Even though Edward knew both of the Elementalist knights well enough, and they also accepted him with open arms, Edward still did not feel comfortable having to be alone with them. Let alone had to deal with the two of them at once.Of course it will be another story if he left alone with Scarlet. He would cuddle her and do what normal couple do.
Perhaps because they were the knights plus the gap of their age quite far, Edward felt cautious. Unknowingly he always behaved carefully so as not to offend them and ruin their friends.h.i.+p with Scarlet.
For Scarlet, the friends.h.i.+p between the knights was very important. So he couldn"t break it away because of his carelessness.
"I could smell your tension here. You don"t need to worry." Said Kazuto interrupting his reverie.
"Forgive me. It looks like I"m still not used to it."
"We"ve been together for years. Why are you still not used to it?"
"That is not important at all." cut s.h.i.+n Ha before Edward answers Kazuto"s question. "What"s important now, you"ve found your inamorata. After twenty years of waiting, you finally meet her," exclaimed s.h.i.+n Ha.
"Really? Did you find your inamorata?" Edward asked cheerfully. "Congratulations! Should we celebrate it?"
Kazuto cringed at the words then sat down in front of Edward followed by s.h.i.+n Ha who had just fully dressed. Why should they celebrate it for? Why did Edward looked happier if he found his inamorata?
Was it because he still jealous of him?
A long time ago, before Scarlet became a red knight, Kazuto was closed with Scarlet. They were even thinking to marry each other in the future.
But that was past. The intimate feelings were gone ever since the girl became a red knight. So Edward shouldn"t worry about it.
"To answer your question, between yes and no. Yes, I have found her and no, I haven"t claimed her. I didn"t put my symbol on her."
"Why?"
"Why?"
s.h.i.+n Ha and Edward asked together meanwhile Kazuto heaved a heavy sigh.
"She"s at D-level only. I don"t feel the flow of her energy at all. If I put my symbol on her, the minute she received my black energy, she will..." Kazuto stoped no longer dared to continue his sentence.
"I understand." Replied s.h.i.+n Ha before the atmosphere in the room became spine-chilling with the flow of his friend"s energy.
It was basic knowledge. Not all inamoratas could receive the energy given by the Elementalist knight.There was once was a knight who fell in love with an ordinary girl who did not have any elemental energy.
Without preparation or waiting, that knight immediately put the symbol on the girl. As a result, his inamorata often falls ill because her body couldn"t bear to accommodate the overwhelmed energy. Not long after the illness caused her death.
Therefore, the Elementalist knight must be mindful of their action when they found the chosen inamorata.
Well, it was a very rare occasion. Most of them would find a strong elementalist as their inamorata. Alas, this very rare one happened to Kazuto.
"Then what will you do?"
"I will keep my distance before this feeling becomes more..." he stopped once again. He stood there like a statue.
"What"s wrong?" asked s.h.i.+n Ha, starting to worry.
Without answering, Kazuto got up and immediately came out of the room and ran towards somewhere.
s.h.i.+n Ha and Edward also followed him till they ran into Scarlet.
"Scar!" Edward greeted his fiancee. "I miss you."
Scarlet smiled happily hearing that. "Me too. What happened?"
"Ah, right. Kazuto just said he found his inamorata. But then he suddenly ran off somewhere. It seems like something happened."
"You said Kazuto found his inamorata?" Edward nodded his head. "And suddenly he just ran?" Edward nodded once more his head. "It means something happened to his inamorata."
Huh?
