Chapter 159
A SUGGESTION OF KING FIRE
HALI’S POV
I hit Pyro’s door three times. I knew he was inside, but he just did not want to welcome me into his chamber. He used not to speak even though he could hear. Sometimes, I wanted to kick his balls, especially when I needed advice. Raiden was not here, he was living at the Lightning Pack with his wife. His relationship with Queen Adhira was the same, fighting day and night, did not use to that. Zephyrus? I did not damn care about him. All coming out of his mouth was a piece of shit. He did not even know how to be serious. And Colden? That damn bastard did not know how to suggest.
Zarya was with his brother, they were organizing the new home of Khal and Matilda at the Beta’s Quarter. I was looking for something romantic, so Zarya would know I was sincere and not playing. I had no idea if this was just me who was thinking that she had a trust issue. My first plan for night one was to go walk in the river, watching the moonlight, and yet I could not think anymore, so I badly need advice from anyone. From Pyro, specifically.
I kicked the door as he could not open it for about a freaking minute. “Hali! Are you damn serious!” Finally, he burst the door opened and let me in. I immediately went to the interior and sat on the couch.
“I fucking need your damn balls suggestion.”
“Damn it! Just suggestion? You are about to ruin my door!”
He was so irritated. He was talking more than one word. “Just say anything.”
“About?” He quaked his head as he walked to the side table, and grabbed the cup of hot chocolate that for sure Fira was created.
“A date?”
He prevented the formation of a smile on his lips when he could not handle he laughed so freaking hard balls. “You, serious?”
“Do I look joking?” I rolled my eyes as I folded my arms under my chest. “Make your suggestion fast before I cut your shaft.”
“What do you want to know?”
“Some sweet shits about a woman?” I gazed up at him as he was standing near me. He sipped his hot chocolate and then started to think.
“You don’t know how to sing and play the piano.”
“As if?” The corner of my upper lip moved up. “I’m not you who do such shits一”NôvelDrama.Org content.
“Hey, don’t curse too much! Ember is here!” He pointed at the little girl who was deeply sleeping. I did not notice her because I was focused on my goal of going here. I lowered my voice as I disliked to awake the little angel.
“Give her flower.”
“I already did that.”
“Are you serious? You should do that regularly, not just once.”
If only I was teasing him, I would ask him how many times he said the word ‘serious.’ well, I was damn sincere and freaking serious here. Trying to be a romantic lover for Zarya. She was lucky to have me.
Right?
“Flower suggestion?” I was bored, hearing him. I felt like I was wasting my time.
“You go to the garden and then find.”
“Any more romantic than that?”
“Hali, if you love that person every simple thing is romantic. For you and for her. You don’t have much effort because your heart is doing each job to beat for only one person.” He went to the bed and tapped Ember’s thigh when she was about to wake up. “Bring her to the river and show her to the moon. Vow to it that she will be the greatest love of all. Moon didn’t fail me.” He caressed Ember’s chubby cheek. “Look what it gives to me. A little one…”
I kept silent. By gazing at Pyro, he matured by having a child and wife. He seemed like a real father who just thinking of the good for his family. The family that I dreamt about for us. Ember looked like Fira, but from some angles, her features seemed like Pyro. King Fire’s eyes could not deny the contentment he was feeling in his heart right now.
When will the time I and Zarya will have the same contentment in my heart?
“Brother, just go with the flow. Zarya loves you, she will be glad even just your presence.” He looked up and then think again. “There’s a near cave here with the falls inside and full of phytoplankton which illuminates the place. You can bring her there.”
“Where is that?”
“Bioluminescence cave. Near the side river in the north. I just saw it from the book of the Elemental Kingdom.”
“Thanks, Buddy.” I hurried towards the door. I was about to leave him when I remembered Ember. I climbed on the bed and kissed her forehead. I rushed again towards the door and held the doorknob when Pyro talked.
“Tsk. I wanna laugh at you. Remember, when I said you’re gonna fall in love crazily and you said love doesn’t exist to you? The day that loves overcome you has come.”
I gave him a smirk. “It happens before you said that.”
His eyes widened. I left the room with my grin ear by ear.

I went to the Beta’s Quarter after my conversation with Pyro. I peeked at the door. I could hear the loudness of Zarya and Khal’s laughs.
“She looks like a cat.” Khal was sitting on the stool chair while organizing the strand of Matilda’s hair. “A cat with white fur.” They all laughed I did not know what was funny.
“Did you tell Hali about going to the Human World?” Suddenly, Khal asked Zarya.
“Not yet. I’m waiting for him. He’ll go with us.”
“Can I go?” Matilda interrupted their conversation.
“Of course.”
I waited for a moment before I walked inside and greeted them. “Hey!” Zarya immediately ran toward me and embraced me. Oh, her hug was too tight. I could not breathe.
I moved my face down on her ear and whispered. “We’ll go somewhere, Baby.”
“Can we join?” Matilda was teasing me. She knew we would have a night alone.
“No. Arrange your own date, Fucker.” I grabbed Zarya’s hand and pulled her away from them.
I am nervous. Will she like there?
