Chapter 4 - Ainen

The room feels heavy.

Everybody sits in silent.

I watch Prince. His face looks dull.

He hesitates to speak.

I stand.

He watches me. I smile.

"Prince! I will not harm you. I promise," I continue, "I am not in the intention to harm you."

He stands. He weeps.

Prime watches him. His face also dulls.

"I... I am... Prince Pacto. I am the prince of Pacto kingdom," he continues, "I... am... an Ainen...".

He cries.

"An Ainen!", I whispers.

My heart melts. My hands shiver. Tears drip from my eyes.

I kneel. I weep.

I can't control my emotions.

I watch Prime.

"How? How did you save him from the system?", I ask to Prime.

My tears flow. I wipe.

"Zeo! Don't cry!", Prince says.

I rise my head. I watch his face. I see innocence in his face.His eyes fill with tears.

"Your eyes... It looks same as her...", I continue "I can't save her...". I cry.

Prime stands. He steps towards me.

He touches my shoulder.

"Zeo! Stand up. Don't kneel!", Prime says. I see him. His eyes shows pain.

"I am not worthy to stand. I let her die," I continue, "Synen soldier separated her from me."

"They also tried to kill Prince," Prime continues, "But, I saved him. We escaped."

"I am not like you. I am a coward," I say.

"Zeo! You are powerful!", Prince says.

"Yes! That's not your mistake!", Auron says.

"No! That's my mistake!" I continue, "They killed her in front of me."

"That was cruel.", Prime says.

"Everybody makes mistake," Auron continues, "You will get the chance to correct it!"

I stand.

"Synen rulers are monsters!", Prime continues, "They have no heart."

"Zeo! Here your chance! You can save Prince!", Auron says.

"Yes! I can!", I say.

Prime smiles.

"Prince! I don't know who are you," I continue, "You are not my brother. But, I won't let another Ainen die."

Time skips.....

Auron steps towards me. "You are not ready to fight emperors. You need to learn more.", Auron says.

"I mastered my line art book!", I say.

"What? Show me your book!", he says.

I show it to him.

He laughs.

I am in confusion.

"Why are you laughing?", I ask.

"Because, you just mastered the basic book of line art.", he says.

"What?", I ask.

"Yes! It is just basics," he continues, "A special line art book contains some special techniques in it."

"Special technique!", I say.

"The special techniques is called line art," Prime says.

"You know just the basics!", Auron says. "Show me yours.", I say.
