CHAPTER 4

"Where have you been? We've been looking for you everywhere"

"I just saw a kitty who's in troubled then I saved it "

"Kitty? what?"

"Seriously, where have you been all this time?"

"I just told you, I met an aggressive kitty, interesting one...*smirk* "

"*sigh~* Whatever, Oh yeah, we already tracked the illegal immigrants in this area, the reason why they're so hard to find is they disguised theirselves as a Auctioneers, it's just a simple store when you looked at the outside, but it's not, so what do we do?...Ash? Hey! Ash! Are you even listening?!"

"It's useless, Ganter. Ash is totally out of the world right now."

"Awww~ look how he's grinning, so creepy~"

"Shut up Lesh! you're noisy!"

"bleh bleh bleh! whatever you say Kian! right Nestia~?"

" *roll eyes *"

"Anyways, Ganter with regards with the investigation, observe the place first then report to me immediately besides with their illegal immigrants fake pass like what other illegal activities, by then let me do the honor in welcoming them in entering...hell...*smirk* "

"I'm still not used to it...looking at ash while his deadly red eyes are glimmering"

"You're right...eekk!~"

...MEANWHILE AT HERMOSILLIO ESTATE...

Agatha is at her study room with baron Yujin, she knew Baron Yujin knows alot about even the history of Hestia Empire. Agatha asked about when and how the Empire started to reigned. They were discussing the lands that the Hestia Empire conquered by the previous Emperors for the past years and how Hestia Empire changed through those years.

"Hestia Empire had been through alot, they went numerous wars, and the deadliest war that had been done in the century is the war among the Inilial."

"Inilial? Are they the land that is very strict with regards with their ethics, principles and beliefs?" Inilial Land the Goddess they worship was Goddess Athena , it is found at the west side portion of the continent, along with the coastal area, this where most season of drought happens, however after so many years the people who live there can now adapt with the environment, for the wisdom of their Goddess shared upon them. Inilial was the strongest land before Hestia came at the picture.

A very long time ago, before the Emperors reign Hestia empire, elders have said that there was an ancient history of the Empire before it was born. According to the ancient stories, The Goddess Hestia was the one who ruled the land of the empire back then, the empire before was merely a piece of land that was given to the Goddess to protect and nurture. Each land has its own God or Goddess to protect and nurture, as what the powerful being instructed them, However one day a man appeared at the land and saw the Goddess, They both saw each other at the waterfall and immediately fell in love, for her beautiful glimmering red eyes and very long silk red hair. By then he visited Goddess Hestia countless times and followed her everywhere she goes, he shares his food to her to eat, blankets to warm her figurine body, and tell her his adventures all over the other lands however the man didn't knew that the lady he saw, Hestia was a Goddess. The Goddess hide the truth to the man. Little by little, the Goddess too, fell inlove with the wanderer and conceived a child, A child with a golden hair like the man and glimmering red eyes just like the Goddess, they both nurtured the child until it grows so perfectly and they named their son Arthur Hestia. However, both the powerful being and other God and Goddess opposes their love for each other. They decided to punished the Goddess for committing a forbidden sin. The punishment was given to the Goddess was her soul will be remained at the land and no one could ever find her or remember her. The man and the Goddess promised that whatever they do and wherever they are and whom they met , they promise to keep the love in their hearts. Due to the strong bond and love of the father and son to the Goddess, they couldn't forgotten her. Their son went to other land, For he couldn't believe what the Gods and Goddesses did to his mother, so he decided to find his mother in the other lands to find clues however years passed by, in the end he couldn't find anything, instead he conquered the lands of the Gods and Goddesses, even their magical powers then returned home. And that's where the First Emperor of Hestia Empire born, He named his Empire 'Hestia' in order for the people to remember that there was a Goddess that sacrifices her soul to protect her family. While his father, he grows old without loving anyone other than the Goddess, for he promised that he will only love his wife until death do they part, then he died in peace. The Emperor, their son, knew that his father and mother is together wherever they are, so he promised to protect the empire and their love will always be remembered.

...AGATHA'S POV...

"Baron Yujin, Why among the wars of Hestia empire with Inilial is the deadliest?"

