Bela was taken aback for a moment after hearing those words as she had never told the other party about her identity as a healer.
This was her deepest secret, as healers were actively hunted across the world for their powers, and even the lowest-level healers were highly sought after by various organizations.
With her being the current strongest healer in the world, her identity was too conspicuous, and it was easy to attract people with ulterior motives with her amazing powers.
"Your Excellency, you know about my powers?"
Although Bela was many times stronger than Allen right now, she dared not act disrespectfully in front of the other party.
A being blessed with the favour of both the heavens and the world was an existence she could not pete with.
Moreover, she even had a lingering feeling that if she dared to do something wrong to the other party, she would quickly lose the favour of the ’world,’ and her future would definitely be bleak.
"The fairies are an interesting bunch; they chatter among themselves and make quite a motion around me all day long."
"I may have never met you before, but through my little informants, I certainly do know about the ’Greatest Healer of The World,’ Bela Anant, or should I refer to you as ’Astra, The Ultimate Weapon Against Miasmic Corruption’?"
Hearing Allen’s question, Bela smiled and replied in a calm voice,
"Your Excellency can use any name that he likes... But if I must say, I prefer being called ’Bela’, it’s a name my parents gave me, and I like it very much."
Even though Allen was merely just an ordinary child and not even awakened as of yet, Bela dared not show arrogance in front of him, for she knew that before the great heavenly will, she was nothing but an insignificant ant!
"Well, I do not like to appear too domineering either. You are giving me permission to use your name, so I shall do the same."
"From now on, stop using ’Your Excellency’; simply call me by my name, ’Allen,’ as I prefer it too, just like you."
Bela did not argue further and nodded her head to acknowledge Allen’s words.
"Well then. Let’s get to the main topic straight away."
"My mortal parents do not have the capacity to understand the purpose of my birth as they are ordinary people and I would prefer they remain the way they are..."
"Although I have been born in this world with a mission, they have no reason to suffer for it. For now, I shall spend time with them until I reach the age of 15 and play my part as a son."
Allen’s voice seemed to carry the weight of the ’Law’ of ’Luck and Destiny’ as if he were modifying and choosing his own future and destiny.
With each of his words, the destiny and future for him were being modified according to his desires.
"Although I can awaken at any moment I want, I was born in this mortal world and am bound to the strings of destiny just like anyone else."
"Forcefully breaking the strings of destiny or modifying them too much is not a wise choice; I will follow the normal course of destiny for this body and play my part as the son of Gaius and Lillian until the end."
"Once of age, my parents will finally be able to peacefully go to their next life and spend time together happily. With that, I will also be free of mortal shackles."
Gaius and Lillian were the two people who brought him to this world, and for that Allen was grateful, and to pay back this great debt, Allen had already saved their lives and changed their destinies.
Originally both Gaius and Lillian were supposed to die in that small wooden cabin due to the fire, but the birth of Allen changed their destiny.
Now they can live happily with their newborn son until their child grows up and reaches the age where he can be independent.
Once Allen reaches the age of 15 and officially awakens, his parents will die, freeing him from all mortal shackles, and he will be able to start walking on the ’Path’ to fulfilling the mission for which he was born in the first place!
Predetermining Gaius’s and Lillian’s deaths just to free themselves from the shackles of the mortal world was not cruel; it was a reward for them.
After their death, they would both be able to enter the cycle of samsara and be reborn in new forms again someday.
Their next life would be much more peaceful and happy.
Usually no creature in the universe can deceive the ’Law’ of ’Death’ and live while pletely ignoring their destined death.
Gaius and Lillian were supposed to die in the fire, but due to Allen’s birth, they got a new lease of 15 years of life so that they could spend time with their child and live a life that they would not regret.
Allen knew from the very beginning that he had a great mission and tremendous responsibilities on his shoulders.
He could not spend his entire life with his benevolent parents; it was better to let them pass on and live the next life in peace. It was not cruelty but an act of benevolence.
"Bela Anant, Blessed of the ’World,’ on behalf of the will of the heavens and the universe, I shall grant you a future that you desire."
"In the ing years, stay in this settlement and act as my teacher."
"Once the day of my true awakening es at the age of 15, I shall leave this place with you on a journey to make this world a better place."
"I have been born with the mission to save this world, and as someone who walks the same ’path,’ I shall grant you the destiny to walk beside me."
"Do you accept this arrangement, Blessed of the ’World’?"
Hearing those words from Allen’s mouth, Bela felt as if the very ’Laws’ of the ’Universe’ had suddenly redirected their gazes onto her.
They were gazing at her, assessing her as if trying to evaluate her worth; the pressure from those gazes was unbearable even for Bela.
"I accept! It is my greatest wish to make the world a better place! I promise I will not let you down!"
