Chapter 704 Elizabeth's Morning

-----

"Huh? That's not the rection I expected..." Erika felt a bit sad.

"Oh, I... I'm glad, honestly." I smiled. "But I was just a bit surprised... I had never really... envisioned this, but I guess it makes sense."

"Geez, you're still sometimes a bit dense, huh? For all the smarts you show, sometimes you just get too shocked and get all paralyzed!" Erika giggled a bit. "Well, that goofy said of you is cute too..."

"Getting married is... Well, in a few more years, once we're older... It does seems logical." I nodded. "It just... making a family of my own with you... I had not considered it for some reason. Maybe I was too focused on my other goals."

"I guess, you always get tunnel vision when it comes to your goals." Erika sighed. "But wouldn't it be nice? To get married... We can live in our own house together... And have babies. And make a big family! I want a family... of my own."

"Erika..."

I guess this might have been caused by her father's lost. She had grown with such a fixation of having a family like that of my mother and father.

"You don't want to?" She asked, giving me puppy eyes.

"I... of course I want." I smiled. "Gladly... I think you would be a wonderful mother. But let's wait a few more years. Until this war is over... I want to create a peaceful world for the next generations, for our children."

"Hm!" Erika nodded, her aura exploding with decisiveness. "Let's beat all those baddies and get a better world for everyone else... I don't want them to grow up fighting for their lives, nor any of that stuff we went through... I want them to live happily and carefreely."

"Me too." I smiled, caressing her beautiful face, and giving her another kiss. "Let's build a world together. A world... where everyone can smile."

In that conversation, I felt like I found a goal that I had long ago lost sight of. A goal that my previous self had when he was a child, that grew up in the trash, eating rats, and without a family of his own.

In such times, he always hoped to build a world where children like him could eat their fill, where there wouldn't be poverty, and where... families could live carefreely.

It was a goal I lost sight long ago, and with Erika, I've found it again.

The reason I fought so hard back then, and the reason I'm fighting so hard now... It is all for such a noble goal.

How corny of me... A ruthless Vampire Emperor known for his cruelty and madness, to think such feeble things.

Yet I can't help but feel inspired the more I think about it.

The more I see Erika's beautiful eyes.

She had healed my soul and my heart so much...

I can't believe how precious she is to me.

At the end, Erika couldn't let me go, so I ended sleeping with her at my side, hugging me tightly. She was really warm, and I felt like I was boiling while covered on the bedsheets.

However, once the morning I arrived, I was finally able to free myself from her strong arms, as she was sleeping soundly.

"Borgar..." She drowsily said, probably dreaming of eating delicious food she liked.

After giving her a kiss in her forehead, I went to take a bath and then, went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

It was then that I meet Elizabeth, she was there drinking some coffee while calmly gazing at the morning sun.

Silently and beautifully.

The reflection of the sun over her golden hair made her resemble an angel.

If I could make a painting of her right now, it would surely be believed to be a celestial lady that had descended from the skies.

And I am not exaggerating.

Elizabeth, much like Erika, was praised by her looks by literally every male student I've met.

I don't know why, but it made me slightly proud she was in love with me, while everyone else was wishing she could even give them a glance.

Though, despite the beauty that she was, Elizabeth was an often lonely and solitary girl.

Unlike Erika, she had a hard time telling everything she felt, when she was younger, she was much friendlier.

But because of Ellergest's passing, and also the many years she was taught in the church, she grew to become much different than she used to be.

Nonetheless, deep down, she was still that adorable girl.

However, she only showed that side to me now.

"Well, I am amazed to find such a beautiful angel in here." I said, walking into the kitchen.

"Oh, Blake... You woke up early as usual." She smiled. "Want some coffee?"

"Sure." I sat down at her side.

"There you go." She said, giving me a cup of coffee.

I drank it a bit, the smooth bitterness of the drink woke up my entire body.

"The morning is sure beautiful at this hour." I noticed. n.o)VEL-u.s)B---C-o(m

"It is... It reminds me of... Ah, never mind." She giggled.

"Hm? No, tell me. What does it reminds you of?" I wondered.

"A-Ah, well, it is a bit embarrassing... I don't like being corny." She sighed.

"Haven't I told you a thousand times already that you can be yourself with me?" I asked. "Or... you don't trust me anymore?"

"I do..." She said, caressing my hand. "Geez, okay, fine... I just... this morning, I like waking up early and seeing the morning sun because it reminds me of a certain morning when we woke up together. It was some days before the whole Necromancer thing... When I went to stay at your house once."

"Oh, that day..." I nodded.

"I remember waking up and not finding you at all..." Elizabeth giggled. "And when I went downstairs, there you were... without a shirt, and sweating constantly while throwing punches and kicks in the air, gathering Aura and Ki, and constantly training, relentlessly... And I learned you did that every single day, without skipping a day. I remember that the sun shone brightly beneath your body... It made me feel... inspired to become stronger too, to be a bit like you."

"Oh, so is that why you suddenly changed your mind and wanted to learn how to fight?" I wondered.

"Yep, pretty much... Hahaha, I told you it was corny." She blushed a bit.

"Maybe." I laughed. "But it makes me feel flattered, to think you saw me in such a way..."

"E-Eh? A-Ahahah..." Elizabeth got even more embarrassed. "W-Well, you're really handsome..."

"And you're beautiful." I added.

"G-Geez, flirting this early in the morning..." She blushed. "A-Anyways! Why are you not training as usual?"

"I was caught by Erika's embrace and she didn't let me go in bed." I sighed.

"E-Eh?! Y-You two did it?! Wait, did Erika beat me to it?!" Elizabeth was shocked.

"Hm? No, we didn't do what you think we did..." I sighed. "That'll be for much later, Elizabeth..."

"A-Ah... Right." Elizabeth sighed in relief. "S-Sorry about that..."

"You don't have to feel sorry, I'm sorry if I scared you." I held her hand. "So, Erika said we could get married..."

"Eh?!" She was scared again.
