Chapter 407 - 407: The real wedding day part 4 (1/2)
It's currently night time. While the younger group are all asleep, I couldn't bring myself to sleep even when I am dead tired. I don't know what keeps me awakes at this time of the day, but surely not something related to the fallen god etc.
Since I couldn't even close my eyes properly, I decided to go downstairs, and there, I find
”...” [Rean]
”You're still nervous Rean? Have some tea. It's good to keep you relax” [Claude]
”Thank you” [Rean]
”You're absolutely in a nerve wrecking state, that we can easily tell” [Filvisar]
”I am...” [Rean]
”Wanna tell us anything? It can help you relax you know” [Ash]
”You spook us... I thought you're fast asleep” [Rafiah]
”I couldn't, so I decided to come down” [Ash]
”There's extra tea that I made, care to have some” [Claude]
”Absolutely” [Ash]
And the five of us sit down together where I sip down the milk tea prepared by Claude. Delicious as always
”I'm scared...” [Rean]
””””....”””” [Ash, Claude, Rafiah, Filvisar]
Looks like he's about to open up. He decided to sleep here for tonight since this will be his last day before getting married. Not that he wouldn't come here to visit us, but yeah, you get the drill
”I'm scared that I'm not good enough to protect Muse. The internal political rift... Her parents... The First Prince... Everything... Everything seems to be keeping us apart” [Rean]
I can see that. I guess when I am glad that nothing changes, I should specify that I am glad that nothing good changes. As for the bad thing, yeah, I just wanted it to disappear, but...
”What if, at the end of the day, her strong face finally collapses in tear... What if I wasn't there, because of my duty as the hero... I just couldn't help but to think about it... I... I...” [Rean]
I see. That's good of him, thinking all of that. Just when I was about to give him a word of encouragement
”You're right. You might not...” [Filvisar]
”Grandpa...” [Rean]
”I lost my wife and my family back then, because I was away, for my hero duty. How I lamented it, even up until now itself. They were all killed, together with Claude and his family...” [Filvisar]
”Claude... Is that true?” [Rafiah]
”True enough... How I still remember that Those damn follower of old religion attack this mansion because Master Filvisar was a hero. Not any hero, but an ”elf” hero. They just couldn't accept the fact that an elf could become a hero... It was the worst day of my life. Not only I couldn't protect both master and my own family, I couldn't even met Master Filvisar since I become a ghost way later on... Probably after Calypso rested inside the underground lab” [Claude]
This... This is new. Rean, Rafiah and I have not heard of it before, and as such, we give our full attention to those two
