Chapter 61 (1/2)

*Yawn*

Marcus rubbed his eyes and slowly sat up. He was still sleepy when he turned around to find no one. Cloy and Luka, they had already woken up.

His head turned straight and his eyes met with Melova's.

”JEEZ..Hehe”

All 3 of them, Melova, Luka and Cloy were in front of him, contemplating him before turning their gaze towards his right.

Marcus followed their eyes and turned his head to his right. No wonder he felt his right hand being squeezed, IT WAS KERIN!!.

She was sleeping soundly beside him, holding his fingers between hers.

Marcus blushed a bit but slowly wriggled his hand free off her, without disturbing her sleep. His cheeks became red as he stood up with his eyes on them.

Without a word Marcus walked towards the rock shelf and grabbed the jug of water. He gulped down three mouthful before Luka broke the silence.

”Boss, Why..How...When did you come here??”

He stuttered as he thought what to ask his gonna be Guildmaster.

”Ah..It's just that I needed a place to stay”

Marcus answered but hesitated a bit.

”But boss, your house is way more comfortable than this...Then why..”

”My house got destroyed yesterday...Again”

Marcus cut off Melova's words and spoke out his own. His forehead twisted as his brows furrowed at them.

”I fought the intruder till midnight...”

..

”And I also had to shift my parents to somewhere safe”

..

”I had to get farther away from them too”

..

”So..You know I came here to stay..Atleast for a Month”

Marcus finished his words, he made sure that he paused in between to emphasize his words and kept on continuing when no one interrupted him.

”A MONTH!!???”

Kerin jumped out of her 'Fake' Sleep and hugged Melova.

Marcus cringed back in surprise and chuckled at her.

Cloy and Luka looked at each other and nodded. If they had their boss with them, No one could hurt them in any way.

Melova struggled with Kerin as she tried to take her glued body off from her.

Kerin finally let go off her and stood straight.

”WE HAVE NO PROBLEM BOSS MARCY..YOU CAN STAY HERE FOREVER..IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, LET'S MA..mmphh..mff.mf”

Melova pushed a cotton cloth into Kerin's mouth and kicked her onto the bed. She nipped her finger with a small hairpin and muttered a spell through her mask.

Just after her words, the suppressed muffles of Kerin stopped as she went into a deep sleep.

”Sorry Boss...That's Kerin for you”

Cloy blurted completely embarrassed of what happened.

Marcus shook his head as he laughed and waved his hand telling them to ignore it.

His laugh was something which ended as soon it began. The Atmosphere seemed to change when Marcus's face twisted into something more serious, something more menacing.

”I have a Reunion today..You remember it right. Reach the Academy at 1 in the noon. We'll go to the Guild Office then”

Marcus paused as he remembered something else as well.

”Ah..We gotta make it fast okay..I have a battle with the King's son in the evening..Hehe..I can't wait”

Marcus grinned devilishly, making his crewmates tremble in fear.

Marcus looked at them with his eyebrows perched.
