Chapter 17 I Am A Peace-Loving Man.
‘This sick bastard…!’
Vaan couldn’t help but curse in his head as he recalled this particular memory. He had done his fair share of evil deeds in his past life, however, doing something like that to someone who came to him with such innocent, pure, and jolly eyes…
Just what kind of sadistic bastard was he?
Vaan questioned inwardly.
His eyes then fell on the little fairy who seemed to be fearful of him and didn’t know how to react.
In the end,
He just bowed his head,
“I apologize for what I did to you in the past. I am deeply ashamed of my actions.”
He wasn’t sure if this little fairy can understand what he was saying or not, however, somewhere in his mind, Vaan felt like she could understand his words.
Vaan glanced at the fairy, the fairy was now looking at him with a curious but doubtful look on her face.
Unconsciously, Vaan moved his index finger close to the little fairy again, this time, however, he did it very slowly. He could feel the fairy’s body tensing up the closer his finger got to her, however, he could also feel that the fairy was trying to trust his words and was doing her best to not move away in fear.
Yes, the fairy could understand his words.
Vaan was sure about this.
Soon, his finger was within the fairy’s reach. Vaan didn’t move it too close to her face in order to prevent her from panicking.
The fairy continued to stare at his finger with a cautious look on her face.
Seeing that the finger had stopped right in front of her, the fairy stopped as well.
Her big bright eyes fell on Vaan, Vaan smiled as he nodded with a reassuring look on his face,
“I will not hurt you ever again, please give me another chance.
I wish to be your friend.”
Vaan didn’t know what it was, however, he could feel a strange connection with the fairy. The fairy continued to look into Vaan’s eyes, Vaan didn’t lose his patience either, in the end, with a trembling body, the fairy extended her little arms towards Vaan’s index finger.
Vaan didn’t move, soon, the fairy touched his finger with her hands.
“Krrriii~~” she exclaimed.
Her body seemed to have calmed down now.
Slowly, she moved her forehead close to Vaan’s finger, then, after looking into his eyes one more time, she rubbed her forehead on his finger.
Vaan chuckled.
“Krrrrriii~~~”
The Fairy exclaimed again.
This time, her voice was a lot louder and more cheerful than before.
She then flew towards Vaan’s face with a smile on her face, Vaan smiled back, he brought his hand near the fairy’s legs, the fairy decided to trust him one more time and landed on his hand.
For some reason, Vaan felt a strange urge,
He moved his forehead next to the fairy, the fairy touched his forehead with her two hands, then, she touched his forehead with hers.
The two stayed in that position for a while.
Suddenly, the Mana that Vaan had gathered inside his Mana Veins started draining.
Vaan panicked, soon, however, he realized that it was the Fairy who was doing it.
“Krrrriiiii~~”
The Fairy danced cheerfully as she drained all the Mana Vaan had stored inside his body.
Seeing this, Vaan couldn’t help but smile.
“Did you like it that much?”
He questioned.
The Fairy turned towards him and nodded continuously.
“Krrii!”
“Do you want more?”
The Fairy’s eyes brightened up as she nodded again.
Vaan took a deep breath and absorbed the surrounding Mana inside his body, then, he glanced at the Fairy, waiting for her to move.
The Fairy, however, stayed still. It was as if she was still waiting.
Vaan frowned.
Then, another theory popped into his mind, he circulated the Mana all around his body then glanced at the Fairy,
And just as he expected, the fairy placed her little forehead on his forehead again and started eating away his Mana again.
“More?” Vaan questioned.
“Krrrriiiii!!”
The greedy fairy nodded.
Vaan sighed, and for the next few minutes, he continued to feed the glutton Fairy with a smile on his face.
…
“Are you satisfied now?”
Vaan questioned.
“Krrrriiiii~~”
The little fairy nodded as she danced around with a jolly look on her face.
“Nic-”
“Haaah? What the hell are you talking about? What? Are you not happy after getting dismissed once? Do you want to be dismissed again? Look, I am not in a good mood, so don’t annoy me. Go away.”
Vaan heard a commotion outside his room.
“As I said, I was appointed by Family Head after you were injured. You are to wait for further orders now.”
“The hell do you mean wait for further orders? You were here because I was injured, I am fine now, so you can leave.”
“The family hea-”
“What is happening here?”
Vaan questioned as he opened the door and glanced at the two men causing the commotion.
“Young Master Vaan, it seems that Aldric recovered from the injuries he had sustained after he fell from the stairs that day,”
Gabel spoke, giving out the context of the story without raising any suspicions.
Vaan understood. That was the manipulated memory Astra’s men had planted into Alric’s head.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm He then glanced at Aldric.
“Vaan, tell him to get away, he is annoying me.”
Aldric spoke.
Hearing those words, Vaan’s face twitched.
This bastard, since his memories have been altered with, he had forgotten what happened and is acting like his usual self again.
“Come in.”
Vaan ordered. 𝒏𝒐𝒱𝑬𝑙𝒏ℯxt.𝑐𝐎𝔪
Aldric frowned, he felt like Vaan’s aura seemed different than normal. However, in the end, he just shrugged and walked into Vaan’s room.
Vaan then glanced at Gabel and extended his hand.
Gabel understood what he wanted, with a strange expression on his face, he took out a plate and handed it over to Vaan,
“Try not to cause too big of a scene.”
Gabel spoke.
“Don’t worry, I am a peace-loving man.”
Vaan replied as he grabbed the plate, then, he turned around and walked into his room as well.
