Don’t Touch Me You’ll Die - Chapter 16 Awakening

It looks like father met this androgynous beauty when he is traveling to the other side of the world, but there is something that I found it strange.

Why the hell did she know about my magic and stuff

Is she some kind of fortune teller? A scammer? Nah, that’s not possible, this is another world with magic after all.

I understand that she know about my magic and all that, but why the hell are you looking at me this close, damn it?!

You are indeed a beauty, but this androgynous looking one is just too much for me you know!

And beside, you are called ancient just now by mother, you must be that legendry baba from Japanese legend. Not that I know what it meant

But still, she really has a nice figure. The more I thought about it the more confused I get!

Sigh There is no use thinking about it! But I have to say that I am a bit nervous, father said that I would be fine. However the feeling of discomfort is still there, he has that heavy look on his face after all!

“What are you thinking little kid? You look troubled~~”

“Huh!? Ah No, i-I’m not thinking of anything”

“Really~~? Come here, let me carry you for a moment~ Is it fine, Theresa~?”

“Of course! Here, go ahead.”

I-I’m not a stuffed doll you know At least show some care damn it! Don’t just shove me like a thing!!

After I was handed(lol) over to the strange looking woman, I was cuddled and kissed like some toy

“Aaahh~~ this is the first time I carried a kid, how nice it is”

“O-ooohh, g-good for you then~~”

M-mother? Come help your son!! W-why are you glaring at me!! And aren’t you a witch that have lived for a long long time?!

I don’t believe that you didn’t had sex before!! You must have a lot of experience in that kind of thing!! Don’t you dare pretend like some virgin innocent girl, damn it!!

A baba like you acting like a maiden make me want to puke! Get away from me!!

“Fufufu~~ you are really rude now, little kid~~”

“!!!”

It was as if she heard the thing that I said in my mind. She whispered into my ears in a very low tone and said teasingly, her breath hit my ear making it red like a tomato.

B-but how?! I clearly didn’t let that one slip out from my mouth

“I can hear what you said inside of your mind, little one. There is nothing strange about it.”

I can feel cold sweat drip down from my forehead to my cheek from hearing her words. What nothing strange, the fact that you can hear what I’m saying in my head is just strange!

Fuck with me woman!! I don’t believe that you can hear it!!

“Fufufu~~ Are you sure? You won’t regret it!? Your soul is quite interesting, it hold so much information for a 5 year old kid.”

“Soul”

“Eleanor, are you done having fun with my son?! It’s time to go meet the sage.”

Seeing the strange behavior of Eleanor, Father then said with a bit of hesitation.

However, mother just keep staring at me with a strange look on her face. She probably think that i’m a weird kid. It honestly make me worried, I sure don’t want her to hate me

With a sigh, Eleanor then put me down from her embrace.

“Oh my, it looks like I caused some trouble for you, little one. Please do forgive me, but don’t worry, you will be fine I am going to watch over you from now on after all”

Eleanor said to me in a guilty tone, she looked really sincere when she said that. But then she said something in a whisper as she walked toward the door.

I could not hear what she said at the end but, I think it should not be really important anyway.

*****

After walking for 3 minutes, we are now inside the waiting room where the sage and the king are present talking about something.

When they see us, they raised to their feet and then greeted father and mother in a very polite manner.

“Greeting Emperor Julius, Empress Theresa. This lowly one is Holand Jirvald and I am here on your request to help the first prince awaken his magic.”

Said the sage as he bowed so low that his head almost touched the ground

Is he that devoted to them to the point where he must abandon his dignity?! I must question the meaning of a sage again after this

“Now now, don’t be so stiff and raise your head, gramps. Take a look at my kid here, I want you to help me awaken his magic, can you do it?”

Father strange and awkward smile could be seen as he tried to make the old man to raise his head.

“No need to mind us and let’s get started, I want to make sure that it went well without any hindrance. Honestly, I am really in a bad mood for some reason. I think I can go and destroy a few kingdom by myself.”

With a gloomy expression rarely seen on mother’s beautiful face, she then said with a heavy and annoyed tone like she is about to erupt with rage at any moment.

The people in the room were filled with a cold sweat after hearing her wanting to go and destroy a few kingdoms. Especially the King and the Queen expression were really grave and pale

I don’t know what happened to her but, this is not the usual her that I have always seen. I wonder just what happened to her?!

“T-then please this way, I have prepared the magic circle and the magic jewels.”

Said the old man with a white hair and white beard. Ah, he is wearing a long green robe with an unknown inscription on it. He then pointed toward the open space within the room that has a magic circle drawn on it.

