Relatives

"Die, Why can't you just die!?"

"Please die, please disappear!!"

"Why can't you just go away!? How much more do you want to harm us!?"

Many voices, many such voices appeared in the mind of small Erwin. He just wanted to protect his loved ones, who knew he was made into a villain by his own race.

The eyes opened with extreme pain, Erwin groaned and tried to sit up. When he felt the change of place he was startled.

"...It's real?"

The small face had an unbelievable expression, An expression filled with a lifetime of longing and pain.

"Cain? Claude?"

His hoarse voice sounded with a bit of awkwardness, Afterall it's been ages since he called these names. The child saw that no one answered, his face showed no sign of disappointment because he thought.

'Yea...How could that be real? I should be dead and saw Little Claude and Little Cain one last time.'

Before Erwin could go deep into thought, He heard the sound of footsteps, It was a man who appeared in his room.

For a while, Erwin couldn't remember where he saw the man, but he was sure that this person is very familiar.

"Erwin? Little boy why are you not up yet? Your Grandfather said to come tomorrow on time."

The voice was familiar too but he still can't remember who the man was. He stared at the man to see if he could recall anything.

When the man saw that Erwin was not saying anything and his always frozen face had the same frozen and cold expression, he sighed.

"Little boy, Uncle doesn't want to do this but this is your Grandfathers decision. You shouldn't expect much but Uncle will give you some money."

Erwin heard the words and remembered who the man was, His Uncle Suler Faust. And by the words of his Uncle, he figured out the time he was in.

'So it seems there is no choice...'

Erwin thought back to the time when he was abandoned by the Faust family along with his siblings. Faust family always had one sick seedling in every generation. It was said that God's power was given to that sick child because they had silver hair and sapphire blue eyes.

Erwin's father was the sick seedling of his generation and in Erwin's generation, he was the sick seedling. He wasn't actually sick but couldn't use the power inside his body but after the World Invasion, he could use it.

The silver hair and blue eyes were lost after the Incident in which Cain died and his powers vanished, He had common black hair and eyes and became useless.

Recalling the memories, Erwin blinked to clear his head.

"Ok...Uncle, I will be there."

Suler looked at Erwin for a moment and lamented in his heart.

'For my brother to have 3 sick children...Aish, Poor children.'

Because there was no child from Suler and his wife and all three children of the next inheritance were terminally ill, The head of the Faust Family decided to bring new blood and abandoned the old. In this way, Delin Faust, Father of Erwin, Cain, and Claude will lose his 3 children but Delin can't stop it, as he is already dead alongside his wife.

Suler sighed.

"Little boy, Cain, and Claude are only 9. They will need medicine for their sickness and you know your condition. You should pack medicine too, These days they are not cheap."

Erwin who was dizzy because of his sick body nodded. He will be abandoned tomorrow. Time is tight.

Suler left after advising Erwin who was 11 years old now.

Erwin lifted his arm after a long struggle.

"It seems I can't change much..."

Erwin kept trying to move his legs and arms. An hour passed and he failed to lift his legs and only lifted his arms twice or thrice.

Cain and Claude's fever relapsed last night and they didn't come today. Erwin sat on his bed supported by the bedboard.

'Meds, money, clothes, food, books, and most important, Faust Legacy. But I can't even move my body, how to steal all of them?'

He couldn't think as he got dizzy.

"This body...is too weak.."

Erwin closed his eyes and thought of how to do things when he felt a familiar feeling inside him.

Faust's bloodline gave two powers in total, Ice and Space.

The feeling Erwin felt was his space.

He was scared.

He had lost his space long ago, he was devastated when he found the power in him gone. Now that it has reappeared, Erwin was scared, What if he is dreaming? What if all this is not true?

After taking in a deep breath and finding that the feeling was still there, he stimulated his power.

The scene in front of him changed in a millisecond.

When Erwin saw the familiar scene, he felt his eyes hot.

