Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Clare who was hugging Cecil tightened her hold on Cecil as she looked at Alex with a smile.

A grateful, heartfelt, and gentle smile.

Clare had never seen her sister this happy, after all, in all the time they lived in their world, she never had a person she could call a friend, she never had the chance to play around as children do, and she didn\'t even get the opportunity to roam around freely.

They were always living their life in fear of being discovered, but here, none of them was a problem.

Cecil had friends, true friends, much like sisters, and then she had someone other than Clare who was a big sister figure for her.

They didn\'t spend much time together, but they knew each other deepest secrets, which showed how much they trusted each other.

So, Cecil was really happy right now, so much so that she was crying in happiness, and although Clare would prefer Cecil not to cry in any way, she was still happy.

All she had left was her sister, and right now, her sister was happy, so this made Clare, who had always been cold and distant to everyone, smile at Alex.

\'Ah…\'

Alex\'s world paused for a second when he saw that bright smile.

Clare didn\'t even notice that she was smiling from her heart, unlike before when she smiled for formality.

But Alex could see her true smile, and he would not lie….

\'She\'s an enchantress….\'

He was enchanted by her beautiful smile, it was so infectious that he unknowingly started smiling warmly.

Alex called her enchantress, as she really did captivate him for a second.

"Your smile is mesmerizing. You should smile more."

Those words left Alex\'s lips and he really meant those words.

His words were clear and loud, so everyone heard them, causing them to snap their heads toward Clare, but by now, the smile on Clare\'s face was long gone.

The stoic and cold expression that she used to wear was back on her face.

No one else could see that smile.

\'I need to control my emotions…\'

Clare noted to herself.

She had been a bit too relaxed after she met her sister and found out that she was not in danger.

In her world, Clare would kill someone just because they looked at them for more than 10 seconds, she didn\'t want to take chances, and she didn\'t want their faces to be remembered.

But when she came to this world, her attitude started to relax, she became less vigilant, less cautious, and less observant.

Letting out her true emotions was not something she had ever done since her childhood, at least not for a complete stranger.

She controlled her emotions and the smile on her face was nowhere to be seen.

But inwardly she was blushing like a maiden in love. It was her first time being complimented about her looks, after all.

"A pity…."

Alex sighed as he saw her smile vanishing.

It wasn\'t that Alex fell for her because of that smile or anything like that, he was just appreciating a beauty.

So, he felt a bit of pity when he saw her smile wear off.

But then he felt two pairs of eyes glaring at him.

\'Ah...\'

He realized his mistake, but then he just shrugged.

\'I didn\'t have any ill intentions.\'

He just needed to tell them that, and he would do that when they were alone, so he didn\'t worry about the glares he was receiving.

He just turned toward them and then gave the most charming smile he could give.

(Three days later)

"That dress was looking better at me, you know…"

Luna commented as stared at the handbag Alice was carrying.

"Shut up, it looks better on me!"

Alice turned her head in annoyance because she knew that the dress she took really did look better on Luna.

It was a purple gown that suited well on Luna because of her pink hair, and she looked gorgeous, but Alice would never accept it, would she?

"You just don\'t want to accept it."

Luna just shrugged.

"Hmph!"

Alice just snorted without even looking at Luna.

Right now, they were roaming around a market nearby, buying new things, but Alex was not with them.

Why? Well, we\'ll have to look into yesterday\'s conversation to know that.

..........................................

"You can do what you want, why are you asking me that?"

Alex raised a brow when he heard Luna\'s question.

She was asking for his permission to go out for some shopping, she and the girls wanted to buy some things, it\'s been three months since they went shopping, after all.

"I mean, the contract said that I can\'t do anything without your permission, so I was asking for permission."

Luna reminded Alex about the point on the contract.

"Ah, yes, there was that point."

Alex clicked his finger in realization before he turned back toward Luna and nodded his head.

"Yes, you can go."

"Thank yo-"

Luna bowed her head a bit and thanked Alex, but her words were cut short by Alice.

"I will go with them as well."

Alice spoke as she stared at Luna with sharpened eyes, which obviously confused Luna.

\'What did I do now?\'

Luna didn\'t know what she did wrong.

"We can all go then."

Alex nodded as he held the handstand of the sofa, trying to stand up, but then Alice added.

"No, you don\'t need to come with us, we can protect ourselves, you know…"

Alex paused for a second before he sighed and sat back on the sofa, resting his back comfortably.

"I see, all right, I\'ll stay home with Noctura."

He spoke after a while as his hands patted Noctura with a soft smile gracing his lips.

Noctura, who was sitting between his legs, purred as she felt Alex\'s hand patting her head.

Alice smiled at him.

She knew why he always stayed close to them.

She knew better than anyone else.

Alex was scared of them getting hurt, this one reason was why Alex never left them alone, much more so after the time at the first SS-rank gate where Makrum used Noctura\'s name to distract him.

She wanted Alex to know that they were not weak anymore, instead, they were stronger than anyone or anything in this world, right now.

But, did Alex not know that? Even though he is the one who trained them?

Of course, he knew that, but he couldn\'t let go of this feeling, it was as if something wrong would happen to them if they were away from him.

However, this time, he decided to let things be.

\'Everything will be fine, they are just going to shop for some things, and they will be back in hours.

What could possibly happen in hours?\'

Alex muttered inwardly, waving off his worries.
