Chapter 279 I’m Sorry for Leaving Without Saying Goodbye

"Do you think Ace will be fine?"

"What do you mean by that? Ace is powerful awakener. Of course, he will be fine."

"You are right. Ace even can kill 4-star dragon. Nothing in this forest can stop him now."

"Damn right."

The citizens chatted as they had lunch together.

Even though Ace went to check the situation alone, most of them were not worried because they believed nothing bad would happen to him.

Ace was already at the Grandmaster rank, so he was like a king in the forest.

"Hey, It's Ace."

"Ace has returned."

"Eh? Who is she?"

"So beautiful!"

"Damn! He went to check the situation, but he returned with a beautiful lady."

"Now I'm starting to envy his luck with women."

"Haha."

The citizens were startled when they saw Evelyn.

Even though Evelyn had visited their city once, but only a few people had seen her because she did not stay long in the past.

Captain Noah rose to his feet and walked toward Ace. "You have returned?"

"Yes. I've taken care of the problem." Ace said he killed two tigers earlier.

"Ace, who is she?"

"Ace, why are you with her?"

"Ace, did you save her earlier?"

Some citizens were curious about Evelyn because Ace returned with her.

Ace was not surprised by their questions because he had guessed this before. "She is Evelyn. She is from Misty Palace."

"Hello, everyone." Evelyn greeted the citizens.

"Hello." The citizens also greeted her.

Shortly after that, they had lunch together.

Evelyn, who was sitting on a log, inquired, "Are they going to build something?"

"They are going to use the wood to build a house." Ace gave an honest answer.

"I see." She did not suspect anything because she did not know about the war that happened a few days ago.

When the sun was setting, Ace and the others returned to the city.

Evelyn did not return to Mysty Palace because she still wanted to be with him. She had not seen him for almost a year, so she decided to return tomorrow.

On their way to Nightshire City, Evelyn realized something.

'Why is everyone outside the city? And why are they carrying logs? Are they going to build many houses?'

Countless questions appeared in her mind.

When she was in front of the destroyed gate, Evelyn stopped her footsteps and widened her eyes.

"This…" due to how shocked she was, she could not finish her words. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟el.c𝚘𝚖

"Countless magical beasts attacked our city a few days ago." Ace told her the reason why his city was destroyed.

"Attacked your city?" She was shocked again.

"Yes." Ace responded, "That's why we are rebuilding our city."

Captain Noah tapped Ace's right shoulder and uttered, "Lady, Ace is our hero. He was the reason why we could win the war. We even made a statue of him."

"Hero? A statue?" she immediately looked at Ace. "Is that true?"

"Everyone contributed in the war." Ace did not take all the credit for himself. "And yes. They made a statue of me."

Evelyn suddenly wanted to see his statue, but she did not voice out her feelings.

"We will sleep in a tent later. Are you fine with it?" Ace inquired.

"I have a tent in my space ring." Evelyn had learned her lesson, so she always brought a tent whenever she went somewhere.

Ace grabbed her right hand and uttered, "Let's meet Scarlett and the others."

Evelyn did not say anything when he suddenly dragged her to Scarlett's tent.

Captain Noah, who saw them, smiled softly. "He has good luck in everything."

----

"Sister Scarlett, do you see Ace?" Valeria inquired.

She did not call Scarlett city mistress because they were off duty now.

"I haven't seen him since morning." Scarlett did not know where he was.

"City mistress, he protects residents who are tasked with collecting wood in the forest." Lexie spoke abruptly.

Lexie's tent was next to Scarlett's because Alena wanted to be close to Ace.

"I see." Valeria and Scarlett said in unison.

To their surprise, they saw Ace shortly after that.

"It's big brother Ace." After saying that, Alena rushed toward Ace.

Ace stopped holding Evelyn's right hand before finally squatting down and spreading his arms widely.

After carrying Alena, Ace walked closer to Scarlett and the others.

Scarlett and the others were startled when they saw Evelyn.

Of course, Scarlett knew who Evelyn was because they had met and talked before. "It's good to see you again."

"I'm also happy to meet you again." Evelyn said as she smiled.

Like before, Ace introduced Evelyn to Valeria and Lexie because they had never met Evelyn before.

After talking for several minutes, Ace left to take a bath.

'I feel so refreshed.'

He walked out of his tent with a smile on his face.

'Evelyn?'

He immediately approached her when he saw her sitting on a log alone.

After sitting next to her, he inquired, "Why are you alone? Where are Scarlett and the others?"

"They are taking a bath." Evelyn gave an honest answer.

"I see." he uttered.

"You seem close to them." She did not know why she suddenly said this.

"Actually, Scarlett and Valeria are…" he began explaining his relationship with Scarlett and Valeria.

He said Scarlett and Valeria were his women. He also told her that he was quite close to Lexie and Layla.

He revealed everything because he did not want to lie to her.

"Ace, I also li-"she wanted to say she also liked him, but her words were suddenly stuck in her throat.

"You also what?" he did not understand it because she did not finish her words.

"Nothing." She uttered.

Ace held her hand and looked into her eyes. "You are also important to me. That was why I felt immense pain when you left without saying goodbye."

"I'm sorry. My master has contracted an unknown disease. I can't leave her alone for a long time." She told him the reason why she suddenly left in the past.

"Your master has contracted an unknown disease?" Ace was shocked because he did not know anything about this.

"Yes." She responded, "I left without saying goodbye because I would change my mind if I saw your face."

She then continued, "I know you will think of this as an excuse, but I also had a hard time. I…I also did not want to be separated from you, but at the same time, I had to take care of my master."

"Alright. Let's stop talking about it." He forgave her easily because he understood her position. "Can you tell me about your master's disease?"

"My master…" she told him that her master's body often turned hot.

Not only that, but her master often screamed in pain as if she was being burned alive. That was why she looked for ice lotus because it could help stabilize her master's body.

"I've met many healing mages, but none of them could heal my master." She was sad when she remembered her master's condition.

Her master took care of her since she was little, but she could not do anything when her master was in pain due to an unknown disease.

"I will help you cure your master's illness." He uttered.

"Thank you." Evelyn smiled softly.

They began talking again.

However, he changed the topic of the conversation because he did not want to see her sad anymore.

As they were chatting, Evelyn suddenly wanted to know how important she was to him.

"Ace, you said I'm important to you. Can you tell me how important I am to you?" she asked.
