3 CHAPTER 3: My artifacts... (2/2)
”And I just became king here too since I was known as the savior who just killed the Evil Goddess...”.
Ru was looking very bored of his feeble ramblings. She went and leaned near him quite unnoticibly. She yawned quite scandalously yet lady-like after, to pose boredom and disinterest. More than that, she said,
”You done yet...”.
Though, Zeran was persistent. So he stood up, distanced himself from her, pointed out in such a manner to her and he says with great confidence in his look, trying to prove himself correct upon his words,
”Yeah...and this what I have to say...”
”IT WAS YOU BEHIND THE SCENES AND ALL YOUR DOING SINCE THE GREAT GODDESS SAID SO!”
”AND THE GREAT GODDESS I MEAN...ANGEHIME!”.
He was able to make her notice him and even made her to twitch her ears in a sudden manner. The atmosphere became quiet. Though, sometime soon, she replies back in a lazy manner afterwards, proving him he was just beating on the shallow waters of the events,
”Uh huh...her huh...”.
She sat down on her bed in an abrupt manner. She facepalmed with a stressed look on her face, that was filled with grave disappointment on what she had heard from the ever hero chosen by the light Goddess and said,
”Can't believe you were so easily convinced by her hero...”
”Just because she said so...you followed her and even killed me...without her showing any links or evidence that I caused it...”.
Somehow, Zeran looked partially convinced and steered down his full blown pride and confidence, over his justified statements,
(”Yeah...come to think of it...Angehime didn't even show any image or visions about this Evil Goddess doing it...”)
(”And when I came to this Evil Goddess' better looking chamber before...she was just sleeping quite defenselessly with...”)
(”A PLUSH DOLL LOOKING LIKE ME THAT SHE WAS HUGGING VERY TIGHTLY!”)
Though, it seemed there was still an ounce of persistence left in him, as he blurts out quite annoyingly,
”But still...YOU ARE THE EVIL GODDESS!”
”AND IF YOU LIVE! EVIL WOULD STILL PROSPER...”
”NOT ONLY THAT...BUT MY COMPANIONS WILL DESTROY YOU ONCE AGAIN!”.
Ru looked more dissatisfied in her face, as she heard his light words and made her to be pissed-off with great absurdity. Not only that, she kinda looked at him with flooding pity in her eyes such as he was little kid in his own mindset despite revered as a veteran hero and former king. Thereon, she said,
”Sigh...for someone who is behold divinely by not only one Light Goddess but several Light Goddesses in other worlds you've been through...”
”You kinda dissapoint me...”
”I thought you were a veteran being a hero who had seen lots of events and twisted incidents even from the INSIDE...”
”But really...you're just a kid who just wanna be a hero in all his lifetime...”
”And trusts too much of his friends...”.
She stood close to him with her sinister yet, soothing smile and serene voice,
”Nonetheless...you'll still do my bidding...”
”Oh and maybe...you'll see something much more interesting...”
”When you're with me...♪”
That made him to twitch his eye in a glimpse as of being kinda creeped out, his very skin felt goosebumps, turning him to utter out words like a cornered mouse,
”I don't have much of a choice do I?”.
He scratched his head and he was filled with a dumbfounded expression. Ru was wearing her sarcastic look on her face and said with subtle eagerness, cracking out a devilish grin upon her beautiful face of a deadly maiden, although it seemed she was also depicting an angelic aura too in some way or another,
”Hmmmm...no...”
”So wear this for me...would you...”
”I just made this all for you...♪”.
While, she brought out a seemingly bold looking gift dyed in red tied with, a black ribbon and gave it to him. Though, she was feeling great excitement mixed with shyness, as her cheeks were blushing like a tomato in a subtle way. Zeran in turn looked very dumbstruck especially in his thoughts and expression yet, he didn't seem to notice the look on her face. Though, he was more puzzled with the box she was holding, turning him to delve in his thoughts surprisingly,
(”What the?! How did she brought out that present INSTANTLY?!”)
(”Nevermind...”)
(”She's still a GODDESS per se...”).
There after, the air became still with a heavenly feel. Zeran took the gift from her hand. Somehow, he accidentally touched her slim hands, that turned Ru to feel a surge of intense emotions of fleeting amd flutterring hearts in a glimpse same as for Zeran. The two of them were in a slight trance of romantic sensation, despite the two of them have been with each other for a short time in a not so gentle way. Zeran's heart skipped a beat for a moment and he noticed that Ru's breathing became heavy. Though, she just twisted her face away from him, since she doesn't want him to notice her feverish looking self, turning him to snap out of his romantic trance aswell as hers. He didn't mind her embarassing outlook, since his thoughts were focussed on other things. Later, he opened the gift. There, he saw a set of dyed in gold and black royal-like cloak, Black undergarments and a black pendant. As soon as, he saw that, he just sighed with a tiresome look on his face. As for Ru, she left him and went outside for sometime. Whence, she wasn't there anymore, Zeran wore the outfit given to him. Ru on the other hand, went around her garden to cut-off some time and to ease of her feverish self for Zeran. Thereon, she saw the glowing blue flower buds blooming with amazing grace, that illuminated the whole place with such mystical feel in it. The falling winds were soothing to the touch despite the enclosed space with cracks of light on the walls. Afterwards, as she kinda sensed that he is now finished wearing it she went back inside her humble home. Her eyes met the new look of Zeran. As he was now looking more bad*ss and kinda cool with, the deep black long-sleeved royal cloak ridden in golden fur on its edges. His hands gripped in clean white gloves. His black undergarments and silky pants seeped in abyss black. His shining golden metal-plated greaves fitted on his feet, revering of a valiant appearance. Lastly, he was wearing the black pendant, not around his neck rather, wrapped around his left wrist that spelled ruthlessness. Ru was quite pleased when she saw him like a renowned royal prince. Her look on him was filled with great amazement and interest. Hher tail was wagging quite gracefully yet filled in eagerness. Her eyes were oh so sparkling for the appreciation of him wearing her hand-made clothes, in which her eyes were so evangelistic to see, despite she was an evil Goddess. Then, she said with clasping her maiden-like hands,
”Ara...now you look even more stunning...”
”My hero♪”
”With that...let's head to a certain place now...shall we?”.
While she offered her hand to him like a real Goddess would to her hero, yet, Zeran just closed his eyes since he was having second thoughts,
(”I'll just play around with this woman for now...”)
(”And KILL that be DAMNED ex-wife the queen of mine in the process too...”)
(”But I'll find a way to talk to the Great Goddess Angehime...and ask her on some things...”).
Though, he just grabbed and took her hand after. Then, he looked at her filled with such determination yet filled with defiance in it too. Ruhime countered it with her sinister smirk on her face, that turned the whole feel of grievious sinistry and terror, since the two desecrations had agreed upon but, there were fleeting purple butterflies of calming sensation that had encroached around the place, depicting a growing mutual bond between them, not in the chains of carnal lust but something much deeper.
