Chapter 87: Sweet date (2) (1/2)

After the little episode with the curse, even though Medea's mood dampened for a short while, it did not take long for it to pick up again.

The streets were currently crowded, as families, couples, friends, or singles people walked around. Joyous music filled the air while the merchant shouted to attract people to their stalls.

Medea could only marvel at all that.

Even though she was sealed, since she could observe everything happening in the tower, she wasn't completely behind the time and had a concrete idea of how the world looked like.

But, imagination and reality were always different. In her mind, despite all the innovation, Lustburg was still this little, cold street where she lived, or rather survived, as a street urchin with hunger and anger in her belly.

It was still this poor and destitute country that needed the protection of the elves to not simply become a huge cake for all the countries.

It was still this war-torn country that was trying to fight for its freedom under her leadership and that of Jupiter.

Thinking of Jupiter, she was surprised to not feel the usual pangs of sadness his name brought her.

”Ea... Medea.”

Medea yelped when she finally heard herself being called by Sol. Laughing stiffly, she shook her head and berated herself in her mind.

'Don't lose yourself. Sol is doing his best for you.'

She knew that this date would eventually lead to many things. Even though at this level her answer was clear to the two of them and more akin to a formality, it was still a very important step in their relationship.

More than anything, this was her first date. She wanted it to be a success.

Meanwhile, Sol didn't miss the myriad of expressions that flashed on Medea's face. But it didn't matter. He was willing to take his time for her. She was more than worth it.

He had been thinking about this date yesterday, letting her walk around and explore the city was the best thing.

Like that, until lunchtime, the two of them enjoyed themselves while walking around. Even Medea was feeling a little stuffed from everything they ate.

Though, for the two of them, this wasn't a problem. Sol's stomach was basically bottomless while Medea could simply rewind the time of her own body.

Deciding to take a rest, Sol found a bench under the shade for them. They weren't particularly tired, to be honest. But sitting à little was always nice.

Once Sol sat, he looked with curiosity at the fidgeting Medea who seemed to gather her courage, before finally seating on his lap.

One thing to remember was that Medea wasn't wearing her usual long robe, but rather a simple short skirt.

Sol could clearly feel Medea's ass through her thin skirt, and it was truly a tremendously destructive force striking right into his reasoning.

To be specific, he couldn't move as if he was completely turned to stone because he felt like if he moved, a certain part of his body would react and turn into a stone instead, so he was trying to make an effort in not moving and keeping his mind free from obstructive thoughts.

Thankfully, he was already used to women and so, once the shock passed, he was in control of his urge.

”Today was really fun. Everything seemed to be shining… It made me feel really happy.”

”I'm also having a lot of fun with you by my side.”

A warm atmosphere seemed to surround the two as they spoke like that.

He hugged Medea from behind as tight as he could without hurting her. Medea twitched in reaction, but she didn't seem to be resisting as she let him hug her body, making him feel her soft warmth filling his whole body.

Still feeling the warmth of her body, his hand was heading to the bulges of Medea's breasts, but he managed to control himself at the last moment. After all, no matter what they decided to do, he would never disrespect her by feeling her up outside in the streets.

Thinking so, he let his hand trail down before taking her hand in his. He felt like his heart was beating so fast it was about to explode.

He wanted to continue like that for the rest of the day, but good times were always fleeting, and he sadly had to visit the Traver family during the night.

To make the best of their remaining time, Sol and Medea stood up before continuing to walk hand in hand.

They ate different things, played in different stalls, and simply enjoyed themselves the best possible.

It wasn't a luxurious date. But, for Medea, this was perhaps the best day for her since very long ago.

She only remembered having felt such happiness when she was following Ambrosia, her teacher, and mother, after becoming a witch.

This was a moment she wished to keep in her memory for eternity.

They finally reached a tall hill in a park that seemingly overlooked a great part of the city.

Medea admired the beautiful view while Sol stood behind her and hugged her.

Murmuring in her ears, he said his heartfelt feelings,

”This is the kingdom you valiantly fought to create. I am sorry that you never got the recognition you should have. Thank you for everything. Without you, I wouldn't be here in my current position.”

In the story, Medea was vilified and treated as an accessory. But the reality was clear. Without Medea, there would be no Lustburg as it is now.
