[ Rudra POV ]
I felt guilty right now, I don't know what was I thinking, I just fucked myself up.
I noticed one though this red string is influencing my thoughts and actions somehow, I need to consult sera about it.
Otherwise I read it in the Library of Eternity
That fate has little to no influence over someone strong enough to overcome adversity. But destiny is a different thing, even gods are subtly influenced by destiny.
But I should be beyond the influence of fate then how.
"Mmmnnm…mn" I got lost in thought but was brought back by the sound of Akeno's gagged voice.
" Sorry! Sorry!. Miss, will you calm down a little" I asked hoping to make her listen to me. But she just started to struggle more and that damn rope that I tied her by the influence of the so called fate. It tightened around her body. Making her look more erotic and her curves looked more pronounced, it also tightened around her crotch area her face flushed.
I am having trouble understanding is it from shame or from arousal?, because from the anime I understand that she was a huge pervert and sadistic while also being a masochist.
' NO.! NO.! what the hell I am thinking, I am a gentleman I can't think like that about someone's preference' If Akeno were to hear his internal monologue she would say.
' Bastard if you are a gentleman , then why the hell did you tie me like this can't you tie me normally. You horny dog..!'
Shaking my head I cleared my thoughts and looked at her. She was still struggling.
Watching her like that was making my mind go haywire, I snapped my fingers and the rope around her vanished in thin air, I made her float using gravity magic.
*Snap*
" Gravity magic: Zero gravity"
She still had the mouth plug which with another snap of my finger vanished. She finally relaxed after the restraint was removed but I can also see she had a look of regret on her face as lost something precious.
Then realising she can speak again she snapped her head in my direction and asked cautiously.
" W- Who are you..!, and what do you want..?" She tried to gain her footing by flapping her wings but she couldn't get her wings to listen to her, her mana was also out of control.
*Sigh*
" Listen to me, miss… I am not an enemy. I arrived here by coincidence, not intentionally." I said in a polite tone trying to sound as innocent as possible.
" Hmph..Do you expect me to believe your sugar coated words..!! After what you did to me and if are not an enemy than why the hell did you hide you face and are still restraining me. Ha.!" She snorted with thorny words.
" If you are not an ene– !"
Guess I have no choice then, I removed my cap in the middle of her speech, which caused her to halt in the middle of her speech.
[ Akeno POV ]
' Oh .. Satan, Ha- Handsome' That was the only word that came in her mind when she saw the face of her assailant, he has smooth silky black hair and a pair of black eyes which feels like if she were to gaze directly at them she would be sucked in by them.
She can feel her face heat up and flushed.
The boy, not the man in front of her , was so handsome that even the Greek god looked pale in comparison to him, now that she looked carefully she noticed the muscles straining under his track clothes.
The words she was about to say, she totally forgot it and kept staring at his face with mouth wide open, a healthy blush on her cheeks and her heart pounding like.
'Doki~Doki~'
*Cough*
She got out of her stupur, as he grabbed her attention by Cough then said respectfully.
" Miss.. I don't know who you are but, I am sorry if I intruded in your home I was just passing by after my running there i noticed a stairs hidden in the woods and just by curiosity I went ahead and came up here but you attacked me without asking anything suddenly so, reflexively I had to use strength to subsidue you."
" I am really really sorry if I have offended you, if you want to punish me I am ready to pay rumination for the damage done here by your spells" She listened to the man in daze, somehow when he apologised she felt hurt, she doesn't know why.
She is still a single woman who has never fallen in love and although she wouldn't proclaim to have a world toppling beauty she can definitely and proudly say she has a great body which can make any man drool with lust.
And all her life she had only seen the opposite sex as some sort of nuisance as , whenever they approached her they always eyed her body like a dog in heat they couldn't help but think with their lower body. She was disgusted by the lecherous gaze contained in their eyes and she had never met anyone of the opposite gender who didn't eyed her with lust and this is not the problem with only her.
Even her king and some of her other friends have experienced the same thing and consider man as a toy and used them for their benefit.
But the man in front of her didn't have a shred of lust in his eyes and even when he bounded in rope she can somehow feel that he doesn't have any Ill will towards her and it was by reflex that he did that.
After all this time she had become very sensitive to the feeling and eyes of people directed at her, so she is sure that the man was telling the truth.
" T-then can you let me down, it is uncomfortable here.." she said in a whisper not being able to look into his eyes.
She also thought that her actions were not like herself, otherwise she is calm and collected in most of the situations and she didn't arbitrarily attack anybody like that.
Although the Barrier she placed at here didn't stop anyone from wandering here, they stopped at the gate of the shrine and the effect of the barrier made them avoid the shrine and only wander in the surrounding area.
Akeno also understood that the man in front of her isn't only godly handsome but also he is a lot stronger than her. She agreed to this whole heartedly as he swatted her spell like fly and Handled her like a child.
With a simple gesture of his finger she slowly descended to the ground and heaved a sigh of relief. After a deep breath she saw the man once again bowing his head and apologise.
" I am sorry once again for the way I treated you." She felt that she was one wronging him so, she also said.
" You don't need to apologise any more, it was also my fault for attacking you without asking your motive and you don't need to compensate me for anything" She bowed a little and apologised for her arbitrary action.
" Then I would like to go, I am running late and my family might wonder where I went." The man talked about his family which made Akeno remember her mother. She became a little sad as the man turned around and was about to leave.
But suddenly as if remembering something he turned around and said with a wry smile.
" Ah..and Miss -"
"Akeno Himejima that is my name and you can call me Akeno" She had forget to introduce herself she felt embarrassed and with her heart pounding every time she looked into his face and eyes didn't help either.
" Oo .. Sorry I forgot to introduce myself, My name is Tenjou Yuuya but I would like it if you call me Rudra" Rudra said to which she Muttered under her breath.
" Rudra Kun"
" I wanted to request you to keep my existence a secret as you can probably guess that I am aware of the supernatural but I don't like being involved with them."
Rudra said to which Akeno though ' That makes sense otherwise I would have known there was a man the strong roaming in the Kuho city without any supervision'
She smiled wryly wondering if her king knew about a man this strong she would try to recruit him in her peerage. A little conflicted with the request because she can't lie to her king and best friend if she asked but she also doesn't want to deny the request of the man in front of her for some reason.
While she was torn between making her decision Rudra spoke while thinking of a idea.
" If you can keep my identity secret than I will give you a compensation here"
After saying that, suddenly the whole area was filled with magic circles and he chanted some spell which she couldn't understand even with her Devil's language skill.
Suddenly there was a small tremor in the ground and the barrier that Akeno placed broke, and instead a transparent barrier emerged which was hundred of times stronger than the previous Barrier.
" This barrier is stronger and more powerful than the previous one and it will keep this area safe." Saying so he vanished leaving behind Akeno with a wide open mouth and eyes.
