Arc 3 The Man of Castilarux.
Chapter 30
Humans are creatures that are naturally seeking survival and happiness and because of that it makes them dangerous and uncontrollable, even though some are obedient, they only do it to find their happiness... During the Era of new gods which is about 70 years ago, the third prince of Castilarux was sitting under an apple tree and couldn't wait to get out of this garden and show his older brothers how much he improved on his swordsmanship but he was waiting for someone under this tree.
Casy: hey! Edwick!
Edwick: ah! There you are! Did you know how long I was waiting for you? A maid shouldn't leave her master waiting.
Casy: I'm so sorry master! I was caught up in something!
Edwick: something like what?
Casy: your elder brother the first prince kept asking me where you were and I had to lie to him because of this secret meeting of ours.
Edwick: well soon we won't have to meet in secret anymore when I take you as my wife next year.
Casy: then I can't wait... Well let's go to the river! (she ran ahead)
Edwick: OK wait for me!
Edwick and Casy went out of the castle town and headed for the river where they always go to hang out in secret and after having some fun together, Edwick came close to Casy and hugged her from behind.
Edwick: you look pretty as always today.
Casy: and you look handsome as always Ed....
Casy turned around and kissed Edwick in a deep passionate kiss and Edwick started undoing her bra and underwear stripping her naked and lifting her up his arms, she hold tight to him and then he kissed her neck and all the way to her lips, their bodies rubbed against each other as Edwick started to move and Casy's moans escaped her lips as their passion got stronger with each passing movement and moans, and their love Increasing with each passing second, Edwick gently placed Casy on the shore of the river to get a good position and view of her body and continued where he left off, Casy moaned a bit louder as she held on to his arms and clenched her toes when he moved faster and faster as he was about to climax, Edwick gave her a deep kiss as he released inside her.
Edwick: (huff huff) that... Was amazing...
Casy: (huff huff) you came inside me for the third time, now I'm bound to get pregnant!
Edwick: and I keep telling you that I'll take responsibility and you're gonna be my wife soon... I love you Casy and that will never change.
Casy: I love you too Edwick....
And the moment was sealed with a kiss.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back to the present, the Crimson Fate party finally arrived at Lotus city after four days of traveling, and the view of the City? Was amazing as it was mostly made of forest and the buildings were high buildings and tree houses which can make you question if this was a actually a city, but it was big enough to fit the description. When Alex and his group reached the gate they showed their IDs to the elven guards and then they got approved and passed through the gate.
Albert: this shit is amazing every time I see it.
Rachel: yeah No one but the elves can make nature look so beautiful.
Kali: even though it's a city of elves, there are a couple of humans and beast-folk.
Albert: it was originally built by elves and they are welcoming towards other races except for one.
Alex: Dark Elves?
Albert: yep!
Alex: I thought so.
Albert: don't worry about it, you may have dark skin and a southern but you're human so chill.
Alex:... OK I'll take your word on it.
Albert: cool now you guys find an inn, a restaurant and the adventurer's guild or just explore the town and I'll be off for a little bit... and oh don't forget to officially register yourselves as C ranks. See ya! (instantly dissappears)
Alex: wait!
Sion: too late he's gone.
Kali: he can't leave us all alone in this town, we don't even know anything about this place! Where is he going anyways?
Sion: probably going to a brothel or something.
When Sion was saying that... a woman with strange aura radiating from her hands passed through them and Sion was the only one who noticed it.
Sion:... What was that?
Alex: what was what?
Sion:... It's nothing... Let's find the adventurer's guild of this city.
Alex: sure let's go guys.
Rachel: uh... Sorry but me and Kali have some plans.
Alex: oh? Really? I guess we'll meet up with you later then.
Rachel: yeah sure (kisses Alex on the cheek) see you later!
Kali: (also kisses Alex on the cheek) I'll... (runs away nervously) that meant nothing okay!
Alex and Sion: (man what a tsun tsun)
Rachel and Kali headed out to somewhere else while Sion and Alex headed to the adventurer's guild, when they got there, the guild was filled with adventurers of different kinds and some were taking missions while some were just hanging around there, but the ones who caught Alex's attention was the big masculer man who was hitting on a female receptionist who looked very uncomfortable.
Adventurer: come on, let me take you out will ya?
Receptionist: (nervously uncomfortable) please... I said no already.
Adventurer: come on girl I just wanna have some fun.
Alex:... That guy...
Sion: just leave it and let's do what we came here to do.
Alex: hey you!
Sion: (oh lord)
Adventurer: what the heck do you want?
Alex: can't you see you're making her uncomfortable? Just abort the mission bro.
Adventurer: what the fuck did you just say brat?!
Alex: I said leave her alone and at least make yourself likable!
Other adventurers: (oh shit!!!)
Receptionist: (giggles)
Sion: likable? Nah he needs a good scrubbin first.
Alex: scrubbin? I doubt even royals can spend enough gold to make this dude look better!
Sion: yeah and when Bell spreads the water of beauty every November, dude is absent from Earth.
Other adventurers: (DAMN!!!)