"You know, Goddess Athena right? Back then, Inilial almost wiped out in the map and becomes a dead land, but then all thanks to Goddess Athena, she shared her wisdom and courage to them in order to survived the people living there, so thus, they were able to adapt to their environment. However, there are still people who uses their given powers into wrongdoings, The Fourth king of the Inilial, King Shamal was vicious and greedy man."

"Vicious and greedy?..."

"Yes, one of the people that the Goddess gaves her power was Perashia Shamal the deceased third king and the father of the fourth king, King Preluka Shamal. The Third king is a wise man, very compassionate towards his people however his son thought that his father is a weak man and only using his powers to useless people, so King Preluka Shamal used his inherited power for his own interests, so he decided to kill his own father and make himself the King by then, he uses his authority and power to control his people, he drown himself into alot of alcohol, He makes his own harem and He kills alot of people because the reason that...he just wanted to."

"What?! isn't that just injustice?! especially, to his people! He don't deserve to be-!"

"'To be a king?' Well, no one dares to speak ill infront of King or Emperor, if they dare, if will be meaningless and pointless, since in the eyes of King Preluka, his people are just toys that can easily be manipulate. That's how the world works before, anyways, due to King Preluka Shamal's selfishness and arrogance he declared war to Hestia Empire, for he thought that he could get whatever he wants however, at that time the one seated at the throne is Emperor Arthur, First Emperor of Hestia Empire."

"According to the the the books that I've read, Emperor Arthur was very brave, a wise man and very powerful leader."

"That's certainly correct, Also according to the story, Emperor Arthur was a son of a Goddess in which he also shares the power of his mother, after he conquered the lands of the Gods and Goddesses to look for clues about his mother."

I've also read that on the books, Arthur Hestia, was born as a result of sin, his father was a human while his mother is the Goddess. Does loving someone with unequal rights deserves to be punished? It was indeed unfortunate for Emperor Arthur that he lost both of his parents, however he remained a dignified man and powerful leader that leads his people to where we are right now. wait, how did he manage to do it alone? or wasn't he alone?

"Baron Yu-"

"My lady you could call me Yujin, it feels so uncomfortable, you call my name with my title..."

"O-oh sorry...y-yujin..."

"Yes, My lady? *smile* "

Too bright! too bright!

"Anyways, how did Emperor Arthur manage to conquer the lands alone?"

he looks at me so serious as if I asked so stupidly...

"My lady, didn't you know?"

"hm???"

"My lady, Emperor Arthur was not alone when he conquered those lands, to be exact, your house, Hermosillio was along side with the Emperor since the beginning..."

"Wh-WHAT?!"

" *sighs~* My lady, you should've known you family history, since you are an Hermosillio, It will be disgrace to your family if ypu don't know its background... I must take my leave, I took too much of my time here, If you excuse me..."

What does he mean by that??? This is the first time I've heard about it, even in my previous life, I read alot of books but I didn't encounter that! hmmm

"Ah wait baro-! Y-yujin, I want to ask about my family's prophecy"

"My lady, its your family not mine"

"and its your duty to teach your students *smirk* "

"And it's your duty to study and to learn your family's background and prophecy"

"stingy~"

Yujin laughs, wow, this is the first time I saw him laughing I must admit, he looks cute when he smiles more. Everytime we meet he always put a serious face, That's why I wonder if he's having hard life or something lately. After our lesson, I was called by my father at his office, I knocked at the door then when I came in, I saw a man standing infront of my father's desk and my father was seated on his chair. The man was wearing a long cape colored blue with a crest of Blue Aquila.

Blue knights are the knights that is under our family's command, my father used to be the Head Commander but it is my First Older brother that took the position of Head Commander after my father retired, there were three knight colors to be exact, The Yellow Knights, Blue Knights and the Red Knights. The Yellow knights are called the Leon, Blue knights are called Aquila and the Red knights are called Aurora, I don't know why among the two divisions, the red knights has its different name, Leon is Lion, Aquila is Eagle then how about the Aurora?

"Agatha, come in"

"Y-yes Father" I didn't see clearly the face of the knight because of the light that reflected on the windows to my father's. It hurts in the eyes to be honest, I just close my eyes then all of a sudden, someone grabbed my hands and shake it up and down so strongly, I'm getting dizzy all of a sudden this man surely have a strong-arm then while he's destroying my hands, I heard his voice, it somehow familiar to me, when I opened my eyes I saw Felix, Felixian Graham, he was the son of Juli, our head butler.

