Sosuke spent his time caring for Christina even though her stomach hadn't bloated yet ..
To him she looked so fragile that if she even took a small step on the Jesper floor she might break into million pieces ...
His daily routine was much more complex and laughable since Christina told him she was pregnant .. "Sir Sosuke .. you don't have to worry about me .. " she giggled as she laid on his chest .. "Since I told you about the child you've been doing nothing except for staying in the house and caring for me .. you must go around the castle or into the other kingdoms instead of looking after me .. I'm very fine .. I assure you that .."
She looked into his eyes playing with his fingers ..
Sir Sosuke never left instead he made a promise to her that he would never leave her side even if it's for a minute or
a single twoth ...
She sometimes found him a little weird as he used his dwimmer abilities to take care of her ...
She would often tell at him for being lazy and how he was acting lately ... he would just laugh at her mockingly and made fun of he until she'd moue ....
They spent their time together without doing nothing except from staying inside the castle and letting Sosuke doing all the work and caring whilst she sat in their bed reading through a few written scriptures from the novelists around in the entire continent ...
If Sosuke found her reading he would encourage her to do so more often and sometimes he'd take a turn into reading a story for her and their little unborn baby ...
"Sir Sosuke ... I want you to know that I really love you ... I promise to protect you from the dangers in the darkness ... and if I can't protect you ... you can protect yourself .. you're even stronger than most The kings and queens in the Peace Sanctuary ... however their prowess are not to be fiddled with especially his .... he can be a menace sometimes .... ... the only danger I would warn you about is him ... he's powerful ... " she looked into his eyes laying on his chest with a bright smile on her face ...
'How did I come across such an organised, calm and beautiful woman my lord .... has the heavens rewarded me for something important I did ... even so thank you ... she's a treasure I wouldn't want to let go ... especially when she's about to go into the hardships of fighting an evil man ... *sigh* if only I had the required power ... ' he thought and continued thinking with a slight smile appearing on his face ... 'However ... I will forever love her .. even if forever is just a word .. I will try my best to become the best and her protector ... I will have to get stronger ... '
Whilst he was still in his thoughts .. Christina was reading through his expressions and thoughts ... even though she was very happy that Sosuke would sacrifice himself for he .. she wouldn't let that happen especially when he had promised his life for he love ...
She was truly grateful for him and his love ... her power was mighty and enough to eradicate beings like that man who forced marriage on her ... but alas she lived a peaceful life without waging wars and battles going on ....
And now she decided to take a step in he life for the first time and protect the ones she loved and most importantly Sosuke and Calipso ...
Just then Sosuke sat up still with her in his arms looking at her with glistening eyes ...
"Lady Christina ... I don't want to rush things but don't you think If we stay here for long .. that man will get angry and shake the heavens and the starry sky ... " he said caressing her hair gently with her looking at him with her beautiful eyes ....
Although she was reluctant to leave earth and go to Peace Sanctuary again ... she couldn't say the same for the man who would do anything to get the treasures of the Will's family ...
Christina's family has always been the overpowered in all the Peace Sanctuary ... even the high council had no authority over them ... much less ruling them ...
However they always went on with their rules anyway despite being the ones with the big power ...
Even if most of the family had perished they wouldn't even dare to give into their desires and steal treasures from the Will's kingdom ...
Although they seemed like very nice and humble people with soothed souls ... nothing could be said for whatever was inside of all of them ...
But unlike the Will's family there was a family the opposite of them ... or you could say ... the Will's family was pure good whilst the other was evil ... The Strong family ... the most dangerous and evil family that has ever existed in the Peace Sanctuary ...
And just like the Will's family ... the Strong's family had so much power that they didn't even need to be ruled .. and due to their bad and evil behaviours they didn't accept the fact that the council was offering them to be of high authority over them whilst they stayed below the others .....
They were the second strongest family that has ever live in the Peace Sanctuary ... whilst the Will's family was powerful enough to destroy the entire Strong clan leaving unscathed ....
Their powers were vastly different from the strong but they remained humble and peaceful whilst they kept their demons inside to not erupt in anger even enough to wipe out the whole kingdoms ...
"Okay .. we will go ... but promise me that you won't sacrifice yourself for me .. because if you do I will never forgive you even if you're dead ... " she said tightening her grip on his shirt looking at him intently and with pleading eyes ...
"Promise me ..!!!" Sosuke had sweat pearls running down his face and couldn't think straight due to the immense pressure given off by his beloved woman ...
