I was lying on my luxurious queen bed in my luxurious master bedroom in my luxurious mansion....... To be honest i was feeling kind of restless. (Out of these luxuries?!)
After the dinner i came back to my room to have a rest but i just can't fall asleep. As for what happened to that boy named luca-
*That evening at 8:30*
"So luca, you had a gang helping you and a anonymous someone from dark wed providing you information about me? "
His eyes got tensed upon hearing me directly questioning him.
"Yyyeah, but they are just my friends. They only did what i asked them to do" (desperately trying to defend his friends)
"So the plan of taking revenge was all yours?"
"Yeah"
"Luca how much do you exactly know about us?"
"About that, i already told to him" (pointing at inglis)
"That's certainly true master. As per he told me is that for some internal issue we started a fight with some cult and when they wouldn’t give in, we bought destruction to the site that includes couple of other buildings to stop the members of the cult without a worry of the people around us"
"And do you really believe this is all there is" (looking at the boy from side eye)
He gulped and closed his eyes squishing his eyelids then suddenly opened them and started talking in more firm and strong voice
"I don't care if this is all or if there is more to it. Because it doesn’t change my fate or the fact that my family died. A lot of other people died. And now im an orphan i have no home now. My 5 years old sister died. My parents died" (while saying these words tears were flowing down his cheeks. And with a thud he sat on the floor on his knees)
"I've lost everything that won't come back ever again. My life is ruined. I dropped out of collage. My career that my family was so hopefull of died. No one cares what do i eat, where do i sleep. All of a sudden my world crumbled and the next moment i'm all alone. What am i supposed to do? What are those other survivors supposed to do?" (he put his hands on his face to cover it and started to cry like a child. A helpless child)
My head went blank. My. legs started to move all by itself. The next moment i regain my conscious, i was hugging the boy crying on the floor covering his face with hands. No. The child. And i felt obligated to comfort this child that i put into this hardship, knowing or unknowing.
For now i wanted to make sure he eats and sleeps in a secure place. So then he had dinner with us and i told atori to show him a room and that we would talk about everything elese tomorrow after breakfast. With that i had back to my room.
At first i thought i'd have a good night sleep for now and think about everything tomorrow but i juat can't let go all the tensions going around in my head.
It's not just luca but all the others who lost home and family. And of course this is not the first time when someone lost something because of the power struggle of others like us. I couldn’t help but sort out everything in my head before morning. And thanks to that i could only sleep after midnight that night.
*The next morning*
We all were In the dining table. And i was sipping on my tea.
"So... I believe everyone had a goodnight sleep" (couldn’t asked the one individual new comer directly)
""" ahhh.. Yes. master""" (now everything became awkward)
"And about luca, i believe inglis already gave you your punishment with mental torture while extracting information from you" (all eyes settled on her with 'did you really had to mention it' question)
"As for our or my punishment, i have decided about doing some few things" (now the questioning eyes are all curious)
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
"Luca, you said you don't have a family nor a home. So, how would you like to live here with us?" ( now the curious eyes are all..... Wait what?! oi oi are you serious!!)
"Master are you sure!?" (right after inglis barely finished his sentence, someone objected)
"No thanks. I don't plan to stay here anyway" (he tried to say it as gently and respectfully as possible though)
"Now listen luca. I wanted to say a lot sort a thing last night. But i refrain from doing so because you weren’t in a state to listen to me. But there are things that you have to know before you decide. Because you are no mere spoiled teenager who came this far with the help with some anonymous information and your friends group" (well that's true)
"I'll take your responsibility and of course all the others who suffered loss" (now luca couldn’t help but show interest to what she was talking)
"But before, i'll tell you that even though im willing to take the responsibilities, im not guilty for what i did" (the room fell silent. It became hard to read anyones mood)
"Because if i didn’t do what i did, the amount of victims and losses would have acceded our count and your expectation. That cult is a mere scale of the whole dragon. And everyday an anonymous huge number of people is getting killed,sacrificed, expoiled, by this kind of cults. The whole head of this world pyramid that includes all the powerful leaders, businessmens, stars are all the pillars of this occult club. Every third succesfull person in your social media can be a member of them. In this dark world where the more lives you sacrifice the more chaose and misery you can bring the more powerfull you are, you will never find the mastermind unless you are ready to give up everything in order to find them"
Inglis gave me a nod and we decided to tell him a bit more.
"Bit by bit they are selling this world to something that shouldn’t have to do anything with this world in the first place. You think disasters that happens are all natural!?. Everyday how many people sign different contract for success while selling their souls and giving power to that devil to only bring doom to this world. Manipulating people to doubt the facts that are universal truth, leading them to become dumb then dumber so they won't doubt or quetion anything. And once they do, they are gone" (oooh suddenly it's so called. And for the readers kind information, this isn’t even a percentage of the real thing)
Hearing my explanation, luca fell silent. And nagisa's jaw was dropping on his plate. Everyone in the room was frozen
"They decide your life. Luca, you said no knows what you eat or where do you sleep?. They knows. Cause they decides who gets to eat what, who gets to sleep where, who gets to live where. The moment a child is born in this world, they take the string of the childs life in their hand by registering the baby in their database. We all are but chess pieces in the matrix made by them. And this matrix is much more complicated than i can explain and your brain can process. So for now this brief intro should be enough"
"But jane sama, then how do we break this matrix!?" (sounds like atori is curious)
"Well there is no specific or one way to break it. But you can be true to your desire and follow it, never let anyone tell anything is impossible . Break the rules if its worth it. Don't just follow their guidence and do what you want to do and just like that you can write a book on it. But im not a writer you see. So the best thing you can do is to find the way out by yourself"
"But jane sama how would i know im going the right direction" (point)
"The first time when you start to doubt, is when you already begun to go to the right direction" (now now end this deep shit already)
Everyone was silent lost in their own thoughts. Then i broke the silence with a question to luca
"So, what do you decide?!"
At first he looked at me dumbfounded, then right after he asked me
"What do you mean?!" (he is becoming more and more polite)
"Well i mean if you want to live here we are good and you can continue to go to collage if you want to persue your career. It isn’t all bed is it? "
"But didn’t you just say it's a matrix" (shoot!! There we go)
"Aaaa. It is but you can always make use of your misuser, if you have it in you. And i believe you have it" (no lies)
"But. Im. Not sure" (confused about living with those for whom his parents died and then he tried to kill)
"And one last thing i think you should know is that, the one who created the destruction wasn’t us but a cult member who got away from us using that destruction "
Lucas expression changed upon hearing that. I could see he was processing a lot maybe that all this time he chasing the wrong person, and on which the true enemy was actually belping him with information.
"You must be laughing at me. Im so naive. Aren’t i ?" (helplessness was all over his face)
And i could read it.
"You are not helpless. If you still want to avenge your family, i'll help you. Cause eventually our goals are now same getting rid of the dark magic users. The cult who is the root of all evil and worships the satan.
'THE ILLUMINATI' " (wait i've heard it before. It's a classic)
And thus luca decided to stay here until he can avenge his parents and all the other victims that he could count because the uncountable were more in numbers.
