The smile on her face caught my attention as I looked at her.
"Tell me about it!" She exclaimed loudly.
"The kiss was very good, soft lips and a sweet smell. However, I was forced to break free once I saw your face," I said as I stared into her eyes.
"What does it have to do with me?" she innocently asked.
"That's impossible, as the one I was kissing was you. If you are uncomfortable, how can I continue?" I replied shamelessly.
As her mouth opened wide, she was speechless and turned her head away to avoid looking at me.
Do you want to play with me? But then my ears caught the granny's laugh.
Ah well, at least someone is happy.
Despite that, Amelia wasn't looking at me; she was acting more like a little girl. A short time later, Diana returned, but Granny called her and she sat next to her.
Oh, I am so lonely in this world," I moaned, but then Amelia looked at me seriously and said,
"I spoke with Granny and we've decided to let you go."
The moment she said they would let me go, I was speechless. What kind of joke is this? First, they made me stay in this village, and now they are telling me they will let me go?
"Was it a joke?" I asked her seriously.
"Listen to me first, and don't jump to conclusions," she said right away.
"When I first met you, I thought you would be the sole one, but then I met her and then Diana. I think there is a chance that any of you might be the one."
"So?" I asked.
"You are still too weak to help us. To grow, you have to see the world. Anyhow, we have lived in this village for so long, a few more years will not make any difference"
"Will Diana also leave here?" I asked Amelia.
She shook her head and replied, "No, she will be here. We will groom her. It surprised me that Diana had so much potential. If groomed properly, I do not doubt that she will become someone great."
My attention turned to Diana, who had just finished talking to Granny with a smile on her face.
Diana smiled as she looked at me, and I smiled back in response. My smile turned to a wry grin as I looked at Amelia, who waited patiently for my reply.
"What did you say to her?" I asked Amelia.
"Diana is free to do whatever she wants - whether to go back or become stronger. No one should force her."
"We'll talk to her," Amelia said.
After nodding, I asked.
"What if I don't return?"
The look on her face changed for a fraction as she asserted, "I believe you will not betray m...granny, but even if you do, we will think that we made the wrong choice."
"The reason we're letting you go is that you will also know of other people who are trying to take advantage of us; you need to see both sides," she said seriously.
I don't understand what she's trying to say. It appears, however, that she wants me to go back and see what other people have been up to and to become stronger.
Honestly, I don't know how to proceed. It took me a while to make up my mind.
"Ok, I will go," I said to Amelia.
"Good, I'll talk with you after dinner", she said after staring at me for a while.
As I nodded, I smiled. Just yesterday, I began my life in a village, and today it ended. However, what she said is true. Being holed up in the village will not help me. This world is still new to me, so I will learn more about it and get a better perspective on it.
"So when do you want me to leave?" I asked Amelia after dinner.
"After the training is completed, you will be allowed to leave," Amelia said.
"Then what will happen if they suspect me of meeting you people?" I asked.
"Don't worry about that, I'll fix it," Amelia told me before leaving. I noticed her fading figure before feeling someone grab my hands.
Turning around, I saw Diana holding my hands with a slight smile on her face.
"Did they ask you anything?" I asked her, looking at her beautiful place.
Her eyes started tearing up as she nodded at me.
"Then what did you decide?" I asked her, eagerly awaiting her answer.
"I will stay here. This world is a jungle. If you are weak, no one will respect you. I want to become stronger so that no one can take my life away from me. I will always be here to help you with anything you need."
Patting her cheek, I smiled softly and said, "Good for you for making this decision. I believe it will help you reach your potential."
"Go to sleep now, we'll meet tomorrow," I said to her as she nodded and kissed my cheek, and hurried away.
I rubbed my cheek where she kissed me, but as I did, I saw Liam staring straight at me with wide-open eyes.
Laughing, I said to him, "Sorry dude, you'll need to look for another one," then walked back to my place.
He is an innocent bystander, too naïve to plot anything against me. He may try to woo her, but I know she will not be moved.
I was lying in bed when I heard a knock at the door. Who could be there?
Turning my head, I saw Amelia opening the door.
Ah, she rarely waits at the door. I noticed she held something in her hand.
"What brings you here right now?" I asked as I stood up.
"Am I not welcome?" she asked me with a smirk.
"It isn't like that. You came at this time, which is why I asked," I replied quickly.
"Oh... OK, I prepared a parting gift for you." She handed me a bottle filled with red liquid.
"What is it?" I asked, carefully inspecting it.
"Blood of GOD"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The smile on her face caught my attention as I looked at her.
