“But, you are not alone!” She shtly, and the whole world stood still “Not anyrew even further “I will always be with you It is alright if there are things you can’t do What you can’t do, I’ll do in your stead!”

Kiel’s heart was thu telepathically, he would surely not be able to hear her voice over the loud sound of his heartbeat Even the loud sounds of wind got completely overpowered by the frantic beats

His eh the bond, her ereed, lust, or desire, no hidden agenda Just pure and simple…

…pure and simple what? What emotion is that?

Kiel’s heart skipped a beat

Elaru’s bright se sentiment “And what I can’t do… for that… I have you”

Kiel felt a strange burning sensation erupt in the center of his chest He could al under it

Abruptly he turned his face away fro over his cheeks

Silly Sappy Foolish Ridiculous

I just don’t understand how the brain of this girl is wired

Oneand secretive, the other innocent and honest like a new born baby

If it weren’t for the fact that eh their bond couldn’t be faked, if it weren’t for the strong resonance between the to seduce hiht desperately to regain his calm He didn’t want to feel this way These… emotions… were doomed to cause him endless trouble Emotions… were better left frozen and buried in the deepest parts of his consciousness Replaced by calic

“I don’t want to rely on anyone I want to be strong enough onat Elaru

Elaru stared at hi on others isn’t a sign of weakness No one can be invincible by themselves”

Kiel’s pupils shrunk and the disarray in his mind suddenly stilled

If he had been told this at any other time by anyone else, he would have paid it no attention He would have thought it to be an excuse for personal weakness

But in the light of what happened today, Kiel realized that if he didn’t have a connection to Elaru, if he didn’t have a true ally, he would have been kidnapped and locked within the Rrodainto Muni would have shattered into dust

And he would have been powerless to stop it Not even Gods were invincible, let alone he, a mortal No matter hoerful he beca by hiainst a Shadow, then they wouldn’t be as dreaded as they were Even heads of noble faonize a Shadow

And the more brilliantly Kiel shone, thelike this would repeat itself And there would be no one to help him

An ally, huh? Kiel looked at Elaru from the corner of his eyes Will you really be my precious ally, Elaru Wayvin? Are you truly someone I can trust?

Kiel spoke out: “For the sake of the argument, let’s pretend that I want to be your ally”

Elaru snored the look and continued “The question is, can I trust you?” His icy blue eyes locked with Elaru’s teal ones

Could he really trust such a secretive person with unknown origin or goal?

Kiel was neither naïve nor opti, she was not trustworthy at all Yet, a part of him couldn’t help but feel like he could trust her

Elaru didn’t respond to his question right away Her smile vanished and was replaced by a solehed and finally replied “Friendshi+p and loveas you remain my friend, my ally, I will remain yours You can trust that I will not betray you unless you betray uard your back You can trust that I will help you to the best of my ability You can trust that your enemies will be my enemies That your troubles will be my troubles”

Her voas resolute and sincere And her actions validated her conviction

He didn’t knohat Elaru needed to do to overcoerous Yet, she didn’t hesitate at all to come to his aid And she didn’t even cootten injured in the process But even if she did get injured, would she even tell hi that Elaru Wayvin was the type of person who could get stabbed right through the chest and still walk away fro to be fine

A person who could get all her liardless of right and wrong, like and hate, this type of person… he couldn’t help but respect
