Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first? Chapter 763: 135: Why Do You Have to Leave Too?

Chapter 763: Chapter 135: Why Do You Have to Leave Too?

If you were to ask Aske if he liked Thira, his answer would indeed be affirmative.

After all, n are visual creatures, and he wasn’t the type to claim, “I have face blindness and can’t tell if soone looks good or not.” If you were to rank team mbers purely by facial aesthetics, The second place might be up for debate, but Theodora would be firmly in first place.

Such a girl, who practically embodied his aesthetic ideals, admitting that she had a bit of a crush on him naturally gave Aske a sense of arrogant vanity… Ah, no, that’s not the problem, the problem is that he couldn’t afford to be in a relationship right now!

The specific reasons were cliché and hardly worth ntioning. In any case, having reassured Thira with his words, he finally managed to convince her not to rush back to retake her country for the ti being.

Leaving the manor, Aske planned to inspect the girls’ progress in leveling up, aiming to help everyone cross the Demigod threshold as soon as possible.

Yet, as he approached the manor’s gate, he encountered dea, with the Enchanting Demon Miss showing an unusual mix of conflict and confusion on her face, which puzzled Aske as well.

“What’s wrong?” Aske asked with concern.

“Co with .” dea grabbed his wrist, and he imdiately felt a titillating, enchanting sensation radiating from the point of skin contact straight to his head, almost making him think dea was using her Extraordinary Skill on him.

Dragged into a small grove by dea, just as Aske was about to ask a question, he heard dea speak with difficulty,

“Aske, Marquina insists that I return to beco the Enchanting Demon Queen, what should I do?”

Aske almost burst out laughing. Why is it that Eleanor wants to leave, Thira wants to leave, and now you too?

I really shouldn’t have involved these Demigods!!

At this mont, Aske finally realized that these connections could indeed be a double-edged sword.

Because the girls are outstanding, their respective Demigods are willing to back them.

And precisely because they are outstanding, as the Acid Erosion Dragon Hedwig said, “You can’t stay a rcenary forever.”

In fact, it’s not the rcenary status that truly mattered to the girls… but never mind that, it’s sothing Aske couldn’t provide, no wonder they all wanted to leave.

“Er, what do you think?” Aske asked.

“I wanted to ask what you think.” dea gazed at him tenderly.

“Of course, I hope you stay.” Having learned from the precedent set by Thira, Aske would not make the sa mistake again and imdiately made his stance clear.

“Then, why?” The Enchanting Demon Miss’s fingers twirled unconsciously around her burgundy hair, looping it around her fingertips several tis.

“Because the team needs you, dea,” Aske said earnestly, “I need you.”

“Hmm.” dea nodded slightly, touched. However, she wasn’t going to be fooled like Thira and simply smiled,

“Continue, I love hearing this.”

You’re really cheeky! Aske intended to keep the complints coming, but her brazen remark nearly stopped him in his tracks.

“Well, I think you don’t need to be in a hurry to go back and beco the Enchanting Demon Queen,” Aske persuaded her, “After all, you haven’t reached the Demigod Rank yet, and taking that position would still be dangerous for you.”

Demigod, huh? dea had to admit that Aske did have a point.

However, she was already Lv. 15 and was about to reach Lv. 16; if she calculated carefully, even if she were to enter the Demigod Rank, she could probably reach it by the end of the year, and becoming the Enchanting Demon Queen then would be much easier.

On the other hand, if she rushed to leave the team now, she wouldn’t be able to benefit from Miel’s Acceleration Plan Support. It would be like having been attending lectures (with the teacher being a future version of herself) and suddenly having to start self-studying one day; a definite decline in efficiency was inevitable.

dea, thinking this, decided to stall Marquina’s request… But seeing Aske as if he were facing a formidable enemy, it seed he was really worried I might leave.

“What, can’t bear to part with ?”

The Enchanting Demon Miss quickly thought it through, then feigned a sigh as she spoke:

“I don’t want to either. But Marquina said she has a way to help rise quickly in Rank, allowing to reach Demigod by the end of this year.”

“Our Acceleration Plan works too!” Aske hurriedly said.

“The Acceleration Plan has to be kept secret, we can’t let her find out,” dea said, her eyes darting sidelong, and added, “Besides, she also said…”

“What did she say?”

“She said that I’ve been following you for several years now, without na, without status, and I’m going to be a laughingstock among the other Enchanting Demons.” dea covered her face, pretending to be distraught.

Pfft!!! Aske really couldn’t help but burst out. Since when does a damn Enchanting Demon care about status?!

Seeing Aske’s strange expression, dea continued with an upset look:

“Look, most of the other Enchanting Demons are married, and they have more than ten lovers outside of their marriages. It’s just who has followed you for so long without even establishing an intimate relationship. They all laugh at , saying I have no charm. Marquina thinks that if this continues, it will be bad for my reputation, so she hopes that I can leave the team as soon as possible.”

“Cough cough, well…” Aske was at a loss for words. It turned out Enchanting Demons also cared about reputation, but it was the opposite of normal moral views—the more lovers they had, the better their reputation.

A case like dea’s, hopelessly in love with him but without results for a long ti, was, of course, laughed at by the other Enchanting Demons for lacking charm.

However, Aske himself was troubled. Under normal circumstances, seeing dea with her sultry good looks and perfect figure, coupled with the fact that any contact with other n besides him would result in an explosion (aning she would definitely never cheat), he might have just settled for her due to her fervent pursuit.

But now, he really couldn’t do it!

Therefore, even though Aske knew that just by saying “Okay, let’s be together,” he could make dea wholeheartedly stay… he still couldn’t bring himself to deceive her against his conscience.

“I’m sorry.” That was all he could say in the end.

dea looked at him in shock.

“So you still insist on leaving, right?” After a mont, her voice cooled down.

“Yeah.” Aske nodded, “I promise, I’ll try to co back… if I can.”

“And if you can’t?” Her voice trembled slightly, seemingly tinged with a bit of anger.

“I can’t be sure of that…”

“So you want to wait for you?” dea suddenly interrupted him, “Like Nora?”

“Actually…”

“You know I can’t be with any other man.” dea took a deep breath, closed her eyes, “I understand what you an, let’s leave it at that.”

She turned and walked away, not looking back, her wine-red hair tracing through the air, seemingly leaving behind a hint of fragrance.

Aske watched her back in surprise, yet the image of her turning her head flashed through his mind.

Did she… cry?

The forever smiling, actually cunning Enchanting Demon Miss had shed tears?
