I Just want a Peaceful life

The moment Anna slumps onto the ground, she immediately sleeps on the ground without caring that she is still in the middle of sparring. Seeing this, Angus couldn't help but facepalm at the bubble-obsessed girl's act.

However, Jayna seems to be used to Jayna's behavior and tells the nearby maid to take care of Anna before leaving the training ground. Currently, she is also pretty exhausted and drenched in sweat. Looking in Jayna's direction, Angus couldn't help but smile mischievously.

Then, Angus silently cast a camouflage spell on himself while stalking Jayna towards her room. Unlike when he sneaks into the royal palace, stalking someone silently is a more challenging task, especially since there are a lot of employees such as maids, butlers, and guards walking around the area.

After a while, Angus managed to follow Jayna entering her private room. Then, Jayna begins to undress her clothes inside the bathroom slowly. Angus couldn't help but appreciate her body. His eyes keep following Jayna's slow movement.

Angus feels like being teased by her slow undressing. He feels like a starved beast looking at a delicious piece of meat in front of it. If he is not having great self-control, Angus probably will attack Jayna and eat her alive.

Looking at Jayna's slow movement, Angus realizes something and approaches Jayna. Suddenly, Angus begins to help Jayna undress her training clothes.

"Hee.. I thought you would wait a little longer." said Jayna without surprise at Angus' sudden appearance.

"And let you tease me?? You are a really naughty girl. Anyway, when did you realize my presence?" asked Angus while slowly caressing Jayna's sweating body.

"Since the start. There is no way I couldn't feel you if you were nearby." replied Jayna before kissing Angus.

Then, Angus starts to undress his clothes while having a deep passionate kiss with Jayna. Later, they begin having a shower together before soaking inside a warm bathtub while cuddling each other.

Inside the bathtub, Angus keeps caressing Jayna's body while kissing her neck and shoulder from behind. Angus feels like his worry and negative thoughts are completely washed away.

Unfortunately, Jayna somehow managed to detect Angus's distress even without their mental connection.

"Angus, Is something wrong?" asked Jayna.

"Hmm.. Did I really show it in my face?" asked Angus back.

"No, you hide it perfectly. But did you forget that my phoenix power is related to emotion? I could feel you are somehow conflicted about something." replied Jayna.

"Haa.. no wonder. Well, you will also hear this news anyway. The Nergal Kingdom officially declared war with us this morning." said Angus.

Hearing this news, Jayna couldn't help but also be shocked. Although she never experienced war, she still has some memories and knowledge about war from the Fire Phoenix. For Fire Phoenix, war is the last place she wants to be.

As a phoenix with emotion-related power, she is pretty sensitive toward emotion, whether negative or positive. From the Fire Phoenix's memories, war is a place that could produce a powerful negative emotion.

Even if Fire Phoenix itself has a strong will and mind, she still always feels uncomfortable in this kind of place. Hate, anguish, greed, anxiety, rage, fear, even madness will always be brewing in the war.

For ordinary people, they will feel only slight discomfort by staying in the war. But, for Fire Phoenix, who is sensitive about other people's emotions, it is nothing but a suffocating place.

In the past, the fire phoenix even managed to turn two whole nations to ash because they were in a war over petty things and disturbing her dwelling. Although it could be said to be a ruthless act, she also understands why Fire Phoenix wants to burn the two nations.

The negative emotion born from the war is too strong and could make Fire Phoenix very uncomfortable. If it only happens in days or weeks, it is still tolerable. But, it is a different story if it happens in months or years.

Even the strong-willed Fire Phoenix will also start irritated by all the negative emotions from the war. At that time, it is also normal for strong beasts like Fire Phoenix to destroy a nation for a petty reason.

Feeling Jayna's distraught emotion through their bond, Angus immediately hugged Jayna tighter.

"Hushh.. It's okay. I am here. I'll never leave you." said Angus trying to calm Jayna.

After calming her mind, "Haa.. If I know the war will happen so soon, I should follow Ian and the others searching for Frozen Heart." replied Jayna with a sigh.

