Chapter 9 - Chapter Nine

~Mr Angel~

In the evening, Niamh left to the Mist Forest with her basket to get some wild fruits. The forest is near a waterfall- the waterfall that links the Moon Realm and the Calm Region through the north. Niamh always comes to the waterfall and watch for some moments before getting the wild fruits. That place is safe and quite, open for anyone in need of wild fruits. Though the Calm Region is blessed with nature, no one needs to come to the forest specifically to get wild fruits, perhaps only Niamh does that. Niamh hummed a song as she plucked the fruits.

Lansel and his shadow guard, Severus were taking a walk just behind the Calm Region College, chatting about some random stuffs. Marius took a different route but Severus won't agree to leave Lansel's side. 

"You know what, Severus?" Lansel asked, glancing briefly at him.

"No, Your Grace"

"You are the most annoying person I have ever met" Lansel stated and Severus froze in the spot.

"Ah... That's thrilling to hear. I'm flattered, My Prince" Severus stuttered and laughed awkwardly.

Prince Lansel rolled his eyes and teleported to God-knows-where, leaving behind the frozen Severus. Like prince Lansel just disappeared.

"How now, are you looking for someone? You must be new here" someone spoke behind Severus and he flinched. He turned to see a pretty young lady with a shining black hair and transparent black eyes. She's so cute and adorable. Severus' Adam apple moved up and down as he stared at the girl in front of him. He even forgot she asked him a question.

"I'm talking to you, hey!" Sshe snapped with a frown and he snapped back to reality.

"N..no..ye...yes. I mean what?" Severus stuttered in confusion. He lost his tongue for a moment and now, he doesn't even know what to say. 

"I asked if you are new here" she repeated and Severus fingered his blonde hair.

"Ay, can you show me around?" He asked, the lady hesitated for a while before nodding.

"Severus" he introduced, taking her hand and kissing her knuckles. The lady smiled charmingly and replied 

"Aine (Awn-yah)" 

"O-yah?"

"Awn-yah" she corrected and Severus nodded repeatedly.

Marius was wandering around to nowhere in particular when he saw a weapon store. He paused and entered the store to sharpen his dagger. He's always find of sharpening his dagger on a rock, every morning but decided to try out the store since this is his first time in the Calm Region.

"Welcome, how may I help you?" The old man who is the shop owner beamed.

Marius walked towards him and thrusted the dagger in front of him "I want it sharpened" he said coldly. That's Marius, one of the most stern warriors in the Moon Realm. 

The old man's eye caught the symbol of the Moon Realm on his dagger and he stared up at Marius in confusion. Marius on the other hand tilted his head and narrowed his gaze. The old man gulped down and smiled, nodding. 

Placing his palm on his dagger, an invisible force swept him up and hit him on the wall behind him, meters away. 

Marius smirked as the old man groaned painfully

"Ghost! I can't sharpen thus knife!" He whimpered. Marius shook his head and picked up his dagger. He shot the old man a stare and left.

"What a lowlife, a single dagger is enough to bring you down"

Aoife was walking into her father's weapon store when she saw her Mr Angel walking out. She gasped, eyes widened but Marius didn't even spare her a glance as he walked away. 

"Mr Angel!" She called and ran after him but rarely caught him due to his speed. 

"Mr Angel! Mr Angel!" She yelled, running after him. She finally reached him and grabbed his arm but Marius turned swiftly and pinned her on the wall, pointing a dagger on her neck.

Aoife's eyes were bulging out of their sockets as she stared into Marius' fiery eyes. 

"Hey, don't kill me please. Let me go, please" she pleaded, her hands in the mid -air. 

"Who are you and why are you stalking me?" His deep angry voice rang into her ears and she shuddered in fear.

"I wasn't stalking you, I promise. Just let me go" Aoife pleaded again.

Marius glared at her and let go fibher, sheathing his dagger. He turned to leave but was stopped by Aoife's voice

"Can't you at least tell me your name? I've never seen you" 

Marius turned to her and smirked dangerously. "I just let you go and you're so bold, should I just kill you?" He drawer his swords this time and Aoife screamed

"No no no, I apologise, just go" she clasped her palms together. Just like that, Marius left. 

Aoife bit her lower lip, slapping her forehead 'you are always putting yourself in trouble ee-fah!"

"But he's too handsome to let go of"
