Book 13: Chapter 37


    I arrived outside Ying and Xias room. I took in a deep breath before I knocked. I heard clothing rustle on the other side of the door. I assumed Ying was trying to stand up. Yings wound had healed, but I assumed she was still weak. Anybody who was stabbed through their gut and pinned to the ground for several hours would need a long rest, surely.


    They both seemed to be awake, so I didnt have to worry about them being nude, since they were sleeping. I opened the door to save Ying the need to stand up. Lucia vigntly looked around from my side. She was ready to shove me back outside at any moment. She was focused on being my bodyguard and ready to keep me safe at all times.


    Ying wouldnt thrust a de over, would she? I wondered.


    I opened the door to see Xia silently lying on the ground. Her ck hair was syed out, making it appear simr to a dark pool. She wore a long ck robe in the same model as Yings. The side of her face looked both pure and radiant. Her facial features were most pleasing to the eye. The two of them clung to each other; I could seemingly see their tongues entangled with each other and saliva between them. Xia was still. She allowed her sister to move about. Ying kissed Xia without any expression. It was as though I could see pink flower petals filling the room.


    That Uh, Umm


    Lucia went red in the face and ears at the sight she beheld. She covered her eyes, not daring to look at the scene. She knew what the sisters were doing, but she probably never imagined two girls would be so intimate  not to mention that the two of them were sisters. If you looked at the scene purely from an artistic standpoint, it would be a very gorgeous scene


    Wait. My foot it is! I cursed myself, as a scene of Mommy Elizabeth and Mommy Vyvyan engaging in the same act immediately popped up in my mind.


    Maybe it would be the other way around. Mommy Vyvyan was more assertive than Mommy Elizabeth. I reckon it would be Mommy Vyvyan who initiated it. The two of them locked in tight together. Mommy Elizabeths gaze and the seductive way Mommy Vyvyan licks her lips


    Thats way too hot Stop, stop I cant be getting a hard on now I stopped myself.


    Ah, you two.


    Upon seeing us, Ying let go then sat square to the side. She looked expressionless as usual in spite of what she was just doing in our presence. In fact, she didnt even blush. I felt awkward, as I didnt know what to say to her. However, she didnt seem to hold strong prejudice views against us for what transpiredst night. That baffled me.


    It was tantly obvious that Ying strongly cared for the vigers; otherwise, she wouldnt have gone to such lengths to protect them, yet she was calm to an astonishing extent after the fact. She didnt sling a de at me as soon as she heard my voice. I was very eager to know what exactly Ying was thinking. I hesitated for a long time before deciding it was best to apologise: Ying, Im sorry.


    My Nier did kill the people Ying wanted to protect, and she wounded her. Nier didnt hold back. She was genuinely trying to kill Ying and torture her. She wanted Ying to witness her kill everybody she wanted to protect before letting her bleed to death. If Ying was your average every day individual, shed be dead already. No questions about it.


    Ying shook her head: No, its not your fault. Rather, it was my fault. Those people hurt you. Miss Nier felt the same way I did. She, too, wanted to protect you. They hurt you; as your bodyguard, its within her duty to defeat the assant. If I am to me anything, I would only have my inferior swordy to me.


    Actually, your swordy is very good. There are very few who can fight on par with Nier. She probably wouldnt have had it so easy if you didnt have your chest wound.


    Ying pursed her lips: No, you dont need tofort me. I knew that I wasnt a match for her when we exchanged blows. She merely held back at the start. She seemed to have qualms about hurting me. I now have no home to return to; fortunately, I have my sister with me. We were nning to leave this ce and go elsewhere. We will leave in a few days time, and you can go home, as well. I enjoyed my time with you.


    Ying wore a straight face. She didnt have any family, so where would she go after leaving the ind. What, find another small vige, protect the people there and go through it again? Ying might be able to stand it, but what about Xia? They had both been out in the world for too long and should have a cosy home to return to. The ind wouldnt do and neither would the outside world. I hoped they coulde to the North or, at the very least, Troy City.


    You have somewhere to go?


    There will surely be somece.


    I asked, Im not talking about somewhere to live, but a ce you can reside at in peace. Where are you going to take Xia? Shes in a very poor condition right now. Do you think she can handle long journeys, poor nutrition and living conditions?


    Ying didnt reply. She, instead, silently looked at Xia. Xia didnt respond in any way. She seemed to be deep asleep the entire time. Completely derailing off topic, Ying asked, Do you know where my sabre is?


    I hesitated for a moment before replying: Nier has cleaned it for you. Its right at the door.


    No, I meant the former sabre that was overflowing with hatred. The one that killed the five children, which was also the original weapon I used tobat the wyrm. That sabre can deal irreversible damage to the wyrm. Thats the only weapon that will allow me to y the wyrm, but I cant let it go berserk again. If it does go berserk again, it wont destroy just one person but several people, meaning everybody around nearby. That sabre is a mass of murderous aura of hatred and souls.


    Ying gently stroked Xias face. In a gentle voice, she said, Xia is that sabre.


    What?


    Im the scabbard, and Xia is the de.


    Ying slowly undid her cor, revealing the wound that, presumably, was inflicted by the wyrm. Lucia swiftly covered my vision so that I wouldnt see Yings skin. Still, I saw it. I saw her smooth chest that no longer had any scars.


    Tone somewhat mncholic, Ying exined, We are spirit sabres. A young man, who once came here, wielded a sabre to protect the vigers. After he passed away, we were left behind. When Xia and I are together, we assume our original forms. We can rapidly heal from any non-lethal wounds inflicted on us with ordinary des. If it is a lethal wound, it will take a bit longer to recover from. Xia has killed too many people and ended up in this shape when the resentment of the people who died aggrieved deaths in the ocean was added. She looks very friendly at the moment, but once we enter battle, Xia will be no different to an evil demon. My job is to not let Xia go berserk; however after the incident with the five children, I noticed I could no longer control her.


    How could I bear to let my sister go through that treatment? Its the only way to prevent her from continuing to lose control, though. Where can I take her? What ce would ept our existence? I dont want to harm others and neither does Xia, but we really dont have a choice. If Xia goes berserk, what do we do? What do we do? What sort of ce could ept us?


    Ying lowered her head. I looked at the two of them. At that point, nothing she said shocked me anymore. I considered the feasibility of them immigrating to the North. I grabbed hold of Lucias hand then looked at Ying. In a serious tone, I asked, Are you willing toe with me?


    ?


    Ying raised her head, questioning what she heard. I could see traces of tears in her eyes. I borated, Are you willing toe with me? I have a ce for you to live. Its very prosperous. If youre willing toe with Xia, we can leave now.


    I


    Your Highness?! eximed Lucia.


    Lucia looked at me with a stunned expression. Her gaze made me feel guilty. However, I honestly didnt want to do anything to Ying. I merely wanted to take them away. I exined to Ying, Xia didnt go berserk when she was by your side. Shell be fine as long as she can live in peace, right? There wont be any fighting there, and Xia can carry on living in peace there. Last time: lets go kill the wyrm, and thene with me.
