At the age of 3, I am being caught up surprised by Lynn…
“Grandpa… am I not father and mother’s son?”
How… did he know?
“You are their son you know…”
Then he look at me, with an eye filled with sadness.
“Am I your Grandson?”
“You are… my 1st Grandson”
Those eyes that look more sadder, the more I answered the more sad he is.
“Thank you Grandpa… Then… Let me change my question…”
“…”
“Am I someone from the Zhield’s Lineage?”
That question… it’s not something 3 years old could think of… what should I say? I am confused… there’s a pain in my heart…
“It’s okay Grandpa…”
“HA… what’s wrong with you Lynn? Did you sick or something?”
“a…. no I’m fine… I just want to solve the puzzle. That’s all…”
“What puzzle?...”
“The puzzle of why did father and mothers friend always asking about is my mother already healed, and my mother answer of ‘it’s not. he is my son.’ And mother’s father eyes…”
That damn weasel!
“… it’s alright Grandpa, I’m not a child anymore…”
You are still a child! Damn it!
“ha… Lynn, you are still a 3 year old brat… cry, when you want to cry. Laugh when you want to laugh, and… just play as you wish to…”
“no, grandpa. Why should I cry… I think I am blessed… that I’m being picked by mother and father…. To be able, to be their child… to be your grandson… I am blessed…”
With that… I hug him, and pat his head. But, even then… I didn’t hear nor see his crying face… instead of that… what I see is his happy face. There’s no longer sadness in it…
“Grandpa… can I ask you for a something?....”
“Just tell me”
“Teach me swordsmanship…”
“The training will be hard you know…”
“I will overcome it.”
Not even once at that time, that I thought he will be able to kill several assassin after only 4 year of training. But, in accordance to that… the price he must to pay, is… he stay in a state of coma for more than 2 weeks by now…
I could only sit beside my child and his wife, seeing the pale face of Lynn… that getting thinner day by day…
Ah… never could I think that just for training 4 year… he’s able to kill Black hood Organization’s assassin just with 2 short swords… how amazing will he become in his adulthood…
No… even if he’s not be able to be something big… for at least he need to be alive more than I could… even if he became a crippled… just by he being alive is enough for me…
Ah… Lynn, my dear Grandson… please… wake up… play with this Grandpa of yours… You should not come with your Grandma and uncles, you should just stay here with me for now…
“.he’s twitching! Rey! He’s twitching!”
“HAHA! My son! He’s awake!”
At last! Dear god! I really thank you for your grace! Thank you!
“Ugh… Grandpa? Father? Mother? Why were you all here?”
