Chapter 21 - Races

- Dragon City, East street –

After the commotion caused by Lyle settled down. The noises around the city returned and became bustling again.

In a small restaurant near the city plaza, Lyle and Sasha decided to rest there. Lyle was holding the swords he bought while listening to Sasha. Actually, Sasha was scolding him about what happened a little while ago.

“Lyle-sama, please think before you act. Do you know how scared I am when you throw that sword? Just what would happen if it hit you? If you want the sword, then we could just buy it. No need to do such a dangerous thing. *sob* if you want to do that, then please do that when I’m not around! *sob* I don’t think I can take it if something dangerous happen to you!

Do you understand, Lyle-sama?*sob* please don’t do that again! I don’t want to see you hurt! *sob*”

She started crying in the middle of it.

Lyle on the other hand, was listening while reflecting on his actions. He knows that what he did was dangerous but he was too excited that he forgot that Sasha, although is always wearing an emotionless face was in fact a very sensitive person especially if it has something to do with him.

And now he was facing the consequences of his reckless action. He was startled when Sasha was tearing up, but now that she was really crying in front of him he now don’t know what to do to calm her down. His mind is in a mess trying to find what to do in this situation.

“I promise! I promise, so please stop crying now! Please…”

“R-really?”

“Y-yeah, promise! So please stop crying now, okay?”

“U-uhn…”

Even though she nods she was still sobbing and looking down. Lyle felt something tearing down inside of him when he saw her. He racked his mind to think what he can do to ease her

“S-sasha, Men who are usually interested in marriage are usually married!”

Even though he was racking his mind very hard, he still didn’t thought of something so instead, he just say what pops out in his mind.

Sasha looked at him with a puzzle look. She has no idea what Lyle was saying.

“So?”

“So…. Etto…”

“Lyle-sama, if you thought that I can forgive you because of that I-just-don’t-understand trivia. Then you are wrong”

“Eh?... no I-it’s not that! I didn’t mean that…I…just”

Seeing Lyle stammering with a lost look in his face, she began laughing. Actually, Sasha understood what Lyle was trying to do, he just don’t know how to express it. But even though she understands it, she just wants tease him as a payback for what he did a while ago.

Although Sasha was crying, inside of her was in fact felt very proud of his prince. Even though Lyle was a child and was only five years old, he was a very bright and smart child. If the word ‘Genius’ exist then that word is no doubt made for him, she thought. He can speak in just a year after he was born. When he was two he can already read and although he always speak words she can’t understand, he was also smarter than any other boy in his age.

And just recently Lyle gave her a shock of her life when he fought with the captain of the knights, Gil. He showed her that he’s not just any ordinary boy; he was far different from them. She was amazed almost to the point that she would worship him. But this is acceptable, his achievements so far made her awestruck and dumbfounded at the same time.

For her or maybe for people in the world of Montania, Lyle’s achievements can only be said as miracles.

As his personal Attendant, who would not felt proud and happy?

Years passed by, Sasha didn’t notice that her affection towards him deepens; only recently, after the fight, she understands her emotions.

And now seeing that scene a while ago, her emotions burst out. She couldn’t hide her worries anymore. But even so, she didn’t dare confess to him her true feelings towards him, because for her, Lyle is very far from her reach. Her little genius prince even though was always with her and so close to her, was standing so far from her that even if she extends her both arms, she wouldn’t reach it; just like heaven and earth. She was contented having him beside her all the time.

Looking at her little prince, she couldn’t stop herself but giggle.

“So what books did you bought in that merchant?” she asks while smiling.

After they left the stall where they bought the swords, they passed by a merchant selling books. He immediately went there and looks at the books he was selling. Two books caught his attention and immediately bought them.

Lyle took out one of the books beside him.

“hm? Ah yeah, one is a book about a certain monster called while this one was a book about races.”

“Book about races?”

“Yeah! I bought it because it describes the features and characteristics of each races. Like
