Chapter 122: Her Secrets Part Three
Chapter 122: Her Secrets Part Three
After talking with Ruth, I felt much better about things since she made me realize a lot. I should not be worried about how Alissa reacts to my biggest secret. Alissa was giving up everything to be with me. Her life as a merchant was not easy, but she had many prospects and could even inherit her family's company. So her future was secured if she had someone marry into her family. But instead, Alissa had chosen to be with me. But this brought a thought to my mind I walked back to my room and sat down on the couch. I wanted to save and upgrade my system, but I also wanted to ask about a particular thing that had been bothering me. "System..."
"Yes, Host?"
"When a person falls in love with me, are they doing it because of my parameters or because the system is causing them to fall in love with me? As far as I know, the female lead is now my concubine when she should be off romancing all the male leads..." I was hoping and praying that it was not the system that made others fall in love with me and that it was my own charm that had them gather around me. Yes, I have high charisma, but it was not that high when I first met Able and Alissa.
"The system is not able to make people fall in love with you. Charisma allows you to attract others, but love is up to the person you attract. As for the two you are worrying about, Alissa and Able fell in love with you for being who you are. Well, Able is more of a closet pervert who fell in love with your naked body upon seeing it. Now, host, you broke your promise to me!" The system's words made me feel a bit relieved and also a bit mad. I mean, it was digging into my wonderful and handsome Able! But at the same time, I can see why the system was digging into Able. I did break my promise once again
"System, sorry, I was kind of out of it with both Able and Alissa sleeping at my side. But this time we can do it. I will be staying in the area, for the time being, so let's create a save point here and then you can go ahead and upgrade." I said as I leaned my head back onto the couch.
"Then, Rei, I will use one of your save tokens." Once the system's words fell, I was enveloped in blue light, confirming that I had saved.
"Once again, during the process, all system functions will be unusable except inventory and reviving at a save point." The system voice faded away, meaning it had now gone into upgrade mode. As I sat there staring at the ceiling, the door to my room opened, and Alissa came walking in. She looked to have sweated a lot while training.
"Rei!" her lips curled up into a beautiful smile as she happily bounced over to me.
"How was it?" I asked, knowing she had been training since early this morning.
"It was really a learning experience. I never thought magic knights were so... weak..." Alissa replied, letting out a long dejected sigh.
I, on the other hand, almost choked at her words. I could only guess she used the abacus and weakened them to a point where she could slap them silly. I was actually starting to feel bad for the magic knights' pride. I mean, getting beat by a little girl who held a weapon that looked nothing more than a tool for counting money must have been a huge blow to their ego. In truth, it may have also been amusing

Inside a small meeting hall, Ruth sat with her teacup in her hand and an eyebrow raised as she stared at the black and blue marks and swollen cheeks of her husband. "And what exactly happened to you?"
"That girl is a monster. I do not know what her weapon is, but she could wipe out the entire group of trainees and myself. Not to mention that little girl does not know the meaning of holding back. She smacked each and every one of us over and over with that damn strange weapon. What the hell is she!" Cedric complained. He had prided himself on being the strongest man in the kingdom. But he never expected to be beaten by such a small girl. He also knew he would not match up to Rei if she had more control over her magic. But Alissa really hurt his pride with how she just waved what looked like some random toy a few times and caused all his men to collapse on the ground.
"Would you expect anything less from someone who chases after our dear Rei? Of course, she will be a little monster. Plus, the thing she uses as a weapon was given to her by Rei. It dropped from the dungeon boss they killed. That alone should tell you that it is not any ordinary item. So it is not surprising that she could easily take you all out. " Ruth said while laughing. She found the whole thing quite amusing.
"Ruth..." Cedric said pathetically. He felt betrayed; his own wife wasn't even going to cheer him up! Instead, she sat that laughing!
"Alright, come here..." Ruth finally gave in and pulled the big strong man in front of her into her lap and hugged him tightly. If one were to witness this scene, they would probably laugh. Ruth may be strong, but she was only a few centimeters taller than Rei, and Cedric was on the tall side. So to see such a tall man sitting in Ruth's lap being babied by her made for a sight one must see to believe.
