Chapter 43: Goodbye Alice

The next day, after the king's party. Desmond woke up as usual and went straight to Alice's room. There was something that surprised him. He saw Alice was meditating seriously; it seemed that she didn't sleep last night because she was still wearing the clothes she wore at the party. Desmond waited a couple of hours before finally, Alice opened her eyes.

"Hey sis, how are you?"

Alice slowly opened her eyes and then looked at Desmond, who was beside her. " How long have you been here?" Turned to the window, Alice saw the sun had shone until it was overhead. "Ah!" Immediately she rushed out of her room.

Hmm?

Confused, Desmond also came out of Alice's room and headed straight to the courtyard to carried out his usual activities.

In the courtyard, after Desmond arrived, he didn't start training as usual.

How much longer have left?

I see.

Desmond then narrowed his eyes while looked at Elizabeth's trait effect.

My eyes were not wrong yesterday; this trait is very annoying.

It must be possible, the same traits with lower grades also have an anti-evil effect.

Luckily, the healing spell does not always include an anti-evil trait.

-A few days before the King's Party -

In the courtyard, Desmond was training as usual. Just as Desmond was about to continue his training, Alice suddenly called out to him.

"Brother!"

He saw Alice came in neat clothes. " Aren't you shopping today, sis? " Desmond quipped her with a smile.

Seeing Desmond's behavior, Alice felt annoyed. She was angry and wanted to punish him, but then she remembered something more important. " Listen, I want to tell you a few things that mom said before she went to duty. "

Hearing his mother's name, Desmond frowned; his expression then turned serious. "Do not worry; I'm listening now." He turned right and left and looked back at Alice. " Before that, follow me, sis. I also want to tell you something important. "

Without waiting for Alice's answer, Desmond took her hand and immediately activated the Custom Spell.

.

.

.

Desmond had carried Alice while ran on the road invisibly. Because his energy had reached the minimum requirement to become a wizard, he could activate the custom spell even for 1 hour.

Passed the bakery, the buildings and finally arrived at the border between the inner city and the outer city; Desmond spoke, "Thank you for keeping quiet all this time. I will explain all of this after we arrive in Outer City.

"Wait a little longer, stay silent, and do not ask anything, sis."

The truth is, Alice not wanted to ask any questions. After Desmond pulled her hand and carried her, her mind became relaxed, and it almost put her to sleep. She only woke up as Desmond spoke.

Continuing, they walked silently under the hot sunshine.

…

Arrived at the outer city, Desmond headed straight to the location where Alice was kidnapped.

On the way, Alice slowly recalled the location where she was kidnapped, she wanted to ask Desmond, but she remembered what Desmond said about not talking.

Hesitated, worried, and wanted to ask questions, Alice was confused, and without realized, they finally arrived in front of the alley where she had been kidnapped.

Slowly, Desmond entered the alley. At the end of the alley, Alice saw several demons bound with iron rope. The rope glowed bluishly. It was like a magic item.

She remembered the incident and her trauma; she wanted to jump off from Desmond's back and run, but her body has different thoughts. She was indeed hugged Desmond's back tightly and accidentally pulled Desmond's hair too.

Borne the pain, Desmond finally could not stand it. "Sis, calm down. Now you can come down." He deactivated his custom spell and saw Alice's condition.

Alice was shivering; her eyes were unfocused. Gradually advanced, Desmond came to one of the demons. "First, I want you to erase your fear toward demons.

Alice then saw the Demon screamed for help. That demon also put up a futile resistance.

"The second is…" Desmond chanted, and an invisible knife formed from a mass of iron.

Desmond slowly slit the Demon's neck as if showed 'How to kill the right way.' Because a cloth-covered the demon's mouth, it made the Demon scream less loud.

However, to Alice, she could feel how painful it was by looking at Demon begged expressions while staring at her.

"S-to-p. Desmond! " Unable to stand what she saw, Alice shouted. Her gaze upon Desmond had changed from a hero to a cold-blooded villain.

Desmond stopped his action and then pulled the knife from the demon's neck. * pop * Blood then came out continuously from the demon's neck. Several splashes of blood splashed got across Alice's face, made her expression even more terrified.

* thump * "Wha-t di-d yo-u do-broth-er." Her hands were shaken as she pointed toward the Demon lying on the ground with a look of shock.

Seeing Alice's reaction, Desmond became satisfied and nodded. "Let me say it clearly, sis. Never hesitate to kill." Then he approached Alice.

Without realize, Alice also slowly moved away from Desmond. In her sight, he was not her brother anymore, but a devil with a human face.

Seeing Alice moved away from him, Desmond, disappointed he shook his head.

There are two types of humans after they kill each other.

The first type is humans who are afraid after killing. It will always haunt them. They will usually recover after a few years but still have a sense of guilt.

Second, it is the humans who accept that reality. They will be got used to killing after the first murder; they assumed that all humans also died; they only hasten their destiny.

Desmond is a type of second-person because of the influence of the previous world. He became the heir to not just a name. He trained to get used to killing, played with firearms, and other things.

This became a habit that almost made his affection felt disappeared. If it were not for his organization's code of ethics, which stated 'The family must be protected and cared for,' maybe he would kill Alice and his family after he grew up.
