52 Wounds of the pas (1/2)
”My lord we only have one room available”
At the moment Don was standing before a reception table talking with a blue-haired woman. After the fight in the tavern, Don and Arrora found this Inn after asking the direction of the nearest Inn.
Don knew it was already night time and was not sure about finding another Inn at this time but heating the lady he hesitated
”It's fine Joseph” Seeing Don hesitating Arrora decided to stay in the room with him.
”Alright, we'll take it” Don took out a pouch of coins after the lady slid him a piece of paper showing the price and the key towards him.
”Room A2B my lord, just head towards the stair and turn left, the second room in the corridor is yours”
Don just nodded and made his way towards his room with Arrora closely following him behind. After seeing the 'A2B' sign on the wall beside the door, Don put his key into the keyhole and opened it.
The room he was standing before was uncomfortably large. The floor was polished concrete, the walls white and the furniture looked like made of fine fabric in a design of clouds. Arrora could see the white curtains were linen, the kind of white that was untouched by hands and devoid of dust. There were no tables, no bookshelves, no dining table, but only three or four chairs arranged around the fireplace which was lit and gave the room a calm and natural feeling as well a large bed inlaid with fine white silk with red roses embroidered so delicately on the bedsheets.
Beside the bed, Don saw another Don which he guessed which must be a restroom as he walked inside the room.
Arrora hesitantly closed the door
”You sleep on the bed I'll take the couch” Arrora heard Don as he was closing the curtains and said without even looking back at her
”No I can take the couch you take the bed”
”As a man, it won't be gentlemanly to let you take the couch”
Hearing Don Arrora couldn't help but giggle as Don stood there looking at the starry night in the small gap between the curtains.
”Then how could a gentleman like you handle a girl like that?”
Arrora still remembered Don throwing that girl into the walls without even thinking about for a second
”Like I've said Arrora I believe in gender equality beside that girl shouldn't have touched Uncle Dior”
Arrora walked towards him and stood beside looking at the sky with Don
”If you truly believe in gender equality then why can't we share the bed?”
Arrora didn't care about what others would think about sharing a bed with another man and besides she trusted him to not act like Bryan. She knew if Don wanted he could do anything to her using the master-slave bond but until now he didn't use it not even for a second.
Don was a little shocked and surprised to hear Arrora as he shook his head
”We can't because I saw many girls fall in love for a lot less than sharing the bed with a guy”
It was true in the divine continent, Don saw many young misses blush and fall in love just because a guy touched her pinky. He and Knight saw enough cliche love stories that destroyed many lives.
Just like Don Arrora was also shocked to hear Don but she started to giggle
”Don't worry I won't be like those girls” but before she could continue further Don looked at her
”So take the bed” seeing the determination in his voice Arrora realized he was adamant so she nodded her head
”So can you tell me about where you came from? I believe its called divine continent”
Don was surprised to see Arrora talk this much and he could see her courage grown unlike the first time he met her
”Yes but it's just a continent like Avelon Continent here”
”You were born here right then how did you go to a whole new world?”
When Arrora asked this question she could feel something change in his posture as he shook his head
”That's a mystery even to me”
”Don't you miss that place? Do you have anyone there?”
Arrora never talked to Don this much because he was often going out or surrounded by people but now she decided to get to know him better
Don breather a heavy sigh
