Happy Endings Are Lies - 33 Chapter 32-Journey South

~Inside the Main Hall~

Tinro patted Denear’s back. “You really gonna go! Ha! Good riddance!”

“Thank you for you touching farewell!” Denear said being sarcastic.

*Sob* *sob* Audrey was sobbing while saying. “Mwy cute wittle stuwdent is weaving mwi! Mwaaaaaa..” She hugged Denear tightly. She wiped her tears. “You’re all grown up now! Make sure not to do anything that’ll hurt you okay…Promise me not to hurt people without any reason.”

“I promise.”

Denear had his luggage with him and his guards were putting them onto the carriage. Freya, the maid who is actually an elf, came up to Denear to also send her regards. During the years, she was kinda like Denear’s research partner. She would tell him about the outside, the elves, rumors, gossips and would tell him stories and legends. They had really gotten close and on her status screen, it showed that their relationship is [Close Friends].

Denear felt really bad leaving her without figuring out her curse. He had done so much research about it secretly. However, when he researched about “The Shadow Heroes” party and this secret organization they were fighting at that time, a witch which happened to be the best at curses and magic was present during that time, the progress on the goal option rose by 1%. Which means it has something to do with them somehow. Still got a long way before I get to completely heal her and I need to do it as fast as possible even while i’m there in the Kingdom of Cesea.

Witches are sort of hated by the world. Even though a few human beings have magic power, witches are born with demonic energy which they use for magic. They are outsiders to both the demons and humans and they are dislike by the other races and are sometimes hunted and tortured.

~Back to reality~

“Goodbye everyone!” Denear waved goodbye as he stood by the carriage door.

“Just know that we’ll always be by your side!” Shouted LIlian waving back with Heins standing next to her

“If anyone dares make you mad just call for your big sis Audrey!!” Audrey had stopped sobbing. She and Tinro were waving goodbye with bright smiles as they looked at their only student who they were very proud of.

The carriage started to move while Denear was holding the carriage’s door frame and smiled radiantly. This was the most heart warming smile they had ever seen him make in their entire lives and was touched because he mostly also had a distant personality.

Seeing the the carriage drive away into the distance until it was out of sight, a loud cry could be heard. “AAAAAHHHHH!! I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!! WHY DOES HE HAVE TO GO!!” Everyone else sighed. Lilian then said, “Calm down dear! He’ll be alright, he can manage himself!”

Tinro: Scratching his head. “Has he always been like this?”

Audrey: “I don’t think so….It only started when Denear was born…”

Lilian: “Dear, you got to calm down. I know you already miss him a lot.”

Yes, the person who was screaming was Denear’s father, Heins Cornelius. Everyone else in the entire mansion knew except for Denear that Heins Cornelius is obsessed and over protective of his son. He mostly has a serious and cold personality when it comes to work, his family and about everything else with only one exception…..Denear. Though he sometimes smiles, when it comes to his son, he just can’t help but go super soft. He’s so over protective that when Denear was born, he covered all the stair’s sharp edges and moved all weapons out of the house underground and made sure the the kitchen knives were blunt for years. Those were some dark times for the mansion’s chefs.

His angel, his life, his entire world. Nothing could compare to his vast love for his son. (second place is Lilian, wife.) He screamed…”Waaahhh!!! I don’t want him to go!! But he said he wanted to go there so father will do everything in my power to make sure you get it!! Even if my heart breaks a thousand time to watch you leave, i’ll do it if it’s what you want!! My fatherly love for you is the most dangerous thing this world dares to provoke!….I’ll kill anyone who dares harm you, my angel who was bestowed upon me from the Gods! I’ll cut off their family bloodline starting from 8 generations back. I’ll make sure to give you everything you want just to hear you call me daddy!!!….”

…..

Denear who was inside the carriage, heard faint screams from the distance and couldn’t make out what they were saying. But Denear just couldn’t help but feel slight chills run down his spine.

“Probably just in my head…..”
