It was after a very long duration that I opened my eyes .
When I opened my eyes, the inside of the carriage was in pitch darkness .
“Uh?”
‘Hold on . This isn’t a carriage . ’
‘Have I already arrived somewhere else and was placed in a room?’
I woke up in a hurry to look around for some kind of clues, but everything was too dark for me to see .
But…
Something was cold .
Along with the damp mood around, I groaned in the darkness .
‘What is this? A kind of bad feeling in me . ’
“Today’s weather is very good, right?”
I suddenly turned my head shocked, at the voice which came from behind . I could see nothing, but right then, I managed to hear something or someone moving around, and something bright like a light hit me . I frowned and closed my eyes at the sudden light .
Dazzling, blinding light .
After a while, once my eyes got accustomed to the light, I managed to see my surroundings .
That was the first time I saw something since I opened my eyes .
A place I had never been to before .
A familiar and straightforward structure that I saw throughout my trip . At that moment, a man approached me and spoke out .
“Hello . ”
‘Hello, he says . ’
‘Who is he, that man?’
I was nervous at the appearance of a man I had never seen before .
Something felt wrong about him and the place .
If I wasn’t wrong, the man seemed to be around thirty-nine years old or so . To be honest, it was an appearance that of a handsome young man full of energy; he appeared to be a middle-aged one with a young face, but for some reason, I hated the expression he had .
Once my eyes got used to the light around me, I couldn’t take my eyes off the man’s hair anymore . The man’s hair was long enough, reaching his ears; it was dark crimson .
If that were the only thing, I wouldn’t have been so concerned, but for some reason, the silvery-white look in his eyes engulfed me .
I was at a loss for words .
The man laughed as if he was making fun of me .
“I am your eldest father . ”
It was all for love .
When a searing pain spread across my body, a damp voice whispered in the ear .
‘Assisi, everyone is doing this to save you . ’
Salvation . Loved and robbed when he couldn’t even experience them, Assisi believed and followed everything his father would say, the only salvation in his life .
An unsaved child .
Never loved, even living seemed like a sin—a devil who would lead all his loved ones to their doom .
He was always under the impression that he had to be hurt for his sins, all because he was born with a bruised body .
‘Since my dad loves me, he is doing it all for my sake . ’
A proof that he was loved .
His mother wouldn’t return to the mansion . Mother, Lady Sicelia, a famous name, but Assisi never knew why she wouldn’t visit him . When he needed a mother’s affection, he would have a nanny beside him, and he lived in isolation in that lavish mansion where her father cut off all contacts from the outside world .
Everything would have been fine if his mother returned . Everything would be sorted out .
He would only get to see his mother once a month, but Assisi still felt good . It was very rarely that he ever got to meet his mother .
“Assisi . ”
Assisi, just as a little child, yearned for his mother’s affection . However, when he occasionally held his mother, he hated her soft and sweet scent .
Still, he used to let his mother hold him because his mom’s hugs were warm .
“You look very similar to me . ”
He liked the subtle smile on her face .
His father was an ever-frowning man with no emotions .
“It would have been nice if you were a daughter . ”
His mother always seemed sad that her child was a son .
“But you are my only child, so it doesn’t matter as long as you grow up well . ”
A sweet and calming voice ran in his ears .
“The Zavaikal house is all yours . ”
