Trip

Under the cold night, I was standing in the balcony and staring at blue moon surrounded by the multiple stars in the night. then a sudden breeze dishevels my hair, but my eyes fixed on the moon.

No matter how many times I regressed I never hated the moon. Even though I was bored of this scenery after seeing again and again, I never hate and bored while looking at the moon, it reminded me of something I have lost.

Deja vu...It was funny to say that I have something like that now, even breathing here thinking about this thing, I don't know how many times I have repeated this.

walking back into my room, I sat on the desk and wrote something on the paper stealthily and lay down on the bed and close my eyes.

I haven't trained a single time despite being cured because I know that my biological father aka Alex Ivansia placed assassins around my room to notice my movements.

*Knock, knock*

then someone knocked on my door I opened my eyes and walked toward the door and sees my stepbrother standing with the food in his hand.

he then sees me and want to speak something but before he could say something I gave him signal with my hand and speak in a voice without an emotion

" Come in "

with a smile he enters and follows me and sit on the old chair and I sit on the other chair opposite to him.

*clank*

he put down the food tray, he brought some food because no one has given me good food as I am an illegitimate son, so maids don't even care about me and give me some left-over food.

"I-I brought some food "

"And?"

he lowers his head and can't speak due to the guilt of the things he has done, but I can't bear this any longer

Rex didn't know how to start. he continued to peek at me every so often while staring at my feet. he lightly bit down on his lips a couple of times. he didn't like this personality of his very much. At that moment, Rex heard a cold voice.

"Spit it out."

"Pardon?"

and then he lifted his head up to see me. This was the first time he made eye contact with me since coming into the room. he kept eye contact with me, as I continued to speak.

"Good. When you are talking to someone, you should make eye contact like this."

I continued on.

"Spit out everything you want to say."

I looked back at him, who was looking at me with a blank expression on his face.

"I will at least listen to what you have to say."

I speak out of my way; doesn't mean I am encouraging him, I did it because it's necessary for the future as he will become the future marquis and one of the main party members of hero.

"Ah."

he let out a gasp. he clenched his fidgeting hands and finally started to speak.

"I am sorry."

tilting my head, I ask without an ounce of emotion on my face

"Sorry for what?"

"Because I was the reason you have been in coma for two years"

yes, he is the reason why I goes into the two years coma because I protected him from demonic beast. looking back at my past self, I was kind of pathetic.

"And why was that your fault?"

he bites his lips

"Because if not for my egoistic request for going outside the palace, this will not happen."

Rex lives alone from the childhood, he never had friend because his father restricts him from going outside and always trained him so he will become great marquis.

but this only leads him to become lonely his whole life and then he became friend with me even though everyone hated me, he is the only one who treat me kindly and gives me food, maybe that's the reason I couldn't neglect his request that time.

but it doesn't matter anymore, and he is also the one who kept me alive for 2 years because if he doesn't pester his mother, I would have killed from the start and most importantly.

I also don't know whether I should be thankful or hate him for keeping me alive for these 2 years because if not for him, I probably will not be fall into this time loop.

but at this point of time where I lose all of my

emotions, I only have one answer

"I don't care anymore"

after he hears my answer when he was looking into my eyes, he felt suffocated for the second and he felt fear for the time being. He was feeling guilty, but my last answer gave him chills over his body.

he lowers his head and then again, he hears a voice devoid of emotions

"If you really want my apology "

he lifts up his head and sees me taking out a paper from my pocket

" Take this paper"

not understanding about the paper, he asks

" What I have to do with this paper?"

shaking my head

" Nothing, owner of this paper will find you himself "

still not understanding he lower his head, took the paper and leave the room

*clack*

closing my eyes, I mumbled

"toy is working as they needed to be"

*******************

Rex is going in the hallway to his room, he doesn't understand the meaning of paper I have given to him, and he doesn't open it because I ask him not to, but he was happy as well as scared after talking to me.

'I felt like he will kill me if I go against his will'

disturbing his thoughts was a kind voice which seems to be full of worries

" Where are you coming from?"

Rex lifts his head and sees

"F-f-father?"

"Are you coming from Lapse room?"

Rex bites his lips and nods

"Yes father"

his father hugs and lift him upward and ask

" And what does brother give you?"

a sudden realization stuck his mind, and he smiles and gives a letter to him

" Brother asks me to give it to you "

"Me?"

he continued

"And what did he say?"

"Brother said the owner of this paper will find you himself"

Alex narrowed his eyes, grabbed the paper and spoke

"Ok, it's late at night go to the sleep, you have to wake up early and say goodbye to your brother too"

Alex put down Rex and rex run toward his room

when Rex leaves, Alex expression got twisted and replaced with a cold expression, it feels like all that previous kind expression just was a facade.

he opens the page and contents as following

[ You have already known that I save the life of Rex, so prepare the ingredients as given below -----------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------]

he tears the paper in the half, calls someone and a person appeared from the thin air, he handles the other half to that person and that person again vanish in the thin air.

"Look like he is somewhat useful, but"

he shook his head

"What a pity."

*********************

morning comes, I was standing at the gate of the palace with the guards, mercenary team, my personal maid who will follow me on the journey.

on the other side Alex, Rex Ivansia was there. Alex has given me a dimensional pouch, and then Rex came forward and from his pocket and gave me something

"it's an instrument you played when we go out to play"

the instrument he was giving me is harmonica also known as mouth organ left by my mother to me.

I take it and leave in the carriage and with window open

I blew the air into the harmonica and a melodious tone can be hear in the surrounding which will sooth the heart if anybody hears it.

Listening this A smile hung on Rex face and with a loud voice he raises his hands and waving he speaks

" Live well brother and send the letter continuously"

when Alex hears the melodious tone, he mutters

" I remember this instrument, the melodious tone of this instrument captures multiple heart of people"

As for me, I have gone to the trip to the north.

AH! did I say A trip, let me correct myself, it will be a hellish ride which previously takes me more than hundred lives just to get out of this death flag.
