20 A loving warmth (1/2)

Robin turned towards where Izan headed off to. With everything Jiutian had told Robin, she did understand many things which she had wanted to ask Izan.

As she had most of her questions answered, she was satisfied by staying with Izan. Robin knew that sooner or later, Izan's path was to become the strongest, and on that same path, the truth about the Void Century.

Finding about the concept of many different worlds, Robin did lose a little of her intrigue for finding about the Void Century, but it was still there. And, she knew that she would be able to find it if she stayed with Izan.

After contemplating all of that, Robin decided that she would stay by Izan's side in the future. May it be in this world, or another. Robin's smile went slightly wider as she started walking towards where Izan was.

It took Robin half a minute before she stood in front of a crimson door which Robin thought was the entrance to Izan's room. Robin raised her hand and knocked softly on the door.

”Come in.”

A clear voice entered Robin's ears as she absentmindedly opened the door in front of her. What greeted Robin, was a simple room. A large bed on one side, with the other side having two chairs around a small round table with Izan sitting on one of them.

Izan raised one of his eyebrows as he glanced at Robin. Izan was rather tired at the thought of losing some of the 'crew members' he wanted to obtain. Therefore, Izan had never actually had hopes for any of them joining him on his path, which would lessen the stress he would get when they left.

Robin walked towards Izan with a smile and sat on the chair, sitting opposite of him as she stared into his jet-black eyes. ”Jiutian told me about you. After having carefully thought of everything, I wish to announce that I would like to stay with you.” Robin spoke in a clear voice as she continued staring at Izan.

Izan stayed silent as he observed Robin. Just by hearing Robin say that, did make Izan happy. But, he couldn't any longer go 'easy' on his future followers.

As if Robin could see through Izan's thoughts, she continued speaking. ”How about we make a deal?”

It took Izan a few seconds before he nodded slowly towards Robin, gesturing her to continue speaking about the 'deal'.

”Let me tell you what I will gain by staying by your side. In this world, I will be able to uncover the truth about the Void Century. And, I will also be able to see the extent of what the other worlds are like.” Robin explained with a smile on her face at the thought of all the hidden mysteries in the world.

”And, what I will give you. Is the responsibility of keeping me. You would be responsible in protecting me, guarding me, caring for me and love me.” Robin did understand from what Jiutian said about Izan, which was Izan had the mind of a Conqueror. ”What I would like to say is that, I want to become yours and only yours.” Robin said the last part in a whisper that only Izan could hear with a blush appearing on her face.

Izan wished to be able to keep what was his in his hands and not let go. This made it easier for Robin, as she was able to come up with a deal which benefited Izan in trusting Robin and Robin would be able to stay with Izan for the rest of her life with someone that cared and loved her for who she was.

”Are you sure…?” Izan tried to stay calm, but his voice held a tinge of anxiousness in it. He stared deeply into Robin's eyes, not wanting to miss any of her expressions, but all Izan was able to see, was her sincerity.

Robin didn't hesitate as she nodded her head while saying. ”Yes I am.”

Izan slowly stood up from his chair, as did Robin. Izan stared into Robin's eyes as he moved around the table towards Robin. Izan opened his arms slowly as he embraced Robin, not wishing to let go.

Right at this moment, Robin was happy. Happy to finally meet someone that truly cared for her and loved her.

She snuggled in Izan's embrace as she slowly whispered. ”I wish to see the world. Take me with you to the seas, islands, battlefields and the other worlds…”

Izan's eyes were closed as he felt the warmth of Robin as he slowly caressed her hair. Izan opened his mouth, a deep and low voice escaped his mouth. ”You're mine then. I will never let you go…”
