Relaxing on a date with a cute childhood friend 2

(Third person POV)

"Are you okay? You are acting weird for a while now."

"Hmm? Yeah, I'm okay. It's just... this is the first time I'm on a date so I get nervous. Especially with a cute girl like you had here with me gets me quite nervous."

"C-cute?! *cough* C-can't be helped then. Shall we sit at some cafe to catch our breath?"

"That would be great."

Oscar and Carla went to a nearby cafe. The festival place was huge and there were many cafes around it. There were a lot of tourists coming to see the festival and many of them were couples.

The cafe they were sitting at was called White Blossom. It was one of the most popular ones around. They were able to find seats just by luck. Inside was crowded with couples. Similar to them. The reason for the popularity of this cafe was their sweets. They had a special sweet that no one else knows how to make. Its name was 'Lisamarine'. Named after the Saintess Lisa the wife of the War Hero Izomir. It was made of some fruits that only grow around Izolis.

"I heard so much about this place. I'm really glad we came here today."

"Me too. I got the see a lot of beautiful things today."

Carla's cheeks took a faint crimson hue. She happily munched on her Lisamarine. It was like a pudding but more solid. It also had an appetizing orange color to it. There were little chocolate pieces on top of it as a decoration.

"It's quite good. Rumors weren't exaggerating."

"You shouldn't judge sweets without trying them!"

"Sorry, you are right. I should sometimes try before judging."

"Not sometimes. You should always try before judging."

"Well, if you want me, I would do it."

"Hmph!"

They chatted while eating their sweets. They had pink and fluffy air around them. Some of the couples couldn't help but cast jealous glances at them.

After their little break at the cafe, they returned to enjoy the festival. Carla would look through the stalls and Oscar would accompany her. There were numerous stalls. Some were selling snacks some were selling toys some were selling books or rings etc.

"Carla, these would look good on you could you try them?"

Oscar hand two crimson earrings to Carla. They looked like flowers made of ruby. A perfect match for her eyes. Carla tried them on her ears and show them to Oscar.

"They look good on you."

"Thank you."

After Oscar gifted her crimson earrings they continued their walk. Halfway through their walk, they found a bench under a big tree. There was a park in the middle of the festival. The name of this park was Saint Lisa Park. It had beautiful flower fields, they were small but still enjoyable to look at. There were also several big trees about 5 or 6 meters tall.

They sat at the bench and watched flower fields. The sounds of the festival could still be heard from the park. But it was relatively calmer in the park. There were several events going to happen at the festival. Theatre play of Hero Izomir's tale. After that, there will be a concert.

After relaxing at the park then they went to watch the play of Hero Izomir's tale. It was interesting to watch. A young blonde man played the role of the hero. He struggled all the way until his death. The play showed his childhood too. He was a son of a blacksmith father and farmer mother. His father died when his furnace at his workshop exploded to his face. He was just a little over 11 at that time.

His mother struggled to raise him. To not burden his mother, he enrolled in the local army at the age of 13. He was the youngest recruit ever. But thanks to his skills and discipline he rosed at the ranks. There were some corrupted officers in the army who tried to stop his rise. He eventually triumphed over them all.

The last and the longest part of the play was the battle for Izolis. It starts with Izomir and Lisa's marriage. They have known each other from childhood but after he enrolled in the army they didn't see each other for seven years. At the age of 21, they married. Just about a year later the neighboring country invade the city. The battle took two weeks. After the death of the previous commander, Izomir took command and fight back. In the last fight, he died after killing the enemy commander.

Carla seemed amazed by the play. She seemed moved to the tears. Oscar on the other hand didn't look much amazed. This was his second time watching the same play after all.

"Did you like it?"

"Yes, it was amazing! I heard the tale of Hero Izomir before but seeing a play about it was totally different."

"It is definitely an epic story. I don't know how much of it historically correct tho."

After the play was a concert. There were many different singers and groups performing. After enjoying most of the festival Oscar and Carla returned to the Daxhoull by bus.

"Can you come with me? I want to show you a place."

"Is this the place you mentioned before?"

"Yes. I think you would like it."

After returning the Daxhoull, he took her to the forest. At the northeast of the old church was a hidden place not many people were aware of. When they arrived there, breathtaking scenery welcomed them. There was a clearing and in the middle of it was a water spring. There were countless flowers surrounding it. And the lights of the setting sun were adding magnificent effect.

"It's beautiful."

"Yes, it is. I found this place a few months ago. You would be surprised how many little spots like this here on Daxhoull goes unnoticed by people. Well, maybe that's what makes them beautiful."

"Then this place is a secret from everyone."

"Yes, it's our secret from now on. I hope that didn't sound so cringe."

"No, it sounds lovely."

"Carla, I hope you enjoyed the date we had today. Because I liked it a lot. I have to admit that I missed spending time with you."

"I loved it. We should go on a date sometime again."
