BXBX NOVEL Chapter 335 - Forgiveness
"I can\'t believe you did this to me," Connor whispered to his son, his eyes flashing his redness his long fangs revealed from his lips. "You knew how much I wanted to defeat John. You know how much I was working hard."
His voice rang so altered that even Elijah shivered from his tone of voice and his glower. A father shall be proud of his son for having done such a good gesture like forgiving and acting mature enough to prioritize peace over war.
But Connor wasn\'t like other fathers, he had always wanted Harry to be the most powerful and strong kid in every school he went to, in every group of friends he was part of. Every time he failed he was so sad and disappointed he even stopped to talk to his son for days.
Harry grew up being scared of failure and being obsessed over being the best he could be, until that day. He understood having the attitude his father taught him would eventually lead him to be a life taker or defeated by his pride and thirst for power person. And Harry didn\'t want to be either of the two versions.
"I know how hard you daily train to become the best version of a vampire you can be, the strongest you can be. But you\'re my father, I miss having a real father, not someone who spends more time training than talking to me. I miss the father who asked me how my day went and not if I was more powerful than my friends. I don\'t doubt your capabilities but I doubt myself when I am next to you. I don\'t want to feel like I am a disappointment for you if I skip a day of practice." Harry exploded in tears, his voice was so low that it almost broke.
Elijah walked near to Harry and smiled at him, "I am sorry you feel this way." He whispered, Connor\'s face turned sad. It was like the veil in front of his eyes suddenly fell and he saw things.
"If this is what you want. I accept to cancel the fight." Connor said after a brief silence and a deep sigh.
Connor stretched his hand and John shook it without hesitation, "we should be proud of our sons." John linked with Corron.
Connor widened his eyes but then he nodded silently, hinting at a smile.
Connor walked toward his son and stretched his hand, Harry was surprised by such a gesture. He took his father\'s hand, who smiled. "Let\'s come back home, we have to make up for the lost time."
Elijah and John stared at them walk away and only when they disappeared did John gaze at his son and spoke: "you asked Harry to convince his father to cancel the fight?" He asked.
Elijah shook his head, "no, he was the one who came to talk to me and begged me to help him. He also apologized for the awful things he told me."
John didn\'t expect to hear that, maybe Harry was a nicer kid than he thought.
"However, I am proud you forgave him, you are growing every day more mature than I thought and I couldn\'t be gladder to be your father." John kneeled and hugged his son.
When they came back home, John told Roselyn what had happened and Roselyn immediately hugged his son and told him how proud she was of him.
She was concerned about John and Connor fighting as well and she knew even if John won that would only be disadvantageous for her and Felicity since they would see the scene of John killing someone over and over.
***
Months passed by and it was finally time for Felicity and her first day of school.
Elijah didn\'t go to school, since he was a vampire he only attended private classes but when Roselyn asked Felicity if she wanted to go to school she said she did. She wanted to behave like a normal kid.
Roselyn woke her up at 7 am and she made pancakes for breakfast. The maids prepared some syrup and chocolate toppings.
Felicity wore a dress Kathy purposely sewed for her and then styled her hair in two braids.
"Don\'t forget to say bye to dad!" John screamed as she wore her school bag, she giggled and ran to kiss his dad on his cheek.
"Good luck." He whispered to her, Roselyn walked toward the door but as she passed by John, he caught her hand and made her turn around to steal her a kiss. "Don\'t you dare to forget to say bye to me either," John whispered frowning his forehead.
Roselyn chuckled and placed another kiss on his peachy lips.
She then said bye to Elijah and finally, they walked outside to step on the carriage.
In a few minutes they were back in the village, the school was full of parents and their kids. Their all main attention was on Roselyn, they didn\'t expect a royal kid to attend a normal elementary school.
Roselyn kneeled to stare at her daughter straightly then she kissed her one more time. "Have a good day." She whispered, Felicity was smiling at her mother but her gaze exposed all the nervousness she was in. She noticed everyone\'s gaze was on her and she didn\'t know if kids would treat her nicely or not.
The bell rang and after kissing her mother goodbye Felicity walked through the school\'s gate.
Roselyn remained there for about 10 minutes, wishing she could see through the wall of the school\'s building to see what her daughter was doing. She darted her gaze through the windows but her daughter never looked out of the window.
She finally walked back in the carriage and gave the order to take off to come back to Kratez.
"Was she happy? When will she get out?" John asked as soon as he saw Roselyn walk into their house.
Rose smiled, "she was happy.. I noticed people were staring at us so I hope they will treat her kindly."
