50 Learn from the past

Loren waited for one of the girls to say something, but none of them were embarrassed.

He sighs, shaking his head a little while smiling as Loren walks up to the chest and book.

"If you're interested, you have my permission to read this book, I have been writing in what I am holding, but for the chest, I would like it to stay that way as I am saving this chest for a surprise later."

"That chest does also play a part too in your plan." Enidut Pathwarrior asked.

"It does, but that is not what I am here to talk about here, someone here who has done something wrong."

Loren turns to Cecelia who was too ashamed to look him in the eye.

"Even though you Cecelia have done something wrong, you even did something right by making sure that these two items of mine were safe."

"Yes I thought I should keep them with me, but sadly the princess got a little look into it."

"So she has, I ran into her brother not too long, he too knows which means that makes two people only for now until the king hears about this depending this can be kept well quiet. Oh well I have to worry about that later anyway let me begin talking about you."

Cecelia starts to worry when Loren focuses on her now, he notices that.

"Right starting tomorrow you will go pay a nice visit to princess Hannah to apologize to her."

"What!? Why should I be the one doing that."

Needing not to say a word to her, all he did was give Cecelia a deadly glaring stare.

"I mean…. Yes Loren, I will make sure that it is done." she side bowed her head.

"Good, I am asking this as you are the bigger person and keep further problems like this from happening again. When you are done with that come to me as there is still punishment to be done, but there will also be a reward."

Hearing that made Cecelia feel a little at ease knowing that she would at least be rewarded there.

"Alright I believe things are done here as there is no need to further talk to be done. I am taking my book with me, but my chest will be staying with Cecelia, I trust you with it."

"Thank you I will make sure that no one ever comes near or discovers it." Cecelia tells him with determination to not fail him with this.

"Lovely to hea, now Angelina time for bed, I am in need of sleep."

Angelina follows behind him while sticking her tongue at Enidut Pathwarrior.

She responds back with giving her the middle finger as that, she says her goodbye to Cecelia.

Now along the girl grabs the chest holding it close to her chest.

"Loren trusts the chest to me, he trusts me which means, I have to not disappoint him."

She holds the chest closer to her chest while having a big smile on her face.

-----------------------------------

Diloar SwordCarver arrived where the working girls were gathered together by Debora.

She quickly notices him coming toward her.

"Here they are gathered together and ready to listen to whatever Loren has told you."

He looks at the girls as they look at him talking among each other in whispers surly about how good looking he is yet of course these women were also wondering what happened to their boss, the man who owns the brothel.

They don't even see the man and there is only one thing on their minds for that reason, he can be dead as that what they hope.

"I understand that you have some questions about what is going on. My master should be the one telling you girls, but there are other matters he has to take care of."

Diloar SwordCarver said to them as Debora was the next one to talk.

"Pay attention closely girls this is important for all of you to hear things are going to be changing here."

They listen to her as well as Diloar SwordCarver take note that the girls have a high respect for Debora.

"You should know that your boss has been removed no longer running this brothel which means you girls now have a new boss running the place and that is master Loren."

The girls were taken back to hear that the young man who paid a visit here had taken over within a short time.

"No match is going to be changed for now things are going to go on as they have been, but before that is to happen, he informs me to tell you all that if you wish to no longer work here then you are free to leave."

This news shocks them the most, even Debora who was not told about this as and sees the brothel losing business if some of the girls decide to leave.

"Is Loren mad in the head why would he do this elf do you have any idea what would happen."

"Yes as my master does as well, he gives these women a chance to finally be free and live a new life then stay forever in this lifestyle.

She can understand and would without a second thought stop these girls from wanting to leave, but as a skilled woman who knows the way of business as it can also be a problem looking for new girls to replace those that leave.

Debora turns to them awaiting to see if any of those girls will take the offer of freedom.

Yet none made the move as that was supring sight to see.

"Will this new boss treat us better than that asshole." one of the girls asked.

"Yes my master intends to treat you all fairly as long you all don't try anything to backstab him and still be loyal to him then he will take very good care of you all."

They look at each other talking about where none has left yet it may seem they don't want to leave these girls. It's more like what they can do outside if free.

