–Splash!
A Chira slumped and I glanced sideways to slash at the one that was leaping at .
Black blood splattered everywhere and at this point, I was drenched in blood mixed with sweat.
"Kkiieekkk!!"
Two Chiras were seen jumping from both sides and one rushed at below. I pierced the one below and shot my wind bullet at the left side.
That was two…
However, shock and panic filled my mind after I realized that I couldn't draw my sword; it was stuck in its heart.
As I didn't have enough ti to pull it, I shot a wind bullet in a panic state and the outco was… it missed the target.
My eyes widened when a ferocious hand was inches away from .
'Ah, I made a mistake…'
–Boom!
I was astonished when a fireball struck the beast before it could reach , sending it away. I glanced back and Leticia was seen there, extending her hand.
"I'm sorry, I can't leave Your Highness alone."
I couldn't help but furrow my brows.
'She's an Elentalist?'
Well, that explained why I couldn't catch her back then, and how reluctant she was to take the dagger.
"Kkiieeekk!!"
Nevertheless, I returned my sight to the front and drew my sword to swing my sword once more.
But this ti, Leticia supported from the rear, and within half an hour, we exterminated the Chiras in this area.
"Haa… haa…"
As I catching my breath, I swept my eyes to the surroundings and the sea of corpses could be seen lying below.
Ignoring them, I turned and approached Leticia.
It would be best if we could keep moving because I didn't know when the Chira would co here.
"Let's go."
I offered my hand, but the mont her fingers touched mine, she was startled and imdiately hid her hands behind her back.
"I'm fine. Let's go."
She stepped forward but I blocked her way and stabbed my sword to the floor.
"Give your hands."
She shook her head.
"Give your hands."
Yet, she remained persistent. I couldn't help but sigh tiredly; I didn't have ti for this, and so I spoke.
"I won't marry you if you don't show your hands."
"Will you marry if I show my hands?"
I tried to snatch her forearm but she stepped backward.
I massaged my temples, this was getting annoying. Also, why was this girl obsessed with marrying ?
"I will give you the answer after you show your hands."
She brought her trembling hands to , I flipped them to see her palms and what greeted made my eyes widen.
Burn wounds filled her palms.
I gazed at her but she threw her face sideways to avert my eyes.
"Who is your Elentalist tutor?"
She shook her head.
"I don't have one."
Well, that explained why she lacked 'control' of her Elental and turned her spell into a double-edged blade.
However, my forehead creased, and didn't that an Leticia opened her Mana Pool and ford a Mana Core by herself?
'This girl is kinda crazy in my eyes.'
I channeled my Mana to my Elental Water and let it bound her hands. Luckily, I learned a basic aid with my Water Elental.
"Where did you learn about Elentalist?"
"I learned through books."
Just like I predicted. But, the fact that her parents had no idea about it, it seed she often ran away from ho and trained behind their backs.
"If you want to learn about Elental, ask your father for a tutor. Don't do self-taught. It's dangerous, you might explode."
She tilted her head.
"But I never read that soone explodes due to self-taught."
Of course, it was a white lie. I was just trying to prevent you from doing sothing dangerous.
"So, do you believe the book or ?"
"I believe in Your Highness."
"Good."
As expected, her amount of trust in was just ridiculous.
"Also, stop sneaking alone. I hate it, so unladylike."
"B–but…"
She sighed and eventually answered.
"I understand."
I couldn't help but smile at her innocence, she was so pure that I, myself, was afraid that I might taint her.
After a few minutes, her burn wounds were healed; leaving no trace at all.
I let go of her hands and her eyes twinkled with amazent upon seeing her hands but she imdiately lowered her head.
"Thank you and… I'm sorry… I'm… useless."
I patted her head.
"It's not true, you did a great job in my opinion."
Well, it was the truth. Her support was always on ti although she burned herself.
She lifted her head and stared at .
"Then… does that an Your Highness will marry ?"
Tsk. I clucked my tongue inwardly.
And why were we going back to this topic?
"How old are you?"
Although I knew the answer, I was just going to beat around the bush.
"I'm five years old."
"At your coming-of-age ceremony, I will attend it, and if you say that you still love , then I will marry you."
"That's a promise, right?"
"Yes. I promise you, here."
I offered her my pinky finger. Her smile blood and bound our fingers.
"I only have to wait for thirteen years, right?"
"Yes."
Wasn't she way too optimistic?
I didn't even know if her heart would remain the sa or had changed. But at least, it would make her realize her true feelings.
Not just so random puppy love.
"Well–"
A voice echoed throughout the space; a male voice. I quickly took my sword and hid Leticia behind my back.
"–this is the first ti I've ever seen a couple having a date in the sewers."
–Splash –Splash –Splash
His steps ca closer and my wisp of fire revealed his figure, it began from his lower body to his upper body and a black-haired boy with golden eyes appeared behind the shadow.
My brows furrowed.
"Alex?"
The boy let out an annoying grin.
"So, did you miss ?"
Instead of longing, I want to punch him in the face.
