Chapter 38 - XXXVIII. Proposal

"..." Calea didn't replied back, she didn't try to refute Sword's theory, although her chest has been beating rapidly this whole time, Calea was still able to keep her cool.

A moment of silence befall the two of them, Sword eagerly waits for Calea to answer, but Calea herself won't open her mouth.

'...Damnit all, it's over for me, how did he figure that out– Turns out, im just a dancing puppet on his palm.' Calea said to herself, she smiled at the thought of her life coming to an end. '..Aaahh— What do i do now, there's no way of getting out, i can't reason with him, he guessed all of my plan.."

"You're smiling?" Sword said, he saw how Calea wasn't afraid of him even in the slightest bit, it's commendable that she managed to smile even under his suffocating pressure, and for Sword, that sight gave him more desire to claim her.

Everyone else arrived at Scythe's location, when Carsel was about to approach him, Scythe raised one of his hand and stopped all of his students from getting closer.

"Stop, stay where you are." Said Scythe, he took a few steps forward, leaving Calea with Sword all by herself.

"Huh?.. O- okay?" Seir responded to Scythe's order, he and the others slowed their pace down until they all stopped altogether.

"What?.." Deon spoke in confusion, he sees Calea standing head to head with Sword, their aura was intense even though no actual aura was being used.

Meanwhile, Carsel was also curious with Calea and how she got into that situation.

'What happened here.. That crazy bitch, she did something outrageous isn't she?' He thought, his teeths grinding with one another.

"...Stay beneath that tree over there, don't move unless i told you to." Scythe ordered as he pointed to the nearest tree behind him, it's at the edge of the open area.

"...Yes." Endi, Hughen, and Seir all said the same thing simultaneously, the rest of them soon walked to the tree that Scythe pointed out and stood there without any objection.

A few seconds then passed in silence, except the sound of fighting and earthquake that was being generated from the Golem's stomp and punches, no words was spoken from Scythe and the others around him, that was until Calea finally decided to open her mouth.

"Haaa.. Shit, you're all really a piece of shit." She said quietly.

Sword pulled his head back from Calea, he didn't expect her to say something after being silent that long, and when she did opened her mouth, the first thing she said were also unexpected, it was a double surprise.

"Hm?" Sword said, he tried to get Calea to repeat what she just said earlier. "Did you say something? lil'miss?"

SWOOP!

In an instant, Calea pulled Sword's cloak towards her, she grabbed the rough fabrics using her hands and forced her eyes onto him, her grip was strong and the cloak almost got ripped because of it, however it was none of her business.

"So what? You want to kill me? Do you not realize that you, the so called 'Instructors' that possessed unimaginable strength, couldn't even bring down that Golem? How long are you going to fight? Your aura can't slice through mountains or cliffs isn't it?" Calea said menacingly, her tone was threatening, she didn't joke about one thing in her sentence, she really meant what she said, and that recklessness or perhaps boldness is what intrigues Sword to take a liking to her.

"Haha, now your face isn't so pretty anymore, you look more like a slut that got raised in the slums– Did you think, i wouldn't kill you just because you're a mage?" Sword replied back, his words now also starting to sound serious and deep, his smile also faded with that last sentence.

"You wont." Calea said, confident that her status as a mage was valuable enough for Sword to not kill her.

"...What makes you think that– You're walking on a thin ice here." Sword also pulled Calea's shirt towards him, since her clothes was way more fragile than his, it slowly got torn apart. The ripped clothes revealed Calea's cleavage, her body was dirty, as expected with how her lives has been going for the past month.

"...If you fight that golem, it'll took more than 10 minutes to defeat it right? Do you think that in those 10 minutes, there'll be no destruction? Your house got destroyed, and soon, all of your precious slaves, they might get killed too." Calea claimed, her smile gets wider as she continued her sentence. "That Golem wouldn't let itself be destroyed without putting up a fight, and when it realized that it can't win against all of you, what do you think will happen? will it.. Stay still?.. Or will it, run away?"

"...You know about our house being on the cliff, that means– I assume you also know all of the camp location, right?" Sword replied, his threatening tone was slowly fading.

"It's not that hard to realize if you use your brain even just a little bit, you people are way dumber than i thought. If you let that Golem trample all over the forest, won't you lost many of your slaves? Whats with your goal of creating a merciless weapon on the battlefield? Is it a failure?" Calea said, she keep on pressing Sword, her way of words are surprisingly winning against him.

"...You crazy bitch, haha.. I see now, you're way better than i thought, it's making my heart throbbing.." Sword replied, his smile came back, he admitted to have lost against Calea in this battle of wits and argument. "You know, i don't care about everyone else, what i want is infront of me already.."

Sword then hugged Calea out of the blue, he surrounds her with his hands and tightly squeezed her, not letting go as his strength was way stronger than Calea.

"Keukk!.. Let– me.. Go, you fucker, i'll kill you.. I'll fucking kill you!" Calea said angrily, her eyes were glowing, her veins protruding, and she could feel something hitting her thighs.

Upon hearing Calea's complain and plea, Sword then let go of Calea, he was ecstatic to have found someone like her, it was like a blessing to him.

"Aaahhh.. You're so weak, so fragile.. But you aren't scared.. I will make sure to raise you, until you are able to fulfill our wish." He said weirdly, his tone was grossing Calea off, and his stare was intense and it pierces through Calea's body.

"...Bastard, like hell i would be with you." Calea replied. "Release my collar, and i will kill that Golem."

"...." Sword was being silent after Calea had requested to be released from her collar, it seems like he was thinking about it, and after a while, he looked at her once again and then..

"No." Sword said sternly, nailing his answer to the ground, permanently sealing it.
