Chapter 51 - 051: Peaceful day (it turns out to be a filler again)

The next day after Arthur get promotion to become a marquis he is currently sitting on the bench where he is first time meet with Emilia.

And of course, he is not alone because Emilia sits at his side.

"You seem didn't like your promotion, Arthur"

"This is not what I want... I didn't need it-"

Emilia pokes Arthur cheek with her finger and stops him from speaking.

"You must glade you're recognized by someone, and you must be content with what you get or you will be labeled as a greedy person. And if you continue to act like this I will think you're just show off to me"

"Yeess... Emilia-sama..."

"Nn, you must be a good child and listen to me~ aww.. aww.. aww it huwts it huwts"

When Emilia facing him with smug expressions Arthur pull both of her cheeks

"Who gives you the courage to acting as an elder to me, hmm?"

"It huwt... I'm sowwy... I'm sowwy"

Arthur laughs a little because her face and voice are very amusing, and after feels, it was enough he release her cheek. Now she has a red cheek and she turns away and facing her back to Arthur.

"Hey, seriously, you didn't angry right?" Arthur call her and want to tease her again

"Hmph" but Emilia didn't turn back and closing her eyes while pouting her lip

"Ah! What are you doing Arthur?"

Emilia shock because there is a pair of hand hug her body from behind.

"I just feel like it, you look very fragile so I want to hold you like this, can you let me hold you? You know, when I see your back I want to protect you from anything that can make you break" Arthur said all of this earnestly, she is occupied a special place in his heart. When he holds her like this Arthur want to protect her and hold her like this for eternity, Arthur can't say it as love but maybe... he is fallen in love to her every time he looks at her beautiful smile, her sweet voice, and her caring attitude.

But he doesn't want to rush it, what he wants for now is spend more time with her.

"I didn't that weak you know... also there is a lot of people and it very embarrassing" Emilia want to struggle but she stops when she heard what Arthur said and she rests her head on Arthur's ċhėst.

"Don't worry, I didn't bring Baal for nothing" Arthur hold her tightly and feeling her warm body and she has a nice smell on her body too that makes him feel comfortable.

This is because the popularity of Arthur is on the highest place for now, and if others see their situation now even if Arthur didn't give a damn about it but Emilia will be uncomfortable so he gives a command to Baal to make there are no people who are willing passing where Arthur and Emilia sit together.

"Hah... You're really hopeless... there is no other way, I will do what you want"

Emilia closed her eyes and enjoying the warmth of Arthur embrace, she feels very safe in his embrace and she feels very warm not about her body but her heart.

This is new for her because after what happened in the past there is no one who has good opinions about her.

Being Fear because of her appearance, being contempt because of her bloodline, but there is no such a thing she feels from Arthur.

He is always there, make every day become more colorful, he always cares about her, protects her from any harm, and without she knows it he becomes something that very important person to her.

"You must think positive, Arthur"

Emilia opens her mouth after a long silence, but she didn't change her position or open her eyes.

"You now become a Marquis, and that makes me have two Marquis as supporters. Well, I'm very thankful because Roswaal give me the opportunity to achieve my dream but he is really didn't help much in this election. You will not act like him right?"

"Don't group me with that clown, will you? Oh, you really have a nice smell"

"Stop it, it very ticklish Arthur"

Emilia complains with red hue on her face.

"Come to think of this, until now I never get any salary from you"

"Can you not speak about it? It's not like I didn't think about it, but here..."

Emilia's voice became like a murmur at the end of her sentence, notice her change of mood Arthur hold her tighter and put his head on top of her shoulder.

"Don't worry about it, how about you heard my wish as a payment?"

"Your wish?"

"Yes, but I didn't have one now so can I save it?"

"As long as I can then I will, but you will not mad at me if I can't do it, right?"

"Do you think I was a petty person like that?"

"Of course not"

Emilia smile and remembered from the moment they meet he never get anything from her. Even his meal is not come from her but from Roswaal, but he gives her a lot of things.

"I will go for several days, at that time I hope you didn't involve in some kind of strange situation, seriously in just span of time no more than one month there is a lot of strange people come to you"

"It's not like I want it too!"

"Maybe you're just too beautiful so they want to meet you?"

"I more prefer to didn't meet with them, also where do you go this time?"

"I will oversee the city construction, I think the first stage is complete. I will leave all of my spirits with you. Also, you can learn from Cecilia about how to become a good queen because she is a former queen"

"But she looks like a warrior to me"

"She is a dragon knight, so of course you will think like that. There is a lot of type queen, there is also a queen who pretends be a king and dubbed as the king of knight. What type of queen you will become, Emi?"

"I don't know... I didn't think about it before

"Well, then you have a lot of time to think about it. Don't worry whatever you do I will stand in your side"

"Thank you, Arthur, but you really can't bring me there?"

"It's not like I didn't want to bring you, but there is a lot of things I need to do so there is no difference with bringing you or not. I know you will miss me badly but please bear with it for the time being"

"You always said nonsense like that, who will be missing you?"

"Eh... our little miss is trying to lie? If you lie your ears will grow longer you now"

"What?! Really?!"

Emilia grasp both of her ears and touch it everywhere, Arthur who see it can't hold back his laugh.

"You lied to me, Arthur?!"

"Hahaha... if you think I was lying to you, then that's mean you will missing me, Emi?"

"Hmph!"

"I will be leaving now, I think it was safer for you to staying in the capital for the time being"

"So you really can't bring me..."

"Be a good girl and wait for me to come back"

Arthur brings her to Roswaal residence in the capital and after that, he teleports to the new territory he accepts as his reward.

For now, he can't explain a lot of things to Emilia so he can't bring her.

But he makes a promise to make a beautiful city for her.

"Hugging her is better than hugging dakimakura... hmm come to think of this... what is that little girl doing right now?"
