

It was thanks to the presence of innocent Emilia and - now an abomination - Iseria, who reached out like the Virgin Mary, who was able to survive in such a harsh environment.

For her, the boy at the time had irresistible qualities as a “tool”. Despair of everything, cursing everything, hating everything, and continuing to gaze at a never-ending nothingness. With his strict grandfather's education, he had twice as much faith in the Spirit Tree, and now the boy had hope in the Spirit Tree.

Master “Spirit Tree" will send down the hammer of judgment on these fools.

Unlike my parents who betrayed Master Spirit Tree, I would never betray Master Spirit Tree.

The boy who was paranoid about the existence of the "Spirit Tree” was worthy of use because he was empty.

Yes, taste it. The boy was also one of the followers of the "Spirit Tree”. Influenced by his grandfather, he innocently believed in the Aga story his parents spoke and pledged allegiance to Iselia, who rescued the boy who was in the dark.

Even if the loyalty came from a vague, blind view and a one-sided view with one-sided knowledge, the boy didn't mind it.

So I killed my grandfather just like Iselia ordered. I did not know why Iselia had given such an order, but avenged her poor grandfather, who scorned herself as she was told, and stabbed her back with the knife given to Iselia.

The boy looked at his grandfather, whose anger disappeared from his eyes with no emotion whatsoever. I didn't even listen to the words of my grandfather, who whined during his death. And I don't even notice that I'm trying to step off the road.

And the boy went to the side of the Spirit Tree.

Determined not to be the two dances of his parents who betrayed the boy, he tried to live with everything he gave to Iselia.

- But the real despair, which also shatters that thought, came three years after that.

The boy, who was on his way to the King's Capital by order of Iseria, happened to meet a member of the "King's Capital Knights" who knew his parents - he knew the hidden truth.

My parents love the boy from the bottom of their hearts. You're afraid that your parents will leave the boy behind and die. the fact that he had asked the "Knights of the King's Capital" to protect the boy. And in order not to involve the boy, his parents received the dangerous task of stealing dive information from the "Spirit Tree" side, and the boy learned the too cruel truth that he had been killed by the "Guardian".

The same day my parents' betrayal was discovered, when I had been denied everything I had ever been, and the boy didn't know what was right and what was wrong.

So I started looking into it. About my parents, about my grandfather, my origins, my relationship with the Spirit Tree and the Knights of the King's Capital.

And the biggest mystery, why The Knights of the King's Capital didn't protect the boy.

But everywhere the truth was cruel to the boy.

My parents were originally members of a team that specializes in dirty work, but because they were powerful, they were targeted for their lives by the organization, and they took the newborn boy and kept running away from the chaser while rolling around.

I had a short and happy day in that village I arrived at.

But the chaser caught me, and my parents tried a dangerous mission to help the boy, and they died.

My grandfather, who was killed by a "tool” and an accomplished boy, gradually learned at the end that his mistakes were not such that the "Spirit Tree” was worthy of faith, that his parents were right, and that his beloved grandson was about to be exploited by the abominable "Spirit Tree”. Iselia ordered me to kill my grandfather to make sure the boy was a pawn.

I learned why the Knights of the King's Capital didn't protect the boy - that was because his parents were just abandoned pawns for the Knights of the King's Capital.

There is no obligation to protect the son of a man whose life is in jeopardy, but who could not destroy one "protector". Besides, the "Knights of the King's Capital" showed no movement because they predicted that the boy would be killed by his grandfather, who hated the scandal.

He tries to kill the toddler and treats his parents like pawns. That was the answer to The Knights of the King's Capital.

This was the real divide in life.

For the first time, the boy stopped his parents' true thoughts in his heart - choosing the path of "revenge”.

The "Spirit Tree” that used me and the "Knights of the King's Capital" that abandoned their parents will surely destroy them with this hand.

No, I'm gonna kill you all without leaving one.

I'll stick my sword out over and over and make you feel the despair your parents have tasted, and then I'll kill you unharmed.

I don't do mercy, it's not worth it. I will definitely “avenge” you.

- That was the only purpose of the boy's life.

Even if waiting ahead is the door to hell, the boy goes on without hesitation.

No emotions, no memories, no names given to me by my parents, and the boy won't stop until his broken heart is completely shattered.

Turned the world against the enemy. Whoever they are, if they stand in the way of revenge, slash them and throw them away.

That was my institutional classmate, my esteemed instructor, and he stayed by my side for fourteen years - even in childhood.

Any opponent is fine, I can definitely do it - I can kill him.

I don't have any emotions at all, so heartache is just a hallucination. Yes, I can't help but think about it and put up a beautiful thing called "revenge”.

Revenge - because the boy lives just for it.

Squeezing his dirty trembling hands in bright red, the boy laughs invincibly. Thought fear and regret were a bluff.

"... don't forget, Iselia. I will kill you."

He stared at his face wet in the mirror water and the boy renewed his vows.
