80 Golden Knight Alice Lomanie Perspective
(Day 47-49)
Three days ago, one of the Nobles that controls Orange Town made a big ruckus. He seems to be worried about his son, who he willingly sent to the dangerous Grand Forest, a place which has been recently reported to be infested with incredibly strong monsters.
What a fool.
Holding on the hope for his son to be alive, the fat old man began to pay several Adventurer Groups to accompany him and secure the rescue of his child.
Since I left my family, I've been needing money more so often, sotis I don't even have the money to pay rent or have more than one plate of food. I've been seriously considering selling my armor and expensive equipnt.
Although the probability of the noble's son being alive is close to cero, making this whole thing completely pointless, he will pay beforehand and no less than one hundred thousand gold coins, enough money to pay rent and three plates of food for the rest of the year.
That's good enough, I suppose.
Because I was one of the strongest Adventurers, the Noble put on a small group made up of two Veterans and two talented newbies.
They were fine people, although I'm not so good at talking with several people at the sa ti. And their personalities are rather overwhelming to , so I decided to lead the caravan on my loyal Golden Bird, avoiding pointless talking.
I'm shy?
I'm not shy! I'm just… Never mind, I talk too much with myself, perhaps this is why it's so hard to deal with such overwhelming and imposing people.
Each one is like a brilliant sun; their light overwhelms mine and makes feel frustrated and desperate.
Asocial? I'm not asocial. Am I? I co from a Noble's House, I was always served like a princess by everyone, this is why I never developed my social interaction skills to a…"Normal" extent.
I guess the only thing I'm valuable for is my strength.
My father and brothers always saw that. My strength is the only thing valuable from , nothing else.
The Blessing of a God certainly doesn't feel like one.
It feels like a curse.
Everyone always expects you to be incredibly talented, have amazing charisma and the personality of a "True Hero".
When they realize my true self, they feel disappointed, and instead of trying to help get better, they distance themselves from .
I hate them.
I hate my father and my brothers, what a bunch of idiotic fools.
I prefer to be devoured by a monster or die from hunger on the streets than going back to my house.
As we went through the highway, the Noble's had us stop several tis, saying that he was getting dizzy or tired…
Because of this, a journey that would take less than one day ended up taking three days.
Sigh…
On the first night, the Veterans invited to eat with them. As I declined, they looked at with faces full of pity.
Instead, of coming to my aid or even asking why I am like this, they remain silent until I went away.
Eating alone is not bad, I've been doing this for years now.
However, a small Cleric Girl approached . She was very cute and talked a lot with , for so reason.
She didn't fear my lack of communication and even understood when I just nodded.
Her personality wasn't overwhelming either, she was gentle and calm while being talkative enough to entertain .
Her na was… Anastacia.
On the second day, she asked my na. And after knowing who I was, she didn't run away.
She comprehended my story and saw that I was being very brave for doing what I did.
She said that I was strong because I did sothing that many others wouldn't dare to do.
Anastacia is a precious girl; I think I've finally made a friend.
My first friend, I've never had friends before, just other Noble girls pretending to be, just to create connections with my family.
This is my first ti experiencing what is "friendship".
Anastacia told that she ca from an orphanage, becoming an adventurer thanks to her inborn Skill nad [Healing Touch], which let her heal others without the need to use MP, only by touching their wounds with her fingers.
On the third day, Anastacia told about her dreams and what she wanted to do.
She asked if she could join my Adventurer Party, but I told her that I didn't had any party.
She was rather surprised, because of my strength, she wrongly assud that I had a party sowhere.
However, instead of looking at with the sa weird looks that most people give , she looked with sparkling eyes full of expectation.
She asked to make an Adventurer Party with her. She was very excited about it, saying that we would be able to recruit more people in the future, and possibly beco the strongest Party on Orange Town.
Her cute and innocent face filled with expectations made look forward to it.
I accepted, and so, we made our bows to beco an Adventurer Party after this is over.
As the sun of the third day fell down the horizon, we finally reached the Grand Forest.
The Adventurers decided to make a feast and celebrate.
Several bards began to chant and dance, while others prepared delicious food for everyone to eat. There was also a very high-quality beer. It was a nice night, and Anastacia accompanied for the most part.
She was looking especially cute today, I couldn't resist the urges to caress her head, and so I did.
She looked at with a small blush on her face and began to get closer to .
I think she was rather drunk because without even asking , she grabbed my helt and revealed my face to her.
She was rather surprised by my face and praised my beauty greatly.
It was… Embarrassing…
She said that she had never seen such a beautiful lady, and on her drunkenness, she gave a small kiss on my lips.