'I can't promise her that ... what if ... what if she gets into trouble and refuses to use her powers ... I will have to intervene .. even if I'm not powerful enough I will have to be powerful enough to sacrifice myself for her ... so the promise she wants me to make won't get through me .... I've lost so many loved ones ... I can't lose her as well .... I ... I have to decline ..'
Just then he felt a slap across his face ... when he removed his palm from his face his eyes stuck on the beautiful face of her wife with tears trickling down that beautiful skin ...
She made an angry face looking at him like she wanted to kill him ... "I can read your mind you know ... I won't let you do that ... I want you to be alive for me ... for our child ... you hear me Sosuke ...!!" she tried slapping him countless time with him dodging almost every slap ....
He caught her hand and brought her face closer to his ... "Christina ... I'm sorry but that a promise I can't make ... I'll eventually break it ... so please don't make this too hard ... I love you ... and I would die for you ..."
she cursed inwardly looking at him as if he was stupid and naive ... her face sulked for a twoth before sticking her face into his chest ...
"But that's not equitable ... " she cried her eyes out saying the phrase repeatedly until she finally gave in and wiped her eyes ...
she raised her head slightly to surprisingly look into the sad teary face of Sosuke ....
"I will let you come with me .... but only if you stay by my side until my last breath ... you hear me Sosuke .... I won't take a no for an answer in that ... okay ... I've lost my family too .. I don't want to lose you too .. I love you ... so please make me another promise ... this one is simple ... I want you to stay by my side forever ... or ... is .. is that an option ..."
Sosuke shook his head and hugged her tightly kissing her on the lips ... "I will stay by your side ... my love ..." ...
A smirk appeared inside her head ... 'I won't let you sacrifice yourself for me .. Sosuke ... '
****
After enjoying their stay on earth both Sosuke and Christina said their goodbyes to the people in the continent who they had met with and made friends with ....
Christina left Aurora's family with a few gifts before leaving ....
"Become stronger Aurora ... " Aurora imprinted those words inside her head ....
All the people in the continent looked in the sky where a huge light enveloped the whole night sky ... Sosuke and Christina flew out from the surface of the earth and said their goodbyes ....
The bright light died down after spiralling into the starry sky in a beautiful pattern ....
"This is beautiful ..." Sosuke said standing on top of what looked like a glowing golden chariot with emerald crystal linings on the outside .... it looked like a star up close only small ...
There were no horses and nothing ahead of them pulling the chariot instead the chariot moved by itself at an abnormal speed ... yet Sosuke and Christina were not affected by its speed ...
"Yes it is ... it's one of the treasures my father created for me when I was young so I could travel beyond the starry sky ..." Christina said holding onto his hand tightly with a worried expression ....
when Sosuke saw this he caressed her cheek and assured her that it would be fine as long as she doesn't get harmed in any way ....
"We're almost there ..." Christina said ... just then Sosuke remembered something ... "Wait didn't you tell me that it took you years to travel to earth ...??" her cheeks flushed not knowing what to say as she put on a smile ...
"Well I was quite depressed ... if I was my normal cheery self I would've reached earth in three years of course ... besides it seems like the endless void of this black sky's time moves fast so I can only tell you that it was because of the black void that I took a long time to reach earth .... " she looked at him before she continued ... "Well ... I would say I arrived a day after ... but due to the confusing black void .. I can't say I did ..."
Sosuke thought he was understanding what she was saying but alas his mind was taking the information with his right ear whilst the other one let it flow beyond the black void ...
After a few 'years' travelling in the endless void ... both Sosuke and Christina climbed off the beautiful chariot ... soaring in the black void with nervous expressions ...
Christina pulled Sosuke with her as they descended to the Peace Sanctuary .... her presence alerted every high ranking official ... it has been days since she last disappeared ... although it might not sound like much ... the Peace Sanctuary year cycle was slow including its long days ...
One day in the Peace Sanctuary would at most be equal to one month on earth ....
Christina hovered just above the greenery where she had met Calipso ...
"This place looks magnificent ... " Sosuke said with widened eyes and jaw dropped down ...
Although it didn't seem like much to Christina who has spent hundreds of years living here ... Sosuke was different and looked around with admiration ...
"You see that giant tall castle peeking out behind all the other houses that are much more bigger than your castles on earth ....???" Sosuke nodded
"That's my castle ... that's my home ..." Sosuke couldn't help but stare at the peeking castle with awe ... it was the largest he has ever seen ... and looking in certain distances he could see that all the other castles were a little bit smaller compared to Christina's ... even though they covered a 1000 miles radius ...
