BITE ME THE HOLY OF HOLIES
02 BITE ME THE HOLY OF HOLIES

To be honest, what just came out of Zzaya's lips as a request, made Callum pause for a moment with a shocked mind and mind.

He looked at Zzaya flatly. Zzaya, who was still resting while holding her feet, could only display a hopeful look. It was as if he was asking for a reason.

Callum is still Callum. He will look at something with a mind that has no sympathy or even the slightest interest.

In his gaze, Callum seemed to ask why Zzaya had asked him for company to clean himself into the River?

Callum should not be tempted or even withered, because for him, women like Zzaya, use very cunning tricks to trick and subdue men.

Behind them as ‘women’, weakness is the most ingenious way compared to blatant action and then being caught for free.

“Why?” ask Callum.

As usual, the look of his face and tone of speech remained calm but very muffle something sharply.

Zzaya who is so innocent, can not catch the question of what is asked by Callum.

“Why ... me, who should accompany you?”

“Because only Master, who sympathizes with me” replied Zzaya spontaneously.

Again, what was said by Zzaya, made Callum speechless and made the man think of something.

“You think I'm a good person?”

Zzaya bit her lower lip before replying, “Master gave me a drink and a meal. That's enough to prove, I'm not treated like a beast”

“So you mean, besides me, they treat you like that?”

Zzaya nodded stiffly. That's the truth, isn't it?

Larrate. That's what Zzaya always gets.

Zzaya's heart was a little touched, because Callum, the only person who cared about his condition even in this condition. Besides ‘orang’ it ....

Callum who had previously stood in silence for a moment, finally released one of his legs touched by Zzaya and slightly stepped back.

“Build. I don't like watching you act like that. Don't forget, I won't be interested in the drama you created just to trick me”

“—I will accompany you. Your hands remain chained and I will not let go. You're part of Atheril and a captive of Castor. So plant it all right in your brain.”

Callum's words are quite striking for Zzaya, making the look of the girl's face becomes sad.

Soon Callum put on a suit and took his sword to prepare for the river.

“Master, only Sir, right?”

Callum stared at Zzaya for a few seconds before continuing his steps out from inside the tent.

Callum did not respond to Zzaya's question and left the girl. Feeling that Callum wanted to go to the River, Zzaya quickly got up and tried to walk quickly with his legs still sick and weak. Not to forget he covered his face with a veil so that the soldiers outside did not see his appearance.

***

  On the way to the river, Callum let Zzaya walk in front of him so that the girl would not be able to think of running.

Fortunately, they rested in a location with a river. The location of the river was not far from where they built a resting camp.

Zzaya, who was walking very slowly, made Callum feel that the travel time was time-consuming. He was so anxious with Zzaya's steps that slightly stumbled.

“Ck” decak Callum, annoyed.

He approached Zzaya and immediately carried the girl from the front with both hands.

Zzaya was quite surprised and screamed as her feet floated off the ground.

“Aaahhhkk!” shout Zzaya.

“Close your mouth!” callum.

“If I let you walk like this, you can change the night to morning.”

Zzaya clenched his mouth and lips tightly. He was still tense because Callum suddenly carried him.

Zzaya's tiny body was completely full in Callum's helping hand.

Obviously, this man had a high posture, which if measured with Zzaya, Zzaya's head was only able to reach the lower part of this man's chest.

Zzaya gulped her saliva with great difficulty, even her breathing was quite restrained from being so extremely nervous.

Callum carried Zzaya as far as the journey until he arrived at the riverbank.

Upon arriving, Zzaya was removed from his carrier. Zzaya looked at Callum with a warm look before saying, “thank you, Tuan”

“Already. Quickly clean yourself. I'll wait and monitor you. Even if I turn my face away, don't think of running away or intend to drown yourself to die”

“B–baik, Tuan”

Zzaya stepped into the river. When his feet touched the water, Zzaya really felt cool and calm. He has not cleaned himself up since he was brought here.

Not wanting to keep Callum waiting, Zzaya quickly cleans up.

He opened the hood and veil first. It was very difficult because his hands were still in a chained state.

Zzaya threw the cloth he used as a hood and veil into the riverbank. After that, he cleaned himself up.

It takes quite a long time. Callum was really watching Zzaya though by turning his face the other way, not to see the girl take a bath.

“Aww!” ringis Zzaya's.

The bruising on his leg was so painful that touching him alone made Zzaya feel sore.

Hearing Zzaya's ringing just now, spontaneously made Callum look back and find a scene he had never seen before.

The moonlight was so bright at night, it made clear the scene he saw.

Zzaya's body behind her wet white dress was so imprinted.

Callum saw that with an indecipherable look.

“What's up?”

Zzaya turned towards Callum innocently and unconsciously with her current state.

“My feet, it hurts, Tuan” replied Zzaya.

“What's finished?”

Zzaya nodded, “ia, Sir. But my shirt is wet and–”

Zzaya did not continue with his words as he was conscious as he looked down, his body completely imprinted clearly.

Zzaya's face flushed. He crossed both hands in front of his chest.

As if he did not care, Callum went into the water and approached Zzaya.

He opened his coat of arms and put it on Zzaya.

Zzaya quite snapped then raised her gaze towards Callum.

As if not feeling anything, Callum held Zzaya back.

“Tu–Tuan, cover cloth–”

“Kotor. I'll give you a new cloth as your hood and veil” said Callum, cutting the sentence Zzaya had just said.

After that, Zzaya could only be silent as Callum stepped out of the shallow water to return to the camp.

As much as possible Zzaya covered her face with her long, wet black hair.

Arriving at camp, he even felt himself being noticed by many pairs of eyes.

Especially when Callum spoke in a firm tone and told anyone who paid attention to himself and Zzaya, back to the other activities.

So awkward it feels.

Callum took Zzaya down while he was inside the man's tent.

As if from the look on Callum's face asking Zzaya to wait, the man is seen arranging the wood to make a fireplace in the tent.

In a few moments, the fireplace was.

“Dry and warm his body here. You can't die before I let you, remember?”

Rigidly, Zzaya stepped closer to the fireplace. He wanted to open Callum's suit and give it to the man. Immediately arrested by Callum.

“Stay wear until your clothes are dry. You don't want any soldiers to come in when I call and see you in that state, do you?”

Zzaya nodded quickly. That's exactly what Callum said. Zzaya squatted around the fireplace.

His body was so warm and comfortable. Slowly, he did not feel cold or shiver anymore.

Callum really gave half the space to sympathize with him.

While warming his body, Zzaya accidentally turned to the back and found Callum who was undressing.

Zzaya's eyes were perfectly rounded to see something he had never seen before. A sight that embarrassed him but was hard to turn to.

Realizing that if he noticed Callum's body, Zzaya immediately returned to his position.

He was still in mind with a view of Callum's upper body.

That sculpture ...

Zzaya shook his head quickly, realising that he had seen something he should not see. Even if it was only the top, it was already embarrassing.

Especially when it happened in the river. It felt like Zzaya was unable to show himself in front of Callum.

Fortunately, the man did not look troubled at all. But still, Zzaya felt very ashamed of herself.

Zzaya continued to be around the fireplace until he felt his gaze was very heavy.

Apparently drowsiness attacked him at that moment. Slowly, Zzaya laid her body on the cloth pad of the tent and fell asleep.

Callum, who had just come around the fireplace with his clothes changed, saw that the girl was asleep.

Callum stared at Zzaya long enough that he chose not to go to the fireplace and headed to his work chair to sit down.

He took a piece of paper and ink on a pen, and wrote something on it.

After that the paper is rolled and will be sent to Castor kingdom through pigeon intermediaries.
