The guardians of the past

episode 19's

Rara was sitting across from her guest, and was nervous. Rara was so eager to discuss what was on her mind. And Rara asked what came to her mind.

“Do you really have the power to curse someone?”

The hero just smiles. Is that guy teasing her?

“Dumb question”, rara said, more addressed to herself. Then something came across him. “Did that sword give me another power that I should know?”

The smile of the Hero now changed with a beaming smile. “Tast.”

“Before? Now no?” Rara frowned.”What does it mean?”

“Before you had the power to rule me. I can't lie to you, can't hurt you, or refuse what you're telling me. So, you have complete control over me.”

Rara looked at Wira in disbelief. No wonder Wira closed her eyes when she was in the car when Rara told her to, and really had to get permission in order to open her eyes again.

The thought of having a Hero under his control really amazed Rara. But what the hero is talking about is the past.

Rara's eyes narrowed, looking suspiciously at Wira. “Did you tell me that you used to have that kind of power, and not anymore?”

It seemed impossible, but now the smile of the man was more arrogant and more triumphant.

“Yes, when you set me free, then lose your power over me.”

Rara leaned back and sighed.

He should have been angry for missing such a thing, and also because the man had not told him earlier.

But of course Wira would not willingly tell such information voluntarily.

Wh-wh-what for? Rara from earlier was so anxious to think about the deal she would make with the hero, whereas, Wira would obey what she would say earlier.

Yes, he should have been angry, but he wasn't angry. Because he does not really want such power over the Self or others. But has let the Hero be free from.....

Rara wondered now, what else the man had not told her.

“Is there any other power associated with that sword that I should know about?”

“What you should know? Nyi now the other power is now on me.”

“What other power?”

“Give me the sword, and I'll show you.”

The sarcasm in his speech like that is so obvious, no matter what era you are from.

“You have reason to forbid me to use that sword when it's only for a while?”

Wira sounded offended, so Rara replied carefully, “don't misunderstand Wira, but now you can leave whenever you want, please, and I can only hold your word that the sword will not come with you.I would rather not test the truth of your story, if you do not mind.”

“You think I'll lie to you??”

“ I think, I like it when you don't trust me.”

“Oh yes? Why?”

“I'm not under orders to have to answer.”

“Stop, exclaim Rara.

One of the eyebrows was raised. “What?”

“You know exactly what I said. I told you not to look at me that way.”

“Do all the women of your time expect men to do what they ask?”

There are many ways to answer that question. Rara decided the safest way was to not answer it at all.

“Already. We already have a deal. Are you going to respect him?”

“Does our deal include not seeing you? Strange, because I don't remember.”

The hero was playing around and it seemed like the man was enjoying it. And the hero doesn't answer the question. Rara's getting a little agitated. He really had to change the subject, but it was too late for now.

“Thanks for being reminded.”

Rara realized later, that the Hero did not answer her clearly. The hero will not do it continue to wonder, worry, and... Rara stared resentfully at the hero. But he returned it with a smile.

To be continued...

don't forget the liking...

Thanks 😘
