Chapter 57: The Power Of An Arch Mage And A Noble Demon (1/2)
”Why am I the one running? I want to fight that Noble Demon…”
Reagen murmured to himself. Just seeing the power that Aezel was displaying made his blood boil. Ever since he became a Hill Sword, he hadn't had that much of a chance to use 100% of his power, and this could have been one of those rare chances.
Lawrend and Aleshia's backs were against each other as they looked around carefully at the demons surrounding them.
”Kid, let's go.”
Reagen dropped down from the air and grabbed Lawrend by the arm. He then flew into the air.
”W-Wait! Aleshia!”
Lawrend panicked when he realized that he will be the only one taken away. He won't just give up on Aleshia that easily.
”Hm? Is that maid special to you? Don't bother. There are more maids out there in the world.”
Reagen noticed Lawrend panicking when he took him from Aleshia. Thus, he immediately realized what was going on.
”She's my lover!”
Lawrend shouted to Reagen with anger on his face. The words he said to Aleshia back at the inn were not just made-up flowery words. It was true, and it came from the inside his heart.
”...What?”
Reagen was taken aback, and he almost fell down to the ground. He just heard this young man call his maid his 'lover'. What has the world come to?
Sure, there are young masters out there with affairs with their maids, but he never heard someone boldly call their maid their lover.
”Whatever!”
Reagen gave up thinking as he could feel the power in the surroundings slowly accumulate to the point that the spells were about to execute. He went back down and swooped up Aleshia. He held them both by their arms as he flew away.
”Thank you, Young Master.”
Aleshia's eyes were flickering with love as she looked at Lawrend. She now thought that it wasn't that bad being Lawrend's lover. In her opinion, just the fact that he was not willing to leave her behind when their relationship was still young was a good sign.
”It'd be hard for me to live without a maid as a Young Master.”
Although Lawrend's words were not entirely true as he can technically live on his own with the memories he got, his intentions were still apparent. He was not going to abandon Aleshia no matter what.
”Hehe. True.”
Aleshia chuckled softly at Lawrend's words. She understood his intentions. The feeling of being treasured was really something she needs to get used to.
Meanwhile, Reagen had a displeased face as he flew them into the city. He felt like a third-wheel as they created their lovey-dovey atmosphere.
Back to the port, Aezel noticed Reagen flying away with Lawrend in his arms. She sighed, knowing that it would be hard for her to catch Lawrend.
'A Grand Mage?'
Aezel suddenly looked towards the northwest. She could feel a powerful being quickly traveling towards them.
'Tch. I might as well kill this scum in front of me.'
Aezel's eyes glowed a bright red. Since she was already using her ultimate move, she might as well kill this Arch Mage in front of her.
