Ascais' room, The Pharos realm-
Aurora castle. Ascais was sleeping in this room as he was doing it. 2 weeks had passed since Ascais arrived in this realm. Helping the Castle keepers and carrying out last-minute work were exhausting him. He spends most of the day in his room assisting Rhine with her paperwork.
Slight way of sunlight slip through the curtains shining on Ascais's head. He turned his body to the other side.
'I kinda like Rhine now'
Ascais then shortly woke up in a shot and step out of his bed. Instead of walking to the bathroom, he used a water spell to create some water in the bowl lying near him.
"Water creation" Ascais concatenated the mana in the mana of his body to a point directly above the bowl, and balls of liquid water started to appear out of nowhere. Ascais grabbed a towel underneath the bed and used it to wipe his face. He then splashed some water on his face consuming the rest of the water which was left over.
(Water created by mana he called Magic water and is heavily filled with mana particles and is a good source of mana in the atmosphere.)
"Another day in my new romantic life" Ascais was magical in a full mental state he looked charmed. He was still in the bed wearing his classic uniform. It looked as if Ascais was forced to say these words.
He got up from the bed and pressed his thumb against his ring finger which wore the ring of chanceorous.
"RING OF CHANCEROUS"
A black suit with numerous small thin dragon scales emerged out of nowhere, It was like been fabricated by some mysterious magic source, After the coat, a set of black pants with thin small dragon scales manifested out of nowhere in the same way.
Ascais stripped down in a second and in the other second wore the black attire. In two whole seconds, the self dragon of destruction was ready for his daily routine, The aura emitted from him was dense unlike anything, It was concentrated on atmospheric mana. A human without the knowledge of magic would suffer severely from the servery overload of mana in an instant. Ascais removed a badge from his pants. It was made up of gold and was shaped in a head of a dragon with an open mouth about to devour the unfortunate living exiting who stood in his way.
As he pinned the badge to his collar the badge sucked the entire aura surrounding him. It was one of the types of artefacts which made the atmospheric mana into the mana of ones one's. Thou the amount of atmospheric mana gets divided by 50 just to be used by a person as his body mana.
As Ascais was about to walk from his room to Rhine's room. An instant feeling of itchiness came into his mind, It was an un-unusual feeling that covered his head. He felt as if someone was about to speak in front of his ears. Out of nature, Ascais touched the back end of his right ear. The unusual feeling transformed into a voice which was most familiar to Ascais as his Finance, 'Ascais could you wait near the drawbridge I will come to pick up you in a second'
'Huh, the drawbridge. Ya I will be there in a second but was it nesscasry for you to use a spell which gouged my head steadily, you very well know that I am on my terminal vacation',
'Just forgive, for now, Please be there'
As he heard those words the itchiness feeling appeared again only to leave his head after a few seconds. 'Why? Did Rhine do that'
Ascais left his room walking from the hallway. The maids and butlers and the numerous Ra members in the castles accoiled him as he came into view. They were never ordered to do this. They did it for a sense of admiration for him. The self dragon of destruction the chancellor of the Attack faction an Ace as well as the 8th demon lord.
In the whole attack faction, his name was nailed in the minds of the young members, and each and everyone admired him. He would be shocked shock even if he saw a body pillow of him in the room of a member, to the least this was just normal.
The noise the steps he made were like a dragon walking on a front page, His half Dragonborn nature, as well as his whole persona, was well identified. He may not to admired by the children who prefer peace over war but the ones who love wartime celebrated his name and cheered him.
Ascais never wished to make this it just happened out of nowhere. To the last Ascais always loved to act in a happy mode with a welcoming smile glued to his face. But for the people who admitted him, he had to make his life adjust to his outside self.
His name was even engraved on the pillar of gauss, which was another reason he was well known by the maids, butlers and the Ra members of this realm.
As he walked through the castle arriving at the drawbridge. He saw Rhine standing clinging to a tree staring at him. She was wearing her outfit consisting of an unbuttoned blue jacket, clasped at the top with a white bow; a red blouse underneath; and a skirt with ruffled fabric over it with a similar light colour matching the colour of her jacket and a golden lace draping over it from the front.
As he walked towards Rhine she turned her head opposite to his face. It was positive that she was angry at Ascais for some un-canon reason. "Ano, Rhine-san" She didn't respond to his words but instead She turned her face towards him, clinging to the tree from where she kept staring at his face. "STARE"
"Rhine have I done something to make you angry" After a second Ascais opened his mouth. Rhine pounced on him. She pressed her right leg against the tree she used the force generated by the action to push herself forward towards Ascais.
Ascais on the other end rendered his arms thinking that she was about to jump on him in a causal romantic welcome.
Rhine thrashed her right arm in a punching moment as Ascais was about to react to this Rhine had built up a moment faster than what he could react to in an instant Both Ascais and Rhine were facing each other. At arm's distance. Ascais made an x block arm to stop Rhine's aggressive welcome but to his surprise, Rhine smashed her hand unto Ascais' face.
