Chapter 156

After eating breakfast, Zach was sitting on the couch with his head drooped in his hands. And Aurora and sitting beside him, seemingly trying to comfort him.

The reason behind that was Aria.

After what happened in the bathroom a while ago, Aria didn’t talk to Zach. Even when she came to eat breakfast, she only talked with Aurora and ignored Zach even when he tried to talk to her. And after eating breakfast, Aria locked herself in her room.

Of course, she wasn’t angry or anything. She was simply too embarrassed to look at Zach’s face.

"Why are you acting like you got dumped by her?" Aurora remarked. "She is just embarrassed."

"..."

"She even said it herself."

"..."

"Come on. How long are you going to stay like this?"

"..."

Aurora was getting worried because Zach’s condition was worse than she had initially expected.

However, she was mistaken. Zach was actually worried about something else. Sure, he was feeling a little guilty about Aria’s case.

Aurora placed her hand on Zach’s shoulder and stared at him with a concerned and anxious look on her face.

"I am sorry..." she said.

Zach finally reacted and glanced at Aurora with a confused look on his face. "Why are you apologizing?" he asked.

"Well... I told you I was going to take a bath, but Aria was there, so I went to the kitchen to make breakfast." Aurora averted her gaze a little and said, "And... I kind of... saw you going to the bathroom and didn’t stop you because I thought it would be funny to see what happens afterward."

"I never expected this from you," Zach remarked. "But it’s fine. I am not worried about that."

"You are not? Then why are you acting all serious?!" she yelled.

"I was just planning our next... well, plan. We are going on the dungeon raid with Victoria and her guild tomorrow. And you will probably reach level 25 there, and even your physique will be boosted because we will be in the guild," Zach asserted.

"And after that?" Aurora asked with a curious look on her face.

"Victoria will be leaving the guild after the raid and joining our party," Zach informed.

"And then we will ascend together?" Aurora guessed.

Zach nodded and said, "We are still in the early stage of the first realm." After a brief pause, he said, "I am looking forward to fighting the realm boss on the third stage of the first realm."

"There is boss, tower boss, dungeon boss, secret boss, world boss, and Realm boss, which is the strongest, right?" Aurora asked. "Do you think we can win against something that strong?"

"The realm boss would probably be an angel," Zach stated. "And as we ascend to the high realms and meet more realm bosses, they will get stronger. For angels to archangels, to gods."

Zach clenched his fists and said, "And once we have cleared all realms and defeated the bosses, a.k.a the gods, we will be free."

"I wonder if the gods are going to use their godly powers..." Aurora murmured.

"Of course, they will," Zach sighed with a scoff.

"But how can we win against them?"

Zach squinted his eyes at Aurora and said, "Did you forget this handsome person sitting in front of you is also a god?"

Aurora chuckled and said, "I have faith in you, and I know you will defeat the other gods. But I am not as strong as you."

"Says who?" Zach asked with a judging look on his face.

"You know..." Aurora bit her lips and uttered, "Sometimes, I think I am slowing you down. Like I am hindering your development. If you play alone or with Aria, I am sure you two can ascend one realm every week."

Aurora looked sad when she said that, and her voice was proof of it.

Zach knew Aurora would say that one day, so he had come up with some nice comebacks for that.

Zach pulled Aurora close to him and sat her on his lap. They were facing face to face, and Aurora’s soft thighs were rubbing Zach’s thighs.

He placed his hands on her shoulder and said, "Look at me."

Aurora looked up at Zach’s face with somewhat teary eyes. It was as though she was trying her best not to cry but couldn’t do it.

"You are a princess, right?" Zach asked Aurora.

Aurora nodded in response without saying anything.

"And I am your knight, right?"

Aurora nodded again.

"I honestly don’t know much about the knight-ness or whatever it’s called, but one thing I know which can be just a common sense, and that is ’If you love someone, you protect them.’ That’s a rule of thumb," Zach said in a calm voice.

"Being with you and spending my time with you makes me feel alive. It keeps me from turning into something hideous. You are like a knight to me," Zach added. "And you are protecting me from... myself."

Aurora bumped her head on Zach’s forehead and kissed him on the lips before saying, "I don’t understand what you were trying to say. But thanks for your kind words. I will try my best to stay by your idea rather than wasting my time worrying about it."

After several kisses and staying like that for a while, Aurora got off from Zach’s lap and said, "I wanted to summon the magic shop for a while now. So... I will summon it and buy something useful."

"I am sure that you could summon the magic shop in the Sea Realm, too," Zach commented.

"Really?!" Aurora exclaimed.

"Yea," Zach nodded. "I am like... 99.69% sure about it."

Aurora stood up and summoned the magic shop. And as expected, a portal appeared in front of Aurora and Zach.

’I also have to ask Xie Lua about the potions,’ Zach thought.

"I will come with you," Zach stated.

"Umm... can two players enter the same portal?" Aurora wondered with a confused yet curious look on his face.

Zach shrugged and said, "I have no idea, but let’s try it."
