:: Take it slow; she is fearing you even more. ::
'I see,' Kyle finally halted just five ters away from the woman who was nothing but a black skeleton.
He could clearly sense how alluring the stakes were, considering that he would not only gain soone with strong potential but also soone with a qualification of 97, which would expand his already extended domain from 16 ters in radius to an additional 7 ters, making it a total of 23 ters if he married this entity.
Of course, he definitely did not want to do it, but it was an easily attainable gift, just a few hands away, and it would give him a significant boost.
Not only that, but his mind consoled him by suggesting that if he could marry an arrogant reaper, then he could probably marry this skeleton as well if it ant gaining a power boost.
Forget ego or pride; 'Yes, the trees that do not bend in storms get uprooted first!'
He consoled himself to set aside his ego.
[But you are human, Host, and aren't the humans who bend down get fucke—]
'Shhh, don't disturb my focus,' Kyle instantly interrupted the useless system, which was clearly trying to make things difficult by uttering its usual nonsense.
Ignoring it, he slowly stretched his hand toward the skeleton, which was trembling in a contracted position with its hands strapped around its bony knees.
It clearly gave the vibe of soone fearful, yet he still took the initiative to slowly stretch out his finger toward it.
"Hey, Miss Skull..." Kyle tried to be as polite as possible with a clear, smooth gesture as he wanted to touch her or at least get her hand out of that sullen state.
"Yes, you need not worry, I am here," he reassured as he noticed a slight tremble in the black bony finger, as it seed she took the initiative to let her hand slowly free from the fold. As he prepared to stretch toward her, her fingers trembled, and the hesitation in her action began to fade, replaced by a slight trust.
"Yes, very easy, now you just have to say yes when I ask, will you marry—" Kyle seed to flow in the mont of emotion and was about to utter the proposal to the woman before suddenly his hand halted, his expression still as his eyes slowly side-glanced, noticing two silhouettes standing beside him.
It was a mont of realization as his eyes side-glanced in both directions before slowly turning his head to the right, where he noticed the looking down eyes of Aleriana.
Given his knelt position with her standing, her sapphire eyes seed narrowed and in a way as if looking down on him, clearly as if seeing through him.
He felt like gulping before giving a smile and turning in the other direction, where he saw Olea standing while looking at him with a different kind of expression—it was a judgntal look.
Her eyes seed to be judging him, his overall existence from top to bottom, declaring him as trash.
Gulp
There was a mild sound of swallowing as Kyle's eyes slowly hovered near both won's waists.
He saw Olea's hands resting on the hilt of her dual blades, while Aleriana had already materialized her sword from the dinsional ring, as if prepared to cut him down the mont he said anything further.
Though in truth, it was just his conscience hitting him.
For both Olea and Aleriana, they had different thoughts.
'What if that thing harms him?' Olea had her gaze narrowed, intensely fixed on Kyle, as if trying to warn him to be cautious against that skeleton thing.
Even though the princess showed sympathy for it, including her, she felt that the young woman was just trying to survive but she was cautious enough to be determined to make a move if that thing tried to harm him.
'Should I have not saved it?' Aleriana also had a narrowed gaze clearly scrutinizing the situation, feeling how she may have been at fault.
She thought of protecting the young woman, given the desperate cries for help, the guilt to leave made her reconsider.
Now, she was on her guard, clearly taking out her sword in preparation to attack the thing the mont it tried to harm her husband.
'N-no, my wives can't harm , right?' Kyle seed to reassure himself before turning towards the skeleton.
He felt that just in case he were to be wrong and proposed it here, who knew if these two won—let's forget about killing him—what if they hard Miss Skull here?
Wouldn't he most likely lose a future reaper and present 7 ters of domain?
"Y-yes? Will you hurry, Miss Skull?" Kyle just dodged the bullet as he thought maybe this was not a good ti to appear as a complete playboy proposing to everyone for marriage, randomly, as it would just diminish the value of his words.
He prompted himself to put aside the marriage proposal for now as he slowly let her bony finger rest on his palm.
"Khrrr....Khrkhkk...."
'What is she saying?' Kyle seed to hear that random voice again, clearly not understanding it from that gesture as she slowly moved towards him.
As the moonlight filtered on her body, he saw the black matte bones and the black aura emitting through the crystal within her open ribs—a sight that would make any sane man tremble with fear.
:: At least she is smart. ::
Kyle seated himself well, giving side glances to the small lizard perched on his shoulder, as he visibly saw her chuckling slowly. With her hands folded, she flew towards the skeleton who, upon noticing, instead of placing her hand on Kyle's palm, slowly diverted towards Valeriana.
'Huh? What?' Kyle felt confused as he saw Valeriana taking her seat on the cranium of the skeleton, her legs and hands folded, clearly looking at him with a condescending gaze, prompting him to blink as he noticed her grin.
"Miss Skull...?" His words halted before completion as he realized that from the start, this skeleton woman was more attracted to Valeriana than to him.
Prompting his gaze to lower, he exhaled as he stood, supporting himself on his knees while glancing at the wide expanse of broken remains of the exorcism sect, which had been completely destroyed.
"You both really wreaked havoc here, didn't you?" Reading in books and witnessing it firsthand, the destruction of the area, which was said to expand over a mile, was a sight to behold.
Everything was crushed and turned to dust.
As he observed the scene, he noticed dead bodies lying around, clearly scattered, with blood staining the soil beneath.
He glanced towards Aleriana, who seed to avert her gaze while scratching her chin.
"This was our only chance to strike back at Prince Orion and let him suffer a big blow," Aleriana said, referring to the prince whose support from the exorcism sect had taken a significant blow due to her and Olea.
This would likely have a major impact, considering the exorcism sect was one of his biggest supporters.
'!?'
'What!?' Kyle's expression emptied as he turned to look into her eyes, trying to process her words before realizing that the exorcism sect was indeed one of the major supporters of Prince Orion—the one he wanted to least confront right now.
'Shit, why this soon?!'
