"Do you want power?" Suddenly, a whisper was heard.
"?!" Adam quickly turned his head but couldn\'t find the source of the voice. However, as he returned his head to its original position, he was horrified to see that everything around him had turned dark, and Amarantha and the others had disappeared. He frowned and snorted, "Using the same tricks as me, huh? This is amusing..."
Although he wanted to continue his speech, he suddenly fell silent, his eyes wide open. Seeing the person in front of him, Adam felt shocked.
"You\'re... "
***
Adam felt his heart racing with excitement. His gaze filled with disbelief, and in the eyes of the man who resembled him, there was a mysterious allure.
The mysterious stranger had thick, black hair that fell to his shoulders. His eyes, as black as Adam\'s, radiated a mysterious charm. Perched on his left shoulder was a majestic raven with emerald eyes the size of a cat, giving him an aura of enigma. Playfully coiled around his neck was a snake, reminiscent of an anaconda in its beauty and sophistication, with a dark red pattern that accentuated its elegance.
He wore a high-quality black suit that accentuated his slender figure. Under the suit, he wore a white shirt with exquisite embroidery, giving his appearance an air of refinement. Polished black shoes adorned his feet, adding charm and sophistication to his overall look.
"You\'re..." Adam began.
"Hello, young man. How do you like my assistance?" the man smiled, waving casually and approaching Adam.
As he came closer, the height difference became evident. Despite Adam being a tall man, he still stood two heads shorter than the newcomer.
"The guy from the System menu..." Adam muttered, feeling astonished. "You\'re alive?!"
Upon hearing this question, the man tilted his head, showing a puzzled expression on his face. Even though he hadn\'t done anything, Adam could already feel the power of allure emanating from him, making him feel insignificant in the face of such force.
"Heh," as if noticing Adam\'s emotions, the man grinned foolishly and ruffled Adam\'s hair.
"Stop... please," Adam protested, feeling like he had reverted to his younger years.
Casanova gently smiled and patted Adam on the head, casting a gaze as though he was watching over his son. This look greatly puzzled Adam.
"In response to your question, Adam," he said, softening his smile and leaning down to be at eye level with Adam, "I\'ve always been alive. I\'ve always been with you. I even protected you from that dreadful lady, don\'t you remember?"
"What..." Adam was greatly surprised, and his shocked expression, which he didn\'t usually show, indicated that. Somehow, he had a feeling that he could trust this person, and he felt at ease.
Casanova smiled and patted Adam\'s back, then proceeded forward, gesturing for him to follow. Adam, of course, didn\'t refuse and took a step forward, immediately finding himself next to Casanova. The moment Adam moved, Casanova smiled.
"Not bad. In such a short time, you\'ve raised your level so much that not everyone could. That\'s commendable," Casanova sincerely praised him, ruffling Adam\'s hair.
"Enough with the touching, man. It\'s weird," Adam complained, feeling strange.
"Apologies. It\'s a habit," Casanova laughed, cracking his neck and taking a step forward, covering five kilometers in an instant.
"???" Adam didn\'t understand what he was talking about but decided to ignore it to focus on keeping up with the man who seemed to be glowing with joy for some reason.
***
Casanova, as Adam called him, indeed possessed a strong charisma. His charm seemed to envelop everything around him, and he appeared to be the embodiment of the word "rizzler," surpassing Adam in many aspects. Compared to this man, Adam looked like a youth.
Equally impressive was the presence of his two pets – the raven and the snake. They calmly perched on his shoulder and neck, giving him a mysterious aura. They might have seemed harmless at first glance, but...
"Damn, what a terrible magical energy," Adam exclaimed, realizing that the power of these pets was on par with Amarantha\'s, which was alarming, considering she was one of the strongest in this world.
They continued to walk in the darkness for more than ten minutes, and Casanova still hadn\'t explained anything, which was starting to frustrate Adam. So, after another five minutes, when Adam began to lose patience, Casanova turned and smiled, saying, "We\'ve arrived."
As he spoke these words, the space suddenly lit up, and Adam even heard the chirping of birds. Looking around, he found himself in a meadow with tall grass and beautiful flowers.
Casanova smiled gently and squatted down, caressing the petals of a chamomile flower.
"A strange place..." Adam thought contemplatively, feeling a sudden sense of nostalgia and melancholy. "Very... strange."
