Fulilian: Dominate Aura at the beginning

Chapter 42: A Daily Couple's Day (Part 2): Noon

At noon——

On the outskirts of the imperial capital, "Esberg", in Luvina Village.

By the trickling river, a little girl was washing clothes, looking a little dazed.

Her large grey eyes blinked.

She stared blankly at the couple having a picnic not far from her.

It's not because I envy their exquisite clothes.

But because she saw——

The older sister sitting on a big rock by the river was waving a skewer of grilled fish at her.

After making sure there was no one else around, the little girl pointed at herself.

After receiving confirmation from Volame—

Her throat seemed to be hoarse for a moment and she didn't know what to say.

Frankly speaking...

She really didn't understand why this couple, who were dressed like aristocrats, greeted her so enthusiastically.

But because of being an orphan since childhood, I was wary of...

She just stood there motionless.

And be ready to throw down your clothes and run away at any moment.

........................

Looking at the little girl standing in the distance who was unwilling to get close no matter what.

Volame glanced at the tempting grilled fish in his hand.

Then she turned and looked at her husband's expressionless face.

"Agusid," Volame said with certainty.

"Look at you, you have a stern face all the time, and you scared the kids."

Agushide sighed and retorted calmly:

"I don't think I'm the one scaring the kids—"

"Relatively speaking, you're the one who looks more suspicious."

As he spoke, he looked at the little girl who was still standing there alert.

After seeing a few wild fruits and half a piece of black bread pinned next to her washed-out dress.

Agushide picked up a grilled fish and stood up under Volame's gaze.

He pointed to the wild fruits around the little girl's waist, and then to the grilled fish in his hand.

"We're still short of some fruit for lunch. Can I trade this for some with you?"

Agushid's words sounded cold, even a little stiff.

But the little girl seemed to like it.

After the aroma of grilled fish slowly penetrates into the nose.

The little girl swallowed and nodded heavily.

The exchange went smoothly, and Agusid and Volame had a few more wild fruits in their hands.

The little girl ran away after getting the grilled fish.

Finally, it stopped more than 20 meters away from them.

"Look, it's obvious that you scared her."

After the demonstration, Agushid commented indifferently.

"That's too hurtful..."

Volame sighed, realizing that his popularity wasn't as good as the demons'—

She slowly leaned on her husband's shoulder.

Agushide handed her another grilled fish and asked softly:

"Why did you suddenly think of going out for a picnic..."

"During normal holidays, at this time, wouldn't you love supervising Fulilian's magic practice the most?"

Volame took a bite of the delicious grilled fish and responded to her husband's question softly in satisfaction.

"Because Fulilian complains every day that I give her too little vacation time, and today I just want to be alone with you-"

"So, to have the best of both worlds, I came up with this great idea of ​​a picnic."

Looking at Volame, who seemed to be so happy, Agusid shook his head slightly. Although it sounded like a completely unreliable reason...

But it seems to fit Volame's character unexpectedly...

I picked up the wild fruit I had exchanged for, not caring about its appearance or variety.

Agushid took a light bite and the response was the expected sour taste.

"Volamei, is there anything about this village that interests you?"

He glanced at the unremarkable village in the distance and the equally unremarkable little girl not far away.

Aguishid asked.

"what?"

Volame tilted his head, as if he didn't understand what Agusid meant.

"You chose this place specifically because you wanted to see the scenery of this village, right?"

As Agushide said this, he took another bite of the sour wild fruit.

"But I have no recollection of ever having been to this village."

"So...what made you come here to take a look?"

Volame, whose true intention was guessed by Agusid, felt helpless.

"Why do I feel like I have fewer and fewer secrets in front of you..."

Volame straightened up and gently swung her legs as she sat on the big rock.

Agushide said nothing, but just looked at her quietly.

Half a minute passed in silence.

Volame felt a little embarrassed by her husband's gaze and gently pushed his shoulder.

"Actually... there's no particular reason."

She held her head and looked towards the village in the distance where smoke was rising from chimneys, her voice soft.

"It's just that a few days ago, when I was sorting out old books, I happened to come across a travel journal of my teacher."

Agusid raised his brows and put down the wild fruit in his hand.

"Does it say there's any unique scenery nearby?"

Volame nodded slightly, and she focused her gaze on the simple river in front of her.

"The teacher's diary said that in the mythical era of the past."

"Whenever the sun reaches its highest point in the day, the river here is cast with a strange magic."

"As long as you inject magic power into the river, the image of the magician will be recorded."

Having said this, Volame paused, her fingertips unconsciously twirling around the ends of her hair.

"Although I know that after so many years, the magic may have dissipated long ago..."

"But I don't know why, but I suddenly wanted to come and see it."

Agusid followed her gaze and looked—

The water flowed quietly without any sign of magic.

"You want to leave an image here... why?"

Volame chuckled softly upon hearing this expected question.

She turned around and looked at Aguishid, who had never changed at all since they met.

“Because I want to be remembered.”

Volame smiled and put his hand on the side of Agusid's face.

"It's the same reason why I erect bronze statues everywhere I travel—"

“I want to pass on my appearance and story.”

Agushide said nothing, but just looked at Volame in silence.

After getting the answer, he wanted to turn away.

But he was stunned by Volame's next gentle words——

"And, most importantly..."

Volame swung her legs and looked tenderly at her unromantic husband.

"I don't want you to be alone in the future..."

The next chapter will probably be at 2:30, so you can read it tomorrow when you wake up.
