28 Why the Duke's Residence of all places?

Akio was currently walking the empty streets of Reflet town but he was not alone.

In the Silence the town was tranquil and peace.

The lights illuminating from some window shows some people were still doing some work.

" Elze, What made you and Linze come to this town.? You're both still young and are risking your life adventuring earning some money which may sometime not be worth your life."

Elze glanced at Akio's face which showed only just simple curiosity.

Elze sighed in relief as she saw his expressions.

" We both sisters are orphans, our parent died while adventuring and our uncle and Aunty has been taking care of us since we were small. As the years passed we didn't want to burden them anymore so we started adventuring at 13 and came to this town this year."

Elze spoke slowly as she reminisced her past and the trouble they had when they started their hunting and a smile formed slowly on her face which Akio noticed.

" You girls are truly strong and to top it off you're also pretty. That's Impressive that you had walked through tough times and also left your Aunty and uncle at 13 so as not to burden them. I'm full of respect for you girls."

" Thank you for your Respect Akio but we don't deserve it.!"

Elze said with a sad expression.

" Ah. yes.. The Respect should be given to your parents who gave birth to you and also your Aunty and Uncle who have made you Independent to where you stand now."

Elze was speechless when she heard Akio totally shift admiration to the ones that took care and birthed them.

"..."

" Admiration for you parents who were able to give birth to some angels and also to the care takers who turned these angels into divine angels."

Akio said these word as if he was enlightened.

"pftt....Hahahaha."

Elze laughed suddenly when she heard the words and saw Akio expression as he got into something.

" Why the sudden Laugh.? I was stating a fact you know."

Akio had a weird expression.

" Fact? Hahaha... That was a nice joke. But angels are naturally divine beings and how come they become divine beings again."

"-_-"

Akio regretted telling it and couldn't change it now so he had to get back to her.

" Haha....Look at your face there. The face of a fool."

Elze cracked a joke on Akio.

" Seems like someone has a brain now.!"

Akio said sarcastically.

" Who!?"

Elze was confused as to who he was saying to.

" Who else if not you!?"

" You..... * Boost*"

Elze was pissed now and punched Akio lightly in the stomach.

" Argh.."

Akio touched his stomach there was a bit pain but it went away quick.

" Bleh..."

Elze now teased Akio by sticking out her tounge with a slight smile as she made a comeback for before and ran toward the Inn.

' Cute'

Akio though to himself.

" Why you little...!"

Akio then chased her and caught up to her and grabbed her hand.

Elze was startled when she felt someone pulling her wrist and looked back in shock to realize that she was caught when she was in booted mode.

Akio pulled her wrist and hold her by her hip and pulled her near to his body.

" This is the punishment for hitting me."

Elze had now closed her eyes and she was scared inside her body felt powerless as her hands couldn't move because of the lack of space .

She was waiting for the thing and she felt her forehead stung with pain. When she opened her eyes. She was blank at first and her eyes got teary after wards. Akio could not see her teary eyes anymore and let her go.

Elze ran straight to the Inn and into her room.

He felt he had gone too far with her.

He activated long sense and heard Elze crying back at her room.

Akio felt more guilty now he knocked on Elze door but she did not respond he used wind magic to unlock the door from inside and went in .

If he did not solve this issue today he would be having trouble tommorow with Else.

.

" Elze I know I'm sorry if you felt that I bullied you. I was just playing but I didn't realize that it would hurt your feelings."

Akio continued on apologizing with reasons.

" Elze let me take you to the capital tomorrow morning . It'll be my treat for today mistreatment conduct that I have done."

Elze was now not crying anymore.

" Elze, I'm truly Sorry I didn't realize it would affect you so much but I am already feeling guilty. After breakfast tommorow we'll head out to capital. I'll be using gate to go to capital."

Akio said and used gate to go to his room.

Elze was in her room.

Her eyes were wet and a bit of anger was still there on her face.

" You better treat me a lot or else."

Unconciosly a small smile formed on Elze face.

Was the smile of a mischievous plan that she thought or something else? No one would know until it happens.

Elze slept with a smile formed on her lips and flown into her dream.

Occasionally she would smile from time to time .Maybe she was having a blissful dream or a dream where she was torturing Akio.

*****************************

Morning time

It was morning and Akio was still in his bed thinking about what happened. He didn't even have much contact with Elze and would only talk sometime so he suddenly had gotten too close to her yesterday which has made him more annoying than pleasing to her.

he was thinking that today he will be suffering a lot to ask for her forgiveness but if this day works well things can go back to normal and he can start his approach to her.

He woke up and went down . Dolan was at the counter keeping a watch.

" Good morning Dolan-san."

" Oh. Good morning young lad."

Dolan said cheerfully.

Akio went and sat to a chair waiting for others to come .

Yae was first to come and sat down beside Akio

" Good morning, Wifey.."

"Good....morning.... Hus..band."

Yae was stuttering when she suddenly heard Akio wished her morning in an intimate way .

' oh well she hasn't yet gotten the hang of it.'

Dolan heard this and thought it was a kind of Sket they were doing and watched on with amusement.

Then Touya came down.

The breakfast was in table for Akio and Yae to eat. Akio blowed on the spoon which had soup on it and carried it towards Yae.

" Wifey, Open up.!"

Yae was fully masked in red now and embarrassed at the moment. Yae could do nothing and drank up the soup from the spoon.

He took the spoon and dip to carry the soup and drink it for himself.

" Homemade food is truly good, Dolan- san you're a nice cook."

Akio praised Dolan

" Akio dono, The soup was made by my daughter and is in the kitchen."

" Oh, How come I've never ran into her.!?"

Akio asked

" well, you just came in Two days ago and she was quite busy."

Dolan explained as to why he never met her.

" What about you Dolan San Aren't you busy watching a couple being lovely!?"

Akio asked sarcastically.

"...umm..I."

Dolan was speechless.

" Dad come pick up the breakfast for the guests."

A female voice travelled from the kitchen.

Dolan was free from the awkward situation.

Linze and Elze came together to the table and took a seat .Elze was directly opposite to him glaring at him.

Yae noticed this and had a question gaze directing towards Akio.

Akio sighed and said

" I'll tell you tonight."

Touya was silently reading the phone book and immersed in it.

" Touya, Can you please.!?"

Akio requested.

Touya kept the book down and ate his food.

" So Touya dono, How many magic did you find yet which can be useful.?"

Akio asked to confirm his question.

" There are more than hundred thousands of null magic but hardly anyone of them are practical so I'm still looking."

..

.

.

After breakfast Akio announced that he was leaving for the capital for sometime.It may take some time.

And Elze also joined in by announcing that she had something to do too in Capital so she will come too.

.

Yae was now watching with a weird gaze at Akio. She was having her doubts.

' I have to explain to her about the incident at night. But for now Alephis Capital city Here I...No.....Here we come.!'

Akio opened a gate to the Duke's door. well this was the only place he remember well.

The guard were alerted but when Akio raise his hand a showed a medallion which he received from the Duke through Touya they backed off.

Steward Leim came when the guards reported

to him that someone having a medallion came to their doorstep.

.

Elze was panic stricken inside now.

' Why of all places the Duke's Residence.?'

.
