Chapter 1028 An Unexpected Confession

Chapter 1028 An Unexpected Confession

-----

The party continued for a while and over time I got more talkative, I just wasn't in the mood. But after a few more conversations, I was able to get a lot of rewards and prizes out of this old man, mostly a lot of money and resources I quickly decided to teleport back to my village using the Shadow Teleportation Points I left outside.

Everything was doing fine and peacefully back there. My strong Undead and Brunhild were protecting the entire area really well, and the alliance with the Dwarven Nation has become quite good. Some dwarves started moving inside of my village a "pioneer" and had started working below the tutelage of the blacksmith twins.

Aside from that, the rumors of the Demon King's son appearing also spread into the nearby areas, some of the descendants of Majin that survived and have been mostly hiding or living in the dwarven country had begun migrating to my village too. Nothing too much, but there's at least 50 more people now. Root easily made more houses for everyone, while his body continued growing larger and larger at the center of the city, protecting everything with a barrier of spiritual energy, further combined with the other barrier in the walls.

My Undead also wandered the surroundings constantly, hunting down any threats. They had already cooperated with the dwarves on slaying three more bandit groups around the snow lands, which were slowly melting and becoming cold grasslands instead. There were also more explorations into far away dungeons with my Undead, proving good results as they continued grinding EXP for themselves, and more resources for the village.

And about my Dungeons? Well, they're continuously generating more resources as well, and I am constantly filling my pockets with money, which I then invest into improving my village and making everything even more comfortable, by mostly buying a lot of construction materials from the dwarves.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

As the day was getting late and night was slowly arriving, the people of the party started to move back home. Although our friends looked that they would stay for the rest of the night. Lucifer and Jonathan had also become more talkative with one another. Somehow these two were becoming bros pretty quickly, despite Lucifer's asocial tendencies.

"Zzzz..."

"Muh..."

And well, my two beauties, unexpectedly, ended falling asleep. It wasn't because of the liquor or anything in the food either. They seemed to have a lot of accumulated exhaustion and stress, so they ended quickly falling asleep. It made me pity them a bit, I should let them rest while they can, to be honest.

She had gained a lot of confidence and became a much stronger woman... And that only made her hotter.

"A-Ah, well..." She started fidgeting as she slowly walked to my side. "M-My whole life has given a sudden turn since I met you, Lady Maria. My son... Wouldn't be alive right now if it wasn't for your help. And I would remain as a miserable woman, perhaps even weaker than before, or maybe already dead too."

As she spoke, she got closer and closer to me, to the point I could feel her breath in front of me. She looked up to my eyes, with her beautiful emerald-colored eyes.

"If it wasn't for your help, I wouldn't be what I became now. Someone strong, respected, that can now protect her child..." She said. "I never knew I had this strength, you helped me blossom it. You and your endless generosity, your beautiful heart, and your wonderful honesty." She was looking for me very intensively.

"N-Nia... Well, I did it because I am quite the goody-two-shoes sometimes." I sighed. "Can't be helped, right? I have the strength, so of course I won't leave a person dying when I see them asking me for help. Maybe some selfish fools that think they know better would say that doing such a thing is stupid, but I don't care. I've always just done whatever I want."

"A-And that's why you're so wonderful..." She sighed, looking down. "Lady Maria, I... Back then, I never thought I would ever fall in love with someone else before. Even less with a woman, I never thought I liked them to begin with, until I met you. A-And well... This is hard to explain. P-Perhaps I shouldn't? I know it might be awkward for you-"

"So you're saying you love me, huh?" I walked forwards, quickly embracing her in a hug, our faces very close to one another. Damn, she smelled so sweet. "Do you know that I am a monster, right? I am not human, I am a creature, a monster that eats gods." I slowly moved my hands towards her hips, grasping them tightly.

"Ah~" She gave a small moan, looking at me while blushing and breathing heavily. "I-I know what you are, yet to me, you're... someone so beautiful and grand, I can't help but, well, like you."

"Is that so?" I licked my lips. "I have an idea then~"
