56 Chapter 45

Evan POV:

I had eaten the food and also returned the plate.

Aside from pretty much all the elves coming up to meet me, I was thinking about the info I got.

I'm definitely missing something. Because this hero dude writes here that he's definitely met the Queen Elizabeth of the elf kingdom.

Then why does she not remember him?

I'm definitely missing something here. .......But what?

Well, I still have a lead, which is Lucy's grandfather and I have to talk to Ruby about the books too.

So let's do that first. Let's ask ruby first.

.........

.......

.....

"Well, I don't really know. It's like I always had them. Why do you ask?"

Is what she said.

Damn, my last hope is Lucy's grandfather then I'll recollect all my findings back home, re-read all the diaries and try to find some connection between all the evidence I have. Returning back home is ganna be a pain in the ass.

Well I should have fun now, everyone is having fun so I might as well, but what do I do?

Let's hang out with Tifa. I'm bored anyway.

I was about to look for Tifa but I saw Trish coming towards me.

[Hey Evan, d-do you have a minute?] (Trish)

[I got tons of minutes if it's you.] (Me)

[.....not here, Somewhere more.... private.] (Trish)

Holy Shit! Is he gonna propose? Probably not... I Hope.

and thus I went back to that corner where Elizabeth told me her story.

[So, Wut up?] (Me)

[I-I need a favor.] (Trish)

[.....yea?] (Me)

This is the first time I've seen Trish being all nervous.

[I... I... Damn It! Why is it So Hard To Say It!?] (Trish)

[Woah, What's wrong?] (Me)

[Promise Me that You Won't Laugh Or Tell Anyone Else!] (Trish)

[I Swear. You don't have to hide anything from me.] (Me)

Dam, What's got Trish this much shy?

[T-There's this..... girl that I want to talk to..... but I don't know how.] (Trish)

HOLY SHIT MY DUDES IN LOVE!!!!!

[Okay, I'll be straight with you.]

I started counting on my fingers.

[Firstly, I'm glad you're honest with me.] (Me)

[Secondly, I'm the worst person to talk about this with.] (Me)

[And Thirdly. Strap in Boy! Cause I'm gonna Teach you How to woo a Lady!] (Me)

[W-What!? No! I just want-] (Trish)

[You like her, don't you?] (Me)

[.......yes.] (Trish)

[That's enough of a reason. Now, have you talked to anyone else about this?] (Me)

[Do you seriously think that a Captain like me would ask others for this kind of advice] (Trish)

[Yeaaaa, okay now, who's the lucky girl?] (Me)

[....it's the captain of the elves army's assassin.] (Trish)

[Looks like someone got rid of his hatred.] (Me)

[Okay, now listen closely. My first advice is that always be yourself. Don't be like "I'm Batman!", cause after that even I can't save you.] (Me)

[Okay? I think I got what you're trying to say.] (Trish)

[Good, secondly, Be confident. A woman likes a man who can always take the lead.] (Me)

At least I think so.

{Author Note: Trish is in the wrong hands.}

[Okay. I got it.] (Trish)

[Alright, next is that you need to be honest at the right time and lie at the other times.] (Me)

[What?] (Trish)

[For example, you have to compliment her for anything she likes even though you don't like it, but when you're talking something else, like how many brothers you have, then you need to be honest.] (Me)

Trish nodded.

[I think I got it.] (Trish)

[Okay, now don't talk about any other girls you know of, and if she starts talking about them then try to keep the talk small, like saying you don't know her, or she's only a friend. You got that?] (Me)

[Yea, I think I got it.] (Trish)

[Alright, it's also important to always maintain eye contact, smile and only give attention to her. You got that?]

[Yes.] (Trish)

[Nice, Now Go Out There And Get Yourself A Girl!] (Me)

[Thanks, Evan. I'll go right away.] (Trish)

That's my Man.

I nodded as he went off into the distance.

[What were you two doing?] (???)

Someone talked behind me.

I looked back and it was Tifa.

[Oh, hey Tifa. We were just talking about some guys stuff. I'm gonna go stalk him now, wanna join me?] (Me)

[Uhhh, Sure.] (Tifa)

[Alright.] (Me)

We followed Trish while hiding between the crowds of soldiers.

[There he is.] (Me)

[He's talking to Cerene?] (Tifa)

[Yep, and I'm gonna make sure everything goes smoothly.] (Me)

[Why?] (Tifa)

[Shhh. They're talking.] (Me)

I listened attentively to their conversation.

[Ah, Hello. Captain Trish, how do you do?] (Cerene)

Okay, Trish, you got this, just say "I'm fine" followed by something else to let the conversation going.

Trish started sweating and with dead eyes, he said.

[Yes.] (Trish)

MISSION FAILED!!! ABORT!! ABORTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

I jumped in between them.

[Hi, Hello, I need him for a few minutes, okay, thank you, bye.] (Me)

And quickly pushed Trish out of the battlefield. Without looking back.

[Trish, What the Hell Happened!?] (Me)

[I-I don't know, my heart started beating very fast, I started sweating and my mind went blank..... You know what Evan? Let's just call this off. She probably thinks I'm weird now.] (Trish)

[Hell No! You already started the fight and I'm gonna make sure that you Finish it. Back To The Corner!] (Me)

We went back to the corner and this time I have a feeling that Tifa was spying at us but I didn't care, ill tell her all about it later.

