Chapter 107: Mistake Chapter don’t read

The team start asking Nasun about what happened when he went for answers? and nasun respond by telling them that it’s a secret he can’t share, not because he don’t trust them but because this knowladge will hurt them and he can’t let that happen then he show them what under his shirt and they get shocked (btw by the way no valen or levia or doran is present) on his left side chest there are an eye, a bloody circle eye that look over. The team went pale and Nasun explain that it’s a curse because he know somthing he shouldnt The team question if shadows made this curse uppon him or forced him but he eplain that no, this curse is already placed at thier leader and nasun wasn’t forced eirther, he wanted to know despite knowing the result, and now that he know? he is so scared on what future this kingdom will have. seeing that there heroic leader is like this make the team belive that this is a serious situation, they ask him what his next move is and he say that he want to talk with the king for help. the team ask so they go with him but he refuse saying that thier safty is his responsibility and the thing they saw must stay secreat. after that Nasun manage to get a meeting with the king, but to his suprised the king seems unotherd by what Nasun just told him, he just told him that there are this wierd city made of living defored tree race creatures and the king just doesn’t seems to care? then Nasun got cold idea in his mind, maybe he already know... this distract his thoughts and feelings, so he went to another person he went to yourness, and when he meets him he tell him all about what happened but yorness seemes to not belive him especially that the king doesn’t seems botherd he tell him that if the king doesn’t care about it then it’s probably not important, but Nasun doesn’t buy it so he show him the curse, Yorness looks horified at the bloody eye then he ask Nasun with a cold expression of what he mean by this Nasun know, he know that yorness is the most loyal to the king so he talk to him slowly, he start with givnig him the possibility that the king don’t really understanf how big of a situation is this, but yorness desmiss it saying that the king is far superior then anyone eles even among other kings, then Nasun go more deeper and say that this might be the king doing and Yorness thinks about it for a bit , he lower his voice and say that the king sees ppl as pieces, chesse pieces, so if what you are saying is true that the tree race just got dumpt by the king, but this still doesn’t mean anything, then Nasun continu to the point he want to achive saying that maybe this is a plan from the king to use for somthing big, somthing far... horibble then we can imagine? Yorness slam the table and scream at Nasun saying that this is bullshit, do you know what our kingdom looked like before the king comes to fix it? ppl were daying here, my mother told me, she told me how she saw her parents daying from hanger and how she witness my father slicing himself just to feed her as she was pregent with me, fortunatly the king comes in time or she would have give me her flesh to feed me. Then he remind Nasun about his dream of becoming a royal knight and what he is saying right now will not just remove his chance of becoming a royal knight it will mean prison! Nasun just look at him and say that if loosing a name means saving this kingdom then so be it, then leaves letting yorness just twiking in anger. pass forwad acouple days were Nasun just gather ppl around the contenet from diffrent places, from the beastkin kingdom, from the goblin world from the other small countries and each time passes it makes him more and more certen that the only way to save the kingdom is by removeing the king,A woman lay

on the bed, her body trembling as she struggled to breathe. Sweat covered her

pale face, and her thin arms barely had enough strength to hold onto the

sheets.

She looked

exhausted, her eyes rolls up and her mouth opens.

The man

beside her held her hand tightly, trying to hide the fear in his eyes.

"You’re

doing great... just a little longer."

The woman

didn’t answer.

Another

scream escaped her as she pushed with the last of her strength.

Then a cry

filled the room.

A newborn

baby.

The man

froze.

His eyes

widened as he stared at the small child in the doctor’s arms.

A smile

slowly appeared on his face.

"It’s

a boy..."

The doctor

carefully placed the baby into his arms.

The man

looked down at him.

The child

was tiny and weak.

"Valen..."

He gently

touched the baby’s head.

"That’s

what I’ll call you."

He turned

toward his wife.

"Look,

honey. He’s here."

Silence.

The man

blinked.

"Honey?"

She didn’t

move.

His smile

slowly disappeared.

He reached

toward her face.

Nothing.

He touched

her neck.

His hand

began to tremble.

"No..."

His voice

cracked.

"No,

no, no..."

The doctor

lowered his head.

"Sir,

it’s a miracle that she got pregnant in the first place, and it’s more

unbelievable that she managed to give birth to a healthy baby..."

