204 Annoying Fame (1/2)
---
”Haah, finally got rid of them.”
A young man sighed in relief as he exited a narrow lane. His hair was painted with a tinge of brown color and were gathered together by a rubber band, he was tall and ordinary looking, he wore a casual black robe a wooden sandals.
The young man felt something tugging his sleeves. He looked back and smiled, he saw a girl who wore a slightly annoyed face. She had a long auburn hair that reached her buttocks. Her honey colored eyes, delicate brows and slender figure was for sure a head turner, but just like the young man, her looks aren't too different from the others.
”So freaking famous.” The young girl bit her lips, slightly hesitant to say more.
The young man faced her and placed his hands on her cheeks, cupping them on his palms. He looked at her gently and said in a hushed tone:
”Hungry?”
The young girl nodded which made the young man chuckle. He gave her cheeks a slight pinch and held her hand. ”Let's go grab something to eat.”
Feeling the security of the boy's grip on her hands, a slight blush crept out of her face but she didn't break free from his hold. On the contrary, she liked this feeling. He makes her feel safe and secure.
The young boy and girl were obviously Raven and Luna who's out on a little tour to grab lunch.
Raven obviously underestimated just how famous he got overnight. His fame spread too far and wide that it had became a bad idea for him to go out on his own.
As soon as he stepped out of his father's office, he was immediately recognized and mobbed by the crowd. Raven wasn't used to being mobbed like this but he knew that he couldn't use force due to some reasons.
First is that majority of the people who were mobbing him were females, he couldn't find it to himself to hurt them. Two, he knew that they were just expressing their thanks and admiration to him. Three, he didn't want them to get the wrong idea. And finally, using force to deal with the situation is just wrong.
He lost count on how many times he had excused himself since he had somewhere else to be but who would've thought that instead pacifying the situation, it became more chaotic instead. He wanted to fetch Luna so that he could have lunch with her but there was a crowd of people following him. To make it worse, he and Luna actually met on the way. Without hesitating, he shot forward, grabbed her and ran away to some narrow alley. He quickly performed an art of disguise to the both of them in order to get rid of the people following him.
Raven just couldn't stop smiling. At first he was scared but that fear vanished when he woke up.
If this was before he woke up from the coma, he would've been hesitant to be this bold. But when he saw how she reacted when he woke up and felt her warm embrace, all of the hesitations and uncertainties in his heart vanished with the wind. In the end, he just couldn't prevent himself from looking fondly at this girl.
However, he knew that's she's new to all of this. Luna had been suffering all along before they met, he had no time to think or to be bothered about these things. He didn't want to overwhelm her or scare her off, he wanted take things slowly and let nature take its course. For now, this little skinships that they share is enough for him.
Under a very ordinary disguise, they went through places and visited many food stalls. Both of them needed this kind of break. During the past few months, they have been training assiduously and had greatly exhausted themselves physically and mentally, adding the fact that they participated in a large event a month and half ago, a little break is truly needed.
They talked about random things under the sun, thoroughly enjoying each other's company.
For Luna, this might be the best day that ever happened to her life.
Though she's born with a golden spoon and with a Royal Title as well, her childhood had been somewhat lacking. Ever since she was able to perceive things on her own, the only one accompanying her was Old Lee and sometimes her brother, as for her father, she could only remember a few things since she was too young when he left. Each day she was forced to keep up an act, to assume a mask of elegance and purity befitting a Princess. She yearned to go out and explore but before she even had the chance to do so, she was struck with a mysterious illness that brought so much pain to her and the people around her.
She managed to get out of that place but not in the way she imagined it to be. She was ill, and it pains her to know that she couldn't live a normal life. However, it was like the gods had heard her prayers and someone came to her rescue. Ever since she met Raven, her life experienced a complete turn around. She have more friends now, she had met a lot of people and she was able to enjoy a normal and satisfying life. She was also exposed to the real situation of their home and she was tempered by all of the challenges they faced.
