Chapter 11

"What about the others? What about Cynthia? She calls you Lady Astrea which means you are important to her."

Madara actually didn't know what to think about her reason and said what came to his mind.

"That's true but I'm no longer the person I used to be anymore. Before the bandits attacked our village, I was the daughter of the village chief and she was my maid but she is free now..."

Tears started coming out of her eyes as she remembers the memories of the past before the bandits attacked the village. She stopped her words to wipe off those tears and continued after she was done.

"There is another reason behind why I want to explore the world with you. When I was a little my mother told me I was special and different from the other populace, I asked her why is that but she never told me why all she said to me was to find out myself when I get older."

'Special, huh! I wanted to check her status earlier but I was too hungry to do it now seems like a good time, system.'

'Wait what?! She the same age as me."

Madara looked between Astrea's appearance and the age on the system interface with disbelief written all over his face. Madara was right to be shocked because Astrea looks like a sixteen-year-old by appearance.

"What's that look for?!"

Astrea noticed the dumbfounded look on Madara's face and asked out of concern.

"It's nothing. I have no problem with you following me but you should know my path is full of dangers so you should prepare if you wanna follow me, Astrea."

Madara shook off the dirty thoughts he was having about Astrea and said with a serious face.

"I know it will be dangerous and I have prepared myself for any danger I, we face. All though I may not be as strong as you, I can hold my own in a fight. I was trained by my father when I was thirteen."

Astrea created a ball of fire in her hands to show Madara that she can use magic while also explaining herself.

"Is there something else you want to tell me, if not then I'm going to sleep. We will go to the nearest village from here tomorrow morning so you should get some rest."

Madara got up from the place he was sitting and left the living room because he was really tired even though he has fully recovered his chakra, his physical strength is still not recovered.

'He is the same age as me yet he is so strong. Will I ever be as strong as him if I follow him?'

Astrea sat there looking at the departing back of Madara and thought to herself before she also got up from the chair and left the house.

"Is that what you really want? Lady Astrea."

The moment Astrea came out of Madara's she was faced with Cynthia and her question.

Astrea looked at Cynthia with a gentle smile on her face and nodded her head before continuing to enter their house.

"It seems you don't need to worry about her safety anymore, Mistress Stella. Lady Astrea has found herself a really strong guardian."

Cynthia said to herself while looking at Madara's house with a smile on. her lips. Cynthia also went to sleep a little while later.

[The next Morning]

The morning sunlight shine upon the forest and the chirping of the sounds of the birds also echoed in the forest announcing the arrival of a new day. The residents of the forest started waking up one after the other, either it being magic beast or normal animals they all started waking up and Madara's group were no different.

"Yawn!"

Madara woke up in his room with a fresh look on his cute and somehow handsome face and yawned. Madara pushed strains of his hair to the back of his ears and rubbed his eyes to wake up completely.

After waking up Madara got up from his bed and made a quick trip to the restroom to clear his stomach of what he ate yesterday and came out a few minutes later.

"Hmm! That was great."

Madara said under his breath when he exited the restroom before going to the bathroom to brush his teeth and take a bath.

Meanwhile, in the girls' house. All of them were awake and were preparing to make breakfast when Astrea and Cynthia also came out of their rooms.

"Good morning Cynthia and Lady Astrea."

The girls greeted them when they saw them and went on with what they were doing. Cynthia seeing this also joined them in preparing the material for their breakfast while Astrea went outside.

Astrea went to Madara's house door and knocked on it.

*KNOCK!* *KNOCK!!*

*SLIDE!*

The first knock was not answered so Astrea went on and knocked a few more times until the door finally opened only for her to see a half-naked Madara standing behind the door.

"Huh! Astrea, what can I do for you this early in the morning?"

Madara asked while wiping the droplets of water that comes down from his hair from his face.

Astrea froze up with a bright red face as she look at Madara's naked upper body. Madara had his hair tied up in a ponytail which her a perfect view of his face and with his killer body made Astrea's heart beat faster than normal.

"N-N-Nothing!!"

Astrea runs away from Madara with vapour coming out of her head leaving Madara with a strange expression on his face.

"What was that about? She interrupted my bath just to run away from me."

Madara closed the door and went to the bathroom to continue his bath.

Meanwhile, with Astrea. After she runs away from Madara, she burst open the door to the girls' house and runs to her room. Seeing this the other girls looked on with strange faces because Astrea's behaviour was strange, especially Cynthia who watched Astrea grow up.

Astrea threw herself on the bed when she got to the room and buried her face into the pillow while images of Madara's naked body flashes through her mind.

'I-I-I saw his naked body!!'

Astrea screamed in her mind as Madara's image took a perverted turn in her mind.

*KNOCK!* *KNOCK!!*

While Astrea was having perverted thoughts about Madara, a knock sounded from the outside of the room.

"Who is it?"

Astrea asked as she got up from the bed with her face still red from having seen Madara's body and having dirty thoughts about him.

"It's me, Lady Astrea."

Cynthia's voice responded to Astrea's question. Astrea quickly calmed herself down but her face still had the red taint on it. She went and opened the door for Cynthia to enter.

"What's wrong? Cynthia."

Astrea asked when Cynthia entered the room.

"I just wanted to ask if you are okay. You came running into the house like a crazy person and your face is red, are you perhaps sick."

Cynthia asked with a worried look on her face as she look at Astrea whose face became even redder when she thought of the reason why she came to the house running.

"No, no, no everything is fine. I just feel a little hot that's why my face is red as for earlier I saw a scary animal that's why I was running."

Astrea quickly came up with an excuse but Cynthia felt that she wasn't telling her the truth but she decided to not force Astrea to say anything she doesn't want to so she accepted the excuse and left.

'Sigh! What's happening to me? Why does my heart beat faster whenever I think of you? Madara.'

Astrea sighed and thought to herself with her right hand placed on top of her heart while looking at Madara's house through the window in her room.
