Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 28 I am a monster Aurora

This world is grey.

From the first time I opened my eyes after I was born, all I saw was a gray world.

The doctor who delivered me was gray, my mother's face with joy and pain was gray, my father who looked relieved was gray, and even the magnificent decorations and expensive ornaments were gray.

——"Why is it gray?"

I was crying at that time and couldn't think complicatedly, but this idea came to me instinctively.

Then, he accidentally looked down and saw his own palm.

is colored.

Then, the crying of the newborn stopped, and sincere joy arose from the heart.

I am colorful.

It turns out that this world is not all gray.

Really, that’s great…

That’s what I thought until I was five years old.

It didn’t matter even if the brothers who played with me were extremely stupid, would say those wooden dolls were dad and mom, would quarrel all day over a ball, and would cry for no reason.

Because they are my brothers, they are my “kind”.

It's just a little childish and stupid. Who doesn't have such a period?
until that day.

"Aurora, this is Garriel. He will be the one teaching you swordsmanship from now on."

The emperor, who did not have the indifferent look he has now, smiled and said to Aurora who was sitting on top of him, "He is the champion of the Youth Martial God Festival. He is very powerful, so you must learn from this teacher with an open mind."

The handsome young man had a knight's sword on his waist and was wearing the heavy armor of the Imperial Knight. Just standing there made the surrounding princes' eyes sparkle and they were extremely excited.

"My name is Gary Cesimone."

The young man smiled and performed a standard knight's salute, which caused admiration and cheers from those around him.
"Please pay more attention to it in the future..."

"Is Mr. Garil strong?"

Aurora tilted her head in confusion, staring at the grey knight in front of her who looked like nothing else.

The girl jumped down from the emperor's shoulder and looked up. The tiny knight was reflected in her eyes as bright as the starry sky.

She was very confused:

"Obviously, you are no different from those silly brothers."

Garil was not angry. He smiled and petitioned the emperor: "Your Majesty, can you allow me to show the charm of my swordsmanship and skills to the little princess?"

The emperor took the badly worn toy wooden sword from the eldest prince's hand and handed it to the dull-witted Aurora: "Aurora has always been unwilling to study and doesn't like to play around. It would be best if you could arouse her interest."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Garil nodded, unbuttoned his waist, and raised the scabbard and sword together.

"Little princess, if you beat me, you can have strawberry cake tonight."

He did his homework before coming and knew that Aurora's favorite cake was strawberry flavored cake.

The eldest prince was still crying and shouting, but was stopped by the third prince: "My holy sword, my holy sword!"

But Aurora took two steps back in fear, unwilling to take the wooden sword:

"not good."

The emperor smiled helplessly and looked at the knight - the knight took the wooden sword and squatted in front of the little girl who was frowning and shaking her head.

"Princess, why are you unwilling to pick up the sword?"

Aurora stared at the gentle knight for a long time. The memory of the swordsman who was the best in the East in her dream the night before emerged. After a while, she spoke in disappointment:
"That would be too lonely, and no one would want to play with me."

Gary was stunned. He didn't expect the five-year-old princess to say such a thing.

"No, I will be your teacher and accompany you." The knight held the wooden sword in front of Aurora with both hands and said expectantly.
"Please, take it."

Aurora still remembered the doctor's life experience in her dream last night, so she said, "You will die, Gary."

"No, I'm very strong."

The genius knight of the imperial capital wanted to hold back his laughter, but he still answered seriously.

The girl's fingertips touched the rough and fragile wooden handle, but before she tightened her grip, she still said hesitantly:
"Don't lie to me."

"I won't lie to you."

Aurora, for the first time, gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

At this moment, Garil inexplicably felt an extreme regret in his heart - he shouldn't have given the sword to Aurora. How could he hand over the weapon to such a terrifying monster? !
But the knight threw this illusion behind his mind the next moment. He was here to teach swordsmanship, so how could his students not hold a sword?
Garil turned and walked several steps, sword raised,

"Be careful, Your Highness."

But he was just surprised to see Aurora raise the sword skillfully, and then put it down after a moment.

Then he showed a disappointed expression.

The girl sighed in boredom.

"Why did you lie to me?"

Garil was about to reply, but found that for some reason he could no longer speak or make any sound. Only the frightened expressions of the princes around him remained in his mind.

The next moment, the world before his eyes split into two.

One half is black and the other half is also black.

That is the color of death.

In the courtyard, the champion knight was cut in half from top to bottom, along with his sword and heavy armor, and the glaring blood and internal organs fell to the ground in a mess.

There were screams and sounds of running, but more people looked at the girl holding the toy wooden sword with disgust and fear.

The spotless Aurora dropped the wooden sword and looked around at the people around her who had suddenly become completely different, feeling genuinely confused.

She took two steps forward, and her brothers, who had been playing happily with her, fled into the inner room in panic.

She turned her head and saw that the maid who had been serving her wholeheartedly collapsed to the ground in fear, and the ground gave off a familiar smell.

Aurora looked at the silent emperor and asked a naive question like a child:
"Dad, did I do something wrong?"

The emperor said nothing, just stared at her, but the doting and kindness he had in the past had disappeared, and what remained was only vigilance and solemnity.

Aurora was puzzled.

I clearly said I didn't want to pick up the sword.

I told the Knight he would die.

When the knight said he was very strong... I was happy for a moment.

So the one who was wrong was obviously the knight who deceived me.

Aurora regretted picking up the sword. When she saw her friends disappearing one by one, she felt more and more that the knight was wrong.

It was also on this day that Aurora, who was left alone, understood a truth.

——The gray world cannot accommodate colorful monsters.

No matter how well a monster disguises itself, no matter how weak it pretends to be, one day its twisted nature will be revealed, and it will be alone again.

But until that day comes...

Aurora in the carriage opened her mouth with a smile, ate the strawberry handed to her by the maid, and then acted coquettishly in her arms for a long time before she calmed down.

Please let me enjoy it a little longer.