Now, how do I teach Trish about this?

Hmmmmm, The only thing he knows about is Military stuff and that does not help our situatio- Wait! Maybe I Can Use That!

Alright, Its Time To Roleplay!

I made a Serious face.

[Listen here son.] (Me)

[Wha-?] (Trish)

[You're about to face the Hardest Battle you'll ever Face. You cant use your Swords, Spears or any Other Weapons. You cant use Any Tactics or Strategies You've learned over the years......The only thing you can use is your voice.] (Me)

Trish was a bit Skeptical but still nodded.

[But, Your Body will Fail you, Your Heart won't listen to you and your Brain won't respond.] (Me)

[....Then..... how can I win this fight?] (Trish)

Well, at least he knows what I'm talking about.

[Simple. You have to "Think" that its a battle in your mind. Though on the outside it will look like a normal conversation, there will be a battle going in your mind. You have to keep Control on all your body parts so that they won't fail you.] (Me)

He nodded firmly.

[You shook hands with her before right? what were you thinking then?] (Me)

[...That I want this Peace Treaty to become successful so I didn't care about my own feelings then.] (Trish)

[Good, You have to do the same things once again. I believe in you, Trish. Now go and Show Them What You're Capable Of!] (Me)

{Author Note: Show who?}

[I Got It! I Definitely won't Fail this Time!] (Trish)

I nodded as he went away again with better determination.

[I really Hope he doesn't screw up this time.] (Me)

[What was that about?] (Tifa)

[That guy has spent most of his lifetime on revenge. Now he wants to enjoy life a little bit so I was teaching him how to do that..... I'm gonna stalk him again wanna join me again?] (Me)

[Sure.] (Tifa)

And once again we're back on our original positions.

Cerene was alone, admiring her soldiers getting along with others. And Trish is slowly closing in on the target.

[Alright, Trish is engaging the enemy.] (Me)

[What?] (Tifa)

[Oh, Sorry, I Thought it sounded Cool. Alright, now let's listen to what they're doing.] (Me)

I focused back on them again.

[H-Hello Captain Cerene. S-Sorry about before my friends are a little bit bothersome at times.] (Trish)

Alright, a little bit stiff but he's taking the Initiative so that's good.

[That's okay Captain Trish. I relate to you and please call me Cerene. We're all friends here.] (Cerene)

[T-Then please call me Trish too.] (Trish)

Cerene chuckled a bit.

[Alright, then Trish. How do you do?] (Cerene)

[Better than ever....... What do you think about the Peace Treaty?] (Trish)

And After that, My boy had gained courage and kept talking to each other about things such as Military things, Homeplace, personal stories and some more.

Trish was still stiff at the beginning but slowly gained courage and soon enough he was talking effortlessly.

I remained there for quite a while and Tifa was also observing them.

I'm gonna remain here till I'm either bored or the conversation finishes.

......

[So what made you into Joining the Queens Private Army? I heard you need Outstanding Achievements to be a Captain of such army.] (Cerene)

[.....It's a bit Complicated.] (Trish)

[Oh? How is it Complicated?] (Cerene)

[...... Its Because I was Driven By my Revenge to kill All the Demi-Humans.] (Trish)

MY BOY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!

I almost jumped forward but Tifa stopped me.

When I looked at her, she told me to wait and see.

I looked back and Cerene was Taken aback by his Comment.

[W-What?] (Cerene)

Trish took a deep breath.

[It all happened when I was still a kid.] (Trish)

And started to tell her of his story.

As a summery when he was a kid, they lived on the outskirts and his dad had hired some demi-humans of the shark kins to protect them but soon all went downhill and those guards killed every one of Trish Family but he had been Luckily hidden, and soon ran away.

[That's Awful.] (Cerene)

Trish nodded.

[After that, I Kept training so that one day I would not only get revenge but kill all the other demi-humans too. I was a Dumbass before But a Friend of mine Helped me And he showed me the correct path. I owe him a lot for that.] (Trish)

[Really? Well I guess we're both not that different then.] (Cerene)

.....And Cerene started to tell her Story now.

{Author Note: Damn, Back Story.}

To Summarize, She was a small citizen before, This and that happened and she had to take care of her little brother all alone. But unfortunately, He was Kidnapped by the Cultist and Killed or something else horrible happened to him. Filled with grief she had started serving the army. With her amazing efforts, she became a Captain of the Assasins Corps.

[I had a deep hatred with Humans. But when I heard that even they would consider the Cultist as demons then I felt wrong and tried to change my view and honestly, I didn't think that sometime later I would be exchanging hands with them.] (Cerene)

[....Sorry, about your brother.] (Trish)

They both were quiet until some of her friends came and asked for her.

[Well, I guess we should part ways here Trish.] (Cerene)

[Yea......] (Trish)

Well, The results were a little bit unsatisfactory but he did do a good job nonetheless.

[Hey Cerene... do you mind if I call you for dinner later?] (Trish)

Holy Shit! My Boy is going for the Bullet!

Cerene smiled and said [Ill look forward to it.] before going back to her Friends.

MY DUDE HAS DONE IT!!!!

YES!!!!

I ran Up to him.

[Trish! You Did It!] (Me)

Trish had a Huge Smile plastered on his face.

[Thank You Evan!] (Trish)

And he Hugged Me.

My boy is Emotional now.

Well, That took a while since its starting to turn dark now.
