New Alexandria was in uproar . A picture of Kailen and company sitting at the back of Everfrost had been posted on social media after all. People wanted to see the father of the federation after all.
The influential people in the city managed to trace his current location, to recieve him and honor him.
However Kailen informed them that he was here on a personal business, dismissing them.
The cemetery was devoid of people, completely silent .
The winds blew through the grasses,causing the grasses dance wildly .
The group of four were currently standing in front of a large memorial building.
The group entered the building , staring at the pictures of Kailen’s parents.
No, Kailen was not the one who built the memorial building for his parents.
He had thought of it, however the federation higher ups had decided to do it before he even thought of executing it. He didn’t even tell them about it,but they went ahead and did it on his behalf.
They said it wasn’t appropriate for the parents of the father of the federation to have such mundane burial grounds.
Of course Kailen knew they just wanted to get into his good books ,or to be more precise, curry his favor.
Anyway ,that was all by the way. Currently, Kailen’s friends stared at the young man with concerned expressions.
Kailen just stared at the pictures of his parents with a melancholic expression in his eyes.
He heaved a large sigh tinged with melancholy as he spoke " I’m the federation president now. Quite dramatic for a seventeen year old don’t you think ?"
He remained silent for a few seconds. His friends stared at him with emotional eyes silently, giving him the space to talk to the lifeless pictures of his parents.
" I was able to vent on those diabolic beasts ,at least that’s how I see it.
Also the one responsible for your deaths should have probably received a lot of beatings from you in the afterlife by now" Kailen paused , squatted and touched and stared at the memorial pictures directly. Varying memories with them from the past flashed through his eyes .
He looked on the ground softly , caught in his thoughts, reminiscing on the past memories with his parents,then layered further
" I miss you guys, and my little sister too. I know I never got to meet her, but I miss her too. Honestly ,I have to admit that I’ll forever miss you guys. Although I’m doing much better than I was in the past when I first lost you, I’ll still miss you. Anyway I came here with a couple of friends . It’s thanks to them that I realised that people like you guys still existed and that I should give friendships a chance. I gotta say that I have not regretted meeting them" Kailen turned to look at his friends, who were currently standing by his side, their hands on his shoulder as they comforted him and smiled.
They were really touched by his words. They knew Kailen valued them,but to think he’d honestly talk about them this way in front of his parents’ memorial stone.
A warm feeling shrouded their hearts.
Arrie knelt and performed a traditional bow before the memorial stones.
" Mother, Father. I will take good care of Kai. Don’t worry, you can both rest in peace. He’s in safe hands "
Kailen did not know how to react to Arrie’s words. Her words were sincere .
One could feel the weight of sincere emotion behind her words. Also, the reverence and respect in her voice for Kailen’s parents as she spoke was felt by everyone.
They said that when a woman made her mind about a man she deeply wanted to spend the rest of her life with, she didn’t back down on her decision and would stick with him through to the end . Women could be extremely stubborn and committed when they were in love.
Arrie was the embodiment of such a kind of woman.
The young lady’s actions had not just touched Kailen,but Charles and Micheal too.
The duo followed in her footsteps and bowed
Kailen smiled as he stared at the trio " These guys..."
He was really touched.
He didn’t need some detective Gimmicks skill to know their sincerity .
The trio stood up from the memorial stone after bowing for a while.
Kailen however continued to speak " I’m finally gonna travel the universe. I know you wouldn’t want me to kill that bastard of an uncle because revenge might not be what you want me to pursue. However I cannot sit back and do nothing when the person responsible for causing you so much pain is freely enjoying his life. Permit me to be an unfilial son just this once"
Kailen added as he held Arrie’s hands with a warm expression" Also we are engaged .It’s a shame you are not around to give us your blessings but Arrie is the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me"
Arrie blushed at Kailen’s words .
" Whooo" Charles whistled supsciously, as he cleared his throat .
Everyone chuckled at his behavior.
Micheal stared at Arrie with ominous thoughts as the young lady was blushing from ear to ear at Kailen’s words ,Charles’ teasing and everyone’s laughter .
’ Finally, I can get back at her for her bullying ’
" Do you need some ice Arrie?. Because your face looks quite red. Did you roast it in some fire for some reason, little sister?"Micheal asked, feigning concern and utmost seriousness in his voice.
"pfffft...hahaahahah" Kailen was the first person to start laughing.
Arrie knocked Kailen on the head as her cheeks turned redder.
She ignored Kailen’s scream then ran after Micheal out of the memorial building,the gentleman’s laughter constantly echoing throughout their playful banter .
Charles and Kailen stared at each other and shook their heads at their antiques, paid their final respects to Kailen’s parents and left the memorial room.
Micheal had multiple bumps on his face with some exaggerated bruises as he lay down on the ground .
Arrie was currently standing before the defeated gentleman as she was panting heavily with a bubbly expression on her face.
She cracked her knuckles and stared at Kailen and Charles with a bubbly demeanor.
" Anyone else wanna laugh at me ?"
" Absolutely not,senorita "
