“Ah…argh!”A pained groan escaped from Aita as he staggered on the grassy road.He was already tired physically but seeing again the tall trees that he had been used to when he met Selena was giving him a headache.Moreover…“...”“...”Aita stared at the dark red-haired beauty in his embrace and frowned.“How long are you going to sleep?!”Thwack!He flicked Rhainia’s forehead.“!”The latter opened her eyes.“...”“Can you walk ?”Aita asked and put her down but…ThudRhainia fell to the ground.It was as if she didn’t have any legs.“I can’t walk.”“Indeed!”Aita snapped at her.Rhainia crossed her arms and turned her head away.“You are the one who brought me here, so take responsibility.”“The hell with your responsibility! Your idiot brother really proved to be an assh*le on top of being an idiot. What brother leaves his sister like that…”Aita said, thinking about his younger sister Saria.Rhainia smiled a little when she heard Aita mocking Kailes but quickly reverted to her st
Aita, atop a tree, was staring at Rhainia who was sitting on the ground.Her red battle armor dress was bloodied and now dirty but it didn't diminish her beauty at all.Looking at the fire crackling before her, Rhainia hugged her knees.A little smile bloomed on her face as she touched the black clothes covering her feet."..."Aita looked at her suspiciously, as she didn't seem to move from her place.'Could it be that she really can't move her legs…?'After five more minutes, Rhainia started to look around. She seemed to be looking for Aita.'Why the heck is she looking for her kidnapper so frantically ?'Aita wondered before leaving the place.Killing a few rabbits, he brought them back to the camp.Rhainia stared at Aita."What ?""Where were you ?""Guess ?"Aita asked sarcastically while showing the half-chopped rabbit."You took too much time just for that ?""Are you my mother ?""No.""Then shut up and wait.""..."After Rhainia closed her mouth, Aita could finally start to c
One week later…[Solaria Imperial Palace]Bustle!A lively atmosphere was prevailing in the throne hall of the palace.Two reasons for that.Their ‘Heroes’ defeated the Half-Prince of Ankouna. One of the strongest threats they were facing. Trevor was also a powerful man from Ankouna, so they were happy and proud.And the main reason was the end of the war that started a month ago.Rhaines Ankouna, who was the Commander in chief of the army attacking Solaria, retreated.“F-Finally! Those scum of Ankouna left!”“We can finally rest a little!”“Our ‘Heroes’ really became strong!”“Yeah! Our god Solas didn’t let us alone! His messengers saved us!”The atmosphere was shrouded with happiness and joy.It was the same everywhere in the Solaria Empire.Some lost their loved ones but the end of the war still put their minds at ease.At least they were not dead for nothing.Creak!“The Emperor and the Imperial Family are here!”“Oh even the ‘Heroes’!”The Emperor Helio and his family sat at the
[Lunarstella Imperial Palace] “What…?” Aita’s confused voice rang out in the throne hall of the palace. Currently, there were only the Emperor and the Empress in the hall with Aita. One week had passed since Aita returned to the capital of Lunaria. He was welcomed like a hero and nearly like a god. After what he accomplished, his name spread everywhere on the continent as a genius. The new Lord Commander of Lunarstella became that famous. No one on the continent could be unaware of Aita anymore. He was the first one who defeated a pure-blooded prince of Ankouna and his army after all. More importantly, it was thanks to him that the war ended. All the people of Lunarstella and Niveis thanked him wholeheartedly. He put an end to the war that killed lots of people and could kill thousands of people again. As for the younger ones, the boys started to admire Aita, while girls sent letters to him every day, which Aita accepted gratefully, as he was too lazy to ask wood to light
Swooooooosh A soothing breeze blew. Petals of different colors from various flowers danced in the air. The ground was filled with beautiful flowers. That sight was unending. The sky was blue without clouds. The scenery was breathtaking. Strangely, no sun could be seen in the beautiful sky. Amidst that sublime garden of flowers, a young boy was seated on the ground. "Sniff…sniff…ah…" The young boy who couldn’t be more than four years old was crying. His shoulder-length platinum white hair floated because of the cool breeze. "Aita." "!" The boy flinched after hearing a voice behind him. He hurriedly wiped away his tears and turned around. A divine beauty in golden armor was there. Without doubt she was not human. Her beauty was flawless and ethereal. She could only be a higher being. In her right hand was a shining golden lance. Upon seeing Aita's swollen eyes, a smile appeared on her expressionless face. "Did you cry ?" She asked as she approached Aita. "N-No…some
After several minutes of Aita complaining, they were finally ready to depart. “Be careful, Selena, and take care of Narvi.” Diana, the Empress said before hugging Selena and Narvi. “I know mother.” Selena nodded with a smile. “Selena, we are forming a truce, but don’t let them get the upper hand in the conversation. Otherwise, they will ask unreasonable things.” “Yes father.” Selena nodded seriously at her father. “And Aita, please take care of Selena. It is your duty as Lord Commander, but now she is your fiancee. You have to support and assist her.” “F-Father?!” Selena blushed in embarrassment at her father’s words. She didn’t expect Linus to say that to Aita. “I know.” But Aita unexpectedly nodded without extra words. Though he was lazy, he knew it was an important meeting. “Oh my, you are so beautiful dear with that dress!” Diana praised Selena in a loud voice. Aita turned toward Selena and, indeed, she was breathtaking. She was wearing a sublime navy blue dress w
Swooooooosh!A bright light engulfed a large room.THUD!And several people appeared.“We arrived.”Koln said.“Where are we?”Aita, separating from the reluctant Selena, Karen and Nea, asked.The room was large and nothing was inside.Only the white wall could be seen and a door probably leading outside.“We are in a building in the capital of Solas. Carriages are waiting outside to take you to the palace.”Koln replied.After checking that everyone was there, they all walked out of the building and entered the carriage.No one seemed around except the coachman.It looked like a private house.Well, they were important guests, so they had to choose the place wisely.Clip Clop! Clip Clop! Clip Clop!After entering the carriages, they quickly joined the main road.BUSTLE!And as expected, it was very lively and animated.“...”Aita looked outside the window blankly.He could recognize several places.‘Nothing seems to have changed.’He had already gone to most of the places with Liana
The dark brown-haired beauty froze when Aita turned toward her. The woman’s, or Laika’s light brown eyes stared at Aita’s figure. Putting aside his not-bad face and unique eyes, currently with his glistening eyes and the tear falling from his right eye, he looked special. Aita's current figure would tickle any woman's maternal instinct. Thump! Her heart melted upon seeing his lonely face and sad face. “W-Who are you…?” She asked with a stutter. Laika had never seen Orion since she first appeared at the banquet right after Orion was kidnapped. The same was for Aita, who didn't recognize her. But he could tell that she was someone important. Her armor was more refined and unique compared to the other random knights. Aita frowned at her reaction. “!” Noticing that he wasn't wearing his mask, he quickly channeled his mana, and his mask reappeared on his face. Wiping the tear, his expression turned cold and calm again. The same face he would show to people he didn’t care at
