The Heiress Of The Legendary Family [S1]
The Memory of Young Master

Things I feel in this world..... There aren't.

Blank... Everything's empty.

There is no color at all. Just gray, gray, and gray again.

My life is monotonous. There is no intention of surviving.

Bored.... Vacuous.... By ourselves... Lonely....

I don't have any feelings of pleasure about anything. There aren't.

I am Louise Citrine, the only son of the Main Family, Citrine. I was referred to as the "Yellow Prince of the Western Plains".

I don't have anybody. I'm lonely.

Mother always attaches great importance to the files and documents about our territory. Never once cared about me.

Daddy's? Who's father? I don't know it and I don't want to know it.

My life is ordinary. Too ordinary, to make me bored.

Bored...

Be bored.....

And bored......

Really sucks.

I used to have no expression at all. Blame my mother who has never given me affection since I was born. No one genuinely cares about me. Nothing, except the boy...

That day, right where I was 8 years old, Mom and I went to visit one of the Main Families, Emerald. Mom said there was a matter to be discussed with the Emerald Leader at the time.

I'm the Citrine Heir, and that sucks.

I'm lazy, really very lazy. Moreover, when the "only" Princess Emerald always stuck to me like glue.

I hate that. I hate being touched. I hate that girl.

"Well, Louise~ Don't leave Misha~" whined the selfless woman. Cih, very disgusting. He even calls himself by his own name.

Uh, lebai. Alays. Jijai.

"Eungg~ Don't want to know! Louise has Misha! Point!"

Huh uh?! Me? The kid's possession?

Ahahaha!

Not funny.

I who was too disgusted immediately pushed him and went to see my mother who was having a serious conversation with the Emerald Leader.

From outside the room, I could clearly hear that they were fighting.

"WHAT?! SO YOU ABANDONED HIS SON IRIS?! HOW DARE YOU!"

I heard Mom's voice very angry. Mother was firm, but she never got that angry.

"WHY INDEED?! HE'S JUST A TRASH BOY! THAT WOMAN IS TRASH TOO! IT COULD BE THAT THE WOMAN GAVE BIRTH TO A CHILD OF DISGRACE JUST LIKE HER!" The Emerald leader also looked angry.

What's the matter? Who are they talking about?

PLAQUES

"GUARD YOUR WORD! IRIS IS MY BEST FRIEND, THAT MEANS, CASILDA IS ALSO MY SON!"

The casilda? Who is Casilda?

What's he... The kid they were talking about?

"I DON'T CARE! WANT HIM YOUR SON, WANT HIM MY SON, WHATEVER! THE IMPORTANT THING IS I WON'T THINK OF HIM AS A CHILD!"

"GUARD YOUR WORD! EVEN THOUGH IRIS LOVES YOU SO MUCH, AND YOU EVEN REPAY HER LIKE THIS?! YOU DICK!" From the crack of the door, I can see that Mother pulled the Emerald Leader's collar.

"HURRY TELL ME WHERE HE IS! TELL ME QUICKLY!"

The Emerald leader turned his face away while grieving. "PLEASE FIND IT YOURSELF THERE! I DON'T CARE!"

Search it? Do I have to find that kid named Casilda? From what Mom said, Casilda was the son of her best friend. That means, Casilda is also my best friend!

L'm... Have friends?

I have a friend!

I quickly ran through the Emerald region which was a very dense forest. Where's she? Where's Casilda?

Wait, hold on a second. I don't know Casilda's face.

Stupid me....

But, I don't care. Casilda might be the same age as me, right? Maybe he's still in this area!

I'm looking everywhere. Ukh, it turns out to be very difficult to find. But I'm not giving up! Anyway, Casilda I'll find!

Zrasshhhh

Hm? What is that sound? A waterfall?

I followed the sound of the waterfall getting louder and louder.

Whoaahh! So beautiful!

The view is so beautiful!

Uh wait, the kid... Wh who?

I walked around to the stone on which was a girl with sapphire blue hair tied by a centipede. The boy seemed to do something.

I kept approaching him secretly. More and more, I heard the voice of the woman singing. Is that his voice?

He was standing on a rock that looked very slippery.

♪Sea animals woke up slowly, welcoming the arrival of sunshine♪

The boy danced like a ballerina, very pretty.

♪Aaah, the beauty of this world. The light of the sun came upon me, like a goddess♪

Just as he said, the light of the sun shone on his face. I can now clearly see his face.

Her face was full of bruises, but it was undeniable that she was very beautiful, like a goddess.

♪Morning sun humming, illuminating this world. Replaces a night full of stars♪

The waterfall splashed fiercely following the swing of the child.

