《Judah Judas Adventures》Chapter 23 - Emily, Big Gus and Brothers Flint - Part 2

"Um... I was raised on the streets and I got a mother... but for a short time." I respond feeling awkward because this was the first time when someone almost knows how I was born, not even the nuns asked how I was born, or where I am from. "B-But how do you know?"

"You see... Your mother was... a part of my family," says Emily made me shocked because this was the first time when someone told me I was in a family.

In all these years of thinking I was alone and not having a family or blood relative with my mother ... they were a big lie. At first, it was hard to believe, but then I decided, just to be sure, to start asking Emily a few things, just to make sure she was really telling the truth or it's just a hoax of hers and those knights.

"Say... You know my mother... But, why did you make her live on the streets?" I asked Emily, who has started to look worried at me.

"Your mother... It has never been like that. You see, she was always a girl to do the housework, she took care of all the people, be they disfigured or seriously ill, she always offered them help ... Your mother was a valuable member of the family because she had her own house, but she did not live in a landfill. She lived in one of the large buildings with a knight, and that knight was married to her for a short time. This woman always wanted a child, but the gentleman with whom he was married had hated them and severely punished her for such a thing, beat her with a stick in her bare skin, threw her in the streets for a night after which the day received her back, or ... he even tied it to a tree once ..."

"I-I don't believe it."

Emily looked at me sadly, then at that giant, who told me something I had never believed.

"I am your uncle, Big Gus is my name young Judah."

"What?" I said feeling so surprised and shocked at the same time. I thought to myself: "How can this guy be my uncle?! And how does Emily is a part of my family I never knew I had in the first place?! And don't tell those two little knights who are working on their blades are blood relatives! Holy God! How many lies I have been told this entire life!?"

"Yeah... I know it is hard to believe, but you and Emily are your blood relatives. Emily is my daughter and my squire, and your mother, was and she is still my sister, even though she is gone."

"B-B-But why did you let her live on the street?! You are lying to me! A family will never let their own blood relative live on a street, right? Not when she has a child who got later on sent to an Orphanage! You are a liar."

The girl named Emily sighs deeply then begins to take a parchment out of the backpack she has on her back. this girl, who may be a blood relative to me, holds back her tears before she hands me the parchment, then she looks at that giant who understands her and decides to take the parchment and hand it to her. I have no idea what all this means, but it's certainly not a funny thing or a serious one, but more sad judging by the tears on my face and the fact that that giant looked at me in pain when he handed me the parchment.

I take that parchment in my left hand, after which, being very curious, I decide to read what is inscribed, and there I discover something that I would have liked not to be true or that I would never have read. In that parchment is written a kind of letter ... which is written by my mother herself if it is to follow the way it is written. This letter made me regret what I said earlier to Emily.

On the parchment, it is written: "Dear, son! If you ever read this parchment, it means that I died, and you were released from the orphanage. Unfortunately, everything you thought was actually a lie. The truth is that it was not because of ugliness that I was kicked out of the family, on the contrary, the family I lived in really considered me beautiful even if I didn't have the slightest chance to get married. I'm writing you this parchment because I have to tell you the truth ... You see ... I wasn't some kind of human-animal or half-human-half-mutant. I was a witch, and then witches were seen as monsters in this Kingdom and immediately executed with members of her family, even if they were not mutants. They did this because to "stop the witch virus" and keep human blood. When the family found out that I was a witch, my family decided to immediately evict me from home, from the family I lived in, and from my Kingdom, and I was sent to a kingdom that accepts magicians, but in this kingdom, you cannot work as an adventurer or bounty hunter... In this kingdom, I was forced to work as a prostitute (a term I am embarrassed to tell you for this job is worse than death. While working as a prostitute, I had many risks of giving birth to a child, but I managed to cast a spell and make those fetuses disappear even when they were ready to form. What I did can be considered a crime, but I did it because I was selfish and I was afraid to bear the consequences of raising a child. Even though I was 16 at the time, and having a child at that age is a normal gesture of this time, but once, someone even managed to make me have a child, and that someone is your father, who, unfortunately, died with me. Your father was a special man and different from other people I had exciting evenings. Your father ... James Carl ... He was a knight who had the blood of a magician and was a total man, that is, he was not a man-beast, a man-animal, or who knows what other human creature. ... I lived for a while with that wonderful man, who made the rest of my life very happy. You see, when I gave birth to you, your father and I were the happiest people to ever have you because you looked so beautiful, you were so nice sometimes and even curious, which didn't make us feel what it really means to be a parent. But ... These times did not last long because, while we lived in that kingdom, at a house that is now demolished, some bad people came, who killed us in their sleep and left you at the orphanage. You see, before I could die, I managed to activate a healing spell, but that can't keep me healed for a long time because those bounty hunters used a poison solution that made me and me. let your father melt us and lose pieces of us. Even before I died, I managed to write this letter and call a trusted nun who will keep you at the Orphanage until you grow up and live a beautiful life ... One we could never have. in my home kingdom. Sincerely, your dear mother. P.S. Be happy and have many friends in your life, Judah ... Make us proud to be a Gremory."

After I read this parchment, I looked at Emily, at Big Gus, and I said with tears in my eyes, "I'm sorry I yelled at you and made you a liar! ... I'm really sorry about ... what I did!". And after that, Big Gus and Emily get up from their seat, they come to me and hug me. While I was hugged by those three, I could feel their sadness and regret they had while they had found out this parchment.
