Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 451 - Calm Down!

Chapter 451: Calm Down!

'Won't own her anymore?'

'Be free of him?'

The two sentences Morgana uttered had instantly brought a headache to Emery.

Could what she talked about be what was the time where they first met and he defeated her?

The Fey sisters once told Emery that the defeated would have to follow the winner. Something about a pact that needed to be adhered to. However, never in Emery's wildest dreams did he imagine this something was this serious. He never thought and would never think so.

A sigh of helplessness escaped from Emery as he looked directly in Morgana's eyes.

"Morgana, I... I don't own you." Seeing the confused look on her face, he added, "You don't belong to anyone, but yourself. So, no. You're not mine."

Morgana swiftly became emotional once again when she heard Emery's words. This time, there wasn't even the slightest bit of hesitation as she swung her claws downwards.

However, Emery quickly caught them, grabbed her waist and took her away as their bodies rolled on the ground. Suddenly, their positions had shifted, where Emery was on top of Morgana, holding her.

As she struggled, the red-haired girl screamed her lungs out.

"Get off me!! Let go of me!!"

Unfortunately, Morgana's efforts were in vain, as Emery's grip on her was so tight and he definitely outstrength her.

"Calm down, Morgana! I will let go if you calm down!"

But the more Emery tried to restrain her, the more she screamed like a wild beast.

It took a few seconds before she finally calmed down. Her eyes met with Emery's, and she stopped her struggle. Complete silence fell between them as they faced each other. The only thing they could hear was each other breath.

Seconds later, Morgana cancelled her transformation, which promptly made Emery loosen his grip on her as it looked like she no longer wanted to fight.

At this moment, both Emery and Morgana came into the realization of the situation they got themself in.

The bodies of the two of them were basically pressed against each other, which meant they could clearly feel their sensations against each other. Emery watched Morgana's face gradually blush and she looked away from him.

Not wanting to make the situation more awkward, Emery quickly got up to his feet, which was then followed by Morgana. As soon as they faced each other again, Morgana instantly turned her body and tried to leave.

Seeing that, Emery quickly opened his mouth lest this matter wouldn't be resolved today.

"Tell me! Why do you want to be free of me?"

The sentence managed to make Morgana come into a halt.

Emery added, "Is it because of Gwen? Do you not like it when I... am close to her?"

Hearing this, Morgana took a step forward, about to leave. But then, she suddenly stopped and turned around. With eyes glaring at Emery, but with a very light tone that seemed forced, Morgana said,

"Do… you... like her…?"

Emery looked straight into her eyes and answered the question directly. "Yes, I do…"

He was about to explain more when Morgana interrupted him.

"Then… What… about... me?"

With this question coming from Morgana, it appeared the beautiful girl in front of him has feelings for him. It seemed what Gwen said was true: Emery was very dense.

Emery had been around Morgana for quite some time and he still didn't catch the latter's feelings. What was worse, the Fey wolf genes inside him even gave him the capability of knowing her feelings!

Then, it hit him. Those warm feelings he felt from Morgana all this time were her liking him.

Seeing Emery wasn't responding, Morgana asked again. This time, with a heavier tone.

"What about me?!"

"Yes. I like you… but Morgana... You are like a sister to me."

Emery could clearly see Morgana's expression gradually morphed into that of anger. Her eyes suddenly turned watery and she looked away while saying, "I… can't..."

The next moment, Morgana wordlessly yanked off the blank bandana that tied her long red hair. Her hair swiftly unfurled and soon became a mess because of the wind. Her appearance had the resemblance of her the first time they met.

Morgana silently held the blank bandana in her hand and appeared to think deeply about it before she threw it right in front of Emery.

Looking at the black bandana that lay quietly on the ground, Emery remembered. This was the item he bought for her from Venta Town's market - the time she came out of the Forbidden Forest for the first time.

Emery quickly picked up the bandana. When he looked at the red-haired girl, he found the latter's face had changed as if she was in pain.

"I want you… to release me!" said Morgana, loudly.

Emery was confused. "What do you mean?"

At the moment, Emery wondered if Morgana was talking about the pact again. He didn't understand, but he became worried when he saw the pain had turned into tears. The girl who always seemed so though looked away from him with tears running down her cheek

"I don't understand what you mean, Morgana! Tell me what's going on?"

Emery tried to approach her, but she became enraged once more.

"No! Stay… away! I… can't stay here... don't you dare follow me!"

Morgana transformed into her Fey complete transformation and dashed into the woods, disappearing amidst the trees.

When Morgana left, Emery just realized his whole body was burning, as if it wanted to fully transform and chase after her. However, his feet refused to move.

He couldn't.

He shouldn't.

A while later, the sisters came to Emery. They told him that he needn't worry as they would follow her and It might be better if Emery gave her some time.

Knowing what they said was true, Emery could only nod his head dejectedly.

With a heavy heart, Emery casted [Spatial Gate] and went into the Khaos space.
