Chapter 98 – It’s Time To Eat The Candy (1)

“…Haha! Come on, don’t make such a joke.”

I had never thought about ending my life in a cell, would never have imagined myself dying in a place like this.

It’s too… lonely.

Especially if you were to die in this cell, and none would be any wiser if you did. This is not a place I would choose to die in, nor do I wish such fate to anyone.

“Let me hold this thing.” I tapped the torch in his hands. The torch’s light was blazing wildly and majestically swerved as Ricdorian moved.

“If I hold it like this, you can see well ahead, right?” Ricdorian, who was running forward, turned to me for a moment with an unrecognizable gaze, as he pa.s.sed the torch on my hand.

“It’s certainly a possibility.” I added. .

Of course, I didn’t really get to see his face clearly with this position. Nonetheless, I could tell that he was serious, judging from the tone of his voice. That’s why I added a sentence playfully.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be the light beside you with this in my hands.”

I patted the gla.s.s dome and said those words so sweetly– as if we were the main characters of a spectacular movie. But he never answered back…he just ignored my words. He’s so focused on running.

Because of the awkward atmosphere surrounding us, I looked up at him and was startled. Right now, the man carrying me who was running nonstop, had his eyes fixated on me.

“Ricdorian! Front, look in front!” I screamed.

“Iana.” A deep, low-sounding voice called me.

“Do you intend to keep your words?” he asked me, and I couldn’t help but feel confused.

What does he mean? Word?!

I didn’t tilt my head nor did I nod. The situation right now was very dire for me to respond too soon. Nevertheless, he smiled and faced forward to what seemed to be an endless path.

But I was so surprised that I opened my eyes wide. He was running at a completely different speed than before– it was as if he was just warming up earlier.

“…you’re light, Iana.” I heard Ricdorian mutter, but I couldn’t take it lightly.

As a matter of fact, he was just 16 years old. His body was still that of a teenage boy. But wasn’t I told that his body was forced to mature?..for the awakening that was supposed to happen in the future.

That’s what Jair explained to me.

So isn’t it a burden for him to use the power that was supposed to come out in the future? He was supposed to take it slow.

There were things that supported this. One of which was that Ricdorian, after undergoing some changes on his body, would always end up hot and feverish.

And it was also on my mind…the way he ran right now was somewhat impossible for a normal being to do. He should have been exhausted by now, or should have been desperately gasping for air, but he wasn’t. He’s as pristine as just before he started running. It’s as if no trace of energy has been stripped from him at all.

But there was no other way to proceed. This was the best possible solution we can get. It was faster for Ricdorian to carry me while leaving this place, if nothing else goes wrong, no one would be any the wiser we even left the cell for a while.

I gently bit my lips, clasping the torch with one hand and holding his chest with the other.

Not long after, I finally saw the end of the corridor.

“There!” I screamed. However, at that same time, a loud noise was heard from behind.

Creak. Creak.

It was a very peculiar sound and somehow, I think I’ve heard something like it before.

Curious as I was, I decided to look over his shoulder and was blown away by the scene behind us, making me open my mouth wider than before.

The pa.s.sage’s really closing, right?

I took another glance just to make sure what I’m seeing was real. It really was closing. Literally. The corridor was disappearing behind us. The wall was narrowing from afar, and the path disappeared after the walls collided with each other.

“Ric..Ricdorian, fas..faster!”

His feet got faster, as if he had noticed the urgency of my voice.

Dash!

Clank! Clank!

In addition, the chains on his body sounded rough against the ground.

Just a little bit, just a little more…! Please!

And as soon as the wall reached us…echo! echo!

A huge reverberation pulsated through my eardrums. It was so intense that I was not even sure if we made it. The ringing lasted for about a minute, making it difficult for me to figure out if we’re saved.

I couldn’t even feel the soreness of my back. I just breathed heavily and looked through the area where the dusts from the closing walls started to settle.

“Haa..haa! The hole, it’s gone. We made it!” I said, in between breaths.

There was no hole in my sight, anymore. It was just the wall. The same wall where Ricdorian’s chains were fixed. It was as if nothing ever happened.

Slowly blinking my eyes, I soon met Ricdorian’s gaze.

He stared at me just like what he had always done and didn’t even look at the wall. Even so, he wasn’t bothered by the fact that the hole was gone.

“…have you seen it?” I queried but he just tilted his head slowly.

And with that, I burst out laughing.

No way! Am I the only one who’s surprised here?, I thought to myself.

Ever since I got here, this was something that’s been bugging me greatly. This was, for sure, the major incident I’ve ever been to.

How could he be so indifferent on the things that were too overwhelming for me?

I stopped at the thought and turned my eyes on the ground, blankly. Then suddenly, I felt something from my pocket. Fortunately, the things I brought here were still in my pocket. And when I took my watch out, it took my breath away.

There was no time. No, the time has pa.s.sed so long. Then, I continued to grab for more things from my pocket, scanning for some items that might help us out.

As I looked at Ricdorian, I could tell that his other personality came back because he’s looking like an innocent saint right now. Moreover, the hair that grew on his face earlier became shorter.

“Well, well. Look who’s here! When did you come back?”

“What are you saying, Iana? I’ve been here since earlier.” He said jokingly, but then lowered down his head. Not long after, he looked at me.

It was easy to discern when I was interacting with a rational Ricdorian. The key was in eye contact. If he was feeling rational, he would have difficulty looking at someone’s eye when talking to them.

I prefer the times when he had to look down, and I thought it would be easy for me to handle this side of him. It’s always easier to deal with someone who looks more human and less monstrous, and someone who doesn’t look at you straight in the eye.

But of course, his handsomeness was as burdensome as ever. I could say if angels were ever true, his face would be an example on how they would look like. Sometimes, I got the tendency to wallow in his dreamy face. Angelic, ethereal, and dainty.

“…Could you please stop showing your face to me?”

“Huh.”

“Well, don’t answer.” I winced and pushed his chest to create some distance between us but he was so fast that he was able to seize my hand.

I sighed slowly as I glanced at my hand that he was holding. Then he raised his hand and pulled me closer to his chest in one quick motion.
