Chapter 100: Saving Luna's Parents
Luna, who was wiping away the tears she had shed, suddenly stopped, her surprised eyes turning to Theos after his question.
Possibly because she hadn\'t quite processed the words or because of how sudden it was, but she was petrified of shock. Still, their lips curved upward in a smile full of unconscious happiness that Theos expected to see.
Seeing the smile blossom on Luna\'s face, Theos smiled as well, but this time a sincere smile, glad to see his "wife\'s" smile.
"I love you too," she declared, rushing over to give Theos a big hug.
He grabbed her in mid-air, chuckling, the two of them stayed in that position for a while, enjoying each other\'s warmth and heartbeat.
"We missed class..." she whispered.
Theos nodded. "Yeah, it\'s the first time I didn\'t keep my word, I promised Alice I was going to be in the class, but it\'s no longer possible...".
"Still, it was worth it," he said, hugging Luna tighter.
"Hehehe" the warm giggle sounded like little bells to Theos, so pleasant that he felt bad to part from her.
But still, he stopped hugging her, this time looking at her with a serious expression. "Now then, we must save your parents, however, I must first ask a favor of someone to do so."
The deep and grave words, plus Theos\' serious face made Luna serious as well. She nodded, agreeing.
Seeing Luna\'s confirmation, Theos continued. "Well, it depends on what she tells me, we are going to go get some medicine that will be able to cure your parents, depending on her if we go today or tomorrow, but I will try by all means possible to go today."
Theos wanted to go today for these simple reasons: First, so Luna wouldn\'t miss any more classes, and second and more importantly, to save Luna\'s parents faster.
What ensured that they would still be alive after years? Exactly... Nothing, no one could assure anything, not even Theos could know... They could even die tomorrow and no one could foresee it.
History had changed too much. First, Luna\'s parents had a serious illness and now a curse; what could he foresee now?
Luna smiled again, approaching Theos and giving him a tender kiss. "Thank you so much for helping me... If I can help in any way, please call me," she commented, giving him a radiant smile.
He nodded goodbye to turn and walk away, aiming to find the only woman who could help him now.
Luna stood there, silent, with a soft smile on her face and a small blush on both of her cheeks.
For her, it was all a rather sudden and strange dream, but one that she enjoyed every moment... Each one, she was moved, she was surprised, she felt happy and she felt... Completely loved.
However, thinking about Theos\' last words, she frowned. \'He said he was going to ask someone for a favor... But then he refers to that someone as her, it should be a woman...\' she concluded, analyzing every word he had said.
Instantly she felt jealous, but she did not pursue Theos. She knew he loved her and that alone was enough.
Turning away, she walked away. Not realizing that her expression showed her extreme infatuation, madness, and obsession.
…
"I never thought to look for her so soon," Theos muttered to himself, walking farther and farther away from the first-year Zone.
In the second-year Zone, the students watched with surprised expressions as Theos walked slowly forward. His walk and his gaze, only fixed straight ahead, indicated that he was heading towards... The third year.
Each one walked away, mostly because all the second years watching him were from regular classes; they didn\'t have much to do against the direct successor of a Duke, as well as an unparalleled genius.
Slowly, Theos entered the Third Year Zone, where, unlike the other Zones, it was guarded by different guards.
But those guards said nothing at all when they saw Theos\' left eye, completely crimson in color.
Who didn\'t know the only man in the world known for having one eye crimson and the other black as ink? Everyone knew him, anyone in the world.
The guards put up no resistance and without saying a word, let him in.
Theos didn\'t say a word either. He had grown accustomed to the corruption of the academy, though they might not possibly be like that with small nobles or great nobles, the difference in how they treated him was different.
But this did not bother him at all. He went straight to his target or at least, where most likely his target is... The Third Year Class Zero.
Perhaps because the third-year students had classes at this time, not a single student was seen walking around the buildings in the Zone.
This made it easier to get around the buildings in the Zone. Remembering the place where the novel featured the Third Year Class Zero building, Theos stood in front of that very building... The biggest building he had ever seen.
Theos had to look up to the sky, but still, you couldn\'t manage to see the boundary of the building... \'I wonder... Is it necessary to do it like this or is it just because it looks more intimidating and cool?\' he wondered inwardly.
Seeing the guards blocking the way into the Building, Theos quickly pulled out his ID as a first-year Class Zero student.
This he was doing so he wouldn\'t get in trouble and waste time. He knew very well that the latter guards were much, much stricter.
Noting Theos\' ID card in the distance, the guards nodded, stepping to the side, leaving him completely free to enter the building.
\'I guess I\'m the first to use the Class Zero advantage,\' Theos chuckled, entering the building with only one goal...
Finding Camila Draco.
