Chapter 17: Chapter 17 - Is Another's Damnation

The person that betrayed me.

The only person I truly trusted.

It was my Mother.

Shocked. Unconvinced.

My mouth opened wide enough for god knows how long.

My eyes still in their mortified state looking at her face.

Her face filled with guilt but her eyes not asking for any redemption.

All of us completely stuck like a statue for two minutes and finally when Leopold couldn't take this stillness anymore.

His eyes looking at me in contempt he said "So tell me, Bastard... Do you still dare to lie in front of your Mother"

My eyes loosing their light as the reality sunked in. I was thinking about her.

"Yes It's mine"

"You mean my families"

All the times she played with me.

"Yes it is"

"And you stole them?"

All the times she sang to me.

"I did"

"So you admit to being a thief who steals from his family"

All the times she played with my hair.

"I am"

"Didn't I tell you father and sister that this snake couldn't be trusted, he can't truly be our family"

All the times she said she hugged me.

"He is a low born rat and he deserves to be there"

All the time she said she loved me.

"Your completely right, Brother no Leopold"

All those moments.

"I also will go" A butler said.

"Yeah me too" Another one also said.

"Yeah"

"Wherever the young master goes we go too"

"All of these people are just pretentious-rich bastards no-not you young master' Most of them started to say.

Hearing them brought a flicker of happiness in my heart.

'No I wasn't alone, I had them to worry about me, but I can't let them come with me.

"I'm not your young master anymore and you can't come with me"

"Why not!" A maid said to me.

"You still have your family think about them, what will happen to them if you leave here"

They couldn't rebuke the words coming from me.

"But I am still coming, what will happen to you if you leave so suddenly, you can stay will me, Young Master" Emily said.

Hearing her I gave a reminiscent smile at her.

"I can't do that Emily, what will you do with Hannah if you leave, how will you take care of her"

Emily stuck between words "Bu-But what will you do, where will you go?"

"Me? I'll be alright and I'm sure there is a place in this world where I can live happily"

"You-YOUNG MASTER, ahh ahhh" Emily suddenly cried out loud and hugged me.

Feeling her sudden hug shocked me but I laugh and hug her back. All of the other's also came and hugged me as I hugged them back.

After a while we all said our goodbyes and I start to leave.

As I walk out of the Halbert House's big marble Main gate I hear shouts from behind me.

"Young Master, we all will miss you"

"Young Master, if you ever are hungry you can come to me"

"Young Master, If you ever get in any kind of trouble you can come to me"

Hearing them brought tears to my eyes.

The sky that was dark with heavy clouds start to rain heavily upon the Tudor Continent.

looking at the ashen black sky as it rains upon my crying face I say to myself 'I swear to whoever God is out there that this is the last time I will let myself cry.'
