After closing the door, I felt very satisfied, then chuckled to myself when I saw the image of the boy kneeling down, his whole body trembling with fear, making me happier than ever, but then a question appeared in my mind.
[But wait, I remember reading a book of Bryan family regulations in my home library that mentioned that all main and side branches that have Bryan family blood will have a piece of land in the capital, but how can I be a branch of the Bryan family, why didn't father tell me that there was a piece of land, and also we are also a famous noble family, how can they give us a piece of land in the border like this? This should belong to less famous families, right?]
While I was thinking, my father's voice rang out:
"What are you doing there standing there for so long?"
Hearing the familiar voice brought me out of my thoughts and I told my father.
"It's okay dad, let's go inside now."
When he heard me say that, my father looked at me with a suspicious look, but then he turned and walked towards the living room and said:
"If there's nothing else, then follow me to the living room. I have something important to tell you."
When I heard that, I also followed my father into the living room. When we got to the living room, my father and I sat down on the chair. Then my father put the invitation that the boy had just given me in front of me and said in a very serious voice:
"Open it and see, this is a letter written by the emperor.
I felt my hands shaking as I picked up the letter, thinking to myself.
[I don't know what the emperor wrote in this, but his face is so serious. This letter must be written by the emperor about something very important, or there's going to be a war, it makes me nervous]
then opened it to see what was written in the letter.
*To Garcon van Bryan
I am Arthur Amory, king of the Archos empire. It's been a long time since we've seen each other. How have you been? But I think you're still in good health. I'm writing this letter to invite your son to come to the capital to attend my daughter's birthday. If you come along, I won't say anything.
I hope you will respond to me soon.
My sword.
Arthur Amory*
After I read that letter, a thought immediately came to my mind.
[Oh my god! I thought it was something important but it was just a birthday party, making me worry too much, and it's just a birthday, why organize a party like that, what a waste of money, can I not go?]
While I was still lost in thought, my father suddenly spoke up:
"Are you going, Phaon?"
When I heard my father's voice, I thought for a moment and finally decided to speak with determination:
"If this is a letter from the emperor, then it's not certain that I have to go. If I don't go, it will not be good for our family's reputation. But I have a question to ask, can you answer it for me?"
When he heard the replacement, his face immediately showed a surprised look as he looked at me and said,
"Oh! This is the first time I've seen you ask me that, so tell me what you're wondering about."
When I heard the acceptance from my father, I spoke out my thoughts from earlier:
"Father, according to the Bryan family's rule book in the library, we have a piece of land in the capital, right?"
He heard my question, his face no longer showed surprise, but a sad expression as he said:
"I thought you were asking something important, but you were only asking about that piece of land. I don't know what you want that piece of land for, but I'm sorry to say that I don't have any land there."
Hearing that, I immediately showed a surprised look and said:
"Why don't we have a piece of land inside the capital? According to the rules, we should have one."
When he heard me say that, he stood up, walked to the window, sighed and said:
"Because in our lives, you and I have made an unforgivable mistake."
When I heard that, I looked at my father and blurted out:
"Related to mother and child?"
When he heard me say that, he shook his head and said slowly:
"You shouldn't know now, you will understand later. Now you also want to sit and hug and go to rest. Tomorrow I will prepare a carriage for you to go to the capital."
He said that and when I just blinked, he had disappeared from the living room. After that, I also went out of the living room to have dinner and finished my personal hygiene. I then returned to my room. That night, when I lay in bed, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about the conversation I had with my father that evening, causing me to have many chaotic thoughts.
[What mistake did he make that made my father leave that land? And since I crossed over to here, I still haven't seen my mother's face. I don't know where she went. I don't know if she's alive or dead. My father kept saying that she was the strongest girl in his youth, but also had a gentle side, making my father infatuated. But when I asked him why he couldn't see my mother, he didn't say anything more. I don't know what happened in the past that made my mother leave.]
Those thoughts kept appearing in my head, making me very uncomfortable, but I don't know when I gradually fell asleep, but when I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in a room that was all white:
"Hello, your name is Bryan, right?"
