DESTINY GIRL
22. Asgar Follows Rey
Alice knocked quietly on Rey's door. With no answer, he finally came in and called Rey.
" Miss Rey .... ? "
" Yes, I'm taking a shower, please prepare a simple dress. I'll be out today "
" Okay, Miss "

After breakfast, Rey asks permission to leave. He immediately teleported to a nearby market. The market looks as crowded as ever.
Rey goes around occasionally buying cakes or anything that catches her eye. He did not realize that someone was watching while following him some distance away. The man had long been waiting for his presence to return.
A little boy hugged her suddenly. Rey recognized.
" Ah .... little sister, how are you ? "
The little boy smiled as he patted his stomach. Then pointed at the bag of cake Rey was holding.
" O.... Are you hungry ? Come on, let's eat together "
Rey pulled the boy's hand over in the hallway. They sat together eating cake. Suddenly someone came crouching in front of them. Rey is surprised to find out who the man in front of her is. Hugged the little boy and stood up.
That man is none other than the Knight Asgar. But the Asgar Knight remained crouched and lowered his head.
" I came to apologize for causing your grandmother's injury. I'm willing to be punished for not realizing who you are "
" You mean, who am I ? "
" You are the Girl of Destiny belonging to the Eternal Sovereign "
" ............ , . I have no right to punish you "
" I'll keep following you, Your Majesty. Whatever your orders will be I do, but I will not go (meaning faithful to be subordinates) "
" Alright, but don't call me "Your Majesty" . I'm just a regular guy "
" Good, Which... mm.... ... Princesses "
" MISS only "
" Okay, Miss "
" Wake up "
Knight Asgar woke up but still lowered his head, he no longer dared to look at Rey's face just like that. Rey held out a cake to Asgar.
" No, Miss, I don't deserve it "
But Rey still stretched out her hand without saying anything, making Asgar afraid and accepted.
The little boy beckoned Asgar to eat the cake immediately. Then he pointed to the water jar hanging from Asgar's waist. Asgar shook his head because it was not ordinary drinking water, but wine.
Rey opened her palm, a beam of light shot out and pointed at the Asgar water jar. Asgar almost jumped in surprise. Rey asked for the water jar and gave it to the little boy. Soon the boy drank it greedily. Then return it to Asgar. Asgar looked for a moment at the pot and downed the water. He was surprised because the water felt good and refreshing, not like the wine he usually brought.
Then the boy hugged Rey for a bit and went home. Rey also immediately exited the hallway followed by Asgar.
" Asgar, did you bring a horse ? "
" Yes, Miss. If you need it, I'll find it for you "
" No, I already have. Call your horse "
Asgar was whistling in a certain tone. I heard a lot of horse feet. A grey horse came closer. He sizzled a little beside Asgar. Then lowered his head and bent one leg in front of Rey. Of course Asgar was astonished, how could his horse be so respectful towards Miss Rey ? do animals know who is in front of them ?
Rey just smiled and patted the horse on the head. Then Rey looked towards the forest while muttering. Soon there was a horse approaching. A long white horse that was not very tall. Rey rode it easily. Asgar immediately climbed on his horse. They're moving west.
