The Conqueror Who Conquered

Heart Expressions

Olivia sat daydreaming while playing a twig in the flames. His face was tangled since earlier because he had tried various kinds of ideas from sane to unreasonable he had mentioned but indeed they were stuck in that place. Especially when it starts getting dark.

"You shut up, Daren? You're not afraid to be here? You're very calm." He muttered without looking at Daren.

"Well how else? Shouting is useless, too. It consumes energy."

Olivia sighed, right Daren said. But how should it be? Then, why aren't Richi and the others looking for him?

"But.." Oliva straightened up the body as he remembered something.

"You didn't hear Richi yelling at my name when we fell?" Ask in a passionate tone.

"Hm?" Daren started thinking. "I didn't hear."

"I heard it. I heard Richi's screams so much."

"Ck. If he knew, we'd have been found out since."

"Well, do they think we're dead, Daren??" That erect body is now squeezing. What if that's true? Is the news of his death to your ears?

"Don't think weird."

Too late, Olivia cries again imagining bad things happening out there. Then, it started getting dark. What if some beast pounced on them?? If only there was one weapon, Olivia would feel safer.

"Daren.." Olivia called out in the middle of her crying. "What.. Did you bring a gun? Hicks.."

"Huh?" Daren stared strangely at the girl.

"I'm afraid of being eaten by tigers." He said in a loud voice.

Well, Daren almost let go of his laughter. He did not expect, Olivia, the girl ketus and brave and now even cry because thinking of things that are not-no. What tiger, this is the countryside. Behind this cave was a countryside, not a forest.

Olivia was crying without a sound. He chose to put his face on his knees in desperation.

Daren moved and sat next to him. He patted Olivia on the back. "We're gonna get out of here. You don't worry."

Olivia did not answer. His shoulders were shaken because of his sobbing.

"I didn't think you were really like a woman in general. It turns out you can be scared and cry too."

"Are you trying to cheer me up?"

"Please take it that way."

Olivia raised her head. "Are we gonna end up here, Daren?"

Daren was silent for a moment. It felt like he wanted to make Olivia reveal something to him.

"If we end up here, what will you do?" Ask Daren while looking at Olivia next to him.

"If we end up here.." Olivia repeated Daren's sentence. I don't think he died in a place like this. He took a deep breath, then started thinking.

"I don't know. Do you have a wish that has not been achieved?" Ask Olivia.

"Yes. There's."

"People like you have unattainable desires?" Ask Olivia again. According to him, Daren is a spoiled only child whose wishes are definitely granted. What desire could he not achieve?

"I want to live the life I want."

Olivia understood immediately. He forgot that on Daren's shoulders there were many burdens and responsibilities that he would carry as the sole heir.

"Oh, yeah."

"At least if I die, I can calm down and meet my mother."

Olivia looked at Daren with pity. It turns out that Daren really misses the figure of mother. Is that why she used to cry hysterically when her mother's work was over at her age who had stepped on the teenager?

"I didn't know you were secretly carrying a heavy burden."

"The one who knows only my life is as enjoyable as a sole heir. In fact, long before I was born, my life was already determined by my grandfather."

Olivia changed her mind a little bit about Daren.

"Then you, is there a desire that has not been achieved?" Ask Daren back.

"You kidding? My wish has not even been achieved."

"Tell me."

Olivia twisted her fingers. When it comes to dreams, hopes, and ideals, it really makes her feel sad.

"I'm the first child, I feel I have to take responsibility for my mother and younger brother. Ever since my father left to bring all of my mother's possessions, we've been living with an economy that can be said..." Olivia took a deep breath, not wanting to continue her words.

"So, you know, what would it be like if you knew I was dying like this?" Further again.

"I understand. But, what difference does it make if you die in battle. Isn't your job at Valiant very risky?"

"You're right. But, if I die fighting, then Valiant will give you a lot of money, and free education for my sister until college. That's why I strongly agree to join Valiant." Olivia started to look down.

"I love Richi Darrel so much because even though she looks cute, she cares a lot. He gave us a very worthy gift if we die in battle. That's what I thought, it doesn't matter that I'm going to die as long as my mother and sister are covered."

"What are all Valiant members like?"

"Yes, everyone gets a reply according to their wishes."

Daren remained silent for a moment thinking about something.

"What's up?" Ask Olivia.

"Then, Hugo? Why would he go to Valiant?" Confused ask. Because the man was already rich seven generations. What did he ask for?

"You don't know? Of course it's Richi's parents and brother's blessing! Haha." Olivia's laughter exploded, as if she had forgotten her lost position.

Seeing Olivia laughing like that, made Daren look at her fixedly. She just saw Olivia's laughter.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Daren and Olivia immediately stopped laughing.

"What?"

"Daughter, do you have any?"

Olivia looks awkward, Daren's discussion starts strange.

"You never dated, did you??" Daren's guess seems right. Because Olivia immediately silent language by staring at Daren.

"really. You've never been dating. Then your first kiss you gave me back then." Tukas Daren and spontaneously Olivia's eyes widened.

"really, right? That time you kissed me in the car when I was unconscious."

"WHAT!! You pulled me up and kissed me!!" Olivia's strangulation is not acceptable to be accused of kissing her.

"Give up, it's important I get your first kiss."

Olivia threw away her reddened face. He cursed himself which inexplicably happened a strange vibration within.

"You've never been in a relationship, have you? Do you want that to be your last wish?"

"What do you mean?" Olivia asked confusedly.

"Come, dating. I'll be your last boyfriend."

Olivia's eyes were perfectly rounded, her lips gaping at what came out of Daren's mouth.

"Why? If you die here, I'm sure Richi will help your family. But, you've never felt anything like dating, have you?"

Olivia's frozen. Why did Daren think that way? Then, going out with him? In a place like this? If you are dating, what do you want?? Olivia shook her head, dismissing the strange things that suddenly floated in her mind.

"I like you, Olivia."

DEG! Olivia's body was completely shaking. His heart was about to jump when he heard that word from Daren's mouth. Did ya? Daren's likes? Since when??

Olivia leaned her body in the other direction, she was speechless. He also clenched his trembling fingers. Olivia herself was confused, why suddenly her heart beat was so strong that her entire body began to feel hot. The wind here is very cold.

Daren turned Olivia's body to face her.

Daren clasped Olivia's hand. "If I die, at least I told you. If you, how?"

Olivia's heart is beating so much. Why did Daren ask that? For he himself knows not. Olivia was thinking, don't people say that beating your heart against someone means we like it? I-so, right? Does he like Daren now?

"It's okay if you don't answer. I'll wait."

Ah, Olivia's relieved. Thank goodness Daren didn't force him to answer. Olivia also just realized, Daren's tone has changed. The talk now is so soft. Very different from Daren a few hours ago. As it turns out, Daren can be as gentle as that, making Olivia start to melt her heart.

"But can I ask you something?"

Olivia stared at Daren, waiting for Daren to follow up.

"I want to kiss you."

Huh huh? Olivia's eyes were perfectly rounded. Kissing, saying?

Not waiting for an answer, Daren pulled the nape of Olivia's neck and kissed her lips.

Olivia tensed. His blood seemed to flow very quickly. Heart, he could hear his detachment. Olivia felt the time and all natural activities stopped.

Wanted him to push Daren's body, but stopped him from doing so. Somehow the softness of Daren's lips made her feel like she was floating in the air. Is this how it feels to kiss?

Olivia closed her eyes, she began to enjoy the touch after touch that Daren gave her on her lips. The touch warmed his blood and felt very good. Ah, this is how it feels. If today he was going to die, then he would not regret what happened tonight.
