The king tried to check his heartbeat but a wave of a dark aura has appeared around the boy's body, which made the king say to himself ‘' what is this cursed magic power!? ''
…
The king has taken him with an incredible speed, till they arrived to the Royal city, exactly to his friend's house, doctor Steve.
A day after that, the boy has opened his eyes after he was taken care of by doctor Steve.
'' W-Where am I? ''
Dr Steve: Hey kid, you have opened your eyes, good, That´s my house and you're in the royal city.
'' What royal city, are kidding me… What The …AAaahhhh my head is hurting. ''
Dr Steve: Take this potion of medicine it'll help, but if you want your questions to be answered you should wait…
in that moment the king has come, wearing unofficial clothes in order to not be recognized by the people of the city.
The king: Hey, how are you!?
'' good, I think… ''
suddenly, the boy felt like his head was going to blow up because of the pain...
'' Aaaaagh…What is that…Mom, my brother… Noooo… everyone of the village… ''
(Crying)...
'' Now I remember, They were killed…They were killed...the whole village was destroyed by that person… it´s not a dream…And why I am alive…why me…why should I suffer like this (Looking at the king's face) tell me why that happened, weren't we good people with a simple life, what have we done to deserve this… ''
The king (trying to calm): It´s okay, it´s okay…you´re safe now, but before I tell you everything you must first tell me your name, your age?
'' my name is…Leo, and I´m 14 years old. ''
The king: Good, now I can tell who I am…I am the king of the green continent Kain, and I´m sorry to meet you in such circumstances…
Leo (surprised): T-The king…
The king (keeps on): and about your village…I can't tell you how sorry I am…All those people died because I did not make it on time, I was late but I could have at least saved you.
Leo (holding the king's clothes): What…What kind of kings are you…Haaaah…do you tell me that the mighty king of the green continent could not save his people…what the hell is that…should I take this as an excuse or what do you expect me to do…
The king (taking off Leo's hands gently): I did expect this reaction, but yeah it is my fault that I did nothing to save your village, but we should now look at what we have and forget the past.
Leo: Forget about the past? Haah, do you want me to forget my village, my family, my friends just like that, just like nothing happened.
The king: Leo, this is not what I meant, but I think that I must tell you the truth in order to understand me, 10 year ago, the emperor wanted to fulfill his ambition, so he tried to invade our continent with a huge army of magicians, so the invasion war has started and the green continent was the losing side, and before we were defeated, the red continent has arrived to end the war, but the emperor did not agree to stop the bloody war, but finally with the support of the red continent, we agreed on giving the black continent every 5 years one hundred golden coin for adults and one hundred silver coin for kids…so with the help of the red continent we ended the war which took with it my warriors magicians, one of my elite guards and my left hand, then this year two events came in parallel which are paying the black continent and announcing officially a new village in the green continent which its building has consumed all the money of its people who were hoping that they will be free from paying because of the village, but that bastard has no mercy for anyone.
The king (keeps on while he puts his hand on Leo's shoulder): and here we are, I won´t lie if I tell you that I´m sick of seeing what happens to my people, I´m sick of being controlled by that insane man…So (Leo) you must recover and get your strength back (Standing) because I can see in you a great power that will help to change this situation.
