Happy Endings Are Lies - 12 Chapter 12-Never Free

Denear smiled as gentle as possible to the newly awakened maid and said,”Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone.”

The young maid sighed in relief. ‘The young master is actually a good person. Wait a minute…’ The maid touched the side of her forehead to feel that her cut was gone. She had gotten a cut from Sir Finias when he smashed a glass at her. It not that severe but she had lost a lot of blood from that cut.

‘Young master did this?My wound wasn’t supposed to heal this quick. So how…’ She turned to face her young master.

He smiled again and said,”Your wondering how your wound healed so fast, right?”

The maid slowly nodded.

“I used magic….”

‘MAGIC!? But he’s only four years old. There’s no way he can already use magic at such a young age. He hasn’t even gone to the temple yet.’ She wanted to ask him a question, when he suddenly put his finger on her mouth.”Shhhhh. Since i’m gonna kept your secret. Will you promise to keep mine?”

She really wanted to as,k but decided to give up. “Yes master…” She said.

“Hey!” He stood up. “Call me by my name.”

“Sorry but I can’t show that much disrespect to the young master of this household.” She said, trying to object.

“Weren’t you busy saying that you hated humans?”

This question made her a little bit scared. ‘Will he hate me? How did he hear me!? I even used magic to check the surrounding area and no one was close to me for more than 10 meters.’ She shamefully nodded her head, slightly looking down. After a few moments of silence, he finally spoke up.

“Why are you shamefully bowing your head!?” His tone suddenly changed. It had a trace of disappointment. This statement made her raise up her head to see his expression. His voice sounded like he was a little angry and disappointed but his expression showed a calm yet cold face. While smiling he said,

“I hate humans too.” This statement made her thinking stop. She couldn’t say anything and just had a black expression as she looked at Denear. Her mouth moved to speak but no words came out.’WHY WOULD HE HATE HUMANS!?’

“I know what you’re thinking. You’re asking yourself, how I possibly hate humans when i’m a human myself. The answer is, humans are worst than monsters, no, worst than devils. They trample over the weak and cower in fear from the strong. They destroy people’s hopes and dreams. And lastly…..They take whats precious to you and hurt those you care about. If I had a choice, i’d rather be a demon. That’s why I hate humans. What about you?”

After his explanation, she had a very shocked expression but forced herself to speak.

“M-My parents were taken into slavery and killed right in front of me. Then a rich noble took me in before your father. He made me work and work and work. Sometimes he would even torture me and whip me. And after he was done using me, he sold me to other nobles. This happened for a long time. Until I couldn’t take it anymore, so I ran away. I ran and ran until I bumped into your father who was returning from a trip. I had used transformation magic to hide my true identity. At first I was scared of him. But I didn’t have any place to go. Besides, being under the protection of your father is the most rare privilege in the entire world.You know, your father is very kind. He didn’t even ask questions and took me in and tended to my wounds. However, up to this day, he still doesn’t know i’m a real elf. But no matter how kind he is, he is still human and a noble.” By now some tears were falling from her cheek. She said with a firm resolution,”I will never forgive them…”

She realized what she had just said.’Wasn’t this being ungrateful? Wait, didn’t I just indirectly say that I hate him?’

“Then we are the same… I have my reasons for hating humans and you have yours. If we both suffered and hate the same thing, then doesn’t that mean we are fated to be friends. Two people are better then one. Suffering together is better than suffering alone. Facing the cruelties of the world together is better than facing them alone.” He walked towards the gigantic window, staring at the moonlit sky he said,” I have a poem to tell you…”

(AUTHOR: This is an original poem made by me. I’m not that good in making poems though. Im a beginner)

Your tears may fall

The sun might set

What else is there to do

Other than regret

Reality can destroy

Destiny can be cruel

No-one can truly be free

That is this worlds number one rule

All the pain

All the sadness

Its driving me insane

I just want to break those holding me back

I just want to be free,

from the chains that are holding me back,

The chains holding me back to reality.

“This poem is called, NEVER FREE.”

(AUTHOR: Not to ruin the mood but for those who think store prices are too expensive. Well everything is NEVER FREE)
