Chapter 177: She doesn’t want his present

Alex and Stella teleported to Alex’s Tree House in the forest fairies’ capital.

Although Alex rarely spent time here, his house always looked clean. No one would find even a speck of dust in his house! Of course, the same went for other forest fairies as they lived closely with nature.

After inhaling fresh air and drawing out the beautiful scenery of the green forest, the couple headed to meet Remia.

Alex’s plan was to give her a treasure from his quest log. He also wanted to bond with the forest fairies, so Alex planned to go around the capital with Stella by his side, meeting the old fairies and forming new friendships with others.

Every fairy was kind-hearted, their joy in life stemming from their bloodline. Of course, Alex also believed that no one could have a gloomy heart or lifestyle in such a bright forest.

“Pedro wouldn’t like it here,” Alex chuckled.

Stella nodded, knowing a little about her beloved’s friend.

And thus, Alex had a simple plan that would take a whole day at most. After his time with fairies, he would check the Undead Quest’s update, practice with Nobum Skeleton, then move forward to hunt the hungry demons in his continent.

“I would like to meet Remia,” Alex looked at the fairy, whose level was eighty.

The man faintly smiled, nodding to his words. He casually asked Alex about his time in the Avander World before informing Remia about her friend’s arrival.

Alex liked the friendliness he received from forest fairies. He naturally engaged in the conversation with the guard, having quite a good time. Still hugging his arm, Stella just listened to them.

Alex asked about the villain, “It’s been a while since I heard about him… Is he still plotting something?”

The guard shook his head, “He’s been absent for now… We will be ready for anything he has prepared, though.”

“I know,” Alex nodded, believing in the forest fairies.

After that, Remia came out from the tree. She wore a white dress which revealed her shoulders. She brightly welcomed Alex and Stella, immediately taking them to her private space where no one dared to eavesdrop.

The guard waved at them with a big smile, secretly wishing good luck to his princess.

After the doors closed, Remia’s presence turned more casual, “I haven’t been in the Deathwill Castle for some time now.

I’m sorry… And how is Little Celia doing?” Remia asked with slight guilt.

She had quite an important role in the Deathwill Castle. But she was worried more about Celia and the fact that she hadn’t spent with her a whole day for a while. Knowing how everyone was forced to leave her alone in the giant castle, Remia’s heart hurt just from thinking about the little dullahan and her wolf friend.

Alex instantly waved his hand, “We are all busy people. As long as you think about her, Celia will feel and appreciate it. But after we deal with some hungry demons, I hope to hold a party with everyone.

You have my invitation, Remia,” Alex chuckled.

Remia nodded with a broad smile, “I will surely attend it! I must think of a nice present for Celia, then…”

“I have a present for you, though,” Alex uttered casually, confusing his fairy friend.

After all, what was the occasion? Her birthday wasn’t even close, and nothing significant had happened in a while. Even the bastard villain was absent, the forest fairies’ people returning to normal.

No, it was pretty different now that they had opened more to players. Some demi-human races weren’t fond of that decision. However, the forest fairies weren’t the only race who made unique class quests for players.

So those racist demi-humans could only swallow their indignation.

Remia tilted her head, “Has something happened?” She blushed as Remia thought that perhaps Alex had come to reciprocate her feelings.

People often realized how much they loved someone after that person disappeared from their lives for a while. Although Remia was always close to him, Alex had his dungeon run, and he also spent more time with Stella and others.

And because of the winged girl, Remia’s blush slowly faded. She was aware of Alex’s personality, so Remia knew he wouldn’t have come with Stella if he were to suddenly confess.

Alex felt his heart growing sour after seeing Remia’s reaction. He wasn’t dense to not notice her feelings. Her reactions were also so obvious…

Even worse, Stella was by his side. She could read emotions through her innate skill, her golden eyes scrutinizing him and the fairy princess.

He took out his reward from the quest, “Because of my class, I’m aware of Elias Deathwill’s empty promises and what he had done to his subjects.”

“Yes, I know about it,” Remia nodded before going ‘Ah…’. Her lips parted, and she asked, “Have you received a reward for helping me?”

“Yes, and I want to give it to you…. Think of it as a present for me… Let’s not talk about that guy anymore, okay?” Alex took out the present, pushing it into Remia’s hands.

She found his reaction odd as if Elias Deathwill suddenly appeared on Alex’s killing list. She didn’t miss his disgust toward him… And that disgust stemmed from something serious, much deeper than just him hurting her.

Remia didn’t open the present, “I don’t want it. His powers have turned you into a legendary player, so this reward must be highly beneficial for your strength.

I want you to use it and move forward faster… Players are growing faster than you, Alex… And it’s not your fault… But if they get too many levels, you can only rely on your stats and unique powers from legendary class.

That’s why, open it for yourself,” Remia extended her hands, giving back a present.

Alex chuckled, “It’s rude to give back presents, Remia.”

“I’m serious, Alex,” Remia lifted her eyes, looking into Alex’s hues with the gravity of their situation.

In her eyes, Alex saw unconcealable emotion.

And that was her desire to not slow him down.

Every girl would utterly detest herself for stopping their sweethearts from reaching their dreams and full potential.

In the Avander World, strength and potential were of the utmost importance.

Remia was serious.

She didn’t want that present.