"Along with that the guards will be replaced for better ones by my master to protect this place and you all as of now there is only one."

Diloar SwordCarver tells them which was happy news to hear as they hope that new ones would be better and wonder who the only one could be.

"Everything will be taking care of my girls as it seems we will be having a more pleasant time and be rewarded more here in this brothel by the new boss."

Debora tells them and of course they trust her as she always had their best at heart.

Noting further to talk about as He was done with telling them all that was needed to be told from Loren.

Diloar SwordCarver was going to leave, but he was stopped by Debora.

"Hey don't pull a shit like that again if I am going to be a partner working alongside Loren, I need to know to be informed of decisions like these he is making."

"Relax important decisions you will be a part of, he only did this because he thought girls deserve it."

"Well that's nice of him, but if knows the way of business then having any of them leave means we would have to find new ones and train those new girls which would cast time and money."

Diloar SwordCarver turns to her.

"That won't be a problem my master would have taken care of that easily."

"Yeah whatever, just keep in mind what I said." Debora tells him as she goes back to her girls.

He then resumed back to leaving to do what he must in the brothel until Loren came to pay another visit.

----------------------------------

Loren sleeps yet as he does his eyes open to find himself standing within a city burning.

"What is this a dream or a nightmare."

He looks around to see shadows fingers of men fighting against each other as there is the sound of weapons clashing to one another along with the sounds of screams and cries.

Blood spills everywhere and bodies falling on the cold hard ground even the innocent are also a part of it.

"Why am I seeing this? I do not believe this is what I think it is. No, there is a reason I am seeing this."

Loren walks among the chaos happening around him as no one can hear, see or even touch as they pass through him like he wasn't even there.

As he walks Loren tries to make sure to take in everything until stopping upon a familiar building.

"A castle….. Then what I am seeing is some kingdoms being attacked, but that question, I what to know is when did this take place unless this is related to what I have been seeing."

Loren wonders as that is when the scene begins to change around him and soon sees himself now standing within the castle located which seems to be inside a throne room.

At this moment he sees that the area is filled with blood and bodies just like outside there are about a few still fighting.

Yet that does not catch Loren's eye as his attention was focusing on two fingers, but he can see them well as they are like two standing shadows.

Loren could tell that least each of these fingers was one of a female and the other of that a male.

They were fighting giving everything they have to kill the other

"What is this now that I am seeing, I do not understand the reason why I am being shown this."

"This…. Is the….. Past."

He Hears that familiar voice as that belongs to the spiritual entity that has been watching him.

Loren quickly sees the thing standing right beside him which causes everything to crash into darkness.

He then truly awakens screaming, opening his eyes to see reality again breathing heaving while feeling sweets all over his body.

"Big brother is something wrong, did you have a nightmare?" Angelina asks, worrying.

Loren didn't answer her, instead rushly left out the bed leaving the room.

"Where are you going." she was going to follow him, he stopped her from doing so.

"Don't! I need…. To be alone right now Angelia please stay in bed."

Angelina wanted to deny it, but by the way Loren acted she had no other choice.

"Thank you." he said to her and left the room to quickly find a place to be alone.

Lucky that place was outside on the castle's walls where he could look up at the night skies and feel the cold breeze.

"Damn it what was that I just saw and the entity was there could it be trying now to connect with me."

While thinking Loren can feel that same entity appearing behind him.

"You have come again which could only mean you are trying to reach out to me now."

He asked yet there was only silence in the air that was annoying Loren.

"Enough! Of the damn silence speak or begone from me." Loren tells the entity.

It still stands in place seeking knowledge interesting in living and he can see that as Loren turns to face the spirit.

"No living then tell what is that you want from me."

"To learn from the past." the entity finally speaks better this time then the last time.

"Good it seems you are willing to talk, so what do you mean learn from the past who does it belong to."

The entity moved its hands pointing to itself. Loren was a little surprised as he thought it was going to be him.

"That was your, but what am I supposed to learn from it? I had no clue who you were and what I just saw."

"What you saw was home being attacked before you were born or should I say your father."

"Home being attacked by who and who are you if you were there to know this."

