The Conquerors Path Chapter 344 - Lets Move Together

Chapter 344 - Lets Move Together.

Austin's eyes traced Marlene's figure, her route was tough yet easy in a way, the type of guys that Marlene likes are one that is brave, steadfast, loyal, and one that won't even bow to pressure, she wants a man that will challenge her, fight against her and one that will stand beside her.

Even just to get her attention one just has to ask her out on a date, if you are above the following conditions she will consider you but the real issue that cos up is her status, the one she marries will have a rippling effect around the entire sea, if she was to marry a human the child born would only be a half whale, thus making his chance for the throne very unstable.

It a very rigid look but that's her position, knowing her Austin knew that if she was to love she would love with all her heart but sotis reality also has to be taken into consideration, her status as the next Empress of the sea makes it that she has to be very selective of who she would choose to love and marry.

As a warrior limiting her choice of life is very restricting for Marlene, Austin knows that she hates that very thought but then again she was a princess above her warrior, that's why her route was very challenging to walk, in the ga Austin had to keep following her around, challenging her and fighting her again and again and again.

Just for her route, he had to develop deeper into raising his characters levels and fighting abilities, even then after all these fights you would only get the chance to be her friend, and from there on will only Austin's journey start, Austin felt a shudder as he rembered the hellish nights and retries he kept doing to win over this simple yet complex woman,

"Please....hick.....ju-just ki-kill "

Hearing the tearing voice Austin looked towards the one that he had incapacitated, right now most of his nails were ripped apart, several holes were made in his body, and his tongue was on the verge of being cut away by Marlene,

'She sure is ruthless'

Thinking so Austin shook his head, her past too wasn't that pleasant, while many envy her position and power, not everyone knows how much she bled, cried, and fought for her position, she has several healed scars on her body, if she wants she could remove them yet they still stay within her, reminding her the path she had walked.

In fact, in the ga, Austin's main role was to develop back her feelings as a woman and to 'heal' those scars on her,

"Take it easy, if you torture more, he will die"

Austin spoke as he appeared beside Marlene, who froze when he appeared beside her, her head snapping towards him as her eyes peered into his but seeing no anger, sadness, or disgust her body relaxed,

"You don't seem surprised by this"

She spoke as she turned her attention back to the captive but the answer she got was sothing else,

"You seem to be in pain and trauma"

Austin's words caused her to flinch but she didn't reject it as a wry smile ca to her face,

"We all have our past"

She replied and seeing that Marlene didn't want to dive too deep into the topic Austin spoke,

"Well not many know this but I traveled through the world during my younger age, I have seen things much worse and done things even more deadly"

His words astonished her as she looked at him, trying to see any falseness to his words but all she saw was the sa wry smile as her, with complex emotions filling his eyes,

"You look to have your own traumas too"

But to her words, Austin shook his head as he replied,

"I did have them but I conquered over them so ti ago"

"I see, that's nice"

Marlene enviously replied as she focused back on the sealion beast folk under her, she pulled at his hair as she questioned,

"Tell , who was it that ordered this?"

By now fear had overwheld the guy as his lips and eyes were trembling, his eyes being filled with tears from the pain as he tried to speak,

"I-It wa-wa-"

The guy wasn't even able to complete his words before which his heart gave out and he died, seeing this Marlene clicked her tongue as she threw his dead body to the ground,

"A death contract"

She spoke and Austin nodded his head,

"Looks like this was a dead end"

She said but this ti Austin shook his head as he spoke,

"Not so"

"Why?"

Marlene questioned to which Austin pointed to all that had gathered here, laying dead,

"The one I kept alive doesn't seem to be any high-level mber which would an that a death contract was used with all of them"

Hearing Austin's words Marlene's eyes lit up as she replied,

"Which ans that whoever did this must be of a very high status one of a certain power, wealth, and status"

Her words made Austin nod his head,

"Looks like you're not all strength, so intelligence still exists"

"Hey! I am smart, okay!"

Saying so Marlene punched Austin's shoulder playfully, as she waved her spear forth in a threatening manner to which Austin raised his hands in surrender,

"All jokes aside, did your powers return?"

He asked to which Marlene shook her head with a serious expression, killing intent filling her gaze as she replied,

"It's still there, whatever this is, it's very powerful to seal off half my powers, bloodline, and treasures"

"These people seem well prepared, you saw it didn't you, they all gathered together this soon, sothing very wrong is going on inside"

Austin's expression only made Marlene's expression more severe as she looked around, her mind formulated different solutions to the current situation, it was at this ti that Austin tapped on her shoulder taking away her focus as she ca upon his relaxed smile,

'He sure is very handso'

Marlene thought but none of her thoughts showed on her face as she waited for Austin to speak,

"Let's move together, for now, I can keep you safe, you've seen my strength right?'

His words prompted her to nod her head as she mulled over it,

"You've been hiding your strength very deep, taking down Origin level 5's with one arrow, just how strong are you?"

Marlene asked with curiosity to which Austin only smiled mysteriously,

"That's a secret~"

To his words, she only shook her head as she agreed,

"Sure let's move around until I find the rest of my faction, so revenge is due"

Saying so Marlene's azure eyes lit up in vengeance but then her eyes focused on Austin as she spoke with a convicted expression,

"I will take your help but do not take for a woman that needs protection, I will still fight on my own"

Her words were powerful and filled with her conviction to which Austin nodded his head,

"Sure wouldn't have it another way, plus the way you fight is quite sexy"

His words prompted Marlene to raise her eyebrows as a wide smile split her face,

"My...my are you flirting with ?"

"Well, when I see a beautiful woman it just cos out naturally"

Austin spoke as he shrugged his shoulder, a smoldering smile taking his face as he walked forward his body close to her while his eyes took in hers,

"Why? are you scared of so flirting?'

His words burned the will in her as she took a step further, her body was hitting his, she was quite tall making her face him directly as her hand rubbed his face,

"I am not one to back down"

Marlen spoke to which Austin took the hand that was touching his face before placing a small kiss on her upper hand,

"Well princess to have such a beauty to journey with is a dream co true"

Saying so Austin left her hand as he started to walk forward, noting the small blush struggling in her face.

'Humph....your still too young to deal with '

Thinking so he moved without turning back.