Receptionist: (bursts to laughter)
Adventurer: you... You little shits! I'm going to fuck you up!
The man's pride was wounded and he went in a rage and tried to attack Alex with his fist but, to Alex he was moving too slow.
Alex: why is he soo slow? (he dodges the punch and counter him with with a punch in his back and the adventurer was knocked out with one hit and his eyes rolled to the back of his head)
Adventurer 2: no way! He knocked that guy out with one hit?!
Adventurer 3: wasn't that guy he just knocked a D rank?
Adventurer 2: and that red head was hella fast too!
Adventurer 4: then these guys must be about C or B rank!
Adventurer 2: that would be amazing cuz we don't get much adventurers who are above D.
Sion: it looks like we attracted attention to ourselves.
Alex: did you hear that? They said I'm strong!
Sion:....
Alex: but how did I beat this guy without using aura? It was soo easy to.
Sion: I think your body adapted to the feeling of fighting, because of the battles we've been through lately, like fighting Anos and then after that you were back to learning aura control and fighting monsters. I think that's the reason.
Alex: I see... Well let's rank up now.
Sion: yeah. (they approached the receptionist)
Alex: hi were here to officialize our rank.
Receptionist: oh it's you guys! Thanks for your help with that guy.
Alex: don't worry about it. I did what I thought was right...but...
Receptionist: oh don't worry about him, the staff will carry him away.
Alex: oh that's reassuring. Anyways here's our adventurers cards
They handed over their adventurers cards and the receptionist took a look at them and wrote down some information on a document and then stamped it and put it away, then she handed their cards back.
Receptionist: Congratulations, you're now officially C rank Adventurers and you're now qualified to take on C rank missions and fight C to B rank monsters.
Adventurer 2: holy shit! Did she just say C rank?!
Adventurer 4: I knew it!
Adventurer 5: wow! I've never seen others that surpassed D rank except for Gaaland's party! The Great Blades!
Sion: (the Great Blades? Sounds like a cheap copy of the Great Storm)
Alex: (to the receptionist) hey I uh... Would like to register a party.
Receptionist: a party huh? Well then you must have four and above members to form a party.
Alex: actually there are four of us but the other two are not with us at the moment.
Receptionist: then I'll put you on standby for party registration until you bring back the other two.
Alex: ok cool.
Sion: quick question, who are the Great Blades?
Receptionist: what?! You don't know who the Great Blades are? Then I guess you're not from the northern continent are you?
Sion: uhh... Yeah.
Receptionist: I see, well then the Great Blades are the new rising stars of the north as they've reached A rank a few months ago and almost every kid wants to be like them, especially Gaaland their leader... And the most handsome guy I've ever seen!... Uh oh yeah and they are gonna become hero candidates soon.
Alex: wow that sounds so cool!
Sion: I see... Thanks for everything.
Receptionist: no no I should be the one to thank you and don't forget to bring your other members next time.
Alex: we won't
Sion: see ya.
Alex and Sion left the guild as other adventurers were still talking about the what happened that day and soon it might reach the ears of certain people. Alex and Sion were walking together around the town as Sion suddenly remembered something.
Sion: (ah yeah there was that girl today with the weird aura in her hands, I should go check it out, it's about time I found something interesting) hey Alex I'm heading off.
Alex: really? To where?
Sion: Just something I gotta check out, see you later! (runs off)
Alex:.... I'm left all alone (sigh)... Now that I think about it, they just dumped everything to me!
After Sion has left Alex behind, he went out to look for the woman he sensed earlier and that led him to a local restaurant where it appeares that she works at that restaurant. Sion waited patiently until it was 8PM where her shift's end. After she finished sorting everything out she left the store and went on her way. As she was working through the night enjoying her own company and having a bit of a sad expression on her face, she came across a boy who was standing on her way, such a young and pretty? boy was just standing there looking like he was expecting her, "such a pretty person looking at me with those attracting green eyes like gems, is it an angel? Have my miserable life come to an end? Why does it feel like if he told me to do anything I would do it?" the woman thought as the boy 'Sion' came closer to her with a pretty look on his eyes.
Sion: hey.
Martha: h...hey(nervous)
Sion: you look lonely, well I'm lonely too wanna hang out?
Martha: aren't way too old for your... Hang out buddy?
Sion: (laughs) I guess you are... But I don't care, kids my age are boring and weird
Martha: you're kinda weird yourself...
Sion: I know, that's why I'm here with you...to see how far my weirdness go, so wanna hang out?
Martha:.... S...sure.
Sion just made a new friend? in just a moment and Martha... She doesn't know what she just walked in to. The night just got interesting in Lotus city as Alex is just walking around the city, Rachel and Kali have a bit of a surprise in store, Sion is about to change the life of a woman he just met forever and Albert... Well he got some business he has to take care of with the Ducher family. The night continues as an old man with a sword for a walking stick passes through the city gate with a tired look on his face.
Old man: Drogo... I'll teach that stupid brat a lesson... Causing us so much trouble (scratches his neck that had a red hand tattoo on it) well it's time for me to head to this Ducher family or whatever.
Chapter end!
