Words:1442Update:22/07/25 04:46:12
This was a cruel world. Those who loved each other couldn't love each other and those who hated each other had to fight together. Curieta instinctively hated those who attacked her own people, but she had no choice but to fight side by side with them and call them brothers. Curieta realized that she had lost her composure after shaking off her lover. She understood that it was because she instinctively hoped that Delius could give her and their children a home, but she knew that Delius couldn't do it now.
This was a mother's hatred for her irresponsible husband. Sadly, because of her love for her husband, she couldn't let her husband know about this. She couldn't let him know that she was already a father. She could only bear the hatred and sorrow brought about by this love alone, and she had to bear the burden for him silently. This was the path she had chosen and the only path that could lead them to happiness.
However, her children needed someone to take care of them. Therefore, in order to prevent them from hating her father, she decided to give them their father's love as well. However, she wouldn't be able to participate in the battle and accompany her lover if she did so. So she had to leave the army and accompany her children. Thus, she bit her lip and spoke again to Teleus, who still hadn't recovered from his shock.
"After this battle, I won't join the battle anymore. I'll find a city to settle down. Delius … Can you come with me?"
In the end, her mother's weakness and strength made her ask what she wanted to ask the most. But in the end, she couldn't help but want Delius to leave the battlefield with her. Of course, this hesitant question was mixed with the desire of a wife for her husband. Although this kind of love was the most passionate, it was also the easiest to suppress.
On the other hand, Teleus walked up to Quillo in disbelief, grabbed his shoulder, and couldn't help but question him.
"Curieta, that's the goal we've been fighting for! Didn't we risk our lives to fight for our common ideals and beliefs? Didn't we join Noxus to conquer the world? "
Why did he work so hard in Noxus's army? Wasn't it because of their common aspirations? He always believed that no one could stop them from conquering the world. But now, when their dreams were about to come true, Curieta said that she wanted to quit? This was something that Delius couldn't accept because Curieta was his biggest motivation. If Curieta left … No, he couldn't imagine such a thing happening to him.
"But I'm also a woman, Delius."
Unlike the world on Earth, although women's rights in this world weren't low, the difference in their bodies still affected their status. It was only then that Curieta remembered that she was also a woman who needed to be protected. She was not a vanguard of Noxus who could fight to the death without batting an eyelid. She was also one of the people whom the Emperor valued. She was also one of the vanguard who had climbed out of a mountain of corpses countless times.
"No, but we …"
Teleus didn't dare to imagine that such 'weak' words would come out from the mouth of his lover, his comrade, and his brother. But he also knew that if Curieta said such words, it meant that she had made up her mind and no one could stop her from making up her mind. In other words, this was her decision after careful consideration. Her decision to quit their world conquering team was something that she had to do.
A stable life was more important to her than their dreams and ideals. This blow didn't affect Delius much. After all, everyone had their own ambitions. But this was Curieta, his lover. There was only one possibility for her to say such words. In her heart, a stable life had far surpassed her love for him. This was the only explanation for why Curieta suddenly wanted to quit.
What happened? He was sure that Curieta still loved him because the way Curieta looked at him had never changed. If Curieta really fell in love with someone else, she would tell him directly instead of rejecting him like this. That was her personality. Once she had decided on something, she would continue to do it. They had always been like that.
He clearly remembered the reason why he said that he wanted to conquer the world. It was because in his heart, only the world was worthy of Curieta. This world would be his wedding gift to Curieta. Their love story would be spread throughout the world forever. This was something that both of them knew. So to them, Curieta giving up on her dream of conquering the world was equivalent to giving up on their love.
He had mixed feelings. He desperately wanted to know what had made Curieta become like this and what had shaken her heart. Now, he just wanted to kill the bastard who had shaken Curieta's heart with his axe and then take Curieta back.
"Delius, don't you understand? Noxus has changed. A country's strength shouldn't be limited to … "
"Report!"
Curieta saw the anger and doubt in her lover's eyes. She wanted to explain, but she was interrupted by a soldier who suddenly came in. A messenger panted as he walked to the entrance of their tent and shouted loudly. Both of them fell silent. In the end, they didn't say anything. They planned to talk about it after the messenger left.
"… Come in!"
Curieta rubbed her forehead. She really didn't understand why Delius could calmly watch those children die. However, the messenger's news made her realize that it was already an extravagant hope for her to have a good talk with Delius.
"This is an order from the general. Delius is ordered to head to Tasna and mobilize the troops there to the frontline. Curieta is to escort three days of food to the frontline!"
There weren't any clichés or titles. The order from the general was so concise. The two of them exchanged glances and shook hands. Without a doubt, this order meant that they were about to launch a large-scale attack. Their short reunion was over. The next time they met, it would either be in the casualty barracks or on the frontlines.
"See you at the frontline."
"Okay, I'll wait for you there."
At this moment, the two warriors who loved each other promised to meet again with their most sincere feelings.
