Brug !!
Robert and Fiola landed safely in the prairie area. A three-meter-wide crater was created where they landed, slightly burning due to the black aura that protected the two men when they fell. Without waiting for a long time, Robert immediately jumped onto the grass and came out of a one meter deep hole, then immediately dropped Princess Fiola who looked a little weak because of the unusual journey he had just passed.
Its mechanical legs made of wood and ceramic touch the grass smoothly. Her beautiful hair like silver thread fluttered in the wind, the white cloth that covered herself also fluttered blown and at a glance showed a part of her white and fragile skin which was full of scratched wounds.
For some reason, the fallen princess of the kingdom put on a very deep sad expression, her eyes filled with tears and seemed to hold back tears. His gaze continued to head north, where the royal capital of Armenia was located. Maybe for the future the city full of history will truly become a mere history later, but the history of the city's existence will be the most valuable thing for Fiola in the future. A city that has become a place of residence for more than sixteen years, a city where his family died, and is a place where he was born.
Aware of the sadness in the look on her face, Robert turned his head and looked at the grass that swayed in the wind. His eyes looked empty and seemed to not care about all that.
"Yes, no wonder he is sad. If I don't hear wrong from the commander girl ... her whole family was killed, right? And also, the country where she lives has been burned. If she wants to commit suicide, I don't think it's strange."
Robert again looked at the silvery-white-haired girl, then stroked his head from behind, like father's affection for his child. Feeling the warmth of Robert's hand, Fiola looked down and began to sob. Unable to hold back the sadness, the royal princess of Armenia shed tears in silence, her voice as if carried along with the wind in the meadow.
When recalling Fiola's fate, Robert felt a little that what he had suffered in his previous life was nothing compared to the petite girl. That's a fact, basically he was given the opportunity to be stronger, unlike Fiola at this time.
"Father ... Mother ... Sis ... What should I do ... what should I do now ...? What should I do now ...?"
The girl turned and immediately hugged Robert who was standing behind him. Robert was a little surprised, but for some reason the man did not object to it. Trying to understand the girl's sadness, the man hugged him back and wanted to make the princess calm. He began to cry out in Robert's arms, blowing up all the sadness he had been holding for this man.
"Sir ... what should I do ...? All that is valuable in my life ... everything has disappeared ... My father ... My mother ... My family ... everything ... everything has disappeared ... I have no reason to live in this world, even though you saved this life, but ... but ... "
The girl added to hug the man's body tightly and cried in his arms. Robert paused for a moment, the question Robert could not answer immediately. For now, the man does not have the same purpose in life as Fiola. Even though he had been given a second life, Robert had not at all thought about what and where his life would go. At that time he thought of something to atone for his sins in his previous life. He smiled wryly and hugged Fiola softly.
"Don't have anything else ...? What are you talking about, instead you still have the life to live. You know ... that's more than enough ..."
Robert stroked Fiola's head and gave him a very fake warm smile. The words that the man gave him were hypocrisy. Robert, the man basically did not appreciate a concept of life like life and death. After feeling pain and regret before dying, Robert only hoped that he would not make a mistake that made him regret at the end. He did not really consider what had been done in his previous life completely wrong.
"As long as you are still alive, that is enough to start a new thing ... Maybe this sounds arrogant or something, but ... life is always filled with beginning and end ... if something ends, it means there is a beginning to something ... "
Princess Fiola looked up and saw the face of the man who smiled sincerely in the girl's eyes. This time is not a lie, Robert really thinks so. But there was one thing that was different for him, in Robert's eyes the beginning and the end were two things not too different. For men it's the beginning, or the end is not something that is too important. What's important is how to live it.
"B-But ... me ...!"
"No need to rush." Robert hugged Fiola again. "Just go ahead ...," he continued in a soft voice that made Fiola feel calm. Hearing those words, Fiola somehow felt that he could trust the man who had saved him. His heart was broken, and sank into the warmth of Robert's arms. But Fiola was mistaken, it was not pure trust as he thought. The thing that was in the girl basically was because of one of the blessings that Robert had.
For a few minutes, they hugged each other until the girl was completely calm and stopped dripping from the eyes. When he felt good, Fiola let go of his arms and took three steps back, then looked at Robert with hope.
"Na-My name is Fiola Resterus ... if you can, can you tell me your name ...?"
When he saw the girl ask with a face with red eyes and still a little teary, something strange felt as if something had touched Robert's heart. The expression remembers him a little with his daughter, the look in his eyes and Fiola's self-imposed nature is very similar to Fiala. Whether it's just a game of fate, their almost identical name makes Robert see the figure of his son in the silvery-white haired girl in front of him.
"Similar, very similar ... that nature ... Even though his body is small, this girl is very strong, really. Maybe stronger than me."
Robert smiled a little, then answered his question in a light and friendly voice, "Hem, my name is William Robert ... greetings, Fiola."
As they exchanged smiles, strong winds blew hard towards them. Following the thatched grass that was flying in the wind, Robert looked up and saw the bright blue sky. That's when he realized the real serious problem.
"Eng, by the way ... where is this?" thought Robert.
"What's wrong, Mr. Robert?" Fiola asked.
"No ... it's just ... where is it?"
"Eh ?! The master jumped without knowing where to go?"
"Well ..." Robert looked away and felt a little guilty.
"Hem, if our direction is north there, then we are in the south ... Eng, seeing the jumping distance ... maybe this is the Urue Kingdom or the Sriana Republic ..."
Hearing these strange names, Robert began to look confused.
"What's wrong, Mr. Robert?" Fiola asked.
"No ... actually ..."
After that, Robert explained that he knew nothing about the world at all, and he knew nothing about everything that happened on the continent where they were. Fiola was hesitant, but when he saw the look on Robert's face that did not lie at all, in the end he had no choice but to believe.
"Really ...? Even though you were before ... bravely infiltrated and saved me ... Even to the point ..."
"To be honest it's just carried away," Robert answered quickly. The man's flat expression made Fiola confused, and he felt depressed about their fate in the future.
"How about this ...? The Vandal imperial warriors could soon come and arrest us ...!" Fiola said.
"Well, calm down ... it will be OK. When a situation like this, calm is the most important thing. But yes, first we should go to the nearest town or village to look for clothes, especially for you. As a man who is physically fit, it feels like letting you continue like that is rather painful. "
Hearing his words, Fiola looked at his own body. The silver-haired princess realized that she had not been wearing clothes, and her body was only covered by a piece of white cloth that could not even cover her skin fully. The girl's face flushed instantly, and she immediately squatted while trying to cover her body with a cloth.
"Sorry, I saw it," Robert said casually.