So far only one castle caught his attention ...
"That's where he reins ... " Christina said snapping him out of his daze ...
"But it looks ..." before he could finish Christina interrupted with a sigh ... "Bright right ... ... all the kings and queens don't really understand his style ... he is evil and does dark things yet he lives in a bright white golden castle ... yes ... "
Sosuke couldn't understand the reason why the 'man' built his castle that way ... it was almost close to being as high and mightier as Christina's only it lacked a few things he could tell ....
"I sense a lot of powerhouses heading our way .." Sosuke said nudging Christina on her shoulder ...
"Let's go to my castle ... they will meet us there ..."
They proceeded to fly towards the city gate with one guard standing watch looking straight in the horizon ... he wasn't staring in anything ... he was staring in the thin air as if he didn't pay attention to the powerful presences coming his way ...
"Aethelu .... how are you doing ..??" Aethelu didn't say anything for a while before replying with a calm voice ... "I am doing great Queen Christina ...."
Although his eyes were staring into the nothingness ... he saw Sosuke holding Christina's hand tightly .... he presumed that Sosuke could be a close relative he knew nothing about ... and their appearances looked nothing alike ...
"You don't have to be formal Aethelu this is Sosuke ... he is ..." she blushed .. Aethelu could easily make up the whole thing right now ... his eyes didn't go wide not did his jaw drop instead he put on a faint smile ...
"Elder sister Christina .... do you .." before he could finish Christina read through his mind and nodded her head hastily holding Sosuke's hand tightly ... "Yes I really really do ... " ...
Aethelu's shoulders dropped ... he started spinning his arms gently ... "I've been standing here for six days ... with no rest ..." Christina giggled lightly before saying .. "Stop being silly Aethelu you don't need sleep ..." Aethelu chuckled with his chest puffed out ....
"Let's go to the castle now ... You can rest there ..." Christina said mockingly making Aethelu feel embarassed ....
They went past the large gate and went the long way through the crystal street ...
The citizens there bowed down to show respect to Christina and the unknown male individual who holding hands with her ...
For some citizens they could've whispered and tried to make a gossip but these citizens knew their place .. even so ... they were humble and they couldn't bring themselves to question their majesty
..
After walking through the other gate leading to the giant castle they teleported straight inside the throne room with no throne ...
"By the way Aethelu has James returned ... I know what he was trying to do ... " Aethelu's face paled ...
"Elder sister they captured him ... the Strong clan captured him ... they didn't do anything to him yet but I don't think they will let him off that easily ... I'm not strong as brother James Elder sister but please give me permission to at least try to save him ..." Christina faced down with a tired expression .... the atmosphere turned silent with Aethelu's freezing temperature affecting the things inside the throne room ... freezing them completely ...
"Don't worry I'll go talk to 'him' ..." she said with a resolute face yet nervous ....
"Christina ... " she loosened her grip from his hand ... she looked at him with a smile ...
"Don't worry I will make sure I come back ..." with that she disappeared in thin air ...
the temperature rose up instantly causing the room to be warmer ...
"Please be safe elder sister ..." Aethelu said before looking in Sosuke's direction ...
He went on his knee with his hand on his puffed out chest ... "Allow me great sir to introduce myself ... I am Aethelu Will ... the Guardian of the kingdom ... I am honoured to meet you ..." Sosuke looked at him with a raised eyebrow ....
He heaved a deep but silent sigh .. "Please sir Aethelu stand up ... I am Sosuke Magic ... from earth ... a billions of stars away from this Sanctuary. .."
Aethelu stood up with a smile on and motioned for Sosuke to sit ...
They began talking an getting to know each other
....
From their own perspective they liked each other due to their similarities in their past life only Sosuke's was terribly depressing whilst Aethelu's was like a drop of water in the ocean compared to what Sosuke had to go through ...
of course they've grown to trust each other with Christina away ... they both needed each other as allies ... and no better way than befriending ..
Sosuke had utmost told him everything about him but leaving a few things like him turning into a dark being aside . .
he could tell that in a place so peaceful one who was evil was forbidden to enter ...
Laughter rang out in the throne room with Aethelu serving food and a few drinks but no alcohol ..
.
Sosuke had never thought that in his life he would meet such great people ... he wondered what kind of person James was ...
....
now they could only wait for Christina to come back ...
Aethelu and Sosuke could already feel it inside of them .... it wouldn't be long before word got to the king of the Strong clan ... and that would cause a massive destruction .....
