Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 43: To Almast

In the early morning, Luis sat in the garden sipping a cup of fragrant mana tea, and in front of him stood a fierce-looking man with blue hair and a small scar near his right eye.

"Did you find anything, Jack?" Luis asked as he placed the cup of mana tea beside him.

"No, young master. The target is constantly being monitored. But no suspicious activity yet." Jack said emotionlessly.

Luis nodded his head and didn't feel disheartened by the result. He expected as much. If Ren Varnish wasn't deeply hidden, he would have been caught long ago.

"Hmm, continue monitoring."

"Yes, young master."

Jack said without a change of expression.

Nodding his head, Luis asked another question. "What about Alicia's mansion? Are there any suspicious people lurking around her estate?"

"No, young master. No such people are found."

Hearing Jack's words, Luis grinned inwardly. 'It seems they found out that Alicia is not living there anymore.'

"Well, leaving that aside. I have a different matter to discuss with you." Luis said seriously.

Hearing his solemn tone, Jack stood there motionless, waiting for Luis to continue.

"This is a list of materials I want to be prepared." With a wave of his hand, Luis sent the hologram of the list from his mana bracelet to Jack's.

Jack didn't question and immediately said. "It will be done."

Luis knew Jack will report this matter to his dad, but he didn't care. To be honest, it didn't matter to him. Excluding his real identity and his memories of his previous life, he doesn't have anything to hide from them.

"Also, we are going to the city of Almast. So, prepare these things and get the teleport circle ready." Giving out some instructions, Luis left the garden, leaving the confused Jack who couldn't comprehend Luis' actions. But as a loyal shadow of Ronald, he wouldn't question what he shouldn't.

So he immediately left to first report it to Ronald and then carry out young master Luis' orders.

***

Luis went to the training grounds and saw Lumine teaching swordsmanship to Alicia. More like Alicia was just trying to strike her, and Lumine was instructing and correcting her mistakes.

Alicia's talent in swordsmanship sure is one of the best. Once her mistake is corrected, she won't repeat it. Her adaptability is insane. Even her form was getting more and more beautiful.

When they noticed Luis' arrival, they stopped and turned to look at him in unison.

"What are you doing here? Didn't your father tell you to abstain from practice for today?" Lumine asked, looking at him in confusion.

Yes, at the time of breakfast, Ronald reprimanded Luis for taking a risk by fighting a D-rank monster.

"Today you won't do any strenuous training and just rest," Ronald said.

Luis could only oblige, otherwise, Ronald would burst out again and continue to nag.

Ronald wanted Alicia to take a day off too, but she denied it without hesitation. Instead of taking breaks, she was more eager to practice swordsmanship under Lumine.

Hence, today is Luis' day off from practice. That is why he decided to move his plan forward and obtain 'that'.

"I am going to the city of Almast. Will be back by the evening."

Hearing Luis' words, both of them were stunned. Then, regaining her composure, Lumine asked with a frown.

"Alone?"

Luis knew her worry, so he answered calmly.

"No, Jack is going with me."

Lumine nodded her head and wanted to ask why he was going, but because of Ronald's words last night, she held back the curiosity inside her and uttered. "Be careful."

Luis smiled, then he glanced at Alicia. He saw that she wanted to say something, but no words came out of her mouth. Maybe it was embarrassment, or she was having trouble expressing herself. In the end, she just looked at him seriously and said, "Come back soon."

But Luis wasn't going to let it be easy for her. He looked at her in anticipation, then his expression turned into a confused one. "That's it?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Alicia was also confused, thinking she made a mistake.

Luis went close to her and whispered in a seductive tone, "Aren't you going to hug or kiss me to show your affection?"

Alicia felt her cheeks burn and her white skin was covered in red dew. She couldn't handle the embarrassment and immediately raised her sword, making a distance.

*Shing*

She breathed heavily, not because she was angry but blushing heavily. She felt her heart jumping wildly.

Pointing her sword at Luis, she said, "S-So shameless."

At the end of the pointed blade toward himself, Luis looked at her innocently, "But you are my fiancee, how is it wrong for me if I want to hug and kiss you?"

Alicia couldn't find any words to rebuke him. Not that she wanted to. But she was too scared to admit it in front of Lumine.

Luis looked at her aggrievedly and said, "When you hug me it's fine, but if I want to hug you it's shameless. So unfair."

Alicia's pupils constricted as she glanced at Lumine nervously. Sure enough, Lumine was giving her a weird look.

Before Alicia could explain herself. She didn't know when Luis used Spatial Jump, disappeared, and then reappeared behind her.

Only when she felt his touch around her waist did she understand that she was being hugged from behind.

Her body tensed up as she nervously looked at Lumine's reaction. But still didn't try to break apart from his hug.

When she heard his voice near her ears, she felt a tingling sensation inside her body.

"Relax Alicia. Stop being so tense around me."

He continued.

"There is no need to be on edge all the time. We are going to be a family. So you can relax around us."

Luis had noticed that since the time Alicia has been trying to stop being cold and indifferent towards the family, sometimes she doesn't know how to act and ends up being too formal.

He knew with time she will automatically adjust herself, but a small push won't do anything bad.

'Yeah, everything is for her sake. It's not that I want to take advantage of her.' Luis thought righteously.

Alicia didn't say anything and silently enjoyed the warmth of his embrace.

Lumine looked at the familiar scene in front of her and thought, 'Their flirting is getting outrageous day by day.'
