Chapter 222: chapter 222- Sparring



Taufik\'s body, which was like a sculpture from the hands of the Creator himself, was bathed in moonlight, and his long hair was blown by the midnight wind. The place where this palace was built was right on top of a hill, which directly faced the sea. When seen from above, this palace was built around a large tree that stood upright right in the middle.

Taufik looked out at the vast ocean with a nostalgic gaze, who knows what was on his mind.

Then a pair of hands suddenly hugged him from behind, but that didn\'t surprise Taufik at all.

"... I thought you Ware a sleep"

"I Ware, but when I notice that you\'re not by my side, I wake up. Tell me, Honey, what is inside your Head that you making an Expression like that?"

Gaia asked, pressing her cheek against Taufik\'s broad back.

"... I just thought about where my father is right now and what he\'s doing..."

"..."

Hearing Taufik\'s answer, Gaia seemed silent, not knowing what to say, but what Taufik said after that made Gaia quite surprised because it was very random and so sudden.

"... Tell me, Gaia, What\'s chasing you"

Hearing that, Gaia looked a little surprised, with her eyes widening, but only for a moment before Gaia closed her eyes again and tightened her hug.

"... You know?"

"I don\'t know, that\'s why I ask, what is that thing that made you change this much... It\'s not simply because you lose your power, isn\'t it? There\'s probably something else, something that you are trying to hide from others... From me...

With that, Taufik turned his body and stood facing Gaia, his hand touching Gaia\'s cheek, and Gaia, who seemed to enjoy it, closed her eyes and rubbed her cheek against Taufik\'s palm as if she didn\'t want to let go of it, with how Gaia held Taufik\'s wrist with both of her hands.

... Tell me Gaia, what is that something?"

"... I... I-"

Seeing Gaia looking hesitant, Taufik, with his other hand, immediately circled Gaia\'s slender hips and pulled her into his embrace.

"Ehh!"

Gaia gasped softly at Taufik\'s sudden action. She looked up, with Taufik standing with his back to the moon, making the curves of Taufik\'s face more visible, and the gentle gaze from Taufik\'s blue eyes that were directed at her made her stop breathing for a moment.

Gaia seemed a little shy with how she tried to avoid Taufik\'s gaze by looking left and right, but Taufik just thought it was funny and then bent down his head to seal Gaia\'s lips, Gaia seemed a little surprised, but after a while, she started to enjoy it, a few moments later Taufik lifted his head.

"... What\'s that for?"

Ask Gaia with her face turned bright red and looked flustered, somehow.

"Nothing, I just thought that you were very cute, so I couldn\'t help myself... So care to tell me, now?"

"... It\'s not fair to use a woman\'s feelings, you know?"

Hearing that, Taufik chuckled, and with a smile still visible on his face, Taufik said to Gaia, with love that could be felt from the way he spoke.

"... But you\'re just not any woman, aren\'t you?"

"Wha-"

"... You\'re my woman"

"..."

"Hm?"

"... Since when you Ware this smooth, or are you always like this?"

"Hm? Ahaha~ who knows? Maybe I just like this because of you, so care to talk?"

"*Sigh* with that face, you\'re too dangerous for all of the women on earth, I\'ll talk about it with Jenn and the others when we meet later... Okay, I\'ll tell you, but before that, you should know that what I\'m going to say isn\'t something pleasant to hear... you have to prepare yourself"

Hearing that, Taufik could only laugh awkwardly, but after hearing what Gaia said next, he couldn\'t smile at all, let alone show any other expression, because like what Gaia said, it wasn\'t something that was pleasant to hear.

------------

Until morning came, Taufik did not close his eyes at all, he kept thinking about what Gaia said last night.

\'... If the System were here, maybe I could consult a bit, but with him not waking up yet, this is getting a bit confusing... A five-hundred-year war... But my time here is only five years at the very least, What should I do?\'

Taufik thought, then looked at Gaia who was resting beside him.

\'... She\'s still can sleep peacefully like this, even though always dreaming of such a Scene; what a strong woman... No, maybe she just knows how to hold it in, maybe that\'s why a gentle woman like her can turn into a... yandere? Pfft ~ What am I thinking? Gaia is Gaia, and will never change...

She will still care and be ready to sacrifice if it\'s for the earth and its inhabitants...\'

Said Taufik while stroking Gaia\'s pale green hair, which made Gaia groan a little.

