Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

"Good morning, Hugo " Abigail looked at Hugo before smiling, trying to cover up her flustered face. She bit the inside of her lips trying to hide what she was feeling.

They were on their way towards the garden. She requested the maid to set it up so that they could have a peaceful breakfast.

"You look beautiful in the morning, Abigail," Hugo said gently when he noticed that she was well dressed.

Abigail's cheeks instantly heated up at what he said. She was trying her best to surpass the smile forming on her lips right now.

"Thank you," she replied back as she sat in front of Hugo. The both of them ate quietly, filling their stomach with nutritious food. She doesn't know why, but she can still feel that here cheeks were still heating up because of what he said earlier.

She was honestly speechless at what he said. It was still early in the morning and who was in the right mind to say that in front of their maids? He likes to say it straightforwardly, without even stuttering and getting embarrassed about it in front of other people.

'Is Hugo really like this? Why didn't I notice this in the past?' she shyly asked herself.

Although the food is delicious and tasty, my stomach seems to can't digest it.

Abigail was now thinking of the words that Hugo had said earlier. 'I look beautiful, really?' He wasn't the first person to tell her that, but why was she reacting like this?

"Are you okay, Abigail?"

Hugo was worried when he saw that Abigail had stopped eating. She was just looking in his face as if there was something interesting on it.

Well, he already knew that he was handsome.

"Y-Yes" Abigail answered unconsciously. She smiled and ate her food once again trying to calm her heart. It was beating crazily.

'I think I'll have a heart attack one of these days. My heart has not been beating properly these past few days.'

She couldn't meet Hugo 's intense gaze. The gaze that can melt her and struck her into stones.

When they finished eating. The two of them sat outside for a while trying to relax.

Abigail glanced over at Hugo. "Are you going to leave now?" she asked him curiously since it was already close to noon.

"Nah." Hugo shook his head. He already informed her mother that he would be staying here until late at night. He knew for sure that they would just went towards Rome's funeral once again. He will just show up tomorrow on his burial day.

He planned to do something later at night for tomorrow. He gotta prepare something so that Rome's death wouldn't be put in vain.

Even if he was one of the person who was the reason why he became like this, of course, his life was still precious that it shouldn't just be put in waist.

This will be one of his steps before he thought on how to save those women in the hospital, He do not know when will he able to come and visit them to look and see what was their condition but he was feeling helpful that somehow, they would still be okay even after a few days.

He still needed to see whether they were okay to be released of that jail-like room. Because he knew for sure that it would be bad if he will release them without knowing what their condition was first.

He might endanger a lot of people if that happened.

The only thing that he knew for now was that the people under Julius's care can control those people.

'So this is what they were saying when they said that they wanted to build an army that will b feared by the world.' He tilted his head to the side.

Fighting with them felt like as if he was fighting with a hundred people even though there was only 10 of them. Their speed was much faster, the same with their strengths. And there was one thing that he was in disadvantage.

Since they were acting as if they weren't in the right mind, they do not feel tired or pain after all the attacks. They wouldn't even know if they lost an arm or a leg since they couldn't see or feel at all.

It was as if he was in a movie where he was the target of these people.

"Should we go to a picnic?" Abigail thought of an amazing idea as she looked at Hugo who was on her side.

"Well, that's a good idea. Where are we going though?" his forehead creased as he looked around.

Abigail winked at Hugo. "There was a spot near our house. Don't worry no one was going there."

" Then let's go" Hugo's deep and masculine voice entered Abigail's ears that sends chills to her body.

She looked at Hugo and got flustered when she saw that he was looking at her as well. She quickly looked away as she felt her cheeks burning.

'Isn't he, my boyfriend? Then why does this feel awkward?'

"Did you sleep well?" Hugo was interested since he remembered that he slept and woke up later that her.

"Of course," Abigail answered enthusiastically that her answer almost felt like it has another meaning in it.

"Good" He nodded as he replied back. It became awkward after that talk. The silent air forming was unbearable.

"Hehe" Abigail awkwardly laughed.

Abigail saw Hugo looking at her with furrowed brows. She pouted her lips and look at her side hiding her embarrassment.

They stopped walking in front of a greenfield filled with trees. The scenery made Hugo's jaw almost drop. There was a fall at the right side of it. A picnic setup can be seen at the middle.

"Did you already plan this earlier?" Hugo chuckled when he saw that Abigail was blushing.

Abigail glared at him, but it quickly changed when she saw Hugo smiling. Her heart melted at what she saw. At least she knew that he appreciated her efforts.

Hugo guided Abigail as they walk together towards the setup.

The guards who were following them stayed at the side. The only one who was following them was a maid carrying a basket that Hugo think was filled with foods that they could snack on while looking at the view.

The maid arranged the foods for the both of them. Abigail helped since Hugo couldn't really move due to the bandage on his waist.

"What do you want to do now, Abigail?" He asked after they sat comfortably.

"Up to you" Abigail said shyly. He looks amazed by her answer.

Abigail laughed awkwardly by that. She was wary of her surroundings since there were guards around.

"Don't mind them. Let's eat first because I know that you are hungry already" He said since they walked for almost 30 minutes.

"Let's tour around, Abigail " Abigail look up and got surprised when Hugo's hand greeted her.

"Uhm…" Abigail doesn't know what to say. He kneeled down and grab her hand. Hugo knew that she was hesitant because of the people surrounding them.

However, he didn't care for all of that. Making her look straight at his eyes.

"I told you that you should not mind them." He uttered.

Abigail looked away and cleared her throat. He stood up and looked away too. She held her own cheeks while standing up to calm her nerves down and hide her blushing face.

They have been walking for a few minutes now, that her feet was starting to ache.

Abigail saw a large stone at the side of the falls. It's a great spot to sit at, giving you the completely look of the field.

" Hugo!" She shouted after counting up to three to gain the confidence to do it.

Hugo glanced at Abigail's direction. She pointed out the rock which she saw earlier. He looked at her with questioning. She sighed and mouthed 'I want to sit'. He slowly nodded at what she mouthed and begun to walk towards the direction of the rock.

Abigail followed him happily, thinking that it will be a rest time for her now. Once they reached the destination, she delightfully sat and closed her eyes.

Hugo smirked at Abigail. She rolled her eyes once again before looking at the fall's direction. The sound of the falling water was like a music to her ears. It was creating a melodious sound making the atmosphere livelier.

The birds flying in the sky and the trees that was dancing with wind calms the both of them

You know that feeling when a scenery calm you down?

It was the feeling that both Hugo and Abigail were experiencing. It was making their worries vanished into thin air.

Hugo took a deep breath as he closed his eyes. He was feeling the freshness of the air as he listened carefully to the sound of the falling water.

It was probably the last time that he will experience this kind of peace. Because after tomorrow, he could already feel that there will be going to be a big change coming into his life.
