[GL] I tamed the female lead

Chapter 23- Astéria's POV

"Hello, there Saber."

The woman in question appeared from behind the bush and smiled while waving energetically:

"Hey there! What took you so long? I thought you would never follow me.

-There were too many eyes. What were you doing behind the bush?

-Everyone knows that's the best hiding place.

-And why were you hiding? You knew it was me."

Saber shrugged:

"What fun would it be waiting without hiding?"

Astéria rolled her eyes:

"Come on. you could relax a bit. We finally met again; Let me take a look at you: what happened to your hair? Were you always blond? Your eyes always changed colors but your hair was always black.

-Brown.

-Dark brown. Why did you change it?

-Because."

Astéria didn't say anything more and waited for Saber to say what she had to. The latter took out a chocolate bar from her pocket and handed it to Astéria who rejected her offer. Saber shrugged and started eating with a comfortable smile.

"You made quite a lot of friends! I didn't think they would treat a wizard that well!"

Astéria laughed:

"She is the only one who treats me well. You should hear what the others call me.

-I'm sure they quickly regretted it. You can be quite terrifying when you put your mind at it."

Seeing Astéria all silent, Saber raised her eyebrows:

"What? You didn't pull their eyes out? What happened?

-How did you know I wanted to pull their eyes out?

-I've known you for a long time.

-How touching.

-You don't have to be so sarcastic about it."

Saber and Astéria both grew up on the streets which had the effect of bringing people together. They met when they were 12 and had been colleagues since then. They weren't living the same life but still met from time to time to catch up on the latest news or to share the small food they had. It was a weird meeting in such conditions. everything was just too nice for them to talk:

"I can't hurt them.

-That's getting interesting! What did I miss? You suddenly disappeared and I thought you were dead but here you are alive and well. You even became a sweet sheep. Who would have guessed? I still see that crazy flame in your eyes so why are you holding back? Is it because of her?"

Astéria just smiled. She finally found her. Everything was fine now. She didn't care if she had to set her revenge away. All she needed was her and she couldn't scare her with dead bodies.

"What about that girl from your dreams? You couldn't shut up about her and disappeared soon after. Did you forget her that easily? I am all for faithed romances and this is disappointing."

Astéria didn't say anything and smiled. It took Saber a second but she finally understood and immediately jumped up her mouth wide open:

"No!"

Astéria nodded slowly.

"No! It can't be!

-Yes.

-That really can't be! You finally made out? Finally! How was it? Are you together now?"
