He looked at his hands that had slain countless people; there were even some important things to him that have also ended by these hands.

He couldn’t stop shivering as he recalled the tragic appearance of all those countless people lying in the pool of their blood.

He remembered how his hands were covered in their blood, their screams, their pleas and even their fear.

Then the image changed. It was the face of his sister smiling at him. Looking at him gently and filled with love.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled how he was loved and cared for by her sister. Those warm and soft hands.

He remembered her bright and innocent smile that was not tainted by any evil or malice.

Recalling these things, a small tear suddenly falls from his eyes, dripping onto the hand that was holding the communicator.

 “I still have dreams…” Allen started with a faint voice.

“?”

“I was back in the frontlines, sweating. My heart was beating fast and the sight of blood made me itch… what am I? What do I want to do? What do I desire?”

“Allen,”

“I know myself better than anyone in this world… Mia.”

“… ….”

“I haven’t done anything yet, you’re right but my soul was already tainted long ago. I can even feel it, the monster that you’re afraid of, screaming and violently bashing inside of me.”

!!?

“It was just waiting to be released. My body is getting excited and my blood boils when I thought about the upcoming war. The fight gave me satisfaction and killing calm my nerve. Fortunately, it’s still weak enough to be suppressed by my reason while constantly reminding myself that I have a very important mission…"

"But I'm certain that it won't last long...”

“… …”

“That’s the reason why I was afraid of meeting my sister. At this ‘Me’ who possess such monster inside, I’m afraid I might hurt her without even realizing it…”

“… Allen, I think that’s just your imagination created from the pain you’re suffering right now as well as the experiences you have gained from the previous life…” Mia’s gentle voice echoed from the small speaker.

“You don’t need to worry about it, I’m sure that no matter what you ended up with, she won’t deny you and instead accept you with all her heart…”

Judging from how huge of a brocon your sister was, I’m afraid that even if you become a real demon king, she would accept you with open arms! Mia grumbled inwardly but she didn’t say those things out loud. Up until now, she was still fighting Lerina while trying to erase those kinds of things in Lerina’s mind, unfortunately, it seems like it’s even more difficult than ascending to heaven.

Although they said that greatest rival you have in love is your lover’s family but I’m pretty sure they didn’t mean that way!              

“Pain you say…” Allen didn’t have any clue as to what was running through Mia’s mind and thought about her words deeply.

“Unfortunately, I disagree. My fortitude isn’t as half-assed as that… and I don’t have any time to mope in those kinds of things.”

“… The pain of the heart I mentioned has no relation with the strength of body and will. What the others did, doesn’t it feel painful just from that?”

“…Mia.”

It seemed he was seen through. From time to time, he would feel pain from thinking his former friends. Allen reflexively blinked, and then Mia talked to him through the small speaker with a gentle tone.

“You’re not alone. I’m here and no matter what happens, I give you my word, I would never leave you!”

“… …”

“However, please spare with those womanizing act of yours… please.”

Allen was a little stunned and muttered a ‘What?’ with his mouth turned into an ‘O’. Why the heck did the topic turned into this?

“…Ha, though I did say that I would never leave you…but I still have my patience, Allen.”

Allen’s eyes turned round for a moment from the sudden change of topic, but then his expression turned awkward.

He was startled, the subject changed too fast. “…I don’t know what you are talking about?”

Allen denied her claims without hesitation.

However, Mia was confident. Back in the other world, Allen was extremely popular with women, especially in the [ Dawn Alliance ].

When all the women gathered together like bathing or playing together, Allen would get mentioned from time to time. His name would even pop out in a much-unexpected place.

And although Mia didn’t want to admit it Allen’s filings before he joined the alliance was extremely popular, especially for the women who loves gossiping. It could even be said that from all the male Kings, all their relationships combined couldn’t even reach half of that of Allen’s.

That was also attributed to the fact that except for Allen, all the rest belongs to an organization or countries. Thus, their time was almost spent doing their duties and responsibilities which were unlike Allen who wandered in this vast world, doing everything whatever he wanted. They have no time looking for women at all.

- Queen, Princess, Peasant, demi-humans and even monsters, Allen never discriminated his target at all. There were even rumors that Allen stole even a married woman, whether it was human or monsters.

