Chapter 282: Interlude 101/ Go Without Looking Back

Beleth's POV

-Farah! (Beleth)

-Yes? (Farah)

Farah looks at me with a worried face. She is like a puppy that was abandoned in the rain. I smile to reassure Farah.

-Please leave it to me, Farah. (Beleth)

Before I go out, I don't forget to wink at my cute Farah.

-Stolas...I thought you had made up your mind. (Beleth)

I spread out my mana through the surrounding area.

-I need to find her soon. She can't go too far from this place. (Beleth)

It doesn't take long for me to detect an abnormal amount of mana coming from the west of the camp.

-As a queen of fairy, she would never let out her mana carelessly like this. (Beleth)

This situation could only happen if her emotion came to the surface. I have witnessed this situation one time in the past.

-I have no time to waste here. (Beleth)

I dashed toward the direction of the abnormal mana, where I assumed Stolas was there.

-Please wait for me... (Beleth)

When I arrived at the designated place, I found a gigantic rose flower.

-Tchhh... this girl! (Beleth)

I jump up and aim at the centre of the flower bud.

-Stolas! (Beleth)

There is no one answer to my question. I don't give up and spend more effort looking for Stolas.

-These gigantic petals are really annoying. (Beleth)

These things get in my way and hindrance me from finding Stolas.

-Let's try again. (Beleth)

I try to spread my mana around the rose.

-The manas here are too chaotic. I can't locate Stolas location like this. (Beleth)

I really have no choice in this situation. I take out my dark wings and spread feathers around.

-Burnnnn! (Beleth)

The feathers turn into orange fire and burn down all the surrounding petals. I wait until everything around me turns into scorching ashes to look for Stolas.

-She is right there. (Beleth)

In the ovule of the flower, I could see Stolas shrank and held herself.

-This girl... (Beleth)

I run toward her and try to take her hand.

-Stolas! (Beleth)

-Leave me alone. (Stolas)

Stolas shouted and pushed me back with the forces.

-Graghhh! Stolas!  (Beleth)

Stolas expresses emotions more clearly than last time.

-Beleth... (Stolas)

She raises up her face and looks at me with a crying face.

-Stolas? Why do you behave like this? (Beleth)

-Why? (Stolas)

Stolas shouts out loud.

-Why, you asked? (Stolas)

-...Last time, I thought you had confirmed your love with Farah, right? (Beleth)

-Right... (Stolas)

Stolas speaks out with more tears coming out of her face.

-I love Farah... I love her more than anything in the world! (Stolas)

-Then... (Beleth)

-Why do I run away? Right? (Stolas)

Petals come out from Stolas and head to me like a gale. I immediately burn down it using my fire.

-You know the answer better than I do, right? (Stolas)

I could hear a deep sadness come from her tone.

-The twins may be small...They wouldn't know how scary the time is. (Stolas)

-... (Beleth)

-Did you feel it, Beleth? The fear that you won't be able to meet Farah again. (Stolas)

-How can you be so sure about that? The twins appear... (Beleth)

-Hah! (Stolas)

Stolas summons four rose dragons and fires them at me.

-But Farah never met us in the future. (Stolas)

The four rose dragons roar and head toward me with an insane speed.

-You know we can't live that long. It must be a miracle for the twins to meet her again. (Stolas)

I take out the sword and am ready to repel the dragon.

-Reflection! (Beleth)

Four mirrors appear in front of me and reflect those dragons.

-Severed! (Beleth)

I cut down the mirrors along with the dragon.

-Why are you being so negative, Stolas? (Beleth)

I dash toward Stolas.

-Is your love with Farah just that much? (Beleth)

-No... (Stolas)

-Do you really love her? (Beleth)

Stolas shouts and makes a rose barrier.

-Of course! For the first time, I feel this feeling. Just imaging I have to separate Farah for thousands of years breaks my heart. (Stolas)

I swing the sword at the barrier, but it doesn't budge in the slightest.

-And you, Beleth! You talked about it so simply. Did you know the thousands of years of wandering without a goal differs from the times you separate from her, right? (Stolas)

-I... (Beleth)

-Could you really feel that pain? (Stolas)

I put more force on the sword and slashed down the barrier in two.

-Of course, I know how painful will it become! (Beleth)

I stand in front of Stolas and say proudly.

-Even If I knew the truth beforehand, I would still choose to confess to Farah. (Beleth)

Stolas falls on her knee and asks me with a small voice.

-Why? (Stolas)

-Because I don't want to regret I can't confess her feeling to her. (Beleth)

-Just that? (Stolas)

I put my sword away and answered her.

-Just that! (Beleth)

I bend down and put my hand on Stolas's shoulder.

-You also do that when you have a chance... (Beleth)

-I... (Stolas)

-If you died when you couldn't confess your feeling, it would be even more painful Stolas. (Beleth)

Stolas closes her eyes for a while.

-I will confess...my feeling to Farah. (Stolas)

-Go for it... (Beleth)

-I owe you this one, Beleth. (Stolas)

I smile at Stolas.

-That's three times already. (Beleth)

-Right... (Stolas)

Stolas wipes off her tears and jumps off the flower.

-Hah...(Beleth)

I lie down on the flower because of tiredness.

-Who told you I felt nothing, idiot? (Beleth)

I'm so scared of parting with Farah.

-But I need to hide it. (Beleth)

Stolas has her point... The waiting time between us will be so painful.

-And I don't know if the next time we meet, I will still be the person she loved... (Beleth)
