Lord of the Truth

Chapter 341 My Friend..

”Lady Mila... when you meet Lady  Mila in the realm of the dead... Will she praise you for the horrors you did in her name?!” Billy shouted

After those words, even Robinʼs lumbering steps finally stopped... This wasnʼt the first time he had been hit by this question, Billyʼs question had run through his head a thousand times by now already!

But every time it appeared, Robin would shake his head and resolve to continue what he had started.

Would Mila be satisfied with what heʼs doing? No way...

Regardless of whether he would meet her in another life form or not, if he had met her before she died and had told her that he would do all this for her, she would have absolutely refused, she would have told him that she did not want all this madness to be associated with her.

But... Was he doing all this for Mila? of course not.

”Mila Bradley the wife of I, Robin Burton, wonʼt go to the afterlife alone! Everyone involved in her death shall perish, and everyone who has a relationship with those who are involved in her death will die as well!! I have already decided and nothing you say would stop me, Billy, Iʼve made up my mind!” Robin shouted with absolute pride and anger.

”...Heh~ My dear friend Robin, the time may not be right but let me confess something, maybe I wouldnʼt have another chance to say it... I have always envied and hated you.” Billy straightened his seat on the ground, looked at his feet, and began to speak in a tone full of self-sarcasm, ”We were born into two different classes, your father was a useless wretch and my father was one of the chief officials of the family, yet since the age of three I have been pushed by my father to stay by your side all the time.”

”YOU..!!” Robinʼs look of internal conflict and anger disappeared and he opened his eyes to the end when he heard this...

Even the only friend he got from his dry childhood was a Fake..?

Then Billy continued, ignoring Robinʼs reaction, ”I didnʼt know why I was being pushed towards you like that, It seemed for me a boring thing to do especially since you didnʼt have any other friends, but you seemed to be thirsty for a friend and you treated me well, so I liked you too, but I soon knew why you were friendless...

As the months and years passed, I saw that you surpassed me in training speed, I saw so much intelligence in your actions that I felt stupid next to you! ...I originally thought I was talented enough, it turned out that I was nothing...

The talent that I was proud of became useless, I did not use it as I didnʼt have any motive, what can I possibly be when someone like you in the family, and worst, in my generation?!

But I also realized why the elders pushed me to be around you... without anyone telling me I tried to be a good member of the family and help YOU to be better, I tried to motivate you to participate in competitions, I tried to get you to increase your training speed, I was preventing those who are bigger and stronger than you from Getting close to you by threatening them or call and elder in the right time so as not to bother you or give you a trauma, I tried to push you to accept more family resources to get stronger quickly...

I was envious of you and a part of me hated you and hated the task I was entrusted with, yet I was trying to do everything for YOU to become stronger and more famous.. the elders deeply hated you and envied you because you were not of their direct lineage, but they were racing to provide comfort and resources for you.

And in the end? You throw everything on the wall one day and simply disappeared... Every day I waited for you at the entrance to the village telling myself that you would come back today, but weeks and months passed and you never came back.

You, you selfish thing, simply gave up the dreams of the family, you gave up your mother who loved you, you gave up on ME who decided to live my life only to help you, and you decided to escape from your enormous responsibility to the family and from the gift that the universe gave you!!

So I decided to train hard and with all my strength, I decided to come back and rely on the talent that I put on the shelf for you so that I could become a new pillar for the family, not because I wanted what you got or because I desired responsibilities! can you guess why? Because I wanted to make up for your absence and make everyone forget about you, instead of becoming the eternal traitor you were slowly becoming!

Even after you left me behind without saying a word and never looked back I kept thinking about how to help you, hehe pathetic isnʼt it?

Although you betrayed me by leaving, I was still longing to see you, although I was still envious of your talent, I also felt pity for your weak mentality... But everything changed when I was assigned a mission to investigate a young man named Caesar Burton.

When I saw the results of your upbringing of Caesar, when I saw what you managed to achieve in just 130 years, When I, later on, saw you destroying the tyrants in Dolivar and building factories and a good future for the innocent, I was sure that you did not betray my trust and did not evade responsibility, but that you held the responsibility of the whole world on your shoulders all that time, not just the familyʼs...

I could not imagine the extent of the suffering and difficulties you went through to reach what you have reached, But I have seen one thing that you always saw and I was oblivious to... I saw that you, my friend, were not born to lead a family, you were born to lead the whole world.

​ I knew that you were the Chosen One, that the likes of you were not and will never be born in this world again... So I decided to serve you forever, to train harder and learn politics and leadership faster so that I can help you manage your property and not occupy your head with trifles and distract you from your great destiny even for a second.. again You led my life without knowing it.

Robin... I may be too small for you to consider me a friend now, but to me, you always be my friend, my idol, I have known you since you were born, AND THIS IS NOT YOU...

You were born to change the world not to destroy it, you were born to be heavenʼs punishment for those who deserve to be punished, and to be the mercy sent by the heavens to the innocent... You are not a tyrant, were born to rule this world with justice!”
