Ghost School

Special Episode 19: Kei's Past (Being an Evil Spirit)

"I'll find you eventually"

There appeared a man with maroon hair and blue eyes like Kei's.

"Do you know me?" Kei asked confusedly.

"Of course I know you, my son" said the man.

"Child?!" Kei thought surprised

"18 years ago, I sent knights to take you, but I heard the news they were all dead along with the mercenaries who kidnapped you as a baby"

"I thought you died with them too, I can't believe my son is this big"

"Lately I heard that the Count's adopted son has maroon hair and is 18 years old. When I saw you, I became sure you were my son"

"Maroon red hair is very rare in this kingdom, and I have it. Besides, he does look like me. Is... He's really my biological father?" Think Kei

Kei looked towards the man's robe. There is a family symbol with the shape of 2 snakes surrounding a sword.

"The family symbol! The family of Marquis Arca who became the sword of the royal family!" Think Kei

"Stop everything that disturbs family peace. That's the last message I'm telling them"

"I thought the knights had done their duty well to the point of sacrificing their lives. They are rubbish too. Newborn babies just can't they clean up" the man murmured

"What?!" Kei thought surprised

Trang!!

The man attacks Kei and Kei quickly fends him off.

"Hoo~ You are my son. Not only physical, but my ability also decreased to you. Well, even if your mother's a cheap woman"

"By the way, you're the Keiden Forth that's been talking lately, right? Ahaha! Even the playing habits of women also decrease on you. I regretted not following the social news of the nobility all along. If I had known that there was a red-haired Young Master that Count Forth had adopted, I would have taken you out of there a long time ago"

"Please don't talk weird! I don't know who you are, but you're talking unimportant stuff like this! And I will emphasize, my name is Kei, not Keiden Forth!!" Kei said firmly

"Pff! That tone of voice was firm and haughty... Even when you know I'm a high nobleman, you can still behave like this, it's similar to me"

"I'm getting more and more into killing you"

The man took the clock in his pocket.

"It turns out it's clock. I must go to a meeting with the King. Then I'll go first, Keiden Arca"

After the man left, Kei felt a great threat was coming at him in the near future.

"The danger! If a family as big as Marquis Arca and Count Forth were to come after me, I wouldn't be able to survive. I must leave this kingdom!" Think Kei

Although Kei's sword skills were excellent, he was still not an official knight and did not have any identification marking his knight's identity. So, Kei went on the run with the identity of the student from the prestigious academy who was on an exit duty.

"Where should I go? If only to the next kingdom, it would be easy to catch up" Kei thought

Then Kei thought of it somewhere.

"Truely so, the eastern continent!! While in the academy I learned the language in Kintsuki kingdom because it was the most famous kingdom in the eastern continent" Kei thought

"I have to go to Kintsuki Kingdom!"

Kei thought he had survived once he arrived in the eastern continent. But it turned out wrong.

"Capture her! He was a criminal who forged an identity and got into here!!"

As soon as he got off the ship, Kei was immediately chased by the royal security officers.

"Sial, I'm off guard!! It turned out that from the beginning the Marquis had seen my footsteps!" Think Kei

Kei also fought with hundreds of security officers who tried to arrest him.

"Can't! I was just about to live happily, I can't die here!" Think Kei

Eventually, Kei managed to fight all of these officers alone.

Surely Kei's own condition is also now severely injured.

"I... That works..." Think Kei

And...

Jem!!

"Aghhhh!!!"

Marquis Arca emerged from behind Kei and stabbed him with a sword.

"Enough to play here, Keiden Arca"

"Ke... Why would... You..." Kei Mumbles

"You ask why I killed you? That's because you look so much like me"

"When I was in my 20s, I killed my father so I could become a Marquis. I thought you in the future could kill me too like I killed my father"

"So before that happens, I'll kill you first. The Arca family lives like this. Blood ties are a threat. Children are a threat to parents, and parents are a threat to children"

"Then, why did you impregnate my mother and make me born into this world if in the end you killed me?!" Shouted Kei

"You talk a lot because you know you're going to die soon, yes~ well, I'll answer your question"

"That's a mistake. From the beginning I had no intention of having children, let alone with those dirty ordinary people. From the beginning of your birth was a mistake. I told the woman to abort the baby in her stomach, but she wouldn't. There's no choice but I'm the one who intervened"

"You understand, right? Your presence is not expected. You are an unwanted failed product, which at birth you immediately claimed the life of the woman who conceived you. No one wants you"

The man pulled back the sword that was still stuck in Kei's body and thrust it back. Kei finally fell.

