0026 Chapter Twenty Six : Are You the Mouse?
" Do not lie to yourself, that whoever lies to himself, and accepts to be deceived by his lies, becomes unable to see the truth. He no longer sees it in himself or around him, and finally ends up losing his respect for himself and others.
And if he becomes disrespectful to anyone, he becomes disrespectful to anyone, so if it is in order to have fun, because he becomes without love, he surrenders to whims and rushes after base pleasures, and reaches the level of animality.
And all of this is only because he lies without interruption, he lies to others and himself.
War is the path to the unknown
Chapter Twenty Six: Are You the Mouse?
" Well Kayden.. I will agree to this thing.. but tell me what your real family is.. when I saw you asking for work from Michael, you only mentioned your name.. Kayden just like that.. so this thing has been confusing me ever since.
" My family, as people say, is called Steelguard…" Caiden said indifferently
But unlike him, Valentina was very curious
It was known that the family of Stilgard was one of the strongest families in the kingdom, but also the noblest and richest of them .. This family was also called the family of the hero .. the hero who ended the conflict of war between elves and humans
" Did you say that you are from the famous family of Steelgard?" Valentina asked inquiringly
This explained a lot of the things that were going through her mind from the beginning... Kaiden, his beauty, his strength, and even his way of speaking all say that he is from one of the rich nobles.. But Steelgard?
It is true that people began to say that this family has recently begun to deteriorate because of their lack of interest in trade, which was the main source of their income.. but they are still one of the strongest and richest families among people.
" Then why were you working in a crappy restaurant like that? Since you are from one of the wealthy families, why did you bother to get tired in the first place? You understand what I mean right? Valentina asked inquiringly
" It's because of the accident," Caiden said
"An accident? You said?"
"Okay, listen to me
.It is said that a forest was exposed to a big fire, so the animals escaped from it, and among those animals was a snake trying to crawl as fast as it could, perhaps it would have escaped from the fire..
And while she was escaping, and as soon as she got out of the forest, exhausted and thirsty, she looked and found a mouse. At that moment, the mouse was afraid of it, so it wanted to escape, so it called it
And he said, "Don't run away, mouse. I'm saved now, and I won't kill you after this fear I saw."
The mouse stopped and said to her, "I don't understand."
She said to him: "I am thirsty and I want to be your friend from now on, just give me water."
The mouse told her to follow me.
The mouse walked and behind him the snake crawled tired and thirsty...
Until they reached a house that he had prepared and worked hard on for a long time, so he entered and went out with some water to water it from.
The snake drank until it had its fill. Then she said to him: "I want to sleep. Is there a quiet place?"
The good mouse answered, "Go into my house, for it is carefully prepared".
The snake entered, fell asleep, and woke up hours later
She recovered fully, so she looked at the mouse and found it in the house and said, "Listen, I make an agreement with you that I live here, so we do not attack each other, and we live in comfort, security, and peace."
The mouse answered hesitantly, "Yes, yes, I agree."
Minutes later, after the snake toured its new home
According to what she described, the mouse told her I'm going to fetch
Some food and she said to him: "Don't be late!"
The mouse reached the door of his house, and then he turned to the snake and said
"Goodbye forever. Blessed be my home. My life is more important."
The snake called him, "Why do you doubt me?"
He replied, "This is an agreement between the strong and the weak. I have no power over it. Rather, I agreed to it out of fear for my life, and now I am saving it."
Cayden told a bedtime story
" What I understood.. Since you ran away from the house, it seems that you are the mouse.. But who is that snake? Valentina asked inquiringly
" Well, you already learned a lot.. Now it looks like we're done."
Kayden said that and then stood up and started to move
"Tell Mister Michael tomorrow, I think we'll go in a couple of days or something... " Then Kaiden waved his hand as if to say goodbye
And Valentina was left a bit puzzled...
Kaiden started to run fast

" Oh.. finally.. I have to go home and take a shower, the smell of my sweat is very strong at this time.. I will browse the market after that too.. I wonder what is in store for me in the market of the regime today?
I just took a shower after I got home

" Well, you've reached level four? This is very good.. Depending on the games I play, it bodes well.. How I wish I could get to level 30. I want to open and play Frankenstein 1000 hard." Kaiden thought to himself.
" I should learn some magic since I'm going to a magic school anyway," Kaiden thought to himself
( System... Tell me how to buy skills.. I mean, now I want to learn magic for someone who didn't know there was magic before.. A week ago, I didn't know there was magic in the world at all .. Even in the quiet city, which I didn't think would bring me anything, and I also thought it was one of the boring cities... Erast)
