Binding System



'Why can't I find a safe place?'

Ace was currently looking for a safe place to treat Lieutenant Valeria's wounds.

Like before, he was flying while carrying her in a princess style. It had been five minutes since he looked for a safe place, but he found none.

This was the reason why he wore a worried face because he had to treat her injuries immediately.

'Should I just treat her wounds in this place?'

He immediately shook his head.

'No. This place is dangerous because there is a high possibility of us being attacked by magical beasts or bad people.'

He flew higher before finally standing on top of a tree.

'Is there really no cave or abandoned house in this area?'

He swept his gaze around.

Lieutenant Valeria, who was in his arms, looked at him.

'Why is he wearing such an expression? Is he worrying about my wound?' 

Even though she was heavily injured, for some reason, she did not feel any pain.

'It seems like he really cares about me.'

She did not know why, but she felt a surge of happiness.

When Ace noticed that she was looking at him, his lips curled up into a soft smile. "Don't worry. We will find a safe place immediately."

'I hope there is a cave or abandoned house around here.'

He added in his head.

"Un." Lieutenant Valeria nodded her head.

Ace swept his gaze around again.

'There! There is a cave in that place.'

Ace wasted no time and flew to the West.

When he was close to the cave, he created two clones to check whether the cave was safe or not.

He did not want to make a single mistake, so he ordered his clones to step into the cave first.

'Good!'

He landed on the ground slowly after his clones signaled that the cave was safe to occupy. 

"Go catch some fish." Ace said as he walked past his two clones.

His clones nodded their heads before finally flying toward the river.

After stepping into the cave, Ace put Lieutenant Valeria on a stone platform. "Lieutenant Valeria, I will treat your wounds now."

"Un." She nodded her head.

Even though she had drunk the Vital of Redemption potion, they still needed to treat her external wounds because that potion was only for internal injuries. 

Otherwise, it would take a long time for the wounds to heal, and it would also leave scars afterward.

This was the reason why Ace wanted to treat her wounds immediately.

'Luckily, I bought many medicines a few days ago.'

He retrieved a jade bottle from his space ring before finally putting it on a stone platform.

"Can you take off your armor by yourself? Or do you need my help?" he did not remove her lethal armor instantly because it was an inappropriate act.

"Please help me take off my armor." Her arms were injured, so she could not remove her armor by herself.

She even could not move her hands freely because she felt pain whenever she moved them.

That was why she needed his help to take off her armor.

"Please excuse me." He took off her armor carefully before finally putting them on a stone platform. "This medicine will make you feel a little pain. Please endure it."

"Un." She nodded her head again.

Ace began to apply the medicine to her wounds.

He did it carefully, hoping it would lessen the pain when he applied it.

As Ace was treating her wounds, Lieutenant Valeria stared at him intently. 

'He is treating my wounds carefully.'

A tiny smile arose on her pretty face when she saw his serious expression.

Maybe because the medicine was not strong enough to make her feel pain, or perhaps because she was looking at Ace's handsome face and her mind was full of him, but at that time, she did not feel any pain.

She only felt the medicinal powder on her wounds, nothing more than that.

She even did not know what was going on.

It was as if her arms were not injured.

When Ace noticed what she was doing, he inquired, "Does it hurt?"

"No." she shook her head.

He smiled at her before treating the wounds on her arms.

Like before, Lieutenant Valeria looked at him again. 

She did not know what was going on, but at that time, she could not take her eyes off his handsome face.

It was as if there was a magnet between her eyes and his face.

'What's wrong with me? Is it because this is the first time a man has treated my wound? Or was it because he saved me earlier?'

A feeling that she could not describe in words suddenly appeared in her heart. 

'This is not love, right?'

She did not want to admit that she fell in love so easily like that.

Sure, Ace was a good-looking young man, but she had seen many handsome people before.

This was the reason why she believed it was not love because good looks alone would not be able to melt her heart.

'Maybe it's because he is treating my injuries.'

She decided not to think about it anymore because it would make everything complicated later.

[God of Wind utters, another woman falls in love with him.]

[God of Wind sighs.]

[God of Mountain inquires, isn't it too easy for her to fall for him?]

[God of Sea asks, is it the power of the chosen one?]

[God of Lust laughs loudly.]

[God of Lust utters, didn't I say he was transmigrated to this world to take all the beauties and bed them? Haha.]

[Several divine beings look at the God of Lust.]

Ace did not pay attention to the notifications because he focused on treating Lieutenant Valeria's wounds.

"Done!" he said after bandaging her arms.

Lieutenant Valeria looked at her arms.

"Lieutenant Valeria, about the wounds on your stomach and thighs, it's…" he did not know what to say.

Treating the wound on her arms was fine because anyone was allowed to do that.

However, it was a different story for treating the wounds on the stomach and thighs because not everyone could touch these areas.

Ace did not want her to think that he wanted to take advantage of the situation to see her body or touch it.

But on the other side, they had to treat her wounds immediately because her injuries could get worse if it was not treated immediately.

This was the reason why he was in a difficult situation and had no idea what to do.

Of course, it would be a different story if she was Scarlett because they were a couple, and he had seen every inch of her body.

The problem was that he didn't have a close relationship with Lieutenant Valeria. He even only knew her for two months and talked with her a few times.

He was afraid that she would get the wrong idea if he said he wanted to treat the wounds on her stomach and thighs.

Even though Ace did not finish his words, Lieutenant Valeria understood everything. 

She knew what he wanted to say.

At this moment, she wavered whether she should let him treat the wounds on her stomach and thighs or not.

Ace was a male and was not her lover or family, so she did not want to show her stomach and thighs to him.

However, she could not treat the wounds on her stomach and tights by herself because her hands were injured.

'What should I do now?'

Of course, she knew the consequences if she did not treat her wounds.

'Should I ask him to close his eyes?'

She immediately discarded the idea because he would not be able to treat her injuries if he closed his eyes.

After thinking for several seconds, she uttered, "Ace, can you promise me something?" 

"What is it?" he wanted to hear it first before deciding it.

"Can you promise not to tell anyone about this later? It's because…" she could not finish her words because she could not find the right words.

"Sure. I won't tell anyone about what happened in this cave." At that moment, Ace thought she wanted to maintain her image.

She was a lieutenant and one of the beauties in Nighshire City, so it would ruin her image if someone knew what had happened in the cave.

Lieutenant Valeria was pleased after hearing his words. "Promise?"

"I promise." He responded, "I promise we are the only ones who know what happened in this cave."

Her face blossomed into a smile. "Thank you, Ace."

[God of Wind utters, but we can see you guys from here.]

[God of Mountain adds, that's right.]

[God of Sea utters, she can't see us or talk to us, so she thinks we don't know what they will do in the cave.]

[God of Mountain speaks, should we tell her that we are watching her?]

Ace, who was reading the notifications, wanted to tell them to shut up.

'System, is there a way to stop them from watching us for a few minutes?'

He wanted to protect Lieutenant Valeria's dignity, so he wanted to know if he could block their view for a few minutes or not.

[Current level does not support that feature, Host.]

Ace was disappointed, but he could not do anything about it.

"Then please help me treat the wounds on my stomach and thighs." Even though she was nervous, she tried her best to hide it.

Ace had promised to keep everything a secret, so it should be fine.

Yes, it should be fine.

"Then, I will treat your wounds now." Ace spoke.