♪Songs at the end of the night made me feel like I was setting♪

The splashes of water refract the sunlight, making the rainbow appear suddenly.

♪Painting time.... Decorate day... With chanting.... Sun humming mornin♪

The song ended along with a splash of water that slowly began to calm down. I'm amazed. Who exactly is that kid? Is he one of the water race? But why is he here? Is he lost?

The boy looked pensive for a moment and cried in silence. I don't know why I'm worried about him. My body moves on its own to stroke its head.

The boy looked. I can now clearly see his eyes. It was sapphire blue, just like her hair. "...Whose brother?" ask the boy in his small voice.

"Ah, I'm just a guest here. And accidentally seeing you sing" I replied honestly. I had no intention of lying.

The boy was silent for a moment and then nodded. He buried his head into his bent leg.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly sad?" my many.

"Hiks... That's... It's a song that I always sing.. I don't remember anything when I was in Mom's womb, but.. Hix.. I can tell that the song was always sung by my mother... Hicks." The kid's a whim. I can't bear to. I took the boy down from the rock and hugged him. He immediately cried.

"Hiks... L'm... I want to feel how it feels to be loved by a mother... Hix... I want to know... Hiks.

Ah... This brat... Not having a mother...

L'm... Feeling ashamed of myself.

I have a mother, even if I don't care at all. I should be grateful, not blaming my mother...

I hugged the boy tightly. "Cups.. Cup... Never mind.. It's okay.." I whispered. I calmed the boy as much as I could. And soon he stopped crying.

"Whose sister's name?" ask the boy with his innocent face.

"My name is Louise Citrine, Little Sister" I replied with a gentle smile. This was the first time I smiled at someone else. "Whose name are you, and how old are you?" ask again.

"...L'm.... My name's... Casilda.. I'm 6 years old." he said.

Wait, Casilda?!

So, she's the one Mom was looking for?!

"Huh? Your name is Cas—"

"Louise Citrine! It turns out you're here! Mother is looking for you everywhere! You bad boy!"

Suddenly she was behind me and pulled my ear.

Uk... Be ill..

"You know for yourself, I'm very busy. And you're wasting your time here! Really naughty!"

"Mom-Mom... Untie..." I thrashed.

"Not apologise for trying to get off! Who's your son, anyway? Could it be that you are here, if anything happens how to try?!" Mom's getting upset, dope..

SRETT

"Eh?" Suddenly my hand was pulled by Casilda.

The boy hid my body behind his small back.

"Ja... Don't be mad at Louise! Brother's here because of me! I'm the one who made Louise come here! Madam should just be mad at me!" squealed Casilda without fear.

Whoa... This brat... Defend me... Cool!!!

Mom saw the waves. "N-boy.."

"After all, even though Madam is very busy, you should spend some time with Brother Louise. Child development is greatly influenced by both parents. If Louise doesn't get enough affection, she won't be happy!"

"In addition, the Madam should not pull Kak Louise's ear like that! It will affect his mental state when he grows up! Brother Louise will always be traumatized and severe again, she will treat her descendants like that!"

"And also, it's not Louise's fault if she tries to run away from you. If you always address it as 'Naughty Child', indirectly the subconscious will do the same thing as a bad boy in general..."

"So, the conclusion is, you mustn't let Brother Louise just like that! Madam should take your time for him! Because...".Casilda held onto her clothes tightly.

"... Because it's... Ought to.. You are grateful to be able to see Louise growing up." added Casilda again in a soft voice.

I'm pensive, and so is Mom. Actually was... How can a child of this size understand mental health? How can?

And these... For the first time.... I was defended by someone else. It felt... Very happy, I am moved...

Mother widened her eyes and then looked at Casilda with a gentle gaze. "... You're right, son." he said.

Mom looked at me and hugged me tightly. "Louise... I'm sorry, yes, son... Hix... I'm really mean to you... Hix... Forgive Mommy..."

I can't say anything. Mom is crying, I have to calm her down! "It's okay, Mother... L'm.. Hicks .. L'm.... Huh-HUWAAAA!!!" Unknowingly I was crying.

I could see that Mom was calming me down, but it didn't work.

Then, I saw Casilda looking at me and—

Hug

—Live hugged me.

I was shocked by his actions.

Casilda calmed me down. My back was patted by him to calm me down.

I don't know why my tears stopped and I became calmer. Mom looked relieved. But... Why, yes, when I was with Casilda, did my heart become calmer? But, we just met.

I'm..... Feeling the warmth in his arms. Casilda, she..... Sincerest.... I'm really very touched.

Thank you, Casilda....

You are my light, for now and forever..

TBC.
