Lieutenant Valeria stopped giggling.

She was stunned.

She was shocked when Ace suddenly invited her to have dinner with him.

'What should I do now?'

She did not know whether she should accept it or not.

First, Ace lived with Scarlett, and last, she was Scarlett's subordinate. This was the reason why she did not know what to do.

As Lieutenant Valeria was thinking about the offer, one of Scarlett's subordinates appeared.

"There you are!" the blue-haired woman uttered, "Ace, city mistress is looking for you."

Ace turned his head toward the source of the sound. "Scarlett is looking for me? Why is she looking for me?"

"I don't know." The blue-haired woman responded, "She wants you to go home now."

Because Ace was worried about Scarlett, he waved goodbye to Lieutenant Valeria and went home.

----

Scarlett's House, Living Room.

Ace was currently in the living room, looking for Scarlett.

'Where is she?'

He immediately headed to her bedroom, but she was not in her room.

'Is she in her office?'

He headed to her office.

Coincidently, Scarlett walked out of her office when he was in front of her office.

"Ace…" Scarlett walked toward him with a tired face.

Ace was sad after seeing her condition. "Didn't I say not to overwork yourself earlier?"

"We will go to Framingburns forest tomorrow, so I have to finish my work today." She would take her subordinates to Framingburns forest tomorrow, so she had to finish her work today.

This was the main reason why she was exhausted because she forced herself to finish her work.

Ace sighed.

'She will get sick if she works like this every day.'

He felt sorry for her.

"I will take you to your room now." he wanted her to rest because she was tired.

"No." She did not want to sleep alone. "I want to sleep in your room with you."

"Alright. I will take you to my room now." after saying that, he carried her and headed to his bedroom.

Half of her tiredness disappeared instantly when Ace carried her.

'Ace really cares about me.'

She smiled happily.

'It makes me love him even more.'

Her heart pounded with happiness.

'I love you, Ace.'

She was delighted to have Ace as her lover because he was perfect in her eyes.

Not only was he handsome, but he was kind, had a beautiful smile and a caring person too.

Ten out of ten!

Perfect!

Flawless!

Ideal boyfriend!

She believed many women envied her because Ace was her lover. 

"Why are you looking at me like that, beautiful lady?" he inquired.

"Ace, it seems like you are more handsome now." she knew Ace was a good-looking young man, but at that moment, he looked more handsome than usual.

"Thank you for the compliment" After stepping into his room, he put her on the bed. "You should rest now."

Scarlett instantly grabbed his right hand. "Where are you going? Sleep with me."

"I want to wash my face first." He responded, "Wait here. I will be right back."

"Un." She lay on the bed.

After Ace returned to his room and lay next to her, she immediately embraced his right arm.

Maybe because she was exhausted or perhaps because she was with her lover, but at that time, she fell asleep quickly.

Ace, who saw her sleeping face, smiled softly.

'It seems like she is really tired.'

He touched her soft cheeks with his right hand.

*Growling…

The sound of stomach rumbling could be heard in his ears.

'I'm starving.'

After he freed his right arm from Scarlett's embrace, he headed to the dining room to eat.

To his surprise, he saw Scarlett sitting on the bed when he returned to his room. "You are awake?"

She did not say anything, but she pouted her lips and turned her head to the other side. She was unhappy because he left when she was sleeping.

Ace smiled softly before finally crawling onto the bed. "I was starving, so I headed to the dining room to eat."





Scarlett did not say anything.

She was ignoring him.

Ace lay on his back and uttered, "How about we sleep now?"

Like before, Scarlett did not say anything.

"Do you want to sleep in my arms?" he threw another question at her.

Scarlett still crossed her arms over her chest.

However, she glanced at him for a second because she was interested in his offer. She believed sleeping in his arms would feel good.

Ace smiled.

'Cute!'

She grabbed her slender waist and put her on top of him.

"Are you still angry at me?" he wrapped his arms around her back.

"I forgive you." She stated.

He kissed her forehead and uttered, "Let's sleep now."

"Un." She smiled happily after he kissed her.

Shortly after that, they fell asleep.

----

The following morning, Ace and Scarlett traveled to city guard headquarters after eating breakfast together.

Today was the day they would bring Scarlett's subordinates to the Framingburns forest for training, so they went to the city guard base immediately.

"Ace, are you going to Framingburns forest with us?" the red-haired man inquired.

He and the other city guards were startled when they saw Ace in their base. 

"Yes." Ace gave an honest answer. "Scarlett asked me to help her two days ago."

"Oh, does that mean you will be one of our protectors later?" Captain Noah asked curiously.

"You can say it like that." Ae responded.

"I suddenly feel shy because we need a younger awakener to protect us." Captain Noah knew that Ace was already at Master rank because he killed a 3-star Red Goblin in less than five minutes.

"What are you talking about, captain Noah?" the blue-haired man uttered, "We should be happy because one of the protectors is Ace."

eαglesnᴏνel "That's right, captain Noah." The red-haired man added. "Even though Ace is younger than us, but he is strong. Not only that, but he is also a Rheanix, someone who is loved by the heavens."

"Un, un." The other city guards nodded their heads.

"I'm sure other cities are jealous of us because we have a Rheanix in our city." The green-haired man spoke abruptly. 

"Maybe we can make our city bigger and famous in the future." The purple-haired man added.

"Oh, that's actually a good goal!" the yellow-haired man uttered.

"Yeah! That's a good idea!" one by one, Scarlett's subordinates uttered.

Ace did not say anything.

'I'm different from you guys. My next goal is to make everyone in this city know that I'm no longer weak.'

Even though he made a good contribution in the monster subjugation mission, not everyone in the Nightshire city knew about it.

There were still many people who did not know how stronger he was.

Ace did not want them to keep calling him Boytoy, so he wanted to get a new nickname, a good nickname like a Hero, a genius or something along these lines.

Of course, he would not refuse if they asked him to help them develop their city because he lived in Nightshire City.

Captain Noah tapped Ace's right shoulder and uttered, "Ace, we will place our lives in your hands. Please protect us later."

"I will do my best." He uttered.

Shortly after that, they traveled to Framingburns forest.
