Chapter 74: Leaving the Village?
The smile on her face caught my attention as I looked at her.
“Tell about it!” She exclaid loudly.
“The kiss was very good, soft lips and a sweet sll. However, I was forced to break free once I saw your face,” I said as I stared into her eyes.
“What does it have to do with ?” she innocently asked.
“That’s impossible, as the one I was kissing was you. If you are uncomfortable, how can I continue?” I replied shalessly.
As her mouth opened wide, she was speechless and turned her head away to avoid looking at .
Do you want to play with ? But then my ears caught the granny’s laugh.
Ah well, at least soone is happy.
Despite that, Alia wasn’t looking at ; she was acting more like a little girl. A short ti later, Diana returned, but Granny called her and she sat next to her.
Oh, I am so lonely in this world,” I moaned, but then Alia looked at seriously and said,
“I spoke with Granny and we’ve decided to let you go.”
The mont she said they would let go, I was speechless. What kind of joke is this? First, they made stay in this village, and now they are telling they will let go?
“Was it a joke?” I asked her seriously.
“Listen to first, and don’t jump to conclusions,” she said right away.
“When I first t you, I thought you would be the sole one, but then I t her and then Diana. I think there is a chance that any of you might be the one.”
“So?” I asked.
“You are still too weak to help us. To grow, you have to see the world. Anyhow, we have lived in this village for so long, a few more years will not make any difference”
“Will Diana also leave here?” I asked Alia.
She shook her head and replied, “No, she will be here. We will groom her. It surprised that Diana had so much potential. If grood properly, I do not doubt that she will beco soone great.”
My attention turned to Diana, who had just finished talking to Granny with a smile on her face.
Diana smiled as she looked at , and I smiled back in response. My smile turned to a wry grin as I looked at Alia, who waited patiently for my reply.
“What did you say to her?” I asked Alia.
“Diana is free to do whatever she wants – whether to go back or beco stronger. No one should force her.”
“We’ll talk to her,” Alia said.
After nodding, I asked.
“What if I don’t return?”
The look on her face changed for a fraction as she asserted, “I believe you will not betray m…granny, but even if you do, we will think that we made the wrong choice.”
“The reason we’re letting you go is that you will also know of other people who are trying to take advantage of us; you need to see both sides,” she said seriously.
I don’t understand what she’s trying to say. It appears, however, that she wants to go back and see what other people have been up to and to beco stronger.
Honestly, I don’t know how to proceed. It took a while to make up my mind.
“Ok, I will go,” I said to Alia.
“Good, I’ll talk with you after dinner”, she said after staring at for a while.
As I nodded, I smiled. Just yesterday, I began my life in a village, and today it ended. However, what she said is true. Being holed up in the village will not help . This world is still new to , so I will learn more about it and get a better perspective on it.
“So when do you want to leave?” I asked Alia after dinner.
“After the training is completed, you will be allowed to leave,” Alia said.
“Then what will happen if they suspect of eting you people?” I asked.
“Don’t worry about that, I’ll fix it,” Alia told before leaving. I noticed her fading figure before feeling soone grab my hands.
Turning around, I saw Diana holding my hands with a slight smile on her face.
“Did they ask you anything?” I asked her, looking at her beautiful place.
Her eyes started tearing up as she nodded at .
“Then what did you decide?” I asked her, eagerly awaiting her answer.
“I will stay here. This world is a jungle. If you are weak, no one will respect you. I want to beco stronger so that no one can take my life away from . I will always be here to help you with anything you need.”
Patting her cheek, I smiled softly and said, “Good for you for making this decision. I believe it will help you reach your potential.”
“Go to sleep now, we’ll et tomorrow,” I said to her as she nodded and kissed my cheek, and hurried away.
I rubbed my cheek where she kissed , but as I did, I saw Liam staring straight at with wide-open eyes.
Laughing, I said to him, “Sorry dude, you’ll need to look for another one,” then walked back to my place.
He is an innocent bystander, too naïve to plot anything against . He may try to woo her, but I know she will not be moved.
I was lying in bed when I heard a knock at the door. Who could be there?
Turning my head, I saw Alia opening the door.
Ah, she rarely waits at the door. I noticed she held sothing in her hand.
“What brings you here right now?” I asked as I stood up.
“Am I not welco?” she asked with a smirk.
“It isn’t like that. You ca at this ti, which is why I asked,” I replied quickly.
“Oh… OK, I prepared a parting gift for you.” She handed a bottle filled with red liquid.
“What is it?” I asked, carefully inspecting it.
“Blood of GOD”
