Chapter 55: A silver mirror
Things quickly got awkward, as if Alex and Sara saw the system messages.
That was not the case, even though it genuinely looked like that. Still, Sara promptly distanced herself away from Alex.
He didn’t find it weird as that development was genuinely too sudden.
Regardless, from that day onward, Alex would look at Sara differently. He was well aware of it, though.
Just looking at Sara told Alex enough. He saw her as if she was younger. Of course, the way Sara embraced that awkwardness made her seem more youthful.
She avoided his gaze in a dullahan way. While she fiddled with her fingers, Sara’s head flew off her body, going around the kitchen in circles.
She panicked, “Ah, my body! I wanted to check on Celia… Yes, that’s how it is… Excuse me, Alex. I will be back soon.”
“Yes, I will finish my task here,” Alex smiled faintly.
After moving her body to her head, Sara attached herself back to it and then skipped her way toward her room.
Alex was alone in the kitchen.
He scratched his hair, “She was too cute…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSara with tears and the embarrassed dullahan momma. Both of them were cute.
Of course, the reason for Sara’s tears was painful. Nonetheless, with Alex’s help, those tears had melted her heart and killing intent that would lead Sara onto the wrong path…
Alex wouldn’t overlook the loss of dozen citizens, but focusing on it would be a mistake. He could only focus on what was ahead of him. He could only believe in his friends and wives from his legendary class.
And more people that would tread on his path together with him.
Therefore, Alex engraved Sara’s image into his heart. And before checking the system, he long since understood his feelings.
He had started developing an affection toward that lady, and he wasn’t even embarrassed by it.
Of course, Alex couldn’t stop things from turning awkward. He was inexperienced, and he frankly had never dealt with a heartbroken woman.
Nonetheless, as Celia was a little sun in the castle, Alex could only become the same. He would gather everyone together and pour happiness into his place. That was the path he took, and he genuinely hoped it would be enough.
[Sara Deathwill has developed an affection toward you.]
Alex opened his system, ‘So it is not one-sided. Despite her wounded heart, Sara opened herself to me too.’
In his case, Sara’s feelings had touched him. The way she thought about Celia’s safety and how far she had been willing to go for it… That was indescribable will.
As a lone woman, Sara could go around the world and surely find a place for herself. If things went south, she would be able to escape and find another one. She was a strong woman with Ultimate Skill.
Her two bloodlines hailed from royal and powerful families.
Celia was the same, but she was too young. Precisely for that reason, Sara couldn’t endanger her future. And living in constant fear was just too much for a little one.
Thus, it didn’t matter whether she wanted to for the wrong or good path. Just the fact that she was willing to try every fastest method for her daughter had touched Alex.
Because he believed he would be the same. For people he loved, Alex would do everything he could.
And he wholeheartedly believed that they also would be the same.
Sara showed exactly those feelings.
Alex hoped that his beloved would also turn him back to a good path should he be in a similar or worse situation, just as he did to Sara.
“I am back,” Sara called out after a few minutes.
She returned to her old self. No bashfulness appeared on her body as she took steady steps toward Alex.
She glanced toward him, then smiled, “Celia is sleeping soundlessly. She’s smiling too widely, though.”
“Haha. She must be dreaming of something good. Perhaps, she’s experiencing one of the scenes from her favorite books. How are you, though?” Alex chuckled toward the little one’s dream, then smiled widely at Sara as he asked the question.
Sara gave a reassuring smile, “I am fine. I know what to do next.”
Alex gave her a side-glance.
He deeply probed into her eyes. And though Sara stared back at him with a casual glance, she had turned her eyes to the side for a short time. Of course, that lasted just a few seconds.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlex noticed it, so he chuckled, “If you go out of control, I will catch your head.”
Sara’s heart skipped a beat. In her defense, she crossed her arms and exuded her momma vibes. That alone was not enough as she smiled too widely, her appearance too pleasing to Alex’s eyes.
She sneered broadly, “There’s something you don’t know about Dullahans, Alex. Dullahan’s headless body is faster and stronger. I also can protect my head with a few skills, and my floating speed is top-notch.”
She nodded to herself a few times, proud of her skills.
Alex laughed, “I appreciate that tidbit about the mysterious dullahan race, but what does it have to do with you losing control? I can tell what happened, but I might be mistaken. In fact, it would be better if you told me why you made a few circles around the kitchen before.”
“Side-effect of my surprise,” Sara said with a straight face.
Against such an expression, Alex could only raise his hands in defeat, “I get it. But my offer stands still.”
“Sure… You have my consent… Only if I lose control, that is,” Sara also lifted her hands in defeat.
But was that really defeat for both of them?
They smiled at themselves widely and enjoyed a little time with each other. Since Celia was no longer here, Alex could talk about his journey in more detail. And then, he took out the present he had bought in one of the cities.
It was a peculiar mirror endowed with a silver frame.
“Don’t move for a second,” Alex whispered. He then tapped the silver frame, “Now, you have a picture of yourself. And here’s the makeup stuff I bought. A reliable source told me that all girls would like it.”
“Thank you… I like this mirror already,” Sara curved her lips up.
She then took a picture with Alex, which was naturally stored in the mirror.
