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?"
