Chapter 125: Goodbye For Now

The Day Samael woke up, the Royal Couple decided to make that day a holiday for everyone.At first, the people were having a hard time adjusting to their normal lives after all, they were quickly got adapted to the lives with the virus, alot of royal from the other place visited the Amias Empire, along with nobles.

Of course they will attend, they wouldn't miss any chance of becoming one of the Throndsen, Azazel saw all of this and were disgusted bh those greedy nobles who only wanted power that ruled a huge land of the island.

But when the Royal Couple asked for their help nobody even dared to raise their hand, even more help the citizens during crisis.

Once they found out that the children were the one who found out the antidote, they flock towards their way and gifted several expensive stuff.The only oblivious one who didn't notice those people intention is Ophelia herself.

Luckily, the two sister pulled her away before she can take those gift.Thank god the two are smart enough to see through those people intention.

Azazel is happy seeing the people happy again but he is still quiet shaken what 'Azazel' said to him.Even the two royal couple questions bim regarding about the task.He even have to lied and said that he didn't know what it was and maybe the demon king mistaken him for another person.

He shivered once again when the 'someone' recalled on his memories.

Who is this someone and how come they know who he was? Or maybe he misunderstand 'Azazel' words to him.

But the word Timeline conviced him now.

The someone who the Demon King talking about somehow knew him or the someone knows who he is and maybe encountered him before.

"You okay there?" Samael pounced in his back, snuggling his chubby cheeks on the brown chesnut hair of the older male.

Samael must have notice the frown forming on his face, chuckling as he ruffles the young child black hair.

"I'm fine, why aren't you entertaining the guest?You should be there." Azazel pick up the little demon king, heading back towards the ballroom where the guest are residing for the celebrations today.

"They're boring, all they do is ask for my hand on marriage." Samael pouted, wrapping his small arms around the older male's neck, sniffing out the sweet scent coming out from the male's body.

Azazel chuckled, just like what he said earlier.The nobles only attended the celebration because of the intention they have.The intention to marry Samael, they know that Samael will be the crown prince even though Alfred is the eldest.

"Then just tell them that you are not interest for now."

"I told them but they said that they can wait but promise them about it." Azazel can see Samael pouting even though it's head place on the crook of his neck.

"You are meant to marry one later on, it's part of the human of marrying someone they love."

Samael lean backward, red eyes staring into those green orbs."Is that so?Then marry me brother!"

Pfft.

"You are still too young Samael to ask someone like that.Don't even think about proposing to a girl at such young age, you should study first before marrying someone." Azazel smiled, flicking the child's forehead.

"I will get older someday and you have to marry me!" Samael puff out his chest, placing his small hands on both of the older male's cheeks.

Azazel only smiled as they entered the ballroom where some of the people are having the best time of their life.

As soon they entered, countless head turn to their direction as they walk down, mostly Azazel carrying the child while walking towards the Royal Couple at the throne, sitting and greeting others who came to them.

"Look over there, you should say hi to them Samael." Nudging towards the children who are having fun playing around in the corner while the parents gossip by the table, not caring if the child is a mess, seeing cake all over them.

"I don't want to," Samael pouted, shaking his head.

"You need to have more friends at your age Samael, it's not like they don't like you.They're shy because you're the Imperial Prince, a royal member."

Azazel said, heading towards the direction where the children are playing.

"You don't love me at all..." Samael sniff, he was about to cry when Azazel made a deal with him.

"If you made friends with them, I'll sleep in your room tonight."

It works, he jump down and greeted the children with full of joy in his tone.Azazel chuxkled as the children take turn to braid his hair.

He glance everywhere tosearch for certain sisters and eldest child of the royal family.But to no avail, he didn't see fluffy pink hair, black, and blue in the crowd.

He didn't also saw a brown mop of hair, who is actually Wigslaf Beat.He didn't saw the male for the past few weeks, as he is certainly busy for that time being, the last time he saw him was probably where he and him were having a breakfast.

Then, the clue appeared, Wigslaf himself.

He grab a plate of food then headed towards the garden where it holds a peace in it and no annoying people.

The full moon showed itself along with the stars decorating the darkness, the temperature is set perfectly for the night, even the fireflies decided to roam around and joined the night for today.

Luckily, you can find many chairs and tables outside the garden, as the Empress love to have tea outside and enjoyed the scenery infront of her.

He sat down, placing the food on top of the table and took out something fron the inside of his coat, a book where Wigslaf gifted to him.

