Edric's face showed a hint of shock when he saw Feren's steadfast and pure gaze, which took him by surprise. But soon, this surprise turned into a kind of anger and helplessness. Edric sternly said, "This is none of your business. Just go live your life!" His voice carried a hint of hoarseness, as if suppressing some emotion.
Edric turned and continued walking forward, trying to shake off Feren's attention. But Feren still silently followed behind him, his steadfast attitude like a silent protest.
Finally, Edric couldn't hold back anymore. He suddenly turned around, facing Feren with a mix of anger and despair on his face. "Stop following me. Get out of here and live your own life!" His voice was almost a shout, and his eyes shimmered with struggle and pain.
Feren was startled by Edric's sudden anger, showing a hint of shock and confusion on his face. Feren stood still as Edric turned and continued walking. Feren's heart felt like it had been struck by a heavy hammer, tears welling up in his eyes. He watched Edric's back, feeling an unprecedented sense of powerlessness. His heart was filled with sadness and helplessness, not understanding why Edric wanted to bear it all alone. Feren's voice trembled slightly, his words filled with urgency and sincerity. "I... I thought, after we fought off Asra Lion, we could continue to do more things together! Why... why do you want to shoulder everything alone? Aren't we friends who face hardships together? If you're really in trouble, I want to be there with you, to face it and get through it together!"
Edric stopped in his tracks, his body tense, the struggle in his heart like a sailboat in a raging storm. His heart was filled with pain and complexity, and Feren's words began to crack the ice in his heart. Edric knew deeply of Feren's purity and bravery, but he also understood that the responsibility and pain he carried far exceeded Feren's imagination. His heart was like a battlefield, torn between gratitude and friendship for Feren on one side, and helplessness and anger at his own fate on the other.
Feren looked at Edric with concern and confusion in his eyes. He didn't understand why Edric was pushing away this friendship, why he was facing it all alone. His heart was filled with reluctance and determination; he didn't want to give up on their relationship like this.
Edric finally turned around, his eyes filled with deep exhaustion and pain. He sighed deeply in front of Feren, as if trying to unload all the burdens in his heart: "This is not your concern. Just go live your life well!" His voice revealed deep helplessness and sadness.
Feren's voice was full of determination and sincerity: "What is not my concern? The life I want is to adventure with Mr. Edric. I find Mr. Edric really interesting! Although sometimes rough and rude, I know you are a good person!"
Edric fell silent for a moment, feeling an unprecedented surge of emotion in his heart. He had never expected to have such an image in the heart of Feren. His heart was filled with gratitude and emotion, but at the same time, there was also some confusion and struggle. He knew that his life was full of hardships and dangers, and he did not want to involve Feren in his world.
Edric took a deep breath, his eyes becoming gentle and serious. " Feren, you are a good child. Your heart is pure, and I see your bravery and perseverance. But the world I face is not as simple as you imagine. I don't want you to be hurt because of me."
Feren's eyes flashed with a hint of unwillingness and determination: "Edric, I know you may be facing great difficulties, but I am not afraid. I want to face them with you. Whatever challenges come our way, I am willing to face them together with you."
Edric looked at Feren's determined eyes, and the iceberg in his heart began to melt. He knew that this young man's determination was not easily shaken. Perhaps this was fate - their meeting was meant for facing future challenges together. Edric was emotionally overwhelmed, holding his head tightly in his hands, his voice trembling in the night sky, with a hint of hysteria: "I... I feel a threat coming, it doesn't belong in our world. I know that all the power in our kingdom cannot stop them. Our only hope... is Archangel."
Feren listened to Edric's words with a hint of shock and confusion. He remembered the village chief mentioning to him when Edric was unconscious that Edric was the only Imperial knight pilot on Asra star. If Edric needed to use the power of the Imperial knight, it must be a situation of extreme danger.
Feren cautiously approached Edric and tried to comfort him: "Mr. Edric, although I don't quite understand what you're saying, I believe you. If there is indeed great danger, I am willing to face it with you."
Edric looked up, his eyes filled with pain and struggle. He knew that once he decided to activate Archangel, he would lead himself and Feren onto a path full of unknowns and dangers. But he also knew that this might be the only choice, the only way to protect Asra star.
He fell silent for a moment, then nodded slowly and sighed, "Yes, Feren, we may be facing unprecedented challenges. But I cannot stand idly by."
Edric's gaze fell deeply on Feren, his voice filled with seriousness and concern: "I don't know if my feelings are right, and of course, I hope they are wrong. But if war really breaks out, are you really willing to fight alongside me? I don't know what we will face, what will happen. Everything is unknown. Are you really ready? Do you really have that courage?"
Feren's eyes were firm as he looked directly into Edric's eyes, and he replied without hesitation: "Mr. Edric, I am not without fear, but I know that sometimes we must face our fears. I may not be the strongest warrior, and perhaps I have no experience in battle. But I cannot stand by and watch Asra be in danger without doing anything. If you are willing to accept me, I am willing to fight alongside you."
Edric looked at Feren, this young and brave youth, and felt a surge of complex emotions. He knew that this journey might be filled with unknowns and dangers, but at the same time, he also saw the pure courage and determination in Feren.
"Alright, Feren," Edric finally said, his voice carrying a deep determination, "if that day truly comes, I will guide you and protect you. But for now, let's go check on the status of Archangel."
Two people slowly moved forward in the night, Feren filled with anticipation and unease about the future, while Edric silently prepared for the worst in his heart. What they will face together is a journey full of challenges and unknowns.
