Chapter 30: Breeze Of Spring And Hot Lava Gaze
Kyra was busy putting the saddle on the horseback and check the rein when Grey come near her, standing behind her.
"So, you're going huh." He started with both of his hand on his back.
"Yeah." She replied with a distant tone and without looking at him. Well, what just happens between her and him across to her mind. The way he kisses her and touches her..its better if she's not making eye contact with him. He is a dangerous man. Trouble for her in the future.
"You haven't told me your name yet." He states. He still remembers she hasn't told him her name. And he keeps calls her 'Miss Belly' all along the way coming here. Because she had a nice belly button there. And his eyes couldn't set off of her belly since first he saw her back at the underground place.
"I don't see any good reason for you to know my name. We're not a friend nor a foe. So, we basically strangers. After this day, you would not remember me anymore and the same goes with me." She said over her shoulder before she went and get her backpack to be put on the horseback.
"What if..we met again in the future? Will you be okay if I call you with the cute nickname I gave to you?" He half grin behind her. Well, she is not that hard to get even after he tries to seduce her earlier.
"Call me whatever you want. I might not turn to your calling at all." She put on the black cloak on her body. She already changes her attire into a decent one while he was busy talking to Hayden.
"I might need to catch you again then. Be my prisoner so that I can make you turn to me, look at me in the eye."
"Well, Mister whatsoever, I don't usually easy to get caught. It just the unfortunate day that you encounter with me today. So, farewell." She passes by him but before she could leave him, he immediately caught her hand and leaning closer to her ear. Whispering to her ear.
"This is not over yet. I would love to meet you again, my lady." He nibbles her earlobe for a moment before he let go of her and walk pass by her.
Kyra bit her bottom lip. His voice sounds so husky and it makes her body twitching to the imagination of what he would taste.
'Dammit!' She curses before she regains back her composure.
"Kyra? Are you okay?" Yuina asks her when she saw Kyra's face seem a bit distracted.
"Hm? I'm okay." Kyra turns to Yuina and smiles at her. She also saw a glint of angry in between Yuina's face. But she doesn't know who she was angry at.
When she returned back to her horse, Yuina follows behind her like a child following their mother.
"Erm, Yuina?" Kyra ask. Feeling something is seriously off with this girl.
"Can I ride with you?" She said with a face of hope.
"But.." She stops her sentence and glance at Hayden. Yuina will prioritize Hayden first. Everything must be Hayden first before her. So why now she wants to ride with her?
It's not like she doesn't want to share a ride with her, but..hmm, its better if she just follows Yuina's order.
"Sure. Come on." Kyra helps Yuina to get on the horse and once she was sitting on the saddle, Kyra follows her step after that.
"Princess?" Hayden asks when he sees Yuina was riding a horse with Kyra.
"I want to ride with Kyra. We should leave now before it's too dark." Yuina said without looking at him.
Hayden knit his brow. Feeling a bit offended by her cold manner to him. But he also knows where's he standing at. Bow his head, he said, "Yes, princess."
Kyra looks at Hayden with sympathize. Well, from the way she looks, Yuina is obviously sulking with him. To what reason is, she still not sure yet. Better to ask her when her mood is a bit okay later.
The four of them start their journey. This time they have a new companion. A dragon. A man. A playboy. But hopefully, this one can be useful when it comes to his duty.
Hayden leads the way while Kyra and Yuina at the center and Zane guard at the back. They had to change their route this time. At first plan, Hayden decides to go to the Ivory Tribe. But then, because of their encounter with the castle army today, he decides to change their route to the Aquamarine tribe. A Water tribe leads by General Kiki.
The castle army will surely take the route to Ivory and back to the Diamond City. It's the fastest way to return back to the castle. They bring a lot of prisoners, they must've taken the shortest route. If he was to go to the same direction as them, for sure they will be detained by the army.
To go to the Aquamarine City, they need to go to the north of this Emerald province and use the border road between Zirconia kingdom and the Onyx Kingdom to reach the Zircon province and from Zircon, he will need to go again until they reach Aquamarine.
They can make a stop first at his castle if the three of them agree. This new journey will take at least one and a half week to reach their destination.
…
"Yuina.," Kyra call Yuina's name with a soft voice.
"Hm?" She replies without turning to her who sits behind her, holding the horse rein.
"Are you in bad term with Hayden?" She asks. Her curiosity almost kills her.
"No, why'd you think that?" She frowned a bit. Denying the truth.
"I'm not blind. You two haven't talked much since yesterday." She states the matter of fact.
"I don't have a thing to talk to." She replies casually.
"Are you still angry with him when he goes to that alley?"
"Don't talk about it. I don't want to remember it. And no. He's an adult man. He can do what a man should have done." She said with a bit stern in her voice. That makes Kyra more positive on her thought.
'Yup! She is angry about that. And some other reason too.'
"Okay. But..just my dumb thought. If you keep pushing him, one day, there's a girl who will take your knight away from you. That times, I hope you will not bite your own finger." She shrugged her shoulder while said that.
Yuina did not reply to anything with that being said. It's true, but it might be depending on the person itself. If he is willing to go, he'll go. If he wants to keep stay, he'll stay. But..will she be okay if he goes someday? Somehow?
The silence put between them until it almost dusk. In this time, usually, they will stop and rest before they continue again on the next morning. Sleeping on the hard ground has been their routine back. And that is a new experience for Zane.
He complains on the first day, but after that, he did not say anything at all. Just accept a new challenging and experience. He is not as an ass as before. He is quite helpful.
He can gather all the firewoods within less time and can help them make the tent while Kyra makes the dinner and Hayden make a fireplace for them. Hayden also still in charge of finding them food or meat to eat.
..
"Zane." Yuina turns to the man who sits beside her and across Kyra and Hayden.
"Hm?" He also turns to look at Yuina while eating his dinner.
"Can you draw out a sword? Fighting?" She asks in a curious tone.
"Well.." He thinks for a moment before he nodded his head. "Yeah, a lil bit."
Yuina curled up her lips. That smile of hers, make Zane's heart skip a beat. "That's good. Can you teach me? I want to learn how to protect myself when I encounter some trouble."
Her request makes Zane frowned a bit. He secretly took a glance at Hayden. And that is when he saw Hayden's face turn grim by looking at the two of them who are now sitting a bit close.
It makes him hard to breathe when a pair of eye pleading him to say yes, while another one makes his stomach feel like twisted just by the looking on his face if he says yes to her request.
He tries to find a very good word to be put on. "Erm…Yuina. I would love to help you, but you see...I am..lack of experience."
Yuina lowered her head in sullen. She was hoping that Zane could help her. She doesn't want to be saved again by Hayden. Put his life in danger just so he could save her.
"Is that so." Her sullen voice makes Zane scrunches his eyebrow with such tense.
'Oh, God! I can't help it!' He screams inside her heart.
"Well, but..if it is okay with you, I could teach you how to use a bow and arrow." He surrenders. He really can't reject her.
With that being said, he could see a breeze of spring from Yuina side and he also could feel a very hot lava gaze from across of him. Now, he really books a ticket to go see the Yama.
