Chapter 44 - Goodbye Alice(2)

nDesmond stopped, not continuing his steps. He sat on the floor, waiting for Alice to calm down.
n…
nAfter a few minutes, Alice finally calmed down and looked at Desmond.
"I'm sorry about earlier, brother.
" Realizing her actions, Alice felt guilty.
nInitially, she saw Desmond as a devil or cold-blooded villain. But when she remembered the kidnapped incident, Desmond was the only one who was right on time to help her. Her view of Desmond returned again, this time no longer as a hero but as someone who cares about family.
nRecalling Desmond's words, Alice slowly began to accept the reality. She looked at Desmond and saw Desmond also staring seriously at her.
nConcluded, Alice slowly walked towards one demon. Chanting a spell, an ice sword formed from the demon's blood near her.
nAlice turned to Desmond once again and saw Desmond nodding.
nRaising her sword, Alice slashed the demon from above with her eyes closed.
n* pop *
nHer face was full of blood. She opened her eyes and saw her sword stuck in the middle of the Demon's mouth, unable to cut it in half.
n
"Aaaah!
" Dropping her sword, Alice fell and screamed. The fact that she had killed someone still flashed back in her memory.
nSeeing Alice, who'd managed to kill the Demon, Desmond was satisfied and nodded several times.
nNot bad, Not bad. At least she dared to take action; the first step is the most difficult.
nDesmond then approached Alice and held her cheek.
"It's okay, sis, this is fate. The weak will only become food for the strong.
" He chanted a spell and soaked his clothes with water. He slowly wiped Alice's bloodied face.
nAlice, who had been in shock, immediately hugged Desmond.
n*hiks* *hiks *
nShe cried while hugging Desmond tightly without saying a word.
nDesmond then stroked Alice's hair.
"From now, remember, sis, don't hesitate to kill.
n
"But still obey the rules. If you want to kill someone, at least do it as quietly as possible.
"
nAlice's cries grew louder. She inadvertently let out a slight chill, leaving the alleyway covered with mist.
n…
nAfter a few minutes of crying, Alice finally stopped. Her face flushed slightly, and then she looked at Desmond with suspicion.
" Tell me, brother, since when?
"
nDesmond laughed.
"Haha, I used to be just like you… crying after my first kill…
" He looked up at the sky while he remembered his past.
nHearing this, Alice became confused.
nSince when? Has my younger brother been used to killing since when? How can he be so calm now?
nMany questions popped into her mind. The more she thought about it, the more mysterious her brother became.
nAlice finally realized.
nI know! My brother must always hide his cry and bear this feeling. And as an elder sister, I am useless not knowing and comforting him.
nSighing, Alice held Desmond's hand.
"Take it, easy, brother! This time, I will protect you.
"
nSeeing Alice's glare sparkling, Desmond became awkward.
nWhy is it like this? I thought she would depend more on me.
nShaking his head, Desmond held Alice's hand.
"Don't worry, sis, I've been fine all this time. I'm just worried about your safety.
" He looked back at the blue sky, remembering his past again.
nDesmond did not know; when Alice saw his sad gaze, she became even more confident about protecting her brother.
nDesmond then looked at Alice.
" Sis, so what's the important thing you want to talk about?
"
n
"Ah, so I want to tell you that mother gave me a technique.
"
nTechnique? Maybe?
n
"Did mother tell you the secret she brought?
"
nHearing this, Alice was confused.
"What secret are you talking about? Mother just gave me a technique… for something,
" Alice teased as she almost talked about the technique she got.
nSeeing Alice's behavior, Desmond rolled his eyes.
"Come on, sis, if you don't want to talk about it, don't talk.
" Desmond was a little annoyed by Alice's behavior, becoming more and more ignorant over the years.
nBut what can he do if the other party doesn't want to tell him? Interrogation? It was impossible to do that as he loved Alice.
nThis was Desmond's part or weakness since he was accustomed to using harsh means to obtain information in his old world.
nSeeing Desmond's expression that lost interest, Alice silently laughed in her heart. You will see at the King's party later!

n-Present Time-
nThis is the reason Alice had a killing aura and also had a slight change in her nature. At that time, Desmond was also surprised at Alice's energy burst when fighting Clementine.
nHe knew the details of Alice's conversation directly from Clementine's mouth. Even she asked for compensation if he goes to visit her house.
nBut it shocked me, too.

n....
nWho would have thought that the technique mother gave to Alice was so useful in all situations?
nDesmond knows that Alice has reached the 1st class, just a show. If he hadn't commanded the system to scan Alice's status, perhaps he believes that Alice is already close to the 1st Class.
nSeeing Alice, who was currently ordering several servants to transport goods, Desmond felt lonely for the years ahead.
nAfter a few minutes, they finished transporting the goods, and then Alice walked over to Desmond.
" See you at the academy, brother. I will miss you.
" She hugged Desmond.
n
"Be careful there. Remember the words I said.
"
n
"Ok, goodbye, brother,
" she said, kissing Desmond on the cheek. Alice immediately ran and got into the horse carriage.
nDesmond was still in a state of shock as he watched the mercenaries approach him.
"Hello, thank you for giving this job to us. We will fully protect your sister.
"
nDesmond then returned to his senses and saw a beautiful pink-haired woman in front of him.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can guarantee my sister's safety.
" He looked behind the pink-haired woman only to see the other mercenaries were also women.
nSeeing Desmond's curious gaze, the pink-haired woman chuckled.
" My name is Veronica, Leader of the Mercenaries Steel Legion,
" she said, stretching out her arms.
nAfter finishing analyzing all the mercenary members, Desmond looked back at Veronica while shaking her hand.
"Desmond.
"
nSystem scan.
nScanning the target ..
nScan Complete!

nLuckily, Weston kept his promise.
nBut ... who would have thought he would send party mercenaries?
nI thought he would send his bodyguards.
nAs he thought, the mercenaries and the carriage were already far away, and then he saw Alice came out of the carriage window and wave at him.
nHuh, silly girl.
nWaving back, Desmond waited until they were far away. A 3rd Swordsman escorted Alice's carriage. This made his heart calm.
nAt least Alice would be safer.
