Villain: The Play of Destiny
chapter-320

The yellow lights of a summer night, a cool breeze by the lakeside, a whispering memory that would never leave your mind.

There were people on the street, not a lot, but it was still unusually very quiet. It was partly because the people who were on this street were all lovers or people who had come there to find some peace and appreciate this place's beauty.

A melodious laughter suddenly sounded out, and the people who heard it, could not resist looking for its source.

However, a stage phenomenon occurred, and their reaching eyes suddenly turned away before they could land on the enchantingly beautiful girl who had just failed to suppress her laughter.

It was as if the mere memory of that melodious laughter had been erased from their minds, but in truth, their minds had only been distracted from it.

Had it not been the case, their eyes would have found a girl who was still laughing, but they would have never heard her voice because it was being shielded as well.

"What? Are you really going to do it here?" Kiara teasingly asked, knowing well that Keith was only messing with her after her little joke.

"Sure."

Her heart nearly stopped when she heard his answer before he picked her up to help her sit on the railing. However, she soon calmed down as she knew he would never do it.

She accepted his kiss, reciprocating it with all her heart, wrapping her arms around his neck, and then she locked her legs around him as well, clinging onto him as a koala would.

No one was going to look their way, but even if they could, she did not care if someone caught them kissing like this.

He was her husband, her man, and the love of her life. And in his arms, she was happy, happier than any girl could ever be.

It had been a perfect day for just the two of them. Something she had not had in a long time and had been yearning for.

They went to the Equestrian Club as they had planned, and then Keith took her to the Military District, where they tried their hands on firearms.

The lunch was her favourite seafood, after which he took her out to the movies.

In the evening, they returned to the University Town, and they spent hours trying all the Ice-Creams around every Ice-cream Parlour there.

And here they were now, by the lakeside of one of the world's most beautiful lakes, the Orisis, on a street with yellow lamps and maple trees, kissing each other without a care in this world.

When their lips separated, their eyes were locked, and they stayed locked as they smiled at each other.

"You would never do it." She finally grinned.

"I am not into Exhibitionism." He nudged his nose with hers and chuckled when she stuck her tongue at him.

"Neither am I." She told him.

"Yes. But I am not into Voyeurism either, which you are very much into." He grinned as he watched her cheeks bloom into a furious blush.

She could not deny it. After all, she, along with Rebecca and Celine had been caught red-handed when they were secretly watching Keith make love to Qingyue in the Training Room.

It would be a lie to deny that she did not enjoy it, so, he was not exactly wrong.

"I liked it because it was you." She meekly said, and without him needing to ease her nerves, she retained her confidence. "Qingyue was very mad that night." She laughed when she recalled what had followed after they had been caught.

"Well, she took it all out on Celine and Rebecca. You were saved." He too chuckled when he recalled the night.

"You know, Rebecca told me that Iseul loves watching you have sex." She suddenly said, looking at him with curious eyes.

"I know." He smiled. "She has my permission."

"She asked for it?"

"Yes." He nodded to her.

"And you say you are not into Exhibitionism!" She took a jab at him, but he just shrugged it off.

"She belongs to me." He simply said, and then took a step back before courteously bowing to her. "May I have this dance, My Lady?"

"You may, My Lord." She politely smiled and then placed her hand in his awaiting hand.

Soon, the two of them were swaying with each other under the starry sky and in the middle of the street, being completely ignored by the people who never looked their way, and just when Keith started spinning her around, Kiara briefly felt a little weightless before she realised that their surroundings had changed.

She gasped when she saw what was under their feet and where they were now, but did not lose her focus on the dance even for a moment.

They were dancing now, right in the middle of the lake, on top of the water, far away from the street they were standing on. And here, they were truly alone.

"I love you." She made sure she voiced out the feeling that was overwhelming her, and Keith kissed her on the lips, allowing them to bask in each other's taste.

It was truly a beautiful day for her, and Kiara wished that it would never end.

Half an hour later, Keith teleported them back to Yellow Street, and Kiara excitedly walked over to the Ice-Cream Parlour to get them their favourite Slushies.

She returned a few minutes later and found Keith sitting on top of the railing, looking up at the starry sky.

"Here."

"Thank you." He smiled at her as he accepted his serving and nodded to her, telling her that it was just as he liked.

"You're welcome!" She happily smiled back and then sat by his side without much effort. Her eyes soon stared at the sky too. "Keith?"

"Yeah?"

