⟨ STAY AWAY FROM ME ⟩
“You are joking, right?” Cheng asked.
“I’m dead serious Cheng, I want you to come back to the palace and live with us” King Osvaldo said.
“Why all of a sudden? You clearly said it yourself that you don’t want me to live among you all. I begged you not to banned from being part of the family, but you paid a deaf ears to my pleadings, and now you want me back in the palace, What for? So you all can call me a demon and a curse child?” Cheng asked.
“That’s not it Cheng”
“Then what!! You think I will be happy that you want me back in the palace, when you never wanted me for good ten years” Cheng said.
“I’m sorry for neglecting you Cheng. I only did what I felt was right at that moment. When I saw you a pool of blood last night, that’s when I realized how important you were to me. I was so scared to death thinking I was going to lose you.
“Well you lost me ten years ago when all of you turned your back on me, you left me to my fate, not caring about how I was going to survive with a demon inside me. I was just 13 years old, do you know how difficult it was living by myself at that age? It was so lonely and painful, and yet not once did you even bother to check up on me, and now just because I almost died last night you want me back in the palace, as what?” Cheng asked cleaning the tears in his eyes.
“That’s why I want to make it up to you Cheng. For ten years I know I have been a bad father to you, allow me to mend my mistakes and shower you with all the love I can give” King Osvaldo said with pleading eyes.
“I don’t need your love. The time I needed you the most has longed been gone and buried. I grew up alone, and I’m used to it. I don’t need any of you” Cheng said.
He tried to leave the room, but pain hits him, and he let out a groan. He held his stomach and discovered he was bleeding.
“You are bleeding Cheng. Just wait right here and don’t move an inch, I’ll get the physician” King Osvaldo said in a worried tone and rushed out of the room.
✨✨✨
Waylon watched as Cheng’s stomach was been bandage by the palace physician.
King Osvaldo had a meeting with the ministers of Maelstrom, so he left.
“The bleeding has stopped, but he has to be careful from now on, still he is healed” The physician said.
Cheng looks at him, and the physician bowed his head, with so trepidation.
Waylon noticed it and asked him to leave. The palace physician bowed his head and left the room.
“How are you feeling now Cheng? Does your wound still hurt?” Waylon asked sitting beside him, pouring a herbal medicine soup in a ceramic bowl.
“Why do you care if I die or not? For all we know you have longed wished that I’m dead” Cheng said.
“That’s not true Cheng” Waylon said shaking his head.
“Oh really? Each and everyone of you wished I died, that’s why none of you ever bothered about coming to see me. A little visit from you all would have been okay, but no, none of you ever bothered to check up on me. You all wanted me to die” Cheng said.
“That’s not true Cheng. I didn’t check up on you back then because I was so scared about what you will do to me. You almost ki||ed me on the night you became a demon”.
Cheng looks at him.
⟨ FLASH BACK ⟩
“Cheng what’s going on with you” Waylon asked. But Cheng performed dark magic on him and Waylon flew to a distance hitting his back on the king’s status.
“I’m going to destroy all of you” He said in three voices performing dark magic and destroying the palace with it.
⟨ FLASH BACK ENDS ⟩
“I never h@ťěd you Cheng, I was just afraid of getting hurt again. I know that not an excuse, but you would have done the same thing if you were in shoe. The caring boy I know became a demon all of a sudden, it was a meal I couldn’t digest” Waylon said, but Cheng remained quiet without saying a word to him.
“Drink this Cheng, it will help you recover quickly” Waylon said giving him the ceramic bowl containing the herbal medicine soup.
Cheng looked at the herbal medicine soup and looked away. “I don’t want to drink it, you might have added poison on it” He said and Waylon smiles lightly.
“Really, is that how you think of me? You’d think I am going to poison you? Even I want to, you’re a demon and it can easily flushed away”.
“If it happens that way, I won’t be here with a wound in my stomach” Cheng said, and Waylon smiles.
“I’m glad you were able to control your demon Cheng, although you stabbed yourself, but Tatiana is not hurt because of it”.
“Tatiana?”
“Don’t worry about her Cheng, she is doing okay. I’m sure she will be over the moon, if she knows you are awake already. She cried so much last night”.
“Tatiana? Who is she?” Cheng asked.
“Huh?” Waylon muttered with opened eyes.
