Conquering The Game's World Chapter 59: End of the Lonely Winter!

Suddenly, a mory flashed through her mind. It was the mory of the day when she first t Luis. It was about the talk they had in the garden at Suarez' family manor.

'Is this what he ant when he said, -"I want you to live your life to the fullest from now on. Not just make revenge your life's goal."?'

'Is this the emptiness he was talking about?'

Thinking of this, Alicia's lips trembled, and an indescribable emotion surged inside her heart. With a shutter of her lips, she finally uttered two words.

"Thank you."

Luis was surprised by Alicia's sudden 'Thank you'. But looking at her reserved attitude, he seed to have understood sothing. Chuckling inside his heart. He said.

"There's no need to be reserved in front of . Instead of 'Thanks' just call sweetly, I would prefer 'Hubby or Darling."

Hearing his joking tone, Alicia felt so dissatisfaction in her heart. She knew she shouldn't think too much about it, but sowhere inside her heart, these weren't the words she wanted to hear from him. She wanted him to give her a serious reply. Even if it was an assurance...

"Um." She just gave a short reply, masking her emotions. Then, with a cold snort, she pouted and said. "Hmph, what husband?! It's not decided yet!"

Luis had expected this answer from her and had said those words intentionally to improve her mood. But looking at her cold expression, he felt sothing was wrong.

'This isn't right.'

'Why is she angry?'

'Is it...'

Suddenly, realization dawned upon him as his eyes beca serious.

'Hah~'

With a slight movent, he got close to her.

*Sigh*

'Seriously, this girl...'

Luis held Alicia's tender hands, which were cold and wet. Maybe due to the rain or because of her ice affinity, but it didn't matter. Because at the mont those hands which contained the power of an F rank... seed fragile. As if they could break at any mont if not handled delicately.

Alicia, who was taken aback by Luis' actions. Let him hold her hands as she felt the warmth permitted through his palms. This feeling was rather comfortable and soothed her depressed heart.

With a faint smile on his handso face and tenderness in his eyes, he called her na softly.

"Alicia..."

"What is it?!"

She asked in a bland tone. But the next mont her turquoise eyes t his gray affectionate eyes and a bubbling emotion erged inside of her. Under her cold eyes, yet an expectant heart, he said word by word.

"We, who were brought together by destiny, are going to spend our entire lives together... My thread of fate has already been entangled by yours and this knot is sothing I want to keep as it is forever... Even if you ever want to escape this destiny of yours... I won't let you go... May it be selfishness of mine... But it doesn't matter... As long as we are together... We are bound to find happiness together."

"So, Alicia, let be selfish this ti. And from now on... Be mine!"

His bold declaration made Alicia's heart flutter. At a loss for words, her pale white face turned deep crimson as the sudden happiness overwheld her heart.

"Hmph, you are so possessive." Though she said that she didn't deny him. Because in her heart, she was bubbling with joy.

When she looked at Luis beside her. Alicia's cold expression lted, and a beautiful smile blossod on her fair face.

Because of the ergence of this warm feeling, her cold heart lted as if the lting of winter snow at the arrival of spring.

Maybe this was the start of Alicia's spring as her flower of eternal love blossod. Her cold and lonely winter was finally coming to an end as this beautiful white rose would blossom to a new beginning at the start of her eternal spring.

*Cough*

At this mont, an embarrassed cough broke the ambiance between them. Alicia's beautiful smile stiffened as she glanced at Dellard coldly.

"Young master, the battle is coming to an end!"

Luis nodded solemnly and replied, "Very well! Let the support team check for any casualties!"

"Yes, Sir!!"

Receiving his orders, Dellard imdiately set out.

***

On the other side, most of the ruins were already destroyed. Large pits, craters, sword marks and the bloodied ground soaked with the blood of assassins were left as the aftermath of this short one-sided battle.

"This seems to be the last one." Lumine mumbled as she chopped the limbs of the C rank assassin who was agonizing and wailing in pain, barely keeping his life.

From her stable breath, it could be understood just how simple this battle for her was. Tapping on her mana bracelet, she sent a ssage, then commanded.

"Bring the captives and follow !"

"Yes! Madam!!"

...

Soti later, at the location specified by Luis.

Ronald, Lumine and Jack arrived with their respective teams.

"Good work everyone!"

"Yes, sir"

Looking at everyone, Ronald nodded with appreciation. Then his eyes fell on Lumine as he noticed so unusualness. 'It seems she has also found out.'

Sighing in his heart, he didn't say anything and quietly waited for the arrival of Luis and Alicia.

***

When Luis arrived with the support team. Everyone in the raid team was also looking at him. All of them are veterans and in this mission, it was Luis' first ti participating, moreover, as a commander. Looking at their gazes full of admiration and respect, the results were quite good.

Giving a short speech and appreciating the hard work of the team mbers. Luis let them leave with the support team and rest.

Now the only people left were Luis, Alicia, Ronald, Lumine, Jack and the six unconscious captives. Five of them were assassins wearing black battle suits, and one of them was in a priest's robe. From his attire, his identity can be ascertained. It was the person with the most contribution to this battle. Without him, this raid wouldn't have been possible. Ren Varnish, the direct disciple of Pope.

"ntal Protection artifacts are removed from his body, right?"

"Yes, young master!" Jack replied.

Luis smirked and said, "In that case, let's start the performance."
