Chapter 3 Hurt

After confirming that Royce had gone away from Rumi's room, unexpectedly William had been standing behind the girl so that when he turned around and finished closing the door, he was both shocked and surprised.

"What is it? Why didn't I know where you were?" Rumi pretended to be confused by Will's behavior.

The young man just smiled as he gently stroked Rumi's hair, "You are so nosy. It's nice to tease her own sister like that."

"Yes! I'm very happy when I see emotions. Yes... even though I was actually a bit scared, because no matter how angry a man is, moreover he is definitely very fierce and far from reasonable."

"Excessive. Ha ha ha."

"So what? Do you feel sorry for your future brother-in-law?"

"Not. What's the pity for? He is stronger and more everything than me. So I shouldn't pity him."

"What are you talking about? Ha ha ha ha."

"I don't know either, maybe it was because you were infected that you became like this. Ahahahaha."

The conversation between the lovers was still continuing, after they finished talking about Rumi's older brother, now they shifted the topic to something unusual. Not to do with happiness or sweet things.

The face of the handsome blue-eyed young man sitting beside Rumi's bed now looks gloomy. His eyes were fixed on something outside the bedroom window. Every now and then it can be seen that the young man sighed quickly, as if he was holding back the pain, pain, and inner wound in his heart.

Although Rumi felt strange and wanted to ask the cause, but he couldn't casually ask something quite personal. That is about his family. Because after all, the long story that Peter had told Rumi about Will some time ago, was not enough to satisfy Rumi's curiosity.

In his heart Rumi was wondering, "Earlier... why couldn't my brother find him huh? Did Will use his magic? But... isn't the magic disappearing even if it's only temporary?"

The frown on the black-eyed girl's forehead was a sign that she was not in a good condition. The girl's eyes looked unfocused, she looked in another direction but her mind drifted somewhere.

"What's wrong, Rumi? What's wrong with you?" Will realized that, he was worried about the mental state of his future wife.

"Ah... it's okay. I'm... fine, just... maybe sleep deprived. Oh, yes ... it's dawn now, my parents must be sleeping too. So... I'm going to sleep too, good night, Will."

At that moment Rumi lay down on a soft, fragrant, and comfortable bed. Then he didn't forget a thick blanket to cover his whole body from the cold in the morning suburb of Willis.

A few minutes later, Rumi changed his sleeping position to be sideways to the right which means his back to the sitting position of Will. The yellow-haired youth understood the behavior of his future wife, who was in an unstable state.

After that, Will made sure that Rumi was sound asleep while bringing his face closer to Rumi's face. Now, they are faced with a very close distance. With Will lying down on Rumi's bed, next to the girl with both hands resting on her head.

The two young men's eyes watched carefully the face of a girl he loved who had been sleeping for a long time.

"Sleep well," Will murmured then, tugging at the corners of his lips.

Then Will rubbed Rumi's cheek with tenderness and affection. In his mind, he didn't really care what other people said about their relationship. Namely hate speech that is so demeaning to the dignity of a Will who suddenly claims to be the future husband of a princess as beautiful as Rumi.

Although there were many things that broke the young man's heart, nothing was more painful than finding the person who had killed his parents in the Dove district.

"I promise you, Rumi. After my magic returns to perfection, I will immediately go to where that person is and avenge my family. After that... our life will go well. I promise."

Even though the handsome young man was only muttering, it was Rumi who had not yet fully entered the dream world, because Will was in front of Rumi, the girl could hear clearly what her future husband was saying.

In Rumi's mind, there was a thought that the relationship would not run smoothly because many people were against it. Even though they seemed to agree and didn't show anything suspicious, it still couldn't be denied that Will did have a bad life history, which in fact, according to Rumi, his husband's life journey was full of very sad grief.

Will suddenly flinched as he felt something pricking his chest. "What's this?" he muttered in surprise as he got out of bed.

