"Please explain to me first why you want me to be an elite member of the Mage Guild? I'm just a Beginner Mage." Lawrend asked the guild master seriously. He didn't think that he would get it for free. "You are similar to Grand Mage Bask Light. He also had a greater mana purity than he should have. If you didn't know, a Grand Mage is above the Arch Mage. Meaning, he was someone that could hold the roof of a kingdom." The guild master explained to Lawrend. He was expecting that Lawrend would also…-

"How about this? There's still another test, right? Why don't I take that too so I can prove to you that I'm really not a True Mage yet." Lawrend bargained with the receptionist. "Tch. Alright, but if you were really a True Mage, your Mage Guild membership will be revoked." The receptionist truly thought that Lawrend was actually a True Mage. He thought that by putting the membership on the line, he would back down. After all, there are many benefits to being a member of the Mage Guild. No mage on…

"Alright, Thank you." Lawrend bid his farewell before leaving with Aleshia. "Let's go to the Mage Guild next." Lawrend told Aleshia before he rode inside the carriage that was waiting for them outside. They soon arrived in front of an ancient-looking building. There was a placard of a simple magic circle above its door. Some parts of the building were covered in moss. It was obvious that this building has stood here for a long time. Unlike the lanterns used all over the city, which was fueled…

"Y-Yes." Aleshia nodded her head shyly. For some reason, she thought that he was gonna 'do' it already. "Let's rest for a bit before we go out later." Lawrend told her before he laid on the bed. He was also enjoying the softness of this bed after sleeping on that carriage seat for a long period of time. "Yes, Young Master." Aleshia nodded her head before she lay on her side, facing away from him. She was still confused about what just happened. She looked at the wall of the room in a…

Aleshia didn't even change out of her maid clothes and just plopped herself onto the bed. "So soft…" Aleshia murmured with her eyes closed. Lying on a soft bed feels really good after sleeping on that hard carriage seat for so many days. Lawrend sat on his side of the bed while Allen was in his arms. He put him down on the bed and glanced at Aleshia. Somehow, he wants to open his mouth right now and tell her what has been bothering him since earlier. "Aleshia." Lawrend called out to her.…

"You don't seem to be sick." Aleshia pondered in thought. The temperature she felt from Lawrend's forehead was not enough for him to be considered sick. "That's because I'm not." Lawrend replied with his face burning red. He moved away from her as the closer she was, the more his heart beat quicker. "I see. That's a relief then." Aleshia sighed in relief. She became worried for a second over nothing. Time passed quietly as they waited for their turn. Aleshia would drive the carriage…

It didn't take long before Lawrend and Aleshia arrived at the small wooden house that they rented. It was similar to the first one; not that spacious and very rural. "Mister, can you get someone to repair our carriage?" Aleshia asked the man who guided them here. He was the same one they paid earlier. "Sure. I'll have them come a few minutes later." The man nodded his head before sprinting to call someone to repair the carriage. "Young Master, Allen sure is getting bigger." Aleshia…

"Are you curious?" Aleshia asked Lawrend inquisitively. "Yes. Please tell me truthfully." Lawrend bowed his head to her. He was desperate to know if it was only him that didn't feel anything. "Hmmmm… Where should I start? Ah! When I first killed someone, I was so scared. I didn't want to do it again, but my circumstances didn't allow me to. In the end, I killed my second one. When I killed my second one, although it was suffocating, it wasn't as bad as my first one. It was a pattern that went…

When the bandit leader saw Aleshia swing her dagger, he immediately raised his short sword in front of his face to defend against her attack. Contrary to his expectation, it was a feint! Aleshia twisted her arm and brought her attack to his abdomen. The bandit leader quickly moved his short sword to block her attack. And once again, to his disbelief, it was another feint! "Hggh!" The bandit leader grunted as he struggled to keep himself from breathing. Aleshia was clearly toying with him. He…

Lawrend looked behind them in silence. He was thinking about how his life had turned out. At first, he thought that this would be an exciting journey with Aleshia, but it quickly turned for the worse when she made him sign a blood contract. Lawrend sighed at how naive he was. At last, finally, Aleshia trusted him and removed the blood contract that inhibited their trust in each other. "I wonder what that other me meant…" Lawrend looked up into the sky and remembered what just happened last…