This was my first kiss, and with a woman, no less.
I told her that I needed to think about a relationship for now, and she understood with the cute smile that she always gave to .
Although her kiss felt very good, her lips were soft and fluffy, and Anastacia sll resembles the fragrance of roses.
In the end, she told that she couldn't handle being drunk any more and went to sleep on her caravan.
I'm looking forward to the future, I wouldn't really mind spending the rest of my life with her.
She is really… Sothing else.
While I drank beer while looking at the moon, I fantasized about being with Anastacia.
However, so commotion appeared in the middle of the party.
At first, I thought it was just so random discussion between drunkards, but as the commotions continued, the yells of pain and despair began to fill the entire atmosphere.
What is going on?
Blood?
Why there are so many monsters? Ogres and Monkeys!
As I saw countless people being ripped to shreds, I had to do everything on my disposition to save them, I called the rest of the Veterans and we began fighting back against the monsters.
A big and muscular red ogre picked a fight with and I accepted.
He was incredibly strong, how is this even possible?
As I kept fighting, I was almost killed several tis, I even felt as if the ogre was holding back for so reason.
Why are you doing this? Aren't you a monster? If you want to kill , do it then!
However, the tables for the rest of the adventurers quickly began to change in our favor, due to the assistance of the Veteran Mage and the Talented Mage Boy.
However, it didn't last long.
Suddenly, a devastating teor rain showered our caravan, completely setting everything on fire.
So many people died… The piles of burned flesh, the horrible and disgusting sll…
While I desperately fought for my life, I saw as my other comrades were shredded, even the brave veterans and the muscular woman, those people with such incredible smiles and overwhelming auras were being ripped to pieces.
I began to get desperate, seeing everyone die so horribly.
Where is Anastacia?
Eh?
Ugh…
The red ogre punched on the face, I felt as I lost several of my teeth and even my skull was damaged.
The bastard shattered such an expensive helt in one single punch.
Seeing my face, the red ogre paused for a mont.
What is he looking at? Will he stop if I am a woman?
He didn't.
The red ogre resud his attack and kept pushing aside, with a strong kick, the threw several ters away.
Most of my ribs were shattered, and my arms were broken.
I was going to die for sure now.
Eh? Why is Anastacia here?
What are you doing here? Run!
She is healing ?
I felt as my ribs quickly were put back together, and my arms revitalized completely.
Anastacia told that she trusted , that I needed to fight…
But…
Before she could even finish her sentence, I saw as Anastacia was completely sliced in half.
It was so fast; I couldn't stop it.
Anastacia…
Her entire body was sliced in half, and perfectly cauterized by the flas of the axe…
She died horribly, with her eyes open.
Anastacia…
Don't leave …
It was way too soon…
Why do I feel so sad? I just t her three days ago.
But…
I couldn't stop my tears and my cries. I yelled her na while closing her eyes. And caressed her soft hair.
Anastacia…
As if things couldn't get any worse, a different monster showed up.
It was nothing I've ever seen.
It was a fairy, but with the size of a human, her wings were deep red, and her appearance was youthful and beautiful, resembling an imposing goddess of the abyss.
She had an incredible pair of horns, sothing that no fairy would ever have on their head.
She was different. Sothing completely different.
When I was fighting her, sothing inside of my soul awakened, giving new strength.
My lance was engulfed in powerful lightings, which let do things I've never been able to do before.
However, to this monster, it was nothing.
Any of my attacks only left small wounds on her flesh, that would instantly regenerate.
Just what is she?
In the end, my MP and Stamina completely ran out as I was too exhausted to continue.
Just kill .
There isn't anything left on this world for .
She quickly finished off with a strong hit on my neck.
Aah…
Hm?
Is this the afterlife?
Everything is so dark, I can't see or hear anything, I can't feel anything either.，
Just my mind…
Ah!
Why?
I'm back on my body?
Eh?
Why is this monster looking at so intensively, didn't she kill ?
She explained to that she converted into her Vampire Slave.
What?!
Just kill already!
What is this cruel fate?!
She would have left to die!
I want to die!
She ignored my yelling and made do as she said.
Sothing deep on my heart made feel aroused every ti I saw her.
It feels so weird, and disgusting.
I've only felt this with Anastacia…
In the end, I did everything she told without hesitation.
I even carried the bodies of my deceased comrades and even Anastacia's corpse.
Strangely enough, I didn't feel anything…
It as if I never knew this person, but I hold the mories with them…
Was I really in love with Anastacia?
I can't even imagine such a thing now.
I only love my Master…
Yes, she is the only one on my heart.
Master…
