BXBX NOVEL Chapter 175
Chapter 175: Her true thoughts
Alex spent a whole day thinking about his future.
After deciding on a path, that involved people close to him, Alex decided to build a relationship with people all around the world.
His class was [Husband Of The Deathwill Sisters].
But because of Elias Deathwill’s former status and misdeeds, Alex had mistakenly thought he would have to become the king or someone with many people following him.
In fact, he had [Barracks] in his Deathwill Castle, which would allow him to train people more efficiently.
‘That’s wrong… I am not a man who can be the king,’ Alex whispered, staring at the ceiling in his room.
It was dark. He was in his bed, comfortably lying within blankets. Of course, Sara’s effect still lingered on his body, turning him quite horny as he missed Stella and Sara’s warmth.
Nonetheless, his thoughts allowed him to drift away from those desires.
‘My path will benefit mostly me, my beloveds, and friends. I will make connections and rent the facilities in the Deathwill Castle,’ Alex contemplated gravely.
People such as Remia would always have their own corner in his castle too. Alex believed that their cooperation would fruit in a healthy and loyal relationship. He was sure that all his connections would answer his call should his place need help.
That was exactly what Alex aimed for; friendship.
He didn’t want the royal status to rule over many vassals. He just wanted to have a place that everyone closest to him could benefit from.
‘I have a castle… Not the whole kingdom,’ Alex smiled as those words sounded perfect in his mind, giving him hope and a strong belief in his future plans.
He closed his eyes, going to sleep with a pleasant smile. Strangely enough, Alex dream of an unfamiliar woman with silver-white specks. She had white wings, seemingly flapping without any purpose.
But as she flew around, Alex’s mind followed her, believing that she had been searching for someone.
And who that someone was? Alex couldn’t tell, for he didn’t know the woman’s identity.

“Good morning, Erin,” Alex stood before the treasury’s doors.
From the other side, Erin’s voice made his morning, “Good morning, Master! I’m glad to see you happy and confident. You’ve decided on a new path and goals, haven’t you?”
Alex nodded, “Yes. I would like to get my reward from Remia’s Quest. It’s time to make a proper bonding with the forest fairies.
As you can tell, I’ve decided to build relationships seriously. While my girls hunt the hungry demons, I will slowly try to do them both. I think I will be able to do it smoothly with Stella by my side.”
Erin grinned, “If Miss Stella flaps her wings, Master won’t need any carriage to move from kingdom to kingdom.
Demi-humans will find Master more pleasing to an eye too. That’s the effect of the winged girl and Master’s new bloodline…” Erin explained.
To her words, Alex had absolutely nothing to add. She was right.
From the treasury’s doors, the golden light shone. That golden light turned into a small present, tightly wrapped in a red ribbon. In that present, Alex’s reward for successfully completing the quest log was waiting for him.
Alex inwardly thought, ‘For such a selfish person, you’ve set up your class well, Elias Deathwill… But what if you actually didn’t know how it would end up? What if you didn’t know how the system would categorize those quests and reward me?
You were and are a battle maniac, thinking only of the swordsmanship,’ Alex’s eyes widened as he felt sudden enlightenment.
He took his eyes off the present, looking at the doors, “Erin. Has Elias Deathwill left his main sword in the treasury?”
“No,” Erin replied immediately, “I can’t exclude the possibility of him hiding the sword here, Master… But if he has second thoughts and gets the idea of trying to snatch Master’s rewards, then I will repel him.”
Alex felt her genuine emotions as if he had Stella’s inborn ability. That lasted just for a second, making him smile.
He titled his head, “What do you really think of me? As a girl, not my spirit.”
Erin took some seconds to collect her thoughts. Afterward, her voice slipped into Alex’s mind, not letting anyone hear her genuine thoughts.
[To explain my thoughts properly, I have to tell you what I know about Elias Deathwill. For an unknown amount of time, I had been locked in a place as a spirit. My mind had been filled with many memorials about swordsmanships from various continents and realms. I was like a sponge, absorbing all swordsmanships.
I could teach Master some of them, but I, unfortunately, can not leave this treasury yet. I have a limit on myself too, and I can’t pass what I’ve learned for Master… But for all those years, I’ve seen Elias Deathwill a few times at most.
My opinion of him is high. That’s because he could gather all those memorials for me. In this way, I learned how to speak and read. I learned about the vast world too… All of them hail from different lives and experiences. That’s exactly why I don’t really care about Elias Deathwill, and him being my creator doesn’t affect my opinion of Master.
Since the beginning, I’ve been looking at you so I can tell… I can tell that Master would never treat me in the same way. You wouldn’t stuff my mind with swordsmanship memorials. You would take me to the lands and have me practice them in person. You would take care of me and my feelings.
You are different from Elias Deathwill… You are a man I want to serve and follow from the bottom of my heart.
One day, I might shed all Elias Deathwill’s shackles from me. If such a day happens, I hope to stay behind you, wearing maid clothes to serve you like a maid should.]
“Do you think of yourself… as a weapon?” Alex asked; his voice was soft.
Erin laughed, “I haven’t had those thoughts at all after you became my Master.”
Alex smiled, relieved from the bottom of his heart, “I’ve learned about your origins quite prematurely, I believe. Nonetheless, I will continue moving forward. One day, I will help you fulfill all your wishes.”
Alex would’ve lost Celia and Sara if it weren’t for her. He was serious about Erin and their friendship.
On the other side, Erin blushed, her face as red as a tomato, “I look forward to Master fulfilling all my wishes, then.”
“Me too,” Alex grinned, completely clueless, for whatever reasons.
