Chapter 180 - Reminiscing (2/2)
”How about we change the topic.” Aoi smiled and tried to brighten up John, ”You seem to have been well, John.”
”What do you mean?”
Aoi's lips curled up. ”Do you have a thing for Florans?” Aoi asked, ”I mean, you seem to always be surrounded by them.”
John's eyebrow twitched, ”I don't know. They seem to gravitate towards me for some reason, I guess.”
”Uhum...of course...” Aoi gave a knowing glance towards John.
”What?” John felt strange being stared by those eyes that reminded him of how Cael used to act when he was close to someone of the opposite s.e.x.
”Nothing.” Aoi decided to not tease John too much and moved on.
And just like that, John and Aoi spent a few more minutes speaking about the past and the present.
”Why are with the Fujiwara clan's young master?” John suddenly asked. He was very curious about this.
Aoi's eyes dimmed a little but as she explained, ”My family is a servant of the Fujiwara clan. As such, I was destined to serve the younger generation of the clan.”
John was surprised by the revelation. He always thought that Aoi had some mysterious and powerful background, but from the looks of it, he was very wrong, ”Then...how did you end up in the Terrene Protectorate?”
”I ran away from home.” Aoi bitterly smiled and lowered her head, ”I always hated the fact that my destiny, my future, was set in stone even before my birth. I rebelled against my family and left home. I wanted to decide my own future, I wanted to be free. But as you see, I don't even have control over my own life. I'm nothing more than Fujiwara Rei and Saito's maid and hidden guard.”
John inclined in his chair and looked at the ceiling, ”That's... unfortunate...”
”How about I tell you my story?” Aoi suddenly asked as she lifted her head and looked directly at John, ”I'm sorry to ask you this, but can you listen? I never had the chance to share my backstory with someone else in fear my family would find me. A meaningless fear since my family always kept an eye on me from the dark. The moment I got to Earth, they have found me, but decided to only watch. Since I don't have to fear anything, I would like to share my story with you.”
”Sure.” John gently smile. He felt pity towards Aoi.
And so Aoi began telling about her story. About why she wanted to become a Protector.
