Chapter 122: Fall Or Dive In-II
Yet Ian didn't moved his steps played in the edge that had Elise's heart to flip inside her chest from the nervousness on his behalf. Ian replied, "Hm, a hundred years ago, I think, years passes fast and no one took note on it." and a chuckle broke to his lips as if he recalled something, "Well, the people from a hundred years ago had died so I doubt anyone know anything."
"Master Ian." Elise called his name, a certain fear shake her voice she tried to keep evenly. When she saw Ian turning her body slightly toward her, Elise watched how the sun that were orange in color colored his the side of his skin in a vivid honey color. His black hair he let down flew amongst the wind blowing to his face and somehow, Elise could find his freeness that was a different side than Ian who sat on the courtroom a few hours ago. Yet there was something alike in the two side.
Similar to the time Elise watched him sitting on the red couch with his mischief smile weighing people's life whether to kill or not; She found the side of Master Ian where he was alone, enjoying the wind and threading to the last line between death with his dangling feet, was almost similar to earlier in the courtroom. Both sides holding a sense of solicitude.
Some how it felt lonely, Elise thought to herself. Her mind the recalled the words Ian spoke about the undead being, the creature she found she could sympathize with as both of the, hold the same feeling of loneliness.
Elise was in a bubbling nervousness, much more than herself who could have died if she wasn't careful enough while walking on the cliff, her concern was only directed at him.
"What is it, Elise?" asked Ian to her. The sweetness in his voice felt ticklish to Elise who was in a hot nervousness. She could feel how her adrenaline rush, her heartbeat was unstoppable when her eyes fall at his shoes that were so close to the edge.
Elise was afraid he would fall, her head couldn't keep up with the thumping heart that made her become dizzy from the anxiousness.
In hope Ian would take a few steps from the place, Elise who didn't know what to say made the fastest excuse she could fin, "I think we should go back to the castle, the party is in a few hours."
Ian chuckled a wicked smirk came on the corner of his lips, he said, "They could wait, what good if I become a Lord when I couldn't do this much?"
Did he meant by delaying time? Does Master Ian took pride in having others wait for him? Elise questioned herself. She knew it was only useless questions in her mind but she can't help to think and asked much in her mind to keep herself off from Ian who seemed to be wanting to dive into the cliff.
When Ian placed his right foot narrowly away from the last surface the cliff had, he heard how Elise's heartbeat spike that had his smile to turn into a mischievous grin. He continued to tease her by threatening his leg to walk on the air that lead down to the forest that was below the cliff, pulling and pushing his shoes to heat how Elise's heartbeat worsen in worry for him.
"Isn't this place beautiful?" Ian asked her, his face had turned away from her but he could imagine well what kind of expression Elise would have now. One that would be filled with fear and adorably frightful.
Ian was correct, Elise's face couldn't keep up with the fear that her expression show it all the way of how she was scared on Ian's behalf though the man didn't cared about falling at all.
"It is a very beautiful scneary but dangerous." replied Elise but as beautiful the place is, she couldn't enjoy or admire the view like Ian did when her mind keep on focusing to his shoes that teasingly played with the edge of the cliff. If Ian wasn't on the dangerous place, Elise would have been able to enjoy the view, feeling the wind that brushes her long red hair away from the red cloak where it rested on.
"Glad to see that you agree that this place is beautiful. By years and seasons, only the scenery took a shift, when snow comes and leaves go, each time I came here everything shifted yet at the same time they were still." As he spoke, Ian noticed Elise had braven herself to come near toward him. He smiled at her, a crinkling amusement to watch her standing very near toward him despite her fear.
"Do you often come here?" Elise asked him. She couldn't find any happiness but fear to arrive at the cliff. Sure enough the scenery was breathtaking but she wasn't sure if she would want to come to the place often. Elise wondered why were they here, standing here as if wanting to feel the thrill when she wasn't then she recalled Ian's words before they stepped out of his bed room. Was this here punishment?
Ian swiped his hand through the black strands of his hair letting it fall over his forehead, "At times, when I needed a change of scenery. To see poisonous humans every day isn't my cup of tea, they destroy my good eyesight. Rather than to see them, I would like to do something more exciting that makes me feel alive."
"But you are alive." replied Elise, not understanding why one would search for something exciting to feel alive and she saw him tittered at her naive question.
"Am I?" asked Ian back that had Elise's blue eyes to lift from the brown ground to the back of his head. She watched how Ian let his hair to dance on the wind and his coat bustling away.
Elise who had been taking her steps very carefully feel the wind blowing harsher when her footsteps closing the distance between Ian and her, "Master Ian, what kind of excitement do you like to do?" She continued to ask, her even voice had began to shook when she saw Ian lifting his head down to the ground as if to weigh whether to jump or not. And Elise hope he wouldn't. She didn't know much about Ian's magic ability but to fall, she wasn't sure if there was any being who could still be alive after falling down the cliff.
He turned his body fully at her, asking, "Are you curious? Come closer." Ian coaxed her to come with his hand spreading forward as if waiting for her to take, his voice sweet to hook her to come nearer by his side.
