"The Party Winter Memory"

Even in this immense space, my path has not stopped since then, I have traveled many paths and met many people and creatures, between these two people, the words that Mother Start and Aster told me have not stopped in my head, "So young and kind-hearted, even do, you don't enjoy your surroundings by focusing on one thing" Mother Start said, "You don't even know where you'll be standing by focusing too much on just thinking something bad is going to happen instead of enjoying what it really is to exist "Say Astra, did I really take advantage of my life? there is a memory came to my mind

It was a snowy month, a season where the monsters were weak, but also the kingdom due to cold climates, the harvests took longer and the kingdom was a bit cold, even though everyone could live in relative peace, I just couldn't stop feeling that I couldn't let my guard down

I was inside the castle looking out the window in case a surprise monster would attack, there was a party, it was armed, there were too many pacas there, and music, the musicians gave everything with the music, violins, trumpets, people did not stop talking and the food was plentiful

Grug, a warrior from another kingdom, had come as a guest, he was the most unruly of the party and also the most gluttonous, he seemed too carefree, he even stuck his whole head in the punch

and Wamfle, she was one of the castle cooks, she made a lot of the snacks, she kindly gave me a cup of hot chocolate which I thanked her for

many pacas were there, other knights, both from my kingdom and others, cooks, and the people, all happy

but I just kept looking out the window, sometimes drinking my hot chocolate, waiting if something bad happened, I was there to protect them, but nothing happened

How different would things have been if I hadn't been so focused on my gentleman roll? Have I really wasted my life?

I kept thinking about that memory, trying to remember more of it, I remembered that apart from giving me the chocolate juice Wamfle tried to motivate me to go to the party, and that I didn't worry a bit, she admired the noble heart she had but she was also worried that sometimes I left everything else aside, sometimes even food

my answer was just for her not to worry, that she would be fine, I still remember that she left with a little sad face

On the other hand, I was still Looking the windon, I don't remember much of the rest, I know that there has been a screams of happiness, and that someone broke the table

I only remember that time passed and the night little by little came along with the snow calming down, the pacas outside took down their tents and put them away, they kept the other animals in their pens and the other pacas went home to sleep

without realizing it, the party had ended, it was complete chaos, there were many things on the floor, and lots of empty plates, luckily the assistants were already in charge of cleaning everything, it really was one of these that took me out of my gentleman bubble to tell me that everything is over and that it was fine, since I did not blink and I stared at the window, thanks to them I reacted and apologized and told her that I was fine, luckily a bit relaxed they continued with their cleaning in a calm way

I simply walked around the castle and gave a small patrol outside the castle, in case something else happened, nothing yet, so when I finished my patrol I returned to my room inside the kingdom

Damn, when was the last time I went to my room? everything was in order, the clothes in order, the bed in order, and the armor and weapons in order, I still felt empty and just took off the armor and went to sleep

I think that in the end, they were right, I simply started to wait for something that in the end nothing happened, I hope that, when I return to life, I know how to enjoy life and the people around me
