Dark Evolution Begins with Marrying an SSS-CLASS Blind Monster Chapter 154: Midnight Flight

Rufus flew through the dark night sky, the chilly breeze flowing past him.

The thin transparent, ice-like wings behind him were flapping, a chilly breeze accompanying them.

As he flew higher, the light of the moon fell on him, illuminating his pale face, and the blue, thin ice-like wings behind him.

With every flap of his wings, waves of air were released, creating a low whistling sound.

And with the moonlight reflecting off his pale skin, he looked like an angel.

An angel with worn and torn clothes.

But that didn’t matter to him.

All he wanted was to save the princess.

And that was his priority now.

And as he flew faster and faster, the distance between him and the princess decreased, his heart beating faster, his determination growing.

The closer he got, the stronger the princess’ aura was.

And he could tell that it was her.

’Princess, I’m coming.’

And after a short while, his eyes caught a glimpse of a silver haired girl with crimson streaks in her hair, she was walking toward the Scarlet Rose Inn.

’There she is.’

Rufus thought and then, he noticed a boy with green hair walking beside the Elven Princess.

It was Ren who had gone to save Princess Alisa.

He was in shadow and then suddenly he stepped out of the shadows.

’Huh? Ren?’

Rufus was confused.

’What is he doing here?’

Rufus narrowed his eyes, a serious expression on his face.

’Don’t tell he went to save the princess.’

A smile appeared on his face.

’Ren is becoming more and more dependable. He is becoming a fine knight. I’m so proud of him.’

And as Rufus was thinking, his brother Ren was also thinking about sothing.

’What should I do?’

’I wanna talk to the princess, but I’m so nervous. What should I do? I wanna ask her about her hobbies, and likes and dislikes, and the things she is passionate about.’

Ren’s cheeks were flushed, a bashful expression on his face.

’I want to get to know her better, but I’m afraid of rejection.’

He looked at the princess, his gaze filled with longing.

’She’s so pretty and perfect, I’m sure she has tons of suitors, and she’s probably not interested in soone like . I an, she doesn’t even know clearly. I’m nothing special.’

Ren’s expression was downcast, his tone filled with dejection.

’But, even if she rejects , it won’t change the fact that I love her, and will continue to love her till the end of my life. My heart will always be hers. I will always love her.’

’And even if she doesn’t return my feelings, I will always stay by her side and protect her with my life. I will always be there for her, no matter what. I will never abandon her, no matter what happens.’

Ren’s gaze was determined, his eyes filled with conviction.

’But...’

’Where have you gone, Sis? Why don’t you help a little?’ He asked because he could no longer see the white light figure following him.

There was no answer.

’Hello?’

’Sis, are you there?’

’Sis!’

But, there was no answer.

’I guess she want to give it a try myself.’

He shrugged and smiled, then he looked at the princess again.

’How should I start?’

’Hmmm...’

Ren was thinking hard, his eyebrows furrowed.

But a single glance at the princess was enough to lt his brain, and all his thoughts vanished.

’Man, she’s so gorgeous. So perfect.’

Ren had a dreamy expression, a happy smile on his lips.

Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind.

’I know, I’ll just ask her a simple question.’

’Okay, let’s do it. Her—.’

"Hey, Ren. Did you say sothing?"

Alisa’s voice startled him, causing him to jump slightly.

She turned toward him, her expression curious.

"It seems like you want to ask sothing," she said, her tone polite.

Ren gulped, his eyes widening.

’Oh my God, the princess is asking sothing. What should I do?’

’My heart is racing so fast.’

Ren was panicking.

"Uh, N-No. Nothing, Your Highness," he stamred, his cheeks flushed with embarrassnt.

"Really?" Alisa asked, her voice filled with disbelief.

Ren nodded, his cheeks still red.

"Okay, then."

Alisa turned her head and looked forward.

Just then, Rufus descended to the ground, ’Finally, I have reached here.’

As soon as his feet touched the ground, his wings disappeared, "Princess,"

He bowed his head, his right hand on his chest, his left hand on his back.

"Rufus?" Princess looked at him, his torn clothes, his worn and dirty face.

"Why are you like this? Are you okay?" She asked, her voice filled with concern.

