As had been under quite a lot of stress since he believed he had to face An and Yovana. He was in a race against time before. But now that he managed to retrieve the stone from An, his stress went down quite a lot. Now the only opponent that he had was Ramiun, which wasparatively more rxing.
He had dealt with all the Progenitors. Now all he needed to do was deal with someone who was strong but not on the level of a Progenitor, and he had quite some time for that. He still wanted to finish the task at hand as fast as he could, but he could also rx for now, take a few moments to breathe, and have some fun.
Because of what he went through, he was forced to grow up and mature fast, never being able to live his childhood. But now that things had started falling to ce, he was starting to recover his old self that he barely managed to experience.
Along the journey to the nearest town, he and Lancaster talked about lots of things. There was a lot ofughter as the two friends and Lilith actually bonded quite a lot.
"After you get Mise back, what will you do next?" Lancaster asked, along the journey on foot.
"After I get her back?" A beautiful smile spread across As'' face. "I will introduce her to you two. She would love to know you. And then, we will go somewhere nice on a vacation, where I can spend whatever time I''ll have left with you all... With my family..."
As had already visioned what he wanted to do. He didn''t even have to think about the question before answering.
He didn''t have much time. A month was the most he could have, and even that seemed unlikely at the moment. So even if he managed to bring back Mise as soon as he could, he could only have a week or so in this world before his Soul was going to be destroyed.
He wanted to spend hisst few weeks with the people that were truly like his family. He wanted to send it with Mise, Lancaster, and Lilith.
? He wanted to introduce Mise to these two since these two were going to be her family when he disappears. These two were going to protect her, not that she was going to need any protection since she was going to be a Progenitor by then. Still, it was good that she was going to have somepany after he left.
"What about you? What''s your n after we are done?" As asked in return, seeing the mood getting somewhere serious. "Will you go to the Kingdom of Wolves? Or will you start a new n of your own, like your Ancestor?"
"Go back to the Kingdom of Wolves? Razil said I''m not allowed to be there. That ce isn''t my home, and I am sure I''ll be attacked again if I go there again. As for starting a new n... Who knows? It''s quite possible. A n of my own..."
"What about you Lilith?" As shifted his attention to Lilith, who was still in his arms. "The old Castiel will be back after I''m gone. You would be quite relieved, right? You''ll be able to meet him again."
Lilith didn''t say anything. She didn''t know why, but this question felt quite ufortable for her. She wanted Castiel back! Castiel was his family, and she had been with him for centuries. Those two had be a family. She truly wanted him back, but just the thought that As was going to be gone forever was quite upsetting.
She didn''t understand why, but there was an ufortable feeling in her heart and a tinge of sadness.
Even she didn''t understand what her heart wanted. All she knew was that Castiel needed toe back, but she also didn''t want to lose As. Castiel was like her family, but As… She didn''t understand why she felt so attached to him, but she didn''t want to lose him.
"Finally, we are there!" Lancaster suddenly eximed, noticing a town in the distance. They had been walking for a really long time, and finally, they had reached the next town. Even Lancaster was feeling tired at this point.
Not only was he tired, but he was hungry as well.
His words distracted As as well, who also looked at the town. "For some reason, this journey felt shorter than I had expected."<novelnext></novelnext>
As entered the town. As soon as he and Lancaster entered, they attracted everyone''s attention right away.
As'' clothes were covered in blood entirely. As for Lancaster, he barely had any clothes. He just had a robe that was wrapped around his waist. Scars were visible all over his body, along with the Blood that had dried up.
The citizens of the town were frozen in ce. Some even started entering the nearest building they could find to hide. As for the others, they didn''t dare move even an inch, scared that they might get attacked if they ran. These people were too strange.
As ignored the people. They had already passed through this town before. Just because they were in their carriage, no one saw them. However, from inside the carriage, As had already seen a hotel in the town.
He didn''t need to ask anyone where the hotel was. Being stared at by all the citizens, he kept walking.
"You know, you can put me down. I am fine now." Lilith felt somewhat embarrassed, being carried like this before everyone. She didn''t know why. She never felt like this before.
"Are you sure?"
"I am. I can walk now."
"If you say so."
Since they were already in the town, As ced Lilith on the ground.
With As in the center, the group of three walked to the nearest hotel.
As they entered the hotel, even the hotel staff was horrified.
"We need three rooms for the night." As ced a gold coin on the table before the receptionist.
The receptionist was already scared. There was no way he could say no to these people, especially as he noticed As'' fangs when he spoke. It was evident that this person was a Vampire! He had to be an idiot to offend a Vampire!
He gave them three keys right away before instructing a staff member to escort the guests to their room.
It was already veryte at night, and everyone was very tired. They were also covered in blood and sweat. That made As decide to take rooms for everyone so they could take a nice shower and rest before looking for a carriage.
The staff member kept his eyes down as he escorted As and his friends to the rooms on the first floor. They were given rooms right beside each other.
