Chapter 10 - Tower Masters?

A massive magical aura penetrated everyone's mind.

Young master Gaun and Leanne looked up with shocked expressions.

Lawrence and France in far away distance were also shocked to their mind.

"Who?"

Young master Gaun's body became restless.

Like a wind that blows the entire area, the burning woodland suddenly disappeared.

All the burnt trees and grasses became dried and amidst the charcoal were small plants sprouting everywhere.

Like giving a new life, new hope.

"We have sensed a great stress of magic earlier."

"It was confirmed by a summoned legendary creature on what we can tell."

A man who was wearing a magic robe with a crest on it spoke.

Crest of Church, Magic tower, and KIngdom of Fiorell royal family.

The alliance.

He is beside four eye-catching adult individuals in blurry clothing with eight uniformed kids who are likely students.

Suddenly, their attention shifted.

Their eyes landed on young master Gaun and Leanne who were currently hugging each other.

"We would like you two to please tell us who burns this land."

The guy with the alliance crest, 

Leanne looked up at them. She didn't seem surprised by their presence.

'They came upon my estimation.'

Leanne thought she planned all this stuff earlier as she was planning to kill the past young master Gaun who didn't care about her and escape the Leyhart territory.

'How do I get rid of them!? Hmm?'

However, this time, they are useless to her since she confirmed she is now together with her lover.

"Who the f*ck are you bastards that dared to block the sun that's giving this young master a shine to this filthy place!?"

It was like a drop of a pin in the silence.

The voice was like a lightning whip, Leanne became frozen in shock when she heard that.

Everyone's attention shifted to the young master Gaun. 

Everyone was left surprised seeing his facial features and aura.

He is fearless.

Ding!

[ The current host is advised not to court death so much since the host didn't have an extra life. ]

[ However, the miracle ability was still active. ]

'Eh!?'

Even young master Gaun was scared shitless when he realized what he blurted out.

'What?'

Ding!

[ The user is a side villain who survived against fate. Now, fate will work against the current host. ]

Ding!

[ Unknown negative energy invaded. ]

Ding!

[ System now recognized it as an arrogant young master impulse. ]

Young master Gaun nearly puked some blood hearing this.

'What does it mean?'

Ding!

[ The arrogant young master impulse will make the current host incredibly prideful. ]

Blood vessels and worry were written on his face.

'What? What should I do with it?'

Ding!

[ The host can't do anything about it. ]

It was advice.

A useless piece of advice.

Young master Gaun didn't know if he should cry or laugh but it seems like the system is also helpless against fate.

Calming himself down.

This time, he didn't blame the system or himself since it was in his current soul, or blood, or whatever...

It was fate.

Young master Gaun accepted that just got carried away from gaining courting death points and the fate of this life had given him.

Knowing that they are looking for high-status and dangerous individuals.

He should be careful since he didn't have an extra life.

"Oh?"

The man with the alliance crest was surprised by the attitude of the young master Gaun.

He flashed his crest and young master Gaun decided not to act on his arrogant young master rashly.

"Oh... This is a misunderstanding."

Noticing that the atmosphere was awkward, young master Gaun stood up.

Cough! Cough!

"I am Gaun Leyhart, son of the third chief of the Leyhart family, greets you sincerely."

Young master Gaun bowed.

Even though he read so many fantasy kingdom magic novels.

He is not used to their courtesy.

He also controlled himself from being arrogant, so his words were all cut a little.

Ding!

[ The host is targeted by negative intents. ]

Young master Gaun realized that notification from the system.

He tried to eye where it came from.

Since he couldn't find them, he just assumed that everyone had negative intentions.

'Husband.'

Leanne could only sigh, judging from the young master Gaun's reaction.

She knew her husband didn't know his reputation or forgot.

He was a rapist, a son of a crook, and abusive.

Also, he would often insult people who are poorer than him but would be respectful to those who have higher status than him.

'I need to protect my husband.'

Leanne thought and stilled in her heart. 

Her eyes locked on the people of churches and the tower master of the red tower.

"I repeat, who was the one responsible for the dark flame around?"

The guy with the alliance crest spoke. 

This time he was not respectful since he knew this arrogant bastard of the Leyhart family.

A coward, a lazy bum, an arrogant person who would use his family background in a moment.

Young master Gaun looked at her wife.

He noticed her vixen wife was not in the mood as she looked warily at the people of the church.

'This vixen is not responding. I knew she was the one they wanted.'

'A talented person with a legendary summons can become stronger or reach their level easily.'

'Same as Sid who was being nurtured when they discovered him in the novel.'

Young master Gaun knew the guy was getting impatient, so he tried to internalize everything depending on his situation.

'If I tell them now, my vixen wife would be taken forcefully and trained by the Tower masters, as the war between dark elves and humans is at risk.'

'She also didn't have the intention to do so...'

'Maybe because the thing that she wanted from me was more important than the status of a magic tower protégé.'

Young master Gaun weighed the pros and cons. 

'I need my vixen wife beside me, especially after that incident where she couldn't control her gift.'

'That dangerous flame could give me a high amount of courting death points in the future.'

Leanne cannot use magic right now, however, she had treasures she created to protect herself.

She tried to stand and was about to activate the protection but young master  Gaun stopped her by blocking her with his hands.

"It was my wife but I don't plan on giving her to any of you."

It was abrupt, not expected that the arrogant young master Gaun would say that.

Then, they expected him to leave the girl since they already knew that she was the one who caused this.

The tower masters said nothing.

However, the teen with the man in a robe from church spoke.

"You still have the guts to say your words when your words are all empty."

"Gaun Leyhart, a noble who lost his shot to become a Baron." 

"A waste who would use his family background any time to commit atrocious acts?"

"We all know you don't even treasure your wife and now you speak as if you care about her?"

"You are lucky to be alive to this day, but once your cousin becomes the Baron, I will judge you myself."

Young master Gaun did not recognize him as a noble.

He didn't even know nor was interested in knowing him, but the way he acted was so haughty like those in churches.

He is pissed by his attitude.

Ding!

[ Arrogant young master impulse is activating. ]

Young master Gaun however, ignored that warning from the system of his and spoke.

"You dare utter a word against this young master when a mere pipsqueak believer of the Church like you don't even know anything."

"Are you sure you are fit to be a believer of the Holy Light when all you do is believe in rumors without basis?"

"Don't tell me you want to court death?"

After they finished talking, young master Gain realized what happened.

Even the way he looked at them.

He recognized he looked so arrogant.

'F*ck! What the hell is this arrogant young master impulse!?'

'You sure you did not do this, system?!'

Ding!

[ Come on host, I'm your system. If the system was not here, the host would have been long-dead in this universe. ]

Ding!

[ The host must remember, it's us against fate! ]

Ding!

[ Just consider the arrogant young master's impulse as a gift for the host to court death most of the time. ]

Reading this, young master Gaun nodded but the only problem is that he didn't have extra life anymore.

He also couldn't control this impulse even though he didn't want to say those words.

The teen church bot gazed at the church guy who was on the same level as the tower master.

The church guy nodded at him.

"Alright, so you're telling me you treasure your wife so much?"

"You are not  the type of person like in those baseless rumors we heard?"

When the church boy spoke, young master Gaun froze.

The tower masters noticed this and nodded as the church people bowed to them slightly.

Young master Gaun did not notice it but Leanne did.

'They wanted us to separate, and they wanted me to see it myself.'

Leanne thought, but she was curious about what he was going to answer, so kept her mouth closed.

However, she is now making a promise to herself.

'No matter how much he doesn't like me, I will still stay with him in this life.'

'I will make him mine, even if his heart is not for me.'
