Chapter 289 I Love You



Chapter 289 I Love You

Ace was startled by Scarlett's question.

'Confess my love to Evelyn?'

He suddenly remembered what he said to Evelyn last month.

"I think I have confessed my love to her." Ace responded, "When we met last month, I told her she was really important to me, and I would do whatever to protect her."

Valeria, who was lying on his left side, spoke abruptly. "That was not a proper confession, Ace."

"That's right." Scarlett added. "You have to confess your love to her properly."

Ace grabbed Valeria's slender waist before finally placing her on top of him. "I think it's enough to show her that I love her."

Even though Valeria was surprised by his sudden actions, she did not complain. "No. It's not enough."

Ace wrapped his arms around Valeria's back. "Why do you want me to confess to her immediately?"

Instead of answering his question, Scarlett asked, "Are you going to keep your relationship with her like this forever?"

After thinking for several seconds, he uttered, "Alright. I will tell her about my feelings again tomorrow morning."

"Good." Scarlett spoke.

"Then let's sleep now." Ace uttered.

Scarlett immediately embraced his left arm before finally closing her eyes. As for Valeria, she placed her head on his chest before finally shutting her eyes.

'Good night, Ace.'

Shortly after that, they fell asleep. 

----

Like what he said last night, Ace met Evelyn after having breakfast. Scarlett and Valeria said he needed to confess his love to Evelyn properly, so he took their advice and met her.

Evelyn did not know what he had in mind, so she thought he only wanted to chat with her normally when he brought her to a quiet place.

"Your city is so beautiful in the morning." Evelyn stated.

Unlike usual, Ace ignored her words and stood in front of her.

"Hmm? What is it?" Evelyn was startled when Ace suddenly held her hands and looked into her eyes.

Of course, she let him do whatever he wanted because they had held hands many times.

"Evelyn, I love you." Right after his voice stopped, a wind brushed against their bodies, causing their hair to dance softly.

Ace used his loving voice when he confessed his love to her because he wanted her to know how important she was to him.

An unexpected happiness consumed her.

Previously, she thought he just wanted to take her for a walk around his city.

Of course, she knew he loved her because she could tell everything from his caring behavior toward her.

However, hearing it directly from his mouth made her happy.

Due to how happy she was, she even felt like her feet barely touched the ground.

"I lov-" before Evelyn had finished her words, her master's voice rang out.

"There you are." Aurelia did not know that she had just ruined a romantic moment.

That was why she approached them without feeling guilty.

Evelyn and Ace turned their heads toward the source of the sound. The duo was shocked when they saw Aurelia because she chatted with Scarlett earlier.

"Lady Aurelia, how are you feeling?" Ace was not angry at Aurelia.

He even smiled at her.

Of course, he still held Evelyn's hands because he had just confessed his love to her.

"I'm feeling better." Aurelia's gaze fell on their hands.

'They are already holding hands in the morning.'

She added in her mind.

"Master, what are you doing here?" Evelyn forgot that she was still holding hands with Ace.

"My disciple, can I borrow your handsome boyfriend for a moment?" Aurelia had something to say to Ace.

Evelyn instantly felt shy after hearing her master's words. "Alright." 

"Hmm?" Aurelia smiled when Evelyn still held hands with Ace. "How can I borrow him if you keep holding his hands?"

Evelyn realized what she was doing and stopped holding Ace's hands. 

Aurelia shifted her gaze from Evelyn to Ace. "Young man, follow me."

"I will be back." After saying that to Evelyn, Ace followed Aurelia.

----

"Hey, do you think the magical wolf will tell us to be quiet again?" the green-haired man asked as he cut down a tree. 

"I don't know." The blue-haired man responded, "We are cutting down trees, so it's impossible not to make any noise."

The green-haired man shifted his gaze to Colonel Louie. "What do you think, Colonel Louie?"

"Just do what you should do. I will take care of the rest." Colonel Louie knew that it was impossible to cut down trees without making any noise.

"Then we will depend on you later, Colonel Louie." After saying that, the green-haired man continued cutting down the trees. 

As Colonel Louie was skimming his surroundings, a 3-star bear and white panda approached them slowly.

They were furious when they saw the citizens cutting down trees.

Framingburns forest was their territory, so no human was allowed to cut down their trees.

Cutting down the trees was the same as challenging them.

That was why the bear and the panda were enraged.

"Roar…" the bear roared angrily. "Human, how dare you cut down our trees? Are you challenging us openly?"

"Magical beast."

"Magical beast."

"Hey, go back. There are two magical beasts." 

The citizens abandoned their tasks and ran toward the shelter.

Colonel Louie and twenties of his subordinates instantly stood in front of the bear and the panda, protecting the citizens.

"You dare to cut down our trees, so your punishment is death." After saying that, the white panda attacked Colonel Louie and his subordinates. 

Not only the panda but the bear also attacked them.

Even though Colonel Louie could fight on par against the white panda, his subordinates got beaten up by the bear.

His subordinates were only at Elite rank, so the bear had the upper hand despite being ganged up on by them because he was already at 3-star.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The city guards were beaten up by the bear continuously.

Colonel Louie tried to help his subordinates, but the white panda always stopped him, causing him to be unable to help his subordinates.

The citizens, who saw the fight, put on worried faces.

They would get killed if Colonel Louie and his subordinates lost the fight because they were only ordinary people.

They were not awakeners, so it was impossible for them to kill the white panda and the bear.

It was even impossible for them to run away from these magical beasts because they were 3-star magical beasts.

That was why they were worried when the city guards were at a disadvantage in the fight.

"Hurry up and call Ace."

"Yes. Call him immediately."

"We need his help."

They remembered Ace when they were in danger because Ace could always protect them.

"I will call him now." after saying that, the green-haired man ran toward their city.

"Please run as fast as you can." The blue-haired man uttered. 

The citizens immediately grabbed the tools they used to cut trees. 

Even though they knew these tools were not enough to kill these magical beasts, but they could protect themselves better with these tools.

Of course, they would remain in their positions because attacking these magical beasts was the same as throwing away their lives.

'God, please help Colonel Louie and his subordinates.'

They held their tools as they prayed to God.

At the same time, Nova heard a loud noise from where the residents were. 

'So loud! Did they cut down a giant tree?' 

He still did not know that the citizens were in danger.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Loud sounds continued to reverberate throughout the area.

Nova instantly rose to his feet and looked toward the source of the sound.

'That isn't the sound of a tree falling.'

He believed it was the sound of someone fighting.

'Let me check it.'

With that idea in mind, Nova rushed toward where the citizens were.

"You are not bad, human!" The white panda stated.

Colonel Louie did not say anything and checked his subordinates and the citizens.

"But you will still lose the fight." The white panda uttered, "Look at your subordinates! They are getting beaten up by my friend."

The panda then continued, "After killing your subordinates, he will help me fight you. You are only at 3-star like me, so it's impossible for you to defeat us."

Colonel Louie hated to admit it, but what the white panda said was right.

'I hope someone will help us later.'

He said in his head.

At the same time, Nova arrived at the battlefield.

'As I thought, there is a fight in this place. What should I do now? Should I help these humans?'
