The night has come. In Lucien's room, he took off his clothes and wore a cloak, . He walked out onto the balcony terrace, stepped on the edge, and then plopped down.

It turned out that he had sneaked into Ryan's room through the terrace. Watched him fall asleep. He knelt on his right leg so he could get closer to look at him. Lucien touched his left cheek and brushed the hair between his fingers.

Ryan suddenly opened his eyes slightly and vaguely saw a figure. Then he opened his eyes so he could see more clearly. At that moment, Lucien left the room. Ryan felt the wind due to his movement. Ryan didn't pay much attention, thinking that he was hallucinating. Just before going to sleep again, Ryan saw the open terrace door.

"Did I forget to close the door?" I walked forward intending to close the door, but before that, I saw a sky sprinkled with stars. "Ah. It's beautiful. For some reason, I like to look up at the starry sky and seem to miss something." I muttered to myself.

Lucien was still around there and hearing Ryan's words. He hides under the balcony. After Ryan closed the door and went to sleep, Lucien flew up, walking in the air and feeling relieved.

The next night, Lucien came back to infiltrate Ryan's room. He bent down. His long hair seemed to tickle on the cheek of sleeping Ryan and when Lucien touched his cheek, Ryan quickly grabbed Lucien's hand.

"I got caught." Lucien thought.

I opened my eyes and got up. He used his left hand to release my grip. I took it off and said, "Don't go. I know you won't hurt me."

He turned around and showed me his look. . His charming appearance the second time I saw him.

"Who are you? Why did you sneak in here?"

Without further ado, he said, "Sorry. I assume you are the reincarnation of a goddess."

"Goddess?"

"That is an angel in heaven," he continued.

It's hard to understand but I try to pay attention to what he's saying.

"Perhaps you don't believe this At that time, there was a goddess who saved me while I was fighting with other gods. In the middle of the fight, she intended to stop us. As a result, she was injured while trying to protect me."

"Are you fighting for her?"

"Not only that. Before we became asuras, we didn't like the lives of superior gods. We are jealous, so we invite them to battle and determine who is stronger. But in the end, we were defeated and settled at the foot of the earth in the ocean. I don't know how the life of that goddess, but her image flashed back in my mind after so long when I saw you."

I also understood after hearing the story and then I said,

He also looked surprised as if enlightened.

Lucien said with a slightly gloomy face, but he hid it by trying to be strong.

"The feelings of longing and love that are intertwined, but can't be with her, I understand your feelings. But if you continue to hold on to these feelings, you will suffer. What has passed, let it pass. And start a new story of your life. If you and she are soul mates, you can meet again. I hope you will be happy."

He smiled in relief. "Thank you for your advice. It's true what you say. But the image of her still seems to be in you. That's what makes me recall the past. Sorry. I seem to have talked a lot."

"Wait."

"What's up?"

"If you feel bad, you can come back."

"What do you mean?"

He walked over to me who was sitting. Then he threw me on the bed. We looked at each other and because I was embarrassed, I turned my eyes down to the left and he whispered into my right ear.

"Be careful with me." He said seductively.

I also felt nervous and surprised. Did he want to act rude like the first time we met?

After a while, he started laughing.

"Eh?" Confusion welled up over me.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything weird to you."

I woke up and got feeling a little irritated. "How can I calm down if I was told like that?" But I smiled when I see he could laugh out loud.

That's how Ryan met Lucien. Even though Ryan didn't know that the man in front of him was Lucien. Then, Lucien came out of Ryan's room and flew, dancing in the sky, "I haven't been this happy in a long time. Should I tell him that I am Lucien?"

Ryan also smiled seeing him flying with his beautiful wings.

******

I tied my hair up and left long bangs to the right. Be confident when wearing a costume like a knight. While I was excited to get ready to practice with Lucien, I was told that he wasn't there. Finally, I headed to the front yard to practice alone.

I love martial arts like this. In the middle of training, Leona appeared in front of me. I was silent and wary of how she treated me before.

She calmly greeted, "Hi, forgive my previous actions."

I was surprised by her words. "What? Did she just say sorry?" I was amazed in my mind.

She came closer and touched the wooden stick which I was holding and gently lowered it. Then she walked beside me while saying close to my ear, "Lucien is going to a meeting. And if our lord finds out that he brought humans to live together, it will be a problem for Lucien. Therefore, do you think you want to live with us forever? So, you should already know what to do after this." After saying that, she disappeared.

I know my position. I must go back to my previous life.

On the other hand, Lucien was in Tyrone's territory in the devil woods. With a dense aura of darkness, the lord sat on his throne.

