Chapter 10: The Only Way
Kaah.
Worn out, and with his hands on the ground, Abel began to spit up blood.
It was a strange sight.
But this was by no means unusual.
Just an everyday life for him.
It was a normal routine for Abel.
Lets stop it here. Any more of this and youll be
Once again let me
I see. I shouldve learned by now that you are not going to fall this easily.
Ugh.
Eruka swung her sword, knocking the light out of Abels blood-red eyes.
She sheared off his consciousness more easily than twisting a dolls hand.
His physical limits had long been exceeded and his magical power was completely depleted.
There was no way Abel would have been able to resist.
Huh seriously. Is this really the right thing to do? Ive been asking myself that question every day now. Jerah.
Yes, Eruka-sama.
Heal.
The moment the woman called Jerah chanted this, Abels body was enveloped in a green light, and his wounds healed as if his near-death experience had been a lie.
How many times is it today?
Well over 50.
What a reckless kid. Im sorry for making you troubled.
What are you saying? Im more than happy to repay even a small part of the favor I have received from the Eruka-sama with this power of mine.
Still as stubborn as ever, are you? I told you to become a priest, but in the end, you decided to become a knight.
Because I dont really agree with the temples idea that healing is only for those who can pay for it.
Huhu, youre a strange one Huh. Well, I cant speak for others either.Visjt for new updates
Eruka suddenly lowered her gaze and looked at Abel.
No physical talent.
He can use magic, but he has no talent for magic.
Even so, the boy pursues strength as if possessed by something.
Yet she cannot stop him because she knows the reason why.
If there was no such thing as a path I could have told him to just give up.
Abel cannot use attribute magic as a matter of course.
All he can use is one single non-attribute magic.
But that single magic connects Abels path to the heights.
Or should it be said that it has long been connected.
But it is so thin and desolate that it cannot even be called a path.
A path so far off the beaten path that a sane person would unknowingly remove it as an option.
Thank god really All the time I was worried about what if there was nothing. But nowall I have to do is keep going.
There is a path that leads to higher ground.
Eruka will never forget that maniacal smile on Abels face when he learned of this fact.
Whatever it is, there is certainly a way there.
For Abel, that was enough.
It was also the day that Eruka herself renewed her commitment.
Abel is already broken. If she doesnt guide him properly, he will break more.
Thats what she thought.
Eruka was troubled.
She kept thinking, worriedly.
So much so that when she realized it, it was already morning.
She wants Abel to be happy.
Eruka sincerely hoped so.
But she is still wondering whether she should stop him, tell him to give it up.
Strength is not everything.
There are a number of other options in the world.
She wanted to tell him over and over again.
However,
I couldnt tell him.
Whenever she looks into those eyes filled with madness and determination, the words she forms always go away before they could be released.
Eruka knew those eyes.
She knows.
Anything she says will go in wane.
Abel wont stop, he cannot be stopped.
Hence, Eruka also made up her mind.
With a determination to walk on that hellish path with him.
Whenever youre ready.
Im coming.
A moment later, Alfreds figure disappeared.
Whats that? Do you plan to violate me next? Using your well-honed swordsmanship, youre going to tear my clothes to shreds and humiliate me.
Enough. Go home already.
It was only yesterday that he had a mock battle with Alice.
But Luke already didnt like her.
Or itd be more correct to say that he doesnt want to go near her because she makes him feel uncomfortable.
It can be described as an aversion to what cannot be understood.
I think youd better listen to me first.
I dont think youre worth listening to. So just
We are now engaged.
Leave Ha?
He dropped the towel to wipe the sweat off his face.
Those were the words that Luke could not understand.
No, its not that he doesnt understand the language.
His brain refuses to comprehend what he just heard.
what did you just say?
I am not lying. My father told me about it this morning and I agreed. Wholeheartedly.
Wait a minute My head hurts.
Luke thinks at high speed.
He met Alice at a party two days ago.
So why is this happening?
Too early.
It is too soon.
The only person who couldve done this is
( It was you, father!!!)
He arrived at the answer instantly.
(Fathers skills have been put to a bad use! How could an engagement be finalized in just two days? If it had been just a marriage proposal, it would have been nothing! But why this girl of all people!? Waaahhyyyy!!)
Yes, it should have been at the matchmaking stage.
It didnt matter.
But if the engagement has gone through, it is a different story.
If you break off an engagement once it has been established, you will destroy the other partys reputation.
Of course, such a thing would not hurt the Gilberts.
Still, Luke cannot think himself for becoming a disgrace to his family.
Why, why did this happen
No way haah, haah how painful it is to know that youre not happy about it.
(Why are your cheeks all red?)
I feel like its my destiny to be with Luke, you who changed everything for me, but it appears its not the same for you, right?
Yeah.
Yes, but there are three advantages.
Speak
Alices breathing was heavy and the blush on her cheeks only increased.
Luke didnt understand it and looked at her with disdain because he was uncomfortable with it.
This made Alices breathing even more labored.
So the pattern was repeated.
First of all, the Lonsdale family has a very high aptitude for magic. I am almost certain that if you and I were to marry, we would produce excellent offspring.
Secondly, theres no match for my beauty.
Having a woman like me by your side gives you a higher status as a man. There is a status that a man can only achieve by having a beautiful woman by his side, right? Well, I guess its the same for women.
( What is she saying with a straight face? Were the same age, right? This is freaking me out seriously)
And last, if you marry me, you wont have to stress anymore.
Why?
Im confident that I can accommodate your every desire, no matter how hard it is, you see.
When Luke saw Alice writhing in agony, he lost his strength and sat down on the ground as if he had collapsed.
Why?
How did this happen?
Where did I go wrong?
Even with his brain, he could not find the answer to that question.
He was tired.
So he decided to turn away from reality.
(Amelia-san recommended Aslan Magic Academy, right? I heard its difficult and I have to work on a lot of things haha hahaha hahahaha)
Luke, are you okay?
Luke took no action to answer Alices question.
In his study, Claude was waiting impatiently for Luke to come running in, his stern face slightly smiling.
