Life Becomes Duke's Beloved
Abela's Fretfulness

.

Armand smashed the chain that bound Abela with a single slash. And took Abela into his arms.

"I'm thirsty .." said Abela Lirih.

Armand opened the drinking establishment he was carrying under his clothes. And help Abela drink.

"What else do you feel? Is anyone sick?" ask Armand.

"I'm hungry .." replied Abela, making Armand laugh.

"You dare laugh at my pain?" abela's face was inversely proportional to her words. He revealed a relieved smile on Armand's chest. Before finally losing consciousness.

...----------------...

Abela woke up somewhere comfortable. It was definitely not a tent in the remote forest that they had come to hunt monsters. Abela groaned feeling her stomach ache and wrapped around.

"You're sober?" Abela heard Armand's voice ask.

"Armand ..." call Abela Lirih.

"Yes?"

"I'm hungry .." said Abela for the second time.

"I know, I'll help you eat." Armand made Abela sit leaning on the bed. He scoops the soup and starts feeding Abela.

"Where are we?" abela asked could not help her curiosity.

"The palace, Duke of Estonia made us transport."

"And you left your army there?" Abela chewed on the contents of her soup that felt bland.

"There are enough competent people who can be relied upon in that entourage. The most important thing is that you messed up our expedition Abela."

"Isn't the right word the most important thing you survived?" Abela raised her eyebrows not believing the first thing she would hear was Armand's scolding.

"You should be more grateful for that. At least it makes you realize that following dangerous things doesn't benefit you at all. You're making other people fuss, you know that?"

"I'll stop eating if you don't stop nagging" Abela threatened with a sullen face.

"You should keep eating Abela ...." Armand forced his smile before bribing him again.

"Thus ... Who do you think possessed the witch's body?" Abela can't stop now.

"I don't know, didn't you talk to him?" ask Armand.

"She said she'd better get into my body by making me die of hunger and thirst. After that he left the rotting corpse lying on the floor with me."

"He wants to possess you?" Armand assured his hearing.

"Yes he said get closer to you ... Hm ... His enemy, makes it easy for him to finish you off one by one. That kind of." Abela told Armand what she heard.

"That's more important than that ... Why don't you destroy the witch's body, Armand?"

"At that time, the Duke of Estonia asked for the body of the witch to be properly buried" Armand replied calmly.

"The child's perfection is big enough against something he hasn't known in his entire life."

"That's inevitable. It's his ancestor anyway." Armand was still diligently feeding Abela the soup.

"Fixed, he let the precious body be stolen. If he can't keep it, destroying it is more appropriate" Abela's comment made sense.

"I also brought a big cat that brought me to you, considering it was a witch's cat. It feels weird that he seems to insist on being close to you." Armand pointed at the normal-sized black cat next to the door.

"Mossi ..." call Abela cheerful. Make the cat run into his lap.

"Regardless of a coward possessing the witch's corpse. Abela you owe me an explanation. You said you'd tell me something if I took you to the expedition this time."

Armand's words left Abela speechless for quite a while. Can he tell Armand everything now? Is this the right time. Abela knew why she was back. Destroying his body was the answer. If he could do it wouldn't Abela's soul be able to return.

But the words of the figure suddenly sounded again. 'I can only get the memories of the body I possess if that person has died.'

The figure realized the witch Ghotel was still alive somewhere. And Abela realized that the real Abela was dead. Did Abela die before she possessed Abela's body? Or after he got into it. No. gabe. He cannot possess the body of a person who is not dead. There is no magic like that. Why could he be fooled by that God.

Abela looked at Armand and stopped opening her mouth as Armand bribed her again. Armand's hand hung in the air awkwardly. There was a lot that the man thought about. I don't know why he felt such a bad feeling. Especially after seeing and hearing what happened to Abela yesterday.

"Open your mouth and eat your food again" said Armand softly.

"Armand ... I'm ...." Abela avoided Armand's gaze.

"At least you should be healthy before you go home. Orlando will get a long vacation from the academy. I'll feel guilty if you meet when you're not okay."

"I'm ready to say everything ...." Abela said slowly.

Armand closed his lips, he didn't know right now whether he wanted to listen or not. What he'll hear from Abela. Armand gulped nervously. He didn't want to hear it, he wasn't ready.

Armand smiled smirkily, his hand clasping Abela's hand slightly tight. Enough to make Abela grimace.

"I'm not ready for Abela."

Abela was silent looking at the sad face of the great man. Behind his huge body and the face of his feet, there must be a weakness that the man covered. Abela felt sympathy. In the end, he said nothing more.

Abela looked at Armand's gaze that was focused on their hands clasping each other. Abela doesn't know what's interesting about it. But he also stared there in silence.

What broke their silence was only the sound of rumbling coming from Abela's stomach. They looked at each other again and laughed.

"I think I need a lot of food." Abela tried not to laugh too hard.

"I gave you soup so that your stomach would not be shocked when receiving heavy meals. But I think we can try to fill it up first. If it hurts, tell me. I'll call the doctor as soon as possible" Armand said at length before standing up from his seat to ask for more food and water.

"I want to eat sweet, too. I don't know why the soup was tasteless" commented Abela.

"Allah ... Anything else you want?" ask Armand again.

"Just give me plenty of food" Abela replied.

"Alright, you'll have to wait a minute madam. They'll prepare it. What about this soup? You want to eat it again?"

"Of course I'll spend it all." Abela did not stop smiling. "You can give me the bowl. I'll spend it."

"No ... I will still feed you," Armand said in an indisputable tone.

"I just don't want to bother you." Abela pouted slightly in response to Armand's words.

"Omong empty ... You've been troubling me quite a lot lately."

Armand's words made Abela laugh again. He stared at Armand's gentle face as he thrust a spoon in front of his mouth. How long will Abela see this face? Would everything change if he said everything?

"Armand ...." Abela doesn't know until when she's going to stick with the lies she just realized make her uncomfortable. Since when, Armand and the others affected him like this. He forgot his desire to die.

"Later ..." replied Armand. "I'll ask you again if I'm ready to hear it."
