'I will absorb this beast core after returning ho.'
He stared at the beast core in his right hand.
"Why are you looking at that beast core? Do you want to absorb it now?" Lexie asked curiously.
Lexie and Ace were currently sitting by the waterfall.
After having morning sex, they headed to the waterfall to have breakfast there.
Like yesterday, they consud grilled fish because it was the simplest and easiest food to get in the forest.
"No. I just thought this beast core is slightly bigger than the normal beast core." After saying that, he stored the beast core in his space ring.
"I see." She responded. "Ace, let's go back now."
He rose to his feet and spread his arms. "Co here, Lady Lexie. Let's return by flying."
"It seems like you want to take advantage of again." Even though she said sothing like this, she did not refuse his idea.
"Bla yourself for being a beauty." he wanted to get to the Nightshire City quickly, so he suggested they fly ho.
Lexie's face blossod into a smile after he carried her.
'I let him take advantage of twice, and now, he always wants to take advantage of .'
But even so, her heart throbbed with happiness when she was being carried by him in a princess style.
"Let's go back now." he flew into the sky after saying that.

Nightshire City, Entrance Gate.
"Today's weather is good!"
"That's right. I think today will be a good day for ."
"Don't you always complain every day? What makes you think today will be a good day for you?"
"Because my little heart said it to ."
"My little heart?"
"Haha."
"Haha."
"He said my little heart?! Haha."
"So cute! Haha."
"Bastards, stop laughing at !"
"Haha."
"Haha."
Like usual, fifteen city guards joked as they guarded the entrance.
They chatted and joked because it could make the atmosphere lively. They would feel bored if they guarded the entrance all day without saying a single word.
Of course, they did not chat and joke all ti because they knew when they could chat and joke or when they had to be serious.
"Hmm? Who is it?" a red-haired guard saw soone flying toward them.
Captain Noah imdiately rose to his feet.
His intention was clear.
He wanted to stop that person!
It was forbidden to enter their city by flying, so he had to stop that person no matter what.
"It's Ace and Madam Lexie." Captain Noah stated.
"Ace and Madam Lexie?" the city guards said in surprise.
After Ace landed in front of them, he uttered, "Thank you for the hard work, everyone."
"Ace, why are you with Madam Lexie?" Captain Noah asked curiously.
After Ace put her down, Lexie spoke, "He helped get the purple lotus in the forest."
"Why do you need his help, madam Lexie? Aren't you strong?" the blue-haired guard inquired.
"The purple lotus was guarded by the Yin-Yang puma." She gave an honest answer. "Its power is close to a 4-star magical beast, so I need his help because I can't defeat it alone."
"I see." They finally understood everything.
"Alright, guys. We will leave now." Ace and Lexie left as they waved their hands.
After arriving at her house, she uttered, "I will prepare the docunt later."
"Alright." He responded.
"Be careful on the road, Ace." Lexie said as she smiled.
Ace waved his right hand before finally turning around and leaving.
To his surprise, he saw Valeria on his way ho.
'Valeria?'
He walked toward her with a smile on his face.
When he was behind her, he covered her eyes and inquired, "Guess who I am?"
"Ace, you are here?" Valeria knew he was Ace from his voice.
Ace removed his hands from her eyes and stood before her. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm on my way ho from buying so potions." she suddenly rembered that she needed his help. "Ace, can you help with sothing?"
"Sure." Even before he knew her request, he agreed without thinking twice. "What is it?"
"I want to tell city mistress about our relationship, but I don't know how to explain it to her." She told him she had made so explanations last night, but she felt the results were not good.
That was why she needed his help because she could not make a good explanation alone.
After hearing her words, he grabbed her right hand and dragged her to Scarlett's house. "Then let's et her now."
"What?! et city mistress now?" she said in surprise. "Ace, I don't think this is a good idea."
She was not ready to et Scarlett because she still did not know how to explain everything to her.
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine." Ace knew Scarlett would accept their relationship imdiately.
"Ace, we should prepare a good explanation first. eting her without preparation is not a good idea." She tried to change his mind, but he kept saying everything would be fine.I think you should take a look at
'I hope city mistress won't hate later.'

