my first happiness

" What does the letter say?"

" It says that we should send one of our kids to the north to fight the monsters"

" mommy I don't wanna go there"

" it's alright honey, no one is gonna send you there" says the mother to her child while caressing her head"

" Celea"

" you dont even need to ask I already red that letter 2 days ago, I already finished packing I'll live tomorrow"

" Oh I see"

" I have a long way tomorrow I'm going to go sleep now you keep eating"

" Alright than, good night"

****

" a kid? why would they send us a kid?"

" I don't know sir"

*sigh*

" kid what's your name?"

" Celea"

" Celea go back home this isn't a place for kids it's very dangerous here"

" I refuse" Celea calmly refused him

" you could die"

" do I look like someone who's attached to life, Duke?" Celea asked him

the Duke looked at her dead eyes and knew she wasn't bluffing

" look kid if you are trying to commit suicide here go somewhere else"

" I never said I'll commit suicide tho"

" you going to fight the monsters is suicide"

" Is that so? than shall we put your theory to proof?"

Celea than took out her sword that she had hidden under her Cape and jumped from up the gate where they were discussing not so long ago

" what is she doing?!" the Duke and his butler went to the edge to see if she's still alive after confirming she was still alive the butler said

"come back up kid it's dangerous out there" Celea than looked up at the Duke and smirked

" did that kid just smirked at me?"

" Yes.Yes she did"

soon after monster surrounded Celea

" this kid..."

The Duke was about to jump after her and save her but instead was stunned by what he was seeing it was a 12 years old child swinging the sword as a professional and killing all those monsters as if it was nothing

" Butler...do you see what I'm seeing?"

"Yes.Yes I do" said the butler just as stunned

" dont get me wrong Duke I don't need you to commit suicide I'm capable of doing it alone" says Celea while looking up at the Duke

" this damn kid trying to be cool with me, get her up Samuel" commanded the Duke to the butler " Yes sir" and he went to pick her up

" so what did you think of my suicide attempt Duke?" asked Celea sarcasticly

" you little smart mouth don't you think your to sarcastic for your age

" I believe I have just the right amount of sarcasm" the Duke than gave her a knock on the head

" hei that's child abuse" reported Celea

" this little brat"

Samuel started giggling at the twos interaction and similarities

" what are you laughing at?" the butler got asked by both of them at the same time

yep they are definitely alike they even have the same white hair and blue eyes, could she be an illegitimate kid or something

" I didn't know woman are aloud to learn sword fighting at the south"

" they are not"

" than did your father thought you than?"

" you mean the guy who sometimes even forgets he has another daughter? no he didn't thought me"

" than how did you learn?"

" I've been hanging out with criminals most of the time"

Duke and Samuel look at each other

" what king of criminals?"

" you know gangsters, thefts this king of criminals"

Duke and Samuel look at each other again

the Duke sighted and put his head on his forehead

" Samuel show her her room"

" Yes duke"

" Celea, welcome to the Dragnil family"

" nice to be here"

***

" Call me father"

" why would I do that"

" because your my daughter"

" I'm not"

" than I'll adopt you"

* sigh*

" come on Cele you've bee to the north for almost 10 years, don't you think it's time for you to call me father, who knows maybe you are my real daughter you look exactly like me"

" really?"

" yes really call me father"

" Samuel did you put something in uncles food?"

"No.No that's just him"

" why do you even want me to call you father?"

" I told you, your my daughter"

" DUKE WE ARE UNDER ATTACK! "

" is it the monsters?"

" no it's humans the capital has declared war on us"

" that stupid king, couldn't accept we are richer then him"

Celea and The Duke took out their swords and went to the battlefield

****

" why are there so many of them?" Celea

" I don't know the king must've pulled some dirty tricks" Duke

" they even got the monsters on their side, what is this hypnosis" Celea

" They got a witch on their side, but where did they found one they are very rare?" Duke

" ah, uncle I also know a witch"

" Did you find her while being a gangster?"

*giggle*

"yes*

" Samuel go to this place and find this person tell her my name and our situation she'll help you from there"

" that will take 3 days, do you think you can hold it for this long?"

" What do you think uncle can we" Celea was looking at the Duke with a smile on her lips

" Call me father"

" oh, excuse me let me correct myself"

" what do you think father, can we?"

the Duke than smiled and responded

" of course dear daughter"

Samuel than left and Celea and her father kept fighting

****

*heavy breathing*

Celea and the Duke were exhaust, they fought for 3 days straight

" Celea!"

Celea turned around to see her old friend

" Celea I missed you so much"

" yeah, yeah I missed you too Monica but we are in a kind of situation that will have to live the reunion for later, now how about you deal with this monsters before I pass out?"

" Oh yeah sure"

" Monica than said some kind of ancient incantation and the monsters fell to the ground

* exhale*

" finaly"

" Celea behind you" a knight that was fallen to the ground used his last energy to make a one last kill and that sword was targeting Celea but the Duke jumped right in front that sword and took the stab for her

Celea was terrified at the scene before her it was her father with a sword thru his stomach. The Duke fell into her arms Celea fell to her knees with him still in her arms

" No...."

he took her cheeks on his palms

" be...happy...my daughter"

" father..."

the Duke smiled before completely passing away

"NNNNOOOOO!!!!"

* Boom* a very stong wind came from Celea that flew every thing away Monica took the butler and teleported away

****

" Celea you should get up" said Monica

Celea didn't move from that position for the past 3 days

" you have to eat something..." said the butler

Celea tightened her grip on her father never letting him out off her arms

He was my first happiness, why did he leave me, why did he had to take that stab for me. I never knew what real happiness is till I met you I also never knew how it really feels to have your heard turn into dust till this very moment

please come back

these were all the thoughts and feelings Celea had. Celea stayed like that till she gave her las breath and she too passed away

****

So it wasn't just a nightmare back than, I'm so stupid I didn't even ask her about it"

Claus saw Celeas 15th life this time, it was her nightmare 50 years ago after she accepted him

" what have I done?"
