The thugs looked at Reisa with contempt, how could such a weak girl dare to fight them with just a magic staff.
"Hey kid look, that girl doesn't care about you anymore." Said one of the men while smacking Lucas's head, it juat that there is no reaction from Lucas, he seem unconscious.
"Tch!" Feeling disappointed, the man finally kicked Lucas's body.
Reisa who saw that scene showed an expression of pity. The thugs feel impatient and since their threats were useless, the three men in front decided to forcibly take the staff from the girl. Just when they started moving, Reisa's gaze immediately focused on them, at that time they were not aware of Reisa's immediate response to their movements, sadly when they realize that, it was too late.
[Blast]
[Blast]
[Blast]
It didn't take long for Reisa to make the three men fall on the ground with her staff hitting the head, stomach and chest of the three of them. With these three attacks, Reisa was overwhelmed and she let her body fall down while panting.
It's not that she is an ignorance that forget the remaining three people who were still holding Lucas, because from the vision she saw earlier Lucas had managed to knock the three men down without doing anything, or it just she can't see how he did that.
And as she took glance at them, she saw the three men already unconscious with blue face and their mouths let out foam. While Lucas got up, if it weren't for the dirt on his body, other people would think that he was woke up from a taking a nap.
'Haha' At that time, Reisa started to realize what her husband's real face looked like.
…
At the same time, after Allen and Lizzy were unsuccessful in finding Lucas and the woman at the front of audience hall. The two of them finally waited in the parlor of the first prince's palace.
Camellia Palace, the residence of the late concubine Sarah Tatiana. Allen and Lizzy looked at the paintings on the walls of the room, especially the large paintings in the middle. In that painting, a woman with black hair and eyes is standing, she has regal and mystic aura on her. At that time both of them realized that the woman looked similar to the illusion that Lucas had shown, beside the woman was a boy with golden hair and deep blue eyes that they are familiar with.
The Camellia palace, which felt deserted, suddenly made Allan and Lizzy remember that Lucas had almost never returned to this palace since concubine Sarah's died. Even so, both of them hoped Lucas would forget about that incident.
The two of them didn't rush back even if they knew Lucas was not coming back here. Then, they decided to take a walk in the Camellia palace. Even though this palace has not been inhabited by its master for a long time, this palace always looks clean with several servants passing by. Actually in her mind, Lizzy alway felt that her brother's servants looked odd and always made her uncomfortable.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the back garden of Camellia palace, only... this back garden was unusual, unlike any other garden in this palace.
This garden is full of towering trees, and very dense camellia plants, making the atmosphere in this garden become melancoly and a little creepy. Even so, the plants here are well maintained and don't get in the paving stone. The paths are clean and the weed is trimmed. While stroking the Camellia flower, Lizzy asked.
"Do you remember how we first found this place?"
Allen, of course, remembers, at that time after their enggagement, he was annoyed because Elisabeth always disturb and follow him everywhere, and so he started avoiding Lizzy and often hiding in various places, until one day he hid quite far into this shady garden.
Allen, who was hiding among the bushes at that time, didn't know that Lizzy, who could communicate with the wind spirit, could find him evwry time. Unfortunately, at that time the first person Lizzy met was not Allen but the teenage Lucas.
"Who is this kid?"
When Lizzy met the young Lucas, she realized that the wind spirit didn't dare to get close, scared and they fled immediately. Lizzy, who saw this for the first time, wheather she is affected or because of Lucas cold demeanor that time, she became scared and ended up crying loudly.
Lucas, who was walking around at that time, didn't know what to do and finally asked the servant to send the little girl away. Allen, who was still in hiding, was surprised when the girl who was usually is prideful and willfully suddenly cried like normal girl, and to be honest at that time Allen just realized that the girl was so cute after she shed off her pretense.
The next day, Allen accompanies Lizzy to apologize to the first prince for trespassing his garden.
That's is where the relationship of the three of them begins.
"Lizzy"
Allen took Lizzy's hand that touched the red Carmelia flower, and brought it to his cheek. Lizzy scrunched up her face because of the warmth in her hands. In front of her, Allen with his droppy eyes look sad but mesmerizing.
"Lizzy ..." he said once again, Allen's lips began to get closer to Lizzy's face kissing her eyes, down to his cheeks and finally landing on Lizzy's lips.
Realizing their act, Lizzy want to say something but once she opened her lip, Allen's tongue forcing his way into Lizzy's mouth, and it didn't take too long for their tongues intertwined with each other, after Lizzy's breath began to feel heavy, Allen let go of her lips for her to take a break before continuing it again.
"Lizzy, I love you."
Allen whispered in deep voice in Lizzy's ear that make her shiver involuntary. And then, this garden 'once again', become the place where the relationship between the two of them raise to a new stage.
