Quest: book 3 Page 3

  The door of the bridal chamber was opened from inside, Feshert pushed me to go in.

  "Am I taking the wrong room or..." I didn't get it to asked, because I saw several people in the room, my father and mother, my two brothers, my three brides, and even the red nose grandpa, they all sat around the big round table in the room.

  "You are in the right place," Feshert answered me and then said to my father, "I have already brought the suspect here!"

  "Please sit down, Your highness." my father looked very serious, he pointed to the two remaining seats, "Kone, you sit down here too."

  Feeling the not so relaxed atmosphere, I sat down well-behaved, I wondered very much why these outsiders were there. Tonight is not my wedding night? I took a look at the three brides, I hope that I could get some hints from their faces, but they all lowered their heads without exception.

  "Kone, after the ceremony today, you are no longer a child." my father said to me first, "you must have assumed the obligations and responsibilities for your family and relatives."

  "Yes," I replied, but why talk about this with me now? To do it tomorrow is not the same?

  "That's good. It seems that you understand." my father kept the talking, "I have some questions, I hope that you can answer me honestly."

  "Ah?" I don't get it more so, what? It's a meeting again?

  "I believe that all of us have noticed," my father looked around at everyone in the room, "since the last time that Kone got injured in the Saint Capital, he changed a lot, rude behavior, irritable temper, cunning character... The ideas he had are even more strange than he had as a child, and all the thinking ways that we can't understand. Of course, this gave us a lot of helps. But , sometimes Kone changed to make me even can't recognize him, this makes me very surprised. At first I thought that this is caused by the change of the environment, but after my investigation and observation, the reason that makes Kone change is not caused by this. Anyone has something can't understand about Kone?"

  My heart had a quick jump, it seemed like that I was going to have a sleepless night.

  "Yes," the first one to provide information for the "Torture Congress" is Feline, "when Kone got injured and on the way back to the Dark Moon city, he used a very strange way to save a dragon. Afterwards I read all the books that I could find, but I couldn't find any record about this method."

  "I'm interested in Kone's knife," the second one is Kelly, "I asked him several times, he refused to tell. I also went to check the books with my sister, the result is that there's no such weapon like this appeared from ancient to now. Also addition to the magic, Kone has a very special kind of fighting skill."

  I bowed my head speechless, it seemed that all my past were uncovered...

  "I say my brother," Feshert also came to join in for the fun, "where your these brilliant ideas come from?"

  "It‘s none of your business?" I don't dare to do anything to my family, but I can scold at Feshert, "shut up!"

  "Oh!" Feshert was very generous not to talk again, he had the expression of that I even shut up you still have to explain honestly on his face. I had a such anger in my heart...

  "Alright..." my father stopped my still want to "list the facts" brothers, "Kone, are you not going to explain anything to us?"

  "Sure I can have the explanation!" all the time, I carried the memory of my former life all by myself, maybe it's a good time and good thing to tell them all with this opportunity, "but you'd better to clean up your mind before you listen to me."

  "Why?" my eldest asked.

  "Because you may not stand to accept it." I looked everyone at the face, everyone had the confused expression. There are more tender feelings in my wives' eyes.

  "It doesn't matter." the red nose grandpa said, "you can go ahead!"

  "Yes, Kone." my mother's tone was full of worries, "they are all your closest relatives sitting in here. No matter what problem, we will find a way to solve it."

  "Then alright, since you insist." sat straight up my body, packed my smile, then I started the long narration...

  "Now in my body and soul, there's only a half Kone." I said, "or it can be said like this, Kone Cada is just a part of my whole body and soul..."

  It's like a stone thrown into the water surface, my eldest brother took hold of the sword hilt, "you! What did you do to my brother?"

  Besides Feshert and my father, all the people stood up. The guys with weapons on were at the sword's point, the rest began to chant the magic... Especially my three turn-face-pale wives, it seemed like that they wanted to tear me apart.

  "Wait," my father raised his hand, "let him go on."

  "It seems like that everyone has some misunderstandings," seeing the situation like that, I was very surprised, "then let me tell from another guy."

