"I really want to know how your brain waves work." Lucian said grudgingly as he held Aisha in his back. They suffered a few scratches from the fall but otherwise, they are okay.
But a certain "fragile" Young Lady is complaining how her "heavily injured" legs are aching in pain badly so he "unwillingly" carried her in his back.
Not like he is complaining, Lucian certainly enjoyed her soft, firm breasts pressed against his hard back but he can't make his happiness very obvious for Aisha might call him a pervert... again.
Is it his fault that she has a sinfully sexy, voluptuous body?
Okay, maybe, he is really a pervert.
Aisha heard him and purposely tighten her arms around his neck in attempt to choke him, however, she was completely oblivious that she pressed herself against his back harder.
Looks like someone was going to be punish for torturing Lucian like this.
"Are you implying I'm weird? My legs are really hurting right now." Indeed, Aisha's legs are damaged heavily from the explosion but it isn't a kind of pain that she can't handle.
Aisha was just feeling a bit lazy this moment. Also, she wants to pacify this big baby in advance because he might get jealous again when they find Freohr in this wilderness.
Lucian heard her words and huffed, "You're not complaining about it earlier." His words are full of malice and he turn his head slightly to look at Aisha and give her a teasing smirk.
"Shut up!" Aisha punched his head, and while she control her strength, her punch still sends Lucian a little giddy.
I can already see my future days as a battered husband, Lucian thought gravely but listening to the woman behind him whinning like a bratty child, Lucian didn't mind being beaten up from time to time. As long as she's with him, and she's the one who will beat him, Lucian don't care.
Because he will certainly punish her for "mistreating" her soon-to-be husband.
"Look," Aisha suddenly said as she pointed somewhere in the ground with a stain of blood in it. "The blood looks fresh, Freohr must be near somewhere."
"Good," Lucian said as he follows where the stain is leading. "The sky is getting darker, we need to find him soon."
Aisha looked up and observe the dark sky. "It looks like it will rain." She frowns. "Does this cliff have some wild animals?"
"Beats me." Lucian shrugged his shoulder. "None of the people who fell here got back, and no one dared to voluntarily go here. Well, except for you that is."
"Because I am courageous."
"Stupidly courageous." Lucian scoffed at her and fought back a wince when Aisha pulled his hair in response.
"You know you're really like him." Aisha murmured and rest her chin in his shoulder.
"Who?"
"Lucian," Aisha said. "My childhood friend."
"Hmm? Me?" Lucian smirked.
"Conceited bàstard," Aisha rolled her eyes at him. "No, you're far different than him! He's cold but shy, you're indifferent and bold, he doesn't know how to cook but you can, and he's cruel with his words while you have a sweet tongue. The only similarities you two have is that both of you have the same name and blue eyes."
"Don't you know the saying that time changes people?" Lucian raised his eyebrow at her.
"Hmph! So, you're saying you're him?"
"Never mind." Now it was Lucian's turn to roll his eyes, but then he smirked afterwards. Okay then, Lucian will let her think that he isn't the childhood friend she has. He will let her figured it out herself, and when that time comes, he will laugh merrily at her face.
But Lucian is concerned about one thing.
Did this woman's high IQ decreased that she can't even think of a possibility that he is the Lucian that she knows when she's still a child?
Forget it, the important thing is that his Ciana still remembers that short lived happy moments they had when they are still an innocent kids.
Back in Costas' group.
"That's it! Careful, get the medic here quickly!" Costas shouted as they gently lay Freohr inside the van. Several doctors quickly went to Freohr to cleanse his wounds and to stop the bleeding.
Although, Freohr didn't suffer any fatal injuries, he quickly move his body to avoid the last shot from one of the assassins earlier, but he was losing too much blood that his complexion turned pale and his breathing are shallow. It was a good thing when Costas' team went down, they aren't too far where Freohr had fainted.
"Get the men here! We'll go back to the Abyss' famiglia."
"Ah, but Young Lady..." Alfred trailed off, his gaze are locked in the cliff where Aisha and Lucian jumped.
"Tsk! That reckless brat will be alright! And besides, she's with lover boy so that brat will be ecstatic even when she's trapped there forever!"
Alfred: "..."
Back at Aisha and Lucian.
"Have you brought your phone?" Aisha asked Lucian.
"It has been crushed when we fell down."
Aisha groans, her hand went up to slap her forehead. "I forgot mine in your manor. Now, how will we contact them now?"
"Oh, I don't know, why don't we ask the reckless woman over here who acts before she thinks?" Lucian mocked.
"Quit it, I already know my mistake." Aisha rolled her eyes but stopped as droplets of rain starts pouring over them.
"Cràp!" Lucian cursed as he run to the nearest big tree.
