Chapter 56: Emilia's Story
"I ...... I...... I'm worried about you!" Emilia was cornered by Edward, gritted her teeth, stood up suddenly, pointed at Edward's nose and said loudly, "You pervert, shut up!"
"Burden, worry...... Me?" Edward was stunned.
"Eh?!?"
He couldn't believe his ears.
The brave man actually said to himself that she was worried about herself? How could it be, she was mistaken!
"Y-What did you just say?" asked Edward tentatively.
"I, I, I, I didn't say anything. Emilia dodged her eyes, not daring to make eye contact with Edward.
"But I heard you say ...... just now."
"I didn't say it! I didn't say it!" Emilia turned red as she defended herself in a frustrated manner.
"No, you absolutely said it, I heard you very clearly. You say......"
Edward asked relentlessly, but before he could finish his sentence, he was hit in the face by a soft object.
"You pervert!" Emilia was so angry that she picked up the pillow on the bed and slammed it on, "Ahhh
"Uh...... Don't get excited. β
Amilia's sudden change of attitude made Edward uncomfortable.
"What more do you want to ask? I'll tell you all!" said Amilia.
She clenched her fists tightly and met Edward's gaze, looking like she was at home.
"Hey, can you be quieter......"
"What are you waiting for? Don't you have a lot of questions?"
"Well, okay, I'll just ask...... Why are you fighting Arthas? He's a prince, aren't you afraid he'll go to his father and complain?"
"Of course I have my reasons! Don't get me wrong, I-I'm not worried about you. I'm because ......"
"Because, what?"
"I'm afraid you're dead!" Emilia raised her voice, her cheeks flushed, and she forced herself to continue, "IβI'm afraid you'll be killed by the Alsace Guys!
"Uh...... Brave man, your logic is very strange. Edward muttered quietly, "Isn't it the same as worrying about me to be afraid ......of me?"
"No, no! I said no!" Emilia couldn't explain anything, but the more and more she described, she grabbed Edward by the collar and lifted him up from the bed, "It's different!"
"What's the difference?"
"You're the Demon King, if your identity is revealed, I'll ...... it."
"That's it?"
"I can't get revenge!" Emilia finally found a plausible excuse and yelled at Edward, "Didn't you say you wanted to help me? Yes, you have to help me!
"Your permission?"
"Ah, that's right. When it's all over, I'll be the first to kill you!
"Why?"
"Just because you're a big pervert!"
"Uh...... All right. Edward shrugged indifferently.
"......" For some reason, Emilia was silent.
"Why don't you speak?"
"Whew......" Emilia took a deep breath, her breathing rhythm gradually slowing down, and the crimson on her face slowly faded.
"What excuse do you want to make? Say, I'll listen. β
β......β
"Hehe, have you finally calmed down? β
"......," Emilia didn't say a word.
She silently let go of Edward's collar and threw him back on the bed, slowly sitting back on her own, staring blankly at the ground.
She realized her abnormality. Like Edward said, now she has finally calmed down.
After a while, Emilia whispered, "I'm sorry. β
"Why apologize?"
"For, all of it. I'm in trouble for you...... Very, sorry. IβI shouldn't have done anything to Arthas, and I shouldn't have lost my temper with you just now, I ......" Emilia lowered her head, her voice as thin as a gossamer, "All in all, I'm sorry. β
"What are you talking about? It's too quiet to hear. β
"I said, I'm sorry......"
"It's still too quiet, you say it again. Edward pretended not to hear, put his hand over his ear, and listened hard.
β......β
"Eh, why don't you speak? Quick, say it again. β
"Pervert, you're enough!"
"Tsk, there's no sincerity at all! You still dare to scold me?"
"No, I didn't mean that......"
"Then what do you mean? I don't think you're reflecting at all!"
"Uh......h Yes, I'm sorry......" Emilia was about to cry aggrieved.
"That's right~~" Edward nodded proudly, "Hehe, forget it, I won't tease you." β
"What did you say? What were you kidding me just now? You pervert, I ......"
"Ahhhh......h I'm so sleepy, I'm really tired today. β
Edward didn't give Emilia a chance to continue, he stretched out his arms and lay comfortably on the bed, staring at the ceiling in silence.
