The Only Reason Why I Smile

Chapter 14 Mysterious

------------Chapter 14------------

~Sabritel's PoV~

That girl... She seems to be quite mysterious... And I don't know why I can't put my finger on it.

"Wha do yo tchink 'bout the neow gurl, Sabritel?", Akuma, who was sitting beside me inside the dining room, talked while chewing his food. I thought about his question for a moment and had a solid answer.

"Mysterious.", was my solid answer. Akuma finally swallowed the food he was chewing all along and had a 'I-Really-Don't-Get-You' face. "How about you?", I asked while mouthing a spoonful of my food.

"I think she will be just fine around here...", he said followed by another spoonful, or should I say, large spoonful of his food. The door opened revealing Maloch. "Hey, big guy! Come join us for a bit!", Akuma called out for Maloch. Maloch ignored him. Like Maloch would eat dinner with us... "Okay, whatever.", Akuma said mouthing a spoonful, or should I say, over-the-edge spoonful of his food. Suddenly, a big boom were heard from the castle.

"What was that?", I stood up, alert and ran out the dining room with Akuma behind me.

'Since like the boom was from the grounds.', I stopped before the grounds. Gray smoke was seen everywhere but it cleared easily revealing a girl in the middle of the grounds.

"Hey you! What do you think you are doing here?", I exclaimed while pointing my index finger at the figure. The smoke was now really clear and the shady figure seems to have black-reddish hair. The figure turned around revealing a girl... With the same dress as Oblivia??

"Are you...?", Akuma dare say which I also got in mind.

"I'm Oblivia.", the girl with reddish-black hair and red eyes stated. "Nice to meet you.", she continued. "If I may go now.", she excused herself. Akuma and I were left dumbfounded and stare at her disappearing silhouette.

Meanwhile...

"That explosion was caused by a very very powerful spell.", Shedan was currently intently staring at the explosion from above, or his room on the tower. With him was Maloch, who was currently sipping his drink nonchalant to the attention his lord was giving to the new rookie.

"I can not say anything opposing to the truth.", Maloch said.

"I don't think I even know the move she has demonstrated.", Shedan admitted.

"I have stayed here too long to not see each ability you have shown. With that experience, I can say that you already had.", Maloch put down his drink. "My lord, may I excuse myself.", he then stood up and left the room.

'Really... When?', Shedan was in deep thought to notice Maloch's leave.

Back to the other generals...

Akuma and I were now running around to do our daily so-called race. Akuma would always challenge me to race him around the castle because he says that the things he needs to do is too boring and I would totally skip my errands too cause I want to.

"I'm faster then you today!", Akuma exclaimed happily after we have finished. I breathed rapidly catching my breath.

"Yeah... Cause you cheated...", I said between my breaths. Akuma laughed awkwardly.

"In what way have I cheated?", he says.

"You ran on chairs and unknowingly kicked some to me.", I glared at him when he pulled out a 'I-can't-believe-you-noticed' face.

"Yes, thank you.", that stoic voice was really familiar. I peeked my head at the doorjamb taking the view of the whole main castle hole and Akuma peeked too.
