Chapter 693 - 637: A Hand of Ice (1) (1/2)

The couple didn't linger there any longer than they should have. With the Headless Soldier temporarily frozen and the golden metropolis now in ruins, there was no reasons for the parasite or the white specter to stay, especially with the mythical being behind their backs.

More or less, Arthur got what he wanted and, after experiencing those vivid flashes of memories, he was sure that most of what Lucy said was true. It could be said that the negative feeling and distrust he harbored towards her had dramatically diminished but it didn't completely disappear.

”Are you alright?”

The moment the two left the golden city and appeared in the forest at the edge of the small word, Lucy checked Arthur from head to toe with an overly worried expression plastered on her face.

In response, Arthur tried shrugging her off but after two unsuccessful tries, he just stood there, a bit confused and slightly embarrassed now that he's aware that she's not faking her extreme affection.

”If… if all what you said is true then we're actually married.”

”Mhm! That's right!” Lucy affirmed with an enthusiastic nod and a bright smile which can entrance any man. Arthur faked a couple of coughs and turned around.

He changed into a cleaner outfit, a long azure robe with silver lines on it before speaking again,

”Let us go.”

”Where to?”

She peeked her head from the side, a smile still aimed at him.

”Take me to familiar places so I can recover all my memories.”

Unexpectedly, Lucy didn't immediately agree with him like usual. She gazed at the gloomy and darkening sky then explained,

”I'm afraid that's not possible at the moment. Before we ended up here, we were attacked by the System's spaceship and if we were to leave right now, it'll most likely locate us and we won't be able to defeat the sheer amount of fighting robots it can dispatch.”

”Then what do you propose?”

”We're not in a hurry so you can do whatever you want. I, as your loyal and loving slave, I'll follow you everywhere.”

She tried to link his arms with his but Arthur stepped away and threw a piercing glare at her before jumping in the air and flying East.

What happened over the course of the next two weeks couldn't be said to be interesting. Arthur and Lucy traveled from one place to another, discovering new places and occasionally fighting monsters which were basically killed with one skill.

Arthur no longer cared about possessing those monsters, which had pathetic stats and, instead, aimed to recreate past events in order to remember what he had forgotten.

In one fateful night, a memory clearer than all the rest flashed inside the parasite's head. He was quietly meditating while Lucy was sitting opposite of him and wearing only a s.e.xy red nightgown, obviously, trying to seduce him.

Ever since that night when she jumped on him, the two didn't do anything obscene as Arthur showed a great amount of restraint and didn't want to succ.u.mb to his carnal desires, nonetheless, Lucy attempts were completely futile either.
