The sunlight was touching his skin, his short brown hair was waving in the air.
Clear blue sky and flushing leave can be seen so Clearly.
"Ohohoho! What is this?"
Young master Gaun's eyes were so clear, he could even see every flapping wing of small bees and flies around him.
"Is this Apprentice Magician order one?"
However, the surprise did not make young master Gaun waver as he quickly put his mind to his purpose.
His eyes squinted as he looked around. He noticed there were six knights on their horses.
"Sir?"
The six knights were surprised to see the target walk out of the carriage.
However, what made them feel more surprised was that his countenance like how he stood and looked at them changed.
Young master Gaun's eyes observed them and knotted as he spoke.
"The six of you aren't my knights. Who are you all?"
The question made them stunned.
It feels like they were being interrogated.
"I-"
One of the knights was about to answer but young master Gaun only waved his hand.
"Doesn't matter, I can't feel any animosity and killing intent towards me. So I don't care."
Young master Gaun casually said.
"We-"
The knight stuttered as he tried to speak.
They are not a knight of Leyhart Baron territory.
They are the knights trained by France, who was a personal guard of Leanne.
They do not know the details of why they are here but they know that this man in front of them is not like this.
Young master Gaun didn't care about their reaction.
He is a noble, he would take advantage of it.
He looked at the sword of the knight and lifted his hands like he was asking for it.
"Let me borrow your sword."
The knight was thoroughly confused and dumbfounded by young master Gaun's demands.
Seeing that the knight did not answer and was still startled, young master Gaun felt terrible about him being a knight.
'If this was an enemy ambush, this knight would die in a second.'
However, he didn't care about him, probably he's just a knight bred for this useless trip, then he won't be hired again.
"What? Is that thing so important to you? Don't tell me your life is your sword?"
Young master Gaun startled the man to wake up from his daze.
Young master Gaun was thoroughly disappointed and soon the knight bowed and gave him his sword and its heavy metallic scabbard.
"I apologize, your grace."
Young master Gaun nodded and did not comment or reprimanded him.
He holds the handle of the sword and sheaths it from its scabbard and throws the scabbard away.
A feeling of coldness rasped his fingers.
Young master Gaun caresses the blade and scrutinized it while thinking of the gift he received from the system.
"So If I cut myself, I won't die, right?"
Out of the knights' shock.
Young master Gaun gripped his sword tightly in his right hand and swung it down to his left hand.
"SIRE?"
The knights shouted with worry and wondered why and what had happened.
However, the knights were greeted with a spurt of blood flying everywhere.
"Sir!!!"
"No!"
"Young sir."
The knights scrambled into a panic.
Young master Gaun's face went awry.
'You're all a knight and you cry seeing blood? Is my status too high as a noble?'
Young master Gaun thought but he knew it was because they might get killed if they let a noble's blood spray in their presence.
He decided not to taunt them anymore.
"Do not fret. This is my gift. Look!"
Young master Gaun didn't know how it was going to happen but it was taking him long enough.
'Should I use Mana?'
Young master Gaun used Mana. He instantly felt a little of energy zapped in a second.
All of the sudden, as if a miracle was happening, the scattered blood turned into light.
They all suddenly concentrated back on young master Gaun's arms and soon he felt a tremendous force all over his body.
It's like his body is a colony of ants, and these ants are marching in every fiber of his being.
Ding!
[ The host nearly killed himself by slashing himself but with only a two percent chance of dying. ]
Ding!
[ Reward: Courting Death Points savings. ]
[ Saving: 0 Courting Death Points. ]
In young master Gaun's eyes, the light turned his bleeding arm back to normal.
However, to the knights, it was an awe of the holy light.
To them, the church is a special place not inferior to nobles.
"A gift?!"
The knights were all stunned that they couldn't move.
Leanne and even the knight who were clad in armor also froze in their step.
Young master Gaun ignored their looks and just asked the system.
He flexed his muscles and tightened his fist.
'I've gotten stronger.'
He thought as he looked at the notification of the system again.
'Savings?'
Ding!
[ It will all be displayed in the future. ]
Young master Gaun's face changed but only a little and he became relaxed again.
'Finally, I have the power to defend myself against Lawrence.'
Thud! Thud!
Young master Gaun felt a huge presence at his back when he turned around.
He saw Leanne and a knight with greater design on his armor.
'Sigh, here she is again.'
