Overlord Of Goldema - Chapter 24

“W-when did you get in here? Why didn’t you say anything? How long have you been looking at me?” She realized his mask was on the table, “I-I thought you didn’t want people to see your face, why are you showing it to me?”

“Slow down, please,” He leaned back in the chair, “Come here and sit down.”

“O-Okay,” She nervously walked over and sat down in front of Gold

“You wanted to see me, at least, that is what your father told me, why?”

“I wanted to talk to you.”

“About what?” He asked and then answered it for her, “Anything, right?”

“H-how did you know? Is it that obvious?”

“No, I noticed you earlier, I saw how you were last night and also before I set off,” He began explaining, “I just assume you are lonely.”

“I am.”

“I got here a few minutes ago, I was out of breath, I was observing you, and I think I have a certain amount of trust to show you my face,” He smiled, “What do you look at all day? No, why won’t he let you do what you want?”

“He is protecting me, and it is weird that he let you talk to me, normally, he isolates me and gives me the excuse that he is protecting me,” She played with her hair, “I never really had someone to talk to, apart from my father, but that doesn’t count, I can’t talk about everything.”

“You know that Bella means gorgeous in Ojami,” He said out of the blue, “Did anyone ever comment on how stunning your blue hair is and how it matches your eye?”

“N-no, n-no one ever compliments me,” She looked away from him and blushed, “T-thank you, I-I guess, I-I am n-not used to t-this.”

“Do people reject you and your people because of your differences?”

“Because of our eyes, yes, why?”

“I don’t know why they do that, for you, I think it makes your name hold it’s true meaning,” He said smiling and looked at his mask and noticed her blushing, “I guess no one ever compliments you at all.”

“Are you that nice to every woman you meet? You seem so kind and so, just nice,” She poured herself some tea, “Forgive me, that was rude, do you want some?”

“Sure, thank you,” He pulled the cup to him and left it in front of him, “Did your mother have such a beautiful blue color? I find it beautiful, something that makes you stand out from your father.”

“Don’t compare me to my father please, I hate when people do that.”

“Then forgive me, I regret saying that, lady Bella,” That title made her blush, “Have you ever had a boyfriend or been in love?”

“No, I never felt those feelings and that emotion,” She sighed, “I wish I could.”

“What does your father do during the day?”

“I thought I told you-,” He lifted his eyebrow and hid the pain in his back, “Um, he is going to be travelling soon, to Ojami to organize trading with our village.”

“Okay,” He lifted his cup and smelled the tea, “This smells really good, I don’t usually drink tea, it is very expensive for me, I mean, my party, and none of them really care, so I normally drink water,” He took a sip and put the cup down, “Where was I?”

“I, um, I have a question,” She stammered and tapped her index fingers together nervously, “Do you find me pretty? Honestly.”

“I don’t think I should answer that, your father-.”

“I don’t care about that, I want to know, and no one ever tells me if I am!” She covered her mouth in shame, “I am sorry, I overreacted.”

“Bella! I am going to Ojami!” Her father called from outside of the room, “I am going to be back in a few days.”

“Does he not even walk in?”

“No,” A tear went down her cheek, “I don’t think he cares about me much, I think he would prefer a son over a daughter but when my mother died, he closed himself and me with him, I-,” She felt Gold’s finger wipe off the tear from her cheek, “I-I, I don’t know what I was saying, um.”

“Can you show me what you look at all day?” He said as he weakly got up and grimaced as his back screamed in pain, she looked at him worried but he shook his head. She got up and walked to the balcony and opened the glass doors and walked into the sun. The balcony overlooked the forest-covered valley that formed part of the cyclops territory. He slowly walked to the edge and leaned forwards putting his weight on his arms. She stayed standing with him, sighed, “Beautiful, isn’t it?”

“Y-yes,” She said nervously, “Who are the people in your party? None of them are humans?”

“No, I don’t know why, but I never really found humans to be people worth joining me and my party, they don’t exactly offer much in a fight aside from what they have learned and will,” He sighed and grimaced from pain, “And, I don’t really need anyone else in my party,” She turned to looked at him and he got up and faced her, “You want to ask me something?”

“Um, well, yes, no! Um, well, maybe, yes, y-yes I do,” She stammered tapping her fingers together nervously, “D-do you want, want to have dinner with me?”

“Sure, I don’t see why there would be a problem, so yes, but I can still be here for some time, Miia, Camille and D. B. are out looking for the cyclops treasure, so that I can do my side of the bargain, but I still need to set up the protection of the forest, I am in no condition to do so,” He coughed and grabbed his chest, Bella moved closer to him, worried, “Don’t worry,” He said as he walked over to a chair and sat down, “I am such an idiot,” He mumbled, “I put my life put my line with Infernal Angel, I could have finished them without that.”

“Are you talking to me?”

“No, I was talking to myself,” He said as she sat down next to him, “You look pretty when you blush, the pink of your cheeks and the blue of your eye make a beautiful contrast,” She leaned on her arms, on the table, smiling and closed her eye, listening to him, “I wonder if the Creator could make a being more beautiful, I think that you would still be more beautiful, Lady Bella.”

“You don’t need to call me that, Bella is enough,” She said, “How do you find some many thing to compliment me? Do you do this often?”

“I live with Miia, she loves me so much that the only way for me to control her emotions, I need to compliment her and so I have a skill for that now, it is something that I enjoy doing,” He smiled, “And often, the women I talk to like that find it charming, you clearly like it,” This made her blush and look shyly away from him. She nervously picked up her cup and drank some of her tea. Gold smiled and looked at her, she looked away from him, but their eyes met and her eye was open wide and her cheeks slowly turn bright pink. She put her cup down and nervously twirled her hair. Gold got up and slowly, paced to the door.

“No! Stay! Please!” She cried out as he put his hand on the door, “I don’t want to be alone! Stay with me please!” She sat on the bed and tapped next to her, “Sit down with me,” He smiled and slowly walked to her bed and sat down next to her, “I don’t want to be lonely.”

“What do you want to do?”

“Wha?! W-what a-are y-you t-trying to, to s-s-say?”

“I know what you want,” He said as two ram horns grow on his head, as his robes disappeared, revealing his muscular body and two wings grew from his lower back, “You know what this is?”
