Fairytail Love

Chapter 2

Jesus Me. I had been so wrapped up in the detail of its body, its design, that I hadn't even realized it was right in my face now. Barely two inches away. Its breath and saliva hit my face with every huff and puff. Oh my. It... It's...

"Beautiful."

~~~~

"Oh god. I've never seen such an amazing specimen. Wow, and you respond to verbal communication! Are you made of lava or simply a red liquid? Are you able to talk? Goodness, you are beautiful." I usher out quickly receiving a questioning look from the monster.

In most scenarios like this, anyone would've run. Used the elements to get away or cover their tracks. Since it was unusual for monsters or unknown beings to wander into the forest in fear of being killed or left stunned.

But...I couldn't miss an opportunity like this.

"M...May I touch you?" I asked with my hand gripping by my side. It'd probably burn but they looked so enchanting, I couldn't miss this opportunity.

My mother had always said that I was naturally curious and it would be my downfall. Always trying to explore things that I had no business doing so.

The Monster seems bewildered, its rocky body and liquid clenching and loosening every second. Releasing smoke with breath after breath. It had moved back, its breath no longer hitting my face but still close enough to see my expressions.

"No."

I lower my hand from reaching out to the beast and turn around, not anticipating a response. I see a man standing in the distance. A long gown covers the figure's body, possibly longer than mine.

You couldn't see anything other than their eyes. A red possibly brighter than the monster is behind me staring right into my grey ones.

"And why is that?"

"...It is a gift to my bride." He says before taking a single step towards me.

"I'm sure they wouldn't mind if it was only a touch. I don't plan on stealing it." I say softly, hoping that a softer approach would persuade the individual into thinking I'm not a threat.

What the fuck is wrong with me? There is an unknown individual on our territory and I'm just talking with them? Mother would lose her head and possibly chop mine off beforehand but I didn't know what else to do. If I couldn't sense their mana or blood flow, then they were probably leagues above my strength. Either that or they weren't alive...

"Do you truly think they would like a stranger touching their belongings?" The person says once again, this time moving his arms to his front, crossing them over each other.

How the hell should I know? I'm not your wife.

"What they don't know won't hurt them," I say responding for the last time, pulling a tight smile to my lips. This back and forth is useless. I'm afraid I've I move he'd do something bad, I mean if he has the power to control this being then they must be strong. At least from first glance and though I'm trained in long-range attacks, I don't think they'd work on them...

I hear a deep chuckle before the man is right in front of my face, with no space between us. I freeze in fear. Is he gonna kill me? Did Diana get far enough? Is he after the crown? Wh-

I can hear the ringing in my head as he picks up my hand and places a soft kiss on the top of them.

"I'm sure they will never know."

The man raises my right hand that is still underneath his and places it in the snout of the unmoving beast. It's surprisingly... cold?

Very cold in fact. So cold that I question how it's emitting such a strange heat and left burn marks on the ground.

However, my thoughts are cut short as the man and monster leave in a flash leaving no trace of even being with me, as Diana runs back to me with two guards behind her. My hand was still in the place where the monster's snout was meant to be.

I feel my hair and dress being blown in the wind as Diana's cries fall upon deaf ears. I can still feel the coldness of the animal's snout but also the warmth of the man whose hand was upon mine.

What the fuck is wrong with me?
