Rise Of The Eternal King 43 Edwin's Story

She was ecstatic to talk about him and started speaking, "We were from the neighbors before coming to this world. I met you when I was in my kindergarten."

She had a little blush on her face as she continued, "It is embarra.s.sing to talk about it because when I met up with Edwin, I was crying because some of my friends were bullying me how my mother tied my hair. They said that I looked funny. Hehe…"

"I hated my hair. Just when I was about to run away, you came and saved me from the embarra.s.sment saying that you loved the way my hairs were. After that moment, I started to spend more time together with you, away from the rest of my cla.s.s."

"I watched all the action shows you liked and started to like it as well. You weren't very good in the academics so I used to help you out in your homework which would give me more time to spend with you."

"As the time went on, my feelings for you increased. I still remember your promise when we were summoned to this world, you said that you will always protect me. I don't know what happened but you suddenly took off in the morning and went to fight against the Great Demon King without mentioning about it even once."

"After you were gone, most of our cla.s.smates started to tell me that you must have died by now since your power as a Fire Magic User wouldn't have been able to defeat the Great Demon King. However, I was confident that you would return back to me…"

Saito asked her with a touched look, "How were you so confident?"

She gave him a simple answer, "…because my love promised me, he would protect me in this world." Saito was silent for a period of time after hearing that response.

Her feelings for Edwin ran deep through her veins, he thought within his head 'I apologize Chloe but Edwin did die against that fight with the Great Demon King Zoldron. On that day, I was reborn… I took on the ident.i.ty of Edwin. Even though I can't love you as much as he did, I will keep his promise to protect you.'

He secretly vowed in his heart. There was nothing but determination visible through his eyes. Chloe gave him a relieved look, "I was so happy to know that you were alive after I received information that you ordered some people to stop killing the dark wolves. I immediately wanted to leave the city and look for you but the Union stopped me from leaving."

Saito narrowed his eyes and asked her, "The Union stopped you? Why? And how?"

Chloe started her explanation while they continued to walk, "They said that my help was required by my cla.s.smates because I am one of the best healers within the Union. The healers better than me were either on a mission or they were required here at the Union."

She stopped for a second to catch her breath and continued, "Also, they a.s.sured me that you would return back since you have defeated the Great Demon King. If I knew this had happened, I would have rushed to towards your place without listening to any of them."

"So, this is what happened huh." Saito slowly understood many things. He understood why that guy named Jade was so shocked and angry to hear that he was still alive.

Even though the news about Saito giving an order for the humans to disperse while they were on their mission to kill the dark wolves was spread. Many of the members of the council didn't take it very seriously since they didn't believe that Saito could survive the fight.

He asked his next question, "Was that Hero Jade our cla.s.smate? Do you resent me for killing him?"

His words were chosen carefully so that he could get out her opinion about himself for killing Hero Jade and also find out about what her reaction would be if he had to go against the humans or the Union in the future.

Chloe though didn't think so deeply about his questions, she gave him a natural reply, "No, he isn't our cla.s.smate. There are two types of heroes in the Vermillion kingdom, ones who have been summoned from our world through a forbidden ritual. The other method is for a human of this world to receive the blessings of their G.o.d."

"Just as we received our abilities when we arrived in this world. They also receive strong abilities from the G.o.d who blessed them. Their abilities are limited but they are very strong. The advantage we hold over them is that our potential is very great. As long as we had enough time, we would be able to suppress the heroes blessed by the G.o.d."

Saito raised his finger and stopped her from speaking any more. He gives her a smile and points at the restaurant, "Let's enjoy now. I apologize to trouble you so much. Let's have a good time now.."

During their walk till the restaurant, Saito was conscious of his surroundings. He saw many guys giving him strange looks of envy as he walked together with Chloe.

It seemed that Chloe was truly very famous within the city not just because of her skill but also because of her beauty. And noticing that she had worn special clothes while walking with a guy, he was instantly the target of their jealousy.

Even though he didn't love Chloe, there was no harm in letting her enjoy this time since she had done the task, he asked her to do and he did agree to give her this reward.

Saito ordered chocolate cake for the two of them. Chloe happily chewed onto the chocolate cake. The female waitress stared at the two of them, "Sir, madam, you are a very sweet couple."

Her words were laced with honeyed words but she wasn't lying. Any way you saw it, those two just seemed to be perfect while sitting together.

Saito gave the waitress a smile and lightly replies, "Thank you." He handed her a

After they were done with eating the cake, they headed out of the restaurant. As they were walking, Chloe asked him curiously, "Where are we going now?"

She didn't receive a reply from Saito and continued to follow him. Saito was actually walking around the part of the city which was still unknown to him, he himself had no idea where he was going.

After walking straight ahead for 3-4 minutes, he glanced at Chloe from the corner of his eyes. He noticed that she was staring in a particular direction before she moved her eyes.

'Flower shop huh. I should bring some flowers for Lyra. Within the storage s.p.a.ce of Iris, they can be preserved infinitely.' He thought before he grabbed Chloe's hand and headed towards the Flower Shop.

Chloe's face reddened slightly when Saito grabbed her hand. She was even more surprised to see that they were heading towards the Flower Shop.

After looking for some flowers to buy for Lyra, Saito found the Red roses for her. He bought them quickly and placed them in his inventory.

Staring at the white colored daisy flowers, Chloe seemed genuinely interested in buying them. Saito poked her shoulder and says, "Do you like these?" Receiving a nod, Saito looked at the employee working there, "Please give us these White Colored Daisy Flowers."

The female employee commended them, "A very good choice. These flower braids would look incredibly beautiful on your girlfriends' hairs."

Before Saito could say that they weren't in a relations.h.i.+p, Chloe asked, "What is the price of these flowers?"

Shaking his head, Saito pulled out a gold coin from his storage, "Give us the entire set." It seemed that the Gold Coin was more than enough to cover up the expense of these flowers from the look on the female employee's face.
