She stared so intently at him that he started feeling uncomfortable. But then he smiled and pinched her face. " Child, I am a dragon. I lived already for a long time. Your games don"t work on me, so better stop doing this."The young woman looked confused for a while, but then changed expression. ""I still think you are my taste, but I will stop teasing you. Who are you people?" Ta.s.sio crossed his legs like Kendra and smiled at her. " We are emissaries. We were sent by the King of this country to search for power users and bring them to our school for further education and training."She scoffed. " We had such requests in our village a few years ago. The same line, in the name of King, and then what, all power users disappeared. I was just a small child then. My poor mother to protect me, sent me to the woods and when I came back, the village was burned to the ground and all the people killed. They didn"t even spare babies or animals. But I"m tired of running away from them. If you plan to kill me please do it painlessly and please spare my friend."
She closed her eyes awaiting deadly blow, but when nothing happened she peeked with one eye and saw Ta.s.sio staring at her with rose eyebrows. " Uhm, do you plan to torture me?" Lais couldn"t hear anymore and stood up. She slowly walked towards the girl and poked her head. " Did you turn dumb here, while living in the forest? If we wanted to kill you, do you think we would waste our time to do so? Child, I am of demonkind, we don"t flicker much. Now tell us, are those people still in this region and searching for power users?"
She had an interested glint in her eyes as they turned slightly red. Killing sparkles could be seen out of those deep wells. At the same time playful expression appeared on her face. She turned towards Kendra and saw she had same set thoughts. Even her hair on ends turned reddish and that means some fun is on the roll. Kendra gave her nod and smile. Isaa chuckled, Celia looked confused at the creepy expression of these people, only Ta.s.sio kept a poker face. But even he had anger in his eyes.
" Child, from now on you, and your friend are safe. We will send you soon to our fief where our school already awaits new students. Its safe place. The King seriously didn"t know their doings. So he sent us and will send later more to check for those with powers and to punish those that harmed and are still harming our people." Ta.s.sio slowly rose from his seat as he saw that the tree girls couldn"t wait anymore.Kendra stood up slowly and with a wave of hand created a blue fluffy cloud that instantly cuddled with the girl. " What is your name?"
As she stared at the boy, the girl got stunned by his looks. His white hair, strange eyes and calm expression were even more impressive than Ta.s.sio"s good looks. Slight pink started appearing on her cheeks as she politely stood up and shyly smiled." My, my name is Trixie." She stammered and became even redder as Kendra offered her hand. While slowly placing her hand into Kendra"s, her heart started racing and she avoided the eyes, staring at her.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Of course, Kendra had no idea about her feelings and just helped her onto the cloud. She actually thought that Ta.s.sio is the reason why she acted that way. Unfortunately for Trixie, she was not very experienced in romantic matters, so she had no idea how to read the situation.But the new arrival might be a new complication for their travels. She let the stunned Trixie hand go and started pacing up and down while thinking. Everyone got quiet, even Celia, but Trixie as romantic as she was, thought that the boy was interested as well, but didn"t know what to do. She held Kendra"s arm when she was about to pace again.
Unfortunately for her Kendra looked at her rather calm and bit irritated. She was about to say something but a cold voice behind her stopped the words in her throat. " Kendra is not interested. My brother has better taste in people than those like you. Sorry."Trixie looked at Isaa with annoyance, not knowing that her words meant that Kendra is just simply not interested in girls. " Humph. Kendra is grown enough to know what he wants. Right...Kendra? " Kendra blinked few times with her eyes and then realized the problem. But she couldn"t say the truth as they choose not to tell anyone about her gender, so she sighed. " Her words have some truth in it. I am at the moment only interested in growing and stabilizing my powers. Sorry, not interested in ANY kind of romance."
Trixie again misunderstood her words. " So you like power... In that case, I will do my best to become a strong woman, for you. Please wait for me. I will go yo that school and learn and become really strong. I promise..." Her eyes shone and her mind became determined to become stronger than she is now.They saw her expression and sighed. Kendra didn"t know how to stop her line of thinking. " I didn"t mean it that way...Sigh...If you want to become stronger, you definitely need to do it for yourself, or the growth of powers won"t have any meaning at all. "
" You are so kind, indeed. To push me to do it for myself and become a strong, independent woman... Not many men would do that. You are truly amazing." Trixie stood in front of Kendra and stared at her with big eyes filled with admiration and grat.i.tude. Isaa shook her head and turned her head towards Celia and Lais. " This is going to be complicated, right?" They simultaneously nodded.
Indeed complicated...