"F-F-Felix?! w-what are you doing here?"

"Gee~ it's been a long time since we last met, how have you been aggy? HAHAHA"

"Uhmm, F-Felix...ahh...ehh" I just felt my Father's enormous magic air behind Felix, it seems like my father wants to kill someone right now, he..he..he...

"Ahem!"

then Felix let go of my hands, seemed like he sense my Father's magic air was piercing behind his back. Thank goodness he's not that dense.

"Ahem! It seems like you are very close to Agatha, Felixian"

"wha-what do you mean, my lord...ha...ha...ha"

"Agatha, I want you to go to Blue Division's training ground, I would like Felixian to accompany you while going there"

what? did I just hear it right? Father is giving me permission to go out, I don't know why, but what I'm feeling right now is I'm so happy, I couldn't help but to feel so overwhelmed, I was just thinking how would I convince father and mother to gave me permission to gonout, but here we are.

"What's wrong, Agatha? Do you hate the idea? if you dont want-!"

"No, no...I mean, I gladly accept your offer, your excellency, I must go back in my room to prepare, If you excuse me..." I bowed down then I turned around, then I thought if Its alright to say this, it just that I wanted to say this...

"Thank you...papa" I smiled at my father and it seems like he was shocked when I said 'Thank you' or was it because I called him 'papa' anyways, I left the room. I immediately looked for Eli and shared her what Father just did then I told her to prepare some food, it will be rude to went at the training ground of the blue division empty - handed. I'm not just happy that father is letting me go outside, I'm happy because somehow I felt that father trusted me, It's alright if he doesn't fully trusted me yet, besides this is a new beginning. I can take this little by little. I wonder what Blue knight division would look like? I never once saw them even in my previous life or even dare to step on their training grounds,Oh yes, maybe First Brother will be there...First Older Brother, huh...

When I was about to ride the carriage, there is already a person inside of it, it was Kiara. What does she doing here?

...KIARA'S POV...

I heard that Agatha will be going to blue knight division training grounds and I heard that Father given his permission to let Agatha go outside, this was never happen before, I know for the fact that they wouldn't like to expose Agatha at the public, then why now?! I have to do something, I can't let her do whatever she wants.

"Hey there sister?~" Huh? who is that knight behind Agatha? This is the first time I see him in here and he is a knight, he belongs to the Blue knights Division.

"What are doing here Kiara?" She said it so bluntly, with a straight looking face.

"I heard that father given you permission to go out, so~ I've been wondering if you would like a compa-"

"Companion? If you're talking about companion I have already two of them, Eli and Sir Felixian, I guess there's no room for you to come" Wh-What?! This bitch! What's wrong with her lately?!

"Now, if you don't have anything to say, could you please get down at the carriage? my time is precious, you see. I don't like to waste my time." She just brushed me off like that! They left me here so embarrassing! No, I won't admit defeat yet, I don't know what's going with the head of yours Agatha but I'll make sure that you will go down before me. Before that, I think I should visit that person, maybe he could help me.

I asked the butler to prepare me another carriage, he asked me where will I be going, I just told him that I just going to the center plaza, but the truth is I am not. I went to the south plaza and stopped by at a Jewelry store that was far from close to the center plaza, this store was never been changed since then. Tsk! if it wasn't because of Agatha I wouldn't be here again at the rotten place like this.

...AGATHA'S POV...

Thank God, she didn't insisted to come, what a relief.

"Wasn't that the Madam adopted? What's her name again? Hmmmm??? ...." Felix said. Felix been so far away these past few years, then these past few weeksI heard that they were investigating something at the dark forest, I never knew what it was because it was remained secret even in my previous life. I wonder what could it be?

"Sir Felixian, that was Kiara Ginger, since you are back in long journey you must have known the name before coming at the estate. because it is very rude, especially infront of my lady" Eli strongly suggest, I feel like Felix is been scolded by Eli.

"S-sorry, Aggy"

"Its f-!" Eli slapped Felix at his shoulder and even scolding him for being rude to me just because Felix called me by my nickname, although, I gave him permission to. Eli is being so strict again.

"What do you call to my lady?!!!"

"Wh-what's wrong for calling Agatha 'aggy'?" Felix seems to be so scared at Eli.

