"Ah Eth, not you son!"

"Ah?"

Father stopped me alone, as everyone were sent inside.

We both walked the backyard, as father stopped walking at some point. Well, I followed him as well.

"Finally."

"Father?"

What's going on?

"Ethan, because you managed to defeat me, I have something to say to you!"

My father said with a low tone. With his expression, I think he is going to tell me the truth about me being adopted. Or, is it something else?

As I was wandering what my father had for me, he suddenly opened the grass floor and a secret door opened. But, I can't help but to think why I never discovered this when I walked around these places.

"Come on Eth!" As he walked down the steps, My father called me as I was in a Aw when I saw the underground path.

"Ah..es! Yes father!"

...

I followed him down. There was a single room remaining me of a torture hall from my previous life. And it was also like an training hall too.

Aside from that, from the moment I walked into the room, I can't sense a single amount of mana emanating from father or myself. But, I was able to use magic. What kind of place is this?

Closing the door, father's face looked a little solemn, "Eth! You should know now that you have become stronger. Well, I think you are stronger to accept things about your life!"

Yep, I think that's it.

"Ethan...You...are not born to me and your mother Lyra."

I knew he would tell me this now. Anyway, I just watched him as he was speaking.

"When you were an Baby, your mother passed away. So, we took you in and here we are...." my father said.

"Okay..! But, if my real mother is dead, its in the past right? you and Mother Lyra will be my parents what ever happens wouldn't it??"

I laced him up a bit, but I wasn't expecting the scene I was about to see. When I said that to him, Father was already in tears. It was the first time to see him like this though.

"O..of course son! You will always be our son! Always..our little Eth!" he said with tears.

Now, I feel bad to have made father to cry.

"And...There is also another thing I had to say to you!" He said as he cleared his eyes.

I wonder what would that be...

"Son, me and your mother, Lyra...are a part of an organization. An organization that eliminates the threats to our continent!"

Wait...Don't tell me...

"We are members of the Council of Assassins!"
