We both saw the girls and children talking to Noelle joyfully; some of them smiled and chuckled. Noelle noticed us. She looked like she thought of something and proceeded to talk to other girls; they all had the same shocked expression, and some of them hysterically laughed and others blushed. 'She's done it again.'
I thought I didn't know the context of this, but it's probably related to both of us. I looked at him and saw his face flush. My mind went blank. The cold president is thawing out. He had never had this kind of expression before. He did say he was also not human. Did he gain some super-hearing powers? I'm really curious: 'What did she say?'
I walked faster toward Noelle, and I arrived before her. She looked at me smiling, like she never did any mischief. I asked her, "What did you tell them?" with scrutiny and curiosity. She answered honestly, "The two married couples have finally finished their business; the wife has been punished." She said that, and I looked at her like she had made a mistake. "What wife? Are you married?"
I lied; I know what she's talking about, but I chose to stay oblivious because he hadn't clarified that he loved me yet. I can tell that he knew I wasn't ready to have a relationship. I'm really insensitive, but knowing I'm one does mean I am not that unconcerned. I did love him for the 21 lives we had.
She looks at me like I'm crazy and says, "You... how did you not notice anything at all!? He is pretty much wanting to eat—" She was just talking forcefully when she stopped all of a sudden. I looked at her eyes; she was looking behind me stiffly. Then she changed the topic and sighed. "Stop doing reckless things; you're going to bring the whole world into chaos," she said with a serious face.
I didn't believe her, then laughed at her face. "Why would that happen? It's not like I'm that important, just a simple count's daughter—well, not anymore, just a girl that people choose to behead because of her notorious behavior," I proudly said sarcastically. I felt someone behind me, then someone said next to my ear "The girl that sacrificed herself to save the life of a blessed hero that would end the demon lord's life". My eyes widened, and I got shivers. I've got a bad feeling about this.
I escaped Christian's side and ran up behind Noelle's; she just looked at me like, 'Why the heck, I didn't sign up for this?' I apologetically looked at her, then looked away and bared my gaze on him. "Don't come up behind me like that," I said to him. He looked me dead in the eye. I stared straight at him, and then both of us never blinked, like fighting authority. He looked away first, and I smiled. "Heyyy… We are not here for a vacation; let's get moving out of here; the sun is about to rise," said Noelle. I looked at her expression, like she had enough of being a third wheel.
I refocused my attention on the girls and children. Noelle already talked to them; most of them don't have homes, so the children at a younger age can be at the orphanage, and then she gave the children at a higher age and girls some options. She said they could join her in working at her business; people will help them learn things that they need to do; the church can also help with being a holy knight or holy maiden if you join them; they all took their choices. I noticed that little spunky brat look at me and say, I want to be with her."
All people looked at him. Christian was expelling some cold air around him again. I looked at the little brat and said, "But I don't want to, and do you even know who I am?" I said it in a teasing tone. He was speechless; he looked embarrassed, but he still insisted, "I want to be with you." He looked up with determination and respect. I looked down, then asked him, "Hmm... so what can you do for me?" He panicked; he looked flustered, and I laughed, "Brat, do your best; I will come looking for you." His eyes sparkled like he saw something he looked forward to, and I find it adorable.
He chose to join the church to become a holy knight. Christian is gone. I can't see him probably talking to his guards and dealing with the traffickers. I already mentioned the slap that I received. I don't know what he'll do in any case. I didn't care that the bruise was already gone. Some healing ability. This is amazing. Noelle gave guidance to the girls that wanted to work with her. I already heard some of their dreams that being with Noelle could achieve. We walked away from the forest as I explained the situation of being a holy knight. One of my jobs before being part of the church was to explain that having a noble blood can achieve them, we walked away the forest as i explained the situation about being a holy knight, one of my job before being part of the church having a noble blood can have a great chance of having holy powers, i know informations in the church that i can explain to this children i told them that being a holy knight you must have a great amount of belief. I told them that the belief doesn't have to be the lord in the church itself. They all got interested in my instruction. All beliefs vary depending on what you want to fight for and what you most feared. I explained it in more detail, and they all looked at me like saints. I'm used to being looked at like this, but I never tried to understand why. As I'm done explaining, we arrived out of the forest and saw the sunrise. The orange sky took my breath away.
