There were around ten plates made of bamboo lying on the grass beside the camp . There were black bamboo shoots, white caterpillars, animal fur, and other random items, all bathing in the sunlight .
A girl that was around 14 years old in short leather skirt and tight leather armor was picking the bamboo plates up carefully .
The chilling wind was blowing the girl's long blonde hair, revealing she had a clean and pretty face . There was a thin birthmark on her forehead but it was barely noticeable .
The wind was getting stronger and stronger . The leaves were almost flying on the branches .
"It's about to rain, hurry up, Fra!" A man's voice came from the tent behind the girl .
The man was by the entrance of the tent, watching Fra picking up all the plates .
"Another boring day…" the man said and yawned .
The man had long dark-red hair trailing over his shoulders, an average-looking face, and looked lazy . The mustache on his chin looked a bit strange . It was Angele—he rested for a while after Heli and Cynthia left .
Fra turned around and glared at Angele .
"If you're bored, why don't you come and help me?"
"You can do that by yourself, right?" Angele lay down and looked at the sky . "Fra, I think your body is growing well . "
Fra blushed after hearing these words; she slowed down a bit .
The short skirt and the leather armor were both tight; she purchased them when she was 13 years old and the clothes were getting too small for her after she turned 14 .
The girl's body was above average for her age—long legs, smooth skin, and slim waist . She almost looked like a well-made doll . Also, her breasts were larger than before and she had cherry-pink lips . Some of Fra's hair was flying in the air .
The girl was young but she might become a beauty after she grew up . The scene of Fra running around and picking up plates was quite interesting .
Angele was looking at the sky but he would glance at Fra from time to time .
"Your birthmark will be completely removed after you apply the potion I made for you on it several more times," he advised . "You were born with the birthmark but it can be removed . "
Angele felt happy as he looked at Fra, he felt like that he was treating the girl as his daughter .
Fra was an average-looking girl and her face was covered with freckles . Her skin's condition got worse after she left the town . The sword technique training helped her build up muscles so she never looked like a cute girl from the city .
However, Angele decided to help Fra as they traveled together . He added the potions he made into Fra's diet—the potions made her skin smooth and elastic . He would also burn herbal incense during the night to help her body grow .
Fra's overall condition was improved after several months, she looked just like a girl that was cute and attractive . The only problem was that Angele used too many effective herbs and it seemed like he overdid it a bit .
"Don't you think you're much more beautiful than before? I'm the one who helped you . " Angele was proud .
"What does that even mean?" Fra walked to the cart and put the bamboo plates down . "I'll become a legendary knight one day! A legendary knight's body is usually covered with scars . There's no point for me to have nice and clean skin . "
Angele sighed speechlessly . "You should be more polite and gentler when talking . If you can do that, you'll be perfect . "
He just assumed that Fra wanted a beautiful face and a nice body . He forgot that Fra had always wanted to become a knight .
"I've already told you that . " Fra walked to Angele while breathing heavily . The bamboo plates were quite heavy . She put her hands on her waist and said, "I'm going to become a legendary knight!"
"You'll get married one day, kid…" Angele pursed his lips .
"Get married? I don't think so . " Fra's expression turned serious . "Actually, we should get married . I'm your woman already, right? Also, my stomach doesn't feel well recently, am I pregnant?"
Angele shook his head . "Pregnant? No… We do sleep in the same cart but we don't even share the same blanket, how do you even get pregnant?" He put his right hand on the forehead . Angele was having trouble explaining everything to her .
"Anyway, you're the only one that would take care of me right now…" Fra looked a bit depressed . "My mother said that it was not hard to bear a child . She told me that it was just like puking . The child will come out of my mouth, right?" Fra continued .
"What are you talking about…" Angele inhaled deeply and was about to teach Fra some knowledge .
"Huh? The weather vane is pointing in the wrong direction . " Fra suddenly stepped forward and adjusted the bronze weather vane . Angele was lying on the ground so he could easily see what was under her skirt .
"Come on…" Angele was speechless .
'I've lived for so long that I shouldn't find this young girl sexually attractive…' The girl's legs were right above his head .
'Well, I should probably move…'
Angele turned around and returned into the tent . He was sexually aroused for some reason but he knew that Fra would never become his partner . Fra was a mortal and Angele was a bloodline inheritor, their life expectancy was way too different .
