Goodbye Night

Clarice suddenly pulls Emune and Clemence pushes Thomas. Clarice checked Emune's arm.

“You all right?” ask Clarice.

“No, just scratched I guess,” replied Emune.

Thomas belittled. He almost fell pushed down by Clemence. “What the fuck? How dare it bother me.”

Thomas went forward to grab Emune's arm but the twins blocked him. Clarice and Clemence then took turns slapping Thomas' cheek. Thomas was shocked and angry. Usually Clarice and Clemence always bother Emune, why are they defending her now?

“Kalian .…”

“I don't like Emune either because Mom and Dad love her so much but I don't like you spying on her like that.” Clarice stroked Thomas' speech while straddling.

“If something happens to Mom and Dad, not necessarily I can be as strong as Emune. Are you sure you can keep me and Clarice in place of our parents?” Clemence ruffled waist.

Thomas took a step back. His brothers' fight was like an arrow that hit his heart. Their words were correct, he realized that he had gone too far on Emune. He looked down, ashamed of himself and the three girls he was supposed to protect.

“I'm sorry,” Thomas said.

Emune's approaching. He hugged Clarice and Clemence alternately. “You guys are so good. Thank you,” he said sincerely. “Thomas, it's okay. I'm sure you'll be a great guy who will take good care of these beautiful girls.” Emune smiled at Thomas.

The four stared at each other in turns.

“Oh, come. It's the night of the Ulrych celebration. There must be no crying or revenge. Let's have some fun. Thomas, I think Patricia is waiting for you there. I'll accompany Clarice and Clemence.” Emune blinked at Thomas.

Thomas was timid, scratching his head and saying his thanks before darting to where Patricia was waiting for him.

“Emune, if you want to cancel your plans to Alder, we promise you it will be good.” Clarice touched Emune's shoulder.

“Yes, stay with us. All will be better,” Clemence promised.

“You know, tonight is an amazingly beautiful night. You guys are great. I have to go but I want you to promise to be better to your parents. You should be grateful to have them. Ah, let me hug you once more. Really, it's been a long time I've wanted to hug you guys like this.” Emune was deeply moved. All the mischief of the three brothers soon disappeared from his heart.

“You are funny and very kind, Emune,” Clarice said.

“Yes, Clarice is right,” Clemence said.

“Ah you guys. Come on, I'll introduce you to my two young friends. They are handsome, kind and good at dancing.” Emune pulled the two twin girls into the arena.

Emune is thrilled to introduce Clarice and Clemence to Alan and Aron. Alan and Aron are from the village next door and they are also twins. The two had already come to the Ulrych Celebration three times and were familiar with Emune who helped them return to the square after getting lost at the edge of the forest.

Clarice and Clemence seemed to be enjoying their dance. It was the first time they danced for more than five minutes. The dance party is getting better. Everyone has fun.

Emune walked slowly among the visitors. Mr. Dale, Mr. Bishops and Mr. Grant are unwilling to leave Mogrum, a drinking house that provides a variety of free drinks during the festivities. Mr. Duarn, the owner of the Mogrum, was sitting casually on a wooden bench. He was looking after the drunkards so as not to disturb the celebration.

“Drink on,” murmured Mr. Dale. He staggered while hugging a bottle of third-rate wine.

“MINum ... drink .. party ...” Mr. Grant said.

“Where is your partner, Emune? Dance as much as you are young.” Mr. Bishops teases the passing Emune without a partner. “Those foolish young men missed the prettiest girl in Ulrych!” His calls made people look.

Emune's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment. He quickly ran away before things became even more chaotic. Emune stopped near the bakery.

It was fortunate that Mr. Duarn was standing guard there so they did not follow him. Emune tidied her hair. It's a nightmare! Instead of dancing with the kindly handsome young man, I ran around avoiding the cry of the drunkards.

Someone walked closer. The golden-haired handsome young man, slightly longer than most of the young men's hair in Ulrych, passed by the girls in pretty dresses with a low chest line. Emune never wanted to wear such a dress because it was uncomfortable to move.

The young man was wearing a white shirt, a vest and dark blue pants. Like a magnet, everyone who passed by him immediately turned his head and followed the direction of his departure. As the young man stopped before him, Emune shifted to the right. He was sure that there was a girl as beautiful as the king's daughter standing behind him.

“Can I take you dancing?” ask the handsome young man.

Emune's heart stopped as the young man reached out to him, not someone he thought was behind him. He turned his head slightly and looked at the wall of the bakery made of wood. There might be someone behind it. Ah, silly, thought Emune. The young man did take her and was still waiting for Emune's answer.