As for the king, now that I take a closer look, he is quite Normal There is no redeeming feature to take note of. Not handsome, but not ugly either, just normal Black hair and black eyes.. Yup Normal

But how the hell is his daughter is so damn beautiful and cute?! Is she really your daughter?! What if the queen cheated on you?! You got cuckolded then

Now that I think about it again, this little princess is the second princess, but I have not seen her big sister. Where is she, I wonder? This is her little sister birthday and yet, she is not here.

Is the queen being partial? Let’s say that the first princess is this man daughter and the second daughter is from someone else Uwaaahh Let’s just keep quiet about it!

“Hahaha”

I heard a small laughter from behind. When I turned my head to look, I saw Eleanor looking at me with a silly grin on her face.

Hearing that, even the stupid me understand that I just made a really huge blunder. I forgot about her able to read mind

“You have rich imagination kid, hahahaha~~ it was interesting, but too bad, no one cheated here.”

“Hateful”

I gave her a glare and grumbled under my breath.

You can at least ignore it damn it, what’s wrong having a wild thought every now and then?!

“What’s wrong?”

Mother then looked at me and asked with a questioning gaze.

“Ah, no I just think that, the old man looked like a sham”

“Pfftt~~”

Shut up, damn it!! I don’t have a choice but to let the old man take the blame!! Even I feel guilty for him Forgive me, old man!!

The cold sweat poured from my head, thinking how I should just shut up and not think about anything

I don’t dare look behind again and just look to the front. But when I look to the front, the old man is looking at me with a complicated expression and there is a hint of displeasure in his eyes

Forgive me!! I am so sorry, old man! I have the urge to jump and do a dogeza that Japanese people love to do in front of this old man

I averted my gaze from the old man who was looking at me intensely.

I don’t know why but the king and the old man never looked at Eleanor direction from the moment we came to this room, but I think I don’t have to care about it

“Alex you are being rude now.”

” I am sorry, please forgive me for my thoughtless remark mister sage.”

With a pat to my head, mother then told me off with a gentle tone. I don’t have any other choice but to apologize to him. In fact, it was indeed me who was in the wrong and a certain someone

I glanced to the back and glared at the androgynous woman with a hateful look.

“Hahaha Don’t worry about it, but I was surprised that even Ms. Eleanor is here.”

“Fufufu~ don’t mind me old guy, I’m just watching.”

One is looking so old that he smelled like the earth, and the other is so beautiful and colorful, even though they were both a being that has lived long enough to be called ancestors

Well whatever, this is not for me to think about or care. After putting my thought in order, I walked toward the magic circle without asking first.

“All right then Young prince, please hold this jewel here.”

“Ah Okay.”

The old man gave me a transparent jewel that looked really beautiful, it was just like a crystal glass. I was scared that I’m going to drop it and break it, but the old man next word reassured me.

“Don’t worry this is as hard as a diamond, so it won’t break just from dropping it.”

I reached the jewel in the old man hand using my right hand. However the moment my hand touched the jewel, I could feel my soul was being sucked in.

My right hand trembled a little and I almost dropped the jewel, but the old man grabbed and hold my hand into a fist together with the jewel.

“Don’t drop it, hold it tighter!”

“A-ah, okay.”

The old man’s harsh words woke me up from being in a daze and replied to him hurriedly.

“Now, stand here and don’t move. I’m going to be outside of the magic circle, so don’t worry.”

I nodded to the old man and then stayed still while staring at the transparent jewel in my right hand. The jewel had a hint of black in the center of it now

Is it because of my soul? Or maybe it was something else I have a bad feeling about this

“Ezviel/- Firzavolt///** *** *%$#@*@@!”

. Right! What kind of garbage are you shouting, old man!!

Seeing an old man raising both of his hands upward and then he started to shout loudly in a strange language I can only say that he has gone mental, all right!!

But then the magic circle started to shine in a red light. I almost jumped in fright when I saw that the once black colored magic circle is now bright red and glowing. What kind of magic is this?!

Ah I forgot that I am ah

There is a no privacy in this room while that black widow is still here! I almost made another blunder

When I was thinking about Eleanor, a severe headache suddenly struck me.

It was like I was being stabbed over and over again just to damage my brain. It was so hurt that I want to die, I dropped to my knee while letting out a beast like growl.

“Ggggrrraaaaahhhh!! Aaarrgghh! Gaaaahhh!!”

I can feel that I was falling into darkness, an endless darkness that has no end to it.

But Its looks like I was still able to hold the jewel tightly while my body started to roll on the ground like a fish without water.

Several worried voice traveled to my ears from a distance. It sounded blurry and distant, it was like I was inside a water, so dark, cold and lonely. It was a complete silent, without a single sound could be heard….
