Chapter 3.5
Darkness
Arriving in the master's room, Lucien knocks on the door that was half open, but no one answers, so he enters on his own. It was a room filled with books, important papers, swordsmanship medals and trophies, as well as a Royal Guard symbol stamped on the wall just above the master's chair. Strolling through the room, Lucien starts walking next to the shelves, and sees a peculiar book, the name on the cover said:
The Begonia Farce
PROHIBITED BOOK
RETAINED FROM ALL PUBLIC LIBRARIES
Curious, when Lucien decides to touch him, the master appears and asks Lucien to sit down, and not meddle in his things.
— Lucien, I see you're fine, I'm very happy about it, however we have a lot to talk about, and I imagine you have many questions. - says the master, with a sweaty face and a flustered tone. - Tell me what you saw when you touched the tree, please.
— Yes Master. I saw a meeting with the Black Knights, and... It was a negotiation of women and children, did that... really happen?
— Yes... It happened and... Ah, Eh... It still happens...
— But why? Weren't we the ones going to fight the Black Knights and the Lusiians?
The master slowly lowers his head, and now reassured he says.
— I can't tell you now, you know things you shouldn't know, you'll have to leave the Temple, Lucien.
— B-but what? Why?
— Get up, I'll give you a hug and all the support I can.
At that moment, while Lucien sat and the master came towards him to hug him, he was almost killed, with a stab in his back, but Lucien could feel the attitude of the master who did not have the courage to kill his apprentice, who was considered a son. Lucien gets up and backs away slowly against the wall near the door, but the master freaks out, with tears falling from his eyes and his body shaking completely, tries a senseless lunge at the wall on top of Lucien, but ends up stabbing himself in the abdomen. , as Lucien unconsciously used the master's own arm to kill him.
Lucien, in shock and showing no reaction at seeing his master dead in front of him, bloodied and with tears in his eyes, realizes that his life would change from then on.
When trying to run out the door, Temple guards appear at the end of the hallway, they already knew, Lucien didn't have to live, so he manages to escape those two guards and goes to his room avoiding being seen by the other guards in the corridors, but he finds one. guard at his dorm door, however, that guard allows him to enter. As Lucien quickly grabs his sword and backpack, the guard stops him and says:
"Run, go to this place..."
— Lucien listens carefully to the address and prepares to leave, everything was happening very fast, all of a sudden, and in this he thinks of Leaf as he escapes through the corridors to the secret exit at the back, however, Leaf found him.
— It was only a matter of time you became a traitor, I knew. — Leaf says with a loud and strong tone, he expressed a disappointed face - I consider you a brother, at least I did, I did a lot for you, but I didn't imagine it.
— Calm down, Leaf, it's a mistake, it leaves me expl... — Lucien is interrupted by Leaf - don't say anything, I won't stop you, you don't deserve my friendship, or anything really, you filthy worm.
Lucien, who was in a shock of emotions never seen before, runs and as he passes by Leaf, he hears a faint whisper
"Next time my path meets yours, I won't be sorry to dismember you."
So Lucien leaves the Temple, crossing the corridor and exiting the back stairs, where he falls directly into a sewer where it would likely lead him to a certain hidden place in the Temple...
But now, just in the company of his sword, he must get out of there, find the address marked, and deal with his feelings.TO BE CONTINUED