Then before long, the tightness came back with a stronger one. "Uhh!" groaned the young man as he tried to reach a chair near the window.

With staggering and struggling, Will finally managed to reach the loveseat and sit on it with difficulty.

His right hand holds the front of the body that still hurts, "what is this feeling? why all of a sudden?"

Will tries to find out the cause by using the remaining magic power he has. In the silence of his mind, he closed his eyes and then tried to focus on something from the root or source of his current pain.

ZZZZZZZZZZ

A shadow of a bluish light appeared so bright, at that moment the yellow haired youth's eyes opened. His eyes bulged violently, "a sword?"

Then he tried to get up from his seat to look for the object in question, namely Rumi's knight sword.

Will constantly searched for the sword in Rumi's room, in places where it was possible for the girl to keep the most valuable things for her family and herself.

However, after a long time of searching, Will couldn't find anything he was looking for. Even though he had rummaged through the cupboard and other small places the young man could not find it either.

"Where does Rumi keep it?" The young man's forehead wrinkled, his chest still ached. The power of the sword, even though it was not near and far from Will, the young mage could still feel the effects of the power of the knight's sword which was indeed an antidote to magic power.

"UHHH!" Will grimaced again, now he was slumped in front of the cupboard opposite the bed, therefore Rumi did not hear the sound of his falling from Will's knee which the young man was holding so as not to make a noise when he touched the wooden floor.

Will stared at a girl who was fast asleep on the bed, unconsciously swallowing saliva in her throat.

The young man wrinkled his forehead, "could it be that he kept the sword at the bottom of his bed? But... I can't just wake him up, I... don't want to disturb his rest."

Even in a sad state, Will still thinks about the condition of his future wife.

Finally, after a long time the young man sat limply on the floor, he decided to go away from Rumi's private room.

Slowly he got up and opened the door to Rumi's room, then he went out by passing through the door before he had looked at the girl who was fast asleep on the bed for a long time.

While outside the room, after closing the door, someone was watching William's movements.

That person was Kimi, the cold girl approached Will who was still silent by standing limply beside Rumi's bedroom door.

"What are you doing here?" asked Kimi curtly, he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"The power of Rumi's knight's sword is so strong, I can't bear to get close to him," Will replied, struggling to endure the pain and tightness in his chest.

"Follow me, you'd better stay away from that sword area."

Then Kimi turned around and walked to the backyard area of the house. As for the yellow-haired youth, he only complied by following the girl while walking slowly behind Kimi.

"Do you know why I'm like this?" Will asked as their feet were still walking toward the backyard.

"Shut up! I'll explain later," replied Kimi curtly without turning to Will.

Will complied by keeping his mouth shut and holding back all the questions that were running through his mind.

When he arrived at the backyard, suddenly the pain and pain in Will's body suddenly disappeared as if he had never felt pain. He is back fit and healthy again.

The two young men's eyes widened in shock, "how could that be...?" Will stared in surprise at Kimi who still had her back to him.

Shortly after, Kimi turned around and met Will's gaze sharply, "That's because this area is filled with fairies and also friendly and holy forest creatures. They are so pure that they can relieve all pain in the body. Do you remember the first time you came to this place with Rumi?"

At that moment Will's head nodded confidently, "Yes, I remember. So what?"

"What did you feel the first time you set foot here?"

"Ordinary."

"Are you really stupid or what?"

"What do you mean talking like that?!" Will began to get carried away by emotions because of Kimi's harsh words.

"You feel serene, peaceful and happy, don't you?"

This time Will only replied to Kimi's words with a casual nod. Although actually in Will's head, there is a sentence that he can feel the pleasure because he is with the person he loves.

"That's what makes this garden special, because it is inhabited by hundreds if not thousands of pure and pure little fairies."

After saying that, suddenly from behind Kimi came a group of something flying in a neat order. The group made a sparkling light that warmed the heart and soothed the eyes when they saw it.
