In this neverending horizon filtered by crimson blood and fire. . .
There is a sole man, slowly, and solely walking in this vicinity, a man whose binded by multiple layers of chains bigger than his arm, in which, this chain symbolizes the limit of a person; a chain of life and death, a chain of happiness and sadness; a chain of determination and regret; a chain of rule and law. . .
. . .But surprisingly, the said man didn't stop his track and forced his way from its bindings. leg, neck, torso, all of it have bindings but for some reason, one by one he grip this bindings, one by one it destroys by him as sound of shattered glass echoes as if this stupid illusion of bindings is not even worth his time. No matter how many chain binds him, once he felt it hinders his normal way of walking, he destroys two, if not, three of them, unconcerned and unrestrained. . .

Opening his eyes inside his Guild office, Luginas frowned as his dream, are most of the time, is always like this. . .his black lines under eye is now bigger than usual as he try to massage them softly. Then scratching his head and at loss, suprisingly, he seated comfortably and professionally this time and took a piece of pen and skim the accumulated paperworks like a scholar. . .
. . .Entering inside his office and saw her unusual workaholic guild master, Mirma smile and called him.
"Master"
"hm?"
"Its already lunchtime, its unusual of you to cage yourself here during meal" she questioned, afterall she knew her guild master all along, he won't finish that paperworks even if someone gives him eons of concentration.
"I'm always unusual, you know that full well", and after finishing a piece of work, he yawned yet again. he has 6 inches paperworks but he finish only 6 pieces of them and yawn again, Mirma sweetly smile seeing him like this.
"What? you want something?" her weird smile made him asks in a bit of confuse, really, is she this weird? ask by the weird guild master himself.
"Want me to deliver you your meal then?"
"No. . .lets go" awkwardly, he sigh as hunger overwhelms him over work, he stands up and follows his secretary's lead thereafter.
. . .
. . .
. . .
Frowning yet again, Luginas find himself isolated like he's inside the amazon full of carnivorous animal, as 4 lady are seated besides his table while eating
He look at his secretary, but a tad of chuckle is her only reply; at Kahjita, but she only look from another direction.
"You said we'll seek you if Elle insists of becoming an Adventurer, so this is her answer" instead, it was the the princess who answers.
"Then lets settle this inside the training ground and not at meal ground! now leave me alone!" those who want solitary doesn't wanted be disrupted especially during their favorite time, and meal time is one for Luginas, second to sleeping. So it irritates him noticing this many people are beside him when eating. Its more unusual that even his vice-master is here. . .
. . .Of course they would, afterall, this was the princess, their guests. So atleast they have to entertain her. Or so what the vice master and Mirma wanted to convey towards their guild master. But he's too dense when it comes to this, even though he is aware what's infront of him is a princess. . .his lackadaisical behaviour is nothing surprising at all though.
As he is munching over, high level cuisines arrived. . .it was catered by none other than the royal families personal chef. Her four bodyguards are not far away; staying vigilant. Their table are now too eye catching for others--enough for Luginas to almost splinter his face from his own plate as he don't want people staring at him while eating. Well, he's not a shy type. Not at all. He just wanted some space, that's all. . .
. . .And before the others started their meal, he stands up, saying "Thanks for the meal then". . .glancing back and wanted to taste that high level cuisine who arrived --but he walked out hastily--, is there tastier than the dragon meat? He sure knows there is nothing. . .But why has he never eat it again after tasting one? that's the story for the later.
After then, he exited for good and tell the others; If they want something, then seek his secretary or Vice Master. . .
"Really, that guild master of yours is really weird" As he is gone, the princess commented and find it funny. the only thing she finds him irritated was his negative demeanor but after that, all she saw is the strongest person --next to her father's Templar Knight-- she ever met. Even her Knight(Elle) agrees as they converse the last time. . .
"Its alright, he's always like that" Kahjita acclaimed and started to dig in.
"By the way, Tita, how did he defeat you?" the Princess then asks curiously. Although a vice guild master now, she knew this voluptuous lady is not to be trifled with and knew she's also the former Guild Master before Luginas. the little princess are now grow a little bit of fond over Luginas while thinking so.
Surprisingly, the elf didn't reply and only stare towards the princess. her emerald eyes, shone with a bit of anger and adoration at the same time.
Even she knew that. . .that very attack from the Magic Swordsman is a life threatening even for her if facing it head-on, but her guild master swept it as if nothing. . .
'But I can't remember how the hell I'd lose to that guy!', unfortunately, contrary to her inner feelings, she cannot accept her defeat against such lazy guy until this point.