"I am fine, Your Highness," Rufus replied, a small smile on his lips.

"Forgive , Princess. I wasn’t able to foresee the danger and let you get kidnapped. This is all my fault. Please forgive , Your Highness."

Rufus apologized, bowing his head again, his tone sincere.

"It’s okay, it isn’t your fault, Rufus," Alisa replied, her voice gentle.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I am really sorry, Your Highness. Forgive , Your Highness," Rufus said.

"No, it’s fine, Rufus. Don’t apologize," Alisa replied, her tone understanding.

"Then, will you teach another spell, Your Highness?" Rufus asked, his voice filled with excitent.

"Heh?" Alisa looked at him, surprised.

"Another spell?" Ren, who was standing beside her, asked, confused.

"Yes, another spell, Your Highness," Rufus answered, a wide grin on his face.

’So that is what he was really after.’

Alisa thought.

’Looks like he doesn’t want to learn new spells, but rather he wants to get stronger.’

’Well, I can understand. Everyone wants to beco stronger.’

’And if Rufus becos stronger, then it will benefit too. So I should give him a new spell.’

"Okay, but first I need you to find a person for ," Alisa said, her tone determined.

"What person, Your Highness?" Rufus asked, confused.

"Here, give your hand," Alisa said, offering her palm to Rufus.

"Huh? My hand, Your Highness?" Rufus looked at her, puzzled.

"Yes, Rufus. Give your hand," Alisa repeated.

Rufus hesitated, but then, he gave his hand to her.

Alisa took his hand, and closed her eyes, and focused on the aura of the person she wanted to find - her master.

She felt her mind expand, her senses sharpening, and her awareness growing.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Rufus asked, his voice laced with confusion.

But she didn’t answer.

She concentrated on the person’s aura, her senses probing the area.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Ren, Rufus younger brother asked, concerned.

Again, she didn’t reply.

And then...

’What is this? This strong mana...’

’What the hell is this?’

Rufus thought as he felt a powerful mana emanating from Alisa’s hand.

’So strong, so powerful. But it is also so dark and sinister.’

Rufus’s eyes widened, his mind racing.

’Is this the man she is looking for?’

’But why would she look for such a strong person?’

’This is not the aura of a normal human. Who the hell is this guy?’

’This man is strong, extrely strong.’

’I can feel the dark energy flowing within this mana. It’s almost like he is a demon or a monster.’

’What the heck is he doing here? What does he want with the princess?’

Rufus was confused and concerned.

But princess voice made him co back to the reality.

"Have you gotten the gist of it? You have to find the guy with the sa mana," Alisa told him, opening her eyes.

’So she really wants to find that man, huh? Who has a dark mana?’

"Yes, Your Highness. I have gotten the gist of it," Rufus replied, a smile on his face.

"Good. Then, please, go and find him," Alisa said.

"Okay, Your Highness. I will find him." After saying that Rufus stayed still without moving an inch.

"Why aren’t you going, Rufus?" Alisa asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Pardon? You want to go now, Your Highness?" Rufus asked, confused.

"Of course, why are you still standing here?"

"Uh, it’s just... I thought you might want to accompany you, Your Highness."

"No, just go and find him. Don’t think about anything else," Alisa ordered.

"Okay, Your Highness. I will find him," Rufus said, his voice filled with determination.

’Damn, now that I have sensed his mana, I don’t want to search this guy. But I have no choice it is the Princess’ order.’

With that thought, Rufus looked at Ren and smiled.

"Take care of the princess." He moved his lips without saying those words out loud.

And then he took so steps back.

"Ice Magic: Cold Wings."

Suddenly, a chilly breeze surrounded him, and his ice wings appeared behind him.

"And rember, don’t try to do anything funny to him."

Princess Alisa was looking at him, her face stern. "Otherwise, you won’t even know when you died."

Rufus looked at her and gave her a slight nod.

After that, he flapped his wings and started levitating.

He started flying, his ice-like wings flapping.

As he flew higher, a question ca to his mind.

’Why would the princess look for a man with such a sinister mana? And why would she warn not to do anything funny to him? Is he dangerous?’

’Who is this man?’

’A powerful mage?’

’A monster?’

’A demon?’

’Or a devil?’
