Emotions

"Your name" the man who was on the stand, registering the men who were registering to be the son in law of the Baron.

"My name is Derrick" Derrick answered the man, who looked at him for some moments before shaking his head and muttering "what a pity, his looks are super".

"Occupation" the man continued asking, Derrick didn't know what to say, he wasn't doing anything or needed to do anything ever since he was born.

"Student" Derrick replied after a bit thinking, the man looked at him again, shakes his head again, before giving Derrick a paper, and then shouted "Next".

Derrick took the paper and left, it seems the engagement ceremony for the selection would be held tomorrow, today is just for interested participant to register.

'So what should I be doing now?' Derrick thought to himself, he was already strolling around the city and saw most of what the city has to offer.

He thought about Ella that was left in the inn and his memory flashed back to the moment in the bathroom, he reluctantly shakes his head, for a virgin in both lives, his innate desire has started growing, because he never thought about it before, so it was as if he doesn't have any canal desires, but after thinking about it, he felt the feeling was there, he could only hold his forehead and sigh.

"Well let's go back and check on Ella" he told himself, he went back to the inn, only to find Ella sulking in the bed.

The moment she saw him, her face brightened and she immediately ran and hugged Derrick, this caused Derrick to become speechless, he thought there would be another round of beating, but was only hugged.

"I thought you ran away and left me in the inn, I couldn't find you or Shadow when I woke up, I thought both of you had ran away and left me in the inn, I was so scared" she said sniffing, this made Derrick realize that he and indeed left when she was in bed, both him and Shadow, is already in the afternoon, seeing that she had put her hopes on Derrick to help her, only for him to disappear, so that was why she was scared.

"Now now, I am sorry, I wanted to see how this territory looked like, so I was just strolling around, I never thought of leaving you, I already promised to help you and am not about to break my promise" Derrick said while stroking her soft hair, she looked like a beautiful doll to Derrick when she was acting meek, she was always feisty and acted like nothing could faze her, but it seems she is still a kid at heart.

"Alright, I haven't eaten since morning, I am very hungry" Ella replied Derrick, still in his arms, Derrick could only chuckle and amuse.

"You haven't eaten anything since morning couldn't you go out from the room and order for something, when we come back we pay". Derrick asked, he could not believe that she didn't leave the room all day, and was starving because she thought they left her.

When Ella heard the question, she pulled herself away from Derrick and looked him in the eyes, her beautiful green eyes, which could suck a man's soul in it, but what came out from her mouth broke the sweet atmosphere that had been building.

"Are you stupid? I told you I was scared you both left me, you are asking why I couldn't go out and order for food, if both you didn't come back again how am I supposed to pay huh, and I couldn't think about food, when am thinking about how I would survive from now on".

Ella berated Derrick with the long words, the loving look and the soft hearted which Derrick directed towards Ella before shattered in an instant, he immediately ignored her and entered the bed.

Ella saw this and said "Wouldn't you accompany me to have lunch?" Ella was replied with a silent treatment from Derrick, who ignored her completely, she only hmphhh and as she was about going out Derrick told her "After your lunch, we would be going out to buy you some better clothes" after saying that, the room returned to it's silence atmosphere, Ella smiled sweetly after hearing those words before leaving the room, to get food for herself.

Meanwhile back in alley, "Have you found those two, am gonna fucking kill that red haired boy" a man with a missing tooth said, holding his jaw.

"Yes I saw the boy in the gathering for those registering to become the son in law of the Baron, I waited and followed him back to his inn, he seemed to be thinking of something, I followed him back to the golden turtle" one of his henchmen said.

"The Golden Turtle, hmm he must have some money to be staying in the Golden Turtle, we can't mess with the Golden Turtle, the madame there is really scary so let's avoid the inn, we would have to wait for them to come out to settle our scores with them".