Scarlett's House, Terrace.
Scarlett was currently sitting on a wooden chair.
Her red hair danced softly as she sipped her tea elegantly.
Even though she was alone on the terrace, a soft smile could be seen on her pretty face because the weather was good and the sky was blue, so her heart throbbed with happiness when she relaxed on the terrace alone.
'It's a pity that Ace is not with now.'
She believed everything would be better if Ace were by her side.
'Ace?'
Her face broke into a smile when she saw Ace.
'Lieutenant Valeria? Why is he with her? Does she have sothing to say to ? Is this related to her job?'
Countless questions appeared in her mind.
When Valeria saw Scarlett, her heart beat fast.
The closer she was to Scarlett, the faster her heart beat.
She even could hear her heartbeat because, at that ti, her heart beat fast, loud, and uncontrollably.
'I hope everything will be fine.'
She tried her best to keep calm.
When they were in front of her, Scarlett rose to her feet and smiled, "Ace, you have returned?"
"Yes. I went straight ho after sending lady Lexie ho." He responded.
Scarlett shifted her gaze from Ace to Valeria. "Lieutenant Valeria, what brings you to my place? Do you have sothing to say to ?"
"City mistress, I…" Valeria could not finish her words because she did not know what to say.
She wanted to use the words she had put together last night, but these words were stuck in her throat because she was afraid that these words would hurt Scarlett's feelings.
'What should I say now?'
She stared at Ace, hoping he would help her.
"Scarlett, Valeria is also my girlfriend." Ace went straight to the point. "We beca a couple when we were teleported to Arnlisle forest. We did not tell you imdiately because she said she needed ti to prepare herself."
Valeria widened her eyes in shock.
'Ace, why did you go straight to the point like that?'
She slowly shifted her gaze from Ace to Scarlett.
'What should I do if city mistress gets angry later?'
She did not say anything and just waited for Scarlett's response.
To her surprise, Scarlett smiled at her. "Really?"
"Yes." Ace was not surprised by her response because he knew sothing like this would happen.
Scarlett imdiately held Valeria's hands and smiled, "Then we are no longer superiors and subordinates. We are sisters now."
Valeria was stunned.
This was different from what she previously thought.
Of course, she was happy.
She just did not expect Scarlett to accept their relationship easily and quickly like that.
'Does that an everything I did last night was unnecessary?'
She tried her best to co up with a good explanation so that Scarlett would not be sad and accept their relationship.
She even did it for more than an hour.
She just did not expect what she did last night was unnecessary.
If she had known Scarlett would accept it easily like that, she would have told Scarlett about their relationship right after they returned to Nightshire City.
She would not try to make a good explanation or prepare herself because it was unnecessary.
'Ace is right. I was overthinking.'
She was glad she listened to Ace earlier.
"City mistress, thank you for accepting our relationship." Valeria did not forget to thank Scarlett for accepting her relationship with Ace.
"Don't call city mistress anymore. Call sister from today onwards." They were Ace's won, so Scarlett did not want Valeria to keep calling her city mistress.
"Valeria, try calling her sister." Ace uttered.
Valeria looked at Ace before returning her attention to Scarlett.
She did not call Scarlett sister imdiately.
She only looked at Scarlett without saying a single word.
She had gotten used to calling Scarlett city mistress, so suddenly calling her sister made the words get stuck in her throat.
Of course, she did not hate it.
She just was not used to it yet.
"Valeria, try it." Ace also wanted to hear Valeria call Scarlett sister.
"Valeria, call sister." Scarlett said as she smiled.
She did not address Valeria as Lieutenant Valeria because they were Ace's won now.
Valeria looked at Ace and Scarlett.
"Si…sister Scarlett." Valeria could not say it smoothly because it was her first ti calling Scarlett sister.
Ace and Scarlett smiled happily.
"Rember to keep addressing as sister from now on." Scarlett uttered.
"I will rember it." Valeria responded.
"Then let's go to the family room and chat there," Ace uttered.
"Good idea!" Scarlett uttered.