For some reason, he felt his cheek become wet. Embarrassed by this, he took a mirror out of his inventory. When he looked into it, he was astonished.
"I\'m crying? Why?" Tears began to well up in his eyes, continuing to flow despite his lack of emotion.
Casanova, a few meters away from him, smiled and stood up, clapping his hands to get Adam\'s attention, causing his tears to subside.
"Apologies for that. You\'re in my memories, so you\'re experiencing the same emotions I felt back then," explained Casanova. He cracked his neck and pointed ahead. "Look."
Adam approached and saw what lay before him.
"This..."
In the distance, on a hill, sat two people – a man and a woman. The man had short black hair and beautiful blue eyes, dressed in ordinary leather armor. The woman had pink hair and pink eyes, her appearance so beautiful that no one could compare.
Casanova, who had been silent, gazed at the scene. Faint traces of sorrow appeared in his eyes, directed at the woman.
"E-eh..." Adam felt a stab in his heart, and his soul felt heavy. He felt lost and devastated, and his mind began to unravel.
Noticing this, Casanova frowned and sent a magical thread toward Adam. It penetrated his skull and spread through magical channels, soothing his raging emotions.
"I got carried away with emotions... I apologize for my carelessness, Adam," Casanova apologized, ruffling Adam\'s hair and standing up.
Casanova\'s voice brought Adam back to reality. His emotions gradually subsided, and when Adam finally calmed down, he looked at Casanova.
"What was that? Why did I feel pain when I looked at that woman?" he asked, feeling puzzled.
Casanova smiled, meeting Adam\'s black eyes, which seemed to have become brighter, and replied, "She..."
***
After an unknown amount of time, Adam opened his eyes, feeling his body explode with fatigue, and the shock of the words he had heard from the man he called Casanova remained alive as if it had happened five seconds ago.
Looking around, he noticed that people had already started waking up, and the ceremony continued as usual. There were many speeches and formalities without which the process could have taken only five minutes.
Elizabeth occasionally glanced at her friend, who ignored the ceremony and talked intimately with Adam, holding his hand with a tender smile. Although such behavior could be considered ignorant and inappropriate, no one dared to say anything to her. Because...
She was Adam\'s wife, which already elevated her status fivefold. Oh, and Amarantha was not in her disguise, as she considered it a futile step, given that Elizabeth had asked her not to.
In any case, after two hours spent listening to speeches about Leonid\'s achievements, the time for negotiations finally arrived. All individuals unrelated to this matter left the hall. There were only about ten people left, including Adam and his wife, Amarantha.
"Leonid, I\'ve heard that you have a request for me," Elizabeth spoke, narrowing her eyes and releasing her aura, using it as intimidation. "I\'m listening."
Hero Leonid, unprepared for this, almost cried out in pain as several bones cracked due to his inability to withstand the pressure. However, thanks to Angela, who secretly healed his wounds, he managed to endure it and answer the question, even though he felt unwell.
"Your Majesty... I heard from General James that Avalonia intends to withdraw funding from my group," Leonid gulped, feeling the pressure intensify. Nevertheless, he mustered his willpower and continued, "I would like to know if this is true or not. And if so, for what reason?"
"...," Elizabeth didn\'t answer immediately, only indifferently scrutinizing each member of Leonid\'s group, including him. Adam, who was behind the throne, merely smiled, watching as the hero struggled to hold back tears from the intense pain. His gaze shifted to Vanessa and the other girls.
"Dark Protection," he whispered in a quiet voice, audible only to Amarantha and Elizabeth.
In a brief moment, the bodies of the girls were covered with a thin layer of dark-purple energy, and they suddenly stopped feeling any pressure, their faces showing surprise as they examined their bodies. Angela had a much more cautious reaction, as she sensed the element of darkness, but since she didn\'t feel any malicious intent, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Not everyone could withstand the pressure of a being like Elizabeth, even though she didn\'t use her full power.
"Hmph," Elizabeth snorted, concentrating her pressure on Leonid, who had already started showing signs of tears. After a long silence, she answered his question with a question, "Tell me, Leonid, what were your achievements this year?"
Leonid sighed in relief when the pressure ceased, so he hurried to answer as humbly as possible, to avoid angering the magnificent queen. However, this question caught him off guard.
To be continued...
