I Won't Apologize
Chapter 1. Her Weakness.
SY 481.
I looked around my room that I rented in Marid. While my eyes were exploring the room, my mind was far from there and pondering about what should I do next.
I tried to focus, but an image of a masked girl appeared and vanished so suddenly. I frowned, it was clear to me that this whole thing made me hesitate, even her image managed to distract me.
I sighed. I did not have another choice, did I?
Not since what had happened that day. Even until now, it was hard for me to keep myself from losing my sanity.

SY 480.
I entered my mansion and went straight to my room. But, when I opened the door to my room, I found someone already there.
"How are you doing, Albert?"
I stared at the sitting figure. "Yuber, what are you doing here?"
The figure with black cloak and hood motioned to me to sit at the chair in front of him. I obeyed him and sit.
"It had been 3 years, isn't it?" Yuber stated.
"It's 5 years, and, what are you doing here," I demanded.
Yuber grinned at me. "It was so boring lately. So, I was wondering, would you help me to start a war?"
I was startled but I kept my composure. "My apologize Yuber, but, I am not interested."
"That's really a pity." Yuber stood up and walked to the door.
He stopped in front of the door and turned to face me. He gave me a wicked smile.
"By the way, I never thought you will be in Zelant, I was looking for you in Toran. Well, I got to see your son, he looks so much like you." Yuber stated.
I stared at him, he gave me another wicked smile, and I understand what it meant.
"What do you want me to do?" I stated.
Yuber smiled with satisfaction. "Well, as much as I hate to admit it, I can't do it alone. I need help from our old comrade."
I raised my eyebrows. "You mean her. You sure, she's still alive."
"I am sure. I want you to find her, and her weakness, in case she refuses just like you." Yuber stated.
"All right, I will inform you after I get the information."
"Good." Yuber grinned.
Yuber opened the door and left. I stared at the door. I still could not believe what just happened.
{G~S~III}
I sat on the chair at my room and drank tea to calm my nerve. For million times I glanced towards the door as if I expect the door will get destroyed somehow.
I gulped the tea and glanced at the door again, repeating my action for the past 1 hour, only this time the door burst open and a figure stood in front of me.
I drank the remaining tea up and put down the empty glass on the table in front of me. I looked up to regard my visitor.
"So Albert, where is she?" The figure demanded.
"I don't know," I replied calmly.
"What! I asked you to find her!"
"Relax Yuber, I said that I don't know where she is, but I can name some places where she could be right now" I explained.
Yuber scoffed. "Tch, you got me there, I thought you lost your touch."
"And, I got the other thing you asked me to find." I continued.
Yuber looked curious. "What is it?"
I showed him what I found and he was eyeing it with curiosity.
"What is it about? It's just a picture of some people that I don't really care." Yuber said.
"Yes, you don't care about them but you know them, don't you," I said.
Yuber raised his eyebrows and looked at me to find the meaning of my words and I gave him.
"Those are her parents," I stated.
Yuber eyes widened and stared at the picture intensely.
He laughed sinisterly. "Oh, I got it, those two, ha ha ha. I can't believe it, who would have thought."
"No one would have guessed, not even them," I stated.
Yuber looked at me for an explanation.
"Her parents don't know anything, they think she is dead," I said.
Yuber laughed sinisterly. "This has become more exciting than I thought."
"All right, the most possible place she could be is Grassland, Zexen or Dunan. Since she hates Harmonia and most likely will avoid Toran if she wants to remain unknown from her parents. Well, I suggest you search Grassland first." I told him.
"Oh, that's it." Yuber commented.
"And I will be in Marid if you need me," I added.
Yuber raised his eyebrows. "Why's in Marid?"
"Aren't your goal to attack Harmonia out of boredom. So, I would say, Marid is the most convenient and safe place to hide."
"Oh, fine then, I will meet you again after I found her."
Yuber then left along with his signature laughter. I sighed and picked up a newspaper that had been lying at the table and opened a page with a hole on it.
I looked at the article's title.
I muttered softly. "I won't apologize, Amiyah."
{G~S~III}
The door was opened so suddenly that almost made me jump, but I restrained myself and kept myself calm for I know who the person who just entered my room was.
"So, you found her?" I started without looking at my visitor.
"Yes, just as you said, she is in Grassland."
"So, how is she?"
"Same as always, oh and, from what I saw, she is rather close with that brother of yours."
I raised my eyebrows at that. I turned around to face my visitor.
"What are you trying to imply, Yuber?"
Yuber gave me a sinister laugh. "Well, nothing you don't know, Albert."
I sighed. "Fine, did everything go according to plan?"
Yuber smirked. "Of course, I did just what you told me to do."
I scoffed. "Don't make it sound like I forced you when it was the other way around."
Yuber smirked. "Sure thing."
"Well, after you meet her at Iksay bring her here, and then we can start the attack."
Yuber seemed so satisfied with my plan that he exploded with laughter and left me alone with my thought once again.
I sighed. I have to get used to it.
{G~S~III}
I was in my room when Yuber entered it abruptly.
"So, how we should start this war?" Yuber grinned at me.
"Do you have any preference?" I asked.
"As long as there is chaos then it's fine."
"Then, first you should spread a rumour that the masked magician will attack Harmonia for revenge."
"Oh, I get it. They will panic." Yuber laughed maniacally. "I will do it right away."
Then I left to my peace once again.
{G~S~III}
SY 481.
It had been a week, the masked magician was supposed to meet Yuber in Iksay today. I was still in Marid and waiting for them. I had no doubt the masked magician will come.
And they did come 2 days later. Yuber entered my room and announced that she was here. I knew she would not want to see me. She should have already concluded that I was the one who found out about her family.
So, I was a bit surprised to see her entered my room with a calm expression. I raised my eyebrows and looked questioningly at Yuber. He only grinned at me.
"If you're wondering why I am not attacking you right now, it's because that freak of nature seals my feeling." She answered monotonously.
"Why did you let him seal your feeling?" I was seriously curious because she could not be this compliant.
"I don't have a choice in this war. So, why not seal my feeling to make it easy for myself." She said.
I seriously doubt her reason. That could not be the reason. She would not be giving up this easily. She must have a plan.
"So tell me, are you two really going to start a war with Harmonia?" She asked.
"Mainly it was Yuber who want that, but yes, we do," I said.
"That's crazy." She remarked. "But then again, you're crazy." She said to Yuber.
Yuber only laughed maniacally.
The next day, we were having a meeting. I was sitting beside Yuber and across from me was her.
"First, we will attack Caleria," I said.
"So, our first target will be Caleria, can I ask why?" She asked.
"Caleria is the headquarters of mercenaries in Harmonia, if we destroy it, we can minimize mercenary activity that might get in the way of the plan," I explained.
"All right, I got it, I will do the destroying part, while Yuber does the killing part, since that what he like so much." She stated.
"Oh, thank you, my dear, to give me such honour." Yuber stated.
"You're welcome." She said with sarcasm. "Well, can you do me a favour in return?"
"What is it?" Yuber asked.
"Don't come out until my signal."
"Fine by me."
I raised my eyebrows at their interaction. It was strange to see them talking like an old friend instead of killing each other. I guessed this was why Yuber sealed her feeling. I might be dead otherwise.
I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please be kind to me and review it. Thank you for reading my fan fiction.
