Chapter 23: CHAPTER 23: Could you really move his heart?
"Yes, I didn't become a slave to revenge, it's all because of his redemption."
Alpha's cheeks turned slightly red.
Showing an adorable smile.
Normally she always behaves like a calm and reliable elite, but when it comes to topics related to Leon, she turns into a simple fangirl.
(He saved not only my body, but also my heart. Without Leon, I would have been broken.)
Just imagining her own IF route as an emo Avenger, Alpha couldn't help but feel a shiver.
Her life would be really scary.
Just one step makes a big difference.
She felt more and more grateful to Leon.
She was given a new name so that she could free herself from the despair of the past.
She was given a new mission, allowing her to find a purpose to move forward and free herself from her confusion.
There is also a new house.
The girls who also suffered from [Demonic Possession] who were abandoned as Alpha gathered together by creating [Night Raid], which became the new home for the girls after losing their homes.
Before she completely fell into the lowest level of despair, the handsome golden-eyed prince pulled her back into the light.
"I really don't know how to thank Leon. I won't be able to repay his kindness with my life."
"What a sinful man... No, it's too early to call this boy a man."
CC couldn't help but complain when she saw Alpha's expression, like the innocent girl who was starting to have feelings for Leon.
(Speaking of which, if he was so popular when he was young, will he still be popular when he grows up? Wow, he's going to be a huge scoundrel.)
The witch knows that currently all the members of [Night Raid] are girls.
And they all long for Leon, who gave them salvation.
But if you insist on saying that.
This yearning is the key to saving the girls. Instead of hatred for the cult of Diablos, Leon himself has become the pillar that supports their hearts.
Especially for the seven girls who were healed by Leon himself, especially Alpha.
(Ahhh~ It seems like there is no hope, she is already completely dependent on him.)
CC looked at Alpha dumbfounded. As a witch who had lived for a long time, how could she not see the elf girl's condition with her eyes?
It's completely useless.
This person became her spiritual support. Not even love can be described. It is an additional spiritual dependence.
(Damn... Today's pizza doesn't seem to taste very good. Could it be that the ingredients are bad?)
CC suddenly felt a sense of irritation. Looking at the red-cheeked elf in front of her, she frowned slightly and spoke without knowing why.
"Alpha, of course it's okay if you just follow Leon, but... Don't fall in love with him. This is the witch's advice to you."
"Eh? What's the meaning of that?"
Alpha couldn't help but be stunned. Whether it was genuine kindness or joking, the witch's advice made her instinctively unhappy. Why couldn't she fall in love with that person?
Alpha: (I, I haven't fallen in love yet, I'm just curious... Well, that's it.)
Although CC appears to be only 17 years old, she is like a traveler who has been wandering for a long time and has experienced countless experiences.
No, it should be more than that!
Travelers just wander through different cities, while she wandered through history, losses that settled into the endless years brought by her immortality.
This woman of incomparable appearance, managed to resist the [wear and tear] brought by time.
Those eyes that seemed uninterested in anything always contained endless sadness and loneliness.
It was as if she had seen so many tragedies that sadness solidified in her eyes.
What such a person says will make people feel inexplicably right, so Alpha feels that she must ask clearly.
"Why can't I fall in love with him?"
"Because you won't be able to move his heart."
"Move?!"
The witch looked away and said as if she was mocking something.
"Don't you think that's unfair? His every move can touch your heart, a compliment can make you happy all day, a smile can make your heart flutter, and a touch can make you almost faint."
"..."
CC walked up to Alpha.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and pointed her finger at the elf girl's heart. What the witch said were facts that Alpha could not refute.
"But what about you? Can you make Leon's heart beat faster? That man's heart is harder than a stone. You saw his willpower with your own eyes, didn't you?"
The witch looked directly into the elf's eyes.
The question left Alpha extremely shaken.
"Alpha, do you have the confidence to make Leon fall in love with you?"
"..."
The answer is no.
No way!
Alpha is very confident about her appearance, but if she lacks confidence, Leon will be moved by her. Will he really like her?
She was just one of the girls he picked up, and she was in the position of an admirer, the one he looked up to, so it was impossible to have trust.
The elf lowered her head with a complicated expression, clenched her fists and, after a few seconds of silence, spoke as if she had realized something.
"It doesn't matter."
"oh?"
"I've already received so much from him, including knowledge, power, name and a place to stay. At this point, I can't ask for more. All I can do... is try my best to repay what he's done for me." "
"Even if he doesn't like me...no, that doesn't matter either! My feelings don't need to be reciprocated, and I can't ask him to reciprocate."
CC's eyes widened slightly.
She didn't expect Alpha to be so aware.
Total dedication without expecting anything in return is very touching.
But thinking about it at such a young age is really embarrassing.
"I think you'd better be more greedy Alpha. Anyway, that boy really likes his own people. You might end up being one of his wives in the future."
"Really, really?!"
"Damn, pretend I didn't say that."
CC felt her eyes twitch.
Is it really acceptable to be so humble?
From the witch's perspective, it's easy to see that she will definitely be a stunning beauty who will captivate the entire country in the future, but in the end, she is content with being just one of several wives.
(Eh~ A wise person never falls in love... I don't think anyone is more qualified to say that than me. Damn, it feels like I'm mocking myself when I say that.)
Recalling her past, the immortal witch smiled sadly.
