17 Live The Life Of Your Dreams (1/2)
Agatha originally expected Kiba to dream of strong powers and eternal life given his background. But when Kiba said he is not interested in those things; she expected Kiba to dream of a happy stable family or some peace or wealth.
She even thought perhaps he would want to meet his parents. That's the things a man, especially who originated from the bottom of society, would definitely find attractive.
She never imagined Kiba to dream of only sex and vanity along with avarice. Now he is asking her if this is too much to ask?
Do you want to enjoy every phase of your life? That's a fine dream. But other dreams are not so fine!
Do you want to make love with every beauty out there? You want to taste the best liquor and the best food? And you also want to have an affair with wives while their husbands die out of shame and envy?
Yes, you are asking for too much! Why don't you ask for the world while you are at it?
Agatha didn't speak out her thoughts aloud. She could tell from Kiba's voice and demeanor that he was serious about his dreams. She didn't want to hurt his ego. In the end, she thought she didn't have the right to judge him no matter how outlandish his dreams were.
”No, it is not too much to ask. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. I am sure you would succeed,” Agatha said with a forced smile.
Kiba started laughing. He could easily guess what she was thinking, but he didn't care. He knew his dreams would be looked down by the society but to him, it didn't matter. It was his life, and he wanted to live it in his own way.
Perhaps his life would be short with no glory or honor but in the end, there would be no regrets. He could die with a smile on his face.
Why should he worry about what others would think after he died? The only thing he cared was what he would think of himself if he wasted his life on some illusory future.
”The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams,” Kiba said. He left the balcony while Agatha was struck on the spot after hearing his final words.
