Bloodlight Goddess Ru

CHAPTER 42

[CHAPTER 42: Our different sides]

The air became cold but, swirling flames of rage was surrounding the cold place. Zeran held Ru's hand and gripped her tightly. He brought out his hand, as if he was trying to protect his Goddess Ru, while he was glaring at his own mother, since he remembered that his mother tried to kill him before. As for Ru, she felt amazed of Zeran's chivalrous and daring action for her, making her to blush a bit. Soon, he says to Arseia with his searing eyes,

"Are you here to kill me again?!"
"Or even kill all of us here?".

As he let out those heavy words, the atmosphere became colder and intense vibes had beaten throughout the place. Though, Arseia just closed her eyes and sighed. Then, she opened her eyes again and said like she was shocked mother for some reason, turning the frozen air to cease,

"Geez...settle down Zen..."
"There'll be no bloodshed going on here..."
"And is this how you see your caring mother with all her heart? Geez...".

The air became giddy. She pointed her finger at him and continues to say,

"I'm here to tell both of you what's really going on between LIGHT GODDESS...ANGEHIME and DARK GODDESS RUHIME..."
"But first...you should ask dark Goddess Ruhime's side of things..."
"So Mai...".

Arseia stopped pointing at him. Mai nodded, as she understood Arseia's statements. Sooner or later, Mai and Arseia left the room, leaving Zeran and Ru to be in their own space again. The frozen icicles were gone and the burning aura of Zeran was released, as he looked dumbfounded over his mother's words, turning him to scratch his head. Though, Ru already knew what Arseia meant, making her to say in her thoughts,

("I guess it's time to tell him...").

Ru twisted herself and went in front of him such as she was a daring ballerina. She was holding both of Zeran's hands, making Zeran to blush, while he was mesmerized by her. Ru looked down and sighed. Then, she said, while she was looking at him direct in the eye,

"I guess this time has come Zera...".

Zeran was dumbstruck and he says,

"Hm? What do you mean Ru?".

She let go of his hands and walked a few paces away from him. The whole place became stagnant, as deafening silence seeped into the air through her sudden change of action. Soon, she turned her face to the side, while her golden eyes were glancing at him. Then, she let out her words filled with heavyness of a falling anchor,

"Do you want to know why, I'm making you do this?".

Zeran replies,

"Eh? Well it's just to get back your precious and treasured artifacts right?".

As she heard his out of the blue compliments, her face became flustered such as she was a steaming pot poured with flattery. She let her lips touch her fingers like she was an embarassed timid lady in addition to her reaction. Though, her thoughts were already floating in cloud nine and she was kinda feeling turned on,

("Precious and treasured?!")
("Awwww...he does really know how to push my buttons...")
("Even in this kind of situation...").

Zeran tried to tilt his head since, he was noticing that there was something strange about her. Somehow, she didn't want him to notice that she was feeling flustered, so she shrugged-off her sudden reaction and she said with a forced composure,

"Ahem...yet not only that..."
"But it is also due to my ideal of...".

Then, she twisted herself again. She depicted a pose like she was a grand demon queen proving her grand schemes, while she was holding her chest with a daring proud evil look on her face and said that would strike fear to anyone's eyes,
