Chapter 4: Twisted and Fragile Bond(2)
[Ethan, what do you mean by 'crippling the Blitzfeld'?] Dante's mechanical voice rang inside my head again.
'You see, back on Earth, I was also abandoned by my parents and I hate them for it which is a normal reaction. No child in any world should be treated the way, I and Noah were treated.' I explained, the smile on my face was replaced with a serious expression.
'Back on Earth, I was not able to have that "Sweet Revenge" but now as Noah, I can have that.'
[But how? You do know that Duke Friedrich is a powerful figure in the Empire and also that he is a Grandmaster ranked mage?] Dante raised a question.
'Yes.'
I knew that... that I was currently powerless to do anything. I am now just the Blitzfeld family's pawn in order to strengthen their relationship with the Edelstein family. My father or Noah's father, Duke Friedrich Von Blitzfeld is a Grandmaster ranked mage and also a Grand Knight.
He is known as The Thundercrowned Mage for a reason. The events that gave him his title are still told as stories, he is a great hero. Yes, a hero but not for his children. To his children he is a cruel father, he only gives recognition to strength and nothing else.
You can say that he is strict but no he was beyond it and he won't hesitate to sacrifice anything for power. The reason Noah was still in the family was because of the engagement with Elisabeth Von Edelstein. Otherwise, I would be on the streets by now begging. Well, that would actually be better for my sanity.
How do I know this? Well, because it happens in the game, Noah is disowned after the protagonist "saves" Elisabeth from him. His engagement is broken off, and the Elisabeth route starts. From there he is just there in the protagonist's team until he dies.
On the day of Noah's death no one from his family came to mourn him nor did Elisabeth or any of the other Protagonist's party members. Except three people, His Aunt, Josephine Von Blitzfeld, his Eldest brother, Micheal Von Blitzfeld, and the protagonist himself, Raiden Von Emberhold.
Well, that is the reason, I have a soft spot for the protagonist. He values other people's lives and tries to forgive and befriend them if they deserve it. Noah was one such person that he changed by his influence. But, I am not the Noah from the game now am I?
