Afternoon that same day
"Embarrassed while covering her face with a white towel, Sophia slowly approached Noah and said:
—Come on Noah… it's time to… take… a shower. "
Because she was ashamed, she was talking too softly, but even so, Noah could hear everything clearly because she was in the fifth stage of her tempered body.
'What!? Bath!? And who's going to give me… I don't think I want to improve any more… '
Facing Noah, she lowered the towel a little, thus removing it from the front of her eyes and looking up and down at his body.
'What is she thinking of doing now?'
Sophia looked at Noah's eyes, those eyes that followed everything she did, and threw the towel that was on her face, in his.
'What!? Hey, why did you… Whoa! Will you start already !? '
Even though she was quite ashamed, Sophia took the sword from her chest and slowly started to take Noah's shirt off, after placing the sword on the table next to the bed. Well, it's not like that blouse is doing its duty to cover Noah's body since it was now all torn.
And because she was already torn, Sophia could see a lot of Noah's body before she even took off her shirt, but that part of her body was nothing new to her, since she had seen it all in the lake before. The real problem was the bottom, Sophia was embarrassed to know that after she finished taking off that blouse, the only thing that would remain was to remove her pants as well.
'So what's she doing there?'
After Sophia removed Noah's blouse, she can see something that was previously hidden under the blouse, thanks to the attack that Noah had received before her body was now full of wounds, from the most serious to the most insignificant.
Her arm was full of small cuts, and on her chest there were 3 cuts under each other, cuts that if they were a little deeper, Noah probably wouldn't be alive right now.
And seeing those cuts, a tear streamed down Sophia's face as she thought about the extent of the pain Noah was feeling with those bruises on her body.
But something was strange there, Sophia was looking at that huge cut on Noah's body for a few minutes and didn't see even a single drop of blood coming out of it, and in doubt as to why this was happening Sophia gave in to her curiosity, and slowly he took his right hand to the cut in the middle that was the deepest of all.
When she put her finger close to the cut, because she couldn't contain that pain just in her mind, the first sound that came out of Noah's mouth after taking that attack, was not a sentence and much less a word, that was more for an almost silent moan, but even though that moan had made almost no sound, Sophia realized that Noah was in pain when her body twitched slightly.
'What the fuc…'
Just that slight twist that had been caused by Sophia's touch on her body, caused a wave of pain throughout Noah's body when he twitched slightly.
"When she saw that Noah was squirming, Sophia quickly pulled her finger away from Noah's body, and while she saw him squirming she said:
-…I'm very sorry…"
Feeling guilty for making him feel pain, but without having to do anything other than look and hope that pain would stop as quickly as possible, with tears running down his face because he knew he was feeling pain because of him, Sophia He knelt slowly by the bed Noah was on and held his hand gently.
*********
"Why did you let her stay in the same room as that stranger?"
Asked Sophia's father as he went to lie on his bed wearing a completely white pajama.
"Already lying on the right side of the bed, in her blue dress, Mrs. Radiance with an expression of doubt upon hearing her husband's question, asked:
"How old was I when you got on top of my dad so he would let us both get married?"
"…It does not matter."
Replied Mr Radiance as she lay down on the bed.
As she looked at him with a small smile in the left corner of her mouth, the woman said, "Ah, yes. I was 22 when you proposed to me. "
"Okay and what does this have to do with?"
Asked the man as he turned and stood with his back to his wife.
While giving a gentle kiss on her broad shoulders the woman said "I was 22 and our daughter is 21, so stop getting so involved in her personal life, as she already knows how to make her own choices at that age. Also, my dad was not as boring as you are now. "
"But what if he just wants to play with our daughter?"
"Oh, yes, you could hit him if that happened. But I very much doubt that this will happen. "
"Huh? And why do you say that? We don't even know this boy. "
"It's very simple. My daughter took after me, so she is as beautiful as I am. "
"(Laughter) Of course, that is certainly true."
"And also, you don't have to be so worried about it, because disappointments are part of everyone's life. But if that boy makes my little girl suffer, I'll make him pay for it myself. "
"... But didn't you say that I was not supposed to meddle in her life?"
"You are not supposed to meddle, not me."
"… But what if this boy has a goal coming here? What if that goal is not a good one? "
"… You know very well in what situation we are all in, just a word from the emperor and this little town would not resist even if it tried. So we have to find some way to at least protect our daughter, but even that is almost impossible to do. So let her have a little fun, let her love at least once, because we don't know if that will be possible in a while… "
