ON BEHALF OF (Roel Askart)

I was looking at an old man who was standing outside the window and pointing at the window with his fingers.

Who is it? What does he want from me?

I looked at him and wondered whether to open the window or not. It seemed that he saw my thoughtful look and said - "Hey kid, if you want to help your family, then I advise you to open the window"

I looked out the window and frowned, how does he know all this? And how can this old man help me?

I came to the decision to open the window. After all, this old man doesn't look like a rapist… Isn't it?

I opened the window. The old man came in and started looking around my room, and said, "You made the right choice."

I looked at him and asked, "Who are you? And how do you know about the problems in my family?"

He looked into my eyes and stared. I was enraged by his gaze on me and I said, "Listen, old man, you didn't come here to look at me, did you? Let's get right to the point. How can you help me?"

The old man seemed surprised by my harsh words: "Um, who taught this child such manners?"

I raised an eyebrow and said, "Manners? And this was said by the man who snuck into the room of a three-year-old child through the window?"

The old man's jaw almost dropped from my harsh words. Well, after all, I'm three years old, children of my age can't even pronounce the "R".

He looked at me and said, "I am the former king of the kingdom of Elenoir, Virion Eralit..."

I interrupted him in the middle of the sentence "Former King? And do you think I will believe that the former king of this kingdom entered my room through the window?"

He frowned and said, "Don't interrupt me kid, it's bad. Ahem.. Where I'm staying.. oh yeah.. I am the former King Virion Eralite and I have come to you with an offer."

I grinned and said, "Your ambassador has already come to us with an offer, and we politely sent him to hell."

He raised an eyebrow and said, "That's another suggestion."

I was wondering what this elf, who called himself the "Former King", would say -"And what kind of offer? If you want me to leave my parents, then you don't have to waste your time, I won't agree."

He shook his head and said, "No, I don't want you to leave your parents, I suggest you become my disciple."

"If the former king really wanted to make me his disciple, I think he wouldn't have come to me through the window and wouldn't have sent his ambassador to threaten my family."

"Kid, there were reasons for that. I apologize, unfortunately the rumors reached me late, and I did not have time to send the ambassador. But don't worry, the royal family won't do anything after the refusal."

"So if I refuse you now and don't agree to the ambassador's terms, then my family won't get anything for it?"

"That's right."

"Well, let's say I agreed to become your disciple and what's next? Will I live in your palace and train?"

He shook his head and said, "No, if you don't want to, you won't live in the palace, you just have to come train."

If he really isn't lying, then there's no point in refusing me, but I'm only three years old now, I don't want to waste my precious time with my family on daily workouts.

And I made a decision.

"Alright old man, I agree to be your disciple, but only after 2 years, I want to spend as much time with my family as possible."

He grinned and said, "These children from noble families are even willing to give their lives for me to train them, but you are different, you are much more mature than them. Okay, in two years, when you turn five, I'll come for you."

I smiled and said, "Isn't my family entitled to a bonus for moral damage?"

He curled his lips and said, "You little one... alright, I'll send your family compensation for the mistakes of the royal family. Anything else?"

"Oh, yes, could you also give me glasses whose lenses would be so black that even light could not be reflected through them"

He raised an eyebrow and said, "Do I look like a postman?"

I grinned and said, "To be honest, you don't really look like a former king either."

"Well, it's not difficult for me, but why do you need them? I don't think you'll use them."

"Everyone has their own secrets"

I don't really need these glasses right now, but if my "six-eyed" suddenly wakes up in the future, they will be useful to me.

I was going to ask this old man for something else, but I was interrupted by a knock on the door.

The old man seemed to know that I wanted to ask him for something else and immediately climbed out the window. "Okay, kid, I have to go, I hope in two years you won't disappoint me"

And he disappeared…

Damn it, what a witty old man.

But I was interrupted again by a knock on the door. I scratched my head and went to open the door.

Lily was standing outside the door, she seemed to be angry about something.

"Loel, you fool, why didn't you look for me? We agreed that you're looking for me, and I'm hiding."

Aaaaaa... that's right, we were playing hide-and-seek with her. I patted her on the head and said, "I'm sorry, I just had a headache and decided to lie down."

Excitement sounded in her voice, "Loel, are you feeling okay? If you want, I can tell Mom to call a doctor."

"Don't worry, I'm fine now. So, what game do you want to play?"

After my words, her eyes sparkled, and she said in a joyful tone, "Really? Then let's play..."

And so the whole day flew by…
