Red Storm Volume 2 Chapter 1 part3

Book 2-1.3 Flashback (II)

Venersis, who was holding her right hand with his left hand, and her shoulder with his right hand, shouted out in extreme surprise, but before he knew it, the dagger had cut through her skin.

“No!”

Venersis shouted as he urgently grabbed her left hand and pulled the dagger out, but a fountain of blood started to pour out of her chest. Even Venersis’ quick action could not prevent the dagger from stabbing her heart.

“My tribe … and my son … will follow the rules of the desert and make sure to get rid of you.”

Mairez looked at Venersis with eyes full of grudge, and Venersis felt like every place her eyes landed on hurt more than when he was slashed by a shamshir.

As Mairez’s body started to grow cold in his arms, Venersis just blankly stood in place.

Now, he could no longer get rid of the stigma that Venersis, the ‘Bloodied Hands’ murdered the Mother of Pareia. He could not make any kind of excuse. His name and his pride had both received a large scar.

“Hmm……”

Venersis looked down at Mairez with a blank expression before letting out a loud moan. He then carefully laid her down in the paoe and walked out.

A long time later, the large box that was in the corner of the paoe started to move around.

Thunk.

The lid of the box made a noise as it flipped open, and a young boy came jumping out of it.

His eyes that were open extremely wide looked to be very shocked.

Although he had opened the box just slightly to make sure nobody was around before opening the lid, the shock in the heart of the child had not subsided.

The next moment, the child’s eyes grew so wide they looked like they might rip. The black pupils in his eyes grew large before suddenly shrinking.

“Mother.”

The boy who looked to be around ten years old had seen Mairez’s body. The boy urgently called to her as he ran towards her.

Yulian Provoke.

The first son of the Glow of the Pareia tribe, Mairez’s one and only son Yulian, could no longer speak after seeing the bloody chest of his mother and just kneeled down next to her.

‘Mother…..’

Tears started to fall from Yulian’s eyes. He put a hand over his mouth to muffle his cry and hugged his mother’s body.

Knowing that Venersis’s attack had started outside, Mairez tried to hide her son, but Yulian was stubbornly not listening. He was a male and a son, so he felt that he should protect his mother, who was a woman.

What Mairez had said to convince her son after feeling proud seeing the small practice shamshir in her son’s hand, ended up being the last words Yulian ever heard coming out of his mother’s mouth.

“Mother……”

With his hands and face completely covered in blood, Yulian laid on his mother’s chest and cried quietly. He needed to keep his mother’s wish.

Although he was very young at 10 years old, he knew exactly what he had to do. If he cried loudly right now, he would simply end up a prisoner. The cost to get him back would be quite heavy as well.

“Mother, I will not be sad. I will only cry this one time. Mother, I … this son of yours will make sure to return this grudge…I will follow the law of the desert and return it in the exact same way … so I will not be sad.”

A boy’s promise.

The child of Baguna, the Glow of Pareia, and Mairez, the Mother of Pareia.

While Yulian Provoke was making this promise, outside, the dry desert sand and the dust of the wilderness had absorbed a lot of human blood. It then combined with the wind that you often see in the desert wilderness.

A red wind befitting the name Red Desert started to blow.
