Chapter 139

Kraig had not thought of it beforehand but it was very hard for him to follow the agreement. He was the first she had to spend three months with. For those three months, it had not once sunk into him that he had to let her go after his ’period’. When it did, every day, he tried as best as he could to busy himself with work. But still, he could not last a day without seeing her, so even it was against the rule. He would secretly watch her.

Lyndon’s period was over. But during her entire three months with Lyndon. He was always there, ready to teleport in her location if she ever called for him. Sometimes in the middle of the night, he would sneak to her room too, just to be with her. Today, however, Kraig could not stalk her when she left town to have a date with Lyndon.

He was just about to check if she had already returned from the town. But then, he was surprised when he opened the door, it was her who was knocking. This was her first initiation to see him after they parted three months ago.

Although it was unexpected, it wasn’t unpleasant, on the contrary, Kraig was so happy. "Come in," he held himself and tried his best to be composed. He preferred to give her the notion that he was not a clingy boyfriend or make her think that he missed her too much. At least, he wanted to present himself as the ’man’ who can live without his woman.

But as soon as she walked through the door, her frisky scent invaded his nostril. He forgot about being calm and composed. He closed the door and grabbed her to be embraced into his arms. "Why are you here? Did you miss me?" He cheerfully whispered to her ear and brushed his cheek to her hair. It was smooth, she smelled so good, and she was so comfortable.

"I want to see you," Yanarym uttered with her gentle voice, Kraig’s smile widened. He did not realize he missed her this much. It seemed like he could not bear to let her go if she said goodbye later.

"Did you eat? Should I cook?" Kraig loosened his grasp on her and made her face him. "You’re not hungry?" She simply shook her head and pushed him, Kraig obediently set her free. "Did you want to see me?" He tilts his head and grinned foolishly as he peeked at her eyes.

She did not respond, she simply drifted her eyes from his face to his hand. She reached out for it and clasped their hand together, upon intertwining their fingers she began to walk directly to his room.

"H-hey? You miss me this much?" Kraig was speechless, Yanarym was moving swiftly but aggressively. "Rym?" The next thing he knew was he was restrained on the bed.

Sitting at his stomach while cupping his face, she was above him, "Kiss me." She whispered. Kraig blinked his eyes, she was too feisty. And it was not like he hated it but this was all of sudden. "Won’t you kiss me?" She whispered again while staring into his eyes.

Kraig felt a sudden thirst, he gulped and put his hand on her nape, and pulled her for a kiss. She opened her mouth and dipped her tongue into his mouth. Their tongues fought supremacy, Kraig wanted to change their position but she kept him pressed on the bed. "Ughm..." He groaned as he felt her little fingers skimming his chest. He felt dominated, she was leading them.

Maybe because he had not touched her for such a long time, his shaft was getting so hard even though she was just kissing him.

"R-rym... " she pulled away and he ran after her mouth but she kept him nailed on the bed. He parted his lips and felt the wetness of it. He wanted more, "Rym." He called her, mesmerized. "Why stop?"

She stooped over him but didn’t initiate kissing him. "Kiss me." She said in a low voice, with her husky tone. Kraig felt his stomach was having internal chaos, it was so flattering. His eyes quivered as he stared at her face, he felt drunk.

He reached out for her lips because his head was the only body part he could move, it was hard to initiate but still, he captured her lips and kissed her hungrily. Because she was suppressing his hands, every time that she would pull away all he could do was beg for her to come back.

They kept that charade for a long time. Kraig wasn’t even craving for more than kissing, it was enough for him to savor her mouth. The taste of her saliva was a lot more luscious than he remembered.

"Kraig, I have to leave." The heated moment turned cold when she spoke, she let go of his hands but he couldn’t move his body anymore, he became sluggish. He couldn’t move a finger. Yanarym gave him pecks on the lips before vacating his body and just sat beside him. Kraig felt strange, he wanted to ask what was happening but he couldn’t speak.

He was paralyzed.

"I have to erase your memory." She spoke dryly, Kraig creased his brows and wanted to touch her but he couldn’t lift his hand. "Your mental state is not as strong as Lyndon’s, I don’t want you to be insane just like what happened before." She murmured and brushed his hair through her fingers.

Kraig heard her loud and clear, that was her voice... but Yanarym didn’t speak to him this way. She felt so distant and like a stranger. She leaned down to his ears, "Francis, forget about me." And he felt her lips on his forehead. "I don’t deserve you." Kraig didn’t want to sleep, but he felt so drowsy, he still couldn’t understand what was happening but the way Yanarym spoke to him, his heart was agonizing.

"R..ym." Kraig forced himself to say her name and found himself falling into the deep and dark abyss.

Yanarym stood up from Kraig’s bed when she saw that he had fallen asleep. It was done, she had her final part, her abilities, her powers. Now, Azkin could finally ascend. She looked at Kraig before she closed the door.

Francis had an alter ego, it was Kraig. Yanarym didn’t know how Francis divided himself into two, but Kraig and Lyndon were both Francis.

Guide-sama: "You wiped out his memories."

"I have to, or else, he would go crazy if he found out that I am gone."

Guide-sama: "But you didn’t do that to Lyndon."

"Lyndon has a stronger mentality. While Kraig has the weak mentality."

Guide-sama: "Aren’t they the same? They are both Francis. But you made one suffer and saved one."

"They are Francis ... and every person has a weak and strong side. Unfortunately, Kraig is the weaker Francis. Also, who said Kraig wouldn’t suffer? Forgetting is just as bad as remembering."

Guide-sama: "How come?"

"You might don’t know, but forgetting is hard. As a human myself, I always felt so distressed or anxious whenever I forgot something. I know that there is something wrong and missing but I don’t know what or why I feel that way. Because memories were not just memories, it is the reason why humans are at their present. And we seek purpose, memories for me are essential in determining the purpose. With that, Kraig will suffer as much as Lyndon."

"You’re back," Matteo welcomed Yanarym as she entered the house. "Are you done with your farewell?" Yanarym looked at him and smiled.

She was not, there was still one person who needed to hear her farewell. ’It was your turn,’ Yanarym thought as she peered at Matteo.

Matteo had been into Azkin for a long time but denied that emotion. Descending from heaven, he found the original and fell for her, which was Azkin.

"I’m ready to ascend." She said, "Are we ascending together?" Matteo nodded and held her hand. They walked into the living room and saw that there were two golden cups in the center of the candles formed in a circle.

"It would be a painless ceremony," Matteo uttered and kissed her head. "Don’t be scared, okay?" He whispered and thralled his fingers to her jaw and held her chin upwards. She met his eyes and he didn’t see any worry about it.

She wasn’t terrified of the idea of dying. Which made Matteo smile, he always knew that she was different from the rest. Even death didn’t frighten her.

"Before that, can you promise me three things?" She looked around and broke from his embrace, setting the distance from him. Matteo immediately nodded his head and grabbed her wrist to pull her back on his body.

"Whatever you want, tell me." He said and cupped her face, "I will grant it for you." He added reassuringly, with a smile on his face.
