In a new world with you

"Where am I?" I wake up while my body is aching. I only remember that I was near death after the bloody battle. Our army was beaten and I thought I'd died. I fainted and when I woke up the enemies were gone. I was walking into the woods to find water but I was already unconscious.

"Please don't move yet, you're body is still recovering." A woman said while she was watching me over. From the looks of her clothes, she's more like a mountain woman. Even so, she's still pretty with her innocent face. She's taking care of me until for a week and I'm thankful I recovered.

I stand up and goes outside. I'm amazed at how peaceful this village and not only that. The village is rich on fruits, vegetables, and happy faces. When I'm outside the children are approaching me and keep on asking random things. I used to live in a place surrounded by a crowded place and no time for having a sweet talk to each other. That's why this kind of place is very beautiful to me.

"Are you okay now?" A woman who took care of me asked me.

"Yea, thanks to you." I nodded as I'm a bit shy of her kindness towards me. "What's your name, ma'am?" It's my way of paying respect and thanks to her. She smiles with so sweet that I think my heart will melt.

"My name is Arya and our place is called Macrohon. It's very far in the civilisation because our ancestors moved here when they're tired of living in the capital. It was crowded and many bad people there that they didn't think about humanity."

She said and I agree to her how the capital looks like. It's civilised maybe but the people never cared for each other. Yeah, this place is perfect to have a place to live on.

"By the way my name is Gerard. I'm a knight from the Capital and thank you for everything." I said to her and she smiles while waving her and said, "No, no it's fine. I will leave you first because we are out of firewoods."

She walks away right and I follow her to help. "Where are you going?" She asked me and I shyly said to her. "Let me help you." She just answered me with a smile and we now going to the mountain above to search firewoods.

I'm staying in Arya place so I help them with chores in the house. I also decided to plough the field and starts being a farmer. Arya is so cheerful and smiling woman. Even though the work in the field is really hard she accepted it with a happy face. After working in the field she brings me into a river to wash ourselves. The clear and clean water from the river is tempting me. I take off my clothes and I dive in to swim. I feel like I'm in paradise as I enjoy the feeling of being in the water. Arya joins me and we both enjoying the water. As she removes her clothes but only two small pieces covered her private parts. I'm captivated of her beauty and her body. I don't want her to think bad so I turned my back to her. If I wouldn't maybe I will keep on staring at her. She didn't think anything because she keeps on enjoying the water and we headed home.

Staying in their village makes me love the place. I love the people because they're so jolly and kind. But of course, I love Arya as we spend together all the time. Her parents are good people as well because they let me stay without asking anything. They're like my real family as well and I'm thinking to be part of this family for real.

I asked Arya to stay with me outside for a bit. Stargazing and feeling the peaceful feeling of the surrounding. We are talking about my life in the Capital and she is talking about hers as well. The mood becomes very comfortable to me. I keep staring at her as she is smiling watching in the sky.

"Ahmmm, Arya?" I said to her while coughing intently. She looks at me with a glimpse and replied, "Yes?"

My words are not going out because this will be the first time to confess a feeling to a woman. I have no idea how to deliver the words that are inside my heart. I scratching my head even though there's nothing itchy and keep on saying, "Ummmmm ummmm." She's looking at me glimpsing and I know she's waiting for me to say anything. It's heavy, my mouth won't open up to say something. It's like giving me stress to myself. "It's do or die." In my thoughts.

"Please love me, Arya," I told her while kneeling and bows my head towards her. Maybe it's awkward because she's laughing when I'm acting this way. So I just go back into my original position, scratching my head and say, "sorry." She still laughing and it made me think. "Was it really hilarious?"

She forces herself to stop laughing and said, "Sorry, sorry. I never thought you're an old-fashioned guy since you're from the capital." I wonder what she meant about that. I wonder what it means a new-fashioned style. I have no idea what she's talking about.

She suddenly kissed me with a smack in my and smile. "I already love you--," I didn't hear her finished because the army from the capital surprises me with their sudden appearance and said. "Captain!!"

"What are you doing here?" I asked them surprisingly.
"The king is looking for you to lead the army again. We've been searching for you when we couldn't find your body on the battlefield."

I love the king more than my life. It's hard to refuse when it's the king who summons me. I wanted to serve him but I'm thinking about this place how happy I am here. When I glimpse to Arya with a sad face I made up my mind.

"Sorry guys, I have a new life here. I'm tired of taking lives and I'm afraid now to die soon. I will have my own family in the future."

They look upset after what I've said to them. I know that it's a crime of refusing the king's summons. I continue explaining to them and beg them while kneeling and bow my head.

"Please tell the king that I'm dead already. Please I'm begging you."

I didn't expect what they answered to me.
"Please don't do that Captain. We love you as our Captain and promise that we will tell that king of what you just said."

"Thank you, guys."

Out reunion becomes emotional. We hug each other as a knight and then they left.

We then decided to live together as a couple the next morning. I asked the permission of her parents and they agreed. I am happy living in a small village, working as a farmer even though this is not my world. I will do my best to be a good husband and a father in the future. I don't care shat kind of life awaits as long as I'm with Arya. I'm sure of it that my life will be full of happiness.
