31 Ch. 31 New Knights (1/2)

”Ed!” Scarlet exclaimed cheerfully. ”We will have two new knights!”

”Huh? Really? How do you know?”

”Hokuto. He said in his mission this time; he met with two knights at once. And just now, Hokuto sent a message that they were on their way here. Isn't that good news?”

”I'm glad to see you happy. But to be honest, that's not good news for me.”

”Why?”

”Facing four Elementalist knights at once in the same place is quite tense, especially if you have to add two more.”

Scarlet laughed loudly at the joke of her fiancé. ”Oh, come on. You know very well that we will never hurt another Elementalist without a good reason.”

”What about the prophecy? The more knights gather in one place; the more chance one will be an evil knight.”

”That's why I have been trying to make a bond with them. If we have a good relationship from the beginning, we could keep each other back. Besides, if we meet all of them at once, we can recognize the weird behavior of them right before they turned into evil.”

Edward snorted and then turned his head towards the other.

”Aw, come on. You worried too much. Hm?” Scarlet's tried to stare at Edward with a cute face, but the man deliberately turned his face the other way.

Know-nothing of surrender, Scarlet kept moving to find his eyes.

Both of them kept struggling. One was avoiding while the other one wanted to stare straight into her inamorato's eyes.

They didn't realize they were walking towards the sofa and fell onto it.

Ba-thump!

Now Edward's body fell right on Scarlet's body along their face was so close.

For a few seconds, their eyes interlock.

Scarlet's face reddened as steams raised from her head. Edward made a move itching to give a peck the delicious of his fiancee's lips right before the door room suddenly opened.
