Regressing Through the Apocalypse with the Third Male Lead-Chapter 49: Volume 2 -

One week after

The walls are still under reconstruction and the villages with everyone already gone back to normal. So far no danger had striked again since their last fight.

Everyone inside the village had gone back to their designated jobs.

At Paula’s room.

Freyah’s mother gently wipes Paula’s face with a clean cloth soaked in warm water, Cleaning any remnants of dirt that taint her face and body.

"How’s her condition?" Florence softly asked as he entered again. Making his way to sear on the chair as he watches Freyah’s mother take care of the sleeping girl. He never misses a day since he woke up visiting here, making sure he’ll be there when Paula wakes up and gathers some information.

"She’s still unconscious as you can see but she did show some movements, like her hand somewhat moved for a moment but she sure needs a lot of rest to recover just like you said iho"

Freyah’s mother answered and then gently put the blanket on Paula’s body, with a sigh she sat down in the other chair.

The door opens again and Freyah, examining the still sleeping girl on the bed, "She still not awake.." she murmurs and then signals Florence with a nod, "excuse as for the moment" Florence stands up and leaves the room to follow Freyah.

Freyah continued walking ahead while Florence followed behind.

"Lady Lima you wanted to talk about the last incident, right?" Florence started as the two continue to walk, heading to the another room. Freyah nodded, since everyone was busy these past few days, she didn’t have the chance to tackle about it and now is the right time.

They entered one of the rooms, for a more private conversation. Freyah went to lean against the wall near the window where she can see the view outside while Florence sat down in the chair, a moment of silence between them.

"So..." They both said at the same time, Freyah smiles and Florence clear his throat.

Both of them wanting to learn something from each other.

"you go ahead, Lady Lima" He gestured for her to start, Freyah didn’t argue and nod, She crossed her arms and face him.

"First, about the girl—Your highness do you know anything about what happened to her? She’s not infected, but she almost transform into a demon..." Freyah said formally, her expression was serious and in deep thought as she tries to analyze what was really happening.

Florence gaze momentarily goes down to the floor, His mind was filled with different circumstances. He didn’t have the exact answers for her questions but he do know a lot about it. He took a deep breath before he speak and answer Freyah.

Looking up to Freyah, Meeting her gazes, and then he sighs deeply, "when I met the young lady up there, she was in great distressed my lady..." Florence started, Freyah stays quiet listening without breaking the eye contact.

As Florence spoke making their atmosphere a little bit tense.

"She didn’t want that as she pleaded for help, if I failed the second time, she’ll be ruined, it’s unsettling that there was something that wanted to use her body as a tool to eliminate you" Florence continue. His voice was firm, his fist slightly clenching just by remembering the incident, If he had failed the second time it would be hard for him to process things.

But as he thinks about it, Florence can’t brush off the feelings that something bad was really going to happen and the fear that was started to build up inside him as if his mind and heart was denying something, denying something he wouldn’t want to believe.

Freyah’s eyes narrowed, she was aware of that and the danger that surrounds her and the danger it brings to everyone around her, Someone wants her dead so that is why they are clearly targeting her. But going on as to use someone as a tool to kill her was a little bit too much, who would do that and why would they even do that? This never happened before.

Freyah can’t help but snicker inwardly. ’how coward of them? To even use an innocent girl to kill her?’ if they wanted her dead then fight her face to face and reasoned with her

"This demons...shouldn’t be here but still they are here for a one reason to eliminate me...why is that?" She murmurs as if asking the questions to herself than to him. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Florence sighs, "I was also asking myself the same question my lady but talking about them, the demons and also the young lady has said something about Lady Lima destroying the world" Florence felt something in his stomach, as he detailed about the conversation he had back when he is facing the demon core.

Freyah was unreadable as Florence tries to gauge some reaction from her, It wasn’t clear what she was thinking at moment when he said that about her destroying the world.

But despite that, Florence continue. "Lady Lima, i am thinking that this incident had some connections with my world...there’s this familiar feeling when I got the chance to deal with it face to face against the demon’s core"

His world? Connecting to ours? Is this because he was here? Is he attracting demons from his world? But if that’s the case why are they targeting me...

Freyah nodded, giving it a moment to process in her mind, She takes note mentally of everything Florence was saying and explaining to her as he started to elaborate things about demons and their world. Those things are not foreign to Freyah and she had knowledge about his world by reading it from the book, but it is still a whole new world if the character from it was the one talking about it.

"Your highness, if you’re saying that this incident has to do something from your world, then there’s something more to this than we can know..."Freyah gazes shifted to the view from the window, the villagers are busy doing their own business and everything seems peaceful at the moment. After all they had immediately recover from the incident because they really didn’t suffer a grave damages.

Florence keep his gaze to Freyah who had been watching the villager outide as he continue their conversation, "Indeed, Lady Lima, this might lead to something more in the future, but with that said, we should be prepared, even now that we know who is their target" Florence tone became more serious with determination, Maybe because it was Freyah’s safety they are talking.

Freyah was silent for a moment, "Yes, you’re right" Agreeing to him, Tho Freyah had already live once and was more ready than ever, If someone wanted her dead because she will ’destroy the world’ then she was ready to face them. Whoever it is or whatever it is, she’ll definitely won’t back down, she just hope that they face her face to face and fight fairly and stop using someone, well. It’s given that they definitely won’t fight fairly, they’re demons after all.

Freyah take a moment and keeps thinking about everything Florence had said as she process things and make comments inside her mind. She then look back to Florence noticing how serious he eversince the incident, trying to read him, He is definitely still having some unwanted feelings after the fight and so to change the mood Freyah’s serious face expression flash a soft smile as she locked gazes to Florence.

Florence eyes softened, He admired how she seems unbother from everything that’s happening right now even tho he can sense that Freyah was in a lot of pressure now

Freyah sighs and keep her smiles she already heard enough now and that’s enough for now as she spoke again. "Your highness... I’m going to travel again" She changed topic, lightening the serious mood that enveloped the room before adding, "It’s an invitation"

Florence was taken aback slightly, ’travel again, to where? He asked himself, confused and he shifted from his position to another position that makes him sit with his back straight. "Travel? Where to Lady Lima?" He asked trying to know the reasons knowing that every step that Freyah take was calculated and has its purpose.

Freyah smiles widen and she simply replied "To find meat" Florence almost laughed at Freyah’s simple reply, She definitely know how to make him smile even at a serious situation, Well if it is food they’re talking, He can’t help but find it amusing. He tries to understand her intentions but no matter how much he tries to gauge some reactions or how much he tries to read her, he can’t never know what was Freyah was thinking.

He gave in and laugh softly as if they didn’t just talk about something so serious moments ago, "A meat huh" He shakes his head. Well he absolutely liked the idea knowing they’re already running out of stocks.

"You’re really good at joking your lady but whenever you go that’s where I follow" He gave a soft genuine smile, whatever the reason that Freyah needs to travel again or it’s just an excuse so danger wouldn’t fall to the people surround her.

Florence wanted nothing more but for Freyah to know that he got her back like the way she got his back.
