Chapter 2

"What was that dream all about?"

Geordo opened his eyes. He was still at the training ground laying on the grass.

"That old man could've put me to bed or something comfortable. Well... I'm just a bodyguard so..."

He didn't remember all of the things that happened in his dream. He just walked back on the mansion where Lady Laleigne also lived. But instead of sleeping or just slacking off, He went outside the room where the Lady is.

'I... have to be useful and get stronger to protect her. Or that Old Man will kick me out again...'

"Sigh..."

"Why are you sighing? Aren't you supposed to be sleeping right now?"

Because of extreme tiredness, he doesn't notice that the Lady is already there outside the room.

"E-eh... I'm not that Tired actually... Yawn!!"

"See? You're yawning again."

"No that's umm... Okay..."

Geordo walks towards his room just two rooms far from Laleigne. He opened the door slowly while watching the Lady went inside her room. And when she does, Geordo also went inside his room laying on his bed and fell asleep... Again.

And also AGAIN, as soon as he went sleeping...

"What's this..."

The nothingness... All black, Nothing to be seen. Geordo slowly regained his memory again from that place...

The sword, The wind... All of it. But something is strange...

"Where is... the sword?"

After a minute of just standing from his starting position, a weird sound was heard coming to him.

Swoosh!! Crack!!

The sword. It's the sword from before that he unstuck. And it's there again... stuck. The same as before the sword is glowing purple.

A purple sword matches Geordo's eyes. When Geordo realizes that he thinks that fate must've brought him to it or this is all just a hallucination caused by Extreme tiredness.

"If I remember correctly... The next one is..."

He quickly ran towards the sword and gripped it as tight as he can.

"Wind!!"

It's like also fate is playing with him. There's no Wind from below whatsoever.

"Heh... I guess you just want me to be like an idiot huh?"

A familiar sound was heard above. But it's not a Sword

Fwoosh!!

A wind coming from above stronger than the previous ones. The wind pushed him down making his body cannot move a bit.

"You wanna play this game huh? I... I haven't worked hard enough to protect her... and you think I'm gonna give up just now?"

Slowly, Geordo is standing up very slowly.

Fwoosh!!

A much more powerful blow from above making him kneel down.

"I... I..."

Geordo again slowly stand then walk towards the sword.

Fwoosh!!

That was much stronger but... It didn't move him a bit.

Fwoosh!!

Not a bit.

Fwoosh!!

It continued to be like that until He can grip the sword again.

Then When he tried to pull it...

'It's not that heavy than before.

He then slowly pulled it out then slash it above making a loud sound of Slashing

SWOOSH!!!

And He's back again in his bed and like before He slowly forgetting all of it. Everything that happens in that place.

He went outside the room. And like always, He wants to guard the Lady.

Geordo was actually a weak guy. Despite training for twelve hours in one week. He gets tired pretty quickly. But even though He's a weakling, He MUST protect the Lady.

Why? Because their family promised to. From more than thousand years ago, the unnamed family protect the Silvia Family. They say it's because the god ordered them to.

There are also rules about this thing like the most and a big DON'T.

Don't love each other. Love between the two families are forbidden. They also say if they do, both of them would die.

-----

While just outside the room Geordo got tired. Quite a sleepyhead actually.

He sat down and slowly fell asleep.

Creak....

Like Lady Laleigne was planning. Geordo would just fall asleep. But She does not think Geordo as just a burden. For her, he's just like a little brother she really wants to have.

But Geordo. Lady Laleigne doesn't know but Geordo actually loves Lady Laleigne. Even though he knows that loving her was a forbidden rule. He can't stop loving her.

"Sorry..."

Then she turned around and walk away from Geordo. But as soon as she took a step, Geordo grabbed her hands making her stop.

"Where are you going, Lady Laleigne?"

"I don't want you to get involved with me."

"I...had a nightmare before. I can't remember what it was but... I know it's a nightmare. That's why I can't just sleep right now."

"You mean that dream again..."

"Yes..."

Every night after He got extremely tired, He got that bad dream. It's not that Sword and Wind.

"Did you saw my mother?"

He saw Lady Laleigne's Mother at the start of his dream. That's the biological mother of Laleigne. She got burned to ashes.

"Did she say something to you?"

"... No..."
