Chapter 44

He claimed her

•

After having breakfast, Emilia suggest “Why don't we take a walk on the garden? I mean… I haven’t gone out except for resignation in my company and more importantly, I haven't saw the view around here.”

 Leon was ecstatic “So, it's like a date right?”

 Emilia flushed “S-Shut up!” She reminded him clearly “Just a walk and not a date. Put that into your big head.”

 He slightly chuckle “Sure, Sure, Whatever my sweetheart says. It's just a walk.” 

 They both got out of the mansion, the guards who were on their position guarding the mansion, bowerd their head to show to respect to both Emilia and Leon.

 No matter what, Emilia just couldn’t get used to it. It was still weird and awkward as always.

 The luxuriously decorated at every part whether it was tree, wall or stone, in vast field around mansion was remarkably amazing. Emilia couldn’t her eyes off of those beautiful decoration. The decoration of plant was making a perfect animal like a statue. Eg: Lion, Tiger, and others all of them were awesome.

 At the middle there was a big golden statue of Eagle. It was damn cool and awesome.

 When she came here for the first time, she did saw that statue of Eagle but from far away so she didn’t had a chance to look at it nearly and now when she looked at it closer, it was too glamorous, cool and tremendous like it was out of this world. It was perfectly craft and designed with love and care 

 She could just guessed at the first sight that, in order to make this, it surely have cost a lot and it must be too expensive.

 Gazing at Emilia's stunned expression looking at Eagle statue, he asked “Do you like it?”

 Emilia nodded “Yeah… It's took awesome.” She unconsciously asked “Is this made up of real gold?” Right after she asked, she realized what just she asked, she instantly remade her word “I mean, no… of course, it's not a real gold right? I’m just asking nonsense question. Don’t mind it.” She was embarrassed.

 Leon quietly stared at her and responsed to her earlier question “You're indeed right sweetheart. This is made up of gold, a pure gold. You're not wrong at any point.”

 Emilia was dumbfounded. She couldn’t believe in her ear no matter what “W-Wh-What? Are you serious?” She was too shocked that she couldn’t help but blurt out her shocked question.

 Leon wanted to laugh but he hold it back with a smile “Of course, I'm serious. Why would I even lie to my sweetheart?”

 Emilia's eyes were wide open. She gulped hardly through her dry throat still unable to believe it.

 If she have to calculate, no honestly… she couldn’t even calculate how much would it have cost.

 ~Like seriously? This is a statue of gold? Is he crazy? How could he make eagle statue of gold? This looks too expensive. I even feel scored to touch it.~

 She turns to look at Leon still in shocked “What if someone steal it secretly? Aren't you afraid?”

 Listening to her question, this time for real; He couldn’t hold back his laugh. 

  “Puff… Hahahahaha” Leon burst out into laughter. His stomach was hurting still he couldn’t hold back.

 Emilia narrowed her eyebrows in confusion “What’s so funny to laugh?”

 “Yeah… that— hahaha…” He still couldn’t hold back his laugh.

 Emilia stretch her forehead back feeling annoying.

 Leon tried to hold back his laugh taking a deep breath. 

 “Sweetheart! How could anyone steal it when there are more than hundreds guards wandering everywhere for protection?”

 Leon explanation did make sense and Emilia was embarrassed for being dumbhead. Yeah, she was too embarrassed to face him after all, How could anyone steal it when there are many guards at each step? Either he should be invisible man or super human being.

 “Ahem… Well, that was just a question. You don’t have to laugh that much.”

 Leon smiled “Sure… Sure… as my sweetheart wish but yeah, if it gets steal, then I’ll just make another one.”

 Emilia widen her eyes “What?”

 “Just kidding!” Leon's soft gaze falls at Eagle statue “This state is our pride. Even if I lost my all wealth, This is the only thing I can't lose it at any cost. It is like, member of our family. It doesn’t matter that it is made up of gold who neither could breath or has warmth and heart but, it’s still part of our family with lots of precious memories. The most important person of my life entrusted me to watch over it and protect it. Even if I make another one, it can't fill the gap that reside in our heart.”

 Emilia could feel in his each word that, this statue was not an ordinary statue. He wasn't talking about it’s expenses, he was talking about it’s love and it’s importance in his life that reside in his deep heart.

 She was happy to hear that. Though she didn’t knew, what really does he mean, she could just say for now is that, this statue was home to Leon with lots of precious memories.

She wanted to ask who is that important person who entrusted him for an important task, but she couldn’t. She was somehow afraid to ask.
