Beast Evolution

Chapter 177 177 I Think I'm In Love With...



"At least we're back" Ray inhaled sharply and sighed, a hand touched him and he looked to the other side.

Leia just woke up and she was stretching her body, from the looks of it she didn't know she was on a carriage.

Ray held her before she could hit Gabriel's head, she opened her eyes slightly and the bright light from the sun was too much for her eyes.

She wanted to use her hands to cover her eyes but Ray held both of them thinking she was still asleep.

"Leave me alone..." Leia said in a cute sleepy voice.

"Why, so you can push Gabriel off the carriage, stay still" Ray whispered in her ears.

"Hey Ray...you are so cute and your skin is so smooth, I feel like licking you," Leia said with her eyes closed.

"Huh! w-what are you saying, rest your head" Ray rested wanting to rest Leia's head on the carriage but she shook his off.

"I'm serious, I think I'm in love with..." Leia slumped and fell on Ray before she could finish her sentence.

'She seems drunk, the lightning must have gotten her real good, we are already at our destination so it's all good'

'But I haven't seen Leia make an advance at a boy, or a boy flirting with Leia...I wonder who she's liked'

'Maybe it's Ivan, no Ivan already likes Sofia and I think Sofia also has a thing for Ivan, I know it's not Gabriel and it's not Jack and it's definitely not me'

"We're here," Alfred said as they approached the gates.

Ray looked in surprise, things had really changed during their time at the capital, at the top of the wall archers were stationed there and inside the academy security was tight.

'Was the academy attacked...' Ray wondered.

The knights stopped the carriage in front of a house near the gate, Gabriel and Leia were carried inside the house and laid on the bed.

Authur, Alfred, and Ray were given a change of clothes and they made themselves comfortable. After a while, they were served and Ray smiled brightly.

He didn't forget his promise to his pet but in the knight academy, they would never be given meat except once a week.

But now he was given a plate of meat separate from his meal, he ate the rest of his food except the meat and the knights looked at him with curious eyes.

"We'll be staying here till both of them are okay, then we'll head to the academy and good work defeating that Minotaur, I know it wasn't easy," Alfred said.

"Thank you, Sir..." Ray replied and moved his plate of meat as Authur was staring at it.

"What are you going to use that for if you aren't going to eat it?" Authur asked.

"I'm going to eat it" Ray quickly replied.

Authur and Alfred left the room leaving Ray alone, he wasn't alone but Leia and Gabriel were unconscious while Cynthia was sleeping.

'I wonder if the meat would still be okay if I preserve it in my [Void], or rather I should summon Silver here instead'

'No that's a bad idea, what if the senior knights come back, or any of the knights enter the room' Ray was pondering on what to do when Leia raised her head.

"Leia are you awake?" Ray asked her.

Leia's body jerked up when she heard a voice, she looked down and saw Ray looking at her.

"Where are we?" she asked as she looked around.

"We're inside a house near the gate, we are waiting for you and Gabriel to regain consciousness then we can leave"

"Oh...what happened, I remember Sir James shouting and telling us to move away then I blacked out" Leia explained.

"The Minotaur had an elemental attribute, it created a field of lightning around itself and attacked all of us at once"

"Ohh...so Sir James didn't fall unconscious and he defeated the Minotaur?"

"No, I did"

"You are the one that defeated the Minotaur?" Leia asked.

"Yes, I summoned Silver when we were attacked, somehow Silver managed to evade the attack and he slashed the Minotaur's eyes"

"So you defeated it, what about Sir James, how come he fell unconscious and you didn't..."

​ "I don't know, but my strength is getting back to normal, but I dislocated my bone but it's fine now," Ray said and quickly regretted telling Leia because she shouted at him for being careless.

The three of them were finally awake and some women brought food for them probably under the command of the senior knights.

Ray placed the meat he saved for Silver in his [Void] it was too risky to summon him here because if the senior knights were to find out, he would surely be caught.

The senior knights were already on the lookout for him in his beast form and they had seen Silver many times.

The senior knights came back and they all head to the academy. The sun that came out in the morning was now covered by clouds and the weather was chilly.

Ray was wearing normal commoner clothes and a black boot, the clothes were brown and a rope had to be tied before the pants could fit Ray and that made him very uncomfortable.

Still, that didn't take away the joy he had, he had missed the knight academy so much and his friends, and Lily.

'Ohh...I can't wait to see her, I bet she would have missed me, or what if she got angry and left me for another boy'

'What if she's now dating someone else, what if....what if...' Ray's mind was not settled as he kept thinking of the worst realities.

They walked through the gates and the senior knights walked toward their quarters.

"Hey Ray, tomorrow morning come see us," Authur said.

"Okay Sir" Ray replied.

"Okay guys, see you around bye," Cynthia said and walked towards the other side of the knight academy.