"Oke~ now this criminal is dead. Do I have to ask for a bonus to the king when I return later, ya~"

The Marquis of Arca immediately left behind Kei who fell covered in blood.

"Why? Why am I living a life like this? Why?"

"I didn't really expect to be a noble. I just want to live quietly. Why is it so hard?"

"Which part is wrong? All this time I tried my best. I studied hard so I could survive. But it turned out to be futile"

"Over the years, I have not troublemaked and acted well. Why..."

"It started with the Marquis trying to kill me as a baby, followed by the Count and Countess adopting me"

Kei clasped his hand tightly until the bloodied ground under his hand was squeezed.

"Marquis Arca and Count Forth's family! It's all because of you!!" Think Kei

"I was ignored, tortured, abused, and slandered until the kingdom hated me. Forth, I will never forget it!! Arca, I will never forget you who dumped me and killed me now!!"

The veins on Kei's neck and hands sprung up because he was angry and endured his pain.

"I have to pay it back!! Eyes paid for eyes, lives paid for lives. No, I will make them more tormented than I am now!!"

"I can't die yet! My grudge against them has not been done!!"

"I won't let them live well after what they did to me!!"

"I'll make them... Become the most tormented person in the world!!"

2 Weeks later, at Count Forth's house...

"What?! Keiden dead?" Freya Shouted

"Not mind that depraved man. It wasn't long ago that night, so you better calm yourself, Freya" the Countess said worriedly.

"No... Why did he die? Mommy and Dad should have protected her! Why was he expelled? He is my personal knight!!" Freya Shouted.

"What's wrong, Freya? He has committed a great sin. And again, you were the one who asked to expel him, right?"

"No!! Why are you doing that?! Why are you doing so?! I hate mom and dad!!" Shouted Freya and ran away

"Dearly!!"

"You want to hide from me, Keiden? I won't let it! I'll find you!!"

Freya has since become obsessed with men who have red hair. Once he saw the red-haired man, he would do anything to approach him.

Every time Freya gets into a relationship with a red-haired man, all the men find out that Freya is blinded by her love. They also use Freya to drain Count Forth's wealth.

Until the age of Freya 18 years and also he entered adulthood, the family Count Forth so poor made. No man wants to marry Freya because her family can not give benefits, as well as the nature of Freya bad.

Because of this, the weak Countess fell ill and died a few months later.

Although the Countess is dead, Freya is still unconscious. He continued to troublemak everywhere and gave all the consequences to his father.

The Count's family was in deep debt. Having nothing left, the Count finally made money by doing kajatan. But it was immediately discovered and the Count was imprisoned for life.

Now Freya who is not accompanied by anyone lives alone in the streets of the slums.

"Keiden... Keidens... Where are you?..."

"You... You still want to play hide-and-seek with me? You want to be Count Forth, right? Hurry here..."

Kei appears before Freya.

"Let's... Keidens... I thought you were coming back to me!..."

Freya immediately ran up to Kei and hugged him. But Freya pierced through Kei's body and fell down.

"A... What's a... Why..." Freya muttered

"Gum!!"

Hearing Kei holding back a laugh, Freya immediately turned to Kei and scolded him.

"What's so funny?! How dare you to me, the successor of the Count Forth family!"

"Count Forth? There's nothing like that in this kingdom"

Kei walked and crouched down in front of Freya who was still sitting on the ground.

"For these 4 years, you've been looking for me? How does it feel to be taken advantage of by the men you approached during that time?"

Freya jerks.

"Keid--"

"My name is not Keiden!" Kei said firmly and stared intently at Freya with his red eyes.

Instantly Freya felt goosebumps made Kei.