He encountered a lot of people and things today, and after calming down, he had the illusion of being in a different world.
A few months ago, he was still in the Demon King's Castle in the Everfree Forest, staring at himself in the mirror in a daze, feeling confused about his lost memories. And now, he has become accustomed to the new life.
Every day I quarrel and quarrel with Emilia, and when I get bored, I mix with other humans to have some fun, and occasionally encounter some small troubles, which can be solved cleanly.
As for the truth, revenge, and the mysterious organization - the Gate of Original Sin - all of them were left behind by him, and he was just enjoying life.
A decadent life doesn't need to be explained.
If time goes back and the original normal Demon King knows what he is doing now, how would he feel?
He must have been crazy - he probably thought.
However, this cannot last forever. Whenever fate rolls forward towards the original trajectory, there will always be new people and new things that miraculously emerge, changing the direction of history with their insignificant power.
"Arthas, he'......," Emilia said quietly.
"......" Edward didn't raise his head, didn't pit a pit, and lay lazily on the bed.
"Hey, I'm going to say, don't you want to hear it?"
"Well, you say, I'm listening. β
"Uh......h You, you ......" Emilia was about to have a seizure, but after thinking about it, she held back, and then, she began to tell Edward what had happened.
The story, here's how.
Arthas came to trouble them, so she followed Edward's advice and left the land of the Wild Bear Tribe under the pretext of taking George with her, leaving Edward to deal with Arthas for her. However, in her later conversation with George, she felt that she had to do something, and ran back.
"Wait, I have a question. Edward interrupted Amilia's narration.
"You have a lot of questions. β
"What did George say to you, and how did you feel?" I was curious......" Edward asked pointedly.
"It'sβit's none of your business!" Emilia refused.
"Huh?" Edward said with a smile as he looked at Emilia with interest, "Could it be that you finally realized your deep feelings and were going to confess to me?"
β...... Do you want to die?"
"No, no, no, hehe, just kidding, you continue. β
So, Emilia continued her story.
When she arrived at the Wild Bear Tribe, she found that Edward was gone, and only Arthas and John were left on the scene, not only that, but there were also black ashes on the ground, and half-broken wooden swords, and John still had iron weapons in their hands.
There must have been a fight!
The half-cut sword is undoubtedly Edward's, and the most important thing is that Edward is not here!
Summing up all the clues, she came to the conclusion that Edward had been defeated.
"Am I so vulnerable in your eyes? I'm a demon king, I look like a weak human being, but I'm a real demon king! I don't believe you slash me! the wound will heal in no time!Can a human do it?" Edward cried out dissatisfied.
"Good. Then I'll give it a try. Emilia said as she pulled out her holy sword.
"Hey, hey, I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously. β
"Shut up and listen to me!"
"Uh-huh, you say it. β
The story continues.
She asks Arthas about Edward's whereabouts, to which Arthas replies that Edward has been called away by Angelina. She didn't believe it, believing that Arthas was lying, because Angelina wouldn't be so intimate with Edward. So, in a fit of rage, she punched Arthas a few times and kicked a few times, trying to force him to tell the truth.
"If you don't agree with each other, you will fight each other. I don't think you're a brave, you're a hooligan, right? Edward said with a smile.
β......β
"Uh...... Don't stare at me like that, people are scared. You go on and say, I shut up. β
The story continues.
She wanted to force Arthas to tell the truth, but Arthas had something else in mind.
She was shocked by the answer she received.
"What did he say to you?" asked Edward nervously.
"He recognized me for who I was. β
"It's fine. Even if he recognizes your face, we can prevaricate. He doesn't have any proof, maybe he recognized the wrong person, so why should he insist that you are a brave man, right?" Edward comforted Emilia with a smile.
"No, he has proof. β
"What?"
"The other day, we were ...... in the Silver Pine Forest"
"Oh, you're talking about the last time you went to the Silver Pines Forest to find the Tears of the Goddess. What does that have to do with him?"
"He knows it all, he ...... it all" Emilia took another deep breath, her voice trembling, "that day, he saw my holy sword...... This is the best evidence. β
