I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 397 Soulmate and Vow

"I know.. And you try to get my first kiss through that." said Extalia with a smile.

"Well, it's certainly a good idea until you suddenly beat me up. But I don't regret it cause your first kiss is too precious." said Leon.

"Pfft… But, you still stole my first kiss anyway." said Extalia.

"Err.. Are you talking about when we get stuck inside the underwater cavern after trying to get away from that abomination fish?" asked Leon.

Reminiscing on her memory, Extalia couldn't help but blush.

"Come to think of it… You always saved me just when I was about to die. I also have this body and speed, thanks to you. Yet, I try to blame you and push you away. I am horrible…" said Extalia.

Before Extalia could continue, Leon kissed her to stop her from speaking further.

After Extalia calmed down, "Lia, you are never wrong. I didn't save you because you need to repay me. I just happen to be at the right place and time." said Leon softly.

"Liar!! Y-You are using your precious elixir to save me despite barely knowing me." said Extalia.

"Then, how should I react? Letting you die while covered in your own blood before my eyes. " said Leon.

"I don't know, but you should not use that elixir for me. You barely know me and it is practically my own fault at that time. I am not worthy of that." said Extalia.

"Lia, I never even once regretted using the elixir to heal you back then. Besides, I was still twelve at that time and that was the first time I saw so much blood at once. I kinda freak out" replied Leon.

"But, I keep being mean to you. I hurt you.. I push you aside. I.. I blame you for my unhappiness. I even blame you for why you saved me back then just to make me have this false hope." said Extalia.

"Lia, Answer me honestly. Did you love me?" asked Leon.

"I.. Love you, Leon. I will always love you. I can't not love you. Since the first time you saved me from failing to form my core with that elixir, I have always loved you.

"I never hate you even once. Sure, I find you annoying sometimes. But, I also love that part of you." confessed Extalia earnestly.

"I know I can't be together with you. You have already contracted marriage with Dahlia and I thought if I keep pushing you out, I will forget you. But, when I hear you are going to the Endless battlefield dimension, I couldn't help but worry and decide to follow you."

"I just.. never expected my feelings towards you were getting stronger and you also started to love me. Although we almost died countless times, it was the best moment in my life."

"When we back from that dimension, I get hit by reality and know that I need to push you aside once more. But.. I am too deeply in love with you. I can't forget you no matter what I do. No matter how many men I have met, I always remember you and never let them touch me."

"It feels like my body, heart and soul are only yours to claim." rambled Extalia while burying her head on Leon's chest.

Embracing Extalia in his arm, "Lia, did you remember where we got the bracelets?" asked Leon.

"Of course. That place is where I had the most precious moment in my life. You take my first time and we fuck like a dog in the heat. I don't think I will ever have that kind of climax again in my entire life." said Extalia while blushing.

"Well, that's actually the test fault. What crazy person put a test while making them highly aroused?! Moreover, you are practically in so much pain when trying to hold yourself at that time. I just can't bear seeing you in pain." said Leon.

"Anyway, did you remember some unknown symbol language at that ruin entrance?" asked Leon.

"I think I remember it is just some unknown rune-like language on the top of the entrance. What about it?" asked Extalia.

"I managed to translate the words around a few weeks ago." said Leon.

"Ehh.. How could you remember the exact word?" asked Extalia.

"Perk of being a seventh grade, we have practically an eidetic memory. I could even trace the memory of when I was born as a baby." said Leon.

"No wonder. You become a lot smarter after reaching seventh grade." commented Extalia.

"Hey, I'm always smart. Anyway, before I tell you the sentence, I want you to know I really only managed to translate it recently because of the book I received from Jade's son. So, what I said is the truth." clarified Leon.

"Yeah… Yeah.. Just tell me what it is already." said Extalia as she got impatient.

"Only soulmates could survive." said Leon.

"Huh?? Soulmates?" asked Extalia confusedly.

"Yeah. It said only soulmates could survive." said Leon.

"Soulmates? You don't mean… We are…" asked Extalia with a hopeful face.

"Yes, Lia. We are soulmates." reassures Leon.

"B-But… That's only some urban legend for teenage girls." said Extalia.

"Legend could also come from the truth sometime. We are already inseparable from the start Lia." said Leon.

"N-No way." said Extalia while crying and closing her mouth with her hand in shock.

Soulmates is actually a widespread belief in the circle of teenage girls when they are starting to reach puberty. According to the legend, men and women are always created in pairs. Most people never find their pair.

However, they become inseparable when they find each other and start having contact. Legend said even the seventh-grade combatant could never separate them as the world itself protected their love.

Seeing the crying Extalia while burying her body in his chest, "Lia…" called Leon.

"T-This must be a dream. I must have fallen asleep on the top of the wall. Yeah, there is no way Leon will kiss me like that and he will hug me like this. There is no way I am his soulmate. This must be a dream. This is too good to be true." said Extalia in denial.

"Lia, this is real. Everything is real." said Leon softly while caressing her cheeks.

"Hiks.. Hiks… Leon.. I.. I.. am glad. I am glad I am your soulmate. I…" said Extalia while crying again.

"Shhh.. It's okay. I understand. You can let it out, Lia." said Leon.

Leon knows how much pain Extalia carries by herself all these years. All he could do now was give the woman he loves a shoulder dearly to lean on and let her release all her buried emotion.

Extalia may be a fearsome combatant. However, Leon knows that she is a fragile woman who wants nothing but his love, especially after dozens of years of trying to deny her feelings for him. After a while of crying, Extalia finally calms down in Leon's embrace.

They are sitting down and cuddling, feeling each other warm as if trying to mend their inside after the long years of pain.

"Leon, I… I don't want to go back. I want to be with you like this forever. I can't bear to be separated from you again. Please.. Stay here with me forever." begged Extalia.

"Lia, you know we can't do that." replied Leon shortly.

Hearing Leon's reply, Extalia looks down.

"Right, you are a king. You also have family and kingdom to take care of." said Extalia.

"Lia.. I…" said Leon.

"It's fine, Leon. I.. I am already glad that I am your soulmate. I should not ask for more." said Extalia, interrupting Leon's words.

Then, Leon becomes silent and closes his eyes. Suddenly, he opens his eyes and releases an unknown aura towards the surroundings.

"I, Leon Heart, King of Heart Kingdom, vow never to let Extalia Amberblaze feel alone again by staying on her side." said Leon in an ethereal voice like declaring to the world itself.

Seeing this, Extalia becomes surprised and immediately grabs Leon.

"Leon, what are you doing? Stop it!! Take it back!!" said Extalia in worry.

The vow is a mysterious binding contract that everyone could use. However, Vow will become stronger according to the person's power. An ordinary person could break a vow without receiving any penalty.

On the other hand, it is an entirely different story if the one that makes the vows is seventh-grade people. Not only does the vow force the user to keep the Vow, but it also has a huge penalty if they forcefully break it. As for the penalty, no one knows but Death is the lightest penalty.

Hence, Vows from seventh-grade people are very dangerous and need to be used carefully. In some sense, it is even worse than a soul-binding contract.

"I can't, Lia. It's already happened. Besides, I should have done this many years ago." replied Leon.

"Why? Why are you making a vow? You didn't need to…" asked Extalia.

"Lia, did you know why I keep becoming king and trying hard to protect our kingdom?" asked Leon, cutting Extalia's answer.

Extalia didn't answer as she also didn't know the exact answer.

"Many seventh grade nation leaders pass the kingdom's matter to their retainer, but I still insist on doing it by myself. All of this because I want to protect the home of my love." said Leon.
