I was looking at the back of Raiya. It was three years ago "that horrible" incident happened with her. After that, in terms of strength, she never looked back. She is in the True Hero Realm. A step away to become a Legend. And she is only 16 and a half years old. She may be the youngest person outside of Western, Asgardian, Angelos, and Markwoods who has reached this stage.
Well, time heals all the wounds, that is what I believe. But if she want to make a move on me, I won't mind. Because it is her right. And it is not like she can kill me or anything. I let her make the deadly moves on me.
"Looks like we have to ready for the next round in just 30 minutes."
Lisa came to me and said that.
"I see. So, where is the venue?"
I asked her.
"It will be outside of the city jungle. That jungle is really huge and it is a perfect area for having a battle of the tag."
I nodded toward her.
Krus also returned from having snacks.
He was the quietest person around us in this team. He has good skills. As a peasant I mean.
By the way, if you wondering why there is no strong expert in this city, that because all of the strong people already joined the knight order or at least royal guard. The mission is directly shown on their own mission board depends on their type of expertise. They have an extra man for arranging their mission.
So, you can say, those who came into the THC for mission almost all of them are weakest among the active fighters.
"Say, Krus, why did you want to become Village Head?"
I asked him to passed the time.
"I do not know... When I have started to dream to become the village head. In our village, when I used to be a kid, I always saw the village head as limelight. The brightest light in my eyes. Even a king was nothing to me in comparison to our village head. So, I just want to become one. Something from bottom of my heart was pushing toward my dream. But the only possible way to become a village head is to become at least Knight in terms of nobility rank. I thought of marrying his only daughter if I can marry her and take their family name, one or another way I can become a Knight. And I was successful to woo her. But at one point I thought, that was not the right way. I thought this is not a glorious deed to become a village head. If I become a knight with my own power, I may have become the brightest light than our current head. So, here I am now."
So everyone has their own morality in their heart. He may have thought of using someone, which was not less evil deed, to show behavior fake for achieving something, but he changed at some point in his life. So, my sentence toward her(Raiya) that a person can change in life at some point isn't false after all. It is true my sin cannot be compared with Krus, but he changed no matter his sin was big or small. I think I can make people believe in the future that, Loki has changed.
"Say, did you really loved her? Village Head's daughter I mean."
I asked him with a smile.
"Not at first. I saw her as nothing but a tool of mine to achieve my dream. But when I realized that I was doing wrong. I understood how much she loved me. But in return, I gave her fake love. I have confessed to her that, I didn't love her. All I did was faking in front of her. She told me that she knew. She knew for a long time. But still, she gave me pure love. I think that was the first I fell in love with the opposite gender. Her smile, her tears, and her caring lips... I cannot forget that moment until the day I die. I have promised her, I will become a better person. And become a Knight, worthy of her."
I see. Seems like he was having his true love moment then. I am envious. Because I never fall in true love before I came into this world. But when I did fail in true love, unlike Krus's girlfriend who loved him it was the opposite for me, she hates me the most.
Sigh!
"I hope you will achieve your dream."
I forward my hand to him. Seeing that he became surprised. Because heir from a grand duke and none other than direct line of the Western want to handshake with him by own accord, I think this is something he can be surprised on. I tilted my head toward him. He hurriedly grabbed my hand after cleaning it with his cloth.
"Thank you very very much, My Lord."
