Chapter 1262 Even Void Has Done It

The night went by slowly and Grey and Klaus spent their time going through the City. There were a few places worth visiting, so they went there to spend their time. 

Since moving to the Aurora Continent, Klaus had stopped most of the things he usually does. Grey was a little happy for him since it meant Klaus wouldnʼt bother him with those things again. All they do now is enjoy good wine and food in each othersʼ company. 

In an Inn. 

Grey and Klaus were eating while talking about the meeting they just left. Klaus soon changed the topic. 

”Grey, youʼve never had a girlfriend, Iʼm starting to get worried about you.” Klaus looked at his friend worriedly, ”Whatʼs the problem? Is it that you donʼt find beautiful girls? I can find one for you if you want.” 

Grey didnʼt expect Klaus to bring this up all of a sudden and almost choked on the wine he was drinking. 

”For now, Iʼm not interested in that.” He replied after a light cough, ”And I havenʼt found the one yet.” 

”How will you find the one when you already have the mentality of not wanting anyone?” Klaus used his index finger to hit Greyʼs head as if telling him to think, and then added, ”Youʼre too stuck up. All you do is train, train, and train.” 

”The few times youʼre not training, youʼre either going on a competition or an expedition to increase your strength.” 

”Youʼre too focused on trying to grow too strong that youʼre losing sight of the beauty of life. Have fun, thereʼs no harm in that.”

Grey looked at Klaus and thought hard about it, to be honest, Klaus wasnʼt wrong. Itʼs not that he hasnʼt seen beautiful girls, or girls with good values, but he was still too stuck up with wanting to grow strong enough to protect everyone that he didnʼt want to give himself a shot at love. 

It was a beautiful thing, but at the moment, he didnʼt think it was meant for him. 

”You donʼt understand. I have goals I need to achieve.” 

”Boohoo! You didnʼt awaken your elements like others and was late by a few years. Thatʼs all in the past. Look at you! Youʼre literally the dream of every girl, yet here you are, single to the core.” Klaus knew Greyʼs reasons, but he didnʼt think it was enough to deny himself a good life. 

”Youʼve grown so much. What more do you want?” He asked. 

”Iʼm someone a lot of people want dead.” Grey said, he took a sip of the drink and said, ”You said it yourself back there, what if they wanted to kill you just because youʼre friends with me?” 

”Wouldnʼt it be selfish of me to put someone in danger just because I want love?” 

”I mean, the thought does thrill me. But putting more people in danger just to satisfy my emotions isnʼt something I want to do.”

”What if they kill her? What would you want me to do?” Grey asked question after question which Klaus had no answers to. 

”You see, itʼs not that I donʼt want that, but I can not bring myself to do that. Iʼve thought hard about this, and to be honest, Iʼm praying the day I fall in love with someone doesnʼt come any time soon.” 

”Heh! You wonʼt be able to escape it.” Klaus scoffed and added, ”People like you are the ones who tend to love the most. The moment you find someone, youʼd love them wholly. Itʼs good, but given your current thoughts, itʼs not something Iʼll advise.” 

”So, why are you bringing it up?” Grey asked. 

”Youʼre too lonely.” Klaus smirked before looking at him with disdain, ”Youʼre already past twenty-five and still havenʼt had any sort of intimacy with a woman. To be honest, Iʼm disappointed.” 

Grey wanted to speak when Klaus cut him off again. 

”Iʼm sure even Void has been with another cat.” 

Void, who was by the side eating, was stunned when he heard his name in the conversation the duo were having. 

He raised his head to look at the duo, and his small mouth which was filled to the brim with food was funny to look at. 

”See, he canʼt even deny it.” Klaus pointed out. 

Void looked at Klaus as if wanting to say something, but food was still in his mouth, and he was even too surprised to say anything. 

Grey looked at Void oddly, and then thought of something. 

”Oh right, I have something for you.” 

The juice he got from that tree which according to the man had aphrodisiac in it came to mind. He didnʼt want that, and he was sure Klaus would most definitely want it. 

When he explained the uses of the juice to Klaus, Klaus was grinning from teeth to teeth. 

”Give it to me.” He stretched out his hand, after a while he said, ”No wait, youʼll keep some for yourself. Its uses are not that bad. You know you need to comprehend the elements and increase their grades.” 

”Why donʼt you try using it? Donʼt worry, Iʼll make sure you get to relieve yourself. There are tons of girls in this place.” He tried to convince Grey into using the juice. 

Grey wasnʼt that foolish, so he naturally wouldnʼt fall for that. 

Klaus shrugged when he saw it, ”At least I tried. But just so you know, if your dad was like you, you wouldnʼt have been born. Think about that while you train.”

Grey wanted to speak but shut his mouth, there was nothing for him to say. Arguing with Klaus would not bring him any benefits, and Klaus would most likely win the argument anyway.

Void just stared at the duo, unsure of how to react to Klausʼ statement. 

When Klaus noticed he was still staring at him, ”What? Was I lying?l

Void swallowed his meal and focused on eating and drinking his wine. 

Those close to them who heard their conversation looked at the duo and the cat eating seriously, unsure of what to do with the information they unwillingly obtained.
