The Dragon'S Blue Gem
Chapter 13 [First City ]
On the way, Aqua could not stop thinking about Yue.
"You think however, this kid is really suspicious."
"Aqua?"
Yue waved his hand in front of Aqua's eyes for her to be aware of her daydream.
"Hmm? Why?"
Aqua answered kindly. Although Aqua was suspicious of Yue, she did not feel that Yue was evil.
Yue puffed his cheeks.
"From that Aqua was weird."
"What is it?"
"Yes!!! Is there something?"
"...."
Aqua did not know what to answer. He really wanted to ask Yue about his identity, but Aqua felt that Yue would not be happy with the conversation.
"... Yue. Can I ask you something?"
"Sure! Aqua is Aqua!"
The wide smile painted on Yue's face pierced Aqua's conscience.
"That's. I've asked you before. But why are you here? This continent is far from the demon continent, right?"
Yue was speechless, he frowned and closed his eyes to think hard. That cute expression looked confused.
"Yue don't know!"
Yue said after much thought.
"?!"
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"Anone.. once Yue opened his eyes, Yue was already in a dark and cold cave. There was no one else but Yue. As soon as Yue came out, somehow people attacked Yue. They called Yue different from them and Yue was evil."
Yue's gaze looked sad. To be honest, he did not want to remember the incident. But since the one who asked was Aqua, Yue tried to tell her about it and hoped Aqua would believe her.
"When Yue did nothing and hurt anyone. Yue was being chased and living on the run before meeting Aqua."
"Yes…"
Aqua felt guilty for scraping through Yue's bad memories.
"sorry. Sorry for making you remember it" Aqua regretted.
"No problem. After all Yue was happy after being with Aqua!"
Yue hugged Aqua's arm and smiled warmly at her. The white face was adorned with a red hue that was able to make anyone not strong to see it.
"/////"
"Ekhm!! Then...does Yue not remember anything before Yue was in the cave?"
"Yue just remember that Yue is Yue!"
"He only remembers his name? Was it in the cave.. was he sealed or something? Then it's likely that Yue is a pretty strong past demon."
"Well, whatever it is, Yue Yang is now harmless. I've already taken Yue, so I should be in charge of looking after her," Aqua muttered softly.
"Hmm?! Guarding Yue?"
Yue heard Aqua's slight mutter. He asked that in an innocent tone with no special intent.
"Does that mean Aqua will always be next to Yue?" ask the boy plainly.
".... Sure do. In that case, I will consider Yue as my own sister. A sister will definitely take care of her sister, right?" answer Aqua warmly.
"Sister.. Umm!!! Yue wants to be Aqua's sister! That means we're family, right?"
"Yes. Yue is my precious family."
Aqua had no idea that the statement would become her restraint rope in the future. His relationship with Yue would make him feel a more troublesome destiny than engaging with his game head-on.
"This is the first time.Yue felt a warm feeling like this."
Right now, Aqua had officially become everything to Yue. His helper, his best friend, his family and his first love.
Aqua herself was also happy just because she had a new sister.
"It seems like my soul to my feet is still there, haha. Ah, but I'm not a lolicon okay."
The brothers' warm journey continues until they discover a sizable city. Many horse carriages were lined up neatly in front of the gate trying to get inside. The guards guarding the border seemed to be watching quite closely as well.
"Yue's hair color was too conspicuous. We'll be the center of attention when we get in."
"Yue... Can I change the color of your hair to be like me?" ask Aqua.
"Like Aqua? Yue will!!!"
Yue's reply sounded excited. Aqua was grateful that Yue did not mind her hair color.
"It's not my real hair color either. Like Yue, mine is quite striking. That's why I changed it."
Aqua didn't feel the need to keep it a secret from Yue, so she said it.
"Didn't you? What's Aqua's original color?"
Aqua smiled, she placed her index finger in her mouth.
"Later Yue will know. Not now."
Yue waved his lips, he sulked because Aqua was playing secrets from him. Aqua laughed at the childish behavior of the little girl.
Aqua put her hand over Yue's head. Before long, Yue's black hair color turned brown exactly like Aqua's.
"Yue. If asked, just say we are brothers from a small village. Don't say things that make us suspect, especially about your real race. The rest leave it to me, okay?"
"Good!"
Aqua stroked Yue's head. Aqua's head elusan was the thing that Yue liked the most.
"Hehe…"
They join hands and join in line with others. Some people managed to enter the city, but there were also people who were not allowed to enter for various reasons.
As soon as Aqua and Yue's turn came. The guard was puzzled that no adult was accompanying the two children. He crouched down equalizing Yue high and asked in a friendly manner.
"Little sister, where are your parents? Are you just the two of you?" ask the female guard as gently as possible.
Yue was hiding behind Aqua, despite being close to Aqua, Yue still did not believe in humans. The guard was a little hurt that he thought the children were afraid of him.
"It's okay, don't be afraid. I'm here," Aqua said to calm Yue down. Yue nodded, he clasped tightly onto Aqua's robe.
"Please forgive my sister. He is not used to other people," Aqua said politely as she placed her chest hand and lowered her head slightly. Aqua was once taught basic manners by Ashlan so that Aqua would not get into trouble with the nobles.
"No, no problem. So, brother, are you two alone?" the guard replied friendly.
"She was a child, but she was this polite. Is he a noble? No. It is impossible for nobility alone without an escort."
"I'm just an ordinary orphan from a small village. We were on our way to go to the place my teacher asked for. For that, we have to pass through this city" Aqua explained.
"A teacher who asks a child to travel alone is what kind of teacher? If I meet him later, I will scold him!!" annoyed that guard.
"Geez!!!!" there was a loud sneezing sound. "Is anyone talking about me?" ask Ashlan prank.
So, do you have an identification? If you have you can just go in, but otherwise you'll have to go through some procedures."
Aqua has an identification. Ashlan once made one for Aqua. But that mark is no ordinary sign. It was a magician identification mark made directly by the magic tower. There it says the level of one's magician, Aqua's got is high level.
"People would be excited to see a 13-year-old child as a high-level wizard. Never mind…"
