An Exchange[2]

[Third Person POV],

If they were to ask the majority of people in the true world right now if they preferred the life they had now over the one they had in the past, you\'d find a lot of people choosing the latter over the former, but even then, you\'d find a few groups of people choosing the former instead, such as Ace and Emma.

Apart from being creatures driven by curiosity, with one not being afraid to try most things, and they were both talented in several aspects of magic, though one of them was unaware of this, these two had little in common.

This is why, when Emma learned that there was more potential trouble in the true world in the next ten days, she found it more interesting and something to look forward to than what it was meant to be, which was trouble.

She wasn\'t the only one who would have felt the same way if he had just heard the same information.

Emma was slightly lost in her thoughts when the dwarven king spoke again, bringing her back to reality.

"So I\'ll see you when fate permits again, lad," the dwarven king said, nodding approvingly as he turned to rejoin his race.

When Emma saw this, she quickly gave a bow and a few words of thanks for the information the dwarven king had just given her, as the dwarven king simply waved his hands in response without looking back as he and his race continued to make their way forward slowly under the gaze of Emma and Chris, who had just moved closer to her now that the dwarven king and his race were slowly departing from their current location under their gaze.

"Why did you bother doing that, Sister Emma?" Chris inquired immediately after approaching Emma.

Emma, who heard this, did not respond for a few seconds.

"I just thought of doing it to see if we could start off with a good relationship with an alien race," Emma stated, knowing Chris was referring to the event in which she bought wine jars for the dwarves despite the fact that they never asked.

Although Chris did not entirely believe Emma\'s actions were solely due to what she said, he had no choice but to do so because he couldn\'t read her mind, and he also felt Emma\'s actions were reasonable from another perspective.

While these thoughts were running through Chris\' mind, only Emma knew the real reason she went out of her way to buy wine for the dwarves even when she wasn\'t asked to.

Secretly using her right hand to touch her back from inside the thick leather clothes she brought from the store, Emma brought back her hand just to be met with a slightly bloody hand.

Seeing this, Emma realized she wasn\'t having an illusion the first time she saw this.

This was the main reason she acted recklessly at first by suddenly shouting to the dwarves to wait because she knew why her back was bleeding.

Rather than saying it was her back, it was the tattoo on her back that was bleeding, and strangely, Emma felt no pain despite this.

The bleeding did not begin recently, but rather when Emma first laid eyes on the dwarves, but due to her being taken back then, as well as the fact that the bleeding was painless, Emma did not realize this until the dwarves were on the move.

Emma could tell the bleeding was caused by the dwarves and even who among the dwarves caused it because when she moved closer to the dwarven king at the time, the bleeding on her back increased slightly.

Emma had no idea why this strange thing was happening at this time, but all she could do at the time was try to make friends with the dwarves, and the only way available at the time was to use wine.

Apart from the scroll in her hands, this was Emma\'s only reaction to her tattoo since it appeared, and she wasn\'t willing to let the cause go just like that, even though she knew nothing about it.

In the end, everything worked out well, so Emma didn\'t think much about it again and decided to leave it to fate, just as the dwarven king had said, even though she didn\'t know when she\'d see him again.

She believed the dwarves should at least greet her the next time they met because, based on their small interactions and observations, the dwarves appeared to be a peaceful species that was honest and moved at their own pace.

Perhaps they, like the stories of old and modern times, have an intense love of wine.

In any case, only time will tell whether the wine she brought for a total of 20 gold coins was a waste or not in the future.

Whatever the case may be, Emma believed she had at least established a positive relationship with the dwarves.

While Emma was thinking about these things and looking at the dwarves in front of her, she noticed that they all came to a halt and turned to look behind them, which was them.

When Emma saw this, she became concerned that something was wrong, and the questioning of Chris by her side, who also saw this, did not help matters. As she was about to respond, she felt a gush of wind pass her by, causing her to close her eyes for a second, and the next thing she knew after opening her eyes was to see the dwarven king in front of her.

When Emma and Chris saw this, a drop of sweat rolled down their cheeks.

The dwarven king must have noticed this because his next words reflected it.

"Don\'t worry lads, I\'m not here to harm you," he said calmly, and Emma and Chris\' expressions visibly relaxed as they focused their attention on what the dwarven king would say next as he turned to Emma.

"Could you assist me with something, lad?" The dwarven king inquired.
