"Good job, you finally came back home, my son"

"…" Cameron looked at the man in front of him and smiled bitterly.

​​

"Thanks… father…" He said.

"His majesty is very pleased with your recent actions; he is preparing to reward us handsomely" Said the man.

"About my family…"

"Forget about them, they are not your family, don't forget your role, you are a spy, although you lived too many years in Leitol, your roots are here, in Greycastle, your family is us" He said.

Cameron looked at the direction of his father.

His uncles and aunts.

His brothers and sisters.

His mother and father.

Everyone who he always thought as a family went he was young was there.

"But why I don't feel happy at all" thought Cameron.

"My son, I feel a strange energy on you?"

Cameron took a small pendant from him.

"It this…"

"This is the soul of the one that killed Bodhisattva" Said Cameron.

"What!?" Said his mother.

"Bodhisattva was killed!?" Said his father stunned.

"Yes"

Cameron told the story to his clan…

However, something was strange, from the stunned faces of everyone, a trace of happiness could be seeing.

"My son, I am proud of you!" Said the white-haired man.

"Excuse me…?"

"You didn't search for personal gains and told us the whole truth without baiting an eye"

Cameron stood there for some seconds trying to comprehend what happened.

"Were you testing me…?" Concluded Cameron.

"Of course not" Said his mom.

"WE DON'T AT LEAST" She said.

Everyone turned to the door and kneeled on the ground.

Cameron looked in the direction, the door opened and the figure walked elegantly.

The figure walked in an elegant black kimono.

It walked until it was exactly 1 meter away from Cameron.

"I heard what you say, good job" Said the woman.

Cameron wasn't an idiot, he kneeled on the ground and presented the collar towards the woman.

The woman smiled and nodded at the gesture of Cameron.

"You will be a good blade to his majesty" Said the woman.

"How should I call my lord?" Asked Cameron.

"My name is not important; I am just a servant of the great lord" Said the woman.

She received the pendant and flames suddenly surge from the ground.

They engulfed the woman and, in an instant, she disappeared leaving a trace of burning ground.

It passed a whole minute before everyone finally stood up.

"My son, with your effort, the golden family will finally be able to surge"

"Yes father…"

"Go, go now and rest, you had a long trip"

Cameron wanted to say something but he kept to himself.

He bowed to his family and finally left the room.

After Cameron left, the face of all the familiars changed from happy smiles to arrogant smiles.

"Hmph! That bastard was finally useful!" Said the mother of Cameron.

"The only thing that he needed to do and he took more than 20 years to do it! Trash! A complete trash!" Said his father.

"The good news is that his filthy son is dead, after he dies, our family will finally purify from the dirty blood of her mother!" Said another person.

"Yes!"

"A toast! To the golden family!"

"TO THE GOLDEN FAMILY!"

As everyone in the room celebrated, Cameron went to his room and drank until he passed out.

.................................…..

The woman in the black kimono reappeared in a dark room.

From her hand, flames appeared lightened up the place.

A pair of black and white swords could be seen in the center of the room, however, these swords were rusty, like they would break down at any time.

"My loved ones, your time has finally come" Said the woman.

She put the pendant in front of the swords.

"With this pure energy…"

The swords vibrated and began to suck energy from the pendant.

"It won't take long, just two months, two months, and this world would finally be able to see your greatness"

The two swords vibrated and began to suck the soul force from the pendant.

The woman smiled and turned to leave.

However, just as she was about to leave, she felt a presence from behind.

The woman didn't turn and her smile turned even wider.

"A pleasure to meet you I guess"

From the pendant, a figure appeared.

It had long brown hair and a pair of green eyes, her figure was blurred and her presence seemed that will disappear at any minute.

"I feel a similar presence from you… I guess we are the same in a way, right?" Said the woman.

"I can feel the power of fire coming from you" Said the blurred figure.

"And I feel the power of life… and death? That's weird… however… it's the perfect fuel to my beloved ones" Said the woman.

The blurred figure turned and saw the pair of swords.

"These swords…"

"I felt a pity for you, your lord isn't as good as my, well, it was obvious I guess, nobody is as good as my lord" Said the woman.

"Haha"

"What are you laughing at?" Asked the woman.

"You call your beloved one as your lord? Haha, sorry, sorry, it's quite amusing"

"You…ha, I guess having your soul disappeared and having no way to do anything about it must be quite…amusing for you" Said the woman with a smirk.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that" Said the blurred figure with a smile.

"What?"

"I don't know; I have this feeling…"

"That I won't be here for so long"

The blurred figure smiled and left, leaving the pendant there.

The woman in the black kimono clutched her fist in fury.

"Damn woman"

She closed the room and put a seal on it.

"Let's see if your 'beloved one' can find you here" Murmured the woman in black.

..............................

At the same time.

Greycastle, contrary to Leitol, didn't have a town protecting their frontier, it was only a desolate land that was used as a place for training soldiers in combat.

It was late at night and one soldier who was sleeping comfortably suddenly woke up.

"What is that sound…" He though.

He stood up and grabbed his spear.

However, just as he was about to walk he felt something on his back.

"Go to sleep" He felt a voice coming from behind.

Before he fainted out, he saw the image of a handsome man with white skin and black hair.
