The Last Whiteblood's

I'm Asking for Help

"Mr Arion?!"

Just as they entered the house, three people came welcoming with a feeling of shock and delight. All three were former servants of the Rabadar Kingdom who were now personal servants of the Hanza family.

They were no longer considered servants, but they continued to work and serve the Hanza family. The three of them live under Hanza's protection, they are not given a salary, but the three of them are given a life with the Hanza family.

All three were one senior male servant, one male new servant and one female servant. The three of them were young, but had already served Arion while living in the palace.

Therefore, they were very surprised to see this sudden arrival of Arion.

They are busy welcoming and serving Arion in an effort to make it as comfortable as possible, but in fact Arion even feels bad for them. On the other hand, Elena and Kenneth are stunned to see Arion being treated like a King.

"Mifori, Erna, Gen, stop, you're making Arion have trouble breathing because of your insistence" Hanza said.

The three of them instantly fell silent for a moment, and immediately apologized repeatedly.

"T-it's okay.I'm happy to be welcomed like this, thank you" Arion bent a little bit of her body, leaving the three stunned for a while.

Obtaining such honor from a former noble was indeed not their dream, but it was still an extraordinary thing.

"If possible, we will make a drink" said Mifori who immediately shot into the kitchen.

"I'll bring you your things" Erna grabbed all of Arion and Kenneth's things, then darted back.

"I will.." while Gen is glued to Elena.

"What?" elena asked, astonished at being glared at like that.

"YAH!! You are! Thief last week!" gene screams while pointing at Elena. "Give me my sling!"

Elena turned her body around while twitching both of her shoulders. "I accidentally threw the shawl, besides you're a man, why buy a shawl?" ask Elena.

"I'll give it to someone later!" Gen grunts annoyed.

"Yes, yes, I'll change it later" Elena replied casually.

Arion laughed softly at that, for some reason he felt amused by the small quarrel. Even he could see Elena did not consider it a fight at all, it seemed like this girl was mentally very strong indeed.

"Arion, can you come with me for a minute?" ask Hanza.

He took Arion to a place not far from home. Arion did not dare to ask because they were still walking.

They stopped in front of a normal-sized tree. At first glance, this tree is just an ordinary tree. It was an ordinary tree and Arion was confused.

"Before you came here, did you go to Rabadar?" ask Hanza.

"Um" Arion nodded. "The plan was I wanted to go home, but hearing Uncle Dominick ascending the throne, I sped my way there to make sure"

"And?"

"And that's real news, I didn't find you guys, but I was lucky to meet Yaena. It's from him that I know your location"

"Yes, yes" Hanza nodded and stroked her beard. "Of the thousands of people there, only he can still be trusted"

Hanza then asked back, "After that?"

"I ran and was chased all the way here"

The sun began to set, the orange sky became darkness and gave off a beautiful scene. The stars began to show themselves in the vast expanse of the sky.

"Dad, where's Daendra?" ask Arion.

"He's out there, maybe he'll be back soon"

"Then, where's Mom? I didn't see him from before"

Hanza sighed slowly. "Let's look at this tree" Hanza flicked her chin towards the tree. Arion looked towards the tree.

"Side is your adoptive mother's final resting place"

Arion opened his mouth slowly, his eyes widening at the bad news. He looked at the tree for a long time, then moved under the tree.

Again, Arion must receive bad news. Though not her real mother, Arion loves Lenia with all her heart. The woman had treated Arion from childhood, albeit only briefly.

"He died of severe pain. Two days before his departure, he said, if you come back, you're welcome as Arion Gareins"

Even in her dying state, Lenia still wants to consider Arion as part of her family.

"Thank you, Mother.." muttered Arion.

Mifori lights up the light in and around the house from the darkness of the night with the Qube. Apparently, at night the atmosphere here is quite cool. The five of them sat in a simple living room.

They are busy chatting. Erna came to bring me a drink. While they were busy chatting, Foma was playing outside with Gen and Mifori.

"So it's true that you fought in Egrit Village, then went to save Rena and fought Retian, when you were 14?! That's crazy!" exclaim Kenneth. Everyone laughed at Kenneth's original expression in shock.

"Don't I ever tell you that?" ask Arion, flat.

"really? I don't remember it" Kenneth became confused and scratched his own head.

"Basins suck" Elena muttered as she shook her head slowly.

"Hey, we can still hear it" Kenneth nudged Elena's arm.

In the middle of their conversation, Gen came in. "Sorry to interrupt, but I see Mr. Daendra has returned"

Hearing that, Arion immediately got up.

A horse-drawn cart driven by a young man moved closer to Hanza's house. In the wagon pulled by his horse carried some goods ready to be marketed and there were two children there as well.

The young man was wearing a long-sleeved shirt which he rolled into the elbow. Her hair was wet with sweat, as well as her clothes. It seems like he worked hard today. On his side was a sword sheath that held a sword inside.

