C4 : Unknown state (1)

I don’t know which house did he come from, but that Kid seems to be at the same age as Russel. Except for his countenance, he looks exactly the same as Russel’s age kid.

Well, it always good to make a relationship with the other, aside from that Lydelia seems to took interest in that kid. Look at that face… oh my… he really already have the same charisma as a gigolo at that age?...

We approach him, and ask to play with us. He seems want to reject us, but looking at Lia’s face, he change his answer.

Hmm, did he fall in love with Lia? She is the kingdom’s princess after all aside from her tomboy side; she is without a doubt a beauty.

By the time, he more and more open. And showing his childish side. After all, he just a 7 years old kid. The same as Russel, a spoiled brat. The time goes on, and by the evening. Even though, we never did ask his name. He happen to already know ours, so we’re not really ask him his name...

But, at the time we reach out of the guard eyes. He starts shouting, ‘GUARDS! COME HERE FAST!’ and Run to us while brandishing a sword… it’s size is approximately as long as my arm, it may be counted as short sword but, that thing still have a weight that could make me soak in sweat if I swing it more than dozen of times…

But, he… not only use 1… he used 2 sword, it‘s a dual wielding... his appearance with that short sword almost the same as a normal guard while holding a sword. The only difference is their size. At this time I still quite puzzled, why did he brandish the short swords…?

However, it’s a sad thing. But, I realize the truth not long after. There’s 4 person who comes out from the shadow, and while running, they shot the dagger and several needles to us. No, it’s just me, and my siblings. Still, that kid protects us. Not once, not twice, he continuously deflects that dagger, that flying towards us.

Times ticking, in my head, every second, every moment is very slow. While looking at the kid who soaks in sweat and blood in front of me. My hand clenching hard, I don’t even feel the pain.

When I see him, something in my mind calling to me ‘look at that kid… he’s the same age as Russel, but he’s so strong… it should be you! The crown prince whom protecting him! He is at the same age as Russel! Yet… he protects you! Don’t you have any shame?’.

My heartbeat quicken, my head beating, loudly, the voice become more and more loud. Not even I realize that my palm already bleeding. Then, at the time the assassins fatally wounded. They crazily attacking us together, while the kid who already soaked in sweat and blood… only his back, I could only see his trembling back.

Even I know that he pant heavily, but, I kept holding my siblings who trembled in fear. I too am, the same… being scared and afraid…

“Prince! Princess! Stop your attack you damn rats!”

Don’t fucking shout! Just go there and kick those assassins ass already! Why did you agitate him!

I mad at the stupid guard who shout, but that just in my mind. While my eyes, focus on the small back, that able to deflect and even kill 2 assassins…

*thud* *clank* *clank*

The swords in his hands dropped, at the same time as his body. Not even waiting any more second, he pass out. Not long after, the guards were able to apprehend the assassins. Then, the nobles who had a meeting in the castle go out, one by one.

But, among them. Very fast, a good looking middle aged person running to our position. Looking very pale, in verge of crying. Ah… I know him, he’s the newly appointed Duke, from Zhield household.

“LYNN!”

Ah… so he’s a kid from Zhield’s household… his name is… Lynn…

Huh?... my vision… is… turning, black…
