Chapter 8 - Good for nothing

"So, before we start. I know it have only been a day but have you regained any kind of memories?" Zale asked.

"Yes, but I was only able to remember my name." Eliezer replied.

"I don't want state that I don't trust you young master but, still can you tell me?" Zale asked politely.

" It's Eliezer Celest Estella, right?" Eliezer asked with uncertainty.

...

The butler stared at Eliezer with surprise. He quickly composed himself as he opened his mouth several times to say something but closed it afterwards.

"Is something wrong?" ' Did he gave me a wrong name?!' Eliezer asked.

"Well you are not wrong but... You usually chooses not to go by that name. You usually go by the name Eliezer Seraphel Estella given by the Duke." Zale answered.

"Okay ... So, you said Seraphel was the name given to me by my father so gave me the name Celest?" Eliezer asked.

"It was given to you by your late mother the former Duchess of the Estella duchy." Zale said.

Eliezer gave back a simple nod as he stared at the ground solemnly.

'Maybe I should have been a bit more sensitive while discussing the matters about the late Duchess. He is just a kid afterall. Oh it's such a burden. I now think they should have asked someone else for this afterall I am not the most favorable person to serve a kid who is mentally unstable and haven't even have had his coming of age ceremony. He should deserve someone who can think like a kind person a good person.I am too insensitive.' Zale thought as he looked at the kid.

' WHAT THE H*LL OG ELIEZER!! He gave me the name that his late mother gave him and he doesn't use it usually? Okay, I shouldn't argue with that, maybe it's to honour his mother but what the h*ck do you mean his mother is dead? No mother for me in this life too?! That's unfair.' Eliezer thought looking down unaware of the misunderstanding.

"Let's start your lesson, I am really sorry if I was quite insensitive answering the questions before. My apologies." Zale said trying his best to put as much regret as he can.

"It's quite alright afterall I don't remember her. Actually I don't remember anything else. So, please don't be sorry." Eliezer tried to comfort Zale after hearing the guilt in his voice.

"So, let's start with yourself. You are Eliezer Seraphel Estella the 4th son of the Duke of Estella Duchy His grace Gabriel Anore Estella and Late Duchess Margret Oriel Estella.

You have three other siblings, you being the youngest. The first young master Raphael Silus Estella(' Raphael Silus Estella? That name seems familiar' Eliezer thought),the first young lady Zeline Ida Estella, the second young master Anthony Kaida Estella and the third young master Eliezer Seraphel Estella.

About you now, you are currently 12 years old. And is a student in the prestigious academy of the omnisence, but due to an accident that took place last year at the academy you were in a coma till yesterday. If we talk about your health then I would like to apologise beforehand for being rude." Zale said.

"I won't mind " Eliezer replied.

As Zale cleared his throat he again begain," In strength, it is lesser than an average 10 year old because, you have a weak heart and you are sensitive to heat, you have a curse in your heart that freezes your heart bit by bit everytime, if you touch any living thing with your bare hands, then it will wither away after freezing to death. In terms of academics you are great in that as you excell in every lesson and test but that's not enough to keep you in the academy of course because it an academy including swordsmanship and magic along side with study. If you are wondering about your magical abilities then it a little bit better than your strength just a little cause the curse casted on your heart blocks your mana veins causing the flow of mana in your body extremely difficult and often causing you to faint, go into a coma, nose bleeds, coughing blood ,etc. There are more to teach you about yourself but let's first process this much information."

Eliezer blinked at the Zale who said all this in like 1 or 2 breaths, focusing on the fact that he is completely useless and would be the first one to die if something happened.

"So, about my health... What you are trying to say is that first of all I am cursed, second of all it affects me so badly that I am almost completely useless except for my studious brain and would probably cause me to die first in a bad situation?" Eliezer tried to summarise his defects.

"Correct, wonderful young master as sharp as ever." Zale said as he gave a the best smile he could.

"So, I am a good for nothing inshort?" Eliezer asked.

"Well that's what people says so... Correct."
