Chapter 93: I really like you
"Yes, I have asked already. There should be a leveling ground for level fifteen monsters not too far away from the capital. Do you think we can go here?" Alex asked with worry as he knew that the villain, Dollar, had been causing many problems to the forest fairies.
Hearing such a tone, Remia faintly smiled, "Our defenses have been raised significantly. We have a lot of people on patrol and even beyond our capital.
Did you forget too? I also have bodyguards," Remia whispered with a sigh.
She didn't like other fairies following her. However, Remia was thankful for others protecting her after the last incident.
They also valued her privacy, so no one should've heard Alex's words.
Alex nodded, "It wouldn't be bad if they heard us. Your mother would learn about my connection with the Deathwill, and I would be able to build a deeper relationship with your race."
"Is it okay to tell it to me in such a frank way?" Remia asked with big eyes.
Alex chuckled, "Yes. Because I genuinely want to become friends with forest fairies. Their princess and I have already protected each other's backs too."
"Hehe. That's true," Remia grinned.
They both left the capital's walls, then headed toward the leveling ground recommended for level fifteen players and residents.
Of course, Alex and Remia would dominate such a land.
However, the same couldn't be said about Alex's battle spirit, Bo.
Alex summoned him after he and Remia were far away from the capital. To his appearance, Remia didn't flinch! Her instincts and battle experience helped her adapt to such sudden summonings and variables.
Alex faintly smiled, "His name is Bo. He is my battle spirit. I want him to level up in the level fifteen leveling ground. And while he fights, we can have a talk."
Remia nodded, then extended her hand, "Nice to meet you, Bo."
To her touch and amiable emotions, Bo closed his eyes. He let out a faint bark, then highly enjoyed Remia's stroking. She ran her hand through his head, scratched his ears, then went across his torso.
Remia giggled, "Good boy. You are also strong."
Woof!
Bo let out a proud woof!
Alex laughed, "I've been forcing him to fight a lot. Before that, he had been playing around too much with Sara's daughter and her wolf. I'm sure he is missing those days now."
Bo let out a weaker cry.
Remia couldn't help but burst out laughing, "There's nothing free in this world, Bo! For a lot of pats, you have to work two times harder!"
She then gave him the last head pat before sending Bo to fight small but ferocious foxes in the leveling fifteen ground.
Bo's epic skill swept through the forest a few seconds later.
At the same time, Alex and Remia took seats on a small hill.
"Remia. If I told you that I could bring you to a different world, would you believe me?" Alex asked.
Remia thought for a little, then nodded, "I would."
"Why?" Alex asked.
In the Avander World, players were adventuring on different continents. It was fair to say that those continents were like servers. Players from all over the world couldn't choose their continent; they were dropped to lands based on their time zone.
Some continents had demi-human kingdoms. Some continents had insect people, and some even had a mix of those two. There was even a continent where players could regularly fight against undead monsters.
All those continents shared similar concepts.
No teleports were one of them. Players could only move on their feet or use transport such as carriages.
Therefore, Alex's words, if real, were game-breaking. In the forest fairies' eyes, Alex's statement would break nature's balance.
Yet, Remia believed him, "Didn't you tell me about the Deathwill Castle? Elias has taken it away somewhere. If you are associated with him, then you can easily find his location. If no one from our continent has found him and his castle, then they must be in a different world or dimension.
And you can quickly leave our capital, so it's not weird that you can teleport people," Remia concluded.
Alex laughed, "That's right. He's my father-in-law, and I have taken over his castle. His daughters became my wives in name, but our relationship has significantly developed. Because of that, I am confident I can invite you and my girlfriend to Deathwill Castle.
Here, we will level up more…" Alex slowed down at the end.
He then became mute as Remia stared into his eyes with a peculiar expression. It was as if nothing transpired on her face, yet Alex felt like her staring had so much meaning behind it.
Remia whispered, "Wives and girlfriend."
She then retracted her eyes and started ahead of herself. Remia also hugged her legs, looking like a young maiden in love who was contemplating her foolish crush.
And Alex had been indeed stupid.
How could he mention Deathwill Sisters and Olivia so casually while knowing about Remia's affection toward him? Her feelings were genuine, and Alex had proof of it as she could see through the cat's disguise.
"Is it because I threatened to kill you if you betrayed me?" Remia asked.
Alex awkwardly laughed, "I am ready to face the killing intent of everyone who I betray in the future. I don't think I can betray my beloved, though… Well, I don't have a harem yet…"
"Really?" Remia glanced into his eyes, hugging her knees tighter.
Alex nodded.
"So weird," Remia whispered.
Alex collected his thoughts, then sat closer to Remia. Their bodies touched each other, then he took her hand, firmly grasping it.
He looked ahead, gazing into the forest and his wolf fighting against the little foxes.
"I've been hiding some stuff from everyone. In fact, I thought you would be more shocked," Alex chuckled.
Remia shrugged, "You can guess what weighs more on my heart, Alex…"
"Yes, I can… But I am also not sure of my own feelings. Sometimes, the system helps me. It's actually helpful since I've been in contact with girls much older than me. I am actually flabbergasted that I managed to deal with you all despite my inexperience," Alex grinned.
Remia elbowed him, "I am not that older!"
"Haha! A golden rule; never ask for the lady's age, right?" Alex chuckled, then continued, "I don't know whether I am too careful. Maybe I am actually hurting others by thinking too much about our circumstances. I think if Stella and I were to do some close exercise, she would get a huge boost of motivation to move around…"
Remia squinted her eyes, "What close exercise?" She sounded pretty dead, but a grin spread on her face.
Alex looked around, whistling. He didn't dare to go further with his joke.
He then said, "I am sure of a few things, though. Because you are one of my friends, I want to tell you about my class. I want you to work with me, too. For our future, be it the same as it is, or different. We will see.
I know I can no longer hide it from my girlfriend," Alex said.
And at last, he added, "Everyone associated with the Deathwill Castle is on the hungry demon's lists. We will soon start hunting them all. That's my responsibility as the Master of Deathwill Castle and the husband of the Deathwill Sisters."
Remia listened to his words with a faint smile on her face.
In the past, Elias Deathwill showered her with empty promises. In comparison, Alex was honest. He sat down with her, held her hand tightly, and honestly stated his feelings.
And even though he had hidden some stuff, he never made empty promises.
Right now, as Remia stared into the spanning forest, her heart drummed loudly. Her cheeks warmed, and her grip on Alex's hand became tighter.
She felt sweet emotions from Elias Deathwill's empty promises in the past.
But that was, in the end, an empty feeling.
Only now did Remia realize how sweet one's feelings could get. She languorously turned her eyes at Alex, then said in a faint, slow voice, "I really like you, Alex."
"I'm honored," Alex replied.
Remia closed her eyes, then rested her head on his shoulder.
Alex wrapped his arm around her in response, hugging the lady's body.
They spent some time in a silence where two hearts thumped loudly.
