“On my way, I bought a crepe from the cafe and sat under the gazebo to eat it. Then I met you, but…” Aurora stopped and clenched her fists.
“But?” Zach wondered with a curious yet calm look on his face.
“I was going to kill myself after eating the crepe, but you approached me and asked me to heal you. Then, I realized something.” Aurora wiped her tears and asserted in a solemn voice: “My maids died protecting me. They sacrificed their life for me, so I didn’t have any right to kill myself. I decided to survive this game, for their sake, and my sake too. You saved me. If you hadn’t come, I would have killed myself. You are my knight.”
“….” Zach was speechless. He was expecting a cliche moment, but things escalated beyond his expectation. He had to change his comforting speech to something else.
“It’s not your fault that they died,” Zach uttered in a calm voice.
“But I forced them to—”
Zach inserted his finger in Aurora’s mouth to stop her from speaking. “Let me finish.”
Zach frowned his face and continued, “Their duty was to protect you. It was their role, and they accomplished it. They couldn’t have died in a better way. So don’t blame yourself.”
“Although, I am surprised your maids knew sword fighting,” Zach added and pulled out his finger from her mouth.
“They were my master too…” Aurora muttered under her breath and looked into Zach’s eyes. She held her tears back with a sad and painful expression on her face and uttered, “They were my only friends.”
Zach smiled gently at Aurora and patted her head. “It’s okay. You can think of me as a friend,” he said in a calm voice.
Aurora burst into tears and ended up crying anyway. She hugged Zach and squeezed him with her body.
Zach tried to hug her back but stopped halfway and let out a soft chuckle. ‘I don’t think you should give a passionate hug to the person who just became your friend. And I don’t like when girls touch me, but I will allow it for today.’
After that, Zach let Aurora hug him until she calmed down. When she came back to her senses, she was embarrassed and couldn’t make eye contact with Zach.
Zach decided to take a rest as both of them were exhausted, and Zach also wanted to cultivate his MP. They sat under the tree and talked for a while. However, Aurora fell asleep with her head leaning on Zach’s shoulder.
Zach tried to move her head, but he failed miserably. Aurora’s head was now on Zach’s lap, and he couldn’t move even if he wanted to.
He sighed and facepalmed himself. If he hadn’t tried to move her head, this wouldn’t have happened, so he was responsible for his current situation.
Zach looked at Aurora’s juicy lips, and then he gazed at the rest of her body.
‘She is so defenseless right now.’ He thought and glanced at her chest. ‘Her body is well developed, and after looking at her closely, I can see how beautiful she is. Her beauty indeed justifies her as a princess.’
Zach remembered how he could feel the softness on his chest when she was pressing her body against him.
‘Control, control yourself, Zach. She is 17 years old. She is a minor. Although she gives off a mature vibe—’ Zach stopped thinking when he remembered how Aurora was pouting like a kid on their way to the dungeon.
‘Sometimes,’ he added.
He sighed and threw out all the impure thoughts he was having about Aurora.
‘Luckily, I know how to abstain myself.’ He sneered. ‘Although I learn it the hard way.’ Zach groaned as he remembered his ex-girlfriend.
“Now then, what should I do?” Zach had two options. One was to leave Aurora behind and proceed to the next floor without her. She had only 10 HP left, and any minor attack could kill her.
The second option was the solution to the first problem. Zach could use Aria’s blessing to change his class to Healer and heal Aurora. However, he wouldn’t be able to change his class again for the next 24 hours.
Zach couldn’t leave Aurora behind after his declaration of friendship with her, so he chose the second option.
He used Aria’s blessing and changed his secondary class from Witcher to the Healer.
“I can’t believe it worked,” Zach muttered under his breath.
“Heh!” he chuckled after he remembered Aria and his fight with her. ‘I hate to admit it, but I am glad I met her.’
If he hadn’t met or fought with Aria, then he wouldn’t have received her blessing, nor would he be able to change his class freely.
“Oh, crap…” Zach remembered he didn’t have any MP left, and he needed MP to heal.
He cultivated 180 MP in thirty minutes, and he received 20 more MP by resting. However, it still wasn’t enough to heal Aurora to her maximum HP. He needed 600 MP, and for that, he needed to cultivate for nearly two hours. He was already short on time to finish the quest, so he didn’t have time to waste.
“Let’s heal her with 200MP. At least she will have 2010 HP.” Zach decided to use 200MP to heal Aurora. He thought he would only be able to recover 2000 of her HP, but he healed her to 6000 HP, and it only consumed 60 MP.
He raised his brows in confusion and wondered, ‘If I remember correctly, she said 1MP heals 10 HP, but I healed 100 HP for 1 MP.’
That was the benefit of his cultivator class. He enhanced the healing process by ten times using his cultivation. However, it was useless for him as he was going to change his class back to Witcher after 24 hours.
