Gray's steps suddenly stopped, after hearing Carine's scream. He turned towards the woman. “What?” he asked with an uncomprehending expression.
Meanwhile, Carine could only sigh loudly. Fatal mistake. He shouldn't have said that to Gray.
Want to divert even, all already done. There is, Gray will definitely continue to urge him. Or in fact, scolded him for not being consequential.
Not yet had time to think how to undo the conversation, Carine only realized that Gray was standing right in front of her. Not to forget, by showing the sharpest gaze in the entire world. Plus, her forehead wrinkles are becoming.
He... isn't angry, is he?
Thought Carine was a little wary. He'll really get in trouble, if Gray's angry. Carine may, will be massively upset.
But all this time he couldn't stand it. Gray's attitude that makes him upset, always can never change. Mistakes Gray made in the past, Carine hasn't been able to remove completely.
“What do you mean? Why do you feel like I never look you in the eye? You want my gaze, now?” bargain Gray with courage. Carine's real guts, wanting to discuss Gray's past mistakes, start to get a little too close. “Why are you silent? Tell me, what do you want, Carine? What do you want from me?” gray went straight to the point.
Carine was still putting together the right words, in return. Unfortunately, he was too slow. Gray has already started the step.
The man started getting closer to Carine. Her face, just an inch away with Carine's face. Realizing that it happened so quickly, Carine suddenly could not think clearly.
Slowly, Carine turned her head back, so as not to clash with Gray's head. However, that's not what Gray wanted. He didn't lose his mind, to keep Carine close to him.
Gray held Carine's back head. And that woman, currently unable to change her position back. Carine simply resigned herself and accepted the consequences she caused.
Gray leaned his forehead toward Carine's forehead. Even a soft sigh from the man, felt and heard clearly in Carine's ears. Carine's heart, suddenly beating fast.
“I'm sorry..” whispered soft Gray. Carine's heart rate is getting worse. She's surprised. And unconsciously, her tears were pouring out profusely. Instantly, the memory of the past of the two, again adorned Carine's mind space.
~~
Around the 15th century, Abcaestter was still named, Abcaestterland. It happens, as the world grows. However, at that time Abcaestter still had noble descendants or royal blood.
However, Abcaestter was no longer ruled by a king. The name's starting to change, Duke. There are four areas in it. Abcaestter himself, as the name of his capital, Oxshawden, Astbrookwen and also, Trendale.
In this century, it can be said that there is little resemblance between Abcaestter in the 7th century. Each region is led by a leader. Those who led several territories were given the title, Viscount.
And here we are. Right on the Oxshawden region border with the Capital of Abcaestter, which is still filled with forests and high seas. Although century after century had gone on, Gray's task as Death Hunter, was still not over.
Since being commissioned after his death in the early 11th century, Gray has continued to live. He knows all too well, every change that happens to humans. Starting from the cunning, cruel to noble though.
Sometimes he hates humans. In those days, of course all humans could use their power. Yes, in the 15th century, humans are still endowed with the natural power that comes from each of them.
Although awarded with great strength, there are still humans who have a bad mindset and intentions. And such humans, are called Devils and also, Demons. That thing, still stuck up to now. The term also dates back to the 9th century, where the inner region of Abcaestter was divided by the inhabitants of Pvalka.
In the 15th century, Gray was accompanied by Carine. The woman was very attentive to Gray, what he used to do.
Carine also has an ancient book, as a Death Hunter. Because in truth, Carine was a woman chosen by Heaven to accompany and lighten the burden of Gray's duties, during her time as the leader of the Hunters. In essence, he was an important figure to support Gray's heavy duty.
It should, how it works.
However, Gray apparently refused the aid outright. Over the course of living in the world for centuries, Gray began to get used to living alone. And again, Raven had also helped him from the very beginning she was assigned to be a Death Hunter.
However, Sky's perception of, ‘life friends’ Gray is much different. Carine's existence was the answer to Gray's expectations all along. But for Gray, Carine was a hindrance to him.
Because Carine is a woman.
Womens.
“Not mean to demean... You know, I mean, right, Rav? She is a woman. He's strong and very good. But that's not what I meant. I just... feel unable to move freely with the presence of him” confided Gray. At that time, he somewhat lost his sanity, after chugging a few bottles of wine. “Yes, it looks like you are really drunk. Your language sounds ridiculous. Before Miss worries, let's go home” pinta Raven patiently.
“Rav! The insolent! You'll be beheaded, if you dare to cut off my conversation!” amuk Gray while punching the table of the shop he occupied. Raven looked shocked. He's not feeling good, to other customers. And also, the shop owner who followed was shocked.
The owner of the shop turned to the two of them. “Your highness, if you are noisy. So, let's just go home” whispered Raven somewhat pleading. “I said, I don't want to go home!” answer Gray loudly.
“Yang Noble, I beg you.” pinta Raven. “Listen first! I... just want to say one thing to you” Gray insisted. “Yes, after you say it, we should go home soon, huh?” tawang Raven's. Instantly, Gray's face began to calm down again.
“Hmm, I didn't say”
“Hah? Then, what do you want?”
“I just wanted to ask you. Brief, kok”
“Say, your majesty”
“How....how to make the girl disappear?”
Suddenly, Raven was surprised not to play. His eyes almost seemed to be out of place. Shortly after, Raven was seen frowning.
“That girl? Who... you mean?” ask Raven to make sure. “Dia...” Gray replied still unclear. “Oh, Miss.” “Ya, right. That girl, Nonamu, Carine. Tumben, you think about it fast. I. want Carine to disappear from this world. Because of him, it has been too long hindering my duty” cut Gray.
Though, Raven did not want to guess the question. Instead, he was calling someone. Of course, someone he knew very well.
Not far from Raven's place, the girl appeared to be standing at his feet. He looked shocked, after hearing that short conversation.
“Nona, this...not as you heard” said Raven trying to confirm. However, what makes the memory in Raven's brain will continue to remember it is when she sees Carine's smile that remains perfectly fluffy.
“Yes majesty, it looks like you are really very drunk”
