"My name is Vermillion Sol, may I have the honor to know the name of my benefactor?" Vermillion Sol spoke in a manner that made people see her as a dignified person, you will immediately think that she was from a noble birth.
Adding to that her long jet black hair her straight posture that made her look tall even while she was seated made her aura even more awe-inspiring.
Seeing Mada didn't react to what she had just said made her quite upset as she felt quite offended from the way he treated her, it had to be known that although she had her face covered with a veil hiding her beautiful face from the world her body alone was alluring enough to entice any men.
So seeing the young man in front her not paying any attention to her made her feel strange, she had never met anyone ignoring her so she didn't know what to do.
But she wasn't able to complain hew she was being treated as he was the one who save her in the first place so no matter how he acted in front of her unless he didn't do anything untoward to her she was not able to say anything bad to him.
Silence crept in the room as no one spoke for a long time, Vermillion Sol couldn't take it anymore so she was about to speak up one more time but Mada beat her to it "I got it, sorry for not answering your question right away I was just thinking of some important matter please forgive. It also involves your future so I apologize."
Vermillion Sol gave an 'oh' and nodded her head instinctively the moment she heard that he was thinking of important matters regarding her future, she even felt warm inside her heart as she thought [What a gentleman, I was wrong to think badly of him. He was thinking of me so what can I do, he was the one who save me and even save my life when my energy was being rampant inside me.]
Vermillion Sol gave a look of appreciation to Mada behind her veil, smiling behind the veil she spoke once more "Do not worry about it, um I still do not know what to call you…"
"It's Mada, my name is Mada." Mada gave her a nonchalant introduction of his name.
"Oh so it was Mada, as I was saying it was not a problem on how you were acting, but may I know what exactly are you thinking? As you have said that it also concerned my future I would like to know what you have thought." Vermillion Sol ask Mada full of curiosity.
"It is simple, but I have to ask you some questions first and depending on what your answers are, I just might be able to help you."
"Alright, I will answer everything that you want to the best of my abilities." Vermillion Sol gave her assurance to Mada.
"Okay first question, can I call you Sol the vermillion part is a mouthful so I don't like it." Mada gave the first question.
Vermillion Sol was startled by the sudden question of Mada, she was not expecting it that it was just this kind of question she was anticipating a more elaborate matter will be asked to her in the first so she was caught off guard when the question of Mada made it to her ears.
Not knowing how to respond to Mada she just unconsciously nodded her head, Mada also nodded his head in approval as he went to the second question "Do you know how to earn money?"
After th second question appeared a thought appeared inside Sol [what is with these questions, I thought that it would be harder to answer.] Sol gave a nod once again.
"Do you have a problem regarding eating meat?"
Sol gave a nod
"Do you have any problem with men, I mean are you scared of them or something like that."
Sol shook her head
Mada gave Sol a bunch more questions just like this and it was already midnight when the questions were done but none of them touch the topic of who Sol was and what is happening around her.
After all the questioning that Mada gave Sol he began to sink in a deep contemplation about something. He looked like that the matter he was thinking was important making him looked like he was some kind of scholar thinking of an answer for a hard question.
Sol thought in her head as she looked at Mada [Why is he in deep thought, did the questions earlier have some kind of significance? Were there some kind of hidden meaning behind all of those things? Did I miss something?]
Sol's head started spinning the more thoughts flowed in her head making her think of various things. Like Mada hiding hidden questions behind those weird questions, so she started remembering what she was asked earlier as she tried to make something out of them.
Sadly she was not able to make out anything from all the questions that was being asked to her earlier [Just what is he thinking really tis young man, or rather Mada is not simple at all.]
Not being able to make head or tails to what made Mada sunk into deep contemplation Sol was left to sit there on the bed, she tried to circulate her energy inside her body checking if there were any problems with her body.
After checking for 10 minutes and confirming that there were truly no problems at all and that the energy that was being rampant earlier was now completely normal.
Just as she finished her checking Mada also opened his eyes as he looked into Sol "Let us begin the second part of the questions."
"There's a second part?"
"Of course there is the first one was just um, how do I say this… let's just say that the first se of questions were an assessment alright?? The second part of the questions are more serious." Mada explained himself to Sol ambiguous way.
Sol didn't other with the way Mada explained himself and was more concern by what he said regarding what the first set of question was [So it really did have some hidden contents in it.] Sol thought silently in her head.
