The First Conqueror's

[VOL 1] Confession and Advice - Part 4

Rain kept on following his mother. His eyes looked at the surroundings with endless admiration. There are many jars made of diamonds. There was also a crown that was of a huge size even if the rain stood in the middle of it it would seem like it was standing in the middle of a circular golden bed.

There were also pearls whose size was clearly abnormal. It was larger than the crystal ball in the palace whose diameter was even 2 meters.

"We've arrived" said Elsa.

Rain who was sidetracked with his mother's wealth now turned his head towards his mother who was standing in front of him. But the focus of his attention was the large gate in front of his mother.

This gate is not made of gold. Except a very shiny black stone. It was shaped like the main gate of a palace that had two doors on each side. It was just that its size was 10 times larger than the palace gate. 

"Who's the woman engraved on that door?" muttered Rain when she saw there was a half body carving in the shape of a very beautiful woman with wings. Each wing has a different shape. The right wing is the wing of a bird, while the left wing is the wing of a bat. 

"He is Erdia of the Sandria Demon race, one of the heroes of the war era in the great war thousands of years ago," Elsa said with a sad smile on her face.

"Demon!?" Rain flinched hearing his mother mention Demon. Moreover, his mother said that the Demon woman was one of the heroes. 

"Wait a minute, Mom, why is she a hero. Isn't the history of the legend of the great war thousands of years ago a Demon?" asked Rain with a curious face.

Elsa nodded. "You're right, but you're not entirely right either" Elsa explained.

"Wait a minute, ma'am, what does that mean. I don't get it. Also what does that mean for Demon Sandria?"

"Rain, at the time of the great war thousands of years ago, who started it was the first Demon king. He wants to rule the entire continent. Even he was willing to kill his own people just to fulfill his greed." Elsa turned and looked at her son.

"The whole world fought together, only to defeat the ambitions of the demon king. Among the warriors there was also a race called Sandria. They were a half Demon race and also half demi-humans. However, due to their pale blue skin color like the Demons, the Sandria race was also considered a Demon race. It was they who fought alongside the other races to defeat the first Demon king" Elsa explained.

Rain was stunned to hear it. This was the first time he had heard of a race called Sandria. This was also the first time he had heard a story different from what the history books described.

"But ma'am, why do you know all this?" ask Rain.

"Because your great-grandfather was one of the heroes" said Elsa.

"His name is not written in history" Elsa said.

"But why. If our ancestors were heroes why didn't they write their names in history. If it's written down wouldn't our kingdom, be greatly respected by other kingdoms?" 

"Because that's the hero" Elsa said with a smile.

Rain looked confused. What does this mother mean? Rain at all, could not understand it. 

"Rain, heroes aren't the ones who write their names to remember. But is a person sincerely dedicated to the cause of truth." Elsa walked and squatted right in front of her son. "The person who writes history is not a hero. Because a hero would never write his own name as a hero."

Rain realized one thing. His grandfather (Bauld) is also considered a hero. But his own grandfather never considered himself a hero.

"Do you understand what Mom means?" ask Elsa.

"Yes" Rain nodded. 'Hero, is not a title that is upheld by oneself. But it is the title that is attached because it is others who uphold it, ' Inner Rain.

"But ma'am, in the history books. There it says that the one who wrote it was his own hero, what do-ja,-"

Elsa placed her index finger on her child's lips. "As mother said, a hero is not the one who writes his heroism" Elsa said with a gentle smile.

Rain's eyes slowly grew. As if realizing something.
