Virat: Abandoned by Destiny

Narrator

"Not every victory..."

"Is celebrated with cheers."

"Sometimes..."

"The greatest victories..."

"Are celebrated with laughter."

Two days had passed since the terrifying ambush on the moonlit road.

The wounds had healed.

The fear had slowly faded.

And once again...

The White family found themselves surrounded by the peaceful atmosphere of the Holy Kingdom.

T was back to her usual self.

Running through the streets.

Smiling.

Laughing.

As if she wanted to prove to everyone...

That nothing could steal her happiness.

V, however...

Had changed slightly.

He still smiled.

He still joked with T.

But sometimes...

His eyes became quiet.

The memory of that night remained inside his heart.

The moment when he thought he might lose his little sister.

The helpless feeling.

The fear.

He would never forget it.

Brald noticed.

Of course...

A father always notices the things his children try to hide.

But he didn't say anything.

Because sometimes...

A person needs time to heal.

That morning...

The gates of the Holy Kingdom Adventurers' Guild slowly opened.

The huge building was filled with voices.

Adventurers discussed quests.

Merchants negotiated prices.

Warriors proudly displayed their achievements.

The atmosphere was lively.

Inside the Guild Hall...

A receptionist organized documents behind the counter.

Suddenly...

The main doors opened.

Everyone looked toward the entrance.

THUD!

A tied-up bandit fell onto the floor.

The entire hall became silent.

Then—

THUD!

Another one fell.

Then another.

THUD!

THUD!

THUD!

More than ten unconscious bandits were placed in front of everyone.

The adventurers stared.

Confusion.

Shock.

Disbelief.

A man holding a drink slowly lowered his cup.

"...Wait."

"Are those..."

"The Black Fang Bandits?"

Another adventurer stood up.

"No way."

"They have been attacking travelers for months!"

"I heard even experienced adventurers failed to capture them!"

The entire Guild Hall began whispering.

At the center of everyone's attention...

Brald stood calmly.

Behind him...

V and T watched everything with curiosity.

The receptionist quickly walked forward.

Her eyes moved from the captured bandits...

To Brald.

Then back to the bandits.

"..."

"Please..."

"Tell me what happened."

Brald calmly explained.

The attack.

The battle.

The attempt to kidnap his children.

And finally...

The moment they defeated the bandits.

When he finished...

The Guild Master slowly walked down the stairs.

An older man with sharp eyes.

He looked at the unconscious criminals.

Then at Brald.

"You captured all of them alive?"

Brald nodded.

"Yes."

The Guild Master smiled.

"Then you have done the kingdom a great service."

The receptionist quickly disappeared into another room.

A few moments later...

She returned carrying a heavy leather bag.

She placed it on the counter.

CLINK.

CLINK.

The sound of gold coins filled the hall.

Everyone looked at the bag.

Even V's eyes widened slightly.

The receptionist smiled.

"Your official reward..."

"100 Gold Coins."

Silence.

For a moment...

Nobody spoke.

Then—

T's eyes became brighter than the treasure itself.

"Ehhhh?!"

"So many gold coins?!"

She immediately moved closer.

Trying to see inside the bag.

V looked at the mountain of coins.

"Father..."

"That's..."

"A lot."

Brald smiled.

"One Gold Coin can support an ordinary family for an entire month."

T immediately raised her fingers.

"One..."

"Two..."

"Three..."

She continued counting.

But after a while...

Her expression became serious.

Her tiny eyebrows lowered.

She looked at V.

"Brother..."

"My brain stopped working."

V tried not to laugh.

"So..."

"That means..."

"We can eat without working for..."

"One hundred months?"

Brald laughed.

"Yes."

"If T stops buying sweets every week."

T immediately froze.

"Ehhhh?!"

"That's unfair!"

The entire Guild Hall burst into laughter.

"Sometimes..."

"The most valuable treasure..."

"Is not something kept inside a chest."

"It is the smile..."

"Of the people standing beside you."

The Guild Hall was still filled with laughter.

The serious atmosphere that had existed moments ago...

Had completely disappeared.

Even the adventurers who had once feared the Black Fang Bandits...

Were now watching the White family with amused smiles.

T continued staring at the bag of gold coins.

Her eyes sparkled.

She slowly reached toward it.

"From today..."

"I will protect this treasure."

V raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

"You will protect it?"

T nodded proudly.

"Yes!"

"I am now the guardian of these 100 Gold Coins!"

Brald crossed his arms.

"And what will you do if someone tries to steal them?"

T immediately pulled out her tiny wooden sword.

Her expression became serious.

"I will fight!"

Everyone became silent.

T raised her sword.

Then confidently declared—

"First..."

"I will run away!"

A moment of silence.

Then she pointed toward V.

"And then..."

"I will call Brother!"

The Guild Hall exploded with laughter.

V covered his face.

"T..."

"You skipped the fighting part."

T tilted her head.

"But Brother is stronger."

She said it so naturally...

That nobody could argue.

Brald looked at his children.

A gentle smile appeared on his face.

For him...

That simple trust was worth more than any gold.

The Guild Master walked closer.

He looked at V and T.

Then smiled.

"You two are interesting children."

V politely bowed.

"Thank you."

The Guild Master looked at the captured bandits.

"These criminals have caused trouble for many travelers."

"Because of your family..."

"Many people will be able to travel safely again."

Brald nodded.

"We only did what was necessary."

The Guild Master smiled.

"That answer..."

"Is exactly why you deserve this reward."

Later...

The family left the Adventurers' Guild.

The streets of the Holy Kingdom were bright and peaceful.

T was still holding the bag tightly.

She walked carefully.

Slowly.

Like a tiny treasure guard.

V looked at her.

"Are you really not tired?"

T shook her head.

"No."

"This is an important mission."

V smiled.

"What mission?"

T looked extremely serious.

"Protecting the gold."

V laughed.

"You know..."

"The gold might be safer inside Father's storage."

T immediately hugged the bag.

"No!"

"I must protect it!"

Brald sighed.

"She became attached to the money too quickly."

V smiled.

"But..."

"She's happy."

Brald looked at his children.

Then nodded.

"Yes."

"That's what matters."

That evening...

The White family returned to their hotel.

The reward was safely stored away.

The city lights shone outside the window.

T sat beside V.

She looked at him quietly.

"Brother."

"Hm?"

"That day..."

"When I was hurt..."

V became silent.

T smiled gently.

"You protected me."

V lowered his eyes.

"I..."

"I couldn't protect you completely."

T shook her head.

"No."

"You did."

She held his hand.

"If Brother wasn't there..."

"I would have been much more scared."

V looked at his little sister.

Then smiled.

Brald watched them from nearby.

He said nothing.

Because some feelings...

Did not need words.

The Narrator

"Gold can buy comfort."

"But..."

"The laughter shared with family..."

"The trust between hearts..."

"And the memories created together..."

"Are treasures that no amount of gold can ever purchase."

That night...

The White family slept peacefully.

Tomorrow...

Was another important day.

The day T would stand before the Legendary Holy Book.

The day her destiny would finally be revealed.