The sound of the page flipping were heard from the silent garden, the sound of slurping were also heard but that's the food people.

Somehow, he didn't get to focus on reading the book, his mind is preoccupied by something.

That something is the other side;Leonar's domain.

From how he heard what the demon king said about the gods taking side with Leonar, and he even the demon king sided with Leonar. The Villain of the timeline he is in.

Though, Adelaide never mentioned about Leonar at all or perhaps she didn't want to talk about it.It's not like their past is good at all, it's horrible from what he heard.

Suddenly, the chair across from the table startled him, heart almost thump out from the rib cage, he snap his head towards the suspect and saw Noah?

"Hey..."

Azazel softly greeted the child, Noah nodded as his replied.He sat down, leaning back to his chair and closing his eyes.

He also attended the event but he didn't saw him at all, or maybe he is too short to be seen by a tall person like him.

The boy's hair is slicked back like a gentleman, soft simple attire but he sure can stand out by due to his gentle handsome face.

Gentle it is but cold actually.

"Why aren't you inside the ballroom?You are one of the heroes who created the antidote." Noah said, he open his eyes and stared at the male across the table.

Azazel blink a couple of times, he turn to look at Noah and saw that he is also staring at him.

"I can't handle too much people.I hate crowded places and annoying people who can't stop gossiping." Azazel chuckled at the last part.

"Same here, I was about to refused but the Emperor invited me personally."

Azazel was about to reached for the cookies but he stop, eyes widened at the child's words.

"The Emperor personally?"

Azazel close the book, placing it down at the table.He lost interest in reading because Noah is here to accompany him.

"Yeah, at first I was a bit taken aback from him inviting me personally, it was like an honor to be invited by him,"

He trailed of, instead of reaching towards the plate where various of food decorated the white porcelain,he took the bitten cookie in the male's hand.

Azazel was a bit startled, he didn't mind though.Damn it, he shoukd have place it inside his mouth, what the hell is he even taking advantage of a child right now?!

He hated how he is simping over a child Arthur right now, he need to bury himself deepin the ground and get rid of the thought of doing such things to a child!

He just have to wait for now.

"You are lucky, it seems like the Emperor have taken a like to you."

"I guess I am indeed lucky."

Silence.

It is only a short exchange between then but it's quiet comfortable around each other.The sound of the wind made them calm, it's soothing towards their relax state.

"I'm going away for a while."

Azazel almost break his head from how fast he turn his head to look at the child.

"What did you just said?"

"I said, I am going away for a while.I need to get stronger for the competition in a few years from now on."

Noah eyes lingered at the cookie, putting it inside his mouth before locking his eyes towards the green ones.

"Is that so?"

Azazel replied, sighing silently before speaking again," When do you leave?"

"Tomorrow by dawn,"

.

.

.

"Goodluck training, make sure to eat alot of healthy foods to get stronger and more healthier." Azazel said solemnly.

He just met Noah a few days ago and didn't have any interaction at all.He totally get that Noah is wary of strangers like him, but he is going away for a while to train.

"Thanks."

Azazel finally finished the food on the plate, "I am heading back inside and take a rest."

He stands up, Noah also stands up and breath in really loud.Azazel heard this and can't help but tilt his head at the side.

"Thank you for taking care of me while I was sick.Even though you knew the risk of getting infected, you still took care of me.I don't know how to repay you for your kindness." Noah smiled for the first time.

Azazel breath hitched, the sight before him is pretty.It's like seeing his lover again makes him teared up again.

He miss those smiles, his laugh and how his heart beat faster when he place his head on his chest, to feel the warm that keeps him safe.

"I...."

"Please wait for me to get stronger and I'll protect you with all my life.I'll consider your small crush towards me, until then please wait for my courtnership in a few years." Noah said calmly.

Azazel mind stop working for a minute, what did the child just said to him?! He'll consider his small crush towards him?!

His cheeks flamed up, did the child felt his crush towards him after all?

"Until then, wait for mr to come back.I'll promise to stay loyal to you.Goodbye for now Azazel." Noah spun around, not before giving him a small sincere smile.

Azazel watch the small child back disappeared.He sighed, feeling helpless at the thought if being found out about his feelings.

Still, it warm his heart from the though of Noah courting him in the few years, he didn't even know why many years is that.

Of course, him knowing the part that Noah stayed loyal to him after he disappeared.He'll make sure to spend the remaining times with him, to make sure that he spoiled him with all of his heart.

"I'll wait for you Noah."
