***** Side History 3*****
***** The Lost Journal part 1*****
This story is not about our Riu, is about the Riu, the grandfather, the businessman, the disowned, the soldier, the mixed-blood, the child without a father but with a loving mother, THE TIMBER.
Sao Paulo Brazil, 67 years before the release of Royal Road
“Ana bring me the basket with nuts”
A asian girl with long straight black hair that reached her hips and so small that looked like a child instead of the adult that she was, answered.
“yes, chief”
“And this time don't you dare to take the long path to see the young master or I'll cut your pay”
“why?, we only talk about gardening”
“I haven't told you about the missing girls He was the one who did it”
“That's a lie you're only jealous of his face without scars” said Ana while ran away to search the basket with nuts.
3 months later
“Where is the girl?”
“I sorry, master we were all day searching for her but she is gone”
“This can't be happening; I the future owner of all cotton industries in Brazil can't have an illegitimate child. All of you find that girl and kill her baby like with the others.”
48 hour before
Ana knocked on the door of the young master
“Saul are you there?” said Ana
The door opened revealing a opulent room full of books about herbs, plants and chemicals in there he was a young man tall with black eyes so dark that reflect the night and a face of a fallen angel
“What happened? If my parents find you here we will be in trouble today is not the day that we agreed see each other” said Saul with a low tone.
“I am pregnant” said Ana.
“……”
“What’s what will we do? I don't want to run away like I did in Japan when I was engaged with a man of which I wasn't in love.”
“I am going to talk with my father in order to convince him to allow our love” said Saul while he was going out of the room
*Should I follow him to see his father? This situation is a problem of both Saul and I * Ana thought when leaving the room
Ana was following Saul from afar trying of reach him but her short legs not allow her to close the distance between them and she couldn't try call him without awakening all the residents’ of the house causing a bigger problem.
Saul was heading to the hall but instead of going to the north where was located the room of his father Saul went to the east where it was located the security and service living rooms
Ana started to be afraid of the things that the chief told her about Saul were true but she removed those thoughts from her mind, she love Saul, she knows him better than anyone.
*those rumors must be a lie* she said to herself.
Saul stood in front of a door that Ana recognized as the room on which lived Paulo the security chief who was in charge of the house and farm.
“Paulo, I know that you are awake open the door”
“Young master what is the problem?” said Paulo while he opened the door.
“Cut the crap we are alone and let me pass before your voice wake up all the house” Saul said while he entered in the room.
The door close while Ana was in the corner listening all, in that second in which the door closed the only thing in the mind of Ana was run away but the memories from the past pushed her body and her ear to the door.
“So it happened again, how you want to handle it” said Paulo
“She is the more stupid of all is secure that she want the child and in this moment is dreaming with a life together like a fairy tale.”
“Are you sure that she not want money like some of the previous girls?” said Paulo
“Yes, we need to get rid of her like with the first.”
“I don't want to do that with a face so pretty. Why we don't handle it as those that we converted in sluts?”
“She is friend of the kitchen chef and if he find out, we are doomed.” Saul said.
“Then my men’s have to rid of her while we make it seem like that she returned to her country”
Ana was in shock, her legs were shaking, her body was sweaty and each step that she listened behind the door was creating in her a feeling of endless despair.
When the last step resonated in the room and the sound of a opening door filled the hallway only was seen the endless dark brought by a night without moon.
Ana found herself in front the room of the kitchen chief with her eyes full of tears and her soul swallowed by the fear, fear for his destiny, fear for the future of her baby, fear of her past.
Riu the kitchen chef, his real name was Richard Rothschild but all people in brazil called him Riu due to his loud laugh.
Author note: https://translate.google.co.ve/?hl=es&tab=wT#pt/en/Riu
Riu was a good man that made bad decisions which led him to be the kitchen chef in the family house of a drugs dealer or like the family call themselves owners of cotton industries.
Riu was a man of few words; he listened the whole history from Ana and then said.
“Take this letter to the port, start a new life for you and your baby”
“You’re not coming with us?” Ana said
“I have a debt in this place and if I run away my only dream will be taken away from my”
“Can I ask what your dream is?”
“I want to find a new plant that only grows in this country, that is why I disappear the Sundays when the family goes to church.”
