Chapter 49 I Want To Become Strong Too

"Tell me, what happened? Is father alright?" Max urged.

Esther looked at him and said, "Yes, he is fine. We just received his message that the team to hunt three-starred beasts had formed but there are only a few three-star mages in the team and judging from the reports on Beast tide there are more than a dozen three-starred beast in the magical forest."

She paused and looked toward Amelia, who seemed too worried, and continued "So we are slightly worried even though we know that nothing would happen to your father as he is also a very powerful three-star mage."

"Ohh! This is the case." Max let out a sigh of relief.

He then looked at them and smiled beautifully. "Don't worry, father is indeed very strong. He can handle those beasts easily with other mages, and there is less chance of them encountering all the beasts at the same time. Even if they did, they can just retreat. You guys don't have to worry so much." He tried to ease their worries.

"Mhm... You are right." Esther and Mina nodded and looked at Amelia who was the most worried and talked to her to relieve some of her tension.

After talking to them for a few minutes, more, Max came out of their room. He wanted to talk to his father, but he still haven't returned. However Esther told him that, before going into the forest to hunt, he will come home first. So Max decided he would talk to him then.

When he returned to his room, he saw Lilly sitting on the bed. She was wearing a purple coloured one-piece dress which was clinging to her body on the chest and hips but covered her completely, barely showing any skin, Making her look even more charming. Max stared at her, pleasantly surprised. Although he knew that Lilly was beautiful, he didn't expect her to look so much more beautiful in different clothes. He patted himself inwardly for buying her these. Her current beauty could easily make any man fall in love with her.

When Lilly saw him entering the room, she stood up with her head down. She blushed when Max kept staring at her, but she felt good in her heart. Any girl would feel good when the one she loves looks at her like that, and Lilly was no exception.

She looked up when she remembered how worried she was when she returned to his room and saw him passed out with small injuries all over his body. She asked sternly, or she tried, "Wh-Where did you get those injuries? I was so worried when you didn't wake up even in the morni..."

She couldn't complete her sentence when Max walked up to her and embraced her. Her mind went blank being embraced by him so suddenly, but she quickly came to her senses and pushed him away.

She rebuked in a soft voice, "I'm asking something. Why do you have to worry me like this? I was so worried when I couldn't find you anywhere in the mansion and found you here passed out, injured." Her eyes teared up.

Max felt bad seeing her worry like this, but at the same time, he felt good that she genuinely cared about him.

He cupped her face lovingly and said as he looked her into the eyes, "I'm sorry for worrying you." He apologised and then explained to her what had happened.

"Remember the ring I bought from that merchant. It turned out that it was a legacy item. It suddenly teleported me to the legacy ground. There..."

***

After listening to him, she stared at him in awe. She knew a little about the powerful beings such as Kings, Emperors and Monarchs. Max had told her occasionally when he spent his time studying. She knew that they were almost godlike beings and The strongest ruler of their kingdom was only a King ranked mage who established the green leaf kingdom.

Now the man she loved has received the legacy from a powerful being like the crimson Emperor. Naturally, She was happy, so happy that she couldn't speak, but at the same time, she felt worry growing in her heart.

Now that Max has already become a two-star mage at such a young age and inherited the legacy from an Emperor ranked mage, he would no doubt become more powerful in future, and many women would try to court him. _?

Although she already knew that he would have more women beside her and he had promised her that she would be his Main wife, she was still worried. Worried about the fact that she was weak and might continue being weak and become a burden on him and won't be able to accompany him in his future adventures, which would undoubtedly be dangerous. Some strong woman might take his heart, and he would no longer love her.

Lilly shook her head and suddenly slapped her cheeks and thought 'No, I will also become strong so that I will be with him always and won't let anyone steal him from me.'

Max was dumbfounded by the sudden change in her behaviour and asked, "What happened? Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm happy that you had such a fortunate encounter." After saying this, she suddenly put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips.

Max felt odd because he could feel that she was worried about something but didn't think more and kissed her tasty lips back.

When Max was getting into the mood, Lilly suddenly broke the kiss and said while looking at him, "I don't want to be left behind. I want to become strong too so that I can accompany you always."

He was momentarily stunned and then smiled when he saw the determination in her eyes. "Oh, Okay. Come with me then." Max grabbed her hand and crossed his fingers with hers as he led her out of the room.

She didn't resist and let him drag her with him. She had made resolve in her heart to face reality.

Max led her towards the library. Many maids and guards saw them and started whispering among themselves.

"Who is that lady with the young master? She is too beautiful."

"It seems young master has found himself a good lady."

"But why does she looks familiar? It seems I've seen her somewhere."

"Hey, isn't that Lilly? Young master's personal maid."

"Yeah, she is. I didn't think she would be so cunning and make her move on the young master."

"Yeah, you are right. I heard she started living with him in his room recently."

"Her life is set now. Young master isn't like before. He has become a two-star mage at such a young age. Maybe I should also try my luck on him."

"You? Have you seen your face in the mirror? He won't even give you a second look. Hehe."

"..."

Some maids recognised Lilly and started gossiping. Some started defame her while some became jealous of her.

Lilly bit her lower lip hard that it started bleeding, and her eyes became wet. She tightened her grip on his hand to feel his warmth.

Max suddenly stopped in his tracks when he felt her hand tremble and looked toward the maids who were badmouthing her and said coldly, "Don't you have anything else to do? She is my woman, and if I hear any of you talking bad about her, I'll kill you." His eyes burned with flames, and the temperature around him started to rise.

"I'm sorry young master. Forgive us." Every maid felt scared under his cold gaze and hurriedly apologised and went away.
