Kiro and Cyrian head to the dining room . They enter and sit on the chairs . Luchia joins them too . Vallerie starts serving the food . Everyone starts eating , expect Vallerie who was still standing and waiting for permission to sit .
-What's wrong ? - Says Kiro .
-Nothing .
-Then sit and eat up , you have cooked it after all .
Vallerie sits shyly and starts eating slowly alongside Luchia , while in the other hand , Kiro and Cyrian were using their weapons to cut the beef , and they were eating as they were devouring it . Luchia coughs slightly to signal Kiro .
-What?
-Manners .
-Yeah , yeah right.
Kiro and Cyrian start eating more carefully . After a while Kiro and Cyrian are finished .
-I would really appreciate a glass of wine right now .
-Then follow me to the living room .
They both head to the living room . They sit and light the fireplace. Kiro grabs a bottle of wine and pours Cyrian wine in his glass.
-Aren't you going to drink ?
-I told you I'm not into alcohol .
-Is there a reason so ?
-I hate the feeling of the inside burning it gives .
-Seems fair enough .
"That would just remind me of Esgrieth before we signed the new contract . "
-Now that I think about it , have you heard the news ?
-What is it ?
-The beast men are getting out of control , Cassius and Hellar have signed a cease fire until the beast men are eradicated .
-Is this supposed to be good news or bad news ?
-It depends on how you think about it , in what angle you look at it .
-So what do you think about it ?
-As far as I know it doesn't come as a profit to us .
-You are right .
-Well , If you would excuse me , I should set off .
-As you wish , don't forget , I owe you a bottle of wine after all .
Kiro hands Cyrian a bottle of wine and Cyrian's face sparks a smile .
-That's what I call a gift .
-Well , don't drink it in one night .
-I will try too , the wine was that good it will be hard to resist .
-Take care .
-You too Kiro .- Then Cyrian mounts his horse and leaves the mansion , disappearing in the darkness .
"Well take care you bastard "
Kiro enters the living room once again , then Vallerie enters in too shortly after .
-Ohh it's you
-would you need anything ?
-I'm alright for now . Now that I think about it you can help me with something.
Vallerie responds nervously :
-What is it that you need?
-Is Luchia asleep ?
-Yes?
Kiro takes off his coat .
"No , No , No , please no , What was I thinking when I asked him ?"
Kiro then throws his coat at Vallerie and says :
-You can clean it and sew it since Luchia is asleep . Please , i want it clean as soon as possible .
-Is that all ?
-Yep
-Then I should be going .
-Carry on
Vallerie leaves the room with Kiro's coat .
She goes outside and starts to clean his coat in the water .She washes the coat silently , as the breeze covers her ears .
Meanwhile Kiro heads to his bedroom and collapses on his bed . His eyes get heavier and heavier , until he decides to close them . He finds himself lying on the flowers of the endless blossomed field of the spiritual realm . Esgrieth sits right in front of him . She stands up and says .
-Come on let's go
Kiro stands up and they start walking forward . Esgrieth turns to Kiro and says .
-Seeing a human thinking he's powerful is rather satisfying .
-What do you mean ?
-You saw what that man who organised the race looked like . He thought he had all the power of the world when he organised that race . Making other people fight and kill each other over money makes him like he's a god in my opinion.
-What's your point .
-Is power that important to you humans ?
-It depends on who you ask , some people carve for money , some for power , some for food only . If you think about it , it depends on what they have and don't have .
-So you mean they will always want more .
-Exactly , I though you would know this .
-I knew actually , but it seems too greedy of a statement to be true .
-People are born in a world of sin , no one is expected to be perfectly pure .
-Wise words coming from you .
-Was that a compliment or an insult .
-Take it as you want .
-Now I have a question for you .
-What is it ?
-Can we sit for a little bit , I'm feeling tired all of a sudden .
- I see it as a waste of time , but as you wish .
They both sit .
"Finally , now I can enjoy the sight for a moment or two , she really bought it "
Esgrieth starts picking up flowers . Then she starts chaining them into a flower crown After a while she puts it on Kiro's head .
-are you doing this again ?
-Yes , indeed . Besides , it suits you .
-I'm a guy , this is the least thing that would suit me .
-I think otherwise
-Well , isn't this a wonderful view
-I've been staying here for so long , yet I still haven't noticed the beauty that surrounds me.
She lies on the flowers and takes a deep breath .
-I guess I forget to appreciate things that happen to me too , just like you humans. Maybe I met you only to understand this.
-You think so ?
Yes I do , To be honest , now I feel like I gained a whole new world for myself . Every flower here can be mine , every single one .
-I don't know what to say about this .
- You don't have to say anything , you just made me realise I have a whole realm for myself , maybe I should forget even the fact that I'm trapped here .
-If you say so
-But still , I'm curious to see if I'll ever find an end of this field .
-To be honest , I haven't understood anything you have said .
-I don't expect fools to comprehend me .
-As you say big talk .
Kiro stands up and is ready to leave .
-You forgot to give me the flower crown .
-Yeah , here you go , Now then , until next time.
