Vol.1 Ch.50 A Heart to Heart.
Dalia smiled and nodded when she walked alongside Rya. "I understand, Alpha. Don't worry about me. But I couldn't help but notice that you seemed... Angry? Mad? Was there something that happened?"
"Haah! Yeah, I had a visit from the Goddesses that brought me to Tertius. And let's just say that they're on my shit list right now." Rya said with a frown.
Dalia tilted her head and crossed her arms over her chest. "What did they do?"
"I don't want to talk about it. Let's just say that I'm not a fan of their methods." Rya said with a grimace.
Dalia furrowed her brow. "Fine but I'm curious. So, tell me if you need to talk."
"Thanks, Dalia. I'm glad I saved you. You're turning into someone I can rely on," Rya said with a smile.
Dalia smiled back and nodded. "Me too. So, do you know where Beta is?"
Rya stopped walking down the hall because she realized she had no clue where she was going. As she looked around, Rya noticed a few of the servants staring at them with a concerned look in their eyes. Or was it fear? It seems most of the humans wanted to keep their distance from the Dark Elf and Wolfkin.
'God! Okay, you can't tell him everything. Just tell him enough to know that this is not his fault and I still want him around. BUT NOT IN THAT WAY! He's just a very good friend. One of the few I can trust... A friend who's amazing at using his tongue on my~' Rya shakes her head fiercely to try and stop these strange thoughts of Quinus going down on her from entering her head.
"R-Rya? Are you okay?" Quinus asked worriedly.
Rya put her hands over her face. "I don't know anymore!?"
"Hey, hey. Come over here and sit down." Quinus said and then pulled her over to a couch.
"I'm sorry Quin. If I tell you something, will you keep it a secret?" Rya asked while sitting next to him.
Quinus looks at her with a questioning look but nods his head.
"No matter how much it hurts, I'll keep it a secret... I promise," Quinus tells her while placing his hand atop her head.
Rya could feel her whole body relax when she felt his warm touch on her scalp.
'NO! MY KRYPTONITE!' Rya screams in her mind but knows there's no stopping the inevitable but she must resist even though she doesn't want to.
"Q-Quin. T-These bad dreams? These nightmares I've been having, are caused by my Goddesses," Rya struggles to speak with the mighty hand that soothes her soul.
Quinus frowns as he takes his hand off her head. "What do you mean?"
"Ugh! They're teasing and tormenting me. And I don't know if what I'm becoming is something of my choosing or theirs," Rya says to him nervously.
Quinus looks at her with an understanding look. "So, you need to find yourself?"
The prince looks at her with a sad gaze before asking, "So, you need to depart from us? That's why you're dressed in your adventure clothing instead of a fine dress?"
"NO! No no! I'm not leaving you guys. No." Rya quickly says and shakes her head.
Quinus smiles at her and then places his hand on hers. "So, you're not leaving us? Then take all the time you need, Rya."
"Thank you, Quin. This means a lot to me." Rya says and blushes.