"What's wrong, you say~! Who do ypu think you're talking to? Don't act so friendly with my lady!"

"Hmph! you are just being like that because you are jealous at me!" proudly said by Felix.

"Je-jealous?!!! who such fool would be jealous in someone like you, sir Felix!" They are arguing nonstop, it's getting so noisy inside the carriage, I would've known that this will happen *sigh~* we've been together since we were little, back then it was just me and Eli, we used to play around inside my room and no other places to go since I was not allowed to go outside, Then he knocked at my door and visited me countless times and I still remembered the first words that Felix said to me.

"Aren't you sad being here all day?...Do you want to go outside and play? Let's go! "

All thanks to Felix's character he somehow pulled us out of that suffocating room. He taught me to run along the hallways, He taught me to hide to the headmaid and to juli, we even played at the garden and he taught me to have fun however those moments it ended in just one day, I collapsed and got sick the next day, it was severe, everyone was so worried about me. The moment I opened my eyes, Eli was beside me worried and crying but I didn't saw Felix, the next thing I know he was scolded and punished because of me. I...couldn't get to say sorry to him, I felt that he won't forgive me because of that, he got hurt because of me, because of my selfishness everybody around me got hurt.

It's awkward between us that's why I avoided him till now, I feel like I want to run fast, away from here, I just don't want to make him more angry to me.

"Right Aggy!" They both said my nickname. I was quite shocked. I didn't say any words until we arrived at the training grounds. I went down the carriage and looked so amazed because how big the entrance for the Aquila Division is.

"Wow~ was this usually big?" I've said.

"You'll get used to it haha" Felix responded.

We went inside and seems like everyone is staring at us, I wonder what's wrong? Wait, Was it wrong for us to come here without further notice?! Oh my God! What should I do? should I go home? but I already come at this far...but things will get awkward...but I really do want to go here~ huhu what should I do?!!!

"Relax~! no one's gonna yell at you here." Felix just comforted me with his words. He is still the Felix that I knew.

"B-but they were staring at me as if it I came at the wrong time"

"huh? what do you mean?...oh! that? they were just-"

"E-Excuse me, b-but could I ask you a question?" someone appeared infront of us and it seems like he's kinda nervous.

"Yes please do so."

"Are- are you perhaps L-Lady Agatha?" How does he know my name? I'm pretty sure that this is the first time I met him.

"Yes, Yes I am."

Then I've heard such noise around us, they were the knights, they're hiding to the point that I couldn't see them at all, but I can sense them through their magical air.

"Hey! what do you bastards looking at?! It is such disrespectful not to show courtesy infront of a lady!"

They were murmuring, I guessed, They didn't do something wrong this is the first time I've showed my face to them, I wouldn't blame them for that, then I should just introduce myself to them for them to recognize me.

"Greetings Blue Knights, Aquila Division, May the burning grace of Goddess Hestia shine upon you, I, Agatha Aglaia Hermosillio from the House of Hermosillio, Humbly apologize for coming without prior notice." I bowed at them with courtesy. After I bowed at them they seemed to be shocked, there mouths are wide open.

"M-m-m-m-my lady! why did you do that?!" Eli is showing a weird face, while me I'm still confused to what is happening right now, did I do something wrong? I just wanted to greet them or wasn't I supposed to do that? All of a sudden I heard some loud footstep coming in our way then I looked in front the blue knights are bending down their knee infront of me, somehow the situation puts me in awkward position, usually a knight will be kneeling down only to their head commander or any member of the the royal family to give respect.

"We're very sorry young lady for showing such a disgrace gesture, in return, you could tell us what punishment would be suitable for us."

w,what?! what are they saying? punishment? what? are they out of their minds?!

"I-it's fine, you didn't do anything wrong perhaps I was the one who is wrong, hope you could forgive me" When I said that, the look at their faces is somehow telling me that 'there's an angel, right before us' something like that.

"What's the ruckus all about?" All of a sudden very stern man voice speak out of nowhere, the knights seemed to be panicking, their faces are turning blue, they stand up and salute, even Felix did it too. I, for the fact I know that they only do that kind of gesture only to their Head Commander.

"O-Older brother...?"

"Agatha?"

It is indeed, My First Older brother, Head Commander of Blue Knights, Aquila Division, Albert Luther Hermosillio.

