He was a child from a fallen kingdom, he was one of the parent-less children caused by the kingdoms and land getting conquered by the great empire of Obelian
His name was Theodore Zephyr
He was only a child even everything was taken away from him
He was only a child when he realize he couldn't protect everything important to him
He was only a child when he felt how cruel the world was to him
He hated the being above for letting him leave that way
But as if mocking him, the first one to held a hand for him was a priest, but he was in no position to refuse, for during those times if it ain't sickness that would kill him, it would be hunger
Accepting the hand of the follows of the being he loathed the most was the hardest thing for him to do, but he needed a place to stay, a good meal
Though it didn't took him too long why they did bring him in there
"That child is overflowing with aura"
"He could be the aide for the Saintess"
Once again everything was because of that Saintess
He doesn't really mind
He was just minding his own business
Years to come, his childish grudge about the Goddess did fade. He just realize maybe that's just how things goes on for person like him, meant to be used and lost the one who matter the most to them
During his training on becoming a holy knight he didn't manage to escape the discrimination from his fellow trainee holy knights messing around his things, letting him stuffs, beating him once in a while
He didn't do anything about it, he knew he was much stronger than them, after all
"Such a shame for you to be one of the candidates soon to be chosen to be appointed to serve her holiness"
"How could a low class like you stand right beside her holiness?"
In the end it was always about that person
He doesn't even know about her
He did hear about her once in awhile coming to the temple but he never really saw her, nor tried to saw her
"This suck"
He grit his teeth as he kick a random pebble on the ground
"Ah!"
The person a couple of feets ahead from him scream, startling him and the same time, knowing he way have been the reason why, he quickly apologize
"Oh no! It's fine, no need to apologize, it was my fault wandering alone"
it was a female with beautiful (eye color) iris and long (hair color) locks
For a moment, he was stun by her beauty, nevertheless he decided to apologize once again
"No, I insist to apologize, it was may fault of venting out my anger and accidentally hitting you in the process"
He blow once again
Then he heard a chuckle
"I admire your honestly sire"
the lady in what it seems to be in the same age as him, 18 smile
"My name is (First name)(Last name) sire, may I ask what's yours?"
"Theodore Zephyr"
He utter the name he haven't said in awhile
"Wow"
He could not help but to look slightly confused at the lady whom suddenly looks delighted
"You have very beautiful name"
the lady replied with a very lovely smile on her lips
"Do you know what it means?"
"...No"
He gulp
"Theodore mean God gift and Zephyr means gentle breeze"
You explain
"I love it"
You added with a chuckle
He swore he fell in love
but it took him awhile to accept that was in fact the Saintess
On his way back after safely returning the book of Saintess, Theodore couldn't help but to recall his first meeting with you. Just like that there was a small smile on his lips, he always wish for your happiness. He hated and felt twice the pain whenever he saw you sad or in pain, he just can't see you suffering, he just hoped he could do something about it.
Clang!
It was the metallic sound of his sword falling of the cold hard ground.
"What do you mean you don't know where she was!?"
"I told you I don't know! She was in a hurry and didn't even answer my question"
Lucas, the magician replied to him, on the back ground was his majesty the emperor and his daughter was still asleep
"Hush"
Suddenly Claude was awake, he was the only one who was currently awake
"Tsk"
Theodore teleported away before giving Claude a look, going in one place where he might find you before the emperor open his mouth
He knew you're up to something, but he hoped he could at least change your mind, even with the slightest chance of changing your mind.
And there he found you right in front of the World tree.
"Saintess-nim"
He called out
And you look back, eyes widening as if you didn't expect to see him so soon
"Theodore"