\'But, don\'t worry, I won\'t let you sacrifice more than this, I will definitely find a way... no matter what.\'

And with that, Taufik kissed Gaia\'s cheek, and then left the bed, put on some clothes, and then went out to get some fresh air.

------------

On his way to explore this maze-like corridor, Taufik got lost. Fortunately, a maid passed by, and after seeing Taufik, the maid bowed respectfully and said.

"... Your Majesty, can I assist you with something?"

"Great timing; I want to go out to meet Sir Axel, but I\'m lost. Can you show me the way?"

"Early in the morning like this, Sir Axel is usually at the training ground, to train the soldiers, and the training ground is on the opposite side, Your Majesty"

Hearing this, Taufik looked behind him, and what he saw was just a long corridor that seemed endless; Taufik could only grin awkwardly and looked back at the maid, who surprisingly remained calm even though she was faced with Taufik.

"... You know what? Can you take me there?"

"My pleasure, Your Majesty, this way please"

Said the maid who then started walking in front of Taufik.

"..."

"..."

"*ukhum* So, what\'s your name?"

"It\'s Mathilde, Your Majesty"

"Oh~ Mathilde, I see~"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"... How long have you worked here, Mathilde?"

"It\'s been as long as my memory can remember, Your Majesty"

"Huh? What do you mean by that?"

"That\'s what I mean, Your Majesty, I have no other memories other than my memory of being here"

"Oh~ So you have lost your Memory, huh?"

"Yes"

"That\'s really sad, my condolences"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, But I\'m not the only one like that, everyone in this Kingdom has their own story, some even sadder than mine, so I never complain at all, and continue to do what I can, in the hope that one day my memory will be fully restored... Or maybe I hope it never recovers at all"

"Hu-"

"We\'re here, Your Majesty, Please enjoy your time, and I will return to my duties"

"We are?"

Ask Taufik; maybe because he was busy talking, he didn\'t realize that they had been walking for quite a long time and had arrived at the Training Ground; Taufik looked to the side, and there he saw Sir Axel giving instructions to the soldiers, maybe they were new recruits.

"Oh~ you\'re right, Thank you, Math- huh?"

Taufik wanted to say thank you, but Mathilde had already walked far away. Seeing this, Taufik felt a little surprised.

"... What a strange Maid, Mathilde, I\'ll remember that Name"

Said Taufik, who then went to approach Sir Axel.

------------

"Oohh~ Your Majesty, What did I owe you for this sudden visit?"

Said Sir Axel who saw Taufik\'s arrival.

"Are you training them?"

"Yes, it\'s my job as the CommanderI always prepare them, to be ready in all conditions, because no one knows when something will happen"

"I see~ It\'s Good to be cautious"

Said Taufik while looking at the soldiers who were swinging their swords repeatedly.

"... You want to try it, Your Majesty?"

"What?"

"Spar"

"With them?"

"No, With me"

"Oh-ho~ So you already know my Intention for coming here, It\'s Good, I also want to move my body a little, so this is a good time"

Said Taufik, and hearing that, Sir Axel could only laugh a little, and then looked towards the Soldiers.

"Clear the Training Ground, His Majesty the King will show you a trick or two, so pay close attention"

Hearing this, the soldiers looked enthusiastic, and immediately vacated the training ground and stood on the side.

"W- what?"

"Your Majesty, This way, Please~"

"Y-You!"

"It\'s Something Bothering you, Your Majesty?"

"... Nothing, Just be ready"

"Ahaha~ I always ready, Your Majesty"

Said Sir Axel, and then the two of them stepped forward into the vacated training ground.

"Would you like a spare sword, Your Majesty?"

"No, I have my own"

Said Taufik, who then immediately stretched his hand to the side, from there blood started to come out, and immediately formed a sword, this sight was enough to make the soldiers around quite shocked, but not to the point where they thought Taufik was strange, because the era they were currently living in was an era like that, magic and others were commonplace for them.

"... Blood Magic"

Sir Axel muttered as he looked at Taufik\'s Blood Sword.

"Oh~ You know this?"

"I am, I have many questions, but let\'s do that after the spar is done"

Said Sir Axel, who then took out his sword from its sheath and then started to take a stance.

"I\'ll be a little serious, Your Majesty"
