Bern’s journey III
Suddenly, there was a noise between the turbulence and the bushes moved.
At that moment the escorts stand in front to protect me.
But, nothing appears.
While holding a sword, a guardian approaches the bush.
“……Th-This is……!”
The escort saw something in the bushes that left him paralyzed.
“What happened?”
“It is a child! A child is laying down.”
As soon as I hear it, I run to see the place.
Certainly a young and skinny girl was lying on the dirty ground.
“Go back to Pheng! Mauric, get me the water!”
While I embrace the girl, I instruct the escort which was behind me.
The girl’s body was surprisingly light.
“Are you okay?”
At my call, the girl opens her eyes weakly.
However, there is no focal point.
“Hey!… Hey!”
Despite calling hard, the girl never answered.
She opened her mouth slightly, and some breath flew out of her in front of my sight.
“I brought it!”
“Water! There is food too!”
I put out food before her mouth, but the girl’s mouth does not move.
I crushed some bits of hard food and entered them to my mouth while I take a sip of water and gave it to the girl’s mouth.
Surprised, the escorts tried to stop me… But they couldn’t in time.
The girl swallowed a little.
“…Delicious…”
There is not any special seasoning, it was dried food.
Rather for preservation, the taste is something you have to get used to. It’s not good.
Even so, the girl smiled like it was a special feast and said it.
“Yes …”
And the girl did not say any more words.
Tears overflow slightly from the edge of her closed eyes, falling to her cheeks and to the ground.
“Hey …! Hey …!”
I shake her, but she did not answer even if I called out.
The girl was not breathing anymore.
Desperately tracing the memory of receiving classes of the medical department in the college my sister made, but with the little knowledge I managed to learn, it is impossible to deal with such a case like this.
If she would have been born in that territory … If she were a person from that school.
No, if this child had been in the Duke of Almeria before, then this would have never happened…!
I can’t do anything, despite desperately trying.
“Mr. Bern, that one already …”
“Why! Why, such a child! … Why young children have to lose their lives!”
I shout those words at the escort.
Fierce emotions overflowed from my eyes as tears.
“Even though both are territories of similar conditions, those who rule this territory are so cruel and undisciplined…”
This time I couldn’t remain calm anymore.
Thinking of Count Monroe … anger gushed up in a moment.
Waste, waste, waste. You’re a criminal and the waste of humans!
At the shadow of being a lord, of an aristocrat, what do we find? they don’t bate an eyelid for sacrificing even such a child.
As I regretted and groaned, I embraced the girl strongly.
Do not go away … I’m willing to give you my life.
…… I did not move from there overnight.
I just kept hugging the girl who was just getting cold.
“Mr. Bern ……”
When the sun rises, one of the escort calls out to me again.
In response to that voice, I turned my eyes to them.
“Soon, I will return with you ….”
“… I want to visit this girl a little more… I’ll go after mourning her.”
Telling them that, I started her mourning quietly.
Silently I dug a hole and put the fragile body of the girl inside, while giving a quiet prayer.
“For the people, is that I work. Let me show you what aristocracy is and serve the public. “
Those are the words my sister said to the rulers.
I recall it.
What is a nobleman?
What is a territory, what is a country …?
As I go around, the sight of my sister words and my sister’s behavior are in my head.
… And when I opened my eyes I took out the blade and cut my hair on the spot.
“Mr. Bern …!”
While the escort cried in surprise to what I did, I stare at the hair that I just cut down hanging from my hand.
It was a burial of the past me and a manifestation of determination.
The heart to mourn the girl, the gratitude, and the quiet anger wrap me.
“Together with this girl, the me until now is dead.”
As I muttered and returned to my horse, I left the place for the kingdom.
On the way back, it was horribly quiet and fast.
Both myself and the guards were just rushing ahead.
And back to the kingdom and to the mansion, I head to see father.
“… You have changed your face considerably”
Besides Father, my mother breathed deeply while watching me.
“What did you see there?”
“… I have seen the hell of this world”
To my father’s question, I answered quietly… but yet I returned my words with determination.
Father takes a deep breath in response to my attitude.
“… bring this to the Imperial Palace”
I inclined my head in answer and said yes.
“Did you feel the powerlessness of yourself? Do you want to do something ?…
 I wanted to do something, did you think that from the bottom of your heart? … That happened to me… That’s why I want to change this country”
“Yes”
To my father’s question, I affirmed with energy.
“Then go ahead”
When I received the document, I left home and went fast to the royal palace.
