Chapter 48: An Oscar Winning Performance!

after hugging me for a while she let go, a small blush could be seen on her face, seeing that i was amused

ohh~~Kane are you blus.h.i.+ng, you look so girly right now

my words made her more embarra.s.sed but she didnt retort, right now her most important priority was to help her mother, as for this dense guy she would deal with him later

how are you going to help my mother?

hearing her question i put on a serious face, seeing that she tensed up

you dont have to worry about it, just go back to the inn and stay there,i would be back in 2 days

before i could move she stopped me with a worried face she looked ta me

what are you going to do?, where are you going?

placing a finger on her lips i spoke

dont worry i would be fine, just go back to the inn you dont have to worry about anything

even though reluctant Scarlet could only nod

please be safe

giving her a nod of affirmation, i walked away while Scarlet could only go back to the inn to await Austins return

2 Days later~~~~~

Scarlet was currently in the inn walking left and right with worry, her mother had grown more pale and weak these few days, along with not seeing Austin her worries only increased, it was at this time a knocking sound was heard

excited she ran up to the door and opened it the sight that greeted her caused her to scream out in fear and sadness

Austin stood before her, his cloak completely dripping with blood, his face pale and blood could be seen in his face, overall he looked like someone that was on the door of death

weakly i feel into her embrace, she caught me before i fell, with tears in her eyes she asked

what happened to you, why are you like this?

without replying to her i took a small container, from my dress, looking pained and tired i replied with a smile

get you-your mo-mother to drink this, after that she would be fine

my hoa.r.s.e voice caused her to flinch, seeing the bloodied container that i held strongly with my life, more and more tears flowed out of Scarlets eyes, she couldnt understand

why?

her voice was filled with pain and guilt, she could see that Austins had risked his life for this and its more likely to extremely precious too, yet he had given it to her

hearing her question i gave out a weak smile amd spoke

i promised you didnt i, plus i could not see you being sad

with that i fainted, seeing Austins performance even the most experienced of actors would give him thumbs, even the biggest of frauds would kneel in submission, too bad the only one who knew this was Austin and a certain pink haired women watching the scene while eating some popcorns

Scarlets life could never being said to be perfect nor a great one, ever since a young age she could see that she was different from others

from a small age itself she had a high amount of intelligence and her strength too was above normal humans but what was must different was that she could see the flow of mana

it was only later that she understood that it was not normal but for whatever reason it was she couldnt take the mana into her body, it was as if something was preventing her from taking it in

but all things considered she had a loving mother whom she from a young age could see working to provide for her, she never knew her father, all her mother said was that he was very powerful

but she didnt care, she actually hated him for leaving her and her mother alone to face this cruel world, due to her high intelligence she grew more mature than most of the peers of her age

she could always subtly understand the intentions from others by reading their mana, this had developed a slight prejudice for her against men, whom she deemed useless and untrustworthy

the glances they threw towards her mother when they saw her and her natural anger towards her father created that image, she was only 9 when her mother fell ill and she had to take up work

even though she was in the lowest level in the society, she still had her pride, she picked up garbage and did other works to earn money, during that time she even started dressing up as a boy to avoid certain glances some people threw her

she had always worked alone and always depended on herself for everything, according to her trusting other especially men was not good

this was due to her dragon bloodline that gave her a deep sense of pride and need to handle herself, each dragons always depended on themselves and would never take help but once a dragon fell in love then they would unhesitatingly do everything for their love

Scarlets life went on like this till she was 11, until she met him, at first she just wanted to mug him but later on when he freed her and payed her to introduce the city a small change happened

she kneely understood that he didnt have any animosity towards her and that he wanted to help her, she couldnt understand why but free money was always good

at first she wanted to use him to earn some advantages from him but the more she spend with him the more interested she became

his mannerism, the way his spoke, the calm and innocent mana and aura she saw around him greatly interested her, it was the first time that she saw such a innocent and attractive aura around anybody

within just a week the closed off heart of hers opened upto him, at first she was just mildly interested in him, to see what kind of person he is, she found out that he was kind, caring and a very interesting person to speak too

but the things that happened later on changed her view completely, the moment he had saved her from that despairing situation her heart shook

her mother always told her that she would find her love, someone whom she would share her burdens but she had scoffed at that idea

why would someone do anything for her without anything in return?

but she was mistaken and when she thought that her mother would die he was beside her to share her burdens, for the intelligent and rational Scarlet this was a huge stir to her heart

she knew that she was falling in love, the 2 days she waited for him to return back to her was spend worrying about him, she tried to control herself but she couldnt as her worry only grew

and the moment she saw him hurt her heart almost shattered, the sight of him hurt and holding a container, which was clearly extraordinary from its aura, made her mind and heart shake

he was willing to almost die for her, he didnt ask anything in return and he only did this for her now how could she remain calm?

she knew that day what she wanted, she knew that day whom she wanted to spend her life with, she would keep him safe and with her for a long time to come that is.