"Almost

impossible to happen, but... she reached her limits, and now she is..."

He stopped there,

unable to announce her death.

The man

stared at his newborn son.

Then at his

wife.

His smile

was completely gone.

"...The

devil."

...

15 years

later.

"VALEN!"

A young boy

ran through the TaskJam building as fast as his legs could carry him.

Behind him,

a middle-aged man chased after him.

"GET

BACK HERE, YOU LITTLE BRAT!"

Valen

looked behind him.

"YOU’LL

NEVER CATCH ME!"

He

immediately turned his head forward.

Bad

decision.

His foot

caught the edge of a wooden box.

"Whoa—"

He fell

face-first toward the floor.

But before

he could hit it, a hand grabbed the back of his shirt.

The man

lifted him into the air like a cat.

"C’mon boy,

how did you even fall there."

Nasun held Valen

with one hand.

He was a

handsome middle-aged man with dark hair, brown eyes, sharp jaw line and a

well-defined face. Despite his age, there was still something youthful about

his appearance, especially the brightness of his eyes.

Valen

laughed.

"Well if

you want to train me..."

"Nope, you

will not live like we do boy."

Nasun

sighed before carrying him toward the next room.

"Yo Gareth

would you mind watch over Valen for the day?"

Nasun

turned to talk with a man sitting on the sofa, he had a massive shield resting

beside him, its surface reinforced with several strange metallic layers.

The man

himself looked strong with muscle showing off his cloths, he quietly looked at

Valen then at Nasun.

"Sure..."

The man

sighed.

He was a

quiet person by nature. He rarely spoke unless necessary, and even then, his

words were usually short.

Nasun

handed Valen over.

"Thank

you so much."

Gareth

nodded as he picked Valen up.

As Nasun

walked away, another voice came from behind him.

"TRAITOR!"

Nasun

chuckel then he turned around to leave.

"Are

you going to the orphinage? Also I want you to control that boy of yours more"

Nasun raised

his head as he heard another voice.

A woman

stood near the wall, crossing her arms.

She had a calme

expression on her face, long hair and bright red lips curved into a confident

smile and there was a spark in her eyes

She was

Team Four’s mage.

Nasun

looked at her.

"Syran,

the boy is 15."

"Levia

was more disciplined when she was 13!"

Syran proudly

raised her chin.

"My

Levia would never run through the building like that."

Nasun

stared at her with mocking smile.

"Your

Levia is probably terrified of you."

Serena’s

smile disappeared.

"That’s

not the point."

"It

sounded like the point."

"It

isn’t."

Nasun

laughed.

Syran crossed

her arms tighter.

"Whatever,

you didn’t answer me yet, are you going to the orphinage again? Cause I would

like to donate today."

Nasun give

her a warm smile before answering.

"I am

accutally going to see the old man, but sure I can help with that."

...

After Nasun

left the base to visite the team three building in the big city and on the way

he stopped at a certen building, and as he enterd he sees children running

towards him.

He fall on

the ground serounded by children smilling and calling his name.

"Unc Nasun!

Unc Nasun is here!"

Nasun

laught warmly at the children and pet them on the head ot haging them tightly.

His mile

grow bigger as more of the chidlren he knew comes looking for him.

Then he

heard a old voice calling him.

"Welcome أيها المحسن

the children really missed you, they wait for you to come every weekend."

An old lady

smiles at him.

Nasun just

scratch his head in embaresemnt before clrearing that today he is here to just

donate not to play with the kids which really shock and upsate the kids!

"What! No

please play with us! Show us some tricks!"

Nasun

apologies to the children and promiss them to vist twice next week and to bring

a lot of gifts as well, he then handed the old lady three silver coins from

Syran then add to her extra ten silver coins.

The old

lady sees the 13 coins and lower her head in embaresment.

"Oh dear,

this is too muck-"

Nasun cutt

of her politly.

"Please

don’t say that, anyone who love and care for these angeles deserve the best."

Then he

leave the orphinage.

Continuing

his way to the city he notice a puppy playing around on the street unaway of

the carage heading toward it.