It had been years since the last time he had sex with a woman . Angele put all his efforts into his research; he helped Fra because he was the reason why her family suffered . Although Fra was attractive to him, he always treated her like his daughter .
"That's a problem…" Angele inhaled deeply, a father should never get sexually aroused because of his daughter . He felt guilty that he had such a feeling .
"Hey, why did you go back to the tent? Our conversation hasn't finished yet . " Fra's voice came from outside the tent .
"I don't want to do anything inappropriate to you," Angele responded honestly .
"Inappropriate? Well, I can understand . You're a man and I'm a woman…" Fra entered the tent as well . She moved to Angele and lay down .
"I don't mind . My mother said that virginity isn't worth a thing . However, we've been sleeping in the same tent for a long time and you never did anything to me . "
Angele still felt speechless after hearing those words .
*RUMBLE*
They suddenly heard thunder rumbling . The first raindrop landed on the tent, it was followed by the second and the third one . The rain got heavy quickly and the noise was extremely loud .
The tent was perfect for two people and the entrance could be sealed . There was a white bed, some clothes, and books in the tent . There was also a small window on the wall; they could see the outside through the window .
Angele sealed the entrance so the rain would not get into the tent . He turned around and saw that Fra already fell asleep . She was sleeping with her legs and arms open, it almost looked like that it was a boy that was sleeping .
He covered Fra with a blanket and it felt like he was taking care of a kid again . Angele enjoyed living with people like Fra . Fra was a simple girl that lost her family . . . Angele wondered if she would seek revenge in the future . He felt relaxed when Fra was around .
Time passed . The rain was getting heavier and heavier .
Lightning flashed in front of the window and brightened up the dark tent slightly .
Angele noticed that Fra's eyes opened slowly and she was staring at him . It seemed like she was woken up by the lightning and the thunder .
"Green…"
"Huh?" Angele straightened up his back and stood in front of the window with his legs crossed . He watched the rain pour as the forest was blurred by the raindrops in his sight .
"Why did you save me?" Fra suddenly questioned . She thought a lot during the trip .
"Why did I save you? I'm afraid that I can't answer this question . " Angele looked out of the window, he thought of Vivian and recalled all the things he did for the wizards .
Fra sat up and looked at Angele .
"I never understood . I asked a girl that was older than me and she taught me a lot . Also, I rethought this whole thing…" She stopped for a second and continued, "Because of me, you can't find a safe place to live, and you had to stay in this forest . We're lucky that we didn't encounter any beast but why are you helping me?" She looked out of the window as well and lowered his voice . "I have nothing to pay you back with . I think you know that . "
"Well, I hired you, right? You work for me and I'll feed you . It's a fair trade . " Angele smiled . "Don't overthink it, kid . "
Angele noticed that Fra hugged him from back before he could finish these words . He could feel the warm body of the girl .
Fra put her head on Angele's right shoulder .
"I'm not a kid anymore," Fra responded in a low voice . "I've read a lot of novels . "
She moved closer to Angele as she spoke . Her face blushed and it looked like she was about to cry .
"Girl…" Angele turned around and grabbed Fra's hand .
"You're young and there's a bright future in front of you, also…" he suddenly stopped after seeing the tears that were running down Fra's cheeks .
"I have nothing left… You're the only one that's always by my side…" Fra cried . She sounded confused and helpless .
Fra was scared . The man in front of her had a mysterious background . She thought the man was just a boss of a pawnshop in the town, however, after they traveled together for a while, she realized that the situation was more complicated than she'd thought .
Also, how Angele healed Heli and Cynthia seemed impossible to her . She thought only the God had the ability to heal wounds like that . Fra finally realized that she never knew what the lazy boss was capable of .
She had this strange feeling that Angele was right in front of her but he was from a completely different world .
Fra would wake up at midnight from time to time due to the nightmares that were bothering her . She was desperate and depressed in the endless darkness of the night .
She was scared that Angele would leave without her knowing one night . She was scared that she would no longer be able to find Angele after she woke up at midnight .
"Alright, don't worry…" Angele hugged Fra and rubbed her hair .
"I'm right beside you…"
He looked at Fra's face . The girl was still a kid, however, Fra reminded him of the two other children he had taken care of .
Fra fell asleep in Angele's arms after she got tired .
Angele started thinking as he looked at the heavy rain outside the window .
