Chapter 66 PYRO'S FAVOR

FIRA'S POV

The next day, the happiness never left me. I felt that there was a strong energy in my heart that produced gladness all over me. Luckily, Saza did not order me to go to the mining area although I wanted to see Janus to check on him. Saza just ordered me to water the plants in the garden. I was so happy to hear that because the garden was the most relaxing place ever! I could see different colors and kinds of flowers. They were so beautiful! I was like in paradise.

I was humming as I grabbed the container, gently throwing water to the plants. I folded my knee as I saw the white wonderful rose. I moved my nose to smell that. I could smell the sweetness that caused me to lighten.

I stopped what I was doing as someone folded his knee next to me and looked at the rose. When I looked at him, it was Janus.

"Hey! How are you?" A big smile immediately formed on my lips.

"I'm better. How about you?" He smiled back and then stared at the rose.

"I'm great! What are you doing here? Didn't you work at the mining site?" I stared at his expression. He seemed glad today, especially when he looked at me with the spark of joy.

"I just escaped for a second because I saw you walking towards the garden."

A second of silence filled between the two of us. "Fira, about what happened the night—"

"I don't want to hear that night, please. My day is so happy. I would be sad if I was reminded of that horrible experience." I stood up, grabbed the watering can and showered the roses. The smile never left me as I did that. Janus helped me to remove the dried leaves to make the plants more beautiful.

My body was stuck on where I was standing as I felt that Janus put a red rose behind my ear. "The rose is pretty, but it's prettier when it's on you."

"You're such a sweet man." I bent down, grabbed another watering pan and put it on the other plants. "Wow!" My eyes viewed a sunflower, it was yellow with a black color in the middle. "I hope Saza always orders me to water the plants."

This was her only order that made me so fun. I could smell the various flowers, my sight was admiring the whole area.

Someday, I want to live in a place where the surrounding has flowering plants. I hope if I find the one for me, we live in a far away land where the only people are the two of us, where the vegetables and fruits are around. It is nice to smell fresh air in the early morning.

I stared at my side as Janus removed something on my hair. He showed me the yellow leaves, maybe that fell into my head.

"Thank you." I was about to go to another area, but I stopped when Janus held my hand.

"Yes?" I looked down into his hands on mine. I wanted to remove it because it would only cause trouble if Pyro saw that, but I did not move. I just let him.

His mouth opened, wanting to say something, but it ended up shut. He could not continue. I watched the sweat condensed from his forehead so I held the table napkin in my pocket, raised my hand and wiped it using that. "Don't let the sweat dry on you. You may get sick."

Janus was about to say something when I heard the voice of Pyro.

"Fira!" He marched angrily towards us, he grabbed my hand away from Janus. "Don't you come near her again!"

"Why?" Janus fought his deadly stare. "Is sje yours?"

"Boys, please don't fight—"

"Yes! So back," he pushed Janus, causing him to move backward, "off!"

"You're just boastful because you're a king. 8f you're an ordinary werewolf, I will probably kick your ass!" Janus gritted his teeth.

Pyro was a bit taller than him so he was looking up a little. I never heard Janus talking like that before, except when he hit Carter.

"Then, let's have a fight." Pyro challenged him. "No use of power." He slowly closed his fist in a compact way, meaning that he was so mad.

"Pyro…" I held his hand and intertwined with mine. I was scared that he might hurt Janus again.

My eyes went to Janus who was now clenching his jaw. Pyro was doing the same as he glared at Janus with the irritable expression.

"See you in the evening. At the riverside," Pyro said. "We'll have a deal."

"No, you're not going to fight. Please. Stop this—"

"No use of power, just bare hands." Janus looked his chin up. "No cheating."

"Cheating is not in my vocabulary." Pyro shrugged as he held my hand, turned around and pulled me away from Janus.

"In the evening!" Janus shouted as if he was reminding Pyro about their agenda.

"King Fire, Saza ordered me to water the plants in the garden." I was giving him the reason why I was in the garden while he was dragging me over. I did not know where he was going to bring me. I just noticed that he brought me to the library.

Raiden was shocked as Pyro put me down in front of him. "How dare you, Fira?"

"Huh?" My mouth was barely opened as I gazed at Pyro with all the confusion in my face.

Pyro shut his mouth as he sat beside me.

"Dude, what's the commotion about?" Raiden seemed to have disturbed him. He put down the book and exchangeably gazed at me and Pyro. His eyes were questioning. "Okay, another fight again. Just don't disturb me. I need to finish this book."

"King Lightning, you need to do a task for me." Pyro stood up and sat beside him. He whispered something on Raiden that made his face wince in annoyance.

"Why me? I'm busy! You see these?" Raiden showed him the three thick books.

"Zephyrus is not around. He went to the city." Pyro grabbed Raiden's thick book. He winked at Raiden where I did not know what the meaning was.

"Why not Hali or Colden?" The annoyance was on Raiden's face.

"I only get one favor from you." He grabbed all the books and put them away from him. "Just one night, okay?"

My forehead formed a wave. I had no idea what they were talking about. I was having a nosebleed by their whispers.

"Okay, okay!" Raiden suddenly agreed to him. "You, promised?"

"Promised." Pyro raised his hand. "Gonna go." I watched Pyro walking away from us. I could not get why he left me with Raiden.

"Fira…" Raiden got my attention as he pushed the thick book, going in front of me. "Remember my story last time? About the Luna Queen that I am pursuing?"

"Oh, yes? What's about her?" I focused because his face seemed serious.

"I'm planning to...ahm." He scratched his forehead, the shyness was on his expression. "I am planning to surprise her on her birthday. What do you think she might like? I can't read all the books about women. Maybe you can tell me? Or suggest?"

"Oh, sure."

I started to talk about what a woman liked. I did not notice that the time was passing by.