The driver

didn’t notice the puppy in time so he couldn’t dodge it but then he sees a man

runs over and take the puppy of the street, and soon after the driver stops and

raise his head to realize that he know that man.

"Ah that’s

why I hate working in this our, the sun light effect my vision, thank you for

the help Nasun."

Nasun smile

at the driver while petting the puppy.

"No

problem, also I heard that there are a new type of glasses that protect you

from the sun light, if you want I can search one for you."

"Oh you are

such a great man."

Nasun laugh

at the complement then he notice a dog approchine him wagging her tail.

"Oh you are

probaly the mother, here you go." He puts down the puppy and pet the mother

before moving on.

A few

minutes later, he found himself standing outside the TaskJam and someone familiar

was waiting for him.

Yorness.

He has

thick blond hair, with some of white on the sides. His blue eyes were sharp and

big, and his large nose gave his face a rather distinctive appearance.

Yorness

crossed his arms.

"You

are late."

Nasun

smiled.

"Hello

to you too."

Yorness

frowned.

"You

keep ignoring regulations. Team Four isn’t above the kingdom’s rules."

Nasun

leaned against the wall.

"Are

we doing a poor job?"

"Do

our missions fail?"

Yorness

paused.

"Don’t

play this game with me..."

Nasun

smiles.

"Do we

return with less information than we left with?"

Yorness narrow

his eyes visibly anoyed by this talking.

"We’re

the best team in the kingdom, Yorness."

Yorness click

his toungh but didn’t argue because he knew it was true.

Team Four

had completed mission after mission with an almost ridiculous success rate.

Nasun

pushed himself away from the wall.

"Yorness,

you are indeed so easy to read."

Yorness

frowned.

"What?"

"It

takes a person who simply does their job efficiently and helps the kingdom

improve to win over your respect."

Yorness

stared at him with disgusted eyes as he point at the man in front of him.

"I hate

every thing about you, be glad that the king likes your work."

He pauses

for a moment before rolling his eyes.

"You and

those filthy elves that betryed thier own home, I am sure one day they will

detry us too."

Nasun

laughed.

"First,

it’s impropriate to talk about them like that, they had thier reason for sure."

He pauses to

look at the golden castal shadow at the horisen before continueing.

"I indeed am

greatfull for his majesty support, and one day I will serve him as a royal

guard."

Yorness laught

at him and mocke him.

"Still

with that stupid dream of yours, you are not worthy of becomming one."

Nasun just

smiles at him.

"Well I am

already Tarbi-Awal while still at my thirties so I still got the time to be Ahdeb."

Then he

puts his hand on Yorness shoulder and with a inecent voice ask him.

"Tell me, now

that you are Tarbi-Awal after 40 years, do you feel you can advence?"

Yorness

pushes his hand away and spit at him while screaming.

"Get your ass

down my office now!"

...

After A

long hour of document verification and the old man’s nagging, Nasun finally was

allowed to retrun to his city and on the way he stopped to by some bird food.

When Nasun

returned to the TaskJam building, another familiar face immediately caught his

attention.

A young man

was lying across a couch with his legs hanging over the edge looking relaxed.

He had a

bow resting beside him.

The young

man opened one eye.

"Oh,

you’re back."

Nasun

stared at him.

"Are

you sleeping?"

"No."

"You’re

lying down with your eyes closed."

"I was

thinking."

"I

see..."

That

respond made a smile on Nasun face as he made his way down to the base.

"Oh by

the way." He stopped and turns to face the sleepy youn man.

"How is

your student doing Mark?"

Mark raises

an eyebrown

"Doran? He is so bad at aiming and his personality so

serious it stress me out, but..."

He

stretched comftebly.

"His

mentality and body are strong, he already shows huge potientil output."

"I just

hope he let me rest more."

Nasun

laughed before going down strees.

He walked

toward the corner of the room where a parrot was sitting on a wooden stick.

As soon as the

parrot sees him he start talking while moving his head up and down.

"Nasun Caa,

Food Caa."

"Yes yes I

am comming buddy."

Nasun

approched the parrot with a bowl feild with bird food, he place dit near the

parrot and watches him eat.

"Thanks good,

I see your wings are much better now."

Nasun

gentaly touched the parrot wings which are cover in bandeges, then the parrot

start screaming.
