Chapter 37 - 35 : Past ( 3 )
That evening, two young boys sitting in a dim room with only candles as their source of light. Next to them, mountains of books were placed. The writing in the books seems familiar yet the word they learn sounds different from their language.
Shin closes his book for a moment and rubbed his tired eyes, " Nii-chan, is it really alright for us to not recite the clan’s rule? "
A sigh came and Shun take another book, " Do you really think that old man will care whether we would recite them or not?
Shin, " Then...Why did he punish us to go here? "
Shun look at his inexperience young brother and gave a haughty smirk, " What else? There’s only one thing that he wants from us. "
Shin who still doesn’t understand continues to ask, " One thing? "
Shun, " ’ Fearless’. Our family motto is ’ One have to be fearless no matter what even at the time of your death. ’ -If we are still scared of darkness, then...we can’t be the head of the family, right?
Shin nods understanding the meaning behind his grandfather’s behavior. But, because Shun mention "darkness" now both of them starts to remember the horror stories from the servant of the house and also that frightening nightmare of darkness they had when they were younger.