"What's calling me?" Lucien asked.

"Have you found the foretold lady?"

"Until now I haven't found her. What will happen if we find the lady?"

"Killed her! That lady is a threat that will destroy us."

"Can't we stop this?!"

" Oh... What's wrong with you? Why are you being so gentle now?"

"Nothing. In the beginning, I don't like war."

When Lucien stood up and was about to leave. Tyrone said, "I heard there's a human at your place."

Lucien was shocked and answered. "Don't touch him. If you hurt him, I'll kill you." With a sharp look at Tyrone. Then, Lucien left the place.

"Lucien, you are really interesting," said the lord whose face was hidden in the darkness.

"Leander, keep an eye on him."

"Very well, Your Majesty."

The aura of Lord Tyrone enveloped his realm. He is a dangerous figure.

In the twilight, in the room, I thought about Leona's words. The thoughts and feelings that were raging made me unable to calm down. Then, I took the sword and practiced diverting my feelings. But while practicing, I thought, "What should I decide?"

"It's true what Leona said, I can't stay here because I have a human life. But if I say goodbye to him, will he allow me or will he restrain me? I'd better go quietly. But somehow, I feel sad. I realized that after this I'll be alone again. It's fine for me to stay here, but I don't want to give him trouble."

Ryan also remembers all the things that happened while he was here, together with Lucien as well as with a winged creature that he doesn't know whose name is actually none other than Lucien.

"Maybe I won't be able to see him again after this. Was my decision selfish?"

I also looked for Lucien that night and headed to his room. The door was slightly ajar, and I saw him looking out at the moon. But I couldn't see his face because he had his back to me. I knocked on the door and said, "Excuse me."

Noticing my voice, he picked up the mask on the table and stood looking at me. I saw him in an all-black costume, it looked like he had just bathed. Because his scents are good.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I haven't seen you all day, so I wanted to see you. Hmmm... Just to see how you are. He-he... Looks like you are thinking about something. Did something happen?" I saw the worry in his eyes.

He looked into my eyes and asked, "What is the meaning of life?"

" I stated this was at once an implied message that I would leave him.

He also seemed impressed by what I said, and he replied, "I was ordered to find the lady in the prophecy and kill her."

I was surprised to hear that. "Do you agree?"

"I don't agree with him.

I was mesmerized by his words. And I said, "It's true what I say before. You have a good heart."

He was shocked and replied, "Good heart you say? But my appearance like this does not reflect a good heart. People are afraid and do not believe us."

"They are afraid because they don't know. Including your clan. When we feel unloved, we feel lonely. Uhm sorry, I became to say a lot."

"It's okay. You're the unique human I've ever met."

"Thank you, Lucien. I'm grateful to be friends with you."

In Lucien's mind, "I want to take off this mask and hug you, but I'm afraid you'll run away from me. If I know you're avoiding, it will hurt me."

"I'm happy to be your friend too." He said while looking to the side. Maybe he's shy.

"Hmmm okay, I want to rest first. Bye." I left him and the feeling of sadness welled up in me.

The next morning before dawn, I went out of the castle. Goodbye Lucien...

The fear and sadness are unspeakable. I tried to strengthen my steps even though my feet felt weak. I walked the path.

At Lucien's castle. "Sir... sir...," said the maid.

"What's going on in this early morning?"

"Ryan has left!"

"What?!!"

"He left this written message." explained the maid as she handed it over.

"Lucien maybe when you read this message, I have already left. Thank you for your help so far. I will not forget your kindness and will try to repay your favor someday."

"Lies!!! You're lying. Didn't you say you liked being friends with me and didn't look at the outward appearance? But why? Why did you leave me?" Lucien couldn't hold back his emotions and then flew with his wings to search for Ryan.

"You are a friend to me when I have lived in solitude for so long. But with my condition like this, I am a burden to you. I am afraid that I will only give you trouble, Lucien. Besides that, I also must live my life as a human. Hopefully, one day we can meet again. I'm sorry, Lucien." Message from Ryan.

Lucien also flew up to a cliff and shouted, " Arrrgh!!!! Ryan!!!" Unknowingly, he had tears in his eyes.

I passed through the meadow and turned back to look at the sight one more time. Then I entered the forest again, planning to return to my village. I continued my journey and asked the local villagers about direction.

The day is getting hotter. It's noon time. I decided to rest for a while under a shady tree. When I was going to a tree, I heard someone's voice. Out of curiosity, I followed where the voice came from. What are they doing here?" I thought.

One side only, I can't run away. What about two? And then a male voice followed, "What are you doing here?"
