Chapter 140 KING FIRE’S LOVER
FIRA’S POV
“Welcome back.” Hali tilted his head while looking at me. His arms were folded on his chest.
I gave him a small smile. “Thank you, King Water.”
“Hali.” He corrected me. He stepped near to my Ember and messed up her hair. “Do you want to learn to punch, kick, and other fighting skills?”
I immediately shook my head. His training would never be easy. “No way.”
“I want!” Ember jumped excitedly. “When are you going to teach me, King Water?”
“You want now?” Hali down his knee, ignoring my protesting.
“Yes!” She held his hand.
Crap! No!
I glared at Hali. He just smirked at me. “I promise. You’ll thank me for doing this.”
“Thank you.” The sarcasm was in my voice. I rolled my eyes as he passed me by.
I watched them. Ember was jumping while she was asking Hali a different question.
“What’s going on?” Pyro was walking in the hallway. I went to him immediately and whispered. “Hali will train Ember.”
I thought that he was going to be worried about our child. He was proud instead. I facepalmed as he joined them to have training.
“This is the proper standing position.” Hali was showing her the appropriate location of the feet.
“Yes, yes! Papa taught me like this.” She was boastfully doing it right.
I could see how the forehead of Pyro wrinkled. Every minute, Ember was mentioning his Papa. Often, she was crying the same as me, especially at night. The week had passed, but the pain was still in our hearts. I pity her. There was a time that she was asking me random questions like how I and his Papa met. How did we fall in love? How she was born? And many pieces of stuff that were unexpected. I was answering her carefully, making sure that I would never offend her.
I story-tell when I first saw him at the mining area. I only said the fact that I admired him from the moment I viewed his features. I did not say about Pyro, but sometimes she was questioning our closeness.
“Ouch!” Ember held his shoulder when Hali hit him so hard.
“Hali!” Pyro immediately went to her, touched her shoulder, and massaged it.
“Pyro, you should not pamper your child一” Hali stopped talking.
“Child?” Ember’s little voice could be heard. Her eyes went to me and then to King Fire.
“I mean, you’re like a child to us, aren’t you?” Hali did everything just to make her not think about that. “You’re the kid of all the kings, yeah?”
She smiled cutely. “Yes. But Papa can only call me as his child.” She ran towards the arnis, held it again, and positioned his feet to the correct degree.
Hali gazed at Pyro. I knew what did Pyro feeling at the moment. He shook his head and went to Ember. “We’re going to have a game.”
“Ah, huh? What game?” She looked up at him.
“If I won, I can call you my daughter.” Pyro gave her a small grin.
“Sure! What if I won?”
“I’ll teach you the keys of the piano again.”
I had a wide smile while observing the father and daughter bonding. I sat on the rock and glimpse at the beautiful scenery.
“You’re already teaching me!”
“Ahmm?” Pyro put his forefinger on the chin. “You, think?”
“Ahmm!” Ember imitated his actions, holding on to his chin. That made Hali chuckle. “Can I go to the city?”
Pyro;’s expression was shocked. “Sure.”
“Can we go there with Mama? Papa said he’s going to bring us there, but…” The sadness drew on her face. She was prohibiting herself to cry.
Pyro blew a loud sigh. He cupped her cheek. I could see how brave Ember was to control the tears that were producing into her eyes.
“I can be your father if you want?” Pyro said in a low tone. I gasped for air as the atmosphere turned into a downhearted moment.
“No.” Ember moved her head side by side direction. “You can’t replace my papa.”
“I’m not gonna replace him. I’ll just stand as your second father.” Pyro lifted her in his arms. He brought her to the center of the training area.
“I’ll think about that.” Ember gestured to him to bring her down so he did.
“I’ll wait.” Pyro’s eyes glued to me. My heart beats so loud and reckless. “I’ll never get tired of waiting.”
You don’t need to wait, King Fire. You always own my heart.
The afternoon was tiring. They just taught everything. Good thing, Hali was not brutal to my child unlike when the time that he was teaching me. He was no mercy, but to Ember, he was soft.
After an hour of practice, Zephyrus and Raiden came. They ordered the omegas to bring us food. We had a lot of chat, especially Raiden. He was married to Princess Adhira who was now her Queen Luna. They were still fighting day by day. I could see in his eyes that she loved her. According to his action, he did not want to go far from her. He was seeing himself in her side through ups and downs, so my only advice was to be more patient.
Zephyrus lately was not that naughty or talkative when I asked him about his problem, he just sighed and suddenly pointed to his heart. That means he was dealing with heartbreak. He refused to say it. He was a king who turned everything into laughter. He was blabby to tell others’ stories. However, if it was his story, he could not burst it.
Lately, saw my Eira moving back and forth to King Ice’s Chamber. Things between them were not easy. They were both in pain due to a long-distance relationship when we were on the Red Moon Pack. I hope their relationship became organized again.
Hali, I did not hear about him. Currently, I was seeing his smile, so I concluded he had a happy heart.
Things were okay between the others. How about me and Pyro? When will be things clearer?
“Good afternoon, Princess Ziraya.”
My feet stuck on the ground as I heard them, greeting the Princess. She was here again!
Her right feet stomped on the soil. She was inside the carriage. Her eyes only on Pyro.
“Princess Ziraya, how’s your trip?” Pyro traveled closer to her. He put Ember down beside me.
“Great.” The Princess showed him her white beautiful teeth with a smile. Her arms encircled his neck. “Miss me?”
“Of course.” My heart break into pieces as Pyro smiled at her genuinely.
“Is she King Fire’s lover?” I looked down on Ember when she asked that question.
“She is,” Hali answered with a teasing smirk.
