The next day, Raphael opens his eyes with some difficulty; the first thing he sees is Nathalie beside him also watching him
Raphael POV
Nathalie: "Good morning."
Raphael: "Good morning." My eyes naturally graced me with the sight of this beauty by my side.
Nathalie: "Um, so do you like what you see?" She asks me obviously noticing the movement of my eyes.
Raphael: "Of course, if I could I would spend the whole day just watching you."
Nathalie: "Hehehe, and why you cannot?" Question Nathalie with a sensual tone.
Raphael: "Because we have to decide what we will do from now on. Then tell me do you have somewhere to stay from now on, any relatives? After all, you cannot stay here alone. "I said with a serious tone
Nathalie: "No, my parents were the only family I had, I do not know much about the family of my mother because she ran away from home at an early age, since my father's family had died a long time, so now I'm alone.” Nathalie says with a bitter smile.
Raphael: (I've imagined, I'll have a lot of problems because of this, but after seeing her so sad, I can not do nothing)
Raphael: "No you're not alone, you have me now right? I can not just leave my girlfriend alone here in the middle of nowhere. "I speak with a smile on my face.
Nathalie: "Wait, you mean ..."
Raphael: "From now on you will live with me in my house, or by chance this idea does not please you?"
Nathalie: "I'd love to, but Raphael are you serious? This is not a joke right? "She talks with happiness plastered on her face.
Raphael: "Of course I'm serious, I do not joke about something like that"
Before I could react, I can only see Nathalia image jumping on top of me and hugging me so hard that could strangle me.
Nathalie: "* sniff * * sniff * Thanks Raphael thanks really. * Sniff * You know, to tell you the truth I was afraid you were going to leave me, that I was a girl of just one night for you. "She tells me while crying like a baby.
Raphael: "Hahaha do not worry I would never leave you, so you can stay calm, now tell me what you think want to take a look at your new home?"
Nestled in my arms she lifted her head in a gesture so cute it makes me want to attack her immediately.
Nathalie: ". Not now, first I want to spend time with you," she says blushing up to her ears.
These words appeared magical, they made me forget everything except the woman in front of me, so began the round 2.
After a few hours I helped Nathalie to collect her belongings and pack her things, gods how women take time on these things even though she has so little, if was me, I would have arranged everything in less than 10 minutes, but better keep my mouth shut.
After praying for her parents we started walking towards the village, after 2 hours of walking we reached the village gates, and it will be here that my problems will start. In the village gates is one of the guards I know, he's almost retiring after all he has almost reached in his 50s.
Guard: "Rafael who is she?" asks the guard with suspicion in his eyes.
Rafael: "Her name is Nathalie, she's accompanying me."
Guard: "I do not remember seeing a goddess like her pass through the gates actually do not remember even hearing about someone as beautiful as she lives in the village."
Rafael: "Of course not, she is not from the village, she lived on a farm a few kilometers around the village."
Guard: "WHAT, HOW SHE PASSED BY BARRIER ?" The cry of the guard was so high that it began to attract the attention of other residents.
Rafael: "Obvious following me, I told you she was accompanying me right?"
Guard: "RAFAEL HOW DARE YOU DO SUCH A THING, YOU FORGOT THE SACRED LAWS" The old guard gave me a sinister look, looking like he was going to attack me at any time.
Rafael: ". I remember very well the laws, but this woman comes with me, from now she will live with me" I can see that many people have gather around us, and all were surprised by my statement, I think no one expected me to do such a thing.
Guard: "YOU GOT MAD, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, THAT IS A CLEAR VIOLATION TO THE OLD LAWS YOU DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY PRA THAT DO, I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS VO GIRL PUT EVEN ONE STEP IN THE VILLAGE."
Rafael: "Old friend I will give you some advice, try to stop me and I'll end you, I believe you would be a futile effort stand in my way, now could you lower the tone, you're bothering the other residents."
Guard: ". This will not go your way Rafael, the chief is going to know about this." said the guard shaking with rage, he appear to be holding back to not attack me.
I just pass by him ignoring his commentary, I know very well that I have to face my father to solve this problem, as I enter the village and follow toward my house all the residents start to follow us seemingly they were interested to see what would happen, not that I care, while walking quietly through the village hand in hand with Nathalie, the crowd behind us grew.
Arriving in front of my house, there he was, my dear father, now with his white hair, but a very strong and athletic body, he doesn't appear to already be in his 55 years.
Rafael: (Now it's all or nothing, let's see what happens, but to be honest I'm a little anxious, as how my father will react.)
Father: "Rafael what is the meaning of this?"
Rafael: "What are you talking about father?" I say playing dumb.
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
Father: "Do not play dumb, I want to know what you intend to bringing this woman here? You know very well what the sacred laws say. "
Rafael: "Of course I know they are Protect the sacred sword until a new hero is chosen, help the hero in any way necessary and never under any circumstances reveal the existence of the village to the outside world."
