CHAPTER 2 : THE NOBLE

Past time...

Outlook III is a respectful, proud and rich noble. He is in high status above all noble make him a reason to be respect by other noble. Unfortunately, not all people like his altitude. For him money can solve everything. Corruption always linger around every noble who is only care about their status and money. The rich people become richer and the poor become more poorer. That the reality at Raftel City.

The owner of the most prestigious and luxurious hotel at Raftel City didn't earn respect from his only son, Sabo. Sabo despise the noble system that his father have use in daily life. Corruption, threatening and lies. Even some of the high up police in that area already been silence by his father with money.

Once Sabo ask why to his parent need to do that in public earning him a slap on the face by his mother, Didit. That the first time he see his father true faces. Not enough with it, the discrimination to other make him realize all this year that he learn from his father are not true.

"Why father?" Sabo asked.

"We are a true noble. They don't deserve in our world. We are more powerful than them." reply Outlook with proud.

"I rather be with them." Sabo said quitely but his father heard it. A slap on the face shocked Sabo out.

"Father...!?" He rub his cheek.

"Go to your room young man. I don't need you said all this rubbish. From now on your grounded. You are forbidden to go out from the room from now on. Guards, take him to his room and lock him. Don't let him out unless i said so!" Outlook give his stern look to Sabo. He then see the boy been escorts to his room and lock up.

From then Sabo try to escape from his 'cage' but always fail because he been caught by the guards who is on watch. His just sigh whenever he been caught up. A long silence as protest to his family when his father scold him about his action.

One day his father summond him to the study room. He saw his mother by his side and a young boy wore a shirt with frills going down the middle along with a bow-tie and suspenders. He had a round head with a thin, flat nose and a bowl-shaped haircut with a smile on his face. He seem to be two years younger that Sabo even though he is the same height as him. Sabo feel curious.

"Sabo, this is your brother Stelly." Outlook introduce his adopted son.

"Brother...?" Sabo feel lost.

"I seen that your rebellion against me clear that your not the best suitor to be my heir. So, I adopted him as one of my suitor." Outlook explained.

"I don't need your money." Sabo said. Outlook feel furious. He clenched his teeth.

"Seem that you still stubborn. Lock him up in his room. Make sure he been watch 24 hour. I don't need a son like him to tarnish my reputation. Until you learn your lesson and begging to return to the noble world, the bedroom is the only place you will been. Take him away." Outlook give his order to his guards. The guards ascort Sabo away.

The arrange married that Didit has arrange for Sabo end up him to dare making final decision about his life.

So then he ran and never looking back.

Now he's free.

Present time...

Sabo just came back from the forest to his new home which located at the biggest tree uphill on the cliff with a big holes under the tree spacious enough room for three children to sleep in. It's been three month already he live there.

The top hat and the jacket he use is clean became torn up and dirty. Clearly states that he already try to survive on his own.

He learn to survive by what he experienced and what have he read froom book. A long pipe he found from the trash at the market always by his side as a protection.

The dry grass he lay on the ground beneath the tree use as his bed. A blanket he buy from the downtown market is enough for warming him in the night. He make a fire pit to warm him up in the night and try to protect him from the animal in the forest that wandering at night.

The view from the cliff really remarkable. He can see the sea more and the scent of the sea really make him feel he regain his freedom.

"This is my freedom...!" he shouted and smile widely with one of his tooth missing.

Not that he know that decision that he make that day will change his life after this.
