Chapter 129: Anna’s Decision

Anna here…

These days, I became really unsettled.

After staying at Alex's hidden city for a month, I came to realization that Alex isn't someone ordinary.

moreover, he's a more respectable person than I thought.

Not only did he save the people from misfortune, but he also gave them a place and job to settle.

And that place, it's beyond my understanding.

The high rising building, the light that illuminates the city to keep bright even under the dark sky, the unusual public facilities that couldn't be found to any place in this world, as well as uncomprehensible magic tool that all his subordinate had.

All of those really blew my mind, broaden my narrow horizon further.

Especially, the library nearby the school.

In there, there're a lot of books that contained incredible knowledge that will turn this world's common sense upside down if it's leaked, written in an unknown language that only someone connected to him could read.

Along the time I stay in his city, I come to realization that Alex might be not someone from this world.

About this thing, it'll be better if I keep it by myself, like how all his women did.

I somehow feel like all his women had a glimpse of this fact, but they seem to keep it for themselves and not dwell on it further.

After all, it seems Alex himself didn't want to talk about it.

By the look of it, it seems it was only lady Chali who knew certain about this fact.

She seems to handle this sensitive matter skillfully and always keeps Alex's harem to stay off from this topic.

As expected of Alex's first woman, she really knows Alex really well and very reliable partner for him.

Leaving all of that aside, let's back to my situation right now.

This time, I and my sister, as well as some of the others, join in Alex's journey, heading to the Dungeon city Alabatrost.

During the journey, we stop and make a camp at night nearby the highway.

At first, Alex wanted to teleport us back to his hidden city, but lady Chali and Silvi stop him, saying that it's not good for the development of Silver Wolf.

They said the Silver Wolf need to be used to these inconveniences of camping outside, as part of their training to become a versatile force that could adapt in every situation.

So, today was the same.

After spending the night near the highway, we resume our journey once again before stopping and setting a camp when the day became darker.

All of this aside, let's talk about the unsettled feeling I state at the beginning, originally.

These days, I felt like being left out by the others little by little.

Maybe it's just my imagination, but I certain, that it was really the case.

First of all, I'm the only one in this group that didn't understand the strange language written in the books as well as the small device thing called a smartphone.

Second, I realize that the power that I always proud of, counted as average within this group…

Last but not least, even though I didn't want to admit it… it seems I have a feeling for Alex after staying near him all this time.. and this feeling made the feeling of being left out, stronger, when I saw he intimately had a conversation with his woman on the otherworldly stuff topic that I don't know.

While having this unsettled heart, I absentmindedly gazing at the campfire placed in the center of the camp, with my sister by my side.

[Anna, it seems you already decided it]

[Sister…]

With my sister suddenly saying this thing, I came back to my sense, turning my head toward her.

Yes, tonight, I will decide to confess it to Alex, about my decision…

I stood up and back to my tent to settle my feeling properly.

…

..

.

Midnight.

I leave my tent and saw Alex doing meditation in front of the campfire with closed eyes.

Since this is the second day we travel, I know that he will be doing the meditation at night.

Last time, I accidentally overheard that Lady Chali and Silvi refused to spend some 'hot' night with him.

It seems lady Chali and Silvi seriously taking this chance, to discipline the Silver Wolf member properly.

Ma, I quite understand why lady Chali and Silvi did this.

I'm sure if they take Alex's offer to make love inside the tent, the others surely will join them, and the outdoor camp activity whose original purpose was to train them changed into "outdoor" activity… in other meaning.

'Anyway, it's good since I can take this chance to get a private time with Alex'

With this thought, I approached him slowly before sat beside him silently.

[Anna, is it? Did you have something you want to talk about with me privately? It's quite unusual for you to slip out from your tent at midnight after all~]

Feeling my presence, Alex suddenly said while still having his eyes closed.

I wonder how he can recognize me without actually seeing my appearance.

This young man, how can he became so powerful at this young age and still humble?

Hmm.. this mysterious side of him is his charming side too…

'Tte, it's not the time to think about this thing!'

I came back to my sense and arranged my mind properly.

After a moment, I open my mouth and start speaking

[Sir Alex-no, Alex…]

I paused for a while to see his reaction.

