We made our way towards the room that the physician was waiting for me. I started to notice that the maid, Alina, was giving some side glances from time to time. This made me a little nervous, I'm not entirely sure what she wants from me, but I hope she doesn't say a wor-----
"Young Master, everything will be okay. It will just be a regular check-up, so the worst has already passed."
The worst? Is there something that happened to me that specifically needs to be checked? My body certainly looked fine and I didn't notice any other features that indicated any harm was done to this body. Although, healing was always something to consider, yet what could possible have happened. I don't seem to have anything major happen to me.
Although, the maid seems to have confused my troubled look with one of discomfort, which in turn caused her to be more gloomy. We simply continued to walk in silence.
Once we arrived we were greeted by some elderly woman with grey tied into a bun, wearing a white coat, and some silver sunglasses. Almost stylish in my opinion, but alas maybe my sense of fashion was in the wrong here.
"Good afternoon Young Master Aless, please take a seat inside in the chair next to the weighing scale."
'Well, let's hope I'm okay' and with that thought I took my seat ignoring the concerned looks the maid and the doctor just exchanged. Taking a good look around there were a couple of tools that i remember being in the traditional room I used to get check-ups. So, technology isn't as far as I thought and it should be somewhere along the industrial era according to the novel. There is definitely a mix seeing as armor and swords were still used meaning there isn't much of a need for advancement in technology as there is for magic.
The room seems a bit more shabby and less sterile than the one in my world with less white as the prime use of the color palette. The doctor made her way towards my seat and grabbed a chair with wheels to sit in front of me. Cool love those chairs.
"Alright, this will be the last routine check-up if everything healed properly"
Does she mean to say that there was something to begin with?
"Young master, may you lift your shirt up for me please?"
'Ugh I'm used to this anyway' I proceeded to reveal my upper body, which prompted the doctor to take her stethoscope and place it near my chest.
"Can you take a couple breaths for me please?"
Taking deep breaths she began to place it near my liver, belly, and my heart. She then took her stethoscope out and gave me a signal that I could drop my shirt.
"It seems his internal organs have recovered and have healed to tip top shape. His scars have completely disappeared so no visible blemishes have been left behind. It seems like healing magic won't be needed anymore."
Hey Hey Hey Hey, wait a minute why did I need healing for my internal organs. Also, scars? I didn't know I was attacked? Who could harm this cute adorable kid. It wasn't hard to guess but it was probably that Sol Family guy, which I feel more happy he met his end that way.
the Maid responded back,
"Thank the gods, It was too painful looking at him with all the torture he went through due to those barbarians of a noble family!"
"Please, refrain from that language we are not to make careless comments."
"Ah yes... I apologize."
You shouldn't, I'm barely old enough to read and yet they did this to me. Well, not to me per se, but might as well now that I'm is here!
The doctor continued her examination by grabbing her tongue depressor.
"May you please go, Ahhhhh?"
'So I went Ahhhh'
"Hmmm, his tongue hasn't been reformed fully yet. He might need a couple months for his tongue to grow to its normal size."
Haha... reformed huh? Couldn't believe they cut off my tongue...
No wonder I've been having a lisp. I thought it was unusual seeing as I'm 4 fingers up, Its just that my tongue was cut off and was amidst growing a new one. Freaky that magic can regrow limbs although very slowly apparently. However, a couple months is a little inconvenient towards my aim to have a conversation without messing with every other word in my speech.
"It will be fine I can surely say within 6 months he will return to normal health and proportions."
She then resumed the other routine tests like getting my weight, height, and my blood pressure.
"Great, he seems healthy with no signs of deteriorating. I'm impressed Young Master Aless, you have been really strong no doubt you will be a force to be reckoned with."
That felt like a failed attempt to make a child feel better after all that, but at least she tried.
"His weight and height are at healthy levels for someone at 4 years of age and I'm expecting it to continue for the foreseeable future. All right that is all for today you may retire from here if you have no questions."
"Nothing else Dr. Fring, thanks for your hard work." with a courteous bow the Maid said her goodbyes to the doctor while I followed after her behind leaving the room out of our sight.
Well, that is some tough luck for a 4 year old, yet I'm thankful I wasn't there to live through it or else I'm not sure how much hatred I could hold for them. I could seriously see myself doing what Ezekiel did to the Head of the Sol family, but isn't that too vengeful. Was my original frustration about the death of my parents really from concern or was it just an excuse? Yet, I feel unaffected and filled with nothing but jumbled feelings.
To be clear I'm not really interested in the torture this body went through either, whether it was full of scars or missing limbs I would continue to find the answers that i desperately need. To be honest, I crave purpose and this world will reveal it to me even if it requires me to sacrifice everything. There is an empty void within that is sucking me from the inside tearing apart my mind. It's making nights hard to sleep in and I just want to fill it with anything I can. I'm in pain but it doesn't appeal to me to scream for help. It's scary how much I need strong emotions and this whole other dimension guy has thrown me on the deep end.
I just hope I can be happy... and if hatred really is the only feeling i can chase, then what am I destined to become?

Walking along with the Young Master had brought me earlier memories of a more chirpier moments when he could be seen enjoying his childhood. He was a really expressive child that seemed to hold the secret to happiness. Being with him brought me several moments that I have felt thankful being part of.
After all, being unable to have kids, Aless was a sun that you expect to rise every morning with hopes of a beautiful day. His bright future was held in high regard and it was rewarding being able to participate in that process. Lady Ariel was kind enough to bestow upon the responsibility as caretaker to me and lead Aless to an enriching childhood.
This was all wishful thinking and I should have known that since the beginning. There was nothing but vile worms controlling the Aristocracy leaving destruction on their path casting aside people from all statuses. I can only hope Aless will be able to become a ruler that could stop this from ocurring.
Maybe as a Maid I may be overstepping my boundaries, but I will do anything for Master Aless to hold a better reign than any buffoons currently in power. Even that damn royal council, may they fall and collapse under a castle on fire.
'I must stop this is just treacherous thinking at the moment and if anyone knew I will surely disappear'
I just wish Master Aless can recuperate from the wounds that have been afflicted into him. Wounds that can't be healed by any magic, but it seems that it has made some drastic changes towards him already. His lack of expressions has really made everyone concerned about his health and consider him to have lost any kindness within those eyes.
I'm not sure if i agree with them, but when I see Master Aless's eyes It is impossible to determine what his feelings might be.
'This is such a tragedy... Why had this happened to him?'
I couldn't stop the tears falling down my eyes, and with my legs failing to keep me standing I collapsed to the floor. So pathetic, I can't believe how incapable I am.
I noticed Master Aless came closer and I lifted my head to meet his eyes however..... There wasn't any emotion present in his face.
"whyyyy...."
How could they cut off his tongue?
He wasn't old enough to endure such torture and he should never had to, but they still cut his stomach open. His genuine heart almost pierced by steel, and as such it took away his emotions. They escaped through the dagger and spread through this cold disgusting world.
I promise you Master Aless, there won't be a next time. We will all be your body shields and repay the kindness that the Luna has offered my mother and me. You will never be alone!

Oh crap! Why is she crying so much?
Her sadness, I don't understand it. How much feelings can regular maid have with this kid's body anyway? I guess I'll just sit next to her, and well... I don't have anywhere else to go without her supervision.
It seems she took my hint to which she reacted with a small hug.
"Everything will be okay Master, I know you will make it so."
She then stood up and began directing her movements to their destination.
'What a weird thing to say to a child..'
