The Black Ice Dragon Legend

chapter 3 inn

Smooth trip. They had no trouble at all on the way. When they are hungry, they can eat the prepared food; when they want to take a bath, they can find a clear stream near the road.

With the spring water, they look fresh all the way. This was an advantage when traveling towards the eastern kingdom. Yep! The kingdom where Naria's house is located. His kingdom is not too big. But, it still takes a few days to achieve it, of course because the kingdom of radia has a sizeable area of three countries in the west.

The biggest one, of course, was none other than the snow mountain empire. Its territory stretches to a very wide west.

They will stop for a few hours when they find beautiful places, or that attract their hearts. Not only that, they will still stop at ordinary places to rest, or just eat there. Enjoying food that has never been tasted will be very pleasant.

Along the way, Simo did not talk much. He thought about how to get through the middle area safely.

Naria who realized it, immediately gave a solution. But not much help.

The others greatly enjoyed this adventure, especially Rina. The girl loves adventure. He was very cheerful and happy as if he was in heaven. Delisa, even though she didn't show it, everyone knows, she really enjoyed this adventure.

Except for Andra, she had not talked much along the way, even very little. Much time is filled with reflection. Don't know what his head is. He is also sometimes seen bluffing his teeth. Maybe he was very angry and upset to have defeated simo. Afterwards he sighed and shook his head.

Days of travel, they finally arrived at the eastern royal gate. It was late afternoon. They decided to find an inn. It didn't take long to find him. The place they went to was a crowded place and many residential buildings. It was a city not too big.

When they arrived at the inn, Andra looked happy and excited. He exclaimed, “A-I'll go over aw– B-not, I mean, I'll be home. There's a sudden message from my mom, I have to go now. I'm sorry everyone, I have to go now. It's an urgent situation.” When he said, his expression suddenly fidgeted. Suddenly agitated like this, very suspicious.

Naria looked sharply at him. “Are you serious?”

“T-of course. You're safe anyway, and you don't need me anymore. I'd rather just go, than here, wouldn't I?”

Naria sighed. “alah.”

“Go away prince! You just load here!” rina exclaimed with a smile.

Andra was angry, but she did not retaliate, and only snorted. He then ran away.

Delisa, Rina and Chan went straight inside the inn, while Naria and simo were still outside.

“Do you not suspect it?” Naria start.

“Leave it. We must focus on our goal.”

“But... If he acts dangerous how?”

“We will handle it.”

“you take it easy. I'll try to prevent it. She can't possibly just be quiet after everything that happened.”

“Naria, will you really not visit your parents?” ask simo suddenly

Naria was a little surprised to hear that question. He was silent for a moment. “Don't ask about that again, I don't want to hear it. Let's go in.”

Naria holds Simo's hand and then takes her in.

Simo did not continue to ask, he understood what Naria was feeling. He just obeyed him. Simo felt guilty asking her.

After booking, they are directed to their respective rooms. Lodging takes a price more expensive than before, seeing they all look not just anyone. But no one protested because the employee offered better service than anyone else. They were so happy to hear it. That way, they can enjoy the night comfortably and quietly.

Simo came out after eating. He sat under a tree near the inn. The people of the city were seen passing through the streets. The longer simo sat looking at him, the fewer people passed by. The lights went out one by one.

Simo enjoys his free time. He felt calmer after sitting for a few minutes. Even though he was just sitting around, he felt tired and uncomfortable, moreover this was the first time he had travelled far by horse carriage.

“Are you tired?”

Seeing simo sitting alone, and staring in one direction, made Naria want to comfort her. Although she was also exhausted, she had to make sure her lover was fine. This habit was indeed burdensome, but he did not feel that way. When she saw her lover was fine, she felt very happy.

Before simo answered him, Naria sat down beside him. The girl then held his hand.

“In the cold outside, you don't feel it?”

Simo shook his head. “I feel calmer after sitting like this.”

“Not yet, but when it arrives, I make sure it will have it.”

“No need to force yourself to do it. I'm still there, and the others are too. If you feel you can't, me and the others will help. No need to do it yourself. This task is ours together, Do not hesitate to reveal it.”

“This is not as usual.”

Naria surprised. He clasped simo's hand tighter. “what kind of a you want!?”

Simo was surprised to feel Naria's grasp, but he tried not to show any expression. He was a little sorry to tease her.

“No, no, just as usual.” Simo became afraid.

Naria sighed. “I'm too hard huh?”

“No.”

“I'm too soft huh?”

“Not really.”

“Then what do you want!?” Naria snorted in annoyance. He turned his eyes the other way.

“Sorry, if that offends you.”

“No. Just pissed off.”

“I'll listen to you.”

“You really should be like that. You've had enough to worry me. Later, when we're in sight of the sand, you have to reveal all your plans. I don't want any more hassles for you. If you die later from not disclosing the risk, I will look for you in heaven or in hell, giving you a severe punishment.”

Simo expression scared. “it's too spooky.”

Naria laughed crisply. Then he smiled softly. Slowly grasping Simo's hand. His body slowly leaned on Simo's shoulder.

“Tonight feels great. I've never experienced it.”

“You will always experience it.”

“Tonight is not as usual. How wonderful tonight. No rain, no clouds cover the sky. There is only a breeze.”

“If later, nothing happens to me... You have to protect me.”

“Of course. I won't do any more carelessness.”

“I believe.”

...****************...

“you see, have you ever experienced something like that?” delisa asked as she looked at Simo and Namila. He wanted to feel something like that. Curiosity made him shamelessly search for a young man in this inn.

“I'm just like you.”

“What do you mean? Have you never experienced it?” Delisa frowned. The man in front of him whom he had chosen one of the handsome men, it was impossible if he had never felt it.

The man did not answer, instead asked, “if you are curious why don't you just ask the two of them and the others? I'm not the one who can give you the answer.”

“I have a reason.”

“You also have a reason to ask.”

“You don't understand.” Delisa closed the window.