  "Who wants you to tell about another person?" Kelly broke into tears shouting at me, "give my Kone back to me!"

  "Let him finish." Feline held on her sister's shoulders and comforted her softly. Seriously, I appreciated her calm very much.

  "Sister... He ate Kone..." Kelly's words made me in distress situation...

  "Let him finish... Maybe things are not as bad as what you thought." Wensly spoke to Kelly.

  "Behind this area of the starry sky, in the place extremely far away," I opened the window, looked at the dark blue night sky and said, "there is a planet, or you can say... A continent. On there, there are many human beings, they almost same as us human beings here. There's one of them, his name is Jackie..."

  I began to tell my former life, from the fuzzy childhood memories, the elementary school, the middle school, the army... To being ambushed. It's really a strange feeling, the alive and kicking people standing here to tell about his own death to others. The slightly deep voice packed with my anger, and the light homesickness, it had completely attracted all the people. When I talked to the death, all the females in attendance could not help covering their mouths to cry out loud in exclamation.

  "Down there," I had a smile and kept on talking, "he met a strange life..."

  How I came to this world, how I woke up... I spoke out all of that without any reservations, I felt very relaxed in my heart. I took a sip of water and looked at the stunned audiences, I was waiting for them to digest all of that slowly.

  "You finished? But you have to wait for a minute..." my father said, "let me think about it."

  "That will be alright." to accept the fact like this is really a bit difficult.

  After thinking for a while, they changed the strategy, everyone began to ask me all various things before I got injured. Even the thing like stealing apple in my childhood were spoken out, under these people's fatigue bombing, I was almost getting collapse...

  "In your five years old that year," it's my mother's turn to ask, "what did you do at the birthday that day?"

  "Cheated others."

  "Who did you cheat?"

  "Mama you."

  "Why?"

  "Because I stole and ate the baby fish which papa kept." I took a look at my father, he spent a lot of money to buy it.

  "How did you say to me?"

  "Hmm..."

  "What? Can't you say it out loud?"

  "......"

  "Say it, it's been so many years."

  "......"

  "Just say according to the exact words at that time, not a word is allowed to be wrong, the tone is exactly the same too!"

  I stood up helplessly, I went to the outside and closed the door...

  "Mama! Something big happened!" a moment later, I rushed into the room with a panic face, I yelled, "Papa's fish is drowned dead!"

  The people in the room almost all fell down to the ground, but my mother held around me tightly, she choked with sobs, "it really is Kone, you really are my son..."

  I breathed a sigh of relief, my mother finally admitted me.

  Finally, when it's almost in the dawn, the experienced great sorrows and great joys family and friend just thought of that it was my wedding nig
ht, they no longer asked me the fresh things about that another world and left, there were only the three wives left with me in the room.

  "It's almost dawn..." I was going to shut the door very unsatisfied. Just only this little time left, what should I do with my three wives...

  "Wait a minute," Kelly put her hand on the door, "what are you doing?"

  "Shut the door," I said, "go to sleep."

  "It's time to go to sleep," there the strange light appeared in Kelly's eyes again, "but did you notice that, you seem to stand in the wrong place now."

  "Have not." I said, "where I supposed to stand in?"

  Kelly's finger stroke out a loop in front of herself, and then stopped in a direction.

  "Outside of the door?" I got my anger up, "I'm your husband!"

  "But we are married to the Kone." Feline spoke aside.

  "I am Kone!"

  "Say it exactly," Feline laughed, "You're just a half Kone."

  "Right!" Kelly had her hands akimbo, "have we agreed to marry your another half?"

  "You! I..." I was reckoned, I had myself dumbfounded, I looked at Wensly with the eyes for help.

  "Wensly would not help you neither!" Kelly found my attempt, she took a step forward to take hold Wensly's hands and said, "wouldn't you? Wensly?"

  "I..." Wensly looked at me with apology.

  "Go out, go out!" A man, will not die without a woman. I walked out of the door, I turned back and spoke to Kelly, "don't you fall into my hands one day..."

  "Walk slowly!" Somebody waved at me and said, "don't catch cold while sleeping at the night..."