"What are you doing here, Agatha?" I never had bad or good memories of my brother in my previous life, he was never give attention to me, he didn't care about me at all, I guess...

"Father told me to go here, I hope I don't disturb you, Look, I bought you food, I bought it because I know the knight would be very hung-" Then brother took the basket that I bought, I was shocked when he did that, then all of the knights are saying things about my brother, taking the foods that was supposedly belongs to them.

"You don't have to bring anything to those useless knights, I'll be confiscating this instead." Eh? EHHH?~ why does he acting so childish like that? just because of the food?! just for food?! No, Agatha remember my brother is very mature and dignified man but why does he looking at me like this, he is staring at me so seriously, as if he wants to say something to me.

"I-is there something you want to say, B-brother?" I smiled at my brother, then he turned his face around and I learned new side about my brother that I never knew before, his ears turns red when he is shy or embarrassed. How cute.

"I wouldn't take too much of your time, I must take my leave."

"If you want my lady, you could visit our division whenever you want!" the knights suggested. I never had known so much people like them, however looking at them they seem to be looking forward in meeting me again, I too, I'm looking forward in meeting them again in the future. I was about to leave the division but all of a sudden...

"You don't have to visit them...instead you could go straight away to my office. I'll prepare you something in return" On that moment, the brother that I used to know that is very stern like my father, was hiding this kind of expression. I thought I knew everything about my brother, he never showed any expression or emotion infront of me, that's why, I jumped in the conclusion that he hated me. No, he must be hated me, I know that he gives much attention to kiara rather than to me. I must not be swayed by this feeling. Remember Agatha, keeping your family is your priority, you didn't go back in time just to regain their love or affection. I shouldn't asked anything more than this. This is more than enough.

"You should've said that to kiara, not to me brother."

"what?"

"Have a good day."

"M-My lady?..." I immediately returned at the carriage. On the way back, I told Eli and Felix that I want to go the plaza, they easily agreed to my request. I wore my cloak to hide my appearance to people, it will be hard in letting the people know that there's a noble lady wandering in a broad daylight. I went to the center fountain of the plaza, The Dream Fountain, the stories said, if you make a wish at full moon just tossed a coin, pray and whatever you wish, it will surely come true. This is a childish thing to believe, still people easily believe in such thing, but I guess no one would possibly believe in what happened to me, they might call me 'insane'.

I sat on the fountain, while the water is flowing down on it. Children are laughing and playing around, they seems so happy...being free. Until now, what could've I done in the past? I thinking so much, it makes me worry somehow.

"Elizabeth"

"Could you buy us some food to eat, I'm really hungry, you know"

"Wh-what?! who do-! Fine! My lady, I'll be back, just wait in here okay? don't go anywhere." Then Eli left, it's only me and Felix are here. I don't know what to talk about, I don't even have anything to say from the start.

"It's been so long, huh..." Felix said. I didn't respond Felix, I just remained silent.

"How are you doing these past few years?" Why do you keep talking Felix? It just making me in hard position, don't make me remind of what happened back then.

"You know...it's not your fault, what happened back then, I mean" I was shocked, I suddenly felt so furious and anger, or was it anger that what I'm feeling right now. I look at Felix and he was looking at me too with straight serious expression.

"Aggy...My lady, I'm going to repeat what I have said It is not-"

"How can you..."

"huh?"

"How can you say that so easily?!" My tears run down through my cheeks, I suddenly felt so hot. I couldn't stop, the tears just continuously pouring down at my face, I clenched my fist. I want to leave!, I want to run!, I want to hide!, I'm scared!

" Why do you keep running away? "

" F-Felix?"

"Why do you have to carry all those burden all by yourself? Why do you have to run away? It's not your fault, Agatha! As a matter of fact, the day you collapsed and got sick, It was my fault! I didn't know anything, I put you...I put you in dangerous situation!...that day..."

Felix was infront of me and looking at me like with grieving face, I feel that he was deeply hurt while saying those words he was holding me in both arms, but not too strong.

"That day...I thought that you're going to die, that's why I distance myself from you, I keep blaming myself for what happened that day, I couldn't do anything to help you. I decided that before I show myself to you again, I have to be strong, I have to be strong to protect you."

"F-Felix..."

