Chapter 10. Preparations to leave the village
Miles had excused himself from the family dinner and taken Sheila to his room to have a talk with her away from his family.
"listen Sheila I have already told you I can't date you why are you forcing yourself" ,Miles said trying to break the awkward silence.
"No we can, listen it's not what you think although I was supposed to be dating Louis but he hasn't laid a finger on me I gave you my first kiss yesterday, you must take responsibility." Sheila stated.
" Wait what ,Sheila are you even listening to yourself you still haven't changed you're still the same self centered brat you use to be, me and you we can't work out when are you going to get that , and besides I'll be leaving this village soon so I don't want to get married" , Miles said.
" Why Miles ? Why can't I be with you ? Do you find me irritating ? Or am I ugly to you ", sheila said as she slowly came closer to Miles.
Tears could be seen dropping from Sheila's eyes but she tried to hide it by facing the door.
" I understand how you feel Miles but am not going to leave you for another woman you are mine and I will be the one you eventually marry ", Sheila said as she banged the door behind her.
Seeing the once happy Sheila now sobbing Elizabeth Miles mother tried to console her but was stopped by Gregin .
'Dammit I tried to break it down easily I hope she doesn't think about it to much.' Miles thought as he laid down on his bed.

"Well I guess I am strong enough to be an adventurer I think , well it's time I told everyone about my plan I just pray mom agrees".
......
During the families dinner Miles decided to tell his family about his plan , but he did not know how they will take the news , he had already told them before he became a hero and they immediately denied him but now he was strong so he was hoping for a positive answer.
"Mom , Dad I have an announcement to make" .
Miles cleared his throat to reveal his plans.
"I would like to go into the city to become an adventurer as soon as I possibly can ", Miles stated.
"I was wandering when you where going to bring up this matter again , for the past two weeks you have been taking one of my swords to go train right, ". Gregin asked.
"How do you know that" ,Miles asked.
"Am your father Miles you can't hide anything from me, besides who did you think was clearing up the boars you killed."
"I knew you had been training rigorously because anytime you come back the sword is always worn out I had to repair it every single time you used it ".
" I knew you where much stronger than before but I didn't know how strong you where".
" when I saw you fight in the contest I knew you were no longer the little weak fragile boy any more , you have started growing up".
" it's nice to see that in a short two weeks of rigorous training you are already so strong , I guess if you put your mind to it miracles would happen."
"You've always had a dream to be an adventurer and am not going to stop you from achieving your dreams , you have my full support" , Gregin stated.
" What are you talking about no son of mine is going to the city to fight dangerous beast", Miles mom shouted angrily.
" He is a grown man and he is capable of taken care of himself , Let him be Elizabeth" , Gregin said trying to convince his wife.
"No am not going to watch my son become an adventurer when i am still alive".
The argument went on for a while before Gregin finally convinced his wife but even still she had her doubts , it was decided that Miles will leave for the village in three days time, so Miles just went around living his boring life and turning down girls who where unfortunate to fall for him and asked him to be their boyfriend, until the day finally came.
....
Before Miles left the village he first went to met the village chief with his father to get his blessings
The village chief was in his house alone as usual when the both of them came in.
"Darkish how have you been doing ", Gregin asked has he gave the village chief a hug.
'I didn't know they where that close to hug each other,' Miles thought.
" Well I have been slowly rotting away , the village is peaceful now and there is no need for men like us to protect the village" , Darkish said.
" Well what brings you to my home you are usually to busy hunting to come here ", Darkish asked.
"it is my son he will be going to the city to become a hunter so I wanted him to receive your blessing's".
Darkish looked at Miles who was standing behind his father.
"Yes you raised a fine strong young man , i saw him in the contest and could not help but be amazed by his strength, he really is a genius of the sword , if he could have found his talent before the Baron came to our village he would have definitely become a Squire." , Darkish said.
"Very well he shall have my blessings as the village chief", Darkish said.
Miles was now kneeling down at the front of Darkish while he placed his hand on Miles's head .
"I wander how strong he his to be the village chief " , Miles thought