"Please ask the questions that you want to ask me."
"Alright, I like that attitude of yours. If you answer the question like how you did earlier your future just might be save, hehe." Mada gave a light chuckle as he said words, by now he bhad kept the flower sculpture and the stiff face that he had earlier was now gone.
What replace his previous serious face, was a friendly smile. Seeing the change in the way mada was acting Sol found joy, she thought that Mada was finally loosening up to her so behind her veil she was also having a smile.
"Okay first question'." Mada pause for a bit making Sol think that the thing that he was going to ask her was really serious so she straighten her body even more losing any kind of slackening in her form that she may have making her posture look sharp as a blade.
Swallowing his saliva Mada continued "Okay first question, what is your thought about dragons?"
Silence pervaded the air as Sol didn't have any answer to what Mada had just said in her mind she was even doubting what he had just said [Wait does my ears have any problems? Or does my energy still running rampant?]
Not knowing if what she heard was right or if what she heard was false, Sol asked Mada "Sir Mada can you repeat the question I seem to still have some problems in my hearing cause by the energy in my body being chaotic earlier."
Mada nodded his head twice while crossing his arms "Understandable, okay here is the question once more. What do you think of Dragons? Or more accurately little dragons."
[Seems like my hearing is just fine.] Feeling relief Sol confirmed that what she heard was right, and as for the question that Mada had given her she answered with "I think that they are really powerful creature."
Mada nodded his head showing his approval of Sol's answer which made Sol even more confuse to what was going on. But before different kind of thoughts started top appear inside her head Mada was already about to start with his next question.
"Here is the next question this question would also be the last that I will asking you. Okay here is my last question can you take that veil off? Yes or No."
"What?"
"Can you take that veil off your face!? Yes or No.
Sol was startled by the sudden shout of Mada so she instinctively answered with "Yes!"
Hearing her answer Mada stood up as he declare with a loud voice "big bro she can join us."
Sol didn't know what he was talking about and who he was talking to but when he tried questioning him a voice that she didn't know rang in the room out of nowhere making her put her guard up s she jumped back into a corner circulating the energy inside her body and out of her body showing the pressure of an early stage Earthen realm.
"Hey easy little girl, I am not an enemy." Rayious suddenly showed in front of Mada.
Sol saw Rayious appearing out of nowhere and seeing that he was a Dragon she thought to herself [Where did this little Dragon come from? Wait didn't Mada said that he's his big brother? Wait now that I think about it the dragon was also there that day when I was save.]
Mada notice the reaction of Sol made so he immediately move to her side then he explained what was happening "Easy now Sol, he's my big brother… at least according to rock paper scissors. But enough of that he is my big bro you don't have to worry about him attacking you, he was also the one that save you from the man that was holding you."
Hearing what Mada had said Sol calm down a little bit then she spoke to him "What did you mean about joining you guys."
Mada looked at her and scratched his head "Didn't I told you that we were talking about your future?"
"Yes, but you didn't say anything else, nothing about me joining you guys." Sol explained her side, she was surprised on what was happening in fact this was the most time that she had been surprised and startled on one day.
"Aren't you being chase by people?" Rayious who was on the side ask a question all of a sudden.
Sol heard him so she gave a simple reply "Yes, so are you guys. When you save me that day you also offended them so aren't we all on the same boat?"
"Yes, but don't you think that if we hand you over and apologize to them they will forgive."
When Sol heard what Rayious said about handing her over her heart constricted but she put up a strong front and rebuked him with "Don't be naïve you killed one of theirs so…."
"So what if we killed them, considering how they spent all those effort of chasing after you, do you really think that they would mind that? Beside they were beaten by a young man way weaker than them they might even reward us for taking care of their trash, think about it." Rayious was now having a smirk that says more than it shows.
"So what does that have anything to do with you guys wanting me to join your group?" Sol, right at this moment knew that what Rayious had just said was right so she disregarded that and asked what Mada and Rayious thought.
Mada was the one who answered this time "Like you said we are at the same boat at one point and even though that you have it worse, but I still save you so you owe your life and the fact that I even treated you is also a thing so all in all you a lot.
"Besides I know that you are still weak don't have anywhere to go, don't have any confidante, and no companions so if you join me and my big brother in our mercenary team we can provide this things and even help you in the future IF you join.
"It's a win-win for the both of us, you need companions and I do to so join us. So what would it be Yes or No?"