Father: "Then why did you bring this girl here?"
Rafael: "To live with me, you know my last mission I met her, the whole family was dead, I could not just leave her alone right?"
Father: " I do not want to know get rid of her right now" I could see anger on my father's face
Nathalie hid behind me, she seemed to be shaking with fear, I held her hand to calm her
Rafael: "And what do you want me to do, get her out of the village?"
Father: "Now that she knows of the existence and location of the village, the only way to solve this is killing her" Spoke to my father with a cold stare as he gestured to the guards
About 50 guards surrounded us and drew their weapons, Nathalie now trembled incessantly, when I saw her eyes I could see how much she was terrified, she seemed to say "please help me" without thinking twice I drew my sword and pointed to my father.
Rafael: " If any of you try to hurt her, you will deeply regret" I said in a voice so cold that some of the guards took a few steps backwards
Father: "Rafael do not be stupid deliver the girl."
Rafael. "You want her, so you will have to go over my dead body" I said as I stared my father, my sword ready to cut anyone who approached.
Father: "No matter what you do this girl is not part of the village, she can not live here."
Rafael: "I understand, do you mean that if she turns part of the village, she can live here." When I said those words my father seems understand what I meant, but before he did something I turned to Nathalie.
Rafael: "Nathalie"
Nathalie: "Yes?"
Rafael:. "It may be a bit sudden but." I knelt down in front of her. "Nathalie you give me the honor of becoming my wife?"
Apparently everyone froze, well guess is not surprising after all it sort of thing came out of nowhere, but this is my only option, after a few seconds the crowd started a pandemonium, my father was shouting something but I ignored all that interested me now was her answer After a full minute to recover from the shock I could see her eyes fill with water.
Nathalie: "Rafael, are you sure we just met yesterday."
Rafael: "I've never been more sure of anything in my life than now."
Nathalie: "I * sniff * I'm very clumsy, * sniff * and also I can not cook very well."
Rafael: "It's okay, I'll help you get better with time
Nathalie: "I am * sniff * very jealous and possessive, I will not allow you to even sniff * * look at other women."
Rafael: "Do not worry, my life will belong to you until the day I die."
Nathalie: "Do you love me?"
Rafael: "Yes I love you, you .... will have to stay with me forever, even if you wanted to run away, I will not allow it.
Nathalie: "* Sniff * I * Sniff * I."
Before she could say anything else I sealed her lips with mine, I could see the surprise in her eyes but then she closed them and kissed me back I hugged her and stayed together in a long deep kiss after we parted I said.
Rafael: "Just answer me Nathalie yes or no?"
Nathalie: "YES. YES, A MILLION TIMES YES. "And with that she hugged me, seemed determined to never let me go.
With a victorious smile on my face I turned to my father and could see his face red with anger, his veins seemed to burst on his forehead.
Rafael: "Ok Dad problem solved, meet your new daughter in law, her name is Nathalie Reed."
Father: "HOW DARE YOU UNGRATEFUL KID, DO YOU HAVE NOTION OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE? HOW CAN YOU THROW AWAY EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE FOR YOU? IS THIS HOW YOU REPAY ME?"
These words seemed to break something inside my head.
Rafael: "HA .. haha ... HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH. ALL YOU DID FOR ME, REPAY YOU? YOU NEVER GAVE ME THE ESSENTIAL, THE LOVE OF A FATHER, YOU ALWAYS TREATED ME AS A TOOL SIMPLE TO SERVE FOR THE GOOD OF THE VILLAGE, TELL ME ONCE YOU ACTED THINKING ABOUT ME? DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN IS MY OR MIGUEL BIRTHDAY? DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT WAS THE FIRST WORDS OF US TWO? YOU EVER TOOK CARE OF US WHEN WE WERE SICK? DON'TGIVE ME THAT GEEZER, YOU DID NOT CARE A SHIT ABOUT US, WE JUST NEEDED TO REACH YOUR EXPECTATIONS. IF IT WERE NOT FOR MY FEELINGS OF DUTY TO PROTECT THIS VILLAGE I WOULD ALREADY FLED FROM HERE CENTURIES AGO. "
People around me got backed away from me, startled by my outburst, I could see that my father was the most surprised of them all. Holding the hand of Nathalie I bring her inside our house, while pass by my father I hear him whisper in my ear
Father: "Listen to me you little shit, from today you are no longer my son."
Rafael: "Fuck you."
Leaving all the commotion behind I go with my wife in our home after closing the door I fall exhausted in the chair, I look at Nathalie with a smile.
Rafael: "Finally free, therefore how about we start our married life my Love?"
While sitting in my lap she whispers in my ear.
Nathalie: "Can not wait dar-ling."
And so Rafael's family began.
