The Middle Of The Night
Chapter 07 [Lion.]

A few weeks later.

A man seemed to be standing, looking straight ahead, with a blank look. Downstream the wind blew, sweeping his face tight enough that he closed his eyes for a while.

..."You still monitoring him?"...

The man turned his head, as a voice he was very familiar with sounded greeting.

..."Till when? they won't let you take his daughter. It won't do, Lion."...

The man of his age said, then he stood right beside him, also staring straight at the vast expanse of forest from a height in the afternoon.

..."The old man promised, remember!?" Lion was upset. "Even he gave Elora as a guarantee, so why now he did not fulfill his promise, after what he had obtained."...

..."Yeah, I know. But which father would let his daughter go, together ... Dragon Demon like you!"...

Lion looked over, looking at his friend sharply. He was really offended by the expression he had just heard.

..."I'm not a demon, keep that in mind!" Lion snarling....

..."Then what will they call you? at least stop being so stingy, or threatening Charles. Let her daughter come to you like she used to."...

Lion bowed his head, as he cut down his long white hair that he had tied up originally.

..."Time's up, Ed. And after that I'll be that beast forever."...

Edmund shook his head, an answer if Lion should not be discouraged.

..."We're gonna break that magic, and let Charles' daughter come to you! without coercion, let alone trying to kidnap her."...

Suddenly the memories returned. Where the girl he was about to carry fell, when the Lion was unable to balance his body because of some arrow wounds that Charles soldiers gave.

She is beautiful, also has a soft heart, in contrast to the father, who has a greedy nature to be able to justify all means, to subvert the Lion just because of a desire beyond reason.

..."Does he not remember me?" Lione looked at Edmund....

..."Recalling? what do you mean?" The man looked confused....

..."When I tried to leave him, he suddenly appeared. Asking about my situation, approaching as if he had forgotten who I was before."...

Edmund breathed.

Not yet had Edmun finished his words, Lion was already staring at him full of threats.

..."Again you say that! I kicked you out of here."...

..."Haih, ... Your life is full of threats, man!"...

..."Don't remind me of that, or I'll forget my original intentions like I used to!" Tukas Lion's. "Tragic love story." He laughs at himself....

..."All right, I'll go first. Looks like I have to secure myself, let alone your emotions are very explosive, I'm afraid it will be your delicious meal when you change later, the sun starts to set, right?"...

After saying that Edmund immediately ran, exiting the room with a soft laugh that continued to sound.

Sewing his friend who was a little tempramen, became a pleasure in itself for Edmund.

..."Fucking buddy!" Lion shouting....

..."Close the door, before you actually turn into a dragon." Edmund again replied, and after that a loud laughter rang out....

Lion immediately ran, intending to chase after Edmund who was currently heard coming down the stairs.

..."You are! I'll really kill you later!" Lion looks upset....

While his friend just kept smiling, he stepped quickly until his body completely disappeared behind the door that was slowly starting to close.

Lion continued to stand there, contemplating his current state.

..."Am I really going to kill him? while he was the one who accompanied me all this time, when your parents even shunned you. Because right now you're a different Lion, you're the Lion who's under someone's curse, and it's Charles's greed." Lion monologue....

His heart was sad, even his eyes were already flushed and teary.

..."You were a fool to believe it!" Said Lion with great emphasis....

And after that he came back, did not forget to close the wooden door, the room.

Visual Lion equals Edmund 😌🤭
