LEILA'S DREAM: Three Possibilities

CHAPTER 31: SOLICITATION (3)

The sparkling festival lights are mostly made of granite rocks forged by the dwarf—dwarves— makes Leila nostalgic for technology in modern times. Crowds of people in groups or in pairs Leila can see as long as the eye can see.

"Mother, I want that," a little boy pulled the hand of the woman he called mother.

"Yes, yeah, wait a minute. I have to pay for this lantern first, baby." Taking money from his wallet with his impatient son.

"Mother come quickly! Go, Mom! Come on!"

"Yes, yes."

Seeing the adorable mother-daughter interaction made Leila smile involuntarily. Alex who realized that also saw Leila's direction.

"Does that remind you of it, Young Master?"

Leila was just silent and she involuntarily felt the surface of her belly wrapped in clothes as well as her robe, "... Maybe."

"We'd better buy a lantern before the show starts." Alex pulls Leila in so she doesn't daydream. Because she remembered that Leila was very close to the Young Master and also remembered Leila living in this village also made Alex more convinced that everything here reminded her of the Young Master.

"Alex is this good?" Tanya Leila pointed to a hairpin that looks laurel-shaped leaves that are usually there sculpted-God Goddess statues worn like a crown.

Seeing the charming smile that Leila showed made Alex smile as well. Seeing Leila continue to chatter and show all the items that she thought were interesting and suitable to her.

Her brownish mane as brown as a surging hyperion tree that was buffeted by the night breeze made Leila look charming. That very eye-catching appearance must have made everyone think, which noble of the world was it.

Do not forget how his azure blue netra is curved like a crescent moon because of the pull of his two cheeks that form a smile. Alex feels, this is the best choice he took Leila to this Lantern Festival.

"... Very beautiful," Alex muttered involuntarily at seeing Leila's appearance because it had such a radiant aura.

"You said something Alex?" Leila asked trying to ask because it was so noisy here.

"N-no, we're a-yo in line and put this on." Alex took the hairpin he saw in golden yellow and attached it to Leila.

"Well, thanks, Alex." Leila smiled widely as the final Alex took the choice for her.

"Sama-sama," Alex's great-grandson with a reddish tinge that filled her face saw Leila smiling widely with a warm aura around her.

"Come on, everybody starts marching."

Leila quickly pulled Alex along in a neat line and followed the event solemnly. Until the moment everyone is waiting for. The release of lanterns in which all begged and wished for a prompt request to be granted.

"Have you?" Alex asked who saw Leila begin to open her eyes that were initially closed.

The light from inside the lantern made Leila look like an angel holding a light. I don't know how many times Alex didn't get bored - his boss praised Leila's face.

Leila who did not answer Alex's question slowly flew her lantern which slowly merged among the hundreds of other lanterns flying high and slowly towards the Misty Forest.

"Thank you for bringing me here. I feel very lucky" said Leila who unknowingly made this man in front of her can receive a heart attack at any time.

"W-what did you just say? W-I should have said that. I-I'm actually very lucky to be here with you" her voice that sounded a little disjointed made Alex even more embarrassed. After all the residents of the mansion were talking about Leila. Whether it's from the face, the origin of which can be with Young Master, and also how the gossip about Leila became a woman entertainer night Noah.

Even Leila's friendly and helpful nature makes everyone feel comfortable with her. No exception Alex who felt the luckiest man in the mansion because it could take Leila went out to enjoy the most famous festival throughout the kingdom.

"Leila, are you—, Leila?"

Not long ago Alex averted his eyes, Leila had disappeared in front of him and Alex could see if Leila was trapped between a sea of humans.

"GIRL!"

"YESY!!! ALEX, HELP ME!"

"HOLD ON!"

Alex could only look at Leila's hand that was raised next door as if asking for help before disappearing from her sight.

"GIRL!"

"Huft, thank you good man. If not, hahh... I could be a limp man later," Leila grumbled as she tried to regulate her breathing.

"Good guy?" Ask Leila who got no reply.

Her wrists that she still held onto made Leila slowly raise her head to see who the good people were who had been willing to help her. A dull-looking outfit with a belt where a sword hangs. Slowly Leila's gaze began to rise and could faintly see the appearance that her savior had.

"Master?"

The man smiled slightly and said, "Finally we meet again, Miss Dancers."

"Eh? A dancer?"

Her familiar look made Leila pensive for a moment and the memory of the flashback six years ago made Leila's eyes perfectly rounded.

"Still the same. After six years," said the man Leila did not know his name.

"Haha, you look more and more mature with that wise face," Leila replied praising the man in front of her.

"If you may know what your name is, Miss Dancers?" The man in front of her made Leila unable to help her smile. Just look at how he politely asked.

"Leila, Mr...?"

"Calix, you can call me Calix, Miss."

Leila felt like she had heard of the name, but it seemed like this man's name was quite marketable so Leila paid no heed to it.

Calix reached out his hand and said, "Want to dance again with me, Miss."

Leila could not resist the ruckus with Calix's formal speech. This is their second meeting and this will be their second dance as well.

"It's a pleasure for me to be able to dance with you, Mr. Calix," received a helping hand staring at his dance partner tonight.

"Not so am I, Miss."

The two of them joined hands and stepped into the dance floor in the village square. The place where Calix once lifted Leila higher than he thought.

"You know. It's so nice to talk to you formally. But, you don't need to be that formal to me. If you see you're still very young." Leila could see from the facial line of the young man in front of her.

"You could have. I'm still in the head of two indeed." Pull Leila closer and dive deeper into the music.

"Kan, right! You're still young!" Exclaimed Leila who had correctly guessed her age.

"You look very young too. 15? 17?" Calix smiled faintly at Leila.

"3000 years," Leila replied with a faint smile as well.

Calix looked at Leila silently for a moment and said, "You're kidding, right?"

"Yes, hehe."
