Chapter 96: Nia Date.
*Celia’s POV*
I was actually lucky this morning. Lia was nowhere to be found, and at breakfast, I was told that she went to visit her mother. I wonder why, though?
Hm… Whatever the reason, I am sure that she will be safe. Two maids did go along with her, and apart from them being perverts, they’re actually decently strong and skilled.
Nia: “So, shall we go on a wonderful date?” She asked with a smile.
Celia: “I would love to, but haven’t you already peeped into the future, at how this date will turn out?” I ask with a raised eyebrow.
Nia: “I did… Just a little.” She said with an embarrassed tone.
Celia: “Will you still enjoy it if you already know what will happen?” I ask with a worried tone.
Nia: “Oh, I definitely will! The places you wish to visit with me, I am excited to visit. But can we not go to the park, and go somewhere else instead?” She asked.
Celia: “I don’t mind, but do you have a place in mind?” I ask with a head tilt.
Nia: “I do… It’s just that, you might find it to be a weird spot to take a girl out on a date to.” She replied with a nervous tone.
Celia: “Does it matter where we go, as long as we’re together?” I ask with a nonchalant tone.
Nia: “Do amazing and flirty words just come out of your mouth, or are you specifically planning what you say, just to seduce me!?” She exclaimed.
Celia: “That was flirty?” I ask with a head tilt.
Nia: “…”
Celia: “How much of this date did you look up?” I ask with a curious tone while ignoring her blushed face.
Nia: “Only… Only the sexual parts… And only for few a seconds…” She answered.
Celia: “…”
With both of our faces blushed, we quietly finished up our breakfast, and then we were guided by a few maids, just like before. Come to think of it, yesterday, they ended up disappearing after I took Lia to the park…
I guess that they can read the mood? Let’s hope that they do the same today. If they were actually there the entire time, I wouldn’t have been able to give Lia such an intimate and amazing kiss…
Ah! I can’t think about Lia right now! Today is Nia’s day! Shaking my head, I continued walking with Nia. Sure, we could take a carriage, but most of the places in this city are within walking distance. And us holding hands, is just the cherry on top of the walk.
Just like yesterday, a similar event happened, where I got lost in finding cute outfits for Nia to wear. Unlike with Lia, Nia tried on a lot more mature outfits. Which fit her far more than the dresses that I wear. In the end, Nia now had thirty different full sets of outfits to where as she pleased. And my budget, was down by 58 Platinum Celestium.
Nia was now guiding me to the place that she wanted to show me. Looking around while walking, the maids had already left… Did they just come to pick up the clothes, and then leave us to our date? Smart, I guess…
Nia: “I haven’t had the time to explore this city, it is quite beautiful.” She said with a smile while looking at me.
Celia: “Yeah, it is. I haven’t really explored it much either.” I reply.
Nia: “Celia… the place that we’re going to, it will be somewhat weird.” She said with a nervous expression.
Celia: “Why is it weird?” I ask with a curious tone.
Nia: “It is… something very intimate for Death God’s and Goddesses. But it is also something that others would find very weird.” She answered with a shaky tone.
Celia: “If it is something special to you, then I won’t find it weird.” I reply with a shrug.
Nia: “How can you be so nice to me?” She asked.
Celia: “Hm? What do you mean?” I ask with a confused tone.
Nia: “That Ria… she intercepted the mark I placed on you. But she most likely did it with your consent, right? I didn’t…” She replied with a shaky tone.
Celia: “Yes, she did get my permission. If you’re wondering if I am upset about it, then I would say that I am.” I honestly reply.
Nia: “Then… Why even go on a date with me, or let me live with you?” She asked with a confused expression.
Celia: “The longer that I am with you, the less upset about that I am. In a way, you saw that we would be together, so you went ahead and did something like marking me. Even without asking me first.” I say with a thinking pose.
Nia: “Celia, as you aren’t someone like Ria and me, I am sure that you do not fully understand the weight of what I did…” She said.
Celia: “I do. If I didn’t understand, why would I still be upset over it?” I reply.
Nia: “If you understand… then why? Why let me be with you?” She asked with tears streaming done her face.
Celia: “You got ahead of yourself, and made a mistake. A mistake, that I know for a fact that you will regret for the rest of your life. It’s that I know that you regret it, and will always regret it, that I am willing to let you be with me.” I say after I pull her into a tight hug, while rubbing her head.
Nia: “…”
Celia: “You will have hundreds, or even thousands of years to make it up to me. At the very least, shouldn’t I at least give you the chance to do so?” I ask.
Nia: “You’re too good to me, Celia…” She said with a smile.
We parted the hug, and then walked once more. Nia was quiet for the rest of the walk. I am sure that she needs time to think it all out, which I am more than willing to give her.
Frankly, why I even gave her a chance, after what she did to me, isn’t something that even I fully understand. What she did should be unforgivable, and yet, I feel the desire to forgive her…
I guess that love is weird like that, not that I am on to talk about love. Seeing how Lia was the first woman that I have ever even been with. I haven’t even held someone’s hands in a romantic way, until my date with her yesterday…
After walking for a while, we ended up at Nia’s destination. I now understood why she said that it would be weird. I mean, who would take a girl out on a date to a graveyard? Knowing what kind of Goddess she is, rather than the graves, surely this will be something to do with souls. Maybe?
Nia looked fidgety. Probably worried that I would find her date venue to be weird. With a smile, I grabbed her hand, and walked into the graveyard. Such a date at a place like this, is sure to be interesting, right?…