Emune slightly bowed then extended her hand. His hands were tightly clasped and he was taken walking towards the circle of fountains where singles were dancing. All the girls looked envious of him. Yes, this young man is very handsome! Mineda and Daniela were dumbstruck and smiled happily at Emune and his dance partner.

“Am I good at dancing?” ask the young man.

“Yes, you are clever,” replied Emune.

“Ba-how do you know my name?”

“I just happened to be near Mugrom. They say you're the prettiest girl in Ulrych,” whispered Elric in Emune's ear.

Emune felt not only her ears but her entire face flushed red. He reflexively tried to escape from Elric's hands which blocked his movement. Elric pulled Emune's hand until their bodies were completely attached. Emune feels tight. He was never this close to any young man.

“I think I'd better go. Rest and ...” Emune regulated her breathing.

Elric smiling. He dances with the right people. A sweet girl who has never been seduced by any man. Beautiful but no dancing partner, hmmm what's wrong? Elric whispered again to Emune, “It's over. Don't be afraid, I don't bite.”

Emune goosebumps hearing the sound and breath of Elric who was so close. He's 17 but he's very inexperienced at this. Ah, I just want to disappear.

Hugs on Emune's waist loosened. Elric no longer hugged her. The young man clasped his hand gently.

“Thank you for the dance,” said Elric. He kissed Emune's back. As the awakening of the magical influence, Emune immediately bowed slightly as an extravagance to his dance partner.

Hurrah! I'm free, Emune thought. It's not that he doesn't like this young man but Emune feels like he's melting if he's nearby. Do I just go home and get ready for tomorrow morning? He would dance with another girl. It's easy to forget a girl like me.

The dance music has stopped. A singer chants a love song with great emotion. Emune sees her friends dancing with each other. For them the night must still be very long, Emune thought.

“I'm hungry, can you show me where the food booth is?”

“What?” Emune riled. Elric was still nearby.

“Food. Bread, cheese, fruit? A little fresh drink maybe?” ask Elric

Emune limp. It turns out it's not over. Although upset, his ego as a resident of Ulrych has forced him to make friends with Elric.

“Could I take you,” the answer is short.

After taking a large piece of bread, a few slices of bacon and two glasses of honey water, Elric asked to be shown a quiet place to eat. Again the kind-hearted Emune took this Ulrych guest to the far end of the square. Actually this is one of Emune's favorite places because it is quiet, shady and cool during the day.

Just now Elric was about to sit on the bench, both of them heard the voice***** and moan. Emune had thought it was a cat but after a groan turned into a female scream, Elric jumped up next to Emune. The bushes behind the benches were scattered, the disheveled faces and hair of Mrs Bretien while Mr. Bretien was busy pulling bushes to cover their naked bodies.

Emune closed her eyes with both hands. Elric quickly put all the food and drink he had brought on the bench.

“Once us. Please continue. Oh, the food is for you,” said Elric.

Elric pulled Emune who was still closing her eyes. He did not want to know what happened to the couple. While cursing in his heart he continued to hold Emune's hand and took her to the food booth to take a substitute for food and drinks that he left behind.

“You can open your eyes, Emune,” he said amusedly. This girl is funny, he thought.

Emune just believed in Elric's words. He opened his eyes. He breathed a sigh of relief as he was already far away from that bench. Geez, Bretien's husband and wife almost took my heart out!

“Drink, you must be surprised.”

Emune looked at Elric who was smiling amusedly at her and tried hard not to laugh because of Emune's innocence. Emune pouted but did not reject the glass that Elric gave her. He sipped a glass of honey until it ran out.

“Ahhh .. fresh!” it was unconsciously. Damn, this is the second time he was made to exercise by Mrs Bretien.

Elric and Emune looked at. Smiles spread across the faces of the two and they laughed. Emune forgot his wish to get away from this young man. He feels more relaxed now. Finally they decided to sit down and eat a drink near the bakery.

While busy talking, Elric's friend approached and invited Elric to go home. Elric nodded and told his friend to wait for a while.

“You must go home,” Emune said. To be honest, he was a little sad.

“Yes. I gotta go. I'll look for you. I promise,” said Elric.

“A-us .…”

Emune wants to tell Elric that tomorrow he will leave Ulrych but is stopped because Elric's arms are already coiled around his waist and back. Emune's eyes widened as the young man's lips touched his. Elric kissed her gently. Emune was bewitched by that short kiss.

“You're mine. I'll come get you. Don't let other men touch you, my dear,” whispered Elric.

Emune frozen. Not just because of the kiss. Elric whispers earlier sound like a man who is showing his claim to a woman.

“What?” Emune squealed loudly while Elric had already passed by with his friends. That was my first kiss!