“Maybe in this moment you're only thinking in surviving but in the future I am sure that you will find something to give it all even your life. Now go and don’t look back”
Texas USA, 65 years and 11 months before the release of Royal Road
Sound of crying baby
“Is a healthy boy”
“Thanks for everything Ms and Mr Rothschild without his help I would not be here, you've even paid the hospital for me and my child” Ana said

“Don’t be silly dear you are almost part of our family now after all it us who need say thanks to you for bring us information about our elder son” Ms Rothschild said
“You have already decided a name for him” Mr Rothschild said while pointing with his look to the baby
“Yes his name will be Riu because it can mean laugh and because it sound like dragon (Ryu)”
“And Kitsutsuki will be his last name like mine”
Texas City USA, 56 years and 11 months before the release of Royal Road
A young of 9 years old with bruises all over his face and the word Chinese in his forehead, this young skinny boy was tall for his age with handsome face defined by Asian features like slanted eyes and dark hair.
Riu opened the door of his house while yelling
“Are you in home mom?”
Without anybody who responds at home Riu went to the bathroom to clean himself before being seen by his mother and him end up being changed of schools again.
* Why this happened again? * Riu thought while cleaning his face and tended his wounds.
Until this point in his life Riu was blessed with many talents like have a IQ above 400 turning him in the second person more intelligent on the planet (the first is dreaming with Royal Road) but this fact will never be known because being intelligent only attracted bullies to Riu especially since he lives in a strong religious community with racist tendencies.
At the age of 6 after being beaten until spitting up blood for first time Riu was transferred of schools when his mother could not find another solution.
The second time Riu stood still while being beaten he studied how the impacts of punches and kicks affected his body when the beating ended Riu concealed his wounds from his mother while planning his revenge.
At the age of 7 Riu learned to fight while being beaten, he also learned to treat his wounds and conceal his presence from others.
In his eighth birthday Riu executed his revenge, 2 kids older than Riu were critically injured, 46 kids of the same age as Riu were unconscious and Riu was found in front of the principal's office turning himself as offender with the hands full in blood and a smile in his face.
Because there weren't any witness besides the victims who were known bullies and juvenile offenders, also Riu turned himself and for being underage he was sentenced to 8 months of community service and Riu had to change of schools again.
The last year was more easy for Riu apart from a couple of guys that wanted to test its strength nobody went close to him thanks to his actions in his former school but the peace was interrupted a couple hours ago when he was intercepted by a new group of thugs normally Riu would face them but the last time that he changed school he had promised to his mother that he would never fight outside the martial arts tournaments and that he would learn the proper martial arts from her.
* compared with the martial arts training from mom being bullied by a group of thugs is like being on holidays * Riu thought while he was heading to the kitchen
In the kitchen table Riu found his mom sleeping with a note in front of her
the dinner is in the oven if when you get home I am sleeping please wake me up at 9, today I got the night shift at work - mom
In that moment when seeing his mom sleeping Riu felt a happiness that only he could experiment and for a few seconds he only had a thought
*I will make you happy and proud mom*
Texas USA, 50 years and 2 months before the release of Royal Road
With his Shinai in hand Riu launched himself to the enemy in front of him but just when his foot enters in the enemy reach he had to evade a horizontal attack directed to his legs.
Riu steps back while it circles around his enemy sizing him
Its style of fight was the same but Riu was twentythree centimeters more tall than his enemy but he was using a shinai and his enemy a naginata so the reach of both was almost the same
“Is dinner time” Ms Rothschild yelled from the kitchen two floors above
It was only a second of distraction but Riu found himself in the mat with a blade of wood pointing at his face and a foot pressing his chest.
“I lost, now I have to clean the dishes this is the fourth time this week”
“Come on, it is that bad, I can wash the dishes if you take a bath with me like when you were more young” Ana said
“Mom, I am not a child anymore” Riu said with his red face and a defiant tone
“Oh, so you are not a child then it not matter if I show your baby pictures at that girl in your class, Maria was his name?”
“Mom”
That afternoon was like any Saturday in the last years in Riu life, a hard combat training in the gym in family Rothschild house followed by a diner with the Rothschild family
The Rothschild family was a British family composed by Mr and Ms Rothschild his three sons and two grandchildren. Mr Rothschild was a retired employee from a famous oil company his elder son Richard was living in brazil, his second John son was working in the same company that Mr Rothschild in England, his third son Lucas had his own business and two children youngest than Riu.
While Riu was playing with Lucas children after dinner the grownups were talking in the study far away from the prying ears
“Are you sure that not telling the truth to Riu is a good idea?” Ms Rothschild said
“He is too young for be involved” Ana said
“Ana, I think that he may figure it by himself after all in a couple of months the symptoms will show up.” Mr Rothschild said
“Riu must not find out until the end, if he find out he would try to do something reckless like quit the school to take care of me.”
“Riu is smart I not think that he will be reckless in this situation” Mr Rothschild said
“Richard, Amelia I know my son good enough to be sure of this so please help me, Riu must only find out about my disease when he has to”
A year and half after that night Riu found out that his mother had cancer and 8 months after, his mother died, a saturday.
