Lux of Agatha Chapter 12

In the banquet hall of the GMC mansion, Xiaoxiao was delivering the congratulatory address. Drinking the toast, all the gladiators in the hall put down their glasses. Xiaoxiao continued.

"In fact I suggested the toast in the name of the leader of GMC, but there is a biggest contributor who lead the GMC. I'll introduce you Caligo, who is in charge of general affairs of GMC."

Xiaoxiao stepped aside, while gesturing at Caligo who is sitting on his own seat. Caligo put down the glass on the table and he approached forward. As he stood up, there was a hum of voices in the hall. Because Caligo was a mere civilian, he wasn't known to the gladiators. Before speaking, Caligo looked around the hall. He didn't know lots of gladiators, but he knew some of them. Some gladiators in the hall were initially pessimistic about the establishment of GMC. But by the persuasion of Xiaoxiao and other top sticks, they soon accepted it and began to support them.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Caligo, the charger of general affairs of GMC."

As he finishes his short greet, he gave a formal nod to the audience.

"Xiaoxiao said I'm the biggest contributor of GMC, but without their help, Xiaoxiao, Alfa, Andre and other gladiators, the committee may not exist. Also, you gladiators, who accepted it and supported us, are the real contributor of GMC. Thank you so much. Tonight, we prepared lots of desserts and wines, so please enjoy the party."

Finishing his speech, he gave a nod to the audience again and the gladiators were applauding for him. After the clapping sound subsided, the party began. Caligo turned around to go back to his seat, but Andre and Alfa stood in front of him. At the moment Caligo thought if he missed something, but it wasn't. Andre spreaded his arms wide and embraced him. He offered words of encouragement to Caligo. And next, Caligo turned around to see Alfa. Alfa was standing behind them, and he looked hesitated. Few seconds later, Alfa opened his mouth to say something, but Caligo was fast.

"I know you still feel quilty about my family, Alfa."

"…I've thought I should. I… Eventually, it's me who make you lose your-"

"And for that reason, I haven't talked with you a lot until now. It felt like… you wanted to avoid me."

"…"

There was a pause between them. Caligo stared at Alfa, and Alfa was just looking at the floor. There was a grief in the gladiator's eyes.

"I forgive you."

At the sudden voice of Caligo, Alfa raised his gaze from the floor and looked at Caligo. The red stickman's eyes were drowned in tears, but he didn't cry.

"I kept thinking of them for a year. Agatha was my wife I loved, Gaon was my son I loved. But all of a sudden gladiators that I haven't known took them from my life. I couldn't believe it. Agatha died in front of my eyes, and I couldn't even find my son's corpse. So I resented you."

"…"

"But I can forgive you now. I know what you have done to establish this committee, I felt the truth."

Caligo was first to embrace each other. He patted him gently on the back, and Alfa, who hesitated at first, hugged him back. After that, Caligo said thanks to Bonum, Rol, and other top sticks.

Behind them, Jomm was watching them silently.

Alfa went to the bar on the side of the party room and ordered a glass of wine. After receiving his ordered drink from the bartender, he turned around to take part in the group of gladiators. And he found Jomm walking toward to him.

"Alfa."

"Ah, Jomm. Are you having fun with other gladiators?"

"Yes, er… but not that excited because Hyun didn't come."

"Um. Hyun…? I think I haven't seen him since he was a kid. How has he been? At least I heard that he won't become a gladiator like us."

"He did… but now he is willing to be."

"Is that true?"

Alfa asked Jomm. He personally knew Hyun's father, who was one of the greatest gladiators, so Alfa had met Hyun several times when Hyun was a kid. At first Alfa thought Hyun would become gladiator like his father. But he also heard that his mother objected it because the life of gladiator is dangerous, so Hyun gave up the path of gladiator.

"By the way."

"?"

"I didn't mean it, but I have a load on my mind."

"What do you mean?"

"I heard what you and Caligo were talking about."

"…?!"

Jomm looked around and began talking. His voice became lower.

"What does it mean, he can't find his son's corpse?"

"Ah, that… I'm not sure if I can talk about this, because it's privacy. Why?"

"Er… Do you remember I said I had battle at the mountain today? That…"

At the same time

This cave, located in the middle of the snowcapped mountain, was full of experimental equipments and some surgery instruments as usual. There was a huge lab table in the middle of the room, and a red stickman was lying on the table. A severely penetrated wound can be seen in his abdomen. And next to him, Atrox was standing and looking down at the boy. Wrench(Gaon) was unconscious at the moment due to lots of bleeding, but Atrox said to Wrench.

"I'll never let you die.

Fight to your heart's content.

Father is always watching.

And this time

You won't disobey."