Young master Gaun felt guilty again because he gaslighted Leanne.
However, he didn't have a choice because he could feel that he was going to die at that moment and was right, which was confirmed by the system.
'Things are awkward.'
'How should I escape this situation?'
'Should I just confront her about everything?'
'But I am not the original owner of this body so it's not my business.'
'What to do in this situation?'
'I don't want her to bother me and I also don't want to associate myself with her but she is this bastard's wife already.'
Young master Gaun realized that these rookie knights were all still stunned.
Probably because too many things are happening at the same time.
Young master Gaun's brows furrowed, and he ran to the center of the knights.
This made Leanne and the knight clad in armor surprised.
Young master Gaun extended his hands and pointed his swords at them.
"State your names and intentions!"
As if time had stopped.
Everyone was confused by the sudden event.
It was silent. Everyone could feel that the young master was serious.
"Knights?"
Young master Gaun pretended.
'Sigh, If I pretend I lost my memory. Maybe that would be an excuse to get away from this relationship, right?'
Young master Gaun was wary, however, the latter were all powerful individuals.
Especially Leanne.
The current young master looks serious.
To make himself look serious, young master Gaun acknowledges he is not the original but someone from planet earth.
He knew these mages might can tell the truth, or even read his mind.
"Young master, she is-?"
The surrounding knights were still dumbstruck.
Leanne however, sent the knights a magical aura and made them stop speaking.
"What?"
Young master Gaun looked at the Knight as if he was interrogating him.
Leanne felt her world buzzing.
She also saw how his husband slashed his hands to bleed and the way it healed.
'Could it be true because of the gift or just another healing potion?'
All of a sudden, the way Leanne looked at him changed.
'If he received a gift, there would be a backlash because of how rare it was.'
'has forgotten everything after awakening!?'
It was a gentle breeze. Young master Gaun felt like he made a terrible mistake but he didn't know where.
"You don't remember me?"
Leanne asked, with a sliver of light in her eyes.
"I don't know who you are, pretty lady.
"However, I am someone who cannot trust even a beauty like you in this unknown world."
Young master Gaun knew this girl from head to toe.
She wanted something from the original body.
"I am your beloved wife."
Leanne explained with a bashful look on her face.
Young master Gaun felt this girl had very thick skin.
"Beloved wife? You are my wife?"
Young master Gaun looked around him, hoping that these guards would also tell him she was not.
However, no one answered.
Young master Gaun smiled inside his head.
This is the right time where he could say stuff for this girl to Leanne r to end this relationship.
Since he forgot, he would say she got nothing to do with him anymore.
She can see Leanne.
She is free.
She can now find someone to love.
However, as the young master Gaun thought of that, Leanne suddenly gave him an eerie smile.
"Yes, I am your beloved wife. You only forgot because you received a gift and awakened your holy power."
"You have forgotten about me, my love but I won't Leave you behind."
Young master Gaun froze upon hearing this. He made a big mistake.
In this novel, when a mage awakens, some of them would receive gifts.
However, it was so rare for one to awaken such gifts because even if someone receives one, a repercussion would also come along with it.
Simply put, a curse or a blessing.
For example, if one awakened a dark magic attribute with a swallowing ability that is connected to the demon Beelzebub, they would get so fat.
If it's wrath like berserk, they would become so ugly and scary at the same time.
For the Light attribute, if they have awakened a unique power while still virgin which is connected to Uriel, they would become so handsome or pretty.
Another light attribute is if they have incredible stamina which is connected to Gabriel, they would always be admired by people.
And a lot more.
Seeing the look on young master Gaun's face, Leanne became confused again.
"You don't remember me? You said that you would do anything for me."
Sweat trickled on the young master Gaun's back.
He didn't expect that this cheeky woman would take this opportunity.
"You would give anything I desire and protect me from any harm."
Leanne who was always serious earlier acted like she is a frail girl.
Young master Gaun was feeling his fantasy world was being invaded…
'Sh*t! I should've told her I don't want her!'
He knew that the magical order of the woman was high, so he didn't resist if she killed him again.
However, seeing how she acts right now feels like a nightmare.
'In the future, if I do not drive this woman out of my life.'
'I would receive thousands of assassination plots and schemes from that crazy king who is so obsessed with you.'
'I don't want to court de-!?'
However, young master Gaun stopped at that point as he realized something very important.
