Chapter 39- Something about Kyle~1
[Kyle's POV:]
Damn...that was some battle I had.
I underestimated the Demon by a wide margin. Since I defeated all its underlings easily, I charged in without thinking it through and paid the price.
Forty-eight bones, several ligaments, detached joints, and internal bleeding—I think that's a hefty price to pay for being ignorant and a little too confident.
I was currently lying in the pool of my blood while gazing at the night sky.
I didn't know how I survived this...but now...
"Please stay with me! I will take you to the healer!"
"Ah..." I suddenly noticed that someone had arrived by my side and was currently supporting my head on her lap.
It seems my senses have dulled down a lot.
Those tears clouding her emerald eyes, signified concern for me—a person she didn't even know.
That's a heroine for ya.
"...d-don't worry a-about me..." Talking was a burden in my current state as I tried assuring Charlotte.
"How can I not?! You...you are dying! And I can't do anything to save you...I just..." She was shouting at me even though I was like this. How rude. But well it was just like Charlotte. If she can't discern what to do she just becomes agitated.
The reason I told her to not worry was because I was feeling a tingly sensation in my belly—signifying that the Chains of Slavery were being nudged. Alatia was awake and knew about my condition.
"...C-Char...I w-won't die...j-just take care of y-your family....i-if it's in o-our destiny...t-then we will mee-agh!" Suddenly, I felt a wrenching pain in my belly before my vision shifted.
Now, the concern remains: How am I going to explain my situation to my lady?UppTodated from
Sigh.

Charlotte looked fanatically around the place to find where her savior disappeared to
"I know you won't forgive me this easily, but seeing you like this gives me far greater pain than what I was experiencing some moments ago."
There was no lie to it and I never intended to. Alatia matters to me a lot more than anyone in this world does. She has saved my life many times and has given me a reason to live. She not only went against her family members for me but also actively looked out for me whenever I was in danger.
I don't know whether she used her special eyes to see whether I was telling the truth or not, but her shoulders seemingly relaxed.
"Then why....why do you have to risk your life like this? What gain will all these bring to you? Can't you even tell me? Am I not trustable, Kyle?"
Her eyes...why...just why are you looking at me like that, Ala? I can't endure to see that sad and pained look in your eyes.
At that moment, I was very much motivated to tell her about my secret...about the fact that I am a Dark magic user and that I have the souls of two legendary warriors in my hold.
But...I can't. Not now.
"Alatia...listen to me. I know-"
"No! If you can't tell me-" My eyes widened as suddenly Alatia jumped to her feet and took my dagger from the table beside her. She pressed the blade against her wrist and threatened, "—if you can't tell me what's going on, then I will kill myself! I can no longer endure to see you in pain, Kyle!"
"Alatia, no!" Instinctively I summoned Beta in my left hand and after straightening my back I teleported the dagger away from her hold.
"Huh?!" Alatia, with her eyes, stretched, looked at her hand before she turned her attention toward me, who was holding the straw doll in one and the dagger in the other hand.
"K-Kyle...you can..."
I sighed. I knew this would happen one day...but still, this was a little too soon.
I sat on the edge of the bed, before gesturing her to come toward me.
Alatia responded to my call, and with a still shocked expression, she walked in my direction and only halted when she reached inches away from me.
I held her hands in mine and finally decided to reveal my secrets to her.
This surely was going to be a long night...
