Defending Left-Handed

Chapter 2

"What are you doing? It is so early in the morning," Reasee asked as he immersed from the dark because he noticed Liriel was doing something. He looked at the window. It was closed with curtain but he could still tell that the sun had not risen yet.

Liriel looked at him while he still continued wiping his gun. Reasee dishveled his already messy brown hair to look more presentable. He was still on his pajamas. He looked at Liriel. He was wearing their new knight uniforms intended for the protectors of the king. The king who did nothing but punished those people who were against him.

"I am preparing my weapoons, can't you see?" Liriel answered Reasee sarcastically. Reasee already knew what he was doing. He did not need to ask what was Liriel's doing.

Reasee walked towards the sink to wash his face and drink a water before he answered Liriel. He faced Liriel, afterwards.

"I know. What I mean is, why are you preparing your weapons and why are you wearing your uniform? We do not have any work today beside tonight."

Today was the day the King was crowned. It was his fifth anniversary as a king. He wanted to held a ball and as king's protectors, they should prepare. His life already received many threats coming from the left-handed community that's why the securities were already in vigilant mode in order to maintain his safety.

"What date is today?" Liriel asked to Reasee while he was still polishing his gun. Even Reasee was confused about his question he still answered it. "June 30, XX21"

Liriel put down the gun and cloth to clenched his fist. He already expected the answer but the memories from the past would not stop popping up. He remembered everything.

"What date does the king sat on his throne?"

He was asking Reasee those information for him to remember his intentions. His purpose of living.

"June 30, XX16. His fifth year, that's why we should prepare ourselves for the ball, right?"

A minute later, Reasee realized and slapped himself on his cheek. He remembered.

A fifteen year old boy walked towards the swing and saw an orphan kid who looked like almost at his age.

"What day does the kingsats on his throne?" Liriel asked. He forgot about it. He was too occupied to remember the date when his parents died.

He sat on the swing beside him. He looked at Liriel from head to toe and shrugged. Then later on he chuckled like crazy. What's wrong with him? Liriel asked to himself.

"The 30th of June. Why?" He answered though the chuckling look of his face was still there.

Liriel sighed. What date is it today? Ahh, July 07, he asked and answered himself.

"It's been a week, huh."

Remembering the scenario that happened last week still shatters his heart and consciousness. He still could not believe that it happened and he had not move on yet. He might be still small but he was terrible. He would going to avenge his parents. He was going to give them justice. He would not let his parent's death come to waste.

"I'm going to get rid of him once his fifth anniversary comes."

Five years. Five years was already enough for me to make a plan and execute them. He would surely get rid of him.

His attention diverted when he heard him laughed.

"Hahaha! How can you do that? It is way too impossible. You are just going to make yourself in trouble and of course, how can a normal citizen of Lenome get rid the king, huh? Wake up kid! That is treason."

Liriel hissed. The child must be thinking he was that crazy.

No, I am not crazy and my plan is not impossible! I will definitely succeed. From now on, I'll erase impossible to my vocabulary, Liriel thought.

He stared at him angrily. He was still laughing.

He noticed Liriel was staring at him and he cleared her throat. "Oh, I'm sorry."

Liriel stand up harshly and not even giving him a single glance. "Just wait and see," Liril said.

Just wait and see.

Liriel came back to reality. He noticed that Reasee were already in panic.

"You are not going to do something bad, are you?"

Liriel just shrugged as an answer. Reasee already knew his answer. He knew what he had been through and why he was like that.

"You are going to make yourself in trouble Liriel! Why can't you understand me?!" He shouted in whisper.

Liriel sighed.

"You're the one who can't understand me, Reasee. You may know what I've been through but you don't know what it feels like because of that dumbass king. So please stop interfering in my plans," he said calmly.

He did not want to start a fight right now and his mind was already fixed. This night will be the president's last night.

"And what? Watch you make your move on your own? I know you Liriel, sometimes you get blinded by your emotions and maybe because of that, you will be able to do something that is not on the right time and place."

"Shut up," the only words that came out from Liriel's mouth. Reasee was right and he admitted. But he would not allow it to overpower him and change his plans.

"It's that what you want, huh? Fine!" he walked out and went to the garden to get some fresh air.

Liriel sighed once again. That stupid Reasee, he should not be in here if he only distance himself away from Liriel. If he only stayed at the orphanage where he was safe and not in this knights quarters.

It was not that Liriel brought him trouble it was his fault that he always stuck himself to a trouble. Liriel was going to continue his plan even Reasee was against to it. This is for the left-handed and he would do it even it will risk his life.

He was just getting started.