Although these were all just rumors but with the appearance of the Snow Wolf Princess who should’ve been the Queen of the Snow Wolf Clan, One of the prestigious demon-beast clan, following him as well as the [ Witch Queen of the North ] that should’ve been an enemy but often give a timely help after almost been assassinated by Allen… this rumor was then strengthened.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

No one knows how he did it but everyone doesn’t have any choice but to acknowledge one thing!

His charm to women was the strongest cheat he possesses that even the other Kings couldn’t match up to!

Because of these precedents, Mia never trusted Allen’s chart of relationship. He was definitely a Casanova!

An untamed Casanova!

 “The thorn medallion, who did you, gave it? Thumbeline or Alkrasha?” there’s a sharp tone in her voice.

And this current situation should be the same…

“… …”

“Allen, although I did say before that I won’t let you look at another girl but all this time I have prepared myself for this.” Mia’s voice suddenly turned gentle but with a hint of sourness as if she had just drunk a bowl of vinegar. Which woman wouldn’t want their lover to be devoted to one?

But he’s so excellent; it’s hard to prevent others from seducing him! 

She can try taming him but that will definitely not work and it might only create a gap on their relationship. She must avoid that kind of thing!

Besides, even if you can break a beast’s fangs, but Allen wasn’t just a beast.

He’s worse!

He’s an incarnation of the monster of fickleness!!

“…I know that no matter what I say, I won’t be able to stop things like this from happening because you will always attract attention… I guess that’s the charm and charisma of the Allen I know possesses before he joined the [ Dawn Alliance ].”

“… …”

“But I only need one thing. Your honesty… I want to have something that can reassure me that you will return to me no matter what happens. That’s all I want, Allen… I don’t want to lose you, never.” Mia pleaded.

“… …”

Mia’s very gentle yet pleading voice was the personification of bewitching made Allen’s breath taken away. Allen immediately tried to say something, but when he heard her voice, immediately his cheeks reddened and his words got caught in his throat.

“uu” he could only groan, guilt surging inside of him.

Speaking clearly, if Mia was like this, there was no one that could go against her. Even Daniel and the others in the past could obediently give up, much less Allen.

“I know…”

“So…?”

“Yeah, Alkrasha had the Thorn Medallion as for the method why she accepted it…”

“You don’t need to tell me everything…” Mia cut off. “…I could guess it myself.”

Allen smiled wryly as an image of Mia turning her face aside with a huff and let out a sulking voice appeared on his mind.

 “Ugh,”

 “…but from now on, you will tell me everything right?” Mia instructed.

“…Yeah…” The gaze of Allen who ate a straight punch of love was wandering around.

On another side, Mia who understood that Allen was being shy chuckled and beautiful voice rang out from the communicator.

After concluding some over-sensitive topic, Allen and Mia spent some time talking with each other.

Maybe because of the newly found closeness, Allen was now somewhat more honest towards Mia and the two had been able to talk about things more efficiently.

And perhaps because of the long separation, the two chatted happily for a long time. At the same time, Allen, after almost a month, has also gotten quite a good rest...

Amidst the ticking of the clock, their hearts growing warm from every passing minute.

--- ---

When he hung up, Allen began to look at his surroundings.

Now then, I think everyone reading this right now was wondering where am I currently staying… right?

Now that’s actually a very a good question…

Where was he?

Where did he end up?

Allen had a small gap in his memory. He couldn’t react and felt that he had slept for a long time.

It was still dawn and the light wasn’t too bright either and he couldn’t see around him clearly.

All he knew was that he was on a bed, so he looks around to look for a bedside lamp.

Ba da.

The light switched on as it illuminated the surroundings.

There was an aroma of flower petals in the room.

Although the wall and roof were made from simple wood and timber, it was still a neat and clean room.

Although it was a simple setting, you can still see a Kongming Lamp and several ink paintings hanging on the walls. It could be said that a lot of special attention had been paid to the interior of this house.

And what’s more, it looked like a girl’s room, seeing it neat and proper.

It looked very familiar! Ah!

This is Ye Shishi’s house!

I didn’t care about it before so I completely forgot about it. Things that Allen found not interesting, was always omitted on his memories since it would just be a waste of brain cells, especially like names, places, and events.

