Three Lives

Zanir Search

The smell of blood took hold of the air, the ground was filled with scattered orc carcasses and the grass was littered with blood. A boy walked away with a hand covered in blood.

The boy was tired and his eyes were sleepy. His body was filled with the smell of blood, his clothes had patches of blood. When he arrived at the mansion, the boy immediately cleaned himself up and made a report to the host the next morning.

...----------------...

2 Years later.

In the room, there was only Chelsea and Zanir. Chelsea sleep on Zanir's lap.

Zanir rubbed Chelsea's hair gently to make it feel comfortable. Although in fact both are only servants and masters, Chelsea want to be like this forever.

Being with Zanir is the most exciting moment for Chelsea. Suddenly the door of the room opened, but the two of them were unaware of it. Ellie, the older sister of Chelsea was surprised to see their togetherness.

"Oh... See it? Who's being spoiled on his own servant."

"Sister?!" Chelsea woke up quickly shocked by the sudden arrival of her brother. His face reddened and immediately glared at Zanir. The conscious Zanir could read Chelsea's face saying "Why didn't you tell me?"

Zanir smiled and shrugged as if answering Chelsea's question with "Sorry, it's funny to see you surprised." Chelsea were really played by Zanir but it is because of his nature that Chelsea like Zanir. During the tea ceremony a few days ago with another noble daughter he could see that their servant was only acting as ordered while Zanir sometimes always judged him which was impossible for other servants to do.

"Why is my brother here?" Chelsea asked while thinking what made her brother come. Usually in times of something important he would meet her like this, so this time perhaps the important thing was going on.

"I came because my father told me to call Zanir."

"I? Okay, I'll be right there."

Ellie exited the room and closed the door again. Zanir stood up but Chelsea held Zanir by pulling his sleeve. His face lowered so that Zanir could not see his face but he could tell that he was wearing a sad expression.

Zanir smiled gently, he turned around and immediately pulled Chelsea's arm until his head hit Zanir's warm chest. One of Zanir's hands was coiled around Chelsea's waist and the other hand rubbed his head.

Chelsea are comfortable and do not want this moment to end just like that, even though Zanir is his servant but he knows that he has feelings. In fact he knew the true identity of Zanir that neither his father nor Zanir himself had ever said.

A son of the king's concubine. Last year he heard that the king had handed over his throne to his son for a reason, but he knew it must be related to Zanir.

He wondered why a noble seemed to want to become a servant of a noble whose caste was inferior to him.

But Chelsea believe he has a reason to do that. Zanir spoke in a soft and soothing voice.

"I'm not going anywhere. I just have to face your dad, when I'm done I'll be right back, okay?"

Chelsea just said"Yes." in a small voice but still could be heard by Zanir so he let go of his embrace and immediately faced Chelsea's father.

It's almost midnight but Zanir hasn't come back yet. Chelsea were uncomfortable and there was a strange feeling in his chest, he was restless. He hopes Zanir is okay. The door opened slowly and Chelsea called out Zanir's name.

"Zanir?!" But what was at the door was not Zanir but his two younger brothers Zanir. The one who opened by grabbing the doorknob was Eigero while the one pushing the door was Lucas.

"Sister Chel, is brother here?" Lucas ran small while asking for his brother but Chelsea did not know what to say for these two little boys.

He himself did not know where Zanir was going and he was currently worried about him, just like the two of them.

"Your sister is taking care of the plants so she'll be right back."

"This evening?" Said Eigero who was standing beside Lucas while frowning.

"Yes, I'm worried too but take it easy. I'll pick her up so you guys just sleep first."

Lucas and Eigero stared at each other and then returned to Chelsea. "But you promised you'd read us a fairy tale before we went to bed."

Chelsea was upset that she did not know what her father had ordered so Zanir had not returned, she immediately picked up a bell nearby and rang it.

Shortly after, a maid lady came and bowed respectfully.

"For now, you go back to your room and the waiter will read you a fairy tale. Please take them and read them a fairy tale."

Maid agreed and Lucas and Eigero felt sad because they could not hear the exciting fairy tale from his brother but they believed that brother was working for them both so they would not want to have to obey.

The two return to their room with the help of the maid and Chelsea go to see her father.

Her father's office door was knocked and her father said "Get in." from behind the door. When the door opened, he saw that his father was still taking the documents on his desk seriously.

"Dad." He called his father in a soft tone. His father stopped writing as if he knew what he wanted to ask his son.

"Come back, son, if you're looking for Zanir, he's I'm asking him for an important assignment."

"But... It's already night! Tell me where Zanir went?!"

"Just sleep. He'll be back in a minute."

Chelsea bit her lip in annoyance and walked out of her father's room and slammed the door hard. His father only sighed after seeing his worried son.

Secretly Chelsea ran a little in the hallway towards the exit. He was convinced that Zanir was in town and he had to see him so he could get home.

Deep in the darkness of the city. A man ran over in a hurry and his face was soaked in cold sweat. The black shadow with blue eyes walked leisurely behind the man. The man continued to run without looking back.

But he stopped because in front of him was a dead end. The man turned around while shouting "Hii!" violently.

"Please! Forgive me."

A moment later the man's head slipped from his neck and blood came out until the ground turned to blood.

The shadow looked up at the sky and then disappeared quickly as if he did not exist.

Chelsea looked around to find Zanir but everywhere she saw only the empty street illuminated by street lights.

He fell because he hit something hard. As he looked ahead, a tall man stood up as if he was like a solid wall.

The man smiled, which frightened Chelsea. His mind says he has to run away from her.

He threw sand at the man's face and immediately ran as fast as he could. Chelsea continued to run but the man soon caught Chelsea.

"Take me off!" The wind gathered and threw the man deep into the sky.

Chelsea used the opportunity to run away and soon found Zanir but he met some men who seemed like male friends before.

"Well, whoa. Looks like we got a good prey."