Loren awaited to be answered from this thing and instead it spoke of the entity putting up a hand towards him.

"Grab my hand if you wish to know." it said to him.

Loren looked at it and thought about this carefully, he did want to know, but not a fool to take a risk chance without needing to.

Look like it one of those times to take a risk as Loren sees no other ways to learn then to take this thing hand.

"Alright I do it, I am putting my trust in you, but try anything with me and I swear even if you're just a spirit, I will find a way to make you suffer on a whole new level like never before."

The entity laughed amused with the threat that was given by him as then Loren grabbed the hand and felt himself going to sleep.

Darkness was what he saw until things cleared up where Loren could see a bright blue sky and to find himself still standing outside.

"I have a feeling this isn't the same thing, I saw before." Loren thinks

Looking behind him to see a city that he is familiar with very well as Loren now knows and remember that this is home.

"Knowing that this is home makes a little sense only what time this took place."

Loren turned his attention to look in front to surprisingly see a huge army standing not too close or far in distances from where he was standing.

There were even men standing on top of the walls that protected the city holding their bows ready to fire when the enemy made a move.

"So this is before the attack started yet who is the one ruling home and who is the one attacking."

One of those things was about as Loren got sight of the army splitting open in the middle creating a pathway for a single person to walk through.

"Here she comes to end a great change that was supposed to mark this world's history."

The entity appears beside Loren, he shows no reaction as it was quickly easy to get used to.

"I knew you were going to pop up, but what do you mean by your words."

"Look and you would see."

Loren listens to it focusing his eye on that single person now knowing that it is she riding towards the front.

Once reached, that person takes a moment to take in the sight of the kingdom walls.

Next thing to happen that person raises both hands to grab onto the helmet covering the face taking it off to show a young bestfule woman.

Loren was shocked to see who it was that came forward.

"Grandmother Gwendolyn was the one to attack home for what to gain the throne and if so who was it to battle against her."

"I was that person to have to stand face to face with her no one else can at such an equal level of power then that of one's own blood."

Loren quickly turned to the entity once hearing it said that he never heard and learned anything about his grandmother having a brother.

"Shocking isn't no doubt that my sister did everything in her power to make sure I was to never be known like a shameful secret that should be kept hidden away, but truly it's more of her not wanting anyone learning what she really is."

"And what is she, now let me re-ask that what is our family because I already know my mother's side."

"Yes you were born with the gift of the dead, but there is another at equal power."

Loren interest began to grow more from hearing this.

"But first let me show you something that you should know more about, dear grandmother."

Everything starts to change into a scene where it is nighttime outside and they are now inside a building which Loren is familiar with.

"Now we're inside the castle in a room, what would I be seeing this time." Loren thought as he looked around, noticing only two things.

The first one was a young maid who was taking care of a baby inside a crib.

He walks up to see that it is clear that the baby is him once getting a good look at no doubt being the only child of the king to have white hair.

"Pay close attention, the good part is about to start Loren."

The entity tells him as he hears the sound of the door opening as Loren and the maid both turn their heads toward that direction.

Once completely open the person who entered was no other than Lady Gwendolyn, mother of king Vernon.

The maid reacted in a respectful way by bowing her head toward the women.

"Lady Gwendolyn, what a surprise this is, I take it that you have come to visit your grandson."

Gwendolyn didn't answer the girl right away, she took a moment to look at the crib.

"Yes, I wanted to see him and have alone time with my grandson." she said.

"Ah yes, I understand, but the king has ordered me to watch over and care for the boy, I can not leave yet you are welcome to still spend some time with him."

"Pitiful, I wanted to spare your life not wanting to dirt my hands more then need to."

Gwendolyn does a quick movement with one of her hands as it passes across the maid throat.

Within just a second blood began to gush out of her neck as she fell completely to the floor dying into the end.

The grandmother slowly walked up to the baby version of Loren as the present one was in a shock state to what he just showed happened.

"What a beautiful child you are. I wish that I hadn't had to do this, but I must in order to prevent history repeating itself."

Loren watches as he sees her pick up the baby version of him into her arms soon leaving the room.

"What does she plan to do?"
