The escort lowered his head in sadness. He didn't want to be the one to break the fragile fantasy of his young master. He didn't have it in him to bring the young master back to reality and tell him of his father's demise.
Nelson's tears fell on continuously unknowingly and the rims of his eyes grew blood red, but he refused to accept his father's death deep inside his mind. The proof was right in front of him, but Nelson ignored it like all of it was an illusion that was meant to break his spirit.
Unable to find the source of his frustration, Nelson pinned everything on Zach. He believed that the source of his unease and the sudden burst of sadness that he was feeling was the dark mage. So, he cursed Zach to his heart's content. He had long since forgotten his father's last words. Even if he did as his father had told him to do, Zach would have still captured him back. Without his father's support, Nelson was nothing more than a bug that Zach could crush anytime he wanted to.