But now, Allen finally remembered.

When he was looking for a hotel or a place to stay, Ye Shishi who was following behind him suddenly offered him to stay at her place.

Seeing that he had no Heninbi or whatever currently, he took her up on her offer.

And what’s more, he shamelessly used Ye Shishi’s room while she went and stayed with her mother.

After that, Allen didn't bother with anything, went to her room and climbed into a bed and had fallen asleep, until now.

Oh, so that’s it.

Allen tossed and turned for an hour before deciding to go down to the kitchen and get a glass of water.

He got out of the bed as he realized that he did not have any shoes. There was only a pair of women’s cotton slippers that were placed neatly to the side.

Hm, but they are obviously small…

Sigh, I’ll just wear them.

Allen stepped into the slipper and carefully pushed opened the door. It was certainly a small house as after opening the door he could immediately see the living room.

There was no one in there, but he could hear some noises from the other room, even though it wasn’t too clear.

Kitchen.

The aroma of cooking drifted out.

A figure of Ye Shishi could be seen, busily preparing something inside.

She had already changed out of her dress, which she had been wearing before and was now in a simple getup of a sporting wear. She wore an apron and was also wearing the same type of slippers as Allen.

“Good Morning…”

Ye Shishi, who was busy frying some vegetables was given a start and almost dropped the ladle.

She then turned around to look, seeing Allen, she smiled shyly, “You’re awake la?”

“Yeah, thanks.”

“No la, I’m glad I could be of help…” While saying so, she reached up and switched off the cooker hood, “Did you sleep well?”

Allen nodded with a smile. “I’ve caused you trouble. But I could now contact my friends and they said that they will come and get me after a few days so… I will certainly repay this debt…”

“No, no, it’s fine la. Reply or not, it’s all good la.” Ye Shishi waves her hand sheepishly.

“You don’t need to be so modest, if I say it then that’s it…”

Allen’s stubbornness and frank attitude really made Ye Shishi at a loss of whether to laugh or cry.

She doesn’t know whether Allen was being polite or being forceful.

At the beginning, when she saw Allen, her heart was moved because of his appearance and presence that seemed to be different than normal people. He exudes a very strange aura that either makes you fear him or revere him.

And the moment he came at her, she was at a loss at how she should react. She felt as if she was being drawn to something and because of that, she blanked out and started saying and acting unusually. She even led him to his destination when she was usually wary of strangers.

She couldn’t understand why but she felt security and sense of closeness on him. This is not because she is usually good nature; it’s just that although she does not know why but she felt as if this was a subconscious response.

Perhaps this also because Allen possesses a unique aura - that type of natural aura that makes people think that he isn’t a person in this mortal world.

And then things happened like those on movies, showing powers that anyone could never imagine and battles that seemed out of xianxia and wuxia novels.

What’s more, the hero who saved her and the people in this city; Sun Yueli, the leader of [ Dragon ] actually kneeled in front of him as if he was in front of his master.

He's actually a Da Shen-a!*

It was truly unbelievable!

The man she had met has such background on him, and in addition, he was staying at her house right now!!

What kind of big honor is this?!

This was really unbelievable!

She smiled meaningfully and suddenly muttered to herself, is there a need to be so happy?

“… Are you leaving this place la?” after a long hesitation, Ye Shishi finally gathered all of her courage and ask.

“Yeah.” Allen answered nonchalantly as he sat on the chair while looking at her back.

She doesn’t know why but for some reason, she suddenly feeling uncomfortable. Her heart was restless as if being trampled by a deer.

Ye Shishi felt uneasy.

Why? Why do I feel like this? Bah! Ye Shishi, you this old lady, don’t indulge yourself in flights of fancy!

Shaking her discomfort away, she continued cooking, “Ahm… food’s almost ready la.”

She stirred the ladle and looked at Allen back, smiling, “Actually, if you still hadn’t woken up la, I would have called you anyway.”

 “Is that alright?”

She smiled, “Don’t worry about it la. Hur Hur, please wait a moment.”

Allen then said, “Alright then. I’m really feeling the hunger since I couldn’t eat my fill because of those idiots yesterday.”

He rubbed his belly.

“Hur hur,” Ye Shishi chuckled.
