Chereads / Rise of King Arthur / Chapter 33 - REASON

Chapter 33 - REASON

When Arthur and Lumia separated, Lumia's face was completely flushed in red and her mind was in a daze. But that wasn't all, her breathing is still heavy and her chest is still heaving up and down. Arthur could feel her chest heaving on his body. It was a heavenly feeling. Arthur licked the remaining traces of her saliva in his lips.

Lumia is still held tightly by Arthur but she didn't respond at all. Whether it's the shock or aftertaste of what happened, no one knows but Lumia was silent for a while. Arthur didn't go any further because it's not the time and place to be doing this kind of thing. Also, it happened all so quickly that he couldn't control himself and just gave in to his desire.

Arthur knew that Lumia had no good impressions of him. For some unknown reasons, she hated him. Now after this event he is sure he will be more hated by Lumia.

They got up slowly from the ground. Lumia was still in daze when she got up. Arthur helped her stand up. It didn't look like she is rejecting him. Then Arthur looked at her in the eyes and at first, he saw confusion in her eyes. But that confusion only surfaced momentarily before it is replaced by hatred and anger.

Lumia immediately jerked off Arthur's hand that was supporting her stand up. Arthur was ready for Lumia to burst out in anger and vent on him. But nothing like that happened. She was silent and looked at me with hatred like I am the one who killed her dog and stole her car. 'wait, what's a car!?'

Anyway, Arthur is more worried now. He expected Lumia to rage on furiously but she is calm, annoyingly calm. Her calm mood made Arthur very worried and afraid. Who knows what she will do in her anger if she keeps it suppressed?

Lumia went to Elena's side and stood their silently. Elena saw that Lumia is in a bad mood so she didn't also say anything. She just glared at Arthur intensely to warn him not to pull this kind of stunt ever again. Arthur just smiled sheepishly at Elena's warning.

"OK, enough dilly-dallying. Let's find him quickly and run from here in one piece.", Elena said to everyone.

We begun our search for leader Ramon. Only I and Lumia had some fighting power in our search party. Elena can't fight and Lena is still unconscious. I have to carry Lena with me so my pace is very slow, which in turn slowed down our group as we don't want to separate from each other.

I lagged behind Elena and Lumia due to my slow pace. Lumia begun to look back irritatingly a few minutes later. Her frequency of looking back increased as time passed by. Then, finally, Lumia snapped.

"why are you walking behind us, you pervert? Can't you walk ahead of us?"

"I am carrying an extra person with me. I can't go any faster than this."

"then why don't you leave her here? Or she is just an excuse and you like the view you get to see from behind?"

Arthur became dumbfounded hearing her.

'I swear I never glanced at that direction even once. It didn't even cross my mind that I can enjoy their back view from this position. I regret missing such a chance, especially Elena's dancing back and her fluffy tails moving rhythmically when she walks. But in the end, I missed all this and now, I am being accused of a crime that I didn't commit. This is a complete injustice to me.', Arthur groaned inwardly.

"hey, you are accusing me wrongly. I completely forgot to stare as I was busy searching my surroundings. But thanks, for the reminder."

This time both Elena and Lumia became dumbfounded at my shamelessness.

"you..you.. enough of your bullshit. Lady Elena, I request you to keep watch over this shameless pig from his side. But be careful not to get too close to him. If he tries to do something inappropriate, tell me immediately. I will settle the old and new debts together.", Lumia said with a menacing smile in her face.

"OK, but why not you do it? That seems more right."

"I will stay in front of you and protect you. There is no one else free here to that now.", Lumia glanced at Arthur when she said that.

Arthur understood what Lumia was trying to do. She wanted to make Arthur look bad in front of Elena. But what he didn't understand is what good does it to Lumia if he is a bad person in Elena's eyes. Maybe this gives her a sense of satisfaction or something, that's what Arthur thought.

Elena agreed to Lumia's requests and walked beside Arthur in order to monitor Arthur. Lumia walked in front of them but to Arthur, it looked like he won the jackpot somehow.

Now Arthur had the chance to talk with Elena alone. He wanted to talk with Elena about many things like who she is, what does she do, why she is being attacked, who are the people that wants to kill her? But he decided to ask about Lumia first.

"hey, lady Elena, what is the problem with Lumia? Is she always so hot-tempered?"

"just 'Elena' is OK. As for the answer to your question, why go around her back to ask me? I can't answer anything about her personal life to you, not without her consent at least."

Arthur is stumped by her way of rejecting him. Elena didn't give him a single information on Lumia. She rejected him while making him feel guilty.

"I didn't mean that. I just want to understand if she behaves like this to everyone or I am just lucky enough to get this special treatment."

"why are you acting like she's the one who stole your first kiss? Don't blame Lumia for what you did. She is a good person and you should stay away from her. She had a tragic childhood. Thanks to that, she has a strong hatred for devils. that's why she acted so intense.", Elena replied to me as she glared at me.
