Tales Of Darkness And Light
Chapter 42's

Mire and Vin looked around him with a look of disbelief. In the dream, they did not expect that they would sit quietly while drinking tea in the living room of Hirrim Palace. With their profession as robbers, this place with the tightest protection was one of the places they should avoid. However, their encounter with the unexpected Rue left them now inside the palace that they should have avoided.

"That's why I sang and danced in this great celebration to thank Mirthy." Obviously Rue to Apple, Fedrick, Lara, Calix, Mire and Vin were happy, although Mire and Vin did not hear his explanation at all because they were still busy observing the surroundings.

"You are indeed a very unlucky girl and also very lucky, Rue." Calix Laughter. Who would have thought that Rue who was stranded in Aule Village would be saved Mirthy, Princess of Hirrim Kingdom.

"True, maybe it's because a fool lives longer." Lara added expressionlessly, although she was actually very relieved to see Rue was fine.

"Well! Don't call me stupid!" rue shouted annoyed upon hearing Lara's words.

"Already, Already. Thank goodness you're okay, Rue." Fedrick tried to calm down Rue who was yelling annoyed. But, a smile filled his handsome face, he felt very happy and also relieved to finally have found the girl.

Regis continued to observe Rue curiously. Is this the girl named Rue that Apple and the others were looking for?

"Your voice is loud, stupid," interrupted Apple who was sitting beside Rue suddenly. "You're gonna make me deaf if this keeps going on."

Rue turned his head to look at the annoyed Apple. Separated for so long, Apek's nature and attitude remained unchanged. "Apple! Don't call me stupid!!!"

"Not as long as you stay stupid." Apple replies no matter what.

"Apples!"

The apple poked softly on Rue's forehead. "Don't yell, stupid."

Regis continued to stare at the interaction of Apple and Rue who were still clashing their mouths. He had never seen an apple like this. The blood-red eyes that were staring at Rue were so gentle, and he could also clearly see the small smile that sometimes flashed across the face that was always flat without such an exception.

Regis then focused his gaze on Rue. She admitted, Rue is the prettiest woman she's ever seen. Green-eyed with golden-colored hair like her, but the rest, nothing special.

Rue who felt Regis's eyes turned to look at him "Who is this kid?" tanyanya's confused.

"That's Regis. He's the kid that Apple saved on the way looking for you" Calix explained and smiled. "Because she doesn't have any more family, Apple invited her to follow us."

"That's it, yeah. Hope we get along, Regis." Rue's friendly smile.

"It's none of your business, you idiot." Reply Regis coldly with an expressionless face.

Everyone there fell silent as soon as they heard Regis' words. Instantly, Rue turned back to stare at Apple. "Apple! What did you teach Regis?!!" he screams with anger. Regis' attitude just now was really a copy of Apples attitude.

Apple paid no attention to Rue's anger. Both of his eyes looked at the girl calmly. "I didn't teach Regis anything. He has eyes and can see for himself your folly, fool."

"Apple!!"

Regis is convinced now, said Apple is indeed right. Undoubtedly, Rue was really stupid. He was so innocent and innocent, the type to avoid as it would be troublesome. However, why did Apple so consider Rue important? Regis sure it wasn't for her beauty. Apples are not the type of person who considers a person's physical importance. Therefore, what was the reason that caused this foolish girl to be so important to him?

Suddenly the living room door opened and Mirthy walked in with a face full of nervousness.

"I'm sorry I interrupted you..."His words faltered as he approached them. She lowered her pretty face down as she did not dare to look at those in front.

"Mirthy!" Call Rue suddenly. Full of laughter, he ran towards Mirthy and hugged her tightly.

Mirthy was so shocked, her nervous face immediately changed with a face of flushed red in embarrassment.

"Mirthy, your prayers to meet again with 'She' will definitely be granted!!" rue smiled cheerfully while letting go of her embrace.

"Eh!?" mirthy was confused.

Rue ran back towards Apple and hugged the young man's right arm while looking at Mirthy. "Look! Lookie! I managed to meet with Apple. Therefore, you will definitely meet with 'She' again soon. The Goddess has granted my prayers, Mirthy."