Suddenly a voice asked me to be alert and look around, the voice continued to ring:
"Hey calm down I have no intention of killing anyone*
Then a figure with a white body appeared in front of me, that person had no mouth, hands, eyes, nose, but only a body like that of a human, when I saw the scene that appeared before my eyes, it made me surprised and my mind filled with thoughts.
[What the hell is happening before my eyes? A person with no eyes, mouth, or nose, how can he talk to me without a mouth, is he a ghost or something]
When I thought of it, my body started to tremble, because I didn't know if the creature in front of me was a human or a ghost, I immediately stood up and prepared to fight, when he saw me like that, he raised his hand to his head and said to me:
"Hey calm down I don't intend to kill you, I guess my appearance scared you, sorry, but I haven't introduced myself yet I'm Diggory, the god of humanity, the one who summoned you to this world"
When I heard that, I was surprised and asked the person in front of me:
"What do you mean you're the one who brought me into this world?"
When he heard me, he nodded and said:
"Yes, I am the one who summoned you here, with the purpose of breaking the seal that has imprisoned me for hundreds of years."
Hearing the words of the person who claimed to be a god in front of me made me even more suspicious and said:
"Why did you bring me here and not the others? And why did you claim to be the god of humanity and get sealed? Or are you trying to trick me?"
When he heard my questions, he stepped forward in front of me and smiled, then he said:
"Your question is very good, so I have to answer. First, I chose you because I see your kindness. A person who is not afraid of danger and rushes out to protect others is something I cherish, so I don't want you to die like that."
When he finished saying that, the person started speaking in an angry voice:
"Secondly, I was sealed by those damn humans, along with those Dragons. I helped them a lot with tools, how to make fire, make food, build a state, and even magic. But when they had everything, they betrayed me, allied with those Dragons, sealed my power, and imprisoned me in this damn continent. You understand why I have to endure you."
When I heard him say all of the above, I knew why he was sealed. I still had a few questions I wanted to ask him, so I immediately spoke up:
"Then can I ask one last question?"
When he saw me speak, the man gradually calmed down, then looked at me for a long time and the man in front of me also said:
"So say your question."
When I heard that, I quickly asked:
"You said you had all your power sealed away, but you can still summon and talk to me? Why didn't they kill you and not you? And who created you?"
When he heard my question, the person in front of me turned around and walked around the room while saying:
"You're asking a lot, but if you want to know, I have to answer, even though my power is sealed, I still have some unsealed power, so I can summon and talk to you, next, why don't they kill me?, because I'm a god, I can't die in a normal way, finally, you asked who created me? It's a pity, but I don't know who created me either, so I've answered all your questions, so will you help me unseal it?"
Hearing that, I immediately replied to him:
"You think I can help you just because of your words? Are you dreaming?"
When he saw that, the man suddenly burst out laughing and looked at me and said:
"It's harder to convince you than I thought, but it's okay. You'll definitely help me in the future, right Hoang Tran?"
When that person finished speaking, his body suddenly disappeared. When he disappeared, it created a light that blinded me, so I had to cover my eyes with my hand. Then suddenly I woke up and saw that I was in my room, not in that room. When it was replaced, I breathed a sigh of relief.
[So it was just a dream, but it felt so real, never mind, now I have to prepare my things to go to the capital]
After that, I cleaned myself up and got ready, then went to the front door. I saw my father's figure and a carriage there. I ran to my father and said:
"Dad is here"
When he saw me coming, my father pointed to the carriage and said:
"Here is the carriage I have prepared for you, hurry up and go before it's too late."
When I heard that, I went up to greet my father and said politely:
"Yes, then I'm going to say goodbye to you, dad. While you're living here, take care of your health."
When I said that I quickly ran to the carriage, and as I was about to climb up, my father said:
"Hey Phaon, remember to be polite when you go up there, and don't cause trouble, it will greatly affect the honor of our family, you hear?"
When I heard my father's voice, I smiled and said:
"Dad, don't worry, I won't let our family lose face. Then I'll go and say goodbye."
Then I looked up at the carriage, and it began to roll away from my territory at the edge of the Border and headed towards the capital of the Archos empire.
