-Well, those are all the skills I acquired, surely you've already noticed, but the only skill I could teach you is [Divine Channeling]. Although I could show you the others if you wish.
-No, I'm not really much for praying and being devout, to tell the truth I don't think I could be suitable, although I would like to see you use them, if possible of course.
-Of course, I would love to do it, but could you do me a favor first?
-Of course, what is it?
-To get to know each other a little better, hmmm, you could tell me about yourself, of course, I'll also tell you about myself if that's okay with you...
Zhalika was saying that with a slight blush.
´She looks beautiful!!!!´ - Of course, tell me, what would you like to know?
-Well, for starters, where are you from? That hair color is not typical of this kingdom, and I don't remember seeing someone with the same hair color in other kingdoms.
-I don't know, when I was born, I was raised by my grandparents, but they never told me about my parents or my roots, although I suppose my parents also had the same hair color
-I see, actually, that's why I chose you, you know.
-?
-After the hero thing happened, I started to have certain visions thanks to [Divine Vision] and I always saw a black-haired boy next to me and he was just wearing the same clothes that you have right now, at first, I told him to my father who wanted to marry you, but I wasn't 100% sure, but I was convinced when I saw you. And in fact….
-In fact….
-Like the other heroes, I can't clearly see your future, I can only see you, fighting together with me and other girls with someone who has the same hair color as yours.
"Girls? Fighting with someone with the same hair color as me?" Does that mean I can kill the hero?
-Yes, but as I told you, both your future and that of the heroes is so uncertain that this fight may never come and we end up dead before. Remember that the future is uncertain.
-You're right… but do you think I have a chance against him?
-Against bael? You won't be able to win against him, unless in a head-on fight, so you only have one chance and with your plan you might be able to do it, but if you don't, rest assured that death will wait for you, no, it doesn't just wait for you awaits you too, my father, my mother and me, besides, surely the doom of the kingdom would be assured
-...
-Well, let's not think about the uncertain, let alone something that hasn't even happened, so let's keep talking, okay?
-Yeah
-Do you have brothers?
-Yes, I have an older brother, but I haven't heard from him for a long time. Kaito answered with melancholy, Zhalika realized that and decided not to continue asking more about it.
-Are you good with something besides magic?
-Yes, I'm good with swords
-Really?
-Well, I wouldn't say that I'm as good as a swordsman, but at least I defend myself, and it's thanks to the labyrinth
-That's great, don't you want to grab some of the swords that are in the cellar, surely they will be useful for you?
-No, thank you very much, I'm fine with this sword. He replied with a smile on his face.
-If it's what you want, that's fine, I respect your decision, but even so you should take a spare at least, I assure you that it will help you
-Yes, thank you very much.
-By the way, when you saw that sword, you saw it with a smile, but at the same time with a slight touch of sadness, I can know the reason
-You see, this sword was given to me by Bakari
-Bakari?
-Yes, the hero killed him along with his daughter Saigara
-So that's your reason for wanting revenge against him, huh?
-Yeah
-Do you want to know the reason why I killed her?
-You know?
-Of course I know, although it's more of a supposition, although I don't think it's wrong, do you still want to know?
-Yes, at least I would like to know, it was something I wanted to ask him directly but I will probably never be able to do it
-You're right, you'll see, Bael is someone who doesn't tolerate people talking bad about him, he's not very tolerant and as you might have imagined, most of the kingdom, if not everything, praise him a lot, and when someone hears that they talk bad about He just doesn't tolerate it, since it would hurt his ego, so surely that friend of yours was overheard talking about him.
"That's why he did it?"
Kaito's voice made Zhalika tremble slightly, that voice really was so heartless and bloodthirsty that even Tor himself, a person who has already fought several battles, made her tremble in the same way as her daughter.
-May I know the reason why he abused you?
-I'll tell you, Kaito, although it's not a very pleasant story to hear, do you still want to know?
-Yes, please tell me.
-You see, when the 6 heroes arrived in Luxor, they were received directly by the royal family here in the castle, in fact they stayed to sleep here during all the time they stayed in the kingdom and in the first meeting, Bael supposedly really stayed. in love with me and others as they were aware of my healing ability, they told me that I would be suitable to go along with them, something that made my parents get excited as well as the people of the kingdom, although their emotion was much greater when He openly told everyone that I would be his official wife, and as the days passed, the attitudes of the heroes were strange, it was as if they only pretended to be something that they are not and one day, Bael told me to sleep with him, obviously I rejected it, after all my first time I would give it to someone I love and if I was going to go with them to defeat the demon king, the skill [Holy Blessing] would be very helpful, another reason why I didn't accept it either, Bael clung to the idea that since we were going to get married, it didn't matter, even so I kept refusing and ended up leaving quite angry, in fact I naively thought that perhaps I had done something wrong by rejecting a hero, but precisely that night I get to my room without anyone listening and well... you know what happened
Zhalika told her story with regret for her, something that made Kaito bring her closer to her chest without uttering a single word.
-Fufuf, thanks Kaito, I honestly thought you wouldn't hug me
-Because?
-Because you seem to be someone quite shy
-I see
-Close your eyes for a moment, okay?
-OK
At that moment, Zhalika took Kaito's lips.
_-That is my reward for making me believe that you would not come, silly.
