...*ESCAPING THROUGH THE FOREST*...

Mysterious man running while carrying emillia on his back and holding leos hands *sounds of wilted leaves being stepped*. "Young man we can't drag you anymore into this matters, you can leave us here and escape by yourself were gonna part our ways here" She is worried that he might get killed. "No, I'm doing this on my own will and you don't need to worry about me".

*what is he thinking is he not scared about the situation* " young man what are you saying if something will happen to you I might could not bear the conscience"

"Just leave everything to me and trust me, you said you will protect leo at any cost right?.

"yeah" *a down tone of emillia*

"im sure you can protect leo but in order to do that we need to get you cured" at the moment he was thinking of bringing them into that place *but it is the reason why they are suffering like this. Bringing them into that place will only let emillia remember all of her experiences as what she if before and that put a big scar on her heart*

...*They are nearing to the maiden city they can see the lights of the city*...

"Leo, can you still run?" *catching his breath *

" just a little more run and we will make it"he smiled at leo thinking that they successfuly escaped.

" Yes but I don't think I can still run after we pass through this forest" also leo catching his breath.

"After we pass through this forest let's stop and get some food then find an inn"

*They've already arrive at the maiden city*

"This is such a big city, we can hide in this city for a while " while he is turning his head left and right to find a place to stay then emillia interrupted him.

"Young man then what's next?, are we just gonna escape again if they will find this place?. We can't run forever they won't stop searching for us"

"I know im still thinking if my decision will be good for both of you" *they really are pitiful, hopefully this decision of mine is right*.

"all right, I've decided tommorow before the sun will rise I will take you into my place you both will be safe there" he said that leads emillia more curious about him.

Leo suddenly butt in "Im tired and hungry as well" *Growling~*, mysetrious man and emillia look at leo simultaneously and laugh.

"Now now let's stop talking about it for now our main priority is to find a place to stay for the night"

As they were walking they found an hotel to stay in but the staffs are picky, all staffs are staring at them and gossiping " Hey look at those people and look at what they are wearing. They are just poor" "Yeah yeah I totally I agree let the guards handle them, " GUARDSS!" a lady shouted calling for guards *foots steps clattering* and three guards appear "Yes ma'am" "Get this beggars out of here"

"Yes!" the three guards shove them off

*what's up with this people judging people by their appearance* he is angry but he must calm down and don't make a trouble " We got it no need to shove us we're leaving"

"I can't believe them, How narrow minded those people are" He said with angry tone and ask leo " Leo can you still hold on?"

"I think so, mister" *leo put his hand on his stomach*, he couldn't bear the sight *Sighs* "Lets go find a place to eat first , pretty sure our stomach are aching right now"

As they were walking they found a small stall that selling a food. They headed straight to the stall

"Grandpa how much for the buns?" he reached his pocket to get his wallet.

"Ohhh I just take five coins for that" granpa responded with a smile on his face and stare at them " you look like very hungry, here don't just eat buns here take this soup and buns, no need to pay for it its on me" *smile*

"Are you sure grandpa?" *he is kind sighs it really is proven that who is superior are arrogants*

"here the side of this stall have a bench you can sit in here and put the lady here" *grandpa pointed at the bench side of his stall*

"We appreciate your kindness grandpa, thank you very much" he said then emillia and leo also said "thank you for your kindness grandpa".

"Now now you go eat already while the soup is still hot, I know you three are very hungry we can still talk later if you are done eating" *grandpa took the buns and soup and carry it for them*

*putting down emillia on the bench*

"leo go sit right next to your mom and take your soup and buns" he give the soup and buns to leo. "Im gonna sit right next to you too"

"Thank you for the food" The three of them said simultaneously.

*They started eating*

~After a while~

"Ahhhh!, I'm full its really good" mysterious man said while rubbing on his stomach

"You man, it is not convinient eating with your hood?" she is wondering why would he bother putting his hood, she is confused on what it is he is trying to hide due to it it peaks her curiosity even more ." why don't you just try walking without putting your hood, well I mean you are not from this cities aren't you?"

"You have a point there but there are things that must be considered I couldn't be careless" He answered straight emillia while looking at the moon.

*Leo just staring at them talking without knowing what they are talking about*

"What are they talking about?" leo muttering.

"young man why are you helping us?, not that I did not appreciate your help but we are not relatives or something that has close relationship don't we?" *cough* *cough*

leo suddenly stand up and grab the hands of emillia

"mom are you ok?" he shed a tears

"mom is okay leo you don't cry anymore ok?" emillia wiped leos tears with a smiling face *smile*

-mysterious man watching them-

*This is why I wanted to help you both, you reminded me of what was happened to me and my mother before. It is just not out of sympathy emillia* he talks on his mind and look up to the moon

...*-Flashbacking memories-*...

and his both eyes began to drop a single tears, he then wiped his tears "Yes we does not have that kind of close relationship not also relatives either but I just feel like this is what I need to do".

"you man may I ask what is that things that you need to consider?" she asked while comforting leo to ease his mind

"You will see once we reach in there but I hope that won't trigger the wrat that dwells inside you" said with a worried face

"what do you mean by that?" emillia is confused on what he is saying she even ask her self *What wrath?, does he mean about my past experiences? "

"No nothing just prepare yourself, lets continue find a place to stay wait for me here im gonna talk to grandpa" he said then go to grandpa.
