Chapter 82 Because You Are Here



After surviving the dungeon, Felicia told her father everything that had happened. And her father's reaction when she told him was

"You don't have to lie that far."

"Huh?"

He didn't believe her.

He didn't believe that Wulfgeat had thrown them both into that pit.

But there was no evidence.

There was no possibility that Wulfgeat had succeeded.

"But father, I'm not lying! You heard it from Miss Lavinia, right?"

"Of course I did."

"Then why?!"

"You two are the same. Neither of you told me anything that proves Wulfgeat did that. First, you and Lavinia were both unconscious when it happened; how do you know that Wulfgeat was the one who threw you into the pit?"

"Allen told me that-"

"Allen, right? He told you about it, and Lavinia said the same thing. Why did you trust that kid? He's a former slave whose origins are unclear, whereas Wulfgeat is a respectable noble; there's no way he would do such a thing; he is my personal knight. Besides, you already know that Allen is stronger than Wulfgeat; how could Allen let himself be thrown into the pit? Then how did Wulfgeat control the orcs?"

"Th-that is..."

"You don't know how embarrassed I am for accusing their son, who worked as my personal knight for ten years, of being a traitor simply because he left the town immediately afterward, and you even dispatched our search warriors and sent them to Baron Petley's territory?"

"Father! Believe me, he really throws both of us into that pit!"

"It's not just a matter of believing or disbelieving. Even if I believe that kid's word, we still can't accuse others without evidence."

Reynold held his head, overwhelmed by having to order the other soldiers to bring back the soldiers who had already left.

"Even though I've been busy with the whitmoon festival preparations, you've made such a big deal out of it. Now I have to go directly to the barony territory to apologize, and then I also have to give the apology money. You messed up a lot this time. Get out of here; leave me alone. And get ready with your whitmoon festival preparations."

Felicia could only remain silent, holding back the frustration inside her that her father didn't believe her, and not only that, she was being blamed for what had happened to her. Even though she had just returned home, she once again had to endure the burden and guilt given to her by her father.

"I apologize for my behavior, sir Reynold," Felicia lifted her skirt and then left the room.

She ran out while holding back her tears and frustration.

Rachel stood in front of Reynolds' room door, waiting for Felicia.

"Lady, you don't need to overthink about it. What matters is that you're safe now. Let that guy hang around. We just need to be wary of people like him in the future."

Felicia looked at Rachel, and then she sighed and said

"Rachel, go get my training equipment ready; I want to vent this frustration."

"Yes, my Lady."

...

Inside the Boldenville residence's training ground room, Allen was weightlifting. He thought back to what had happened to him in the dungeon.

"So that was my god's blessing. Strangely, at that time I could feel my entire mana gathering in my brain; then it was like my prayers were suddenly answered and I instantly gained a new power, and for some reason its name also immediately popped into my head. What exactly is a god's blessing? Is there really a god who gives us abilities?

But I don't think I'll be able to use it often. The risk of using it is too big. I have to find a way to use it as efficiently as possible without getting seriously injured," Allen muttered.

Allen then stopped weightlifting and sat down. He walked a little and picked up the sword.

"Maybe I'll try splitting my hand first-"

"Stop!"

Before Allen could cut his hand open, Felicia arrived.

"What are you doing?!" shouted Felicia, who immediately approached.

Without thinking about Felicia, Allen cut his own hand open.

"WHA-"

"aah"

Blood poured out of his severed left wrist.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, YOU IDIOT?!"

Felicia instantly injured her hand, and activated her god's blessing.

Allen's hand on the floor disappeared while his severed hand slowly grew back.

'Hmm? Does it disappear? Is this how turning back time works?' thought Allen.

"Why did you do that?!" shouted Felicia afterward.

"Do you remember in the dungeon? I got the god blessing when I fought with minotaur."

"For real?!"

Allen nodded. "It's just that the payoff was quite big. I had to lose a lot of blood to activate it."

