King's Destined First Love

Chapter 6 !

Chapter 6 ~ 

Elise’s breath susurrated. Even though her sister and friend used to hit her, they were not so brute to make her bleed from their beating, yet those boys whipped him with no mercy.

“They are so cruel; how could they miscue someone? Do they not fear that karma would hit them eventually” Elise touched the wound and scolded those people. 

Her fragile heart ached, thinking how much he had suffered, why people were so cruel. 

How could a human be so evil to another human to beat a person like this? The boy couldn’t look at her face because his back was facing her. 

But the sympathy and pain in her voice were evident that he felt his heart warmed up.

It’s been so long that someone talked to him without caring about his lowly birth status. Although he was used to people’s disdainful looks and cruel acts on him, he’s not the first time they had hit him. 

He has countless wounds and scars that he got from this kingdom’s people. Now he only hates them, but he never raised his head in front of them because he knows if he looks up, 

they will show him that they have been on top since their birth and how disgusting and lowly he was since his birth.

It’s not that he was a weak person, but his mother was the one who put this label on his body. She used to tell him if someone from the royal family hit him. 

He should keep his head down and let them do whatever they want because messing with him would not do any good to him.

Elise took out a small bottle. It was a liquid to wash his wounds; she took small clothes from the box and tried to clean up his wound. 

His body tensed up. She looked at his scary wound; Elise was scared, but she was trying to keep her calm, like always.

She looked at her left hand and raised it in front of him “hey, you can hold my hand if you’re in pain. I’ll be as gentle as possible..”

The boy looked at her tiny hand, and his mood suddenly lightened up at a small girl. She was more kind-hearted than those people who call themselves his family.

“Why are you helping me? The boy suddenly asked. He could tell how old she was. The girl was more mature, like an old lady. 

Just looking into his eyes, she could tell he was in pain, talking too much, but kept her emotions inside her heart; she knew his despair might be because she also suffered once.

“Because God might reward me with something to alleviate my mom’s suffering,” the girl murmured, but too loud, she just said it to make her heart feel better. 

She believes when someone is in pain, one should help; seeing this kind of act, maybe God will help the person, 

She also wanted God's mercy because only God could give her what she wanted. In this world, god left nothing good for her anymore, only her mother. That’s why she wants to do good things for her mother.

She thought she said it in a low voice, but the boy heard her wanting to say something but didn’t dare to; she wanted to keep it a secret, so he stayed silent.

But seeing all she was thinking about her mother, his mood soured. It seems her mother loved her, but his mother only gave him endless pain.

After Elise finished bandaged his wounds, she looked up. “I have to go back now. I’m new here, so I don’t about the rules of his kingdom, but it’s better to be careful; what if the maids complain to the king, take this medicine, later apply this on you again, okay” Elise handed over the box and turned to left,

Since childhood, her mother taught her that, for a girl, reputation was the most priceless in this world. Being ladylike only could win people’s hearts, so she always tried to stay within her limit and live according to the country's rules.

The boy stopped her “what is your name? He wanted to ask her too many things, but he could only ask her what her name was in the end.

Elise smiled brightly. “Elise, but my mom calls me Eli” she turned her head and left.

The boy stood in his spot and murmured her name, “Elise, Eli” it seems he likes the name. It was a simple name, but this gave him a unique feeling. Her name, also like her, quickly makes people feel warm,

Both of them were strangers, but her kindness connected them. He was shocked; she was younger than him but had more kindness and bravery, which is rare nowadays. 

She didn’t show her pain, even though he felt her pain. Instead, she tried to show a peaceful smile so that he would focus on her, not on his pain when she treated his pain.

He looked at the medicine box she left with him. Her smile planted in his mind, and it will stay there because, in his life, she was the first person who smiled at him and felt his pain.

People remember two things in life, first crush and first love. Suddenly, this thought shook him to the core. He knew this girl would stay in his mind for a long time, but he didn’t think she would be the person who would change his life.

He turned to leave when someone came to him when he noticed the person, his eyes turned cold “can you please stop coming behind me, I’m not interested in your offer, stop harassing me like this” the innocent boy was nowhere to see,

The man suddenly laughed when he saw the burning fire in the boy’s eyes “are you sure you will not come with me because if you take my offer, you can be someone who can get everything you wish.”

The man, this time, didn’t plaster him anymore and left as he came. The boy, who never wavered for once, felt his willpower weakened for a second.

But soon, he jerked off the thought out of his mind and walked away after the boy left. The man came out of the shadows, and this time there were two more people with him. They looked young, 

Around 20, but their eyes and stony expressions didn’t match their age. Instead, they looked dangerous and scary.

Thank god, that they didn’t come out when Elise was still there,

One of the younger men asked the middle-aged man, “Master, if he keeps denying us, what are we going to do? The more time will pass, the more we have to wait; why can’t we look for another owner for this responsibility?” 

The younger boy was a little frustrated that they had to come to this boy repeatedly, but he kept refusing them.

The middle-aged man laughed when he heard this “no one could do this, because destiny chooses him, and no need to worry, because someone is here to push him toward his responsibility, gather our people, we are going to leave soon,” 

The man said with a bright smile on his face. The other two men were confused, but they didn’t question their master because they know in this world, only their master could say everything before time, like predicting the future.

And they believe him no matter what he says, and this was not the first he said something, and the incident turned out to be true.

After The boy left the lakeside, he went to his house, which he shared with his mother. As he entered, something flew toward him. The boy didn’t dodge the hit, and the thing cut his forehead.

“You bastard, why are you home only now? Do you know how hard it was for me to carry those things? Why didn't you come home to help me” a woman crushed him in her disgustingly sharp voice?

The boy didn't even respond because it was just his mother's excuse for beating him; he just stood there silently and waiting to see how his mother would punish him today.

t was another day where he was going to get the punishment he deserves from his mother's point of view, 

Seeing he did not even apologize for his mother losing her sane, and picked the stick from the ground and started to beat 

The boy didn't even winch. As a result, blood was coming out from his newly banded wounds that Elise put earlier.  

The boy mocked his fate. Earlier, he knew this would happen. His body would bleed again, so there was no need to apply for any medicine, but her innocence made him forget everything for a while. Now reality has crashed him once again.
