Leaving the castle

"Now that you are all of this, do you realize how dangerous the individual I want to get rid of is?" asks Betty, with a small tone of concern "yes I realize, it is for greater reason that I will help you accomplish your feat" Betty looks up bewildered "in theory you should have fewer dargions to help me after hearing all this .. .but okay then I'll gladly accept your help. "Betty lowers her head again so as not to show a happy little smile.

"But first we have to get stronger, by the way do you know what level ... the vampire was?" Asteri did not use the word father to not annoy her "I don't know, I never happened to see him fight seriously and every time I was close to him I could not probe his level ... but in any case already standing next to him you could perceive a threatening aura. But I know what my mother's level was, at the fourth degree of the orange core. "

"So we have to at least get to the orange core," Asteri mused, "so will you help me with that training?" he asked "yes, I have no problem, just tell me when you want to start" Betty asked "unfortunately not now, we must first go back to the guild to collect the reward, otherwise if they don't see us coming they will send someone else here" Betty and Allatu nodded.

"Ok then I'm going to get my things" said Betty leaving, bitterly, Asteri's embrace "do you want to come? Aren't you worried that the vampire's henchmen will start chasing you again?" Allatu asked "okay, I've been hiding for too long ... and then I want to take a breath of fresh air, after two years locked up in this castle I'm definitely bored" and so she went somewhere else to retrieve her objects "We will wait for you outside the entrance," Asteri says, starting to walk with Allatu.

"Sure of what you want to do? Now she has the mark of the slave ... even if you don't want to help her she will have to obey you, if you want you can also turn her into a puppet that will obey everything you command" asks Allatu "no , I'm sure I want to help her is my decision, and then I took her first time, at least I have to do it ... and I don't like having puppets that repeat "yes sir or" as you wish, master "after it will become a thing boring. And finally I like it, and with time I'm sure I'll love it "smiles Asteri.

"Hihi that's why I fell in love with you, or rather it's one of your aspects that I'm attracted to" Allatu clings to Asteri's arm, who could only smile at this action.

As they headed they passed the forge room, which reminded him of his father's life in the village. And immediately he began to think of him, the one who took away his family, friends and home 'everyone has his problems ehh' think at the same time also of Betty's story 'he's already a boy ... and yours will only increase' Aurelion tells him 'but until or you I am not alone, right?' Asteri replies, Aurelion remained silent after this statement.

'I was thinking that when I have fixed that forge I could go back to forging weapons or armor, I would like to put my father's teachings into practice' think Asteri 'why not, it would also be useful you could save resources' Aurelion agreed.

The two left the castle waiting for Betty to come out "you know I was wondering where is this country ruled by that vampire" Allatu began to say "who knows but for now it is not worth knowing, we will ask her when we are ready" Asteri proposed.

After a few minutes Betty came out of the castle, but she had no bag or sack to carry the items she said to retrieve "here I am, sorry for the delay" Asteri asks him "where are your belongings?" Betty shows a ring on her index finger "I'm here ... I got it from those dead adventurers, they wouldn't need it anymore" Asteri and Allatu remained silent.

"Right! Betty your wounds? The blow of light you suffered yesterday" Asteri asked "oh, that's not a problem, now I'm completely healed ..." Asteri was stupid "you half-breeds have a very fast regeneration" Betty blushed "i-i guess so" Allatu could only smile at this discussion as she knew why she recovered so quickly, but let go.

"Do you think it's better to put a hood on?" asked betty "I don't think you need it, after all you look completely human, the slightly pale complexion could be mistaken for a different skin color" answered Asteri "but the priestess? Didn't you say it is gone to the guild, she might recognize her "Allatu proposes.

"I don't think she gives anyone a tip, I can't say I know her perfectly but at first glance she doesn't seem that kind of person" says Asteri "if you say so." Betty was no longer worried.

"Let's go to the village first, I think Gisette has already revealed to them the success of the mission, but it's always better to make sure" Asteri started walking towards the village "just to be safe, no one in the village will recognize you, right?" Allatu walks beside Betty "no, they've never seen me" she reassured her.

"Don't you feel a grudge towards that priestess who hit you?" Allatu asked another question "no, after all it is also thanks to her that I managed to free myself from that control, even alone with time I would be completely healed" Betty seems to have no grudge towards Gisette "fantastic" Allatu said, doing tick a question mark in Betty's mind.

"What are you two doing? Come on we have to go" Asteri turns and called to them, seeing that they were slowing down "yes, yes we are" says Allatu, Betty was confused by what Allatu said at the end, but I don't think about it that much is began to walk with the two.