"Blood huh... since blood is part of our body that contains the most mana, it's no wonder that your god's blessing is also related to that-Wait... Don't tell me you cut open your own hand to try to activate it?!"

"Yes, because I'm trying to figure out my own ability mechanism. I don't want to pierce my stomach continuously. But strangely, my god's blessing is not active. Do I have to split even more?"

"ANYONE WOULDN'T SPLIT THEIR HAND TO DO THAT! WHAT IF YOU DIE FROM THAT?!"

"Well... I won't die just because of that."

"Huh?! Where did that confidence come from?! Don't you remember the time you almost died while using this ability of yours?!"

"Because you are here."

"Hmm...?"

"As long as I am together with you, I am sure you would heal me right away."

"WHA-!"

Felicia lowered her head, holding her blushing face, and slowly drew the rapier from her waist.

-SWUNG

She thrust it into Allen's face, and Allen immediately bent his body backward to avoid it.

"What's wrong with you?! Do you want to kill me?!"

"YEAH! No matter how bad your wound is, I'll heal you immediately!" Felicia repeatedly thrust her rapier at Allen, and he always managed to avoid it well.

"Stop it! I can do it myself! If you do that, you'll stab me in the wrong place and hurt like hell!"

"I don't care! I don't care! I don't care!"

Rachel looked at them with a smile and said, "Looks like a lot of things happened in the dungeon. Thank goodness they're trapped in there-" "Wait! What was I thinking?! How can being trapped in a dungeon be a good thing?! Rachel! You shouldn't become a bad maid like that!"

Rachel then left, preparing tea and sweets for Allen and Felicia.

Even after an hour had passed, Felicia couldn't land an attack on Allen until the end. She knew that she never would, but she was still upset. She had come to vent her frustration, but now she was even more upset knowing how weak she was.

"What's going on?" asked Allen, who realized Felicia looked angry and upset.

Felicia sat in the chair Rachel had set up, sipping her tea quickly and irritably.

"Father doesn't believe me about Wulfgeat," said Felicia.

"Oh... never mind; just forget it. In the end, we survived; at least we won't see him again."

"There's no way I can let him run! He really meant to kill me! People like that should get their comeuppance."

'Well...she's right. I'll kill him if we meet again, but I couldn't search for him if I were with Felicia,' Allen thought.

Felicia put down her tea and stood up immediately.

"Allen, hurry up; you should take a bath."

"I haven't finished training yet."

"After this, you should come and learn to dance with me."

"Danc- what?"

"A dance! Tomorrow we will leave for the capital. After the baptism, we will go to the palace to attend the prince's birthday party and dance together."

"Dance?! You mean those stupid moves you used to do in your room alone?!"

"It's not a stupid move! And I'm not alone! I'm with my mentor!"

"Haaah, why would I do that?"

"Because I'd rather dance with you first than with anyone else! I don't want to dance with someone I don't know!"

Actually, Felicia was just scared. When she danced on her 10th birthday, she fell because of her partner's mistake. So she wanted to dance with someone she knew as much as possible. If she danced with Allen, she at least knew what mistakes Allen would make. So she could avoid embarrassment if something happened.

"Alright... but don't blame me if something happens," Allen said with a displeased face.

"Good answer. No problem! You will learn a simple way to follow my step."

Felicia walked away from there, leaving Allen in the room.

Then on the way, she stopped and sat down on the floor.

"Fyuuuuuh..." Felicia let out a long sigh.

"Is there a problem lady?!" asked a worried Rachel.

Felicia shook her head, then stood back up.

'It's a relief that Allen is acting like his usual self. But it's a little annoying too, as if I'm the only one overthinking about what happened yesterday.' Felicia thought as she re-imagined Allen's smiling face hugging her tearfully.

After seeing Felicia come out of that room. Allen looks at his hand and determines,

"Good. Leofric is probably in the capital and will join that party. I will kill him when the party is over."

10 days left before the whitmoon festival begins.