Ascais with the force of action brought towards him was forced backwards about 3 meters. On the edge of the drawbridge, his body was bent all along the way almost about to fall about the drawbridge.
"Ah, ah ah ah" while using the full force of his back muscles he was able to stand upright again.
While keeping up his posture in balance he kept screaming Rhine's name again and again in his mind.
"Rhine!!! Why" His face had sustained huge amounts of damage his face was bleeding. His cheeks were solen and were about to give up. Ascais thinking it was Rhine had reduced all of his defence to one in the hope to block it by his body showing off his strength. What a foolish mistake.
Rhine on the other hand was exhausted she was leaning only with the support of her left leg, her right leg and her backbone had given up. Her entire right arm was paralyzed, she couldn't move a muscle, and her arm felt as heavy as an RA-issued typical magical Brust sniper rifle. Her knuckles were red and dripping with the blood from Ascais' face.
**
"What gives, what did I do" I shouted at Rhine angrily with all my might. I tried to approach it calmly but there was no way I could control my anger. With the blood dripping from my nose and the puffed-out cheeks It was the principal of misery.
"Ya, so what!!!!!" At top of her lungs, she shouted at me as if all of this was my fault. She looked down at her feet. I saw tears dropping from her eyes which splashed into a hundred droplets on impact to her feet.
"Who do you think you are, Ascais Hidall" I was in a deep shock. I had told her everything about me.
"I am the self-dragon of destruction, An Ace of the Realm Association, the person who remains one with the dragons the 8th demon lord and the weakest chancellor of the attack faction" That is who I am.
"As if" She looked at my face, there were still shreds of evidence of teras on her face. Her face area below her eyes was damp and she wouldn't keep her act on. She approaches me. Our bodies were perfectly aligned. Her height just barely managed to reach my chest.
"Rhi..", As I was about to open my mouth and speak to her. She grabbed me from my collar. Bending me down to her face. It was a surprise. I couldn't do anything. I kept my mouth shut just like the dim-wit I am when facing her.
Tears again started to run through her eyes. They came around at the worst time. She could no longer put her act up. She screamed at me. "If that is who you are, then who is my Yuuki, the one who I promise my life. The one I shared all my things with. The one who I played with all the time. The one who knew what I wanted. The one who would give me anything I wanted even before I could open my mouth to anyone. The one who left me all alone while there was no one. Say where he is, say where is my Yuuki Ascais Hidall"
She would no longer keep herself in. With her last words, she could do nothing but loosen her grip on his collar. Ascais was standing upright at a perfect angle, with Rhine who barely managed to hold her up.
"That Yuuki was the one who wanted to be with you for the rest of his life, so he tried to prove to the outside world that he was worthy of the fine lady who stuck out her way for him. That is why he left the lady who he loved so dearly to train and one day come and conquer her with his badges"
Tears started to flow from his eyes as he realised the one, he was searching for was standing in front of him, now engaged with him.
Ascais could do anything. He left Rhine away from his collar. And then pressed his both hands against her shoulder. Rhine kept looking at him, her eyes were still filled with tears. "Rina, I am sorry I took so long to come". The simile that I saw that day, I couldn't forget no matter what. I held her close to me. I moved my mouth close to her. She did the same thing. Our lips were inches away from the fruitful kiss that I wanted. Rhine closed her eyes waiting for me to complete the action. Just as I was about to close our lips together. I felt some pathing on my shoulders. I ignore it, as I was about to kiss her. I heard all kinds of strange noises coming. From the castle.
When out of nowhere Kartos ran towards me, "Ascais!!! You". He had drawn his sword out of his scabbard running towards the young couple, his words were roaring them to stop. The action was far from over. Rhine and, we both glanced at each other both looking at each other. We couldn't control our feelings. Out of nowhere Rhine grabbed my mouth and kissed me. It was so passionate. I felt the rubbing of her soft smooth lips rubbing against mine. I could be doing it all the time. The feeling was short but left an everlasting impression on me. When I looked at Rhine, I saw her face. Her face of the lady which I so loved, Which I so love and which I will love.
On the other end, Kartos had fallen. He was freaked out at the event which occurred. His body had lost all sense of reasoning. He couldn't even manage to walk and thus stumbled on the drawbridge and fell out of it. The banging of his body against the rocks was heard all around the town surrounding it.
On the 15th of August, In the RA year of 2568. Rhine and I had the 1st of our many passionate romantic moments.
I was shocked even before I knew it Rhine had drawn out her mouth back to her original starting point, I was not happy with this. I was upset at it. I wanted to enjoy the feeling for some more minutes. The warm feeling of her small and petite lips had vanished.
I closed my eyes imagining the feeling, this was the best day in 17 years of my life, I wish I can spend my remaining 500 years in the same way. I wish.