"You know yourself. It is impossible without creating a commotion. Hell.. you are even prohibited from going towards other allied countries now." said Angus.

"Yeah, those malicious nobles should just think about themself." said Jayna.

"Hmm.. How about we go away to a place quite far from the battlefield? I think as long as you are not near the battlefield, you will feel less of those negative emotions from the war." said Angus.

"Is there such a place? I mean.. you just said to yourself, 'I can't go out without creating a commotion.'" said Jayna.

"Actually, there is a place inside the Heart Kingdom. However, I am not too sure if this place is good for you or not." said Angus.

"Hmm??" responded Jayna curiously.

"Well, since the Nergal kingdom is attacking us, there is a possibility the other nearby kingdom will also launch an attack. It means we need to avoid all the places that border the other nation which only leave one place." said Angus.

"Where is it?" asked Jayna.

"It is Sunset City. Sunset City is surrounded by our own territory and quite far from the frontline battlefield. Basically, if war happens, this place is the only one that will be less affected. However…" said Angus.

"There is a dangerous epidemic plaguing the whole area." added Jayna.

"Yeah… Now, I am not too sure if it is a good place for you to come. I hear the epidemic is very dangerous. Even if it may not be able to infect you, you could still feel the strong anguish emotion from the infected one." explained Angus.

"However, I think the war will not end soon and could go on for a long time as we will be very passive in the first place. I am certain it will affect the whole nation, especially the capital city. " added Angus.

"Hmm… So the choice is staying here while the war slowly influences this place or going towards a place with strong anguish not to get affected by the war?" asked Jayna.

"Yeah.. For me, it didn't look so different. I think staying here is better." said Angus.

"Nope.. war is a horrible place. Just a small influence of it makes me want to throw up." refused Jayna directly.

"Haa… But you can't go towards Sunset city either." said Angus.

"If I go there, will you accompany me?" asked Jayna.

"Ehh… Of course. I am already addicted to your body. There is no way I could let you go far away without me." said Angus while massaging Jayna's body.

"Urmm.. Then, it is not a problem." said Jayna while enjoying Angus's touch.

"Hee.. Are you sure? There will be some strong negative emotion there." asked Angus.

"Yeah, I am sure. Although the epidemic is also a source of negative emotion, it is still better than war. If I am choosing between the two, I will definitely choose the epidemic place." clarified Jayna

"Besides, you will be coming with me. I believe you will be able to find the cure for the plague in no time." added Jayna.

"Well, I am not too sure myself since I am not too proficient in disease and medical stuff. But, I think with the help of [Analyze], I could find the cure soon." said Angus.

"Then, it is Sunset City." said Jayna.

"Yeah, anyway, did you really just detect me from our bond?" asked Angus.

"Of course not. At first.. " said Jayna as she continued chatting with Angus while enjoying their time.

Later, they go towards King Leon to ask for permission to go towards Sunset City.

"So, you two are going towards Sunset City?" asked King Leon while glancing at the couple.

"Yes.. we want to.." said Angus.

Before Angus could explain further, "Alright, I agree." said King Leon, cutting Angus's sentence.

"Ehh.. Aren't you going to hear our explanation and purpose?" asked Angus.

"You two could go anywhere as long as it is still inside the Heart Kingdom. Though I prefer both of you go towards the border city." said King Leon while smiling.

'That's the last place we want to be.' thought Angus and Jayna.

"Nope, thank you. That's the last place we want to be." said Angus.

"Alright, but the offer will still open for both of you." said King Leon.

"Then, we will excuse ourselves first." said Angus as they walked towards the office door.

"Oh yeah.. Make sure to always use a contraceptive spell." chimed King Leon.

Hearing this, both Angus and Jayna stopped their walk for a moment.

"What?! You think I don't know how many times you two do it? Moreover, you always release it inside her. Well, I know the feeling of wanting to release it inside, so I am not judging you. Just don't forget to always use the contraceptive spell." said King Leon.

"S-Sure." replied Angus.

Angus and Jayna immediately go out of the room as they are embarrassed to continue this topic.