"You've come home, Mr. Daendra. How are the results of today's trade?" asked Mifori, enthusiastic.

"Mifori Boss!" exclaiming Rofa while doing a gesture of respect to Mifori.

"He's the Boss of Kak Daendra!" reply Ed while laughing out loud.

Mifori became misbehaved, he retreated a few inches because he was afraid of Daendra's actions. Once upon a time, Mifori made a mistake and he was punished by Daendra. Mifori pushed-up 50 times while singing Rabadar's national anthem.

Although tormenting, Daendra always cut his sentence when Mifori was in the middle of him doing his punishment. That is so that Daendra wants these three men to always be strong and not soft.

"And I talk like this.. 'Boss, today the trade results are less favorable to us, but we can quite favorable results'. I see, right?" ask Daendra.

"N-no, Mr. Daendra. I'm sorry!" Mifori sat on her knees pleading.

"Stay, I'm just kidding. I won't punish you" Daendra chuckled.

Mifori. "Master, you always play tricks on me, Erna and Gen rarely do you like that" Mifori protested.

"Because you deserve. Is there a guest inside?"

Mifori was about to answer, but Hanza called Daendra.

"Daendra, come here!" call Hanza. Daendra approached.

"Yes, Dad?"

"There's someone who wants to see you"

Daendra tilted his head. Seeing her son curious, Hanza immediately called Arion.

"Arion?" Daendra was surprised to hear Hanza mention that name.

Arion appears from behind Daendra. He stepped in front of Daendra, now they are the same height. Arion did not need to look up to look at Daendra's face.

"Arion's.." Daendra clenched his hand.

Without a direct warning, Daendra hit Arion's cheek as hard as he had right now. It made all who saw it surprised.

Arion fell to the ground from the blow.

"Darling!" Rena immediately approached Daendra to restrain the man from acting any further.

"Daendra, what are you doing?" asked Hanza who was trying to stay calm.

Kenneth and Elena instantly helped Arion to his feet. Arion rubbed the fresh blood flowing at the end of his lips. He was not angry, he understood Daendra's feelings.

"Now you dare to show up, huh" said Daendra, coldly.

"Daendra, I'm sorry" said Arion, but the apology made Daendra's emotions run high.

He threw his fist again. Suddenly, his fist was held by someone, not but three people at once. Hanza, Kenneth and Elena stopped him.

Arion remained silently standing in place, staring flat at Daendra. Meanwhile, Daendra looked at him furiously.

Rofa and Ed stand behind Mifori, they don't want to get involved in adult affairs.

"Stop it, Daendra" said Hanza. He and Elena and Kenneth still hold Daendra's fist.

"Ck!" Daendra. He pulled his hand back from the grasp of the three men. Daendra looked at Arion for a moment before turning around.

"Follow me" after that, Daendra stepped away.

Arion was about to follow, but Kenneth and Elena confronted him. Seeing the look of worry on their faces, Arion developed a faint smile. "Not what" said Arion.

Hearing that, they finally gave Arion a path.

Daendra continued to step up to the lip of the lake. Arion stopped not far behind him.

"Three years" Daendra said. "For three years, where have you been?" Daendra looked back through his shoulder.

Arion did not answer, he lowered his head slightly. A strong wind came crashing down for a moment, it seemed as if it wanted to drive Arion away from there.

"My answer!" daendra.

"I'm..." Arion doesn't know how to answer.

"Hmph! Looks like you're out of words" Daendra turned around, smiling sideways at Arion.

"What's going on? Where is the quiet Arion? Where is Arion who can always solve the problem? Where's she? WHERE?!"

Daendra's chest went up and down because it was too emotional. His breathing was intermittent, in a single rage he was already exhausted, unlike in the past.

"Daendra, I'm not what I used to be. I'm very weak now, I can't do anything" Arion said.

Then, Arion nodded. "You're angry with me, that's proof that I'm useless. Yes, Daendra, I am useless. Who me? I was a disaster in your life, I took away everything in your life.."

"I want you to beat me up! I want you to torture me! I want you to vent your anger on me! Do whatever you want, until you don't need me anymore and dump me. That's enough, I'm not asking for more, the important thing is that you can be relieved" he continued.

Arion spread his arms to the side, gesturing for Daendra to beat him right now. Daendra pulled out a knife from his pocket, seeing that Arion closed his eyes.

Daendra slid the knife towards Arion, but the weapon only passed through Arion's face and landed behind him.

Arion opened his eyes and glanced back. He looked back ahead.

"I never wanted that, all I wanted was for you to come back safely. That's it" said Daendra.

"I'm angry that you disappeared from us. I look for you everywhere, every day. Hoping to find you and beat you up. But, in fact, you came alone"

Arion takes Daendra's knife back and walks to return it to its owner.

"I need your help" Arion said as he thrust the knife at Daendra.

"What help?" ask Daendra.

"Help to remove Dominick from his throne"
