Army of True Salvation

Kreiss's explanation made it more clear. His painting is really beautiful. Honestly, Sheloah found it annoying for Kreiss to be arrogant and rude, and she couldn't decipher the reasons why she was kidnapped.

Until now, she can't find a single clue as to why she was kidnapped. She really wanted to know the reasons why. She also wondered as to why Kreiss knew her.

Kreiss returned to Sheloah's side and she looked at the guy beside her attentively.

"Kreiss," she said his name and he looked at Sheloah attentively, making her heart jolt.

"What," the guy asked and his lips curled into a smile, making Sheloah blush once more.

"N-nothing," Sheloah said as she stammered and Kreiss chuckled.

"Tell me what you're thinking of, princess," he said as he took Sheloah's hand. "Let me guess…" He put his face near Sheloah's and he whispered by her ear, making her shiver. "You want to know how I knew you?"

Sheloah felt her face redden and when she heard him, she pushed him away.

"Stop doing this," she complained and Kreiss just gave her a smirk. "You don't have to act this way! Sheesh…"

Kreiss walked towards a couch and sat down. He motioned for Sheloah to sit down beside him before he spoke.

"If you won't sit beside me, then I won't tell you a single thing," he said and this made Sheloah roll her eyes at him but she still sat beside him, anyway. Kreiss got another glass of water for her and Sheloah drank it to her heart's content.

"Thank you."

Sheloah was waiting for him to speak and after a while, he spoke, making her wonder and think about the past.

"We talked two years ago."

Sheloah tilted her head to the left. "What? Two years ago? If I'm not mistaken, I was around 14 years old that time. I'm 16 now so… that makes you 18," Sheloah said and Kreiss grinned at the girl beside him.

"Is it necessary to flirt," she asked coldly and Kreiss chuckled softly.

"You're so fun to tease," he said and Sheloah frowned at the guy beside her.

"Will you please get to the point," she requested and Kreiss now became serious.

"I was in Baguio that time and it was in your school when I took an examination," he started and his face suddenly went near Sheloah's and her eyes widened. "Now… what is that examination that I took in your school," he asked and Sheloah remembered what Kreiss said. If she could not answer his question, his face would inch by inch, get closer to hers.

'There goes my precious first kiss!'
