"So… sorry…!" the young fairy stuttered again, instead of being afraid he was definitely angry, if the man he bump with wasn't Rius maybe he could fight fair and square.
Zi saw the courier bowing his head while apologizing, the silly smile on his lips was gone and his aura change from being silly to being weak? But why? Other fairies saw the commotion and started whispering to each other but a particular conversation caught her attention. An old fairy wearing a green robe adorn by small sycamore maple leaves said, "Poor Jess" her face was dejected the woman's eyes was full of worry, 'Jess was the kid's name?' Zi thought.
The old fairy in green continued "bumping into that unreasonable fellow…" another old fairy next to her who stop watering her wild flowers looking in the commotion and nod in agreement, "Having a title of a warrior always swell the core (brain) I guess".
"That's so true…" the old fairy in green said and they averted their gaze from the commotion.
'Hmm, so, these people were warriors not fairy funks' She only been staying in Trepalian City for almost six days, and gave the warriors a pet name "fairy hunks" because they jog early in the morning, shirtless, flaunting their taunt physics every single day.
The fairy funk who Jess bump into lifted his muscular arms and hit the young courier fairy in the head, a crunchy sound was heard as the clench fist reached the Jess' head. His head ring, it was almost like his skull was crack and his veins pop from the pain. Jess instantly fell on the ground whimpering while holding his head and curling into a ball. His face turned pale and the leaf containing the kingdom news was scattered on the grass patch. Gasp was heard from the crowd as blood tricked down Jess ears then they heard the fairy hunk, "A Fairy Warrior shouldn't say sorry to anyone!" he coldly roared at the curled ball Jess. His eyes glimmer with contempt.
Zi indifferently look down, "But his not a warrior…" her comment make Rius pause his legs that was about to kick Jess.
"Oh… I forgot about that" then he slowly raised his head saying, "But who cares?" He was stunned as his eyes landed on the beautiful woman in the window. Not only him but everyone was frozen stiff.
Astonishment was present in every fairies on sight as they saw the face of the woman in the window. The fairy hunk whom Jess bump into almost forgot how to breath 'such a gorgeous woman' he thought. His eyes was reflecting the glowing ivory skin of her egg shaped face.
Not aware to the stupor her bewitching face caused, Zi unfeelingly look down unto the man and said "I do" this bring back the crowd out of their trance. The fairy hunk was still engrossed in her beauty and smile lustfully towards her.
"eh!" his voice sounded like a mouse squeak and he cleared his throat 'so much for an opening!' he was embarrassed but recovered from it rather quickly. "Are you proposing a marriage, panemorfi (beautiful)?" Rius confidently smile and continue, "Well I don't mind taking you in" Zi was taken aback at the dog like smile the fairy hunk was giving her 'ah… a fairy like this exist…?' she smiled wearily inside.
Zi look down to see Jess condition, when Rius saw it he lifted his foot again to kick Jess away. Seeing it Zi's hair stood on its end, her face darkened, 'This man needs a beating'. Her poker face stilled and she ask "ahm…" Zi pause "You are?"
When the man heard the inquiry he was delighted. He stood ramrod straight then bowed his head a little for a formal greetings "I'm sorry for not showing proper etiquette, I am Ri…"
BAAM!
Before the fairy hunk complete his introduction he was hit in his chest and was sent flying and smashing on the tree, shaking the house above it. His eyes flare furiously as he spit a mouthful of olive colored blood then look at the attacker.
"Rius!"
"Captain!"
The members of the fairy hunk parade shouted in alarm and gasp of air could be heard from the surrounding on lookers. They look at the woman who attacked Rius, she was the same woman in the window.
"YOU!" a roar was heard. Rius was already standing and he wipe the blood on the side of his lips, seeing this Zi look at him with no visible emotion. "A FAIRY WARRIOR SHOULDN'T SAY SORRY" She enunciate every word 'tsk!' the walk towards Jess who is in the ground.
Rius who was about to walk towards her stop his steps and the words he said a moment ago came flashing back
"A Fairy Warrior shouldn't say sorry to anyone!"
"I'm sorry for not showing proper etiquette, I am Ri…"
His face turned red, vein bulge on his forehead, his heart beat increased and his breathing was erratic. His bare chest was heaving up and down and sweat trick down in his tanned skin, without a word his foot press on the ground and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Zi, "Dare to tricked me woman!" he growled but Zi didn't batted him an eye.
