"If you show it to you, I'm not sure I can just let you go."
After returning from the store that time, Gaia could not forget the intent of Haetric's sentence. But the look in Haetric's eyes after they parted, looked strange.
"Since yesterday you've been daydreaming."
Gaia gasped and her gaze fell on Rahid who was across the bench in the horse-drawn carriage. Well, since yesterday they had traveled towards the northern region, it took two days to get there.
"Maybe it's because I'm so nervous to meet Duke."
The uterus exhales and codes the Argio visible from the window. They had entered the northern region and were greeted by super cold weather and roads filled with snow.
"What's wrong?" Gaia frowned.
"Comedown. From here on we'll walk."
Rahid went down first while extending a hand to Gaia. Gaia's pale face instantly showed a soft pink tinge and it seemed like the thick coat attached to her body was not enough to withstand the coldness of the northern region.
"You're like a rabbit that's going to die after a great shiver" Rahid commented.
Gaia puffed her cheeks. This is a risk for people who really like the feeling of warm rather than cold. Argio and Rasila started tailing while carrying two suitcases.
Seeing Gaia's face turning red and the two tiny hands were quite trembling, Rahid unilaterally grabbed one of Gaia's hands and put it in her coat pocket.
Argio and Rasila looked at each other and boasted ignorant smiles while Gaia was stunned for a while while watching Rahid who looked far ahead without faltering as she stepped. Rahid had always been so, his actions almost made Gaia's self-defense collapse.
"Welcome back, Your Majesty."
Gaia clucked in admiration. Upon reaching the Duke's residence, they were immediately greeted by the butler and a row of ladies-in-waiting guarding the side of the entrance.
Rahid nodded his head then let both the suitcase in Argio's hands and the other two suitcases in Rasila's hands be taken over by the ladies and the four of them were led to the living room to meet Damiel.
While enjoying a warm cup of tea in front of the fireplace, Gaia felt a chill run down because now Damien had been sitting opposite her. The burly and sturdy middle-aged man wore tight clothes in the cold weather, displaying the muscles from the results of the monster subjugation. Not only that, silvery white hair as well as brown eyes like eagle beads that make Gaia can not stop staring at Damien.
"Can you stop looking at me, young lady? Look at your lover that looks so angry" Damien sibir.
"I don't have a lover." Gaia denies with a frown on the forehead and then begins to normalize the facial features.
"Hoo... "
Damien reviewed a little grin. It looks like Rahid clapped one hand, this is fun because it can see the expression of jealousy decorate the face of the boy who had only been plastered with hatred.
"I want to rest." Rahid then leaves while Gaia feels she has offended Rahid.
Damien chuckled, making Argio and Rasila shudder, and Damien asked the ladies-in-waiting to take Gaia and the other two to rest. Although it looks terrible outside, it turns out the residence of the northern duke is very amazing, Gaia to roll enthusiastically on the large bed provided.
"I have to change clothes!"
Gaia hurriedly approached the suitcase but was surprised to find that the large size of the pants and some of Rahid's clothes were in the suitcase and simultaneously, the owner of the suitcase experienced the same thing. While opening the suitcase, Rahid finds a pile of dresses, makeup tools, other supplies including underwear and a sword wrapped in cloth on the side of the suitcase.
"Yes ... We should have brought a different suitcase." Rahid touches her head with a nelangsa and does not realize that on her little finger is stuck the cover of Gaia's red *ra.
Gaia was dumbfounded at the front lip of the door while carrying the swapped suitcase. Rahid frowned and his eyes followed Gaia's gaze. Sangking surprised, Rahid shouted while throwing a breast cover*ara until it hit the face of the owner and fell on his feet.
The heart of the uterus beats faster after witnessing its own actions. It looked even more terrifying than the monsters because now the owner of the object would explode at any time.
"I-I really don't do anything dirty, don't think weird!" Rahid stood up straight and tried to calm down.
Gaia brushed her lips in shame and put Rahid's suitcase rough on the table and took over her suitcase and sword and left.
"Ah, fuck!" Rahid rubbed his face rough.
...***...
The next day, snow still covered the courtyard in Damien's residence so that Gaia did not do much but stand by and wait for Rahid to come home from the area to hunt monsters.
Gaia wants to conquer monsters. It was free for him to have bought a sword to accompany him to the northern region. Gaia was really upset anyway if she came, she could not forget yesterday's incident.
"I heard from that boy about you. But will you be on his side in any situation?"
Gaia jerks. The book he had in his grasp plummeted to find Damien appearing in the library.
"Rahid and I are only bound by a contract."
"Yes I know that. So, if the contract ends, will you leave it?"
Gaia quiet. Not just Rahid, he might leave everyone behind.
"The child has not craved the love of others since his mother died. He continues to live in the shadows of vengeance and regret, so if one day I break his head, I'm sure I'll only see a pile of revenge."
" ... "
Not acknowledging his words, Damien looked at Gaia meaningfully.
"But it looks like Rahid is acting differently towards you. He shows a lot of feelings that have been harbored for a long time when with you. If you're willing, would you give her a little love so she can be a little more lenient to herself and gradually forget the painful past?"
Damien looked far out the library window, eyes radiating deep sadness. Gaia knows that Damien must have loved Rahid as much as a father would have loved her son.
"My life is not long, Duke. I look good on the outside but my soul is dying. If I give love and Rahid changes because of that, then the wounds I give from my absence in this world will further destroy her life."
Damien was wide-eyed at the fact that escaped from the lips of the young lady beside him. "The stray? How come?"
Gaia then faces Damie, showing how much holy power surrounds her body and soul. Damien did not believe that the amount of sacred power Gaia had nearly filled the magnificent space of her library. It was so beautiful, the golden light with sparkling white particles followed by the change in Gaia's eyes made Damien just cluck in admiration and astonishment.
"This sacred power is eating away at my life energy. Don't worry about Rahid, I won't betray him because he even promised to protect my family." Gaia smiled as she returned to her normal form.
Rasila, who had returned from the hunt to meet Gaia on Rahid's orders, immediately silenced her mouth to hear all the conversations between Rahid and Damien.
"Lady Gaia is dying?" Rasila murmur.
"Who's dying?" Rahid suddenly appeared because Rasila did not bring Gaia to see him.