'...I am back...I really came back! I still haven't lost anyone? No, They are still safe...It's not a dream...'

Erwin looked at the space with unimaginable longing, he felt safe when he was here.

He tried to stand up but couldn't. Aish, He was after all still an 11-year-old sick seedling of the Faust family who will be abandoned tomorrow.

The sound of water came from behind him, He looked back to see the familiar river but there was a weird sight that greeted him.

The river was still the same and the green grass along with it with mountains behind was still the same however there was a huge Golden egg, Huge...No it was a gigantic Golden egg and right in the middle of the river...

"An egg?"

the shape was the same as an egg but somehow it was too big.

"Is it a dinosaur's egg?"

Erwin couldn't move to go and investigate the Origin of the egg in his space so he left it be and again looked at the scenery of space, The vast plains, the Clear blue sky with white fluffy fragments of clouds, The mountains in view, and the river behind. Nature was the same except that there was no living organism.

Erwin spent 20 mins in space and came out, He was hungry.

"Is there anyone?"

Erwin and his little sibling's room always had one servant outside the room. And as expected by Erwin there was a Maid.

"I am hungry."

"Young Master, Your breakfast is already prepared, But it may be cold now, Shall I reheat it?"

"Alright go."

"Please wait, Young Master."

After that, the maid almost left when Erwin called her back.

"Wait."

The maid looked back with puzzlement.

"Go and get all the medicine of my brothers and mine, All of them."

The maid paused but nodded and left.

Now that Erwin had his space back, he could store many things.

Without delay, He quickly assigned servants to get him all clothes of his brothers and his, Many fruits and vegetables were selected by him too, Frozen meat and all stock available. He lived in a separate mansion with his brothers, So everything here was for their use. Now that they will be thrown out tomorrow, he should pack all.

Except for Money and Faust's legacy. Erwin had packed other things in his space and fired all servants, they will leave tomorrow alongside him.

He has already gone to his brother's room with help of servants. Now he can take some steps but with pain.

Cain and Claude's fever lightened after a day and they were asleep now.

Erwin was reading a book on the couch when he heard a knock on the room door.

'Who can it be this late at night?'

"Come in."

Erwin looked at the time which showed half-past 11 Am.

When the door opened, He saw a familiar person still forgotten by him.

When the woman came in, she smiled gently at Erwin, who was looking at him.

"Aunt?"

Erwin called out in a questioning manner, which was awkward for anyone who heard it, but the woman only nodded gently.

Erwin's aunt was his Uncle Suler's wife, they had no child because his aunt had an accident but his Uncle still loved his aunt because of which his grandfather hated both his children. As they gave him no child who could inherit Faust's family.

Anyway, this Aunt never interacted much with them, and as far as he remembers she didn't come to meet them this night? Or maybe he missed her while he slept?

"Little Erwin?"

Erwin heard the gentle voice and came out of his trance, he asked her to sit and sent a servant for tea which she politely declined.

"Little Erwin, I am here just for a moment, This is the money your Uncle has sent you. It's 50 lack raos."

She took a black small handbag And took out the bundle of red money papers.

Erwin looked at her and then at the money.

"Don't decline, this is all we can do as your relatives."

Before Erwin said anything, he heard his aunt's soft voice.

He sighed and nodded. With all the preparation done, They can easily live for a year before they meet 'Dad' again.

Their 'dad' may not be their real father but he was more than that for them. He lost him too before World Invasion. Now that he is back, he will not let the tragedy repeat and also helps 'dad' get together with his lover early.

Erwin who was in his thoughts again heard his Aunt's voice.

"If...If you want I can ask my elder brother to take care of you, He is not married, You can live easily-"

"Aunt. It's alright, Grandfather won't let us near him, But thanks, Aunt."

This small act of kindness, He knows that his aunt won't be any better if his Grandfather knows. Erwin smiled slightly which was shockingly beautiful on his pure white face with those unique silver hair and blue eyes.

But the meaning behind his smile wasn't simple.
