Chapter 14 - 11: Sagacious Assumptions and Speculations (2) (2/2)
After which, Ventus immediately lit up, and in no time, fibers of hissing winds swirled around the two of them curving a whirlwind veil. The orb named Fieure breathed an amorphous lava plume reducing all beasts it touches into ashes.
Once ȧssured with their safety, Dmitri turned his head towards the awaiting prince.
”...well, I seriously don't know how you put your egoistic idealism in your small brain, Your Highness.”
Ziro raised an eyebrow.
”So sure that from us two, youd be more likely to be the prey of what you'd just said.”
Sheathing his sword back on its scabbard, Dmitri let out a wry sigh.
”Ha. Who? Are you sure with that? Then, who could be that person who can't even cut a portion of his knowledge and spill on his loyal subject?”
Feeling all the welling hate inside her ċhėst, Ziro crossed his arm on to her ċhėst.
”Was it too improper for that to happen a cripple to a well-built warrior? You'd already said yourself, I needed saving.”
”If for a greater cause, why would it be? Besides with it with you, youd be as useless as you are.”
Ziro immediately scoffed.
”Finally you beat out your true nature. I was thinking being too deferent doesnt suit you at all. Might be better if just you stay being acquisitive.”
”Well, just returning bad favor or could be my new avocation though.”
”You're overstepping your boundary. You're the one who started this. If you'd just listen...”
She tried to blurt of her welling emotions, but no words followed.
All this time she was holding her protest against his hardhanded remarks, but wasn't he going overboard just by his abhorring sentiment?
”Request for another clarification, Your Highness. Me? Were you blaming me this time, right here, right now, with what just happened? With my greatest respect, you made me try to save you, Your Highness.”
'Greatest respect? How ironic. Your words doesn't suit with your tone.'
”Well you demanded that first why did it sound like I forced you?”
”Because you're a cripple, Your Highness. And I have no idea who could be a cripple that unthinkingly leap out from the defenses vulnerably taking on a stealthy mid-tier beast unless youre deceiving me all this time. Now, tell me was my judgment really that undue?”
At instant, Ziro's ċhėst hitched heavily as her eyes slowly bitten by beads of salts. Was she being wronged? Oh no. She must stand her ground. There's no way shed let a man trampled her dignity.
”...does it really matter? If so, then it was. Just because you had a trail of resentment towards the royalties, it doesn't mean it gives you the right to spat wrongful words against us.”
Couldn't be more affected by this development, she already forgotten her uncovered body being licked by the cold. Right now, the only perceptible reason she could forage as to why she was really ticked by those words was her feminine pride. She's a guy right now, but even so, her former bearing as a woman never left her heart.
Seemed to be carried by the spur of Ziro's words, the wave of the swordsman's acrimonious standpoint had slowly calmed to its insentience. His creased forehead was flattened, and his lips clamped together.
Ziro felt her throat was already dried out and her ċhėst seemed to be squeeze by her emotion, but she continued;
”You're the one who said it first that I'd supposed to know that helpless feeling and yes. I know it. And I definitely felt it! I had it the hard way too! My mother died in front of me and theres nothing I could do but just bawl scraps of tears and just live with it. But there are people who would look at me as if Im the one who killed her treated like criminal... labeled as something I am not actually is. Scowling like I never had feelings that I could be hurt too. Didn't even think that I should be the one who'd suffered the most...”
Right now, she really had no idea the flow of what shes talking or even realized her speech was already about her former life, the golden hair girls tragedy.
”And yet...”
She could no longer hold her tears. Crashing down on her cheeks, she clenched her fist pinned beside her waist.
'I cant stop.'
”I'd just buried it all!”
She trembled.
”Every day I'd turned my head away as if I couldn't hear anything. Foolishly telling myself that I'm okay even even I wasn't. Because there's nothing I could do I was just simply too weak I was simply couldn't bring myself to do it”.
Gulping a fist of breath, the back of her hand brushed her face washed by her tears.
'I just cant stop.'
”B-but you... I don't know what painful past you had and I don't even know what kind of place you grew up but taking out your hate to those who're good enough makes you clearly one of those people you detest. Avenge isn't something you must do to all people akin to royalties but to those who cost you that disdain. So now let me bring back your question wasn't your judgment that undue?”
At that moment, while her vision almost covered by stinging sweat-eyes, her earlobes only waited for an earnest reply.
But the swordsman couldn't lift his lips. He just stared at Ziro's face already beaten by reddish pigment. Once averted, he threw his gaze straight on the ground as though he went into a slow rumination.
With that kind of tongue-tied response, Ziro clenched her fist altogether with her clamped lips. The heavy thumping of her ċhėst made her annoyance even crispier than it was before.
However, just before she could do another round of speech...
~Thats enough!~
...both of them flinched and were pulled out from the heavy atmosphere when a maiden's voice broke off inside their heads.
