LEILA'S DREAM: Three Possibilities

CHAPTER 14: THE SOUL OF LEILA

Leila clapped her hands to ask for the attention of the three twins who initially threw pillows at each other and sometimes Raccoon also followed them like a ball.

"All right! Time for a fairy tale before bed!" Leila exclaimed with a cheerful tone that made the twins' third eyes sparkle.

"Tell me about the big monster that had the mountain back again, Leila!" Atlas exclaimed with a small wooden sword that he carried with him everywhere.

"I want that one! The one about the blue-colored mushroom!" Exclaim Arden who does not want to lose to Atlas.

"No! Let's tell you about that cool, horrible monster!"

"No! Leila! Please tell me about the plants we picked at that time!"

"The monster!" Atlas's strangulation towards Arden was very contrary to the wishes of both of them.

"No, blue mushrooms!"

Leila could only smile wryly seeing the two unwilling to budge. Leila looked at Adrian who was so calm with Raccoon who was in a sling that seemed to faint. Seen once if he was very dizzy after being thrown to and fro by the twins.

"Adrian," the name's owner looked at the woman who had azure blue netra, "What do you want?"

The boy who was famous for his calmness paused for a moment thinking what he wanted for tonight's fairy tale, "I want your library," though he uttered in his usual tone, but her eyes were full of twinkle and hope that Leila could see.

Why is nothing normal here?!

"Okay, everyone was lying on their own beds," quickly the three of them crawled onto the bed and pulled the blanket to the neckline. Waiting for Leila to bring them into the world that Leila made for them.

Leila who sat in front of the three mattresses cleared her throat for a moment and said, "What about the hero story again?" Fresh Leila who got a flat gaze from the three as if to say, "Is there nothing else?"

"Come on! I guarantee you'll like it!"

The three of them had started to get fed up and memorized out of their heads how the plot would be told by Leila. This is the umpteenth time and Leila did not tire of telling it as a fairy tale before going to bed.

It's not without reason that Leila told me about heroes. Given their interest, they need to be wary of. The book Adrian read was quite heavy and it made his brain will be more diluted.

For a child who began to like the sword training of his two brothers it was very fond of discussing monsters. Leila remembers that Atlas in the story 'Everuz Golden River' was a monster tamer.

As for the owner of my eyes that can turn sharp it is a person who likes to torture his victims and belongs to the class of crazy people with blood.

Leila looked at the three with a deep word, Come on, I'm doing this for you too. To make your future better.

Leila who continues to tell about how this continent used to be uninhabitable without realizing Noah standing on the side of the door slightly open. Seeing her three sons begin to feel drowsy and when Leila began to believe the three were asleep stopped her story.

The story he brought was what he experienced in his first life. Full of hurt and vengeance.

"Why am I there to be the antagonist?" Inner Noah who felt his figure in the eyes from generation to generation only got worse.

Leila sees the Raccoon who has begun to realize and realizes that he is in the arms of death Adrian immediately tried to release himself. But, the little hands of the child were too tightly hugging him. Leila, who realizes it, tries to loosen Adrian's embrace without trying to wake the little man who is obsessed with his library.

The raccoon that managed to escape from the embrace of death immediately shot out of the room of the demons and looking for the safest place according to him. Leila could only conclude a thin smile at Raccoon's action and re-fix the blanket for Adrian.

"... Leila's."

The boy did not sleep either. Leila looked at the softly still half-conscious Adrian, "What's cold? I can add another blanket."

Adrian shook his head very slowly. The little boy bled as red as the intoxicating drink with the first emerald-like neutrals looked at him with a glare. "... Perp."

He still thinks about it!

Leila patted the surface of the blanket that looked bloated, "It's already night. Let Fairy Frey come to visit."

Adrian heard it. Leila said that the fairy would come at a time of happiness that could not be accommodated anymore. A feeling of wanting to stay awake and tell the world how happy he is. When drowsiness began to come the fairy who said Leila was small like a firefly it would come and blow the most beautiful dreams that would come true in the real world.