"What's up there?" She asked.

"Resources, Planets, Stars, Solar Systems, Galaxies, Blackholes..."

"No, no!" She cut him off. "I was curious if we can travel to another world through space."

"We can not." He smiled. "It's an infinite Prison Maze, and if someone does somehow manage to find a destination, in this Realm, there would only be remote worlds like ours, without any guarantee of life."

"Oh..."

"However, there's great mystery and knowledge in the alignments of the Stars. Even though this Realm is a lower Realm and an Isolated Realm, it still functions because of the Divine Laws..."

The two chatted over their topic over their icy beverages, and when they finished, they both stood up, ready to leave for their home. The girls were waiting for them, and the dinner was supposed to be ready by now.

They had only walked for half a minute when Keith stopped and turned to look down the street they were coming from.

"What is it?" Kiara curiously asked as she looked in the same direction, trying to search for what had caught Keith's attention.

"She's here." He lightly said.

"Who?" She frowned. "Kashish?"

"Yes." He nodded to her.

"Are we going to meet her?" She expectantly asked, but Keith remained silent.

It was not only Kashish who had arrived at the street but as Destiny would have it, Samrath was here too.

Keith could feel that something interesting was bound to transpire here, and the two blessed by Destiny were going to meet each other for the first time.

He randomly ran his eyes on everyone present in the street and sensed everyone present there in the shops and the buildings, and could not help but sigh in his heart.

His guess was right. Something interesting was indeed going to happen there. It was not something significant that required his immediate attention, but he decided to stay and spoil the intentions of Destiny anyway.

"You want to meet her?" He turned to his little sister and smiled.

"Yes!"

"Okay." He squeezed her hand a little and then led her in Kashish's direction.

A couple of minutes later, they reached the southern end of Yellow Street, and Kiara's eyes were already locked on a beautiful figure, who was standing under a street lamp, leaning on the railing, and looking far into the lake and the starry sky above it.

And a playful smile crept on her lips as she decided to have some fun.

"Wait here." She told Keith as she started walking towards the girl her brother had taken a liking to.

Walking up to the girl, she leaned on the railing right next to her and turned to look at her with a light smile.

"Missing someone?" She curiously asked, and the girl with the raven hair turned to look at her, her eyes briefly widening in surprise, perhaps at the beauty of the girl that surpassed hers.

Kiara too took a better look at the girl, and she had to admit in her heart that Keith had excellent taste in girls.

Kashish was tall, almost as tall as her, and her icy-blue eyes were a little haunting, forming a very stark but compelling contract with her raven hair. And then there was her figure which was very sensually developed, and covered under her modest clothes, hiding every inch of her skin even in the summers.

"You are beautiful."

The sudden words took Kashish off-guard, and she could not help but feel a little shy and happy in her heart.

A compliment from someone who was just as beautiful as you if not more was not something she was immune to since she could sense that Kiara truly meant it.

"So, whom are you missing?" The little miss of the Demiliore Family asked again.

"No one," Kashish replied, and Kiara was again impressed at her sweet and melodious voice.

"Ouch." She feigned some hurt at her words. "And there is my brother, who is helplessly in love with you, but you don't even miss him."

"Your brother is a little too young to be hopelessly in love with me, Lady Kiara." Kashish smiled at her words, and this time, it was Kiara's turn to be surprised, but she soon recovered and smiled brightly.

"I have an older brother too, and he happens to be my Husband as well." She told her, and Kashish did not know what to say to her.

Her eyes inadvertently turned to look around, trying to search for the man whom she had not seen in years.

"Are you finally missing someone now, Mir Kashish?" Kiara giggled when the girl became a little flustered after her question but she was also impressed that Kashish regained her composure very quickly.

"Is Lord Keith here?" She straightforwardly asked.

"He is, and he is watching and listening to us."

"Where?" Kashish turned to look around once again, this time, not so discreetly, but she failed to spot him.

"Behind you," Kiara told her when their eyes met again, and even though she had just looked at her back, she turned around to look again.

He was there, just like Kiara had said, and he was a little too close as well.

Her icy-blue eyes were locked on his perfect profile, and she could feel his intense eyes boring into her as well, making her heart start racing in an inexplicable feeling.

Kashish did not know how to put it into words. She just felt very unsafe, and at the same time, very safe under his eyes, if that made any sense. But it was what it was, and she was unable to take her eyes off him.

Just looking at him made her feel happy.
