Transmigrated as a Ghost

Chapter 295 - 295 (Hidden, Title At The Bottom Of The )

Seeing the resigned expression on Mrazivý's face, Marcus grabbed her by the shoulders and brought her face close to his and said, "I do not care what you say. I am going to help you out no matter what, and there is nothing you can do about it. I do not care if I have to work in the forges like a slave, or risk life and limb killing dangerous beasts. I am not going to let you fall into to despair so snap out of it."

Marcus then released Mrazivý's shoulders and slapped her in the face.

He could not bear to see the depressed look on her face, especially when she was normally quite happy and proud.

Reaching her hand up to her face Mrazivý touched her red and tender cheek slowly as if she could not believe what had happened was real.

No one had ever slapped her before and the sting on her cheek made her begin to get angry.

See then looked at Marcus with fury in her eyes, stood up, and started shouting at him.

"What gives you the right to force your help on me. I can take care of myself, and I do not need you to fix all of my problems. Why are you always trying to protect me, huh? You descended into a dungeon to save me someone you had barely known at the time. And now you are trying to save me from marrying Marquis Krenston's son. Is there some end game you are playing here? You are a monster right, so maybe I am just a part of whatever plot you have been cooking up." 

With her rage being unleashed Mrazivý was going off on Marcus, she just wanted him to stop trying to give her hope or find away to fix the situation.

She had already lost, and it was time to give up, and the sooner she did that the easier it would be for her to move on.

She would rather give into despair than feel the horrible pain that came with hope. She did not want to spend the rest of her life hoping that things would get better when they never would.

Yet here was Marcus trying to make her live with the pain that she wished to discard along with her hope.

"MRAZIVÝ!" Marcus yelled to get her attention and to quite her down.

"There is no greater plot, no monstrous reason that I went to help you out when you went missing in the Ocean Bluff Temple. I cannot say that I did it for wholly magnanimous reasons. I certainly thought it would be nice to have a princess as an ally. I also did it because you were Wade's cousin, but most importantly because I thought you were a nice person."

Marcus then gave Mrazivý a few moments to digest what he had just said before saying, "And remember I told you I used to be human, but I did not tell you everything. This is not my original world. I died on a far of planet called Earth and then got transmigrated here as a ghost. I still hold all of the emotions and memories I had before dying, and I maybe a ghost now, but at the end of the day I would still be the same no matter what race I ended up."

After saying that Marcus was about to continue when with a look of astonishment Mrazivý said, "Wait you are one of the legendary transmigrations!"

With this new fact dropped on her from out of nowhere, Mrazivý attention was immediately drawn towards it.

She was very interested in the people that came from another world since she had heard many stories about her ancestor Boreas who was said to also be from a place called Earth.

In fact, it was these stories that had originally made her want to go out on an adventure of her own, and even though her father had been against it at first and took much convincing, she had managed to become an adventurer.

"I would not say legendary but yeah I did come from another world. But that does not really matter, I just wanted to get my last secret off my chest and to convince you once and for all that I have no nasty intentions because I ended up as a monster. I trust you Mrazivý now would you just let me to help you?"

With Marcus steering the topic back to Mrazivý's impending forced marriage, the elation she had felt a moment ago to find out that Marcus was from another world, quickly disappeared and the cold feeling in her chest returned.

"Why are you willing to go this far for me? Even if I ended up as Marquis Krenston's son's wife, we would still be friends and be able to see each other every now and then. I may have to deal with beginning married to someone vile and repulsive that I hate, but I am still a princess, I can take care of myself even if I am a bit miserable. Why is it so important to you that you help me escape from my fate?" 

Standing up from the couch and facing Mrazivý, Marcus could feel his chest pounding even though he did not have a physical heart and said, "There are two reasons. One I cannot bear to see that gloomy look on your face, when you normally have such a bright smile. And the second is because I have grown far too fond of you to let anyone else have you without a fight."

After saying that Marcus pulled Mrazivý close to him and kissed her.

He had realized his feelings for her when he saw her being beaten and toyed with by Wyatt. His chest had begun to feel heavy and a rage like no other had told him to jump in and destroy the person hurting her.

And if it had not been for the overwhelming presence that had stopped him, he surely would have done so.

However, after the fact when Marcus thought about it, and he knew what the feeling he had experienced was.

He had felt it before in his first life when he was still together with his girlfriend in college.

Unfortunately, they grew apart as they went their separate ways to pursue their dreams, but Marcus would never forget the feeling of his first love and knew that he was feeling the same now.

Marcus continued to kiss Mrazivý conveying his feelings to her, and for a moment after the shock had worn off, she kissed him back caught up in the moment, before coming back to her senses and pushing him away.

"No, I can't. I am going to be married to someone else. Please just stop trying to give me hope."

Tear began flowing down Mrazivý's face once again as a turmoil of emotions began to fight inside her.

"Oh, I see. I thought you said you would rather marry a goblin than Krenston's son, but I guess that I must be even worse." Marcus said as he shrugged his shoulders trying to lighten the mood.

"No, it is not that, I just…"

However, Mrazivý found herself at a lost for words as her mind was racing all over the place trying to figure out what to do, while Marcus decided now was the time to deliver the final blow.

"Mraz, I have fallen for you, and even if you do not want anything to do with me, I will do whatever I can to make sure you are happy."

Marcus then held out his hand to Mrazivý and said, "Now, do you trust me."