"... Yeah, good night, Leila. I love you."

Hearing the words she could always hear from the mouth of a small child with a calm face sometimes made Leila's heart flowery. It felt, his fatigue disappeared replaced by that sincere statement.

Leila's hand moved and stroked the red mane of the wine, "Me too. Sleep that wails the little professor."

Without her noticing Leila stroked the surface of her stomach that had once bulged it. The feeling of kicking legs and when he took the little guy in the stomach in response made him smile to himself. Those beautiful and bitter memories made Leila take a deep breath and turn away from the twins room.

When Leila opened the door to the twins' room, she was shocked to see their father.

Why is Duke here?!

"Good night, Duke," Leila's great-grandson as she slowly closed the twins' bedroom door.

Noah who saw the corner of the woman's eyes a little watery made him think it was possible if Leila needed a break. "... Night."

"Then I say retreat, excuse me."

Leila walked to the left in a hurry. Noah said, "You're going the wrong way."

"Ah? Uh! I-iya," how stupid of you, Leila. "Please excuse me again, Duke."

Leila walked back and Noah who walked behind her made Leila unable to move freely. The man seemed to follow in his footsteps. Leila decided to stop right near the park with a silhouette of an old building that no one was allowed to enter.

The moon is seen shining in place of their current illumination. All the candles are turned off and Leila doesn't need any candles either. He had memorized it outside the head of the road to his room.

"Duke, do you want to say something?" Leila asked with a forced smile as she was tired today. After all, the stalker often noticed it.

Ding!

[THE GOD OF DEATH IS WATCHING YOU.]

Just thought it had appeared, right!

Noah looked down thinking for a moment and glanced at the silhouette of something disturbing from the tail of his eyes. The old building where she painted her Leila turned out to be.

Noah looked at Leila with a golden yellow netra now. Leila is now not so dizzy and curious. It was possible that this was a power possessed by the D'Arcy bloodline. 

He's a descendant of heroes.

After all he also explained how the figure of the Aria River was using its power. The golden yellow netra is a sign blessed by Gods.

Is it possible that Duke is too?

But, as he recalled, he did not make Noah Eugene D'Arcy's character at all.

Explain the past simply.

"Do you have a sister?"

Hearing that of course made Leila's forehead shrivel in confusion, "Sister?"

Hearing the explanation of the physical characteristics of the figure that Noah meant made Leila stop breathing for a moment. It was his physical feature in his first life. After all, from what he heard, his late wife also had the same hair color as the twins. Leila gave her non-verbal answer, shaking her head as she said, "Sorry, no, Duke. I'm an only child."

"... Really true?"

Why is he so insistent, anyway?!

"But, you...." The moonlight that illuminated the two of them began to close and Leila could see very clearly. The golden-yellow Netra lit up looking at him, "It looks exactly the same as it does."

Noah who still had not given up even in life this time felt a little if this time he was sure. After hundreds of red-haired girls he met and ended up with this time for the same name and face just looking more mature.

The golden-yellow-pitched man took a step to take a closer look at the woman in front of him. Leila who felt the distance between the two of them was getting closer to the sound of a very disturbing notification made her want to scream and scold the system.

Ding!

[DEATH GODS DON'T LIKE THE STORYLINE YOU CREATE.]

[THE GOD OF DEATH ADVISES YOU TO LEAVE THE D'ARCY MANSION IMMEDIATELY AND RETURN TO BE THE GUARDIAN OF THE HOLY LAND.]

Si! If I scream. I'll be branded crazy by, Duke.

If Noah took a step forward, then Leila would take a step back. And so on until Leila unconsciously while backward turning until her heels hit the wall.

Si! Now he's trapped.

Leila could see Noah who was not blinking at all staring at her intensely. Like he was looking for something from himself.

I'm poor. Don't take my money, Duke, Leila's inner self who can't stand Noah's attitude that makes her look like a little mouse in front of a panther. Not without reason Noah kept staring at Leila. However, he saw something on the woman's chest shining quite brightly. His soul. The same soul he saw from little Leila.

