I'm planning to put kiel pov short but it end up longer than I thought, so I put it as chapter 10.5

So enjoy (^_^)/

Special thanks for Tivanenk (^_^)/

========================================

When they took Rune to be appraised, I gripped her hand firmly. Realising my worry, she said to me.

"It's okay. I will be fine. If something ever happens, I will surely run away. We beast people have good agility, you know."(Rune)

I knew that she was lying because she was surrounded by the black mist. I hate liars - I hate them so much. But Rune lied for me, because she didn't want to make me worried. This is the first time someone lied for my sake. I hate liars, but I didn't hate Rune's lie.

That's why I made an [Evig Contract] with her. I already planned to make this contract with her to track her down in case she tried to run away from me, but because of sudden circumstance, I created the contract without any preparation.

[Evig Contract]A contract made by exchanging vows through blood with demon tribe. With a little bit of mana usage, both contractors can exchange words from long distance and are able to detect each other's location.

Partner : Rune

Without the preparation, the contract would turn into a curse for the demon contractor.

[Evig Curse]Because of a lack of preparation procedure, this contract will bound you. The pain of your partner is your pain, and when your partner dies, you will die with the same death. This curse can't be lifted.

Partner : Rune

This is the reason why demons don't make [Evig Contract] anymore. When you fail, you die. When your preparation is lacking, you will be cursed.

I don't mind having the curse if it bounds me with Rune forever. If she dies, then I die. To die together, nothing would make me happier than that.

As my magical bracelet was deactivated, I could feel my mana flowing in my body and my regeneration getting faster. It wouldn't be long until I fully recover.

I could feel someone is choking Rune as I got choked myself.

Who? Who dares to hurt her? I won't forgive them.

After I make sure Rune's condition is fine, I blow up the steel door. I want to go and get Rune back, but those people stand in my way, trying to fight back. So annoying... that I blow them up. Allan's face goes pale when he sees me blowing everything up but I pretend not to see him. I walk to finish every hindrance in my way.

"Who is it? The person who choked my Rune?"(Kiel)

I asked every person I passed before I blew them up. After I killed and crushed few of them, someone answered my question.

"B-boss, boss is the one who choke that beast girl"(slave trader)

So after I finish cleaning every hindrance in my way, I walk toward their boss's room. The moment I open the door, some of those lowlifes delivered a surprise attack. Are they joking? This kind of attack won't hurt me. Compared to those wyverns I hunted, their attack is like a rain drop to me.

It won't take long before I crush every single of them. The person who keeps giving order and stand far behind the others must be the boss they're talking about. I will make sure he suffers. I torture him in the same way they tortured me. But then, Rune becomes angry at me. I don't understand why she's angry.

"I know that they do bad things to you and I hate them for that. But you are not alone anymore. You have me and maybe Allan....and I dislike you for doing something like this."(Rune)

Rune dislike me? Does that mean she hate me?

My hands grow cold and my body is shaking. I could feel my eyes going teary suddenly. I don't understand why, but the thought of Rune hating me is frightening. I don't want her to hate me. Should I freeze her now? T-that way she won't say she hates me, and she won't angry with me...

Then, she explain to me that I act like savage by destroying my surrounding. I could hurt those around me and myself. I don't mind getting hurt, so I don't understand.

She suddenly takes my hand... her hands are very soft and warm.

"Kiel, do you hate me?"(Rune)

She asked in gentle voice.

"..........no"(Kiel)

"If I were hurt, would you hate it?"(Rune)

"!?....I.....I-...."(Kiel)

'If Rune hurt', thinking about it sent an unpleasant feeling to me and I hate that feeling. I will freeze her if she runs away from me, but as long she stay by me, I want to protect her.

"Yes, I would hate it. If I can, I don't want to hurt you"(Kiel)

"But you destroyed this building and I could get hurt because of that. Look at those holes you made. I could accidentally fall and die."(Rune)

"!?"(Kiel)

As long Rune choose to stay with me, I will protect her. Yet, I almost kill her because of my actions. Now I understand why I can't go rampage as I please. But, does Rune still hate me? If I'm not fighting, will she stay with me? Will she stay with me forever?

"Then, you will stay with me if I ask your permission to fight, right?"(Kiel)

"Um.... you do not exactly need permission from me or anything, but yes, something like that."(Rune)

"You'll be with me?"(Kiel)

"Ah, yeah, I will be with you."(Rune)

"Forever?"(Kiel)

"...yes?"(Rune)

There are no lies in every word. She will stay with me forever. I could feel a weight lift from my chest. I'm unspeakably happy.

"Then, I won't act like this anymore"(Kiel)

I said as I hug her. If I'm with Rune, I will always be happy. Rune is adorable. Even her angry face is adorable, but I like her smile the most.

That night, I'm carrying her while flying along with other bird like people, they're Allan's friends and since Rune trusts Allan, then I will trust him too. On our way, Rune keeps hiding her face behind her hands. I could see her cheeks dyed in red. Is she embarrassed? Rune is just as cute as always.

Rune will forever be with me and when she dies, I will die with her. Just thinking about it makes me smile.