"That's why, You don't have to run away, stop running away Agatha! Why do you keep hiding everything to yourself?"

Felix was right. What I was doing? Why do I keep entangled of the past? I keep worrying about what will going to happen, I am being selfish right now, I understand what Felix is trying to say, I touched Felix's hand so tightly and looked at him then slightly smiled at him. I still don't know what should I answer Felix to his compelling reasons.

"I...I want to be alone for a second, Felix, please don't follow me..."

"Wait, My lady...Agatha!"

Then I left Felix, for the time being I just wanted to be alone and think things clearly. Somewhat there's this feeling in my heart that wants to be free, I want to tell Felix and Eli, everything, but what if they won't believe me? what if, the moment I tell them the truth, everything falls back from the start? I hate it. I hate this feeling, the feeling of uncertainty.

Then I realized I reached a place that I was not very familiar of. For all I know, looking at the surroundings, this should be the south plaza. it's far from the center plaza and this place only has few people at all, this place is very quiet, all I could see is druken men, some are hiding in alley and some are just inside of their houses. Better not make an appearance, It would be dangerous if they knew a noble lady wandering here alone, when was I about to leave, I saw Kiara leaving in a store, i immediately hide so that she wouldn't know that I was here, however what does Kiara doing in this kind of place? and it seems like she is very familiar from here.

I followed her, then she suddenly stopped, I knew that she knows that someone is following her, but could I hide? Oh no! she shouldn't know that I am here, where to hide! I was panicking until someone just grabbed my hand and placed his hand into my mouth, I was resisting him, I'm using my strength to this person, who could this be? is he one of Kiara's men? Oh no! did they found out about me?! what should I do?!

"You better keep quiet or else we will be discovered" he whispered into my ears, I know this voice! I smacked him in his stomach then he immediately released me.

"I...I know you! your that perverted man last time!"

"per-? pfft! Hahahahahaha!" He laughed so hard, I immediately cover his mouth, for the reason that Kiara might hear us.

"Shh~! don't laugh so hard, someone might hear you!" He looked at me then hold my hands to release me while holding him.

"I didn't know you are quite so bold for being a lady" I blushed to what he said to me, I-I didn't do that on purpose, he-! he is just being so loud! T-that's all!

"Wh-what?! pardon me! why would I even fancy a man that I didn't even know, you and I are just strang-" he pulled me close to him, he pulled my left hand up and his other hand was holding my waist, My eyes are wide open and don't know what's going on!

"it's Ash"He was looking at me so serious with his deep brown eyes, as if I feel like he was pulling me even more close to him, the more we stare each other, the more I'm seeing his face becoming closer and closer to mine.

"Now, my lady knows my name, it would be appropriate to know your name as well." I came back to my senses, Then I pushed him back, for I can be released in his grasp.

"Why would I even tell my name to you?"

"Didn't I just Introduce myself to you?"

"I didn't even ask for it."

"I saved you, twice, oh sorry thrice" Then he smiled at me, what do he thinks he's taking me for? Wait a minute, How would even believe this man, for all I know his name is even fake! besides what does he doing here in south district plaza?

"Fine..." I just have to use other name to say, but what name should I come up? hmmm? WHA! I could think of anything! wait! I know!

"My name is Kiara" It will be a big trouble to know that the young lady of Hermosillio doing such things here at this kind of district or worse if Father knew that I was here he would immediately locked me up again in my room and never show day and night. Besides, Kiara doesn't shows up in any big social gatherings, no one would know her true looks anyway, this is probably the best possible way I could think of, I hate it but it leave me no choice.

"Just 'Kiara' ?"

"Why? you didn't even give your surname so why would I even bother telling mine?"

"Hmmm..."

"what?"

"Nothing, it's just that your name..."

"what's wrong with my name?"

"your name...doesn't suit you at all" My eyes are wide open, I was shocked, does he notice that it wasn't my real name? No, no matter how strong or intelligent he is there's no way he would know that I was just using a fake name.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean what I mean, your name doesn't suit your appearance, but still...I would like to know you even more.*smile* "

"This will be the last time we will meet, there will be no next time, Goodbye!...and thank you for saving me" Then I left him alone in that dark alley. I returned back where Felix and Eli was, they were scolding me for leaving at my own accord they seemed to be so worried about me, anyway, I must returned, the sun is coming down. I must return before it goes dark.

