"Oi, Eugene!"
Saber's canine teeth looked so clear as the devoile grimaced happily. With a cheerful stomping step as usual, he approached Eugene who was lying in the backyard of the Western Assyre Palace.
"It's not usually." Saber threw a body next to her best friend.
Eugene glanced towards Saber. "You mean?"
"It's not usual to see you here after sunset. Usually you've disappeared somewhere."
"As far as I am, I want to be anywhere and anytime. It's none of your business."
"Did your father tell you to go to bed fast?" goda Saber's. Hearing Eugene's growl, Saber instantly removed the silly grin on her face.
"What's wrong? Are you having a problem?"
Eugene did not answer, instead closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep.
"You had a fight with your father?" Saber hasn't given up. Silence, there was only the sound of crickets.
"Did Scarlet piss you off? If so, I'll make him regret that he kept bothering you."
"Hmpf..," Eugene held back his laughter. "You won't be able to. How many times have you tried, always ending up with your battered face, right?"
Saber put on an annoyed face. "At least I tried, right...." Eugene laughing. "Well, thank you."
The two devoiles fell silent staring at the sea of stars in the sky. Eugene's instinct was to say that he shouldn't be here right now. His body seemed to be struggling to run towards the Deep Forest as usual, but the whispers in his heart held all that back. It felt like Eugene was unable to appear before Faye at the moment.
"Hey, Saber...."
" Oi?"
"Do you understand love?"
Saber choked on her own saliva. Eugene glanced at him pushyly. "Why are you asking such a strange question?" Saber's yellow eyes flashed in wonder.
"Jawab it."
"Are you crazy? The answer is, I don't know!" saber's screams are overrated. "Even if you ask all the devoiles in this country including your father though, I guarantee no one will know and you will only be a laughing stock! You're lucky to ask me, at least I won't laugh at you. Ah, you haven't asked anyone before me, have you?"
"Then how do you feel when you see a beautiful girl who catches your attention? How did you get in a relationship with him?"
Suddenly Saber looked gawking. The touch of Eugene's forehead, worried that his best friend was exposed to high fever until his brain working system was disrupted.
"What's? Which I obviously like. We're free to like a manapaun girl, right? Are you stranded in another realm, Eugene? There are no binding rules here. I can relate and have children with any girl. Girls are free to change whichever guy they like, right? Is there something wrong with you?" Saber frowned in horror at Eugene. "Come on, did you forget that my father and your father were in contact with the same woman? You're lucky Eugene, really lucky. Only your mother was pregnant from the hundreds of women your father had come into contact with Me and Scarlet were even born from different mothers, did you forget? Or did your head just hit something?"
Saber's long explanation might sound normal to Eugene before meeting Faye. But somehow, it feels strange now. Especially when you imagine, how Faye would react if he saw it related to other women. Without even glancing at the other girl, Eugene had already let Faye down and made the girl cry in front of him just because he was unsure of his own feelings. And Eugene doesn't want to touch any girl other than Faye. There was no other girl who was able to defeat Faye's beauty in Eugene's eyes.
"Eugene?" call saber again.
"Have you never felt pain in your chest?" Eugene's third question was no less strange to Saber.
"Why? When hit? Or slashed? Of course it hurts."
"Not that," sizzled Eugene seriously. "When you can't see the face of the girl you like. When he left you. You feel a loss?"
Saber's laughter this time was completely gushed out, unable to be restrained anymore.
"For Freya! That's the most ridiculous question I've ever heard, man!" Saber tried to stop her laughter while patting Eugene's shoulder. "Is there such pain? I've never heard of it in the whole history of devoile life! Even I who was far below your level of darkness never thought about it. Can you tell me, what the hell is your heart made of?? Is the dark stone of the crown prince of Western Assyre that soft? Oh....."
Eugene just stared at the busy Saber curled up with a flat gaze.
"I'm crazy....."
"Eh?" Saber turned her head when Eugene suddenly moved and developed his dark wings.
"Wait on! Where are you going, Eugene??"
"I have to go now."
"Oi!"
The Devoile could finally only sigh at Eugene's departure. After wriggling his body tired of laughing, Saber left the backyard with a face that looks tangled because he started thinking about the strangeness of his best friend just now. He was completely oblivious to the presence of the dark red-fluorescent devoile sitting hiding on the tree branch, gritting his teeth in annoyance.
Scarlet immediately made her wings and went to follow Eugene flying into the distance.