Kei smirked at Freya's terrified expression. Kei stood up again and turned his back to Freya.

"Freya, do you know what punishment hurts the most for humans?"

Kei turned a sharp glance at Freya behind him.

"Everything she had lost left her. A feeling of loneliness because it is not considered, an unbearable pain, also a desire to die but not want to die. It hurts more than dying itself"

"Now, you've felt some of what I mentioned, right?"

Freya flinched hearing that.

"You!! So this is all you?!" Shouted Freya furiously

"If I say yes, why? You can't do anything to me"

Kei turned around and spread his hands wide and laughed loosely.

"Tell me! What can you do to me now? There ain't! You can't do anything! From the beginning you were able to do nothing and just lean on the shoulders of your rotten parents!!" Shouted Kei

"Now, I can do whatever I want! I can set a destiny in front of you! Your misfortune is just about to begin!!"

Kei threw out his hand and appeared a sizable cloth bag. Afterwards Kei immediately threw the bag at Freya.

Freya took the bag and opened it.

"It... Gems and some other jewels..."

Taps.. Taps... Taps... Taps...

Then suddenly appeared the sound of the footprints of a group of people approaching.

"They came~"

"That's the guy!!"

Freya was immediately surrounded by those people.

"A... What's this?!" Freya Shouted

"Freya Forth, you're under arrest for stealing the property and heirlooms of the former queen"

"What?! I'm not stealing!!"

"So what's in your hands now?"

Freya jerks.

"He!! This guy took it and gave it to me! You guys should have brought it, not me!!" Shouted Freya and pointed at Kei. But they didn't make a fool of Freya's words and immediately took her away.

"What's he talking about? Obviously he's alone here, and again all the eyewitnesses say saw him sneak in after giving sleeping pills to the bodyguards"

"He must have gone mad after a lot of troublemaking"

"At least it's just a trick to look crazy and hope for a lighter sentence"

"Pff! Want a lunatic or a sane person, he will get severe punishment if it bothers the royal family. Moreover, this is the queen's heirloom"

"I'm not lying at all!! You guys didn't see that guy?!" Shouted Freya and continued to point at Kei. But none of them cared about Freya.

*

In the morning, the punishment for Freya was decided.

"Punishment for the criminal is a beacon. But because of the generosity of the queen who had a close relationship with the late Countess, the beheading was pushed back within an uncertain time limit. During that time, the criminal will be locked up in a prison of exile"

After that, Freya was immediately transferred to a prison of exile. As the name implies, the prison is in the far corner and only contains not up to 10 people. Plus, the prison is quite large and unmanageable, so it adds to the impression of the silence of the prison.

Throughout the day Freya was terrified because she did not know when the penalty was carried out. During that time Kei continued to haunt Freya.

"Hows it? Do you feel despair now?"

Kei grinned at Freya's disheveled appearance which was usually neat and clean. Slowly Kei approached Freya who was sitting on a board seat on one side of the prison. Kei approached and whispered to Freya.

"What if tomorrow turns out to be the last time you breathe air? Or maybe 1 hour? 1 minute? Or maybe now?"

"You know you're gonna die, but you don't know when. Does this hurt?".

"Keiden...." Freya snarling.

"It's all your fault! Your fault!! I did nothing wrong!! Why am I the one who suffers all the consequences?!" Shouted Freya and kept trying to hit Kei.

Kei is also annoyed by Freya's behavior.

Kei immediately strangled Freya's neck firmly.

"Pampered and perverted child to his own family members, cunning, always making trouble everywhere to make his own family destroyed. That's called not doing anything wrong?".

Freya felt claustrophobic and tried to break away, but every time she tried to touch Kei, she always penetrated Kei's body. What was seen in the eyes of a normal person was now Freya was scratching her own neck in a hurry.

"Khhkk... Le... Untie..."

Kei let go of his giggling violently until Freya was pushed against the wall.

"Uhukis... Uhuk... Uhuk..."

"I'll tell you, it's not over yet. You still need to feel the pain for longer"

While Freya was still coughing, Kei left the prison.

"Next Marquis of Arca"