Rue's words made Mirthy smile. Is it true that he can meet again with 'She'?—himself doesn't know. But, right now, as a friend, he just wanted to join in happily seeing the happiness of Rue who had met Apple. Meeting after separation is a blessing to be grateful for.

"I don't want to, Apple." Reply to Rue while sticking out her tongue. Laughing, he tightened the hug on the arm of the Apple.

Mirthy looked at Apple and Rue. Apple was a handsome young man with strange blood-red colored eyes. Just by looking at him alone, everything there would definitely instantly know that the young man was extremely cold, strong and dangerous. As for Rue, she was a very beautiful girl with a cheerful, innocent, innocent and warm personality. They are both so different and different. However, in Mirthy's eyes, they looked like a perfect couple.

Mirthy could see clearly, although Apple always replied to Rue's words cuckooly as if not caring about her, her blood-red eyes as she looked at the girl so gently. Smiling, he was certain, anyone could figure it out with just a single look; how much Rue meant to Apple.

"I'm so tired. Can you tell me where I can rest?" asked Lara suddenly startling Mirthy. He did not care to know the slightest bit of hesitation even though he was now dealing with one of the hosts in the Hirrim palace.

"I-iya will be on show soon," replied Mirthy nervously. Wasting her face, she did not dare to stare at the notoriously cold and unfriendly Lara. "S-everything, please follow me. I'll show you your room."

All who heard Mirthy's words immediately stood up as well as Mire and Vin who had been busy looking around them.

"No need, Princess. We're not gonna stay at the palace." Mire said quickly with a smile.

"Eh! Why?" asked Rue surprised.

"We both have to tell Vin, Peta and the others that you've been found. They must have been very worried and would have continued to do the search if no one had told them." It was clearly Vin with a big smile on his face.

"really. We are very worried about unwanted things happening if they continue to search, even though you have been found. That's why we plan to meet them soon." Add Mire while nodding her head.

"really? We've just met but we have to split up again soon." Rue said sadly as he looked at the two of them.

Mire and Vin who were staring at Rue's sad face felt a little guilty. The real reason the two of them did not want to stay at the palace palace was not because they were both worried about Peta, Van and the others, but rather, they did not want to risk harming themselves. What if their identity as robbers is discovered? They would definitely not be able to get out of this palace again alive.

"Oh," Lara's softly muttering voice suddenly sounded. "Don't you guys want hundreds of millions of pens from my family again?"

Mire and Vin immediately laughed out loud in nervousness. Scratching his non-itchy head, Vin smiled at Lara. "Come on, Princess Lara. You know we're just kidding." How could they still dare to think of a ransom at a time like this?

Lara didn't reply to Vin. With an expressionless face he closed his eyes and did not say anything more.

The atmosphere became awkward because really, everything in the room clearly knew the identity of Mire and Vin. But, even so, those who willingly helped Rue search without caring about anything were definitely not bad people.

"I wish the two of you could stay even longer." Rue's quiet voice rang out shattering the awkwardness of the room atmosphere.

Staring at Rue, Mire sighed and walked over to him. Smiling, he hugged the little girl that even fools could not hate. "Don't be sad, stupid. We'll definitely meet again."

"True Rue, we will definitely meet again." Agree Vin with a smile that still adorns his face.

Rue returned Mire's embrace and nodded his head. Holding back the tears that were already about to drip, she felt extremely sad. They were not together for long, but they were clearly his friends.

"See you later, stupid." Mire laughed as she let go of her embrace on Rue.

"Come, we go Mire." Bring Vin over quickly. They can't linger around here for long, until someone in this room changes their mind and reports on the true identities of himself and Mire.

Mire turned to look at the others "See you soon, everyone," and as she looked at Apple, she put on her best smile "See you again, Apple."

The apple did not give the slightest reaction. Silently, he seemed to hear nothing.

"That's it, let's go!" shaking his head looking at the sad face of not caring about Apple, Vin pulled the robber woman. Cursed is Mire's love for a handsome face. "See you all!"

"See you soon.." Reply Rue slowly and tried to force a smile on his face.

After Mire and Vin left, Mirthy immediately escorted them to their respective rooms. However, halfway through, he suddenly recalled something. Reversing his face looking at Apple timidly, he said softly. "Anu, m-sorry, I forgot to give you a message. My brother, King Hirrim wants to talk to you..."
