Chapter 73.1
"ARE YOU underestimating me? Are you underestimating me?" Said Vivi repeatedly. He landed on the far side of the fruit basket while watching what I was doing.
"Vivi," I muttered. I turned to him and looked at him sharply. Sometimes this bird is really annoying. Could he not forget what the foolish Casias said earlier.
When he stopped I looked at Rowan for a moment before continuing what I was doing, picking up fruits and utensils because of the mess that had happened earlier. I noticed that he seemed irritated by what the bird was saying.
I sighed as I put the last piece of apple in its basket. Thankfully, it had not been too bruised from its fall earlier. His trembling hands grabbed my attention. Probably still scared to this day.

THE NEXT day, I had only a small amount of fruit to take to the market, so I stopped using the cart. I let out a sigh of relief before effortlessly lifting the sack and placing it on my shoulder.“I heard you helped Rowan yesterday at the market when Casias harassed her,” Frida said next to me. She is the one who takes care and lists the number of fruits in the sack so she is now in the orchard.I turned to face her. I would never really pay attention to her but because she is talking to me, I have to answer her. Otherwise, she will be annoyed with me again and I may come back here for another sack of fruit."Yes, Frida," I answered sparingly.She raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. "It is a good thing I ordered you to bring a sack of fruit there at that time. If not for me, Rowan would have been doomed," she said with an arrogant air in her voice. I just nodded in agreement.I also have no intention of opposing her because it will

HE QUICKLY grabbed my clothes by the shoulder and squeezed his face close to mine. I did not move, instead, I just stared blankly at him."That is all you did but if you brag about it like you can beat me now.""That is all?" I said with a sarcastic tone. I came closer to him to show that I was not intimidated, but rather challenged by him. "You underestimate what I did even though it left a mark on your face. Why? Did any other young lady do that to you besides me?" I grabbed his hand tightly and forbade him to take it away from me. "And yes, I can beat you even if we fight over and over again."I quickly kicked the dagger of one of his companions when it charged at me. It flew into the air. I caught him and I circled away from them. I turned to face Casias again, he stopped right at me when I threw the dagger at him.It cut a few strands of his hair before it sank into the tree just behind him. I smiled which made him stop even more."What can yo

INSTEAD OF going straight to my home, I made my way to the beach. It was far away from where I came from but I could not feel the distance I walked because I was talking to Vivi. He says anything and everything now, seems to be getting more comfortable in this town as well."The blue ocean! The blue ocean!" his lively tone echoed in my ear. Free as he flew in the wide sky, there were also different kinds of birds passing so I smiled watching Vivi who seemed to be chasing them.The strong wind blew my long hair and as I inhaled it, I could smell its salty breeze. I came even closer to the eternal looking ocean. It seemed to be a reflection of the sky, deep blue. I also took off my footwear so I could feel the fine and white sand on it more.I felt even more relieved at the sight. "I hope it is always like this," I whispered into the air. "No bitterness and sorrow."I sat in front of the clean ocean and surveyed the whole place. The waves were not very stro

I WAS stunned when I saw Casias again on the far side of the market, walking proudly with his two followers. It looks like the vendors here in the market will be paying the charged of the rent again.I am currently arranging the fruits in front of me. I am the one selling it now because Rowan is not here yet. Going for a walk with his lover. Yes, he now has a lover who is also a merchant here in the market. She had liked him for a long time but she was not noticed by him then because he suddenly turned his attention to me when he first met me.I still remember the first time we met, he was stunned by my beauty that almost had his saliva dripping. But now, he was dead set, in love with Mila. This young lady openly shows her liking for the man but he ignores her.And when Rowan realized that he really could not get my heart, he started to turn his attention to the young lady until he finally fell in love with her.Now that he always lets me keep an eye on h

IT WAS already dark when Rowan returned to the store. His wide smile was intacted in his face ever since he came back and it made me irritated for reasons I cannot name. When he paid me, I left immediately and let him close the store because I really could not stand his enthusiasm with things."Finally, we can go home too, Vivi," I said wearily. These past few days, I have always been tired because I have to keep an eye on the store. I am wondering. I used to work even harder in the past but I never got tired. I sighed. Maybe I was just not exercising enough. My body is no longer used to many activities, unlike before.But it seems even better for me that I feel tired because I can now sleep easily. Bad dreams hardly come to my sleep anymore so I feel more secure in the past few days. I do not know the reason for all of this but I am just thankful.Maybe it was really not because of exhaustion the reason why I am so assured. I do not know. I just do not want to

I STOPPED walking while waiting for his answer. It took him a long time before he spoke. “I also always go there when I want to breathe and be able to think,” he said, staring at nothing in particular. "The first time I saw you there was also the day I met you. Since then, I have never forgotten the sight of your sad eyes." He sighed. "I always wondered why there was so much sadness in your eyes that night. The same night many questions went through my mind. What was the cause of her sadness? What happened? But why every time I see her in the market, there was not a streak of sadness there, no emotion or whatsoever." He slowly turned to face me after saying those things. I, on the other hand, avoided him, unable to find a word to counter his words. Or do I really have to answer him?

"Who is the stupid creature you are referring to?" said someone on my side which startled me. I immediately turned to face him, backing away as he approached."What are you doing here?" I asked quickly, my forehead furrowed, not believing his presence.He grinned and shrugged. "I told you before, did I not?" He came even closer so I backed away again. "Do you want me to take care of the stupid creature you are referring to?" he added, looking like he is planning something bad now.I forgot that he was a cruel one. He can hurt any creature he wants. I was the only young lady he could never beat, the one who knocked him down with just one punch.I grunted and sat down in front of the lake again. "Do not interfere, I will take care of hi

I WALKED past Casias when we met at the market, I even stared at him to show I was irritated by his presence."Good morning, Aliara!" he said, smiling as he greeted me but I ignored him. There is always nothing good in the morning when I see him.I set aside the cart when I arrived at Rowan's store. He was busy with a lot of customers this morning so cannot even greet me."I will help you!" Casias said again, who was already in front of me. I did not notice him following me. His two companions were also behind him."No. Just keep doing what you are doing." I did not pay attention to him as I picked up a sack on the cart.I know he is collecting fees from the vendors here in the marke
