Chapter 28- The departure part 2

Gabriel POV

I stayed with Claudia in her bedroom, She was resting on my chest with a wide smile on her face.

Claudia looked into my eyes and said.

“ Gabriel, do you love me?” Claudia

I didn’t want to lie and told her the truth.

“ I love you, not only you but also the others, do you still love me?”

She stared into my eyes and sigh.

FUFU you are an optimistic one, my queen.

“ Yes I am” Claudia

Looking at her, I started to chuckle.

“ What? Do you think I will do this to you if I didn’t love you?”

“ Don’t worry, I will do anything for you, even if I destroy the whole demon continent”

“ Don't, I don't want to involve innocent citizen and makes them suffer just because of the war” Claudia

“ Sigh, my queen you are really a pure maiden, if not for your position, I will misjudge you as a saint”

“ Don’t you like my personality?” Claudia

“ No, because you’re not only beautiful, you are also a kind woman”

“ Whenever I look at you, I could see the desperation to save your own kind, you’re even willing so sacrifice yourself”

“ So when I first met you, I decided to make you mine because I don’t want to see you with someone that will only use you for power”

Claudia look at me in a daze, after a few seconds of silence, she suddenly talks.

“ Is that so?” Claudia

“ That is so”

“ I finally met the real you, I thought I would never have the chance to see that side of you, but now you showed it to me” Claudia

“ What a clever queen you are”

We kissed each other and use our tongue, Claudia was now accustomed in kissing and started to kiss me every time she got the chance.

“ Come back alive” Claudia

“ FUFU who do you think I am?”

“ Well, look likes I don’t need to worry anyway, you even defeated General Eugene, so I doubt that anyone can beat you besides a GODS” Claudia

“ Don’t worry too much, I will return, I swear”

“ Thank you” Claudia

“ You don’t have to thank me, this is my duty as your man, isn’t it? And your duty as my woman is to wait for my return”

“ I will wait for you even if it takes forever” Claudia

“FUFU that’s my queen”

I kiss her forehead, then look into her at her face.

“ This will only take a while, I promise”

“ Okay” Claudia

Claudia falls asleep.

I loved her, but also loved the others, my heart was not the same as those mortals, I can love many because of my soul. I cannot pick one because my soul wouldn’t me allow to.

My soul was the very heart of my being.

I didn’t think of it as a curse, but a blessing to allow me on loving the people I want to protect, that was the reason I want to exist.

I will take my time to leisurely enjoy this trip so I can meet more interesting toy, I am really eager to go with them.

While I was thinking, I started to feel that my eyelids became heavy, as they fall down I fall asleep.

Morning came, I woke up and look into my queen, but saw nothing. Claudia already left her room and didn't wake me up.

Sigh, why didn’t she wake me up, Damn it! What if someone came here and saw me sleeping on her bed.

They will think that I did something with you! Sigh, it's already happening so I can’t do anything about it.

I left her room, using her balcony and jumped into a nearby tree, I saw Claire training her soldiers. FUFU look likes she recovered after that time.

I walk in front and greet her, she looks at me with a firm gaze, but her eyes say, that she hadn’t still forgotten that thing happen two days ago.

“ Good morning, Claire”

“ Oh, Gabriel Good morning, how are you yesterday?” Claire

“I am fine, what about you? I didn’t see you yesterday, did I?”

” Well, I am sorting my thoughts out” Claire

“ What thoughts, I wonder?”

“ Don’t play around Gabriel, you are the one who started it after all” Claire

“ Are you mad at me?”

“ I am not, instead I am happy if it's you” Claire

“ Why?”

“ You will not do that if you don’t love me, right?” Claire

Oh, this girl knows me well.

“ You know me well, but are you sure that you won’t regret what happen that time?”

“ I not, after all, I also feel the same way as the queen towards you”Claire

I like this girl's personality, FUFU my love for my toy increase again.

“ Ooh, I feel the same way”

Claire became red because of my answer, as I thought, she was not good at this kind of things.

“ Wh.. What are you saying stupid!” Claire

And she runs, FUFU how cute, well, I didn’t tease her. I only said the truth.

Well, it’s fine anyway, whether she believes me or not. I am obligated to protect her.

What kind of a man I am if I didn’t take the responsibility after taking advantages of her.

I am a gentleman so don't think that I am a man who doesn't take responsibilities.

Where is the fun, if they're no obstacle FUFU.

Today was our departure, but before that we need to fill our stomach first.

I saw Philia and the others when they notice me, they stop and look at me.

What!? Did I do something again!? While I am questioning myself, Philia walks beside me.

“ Gabriel, did you see Pola?” Philia

“ No, I did not”

“ Are you sure?” Philia

Damn it! Do all of you trust me at all?

“ Yeah, why do you ask me anyway?”

“ Well, you’re the only person close to Pola beside the queen , so we suspect that you know something” Philia

“ What did happen anyway”

“ So you really don’t know?” Philia

“ I did not, so what happen”

“ Pola was missing since last night, we decided to ignore it before because we thought she was on her training, but morning already came and she didn’t still came back” Philia

“ Don’t worry about her, she was stronger than any of you, I am sure that she was doing something, so she didn’t come back last night until this day”

“ Are you sure about this Gabriel?” Philia

“ I am very sure, don’t you trust me?”

“ Of course I trust you” Philia

“ Then can we eat for now? We will depart today, so we need to have our fill”

“ Okay” Philia

Philia just nodded and came back to her seat, after sitting on my own chair, Claudia came in and sat.

I glance at her when she felt my stare, she smiled at me.

The food was delicious today, is it because of what happen this last few day or the food was just delicious.

We started to eat our fill and chat to each other.

“ Gabriel, I wish you a safe trip” Claudia

“Thanks, Claudia, I wish you to be safe every time, don’t make me worried alright?”

My queen blushes, FUFU you still have a long way to go.

Surprisingly Philia doesn’t have the threatening gaze like before. I sigh of relief because of that.

Maken entered the room and walk in front of the queen.

“ Your majesty, the preparation on our mission has been prepared” Maken

“ Is that so” Claudia

“ Yes, your majesty” Maken

“ Our heroes and Gabriel, we may not be by your side, but expect that we will always pray your safety to any GODS who can help you. So you may have a safe journey” Claudia

“ Yeah, we too pray you a safe and healthy life, while we are gone Big sis Claudia” Philia

“ We will meet again Claudia, so don’t worry” Noa

The heroes started to say their temporary goodbye, I too did the same.

“ By the way, Did you see Claire?”

“ She should be here any minute, just wait for her and she will come” Claudia

“ Okay”

After some time Claire came.

She apologized for being late and explain the reason for her late arrival.

FUMU, she probably thinking my words yesterday, so she keeps pondering about it that she forget the passage of time, Well, I am not really sure, why is she embarrass now after doing that.

I sigh to myself because these guys were a bunch of kids.

“ Now then, shall we go?”

“ Yes!” Everyone

The queen was waving at us until our silhouette was gone, we ride our horses at the highest speed to reach the East Kingdom.

We suddenly stop because, in front of us, there is a person blocking our way, that person was...
