Chapter 25: Oath

Sorry it's late, something came up yesterday... This is yesterday's chapter...

...

Regina knocked on Bloed's door.

"Master"

""

"Master, the food is ready"

""

Regina put on an expression of worry. It had been one week since Camilla's death, and Bloed had not left his room since then.

Including the days Camilla was unconscious, Bloed had not eaten anything in almost two weeks.

"Master, please open the door"

""

"Master"

Suddenly, a sound came from inside the room.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and a handsome young man appeared.

But contrary to his handsome features, his appearance was a mess. His hair was messy, and his eyes were red. He had become much thinner, and his eyes had lost its usual glow.

"Master" Regina's heart constricted in pain.

Bloed forced a smile. "Sorry, Regina. I made you worry. Don't worry, I'm alright."

"Mm I know."

Bloed smiled. "Please prepare me a bath. I will take a bath before eating."

"Understood." Regina nodded hurriedly and went to work.

Once he was alone, Bloed looked up and sighed.

A week had passed, and it was time to move forward.

Even although it was still painful, Bloed remembered the words of his mother. She had great expectations of him, of the things he could do. And he was not planning to disappoint her.

After taking a bath and changing his clothes for clean ones, Bloed went to the dining room and waited for breakfast.

When he observed the dining room, his heart felt heavy. Not long ago, this dining room was the place where Camilla and he chatted about their day to day with Tito hovering silently and hearing their conversations.

But now, they were gone.

Those were Bloed's happiest days, but now, they were no more.

"Master, here is breakfast." Regina brought two portions of food to the table. Normally, the smell of food would be enough to cheer Bloed up, but now, he had to force himself to eat.

Even although Regina had cooked the food personally, and it honestly was delicious, Bloed was unable to eat more than a few mouthfuls.

"Master" Regina looked at him in concern. "Was the food not to your liking?"

"Nothing like that." Bloed shook his head hurriedly. "Sorry, your food was incredible, but I'm simply not hungry."

Regina fell silent and lowered her gaze.

" I'll do better next time."

Bloed could only smile bitterly.

When they finished eating, Regina washed the dishes personally.

Regina never left any work related to Bloed to the robots. She considered it as neglecting her duties. For her, everything related to Bloed should be done for her personally.

In fact, since the day Camilla died, none of the robots had been activated even once.

Maybe due to that, the spaceship felt even more empty.

When she finished, she sat across Bloed and raised a question.

"Master, what are your plans now?"

Bloed fell silent. He thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

"I'm planning to leave the exiled lands."

"Oh? Where are we going?"

Bloed smiled bitterly. "I don't know."

"Huh?"

"But I'm thinking about it."

Regina looked at Bloed and nodded. "I understand. When are we leaving?"

Bloed touched his chin and thought.

" I need a bit of time. One year or so to prepare some things. Also, I want to become a C-Grade ESPer before leaving. It will make things easier in the outside world."

He then took a deep breath and put on a serious expression.

"Regina, I'm the heir to mother's legacy, to her civilization's legacy So, I have decided. I want to see her legacy to flourish!"

Regina was startled.

"Master, are you going to introduce technology to this world?"

Bloed nodded. "I know it's difficult, and we will face many troubles. But, I'll definitively do it. Then, I'll go around the world and learn about everything this world has to offer. Finally, I'll leave this world and find about the fate of mother's civilization."

" Master."

"In fact, it will be much harder than it sounds. We need to be powerful enough and have the support of a ruler that understands the wonders of technology Perhaps, the rest of the world will pursue us due to my goals, but I want to do it!"

Regina looked at Bloed and her expression turned firm.

"I understand, master."

Bloed smiled.

"So, Regina, I wanted to ask you a question."

"Master?"

Bloed stood from his chair, looked at Regina and bowed. "Will you follow me from now onwards? To help me to pursue my dreams and make mother proud?"

Regina was surprised. She looked at Bloed with an indescribable expression.

Then, she also stood up.

Walking towards Bloed, she raised her face and smiled at him.

One second later, she kneeled in a knee.

"I, Reginleif Norman, swear that I'm master's. All my life belongs to master, and in life and death, I'll follow master. When master have to fight, I'll be your sword. If master is in danger, I'll be your shield. When master needs help, I'll be your wings, and when the world condemns you, I'll be your partner. Life and death, nothing will separate me from master!"

Bloed looked at Regina in surprise. For an instant, an indescribably feeling surged inside him.

Finally, Bloed smiled.

"Yeah, nothing will separate us."

A new chapter was about to start.