That's you!

This time he found her.

Noah's expression changed as Leila could see. However, with this position various kinds of negative thoughts that he will experience in the near future have flooded his mind. Noah could see it because of the power that was still attached to his soul. Noah could see deep into one's soul. That was why he took a step back and secluded himself after seeing one by one the souls of his comrades in arms.

The aura they exited was very different when they were still adventuring.

"Hmm, Duke? Can you back off?"

Hearing Leila's voice in front of him made her grin now. Coloring a girl who likes to pull her hair no harm is not.

Not according. Noah took one big step until Leila actually pushed her body flat against the wall. Noah ruffled his waist and looked down at Leila who was only modest in height, "If not. What do you want, hm?" It was a sentence that little Leila used to say to her.

Leila did not dare look Noah in the eye. He really doesn't like this distance. His heart rate sounded very clear. Even more, this strange feeling appeared. The temperature in her body slowly increased and Leila hoped that she would not look strange now.

Seeing Leila just silently Noah quickly pulled the woman's chin to look back at her, "If someone asks you. Look him in the eye."

Leila shook her head quickly. He is weak when stared at like this. Noah's eyes were as deadly as the man he once let rest in his heart.

"D-Duke...." The honest Leila was already weak and could not think clearly now. He only thought of his heart beat that sounded very clear.

One hope now.

Something impossible, luck is coming!

From the conclusion Noah took after the hundreds of red-haired women he thought were Leila's reincarnations. They'll never remember a life before, but a real one doesn't. Although only a little bit of her soul was the same as Leila. Noah continued to hope to meet her.

So, how did he make this woman in front of him never disappear again?

Even though she has Leila's soul. That's enough. He just needs to make new memories with her. In a way to avenge her after all little Leila did to her. It could be that the Great Witch as well as this former hero was played by a child.

"You have to take responsibility."

Leila turned to hear it. Now he looked at Noah in disbelief.

Didn't he hear wrong.

Waita minute.

The memory in the past of how Leila accidentally nudged and broke a jar that turned out to contain Noah's favorite Akasha tea leaves.

Akasha tea leaves cannot be stored carelessly. If it has been in contact with direct sunlight, it will be damaged and at that time also Akasha tea leaves which were originally black turned into a grayish color.

W-does she know it was me, the inner Leila who just found out that day also what the price for tea was comparable to the worth of the plantation land.

Even though he had money from the sale of books. But, still it made his life half-float.

Leila looked at Noah who was still faithfully holding his chin, "Do you want me to be responsible about that?" Tanya Leila held Noah's hand which made her neck hurt if she kept this position continuously.

Noah's eyes rounded not believing what he was hearing. What is Leila or what is she referring to, but in this case it may be possible that Leila remembers memories of the past. However, his current appearance was different from the previous one.

"Yes, you have to take responsibility, Leila." Lirih Noah and in particular mention the name Leila with a whispering tone right in her earlobes. It managed to make Leila's face flushed slightly due to the feeling of embarrassment caught off guard and the uncomfortable feeling it caused her body.

Why the memories of spending time with br*ngs*k man on the bed he remembers now?!

"And... If I may know, what is it, Duke?"

Noah withdrew his hand with a quick glance from the corner of the passageway that he could see was very clear there was someone who was eavesdropping on the conversation of the two of them. Noah quickly pulled Leila's wrist, "Follow me."

The youngest servant in the mansion saw what made him think no-no. The girl who had a bright orange mane looked suspiciously at the two of them.

"So, has Duke ever met Leila before?"

The girl named Jean was sneaking around. Still with curiosity he saw Leila being pulled by the Duke into the room which was the Duke's private room. His own bedroom.

"I can't hear. But why the room?"

It didn't take long for the young girl's face, but it already had a grown-up-like thought as soon as her face flushed red.

"I won't spend here until morning blind just to listen to that weird noise?!" Jean's quick inner voice went from there, "This is going to be big news tomorrow!"