It seems my sudden change of calling his name make him opened his eyes and look at me in wonder.

I continue.

[Alex… I already decide. I want to become yours, not as your underling, but… your woman…]

Hearing my sudden confession, Alex looked at me dumbfounded.

He opened and closed his mouth, speechless.

[What is it, so suddenly?]

It was what he asked after calmed his composure after a while.

Hearing his question, I just gaze at his eyes, earnestly.

This young man, even though I really didn't want to admit it, but as expected, he's the only one who I want to follow in my life.

Even though sometimes he is clumsy and stupid, but he is dependable at the needed time and situation.

Ma… even he failed to catch the mysterious man for lady Silvi last time, but I know it's not his fault.

There's a high chance that the mysterious man from before was a Devil Contractor.

Everyone in this world knows, how tricky these people are.

Even the God would be troubled to catch one, all alone the grandmaster level, Alex.

That's just how mysterious the Devil race is...

The sight of him embracing lady Silvi, and sincerely apologized to her for his weakness, is truly touched me.

In this world, I already saw a lot of strong people like him, a Grandmaster who treat their woman and ordinary people like a thing.

These disgusting people always drown in power and acted high and mighty in front of ordinary people.

If there's no Olimpia Church who always observing them, maybe these guys will act as they like, oppressing the common people with their power.

That's why the sight of that Alex who treats his woman dearly really touched me.

Not only that, the way he treated his own people with respect and hearing their voice is raised his point as a man higher in front of my eyes.

If I want to add some point, this man is realistic and not blinded with twisted justice like what most powerful people had in common.

He knows what is his priority, and always acted according to his heart.

I know, he sometimes denied his kindness by convincing me that it was all for his own benefit.

But I know, that's not all the case.

That side of him has really attracted me.

I know it's quite cruel to Gart, but a man like Gart who always naïve and adamant with his own belief of righteousness, is not on my taste, sorry…

After all, that's the reason I leave my house and became independent in the first place.

The seemingly look proper noble, usually act like him after all.

They always see the commoner as a people that need them to live, thus they believe all their rule and lead, was a mercy to the commoner to live their lives safely, sheltered them from the dangerous outside world that full of monster.

Thus, their self-importance and pretense behavior arise...

They didn't know, there's still a lot of people who suffer injustice inside their rule and need their help.

It seems I deviated from the main topic quite far…

While my mind started wandering wildly, I feel a warm hand suddenly touch my cheeks gently.

As I came back to my sense, I saw Alex looking at my face gently with his warm hand caressing my cheek.

[Are you really sure about your decision, Anna? Like you already know, I already have a lot of women around me… I'm sure you can find someone better than me out there with your beautiful appearance…]

[Alex, in this world, sharing a strong and dependable man with other woman is a common thing, that's why all the king have their own harem]

[I'm not a king though~]

[But you have the quality to be one if you want to]

[Please, leave me from that, I'm not wise and devoted enough to spend all my life to be the people servant and care all of their well-being~ 

You already know, right? all the job about managing my people, I always passed it to someone else, that's why I build the Management Office in the first place~]

[That side of yours that attracted me… you know your own limitation…]

I held his warm hand that still on my cheek and smiled as I said this to him.

As we gazing at each other eyes silently, I started closing my eyes…

After a moment, warm lips gently touched with mine.

He kissed me.

And I kissed him back deeply in return.

Our tongue slowly entwined, as the warmness and moistness from the kiss made my body became slightly hot.

But it didn't take too long before the kiss suddenly stopped, as Alex slowly removed his mouth from me, creating a bridge of sticky saliva between our tongue.

[Haa… ha.. let's stop here, or the others will start to reprimand me… we can continue in another time, okay?]

With a heavy breath, he whispered softly to my ear, tickling my neck as he doing it.

[Umm…]

I answered him with a flushed face.

Hearing my brief answer, Alex smile gently at me before moving his forehead to mine, gently touched it.

Siii~ *shining

With a dragon-like symbol suddenly appeared and lit up on my forehead, I can feel something slowly connecting our soul together…

By this time, my heart knows it.

I officially became his woman.

Thus, the decision that will change my fate forever, begin at this moment…
