Building an Entertainment Business Kingdom In Another World
Episode 12 (HOPEFULNESS)
(Leonardo)
My name is Leonardo, I am a healer who enjoys collecting medicinal plants that exist all over the world. I'm currently looking for a medicinal plant called Mother Tears. These plants are a cure for all diseases. I searched everywhere but I could not find it either.
I am currently in the village of Schmiede. My first impression here was rather frightening, filled with people who were big and rough-faced. I think they are not reluctant to ask for a very expensive price. But after a day here I feel Schmiede Village is a very amazing village. They are filled with friendly people who love to help others. I felt ashamed of them for being so bad before.
I heard the news that Mother Tears could be found in Grienze Village which is about two hours from here, but unfortunately I could not go there. I heard the news that the road was blocked by a group of robbers who were looking for someone and they would not stop until they found the person.
This morning I met someone who was wearing a black hood. He claimed to be from the village of Grenze.
“Good morning master Leonardo”
“Einhard? Is it true you are Einhard The Prince Of Piercing Light?”
“Betul Master, I am Einhard The Prince Of Piercing Light”
“I heard that you disappeared a few years ago. What are you doing here?”
I was shocked to meet a hero like he was here after disappearing for so many years.
“The story is long master, sorry I can not say now. I want to beg your help”
“What can I help you with?”
“In the village of Grenze there is a child who is stricken by a deadly disease. I want to beg your help to cure him master”
“Isn't the road to be closed by a group of bandits?”
“Betul master, but the shubuh earlier they have been exterminated by someone unknown”
“Alright let's go now”
Me and Einhard went to the village of Grenze.
On the way there I saw a mountain of corpses. The conditions are so awful. They were all dead but none of them were bleeding.
“Einhard did you kill them sadistically like this?”
“According to the master how, am I among the people who can do such sadistic and troublesome work?”
“Could be, especially if they make you angry until it gets out of hand. The only one who can do something like this is a person who holds the title of hero like you”
“Hahaha, the problem is that the person who has the title of hero is not just me master. And his reason is unknown is not because he does not want to be recognized by others”
“Yes, you are right. Then what are you doing now Einhard”
“I am just a school teacher in Grenze village master.”
I don't know what Einhard is hiding, he doesn't usually speak with such an ambiguous answer. Moreover, he chose to seclude himself to a remote village like Grenze village, whereas he could get anything in the capital. Wealth, power or women he can get easily.
“By the way what is guiding a person as great as a master to a remote village like this?”
“I'm looking for The Mother of Tears flowers. I heard he thrived in the village of Grenze”
“Aaahhhh.. It is true that the flower master thrives in the village of Grenze”.
Then, Einhard scratched his cheek with his index finger, glancing to the right. And they went to the village of Grenze.

“Alika open the door”
“Einhard”
“No need, I just want to tell you that we got good news as well as bad news?”
I was worried about what Einhard told me. I don't know how to deal with it, but I have to prepare for the worst.
“What is Einhard?”
“The good news is that the robber has been exterminated by someone unknown, and the bad news is the healer from Escala city is going to treat someone”
My leg felt weak to hear from Einhard, I fell down but was captured by Einhard. He led me to the living room chair. Why do I have to experience all this? After what happened to my husband, why should it happen to my son now.
“You must be strong Alika”
I could only cry to hear back from Einhard. How can I be strong knowing that my son is dying.
“I know this is very heavy for you, but anyway you have to be strong”
I don't know what to say to Einhard. It's all just a matter of time to see Andra paralyzed or die. How could I possibly be strong to get an ordeal of this magnitude.
“I say goodbye Alika, I'll go to find a healer for Andra”
I could only cry without knowing what to answer. Einhard held my hand to strengthen me, then he stood up from his seat and went somewhere. I could only nod my head because I could say nothing more.
Soon an old man knocked on my door. I don't know who he is, we haven't seen a guest in a long time since my husband died.
“Yes sir, can I help you?”
“Include the name Leonardo, my work is a healer. I heard that here there is a child who is sick and needs help”
A healer, am I not having a dream? I pinched my hand and it still hurt, but it wasn't a dream. Thank goodness you are still overwhelmed by luck.
“Iya right sir. If I may know, who is the generous person to tell you that there is a child here who needs help?”
“I don't know. He was someone who wore a black robe. Unfortunately I could not see his face. If I'd like to see the condition of the child?”
“By your pleasure, I will take you to the child”,
Then I drove the physician to Andra's room.
*****
It had been a week that Andra was treated by the physician. His condition is starting to look better. His face did not look as pale as before. Mr. Georgini said that Andra only needs a complete break at least a week ahead, even though Andra is still not allowed to receive guests.
“Alright madam my task is done. Now he just needs to rest and eat nutritious foods”
“Thank you Sir, how much should I pay?”
“No need mistress. Someone who asked me to come here paid for it. By the way do you know where Mother Tears plants are located, I heard the plant is near the village of Grenze”
“Sadly your master is late. The plant was destroyed a few years ago due to a big commotion near the village forest”
“It's a pity, but thank you for the information madam. I thank you because I have to continue the journey back”
“Iya equally Sir.
Mr. Leonardo left our village.
