(EDITED)

The group of yuriel rested at the shadow of a huge tree inside the forest.

The latter purposely teleport them at a place near the river that rio and him saw when heading to the village. He then ordered the necromancer to clean himself now as the latter took a new set of clothes for the guy.

The necromancer didn't say anything and followed his savior's words instead since he's the one who help him escape his death.

While the necromancer is busy cleaning himself in the river. Rio took some woods and lit them up to make a fire while Yuriel took some raw pork and chicken with abit of fruits.

Rio started to cook the food as yuriel put a mat on the grassy ground.

The necromancer finally finished cleaning himself and took the clothes that the latter is giving him before heading to a place to change as long as no one can see the various tattoo on his body as a sign of being a necromancer.

He is afraid that the latter might be disgust by the black lines of dark art on his skin as he tried his best to cover them with the clotheshe has on his hand.

After he finished changing, he heads to the two and saw many portion of freshly cooked foods and fruits that made his mouth watery. It's already been two days since he has eaten proper foods cause the villagers always feed him rotten foods and stuffs.

He gulped and the two saw how the hunger affected the guy so they smiled at him and asked him to eat with them.

The necromancer was hesitant but still sat down on the ground. Yuriel shoved the plate of chicken on his side and he slowly put his hand on one of the chicken thigh before munching it.

His eyes lit up after tasting the delicious meal as he continued to munch it happily.

The two was satisfied that the guy is eating and also does the same. They can't possibly go on a journey with an empty stomach especially with their new hungry companion.

While eating their own fill, Yuriel started speaking.

"What's your name?"He asked the guy which halted his action and took a glance at the latter.

"Marco.... Marco Riggen is my name." He answered honestly and the latter smiled at that.

The novel didn't say any definition of the necromancer's looks nor background story but now that he saw him in person, he quite expected him to be handsome knowing that he's in a world of fiction. He has long straight brown hair, pair of hazel eyes, almost tan skin, abit masculine, and his features are no joke at all.

'Should i expect more for the main leads?' He thought as he tried to imagine how they will look like in person.

"Nice to meet you marco, I'm Yuriel Azure while this guy here is Rio Xandros." The latter smiled at the guy and marco also do the same.

"If it's okay to ask. Why are you being tortured by the villagers?" Rio asked which made the latter and marco choked.

'This guy.... Is so insensitive!' Yuriel glared at the man as if he's the most stupid human to ever exist. The latter didn't ask him that kind of question since the necromancer seems to not want to talk about it. He just cried inwardly, hoping the idiot didn't offend him at all.

"U-uhm.. That's...." Marco nervously spoken as he can't seem to find a suitable word to use for his answer but yulier quickly tried to lessen the awkwardness the guy is feeling.

"It's okay!. You don't have to answer! This guy's mouth doesn't have any stop switch so he's this stupid in terms of using words." He tried to reason with the necromancer and the person he's talking about can't help but to glanced at him with a 'What are you talking about' expression.

The latter didn't mind the glance he was currently giving him. Among all the things he notice in Rio is that he is not a good talker towards stranger. That's the reason why he doesn't talk to him at first when he saved his family and just talked when he started to feel relax around him.

The necromancer saw everything the two are doing and was convinced that the guy named rio is really not a good user of words when he's with a strangee since he is also the same.

He's just talking to them because they're the ones who saved him from the madman villagers.

Yuriel was getting nervous as seconds passed as the black haired guy is still not talking and he was about to comfort him again when the guy suddenly opened his mouth.

"That's because i'm.... a necromancer. "He said with a hesitant voice and yuriel was about to act that he was somehow shock by the revelation when he heard a voice that crumbled him to bits.

"We know. The chief at the village told so." Rio smiled as if he did a good job speaking those words. He then felt a very cold stare and when he looked at the owner of it. He saw the crumbled face of the latter like he's not believing what he just heard from him.

The two stared at the same time but both their opinions are different.

'Did i do something amazing or bad?'

'OH MY GOD! This guy is so dense!! Is he really the second male lead?!'

One is thinking if he had done a good job while one is thinking about his life that just became a joke.

Seeing the latter and the duke's son. Marco couldn't stop himself from smiling at how opposite the two was but still managed to be with each other's company but he stopped when he remembered what the darkblue haired guy just said and questioned them.

The latter started to panic inside when he suddenly thought about a secret for many necromancers. In the novel, he read that they have tattoos of words on their body that served as their token of being one. If they don't have any of those arts on their skin, they can't fully call themselves as necromancers.

By using that information. He tried his luck.

"It's because of the symbolic tattoos that only necromancers have since i read it in a book. I saw some of it when we're still at the village. Sorry for not telling you." He spoke in a calm tone as he apologetically smile at the guy.

Marco looked at the both of them. He is now having an internal fight with himself if he should still trust the two. Half of his mind tells him to trust him since they helped him and even feed him with food while the other is doubting them.

The latter saw the doubt look in the eyes of the necromancer. He somehow panicked and tried to explain to the man that he is not a bad person nor the childish duke's son.

"Don't worry! We are not planning to hurt you or what. We can seperate our ways after we finish our meal." He reassured the necromancer and the doubt in his eyes fades by a little.

Rio saw how the latter tried to not make the situation even more awkward and decided to join the conversation.

"We can actually leave right now. We're all finish eating afterall. And besides marco, Yuriel doesn't have any ill intentions on any of your kind since he knew what necromancers really are in the inside." Rio spoke his mind and smiled at the latter.

Yuriel was glad that the man decided to talk and when he glanced at Marco, he saw how his eyes widens while looking at him.

"... Really?...."

Yuriel, ".....um.... yeah?..."

All the doubt in his eyes vanished completely as he sighed in relief. He then bow his head as an apology for his manners.

Yuriel didn't mind it at all and was just happy that everything ends well.