...ASH'S POV...

I met again the girl I saved last time, at first, I was following count crooks and investigating what was he doing here at south district, It is forbidden to anyone to come and enter at this district for a certain reasons, that's why the Emperor order to closed this district at any cost, however somehow somebody is doing things behind the Emperor and disobeying its order. How brave he is.

When I saw that girl I thought that she's doing something, but I saw her following someone too.

"Hmmm~ it seems like we're doing the same thing. How interesting." But I guess she not good at hiding, she is flustered, it seems like the person she was following will found out that he was being followed by that silly girl, heh, let's see how will you going to react if you see me again. I immediately pulled her and covered her mouth to keep her making noise I even told her to keep her voice low or else there will be chances that we might be discovered but the moment I knew she already smacked me at my side part which gives me so much pain, I must say, for lady to have a brute strength, she is indeed a unique woman.

She even call me the pervert she met last time, how could she compare me to those men who chase her last time. I laughed so hard, because of what she said, this lady's nerve to say that I am a pervert. It's been so long since I laughed this hard then all of a sudden she came to me and cover my mouth, I suppose that I laughed so loud, but aside from that this lady is so brave in coming to a man like me that she didn't even know and cover my mouth without hesitation. I must say, this woman is really interesting, those golden-yellow eyes really shines so brighter than any stars. Why do I even saying this cliche things, as if this is the first time I saw woman this close. I guess, I could tease her a little bit.

"I didn't know you are quite so bold for being a lady" I said that just to tease her a little bit but the next thing I knew she blushed so hard, that could make her face like a red tomato. I was amaze by her reaction, I didn't react immediately, it just that...

"Wh-what?! pardon me! why would I even fancy a man that I didn't even know, you and I are just strang-" From that point I pulled closer to me, I couldn't explain what I'm feeling right right, what bothers me the most is what she said that she wouldn't fancy a man like me.

"It's Ash" I told her my name, which I don't usually do especially to those I first met, but why? her face draws me closer and closer to her, those golden-yellow eyes alluring me even more but I should stop from here, I don't want to leave a bad expression to her.

"Now, my lady knows my name, it would be appropriate to know your name as well." then she pushed me so hard, I immediately let her go.

"Why would I even tell my name to you?" she said.

"Didn't I just Introduce myself to you?"

"I didn't even ask for it." heh, feisty, i like it.

"I saved you, twice, oh sorry thrice"

looking at her, she's thinking so hard, its amusing to see what makes this wild kitty to frown like this, she's certainly a weird kitty. But the most weird one is me, why does I found her interesting...

"Fine..." oh~ she said it with confidence.

"My name is...Kiara" 'kiara' ...Huh~ She looks not so serious when she said her name, I sense that kitty is lying to me...should I play a bit?

"Just...kiara?" I said and she said that i didn't even give my surname to her so why would she bother give her surname to me, how funny, this kitty is really something, it clearly show that she's hiding something, and the name 'kiara' doesn't suit her at all especially on her golden yellow eyes.

"Hmmm..."

"what?"

"Nothing, it's just that your name..."

"what's wrong with my name?"

"your name...doesn't suit you at all"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean what I mean, your name doesn't suit your appearance, but still...I would like to know you even more.*smile* " she should take that as a hint already.

"This will be the last time we will meet, there will be no next time, Goodbye!..." Guess, couldn't help with that since she don't want to see me anymore. When I thought she going to leave already, she stopped in the midway, she didn't even turned around, I wonder what's wrong with her?

"and thank you for saving me" then she left so hurriedly, I was left quite shocked to what she said.

"Pfft! HAHAHAHAHA! " Never mind what I said while ago, I wonder when will I able to see her again.

"Wonder what will be our next encounter, My kitty"

"You seem to be so happy, Ash" tch! Ganter.

"Ganter? Are you been there all the time?"

"Huh? no, no I just happened to see you with a noble lady, that's all" so he did watch from he very beginning.

"Cut the crap, how's the things on the other side?"

"We're ready to move, we're just waiting for your orders" The show will start soon. If I didn't have this kind of pestering problem I would've spend more time with my kitty.

"*sigh~* Let's go before my mood ruined. I must not wait any longer my precious guests. *smirk* "
