Chapter 39 Green rivers response 1 (1/2)

as Chloe heard what Isabel said she instantly pulled back from Mars while her face turned even more red, the blush even spread to her long ear that started to tremble slightly, but to Mars's surprise she didn't run away like the time he healed her she just stood there, beat red face while she looked down for a few seconds before she looked over at Isabel and Alvin that where looking at her with warm eyes before she finally couldn't take it any more and ran off into the forest leaving Mars in a daze before he pulled himself together and looked over at Victoria that seemed unconcerned with the whole situation

”...Victoria do you mind capturing her before she runs into danger”

Victoria looked up at Mars then at the forest were Chloe had ran off then finely she looked at the piece off raw meat Mars was carrying seemingly having made her decision as Mars spotted a little droll in the corner off her mouth causing Mars to let out a sigh as Isabel spoke

”i'll go after her”

Isabel stood up and ran after Chloe into the forest leaving Mars, Victoria and Alvin that was still on the ground keeled over clutching his stomach, behind Mars shifted his gaze to Alvin and asked

”...Alvin are you still alive?”

”...yeah, just give me a second”

Mars gave a shrug and sat down as he began to roast some meat for himself and Victoria and after the first 3 pieces was roasted Alvin finely raised himself off the ground as Mars casually asked him

”did it really hurt that much?”

Alvin sat down on a tree stump as he rubbed his stomach before he answered still sounding a little in pain

”she usually holds back but she still is the best martial expert in the village... even her [Hand to hand combat] skill is level 5...”

Mars stopped roasting meat and looked over at Alvin with disbelief

”...seriously”

”yeah seriously, she usually hides her skills saying it's 'unladylike' but she still practices with fanatic fervor when no one's watching... even her [Grapple] and [Open-hand strike]skills are level 4...”

Mars became a little dazed as he thought back to when Isabel had thought him basic hand to hand combat, back then he had pridefully thought the only reason he couldn't best her was his own lack of training and control of his body

”but when she fight for real... i once saw her blow up a tree with a hit off her fist, it was so beautiful...”

”wait what?”

Mars looked over at Alvin and saw a he had a almost fanatic expression on his face as he looked off into the distance, meanwhile Rex walked out off the cabin still looking sleepy as he yawned

”first she took a perfect stance that made her seem like she was sculpted by on off the 13 archangels, then she burst forwards with all to power contained in her pretty frame and struck ---”

as Rex heard Alvin he gave a sigh and walked over behind him before he ruthlessly struck down on his head

”Alvin your habit is showing again”

”OUCH! what! is it wrong to praise your elder sisters beauty?!”

”yes it is when you keep doing it for hours without end”

”...fine”

”maybe i should tell this to Teresa”

Alvin instantly paled before he bowed deeply to Rex

”i was wrong please don't tell Teresa!”

Mars watched their exchange with fascination before he asked Rex

”who's Teresa?”

”it's Alvin's wife”

Mars looked over at Alvin and stared at him for a few seconds

”well i guess that's no surprise, what's she like?”

both Rex and Alvin looked away for a few seconds, before finely Alvin answered

”well she's slightly... possessive, not that i don't love her it's just...”

”she sticks to him whenever he's in the village so he ran away to become member of the barrier patrol team”

”Rex!”

”well it's true right?”

”...”

Alvin went silent before he gave a sigh and looked over at Mars with a oddly serious look on his face

”Mars you should be careful with the princess too, elven woman are often like that”

Mars gave a nod as he knew Alvin meant Chloe when he said the princess and fell into thought, one on hand not only himself but also his half dragon instincts really wanted to... 'taste' the cute young elver but on the other hand he knew that once he gave into his lust he might fall into a really deep hole, or simply turn him into a beast and as a person that valued his intelligence that was a fate worse than death, also if he didn't know what stance the village chief would take if he got into a intimate relationship with his only daughter even if it was consensual

'at worst it might make all the effort i have put into getting the elvers to like me for naught, or worse they might hunt me down... if that happened i'm not sure i would be able leave the forest alive'

”plus i don't really want to be tied down yet”

”Mars... i'm hungry”
