Chapter 383: Important Question

As soon as Snow finished his words the droplets of water of life that had been slowly entering his skin instantly stopped at the exact time that Claus' deep green eyes widened with absolute horror.

"Baby! Please calm down! I just want to help remove your curse!"

'How will you feel if I use my own life to help you?'

"I won't allow it!"

The entire atmosphere has become heavier as an uncomfortable silent descend, at the same time, the baby dragon has wisely chosen to remain silent while further decreasing his presence.

'My love… don't do this. I know what I had gotten myself with… besides I can live with the curse, you just have to carry me in your arms whenever it's needed. But what is the point of removing the curse that will cause a decrease in your lifespan?" 

Snow silently sighs with a heavy heart before gently caressing the bleeding wrist of his lover that has started to gush the normal crimson blood making him feel a bit relieved.

And without hesitation, he has taken out a medicinal ointment to stop the bleeding, which was made by Lin Cheng in the first mission world, before white bandages have followed after, completely revealing the inventory skill that he had hidden.

At the same time, he quickly let down the baby dragon in his arms, which instantly ran deeper in the forest as soon as his little feet landed in the ground, completely thoughtful in giving them a private time with each other.

… Good dragon… I will let you play with the Little Treasure later.

'My Love, I want to be with you until the day we die.'

Snow understood that the like to his lover had finally turned into a deep love and the heartbreaking pain he felt in his chest is the greatest evidence for letting him know about it.

Besides, how Snow remains unmoved after witnessing and experiencing again the familiar selfless sacrifice of his lover even if their identity in this world is different, and at the same time, his lover having no memories of their previous lifetimes. 

… My love… There is no need to give up your lifespan… I hope your death that occurred in the previous world only needed to be done once in our lifetime… 

'My Love, please don't do this to me. My heart feels so painful…'

"Baby…"

Snow sadly smiled as his lover's voice trembled, at the same time, he finally tied the slashed wrist of his lover with the white bandage.

And when he is done, his fingers stained with the blood of his lover have slowly grasped the shaking hands before him and staring deep into the turbulent green eyes that's constantly swirling with deep regret, remorse, and guilt.

'My Love, I am not from this world. This physical body belongs to the real Aurel, but the soul inside is Snow, which is who I really am."

Snow wanted to reveal his identity as a Granter after the mission was over, but seeing how his lover constantly shows how he cares less about his own life, well, it's time to give a more serious consequence and reason to make him finally stop and listen.

He understood and experienced how his lover can give up everything for his sake.

The threat Snow has spoken before might have worked, stopping his lover from further using the water of life, but if it's in an entirely different matter where Snow is in grave danger of losing his life.

Nonetheless, his lover would still go to the extreme just for his sake, even at the cost and consequences of the two of them being unable to remain together.

Snow safety and well-being matter more than anything else than Claus' own happiness.

Just like what occurred in the previous world where his lover can even give up his own life for Snow.

Because when it comes to emotions, his lover would always remain ahead because Snow wasn't in a condition and state where his reason and logic would be overwhelmed with how emotions.

At least, if something occurred where Snow had to choose, his logical and reasonable mind would win rather than his emotions when there is no other choice left between the mission or his lover.

'I'm a Granter that appeared in this world in order to fulfill Aurel's wish and hope when he died. So, My love, please understand that I had to sacrifice something and face difficulties in order to complete my mission.'

Snow pulled Claus closer, letting their forehead touch each other in order for their eyes to gaze more closer.

Even though Snow understands that his lover is capable of accepting whoever he is, Snow is still unable to stop the relief feeling in his heart when Claus didn't take a step back away from him.

'Just wait for me to fulfill Aurel's wish and I will be free to do whatever I want. And when that happens, I will accompany you for the rest of our lives since this body will end up becoming mine, giving me the ability to stay and live in this world until my lifespan is over."

So, please understand, there is no easy way out. Even if I am smart, with countless cheats and experiences, there is still a moment where I need to follow the rules of this world, facing limitations and regulations.

Even if I have the highest possibility of completing the mission, it still doesn't change the fact that the possibility of failure remains.

'As Snow, I want to be with you for as long as I can. So, My Love, please don't ever give up and waste the precious second of our time with each other.'

The special power Snow had gotten in the Forbidden Island is definitely powerful, but the Water of Life is on another level.

Snow has to give up half of his Siren lifespan just to get the power, at the same time, accepting the lifetime curse of being unable to swim for a long time in any huge body of water, which is extremely harsh for a race meant for the ocean itself.

So, Snow felt that the consequences that his lover has to receive are harsher than what he has gotten. Particularly the fact that it also can be related to life-based on what special existence his lover had.

"... Baby… I… don't know what to say…"

After the quick silence that has descended between them, Claus has finally spoken, although his voice is soft and a bit nervous, but it doesn't contain any negative emotions.

At the same time, Snow has once more witnessed how his lover can easily and quickly trust his words alone, accepting everything without proper and serious evidence regarding the unimaginable information.

My Love… this is why I had chosen you… at the same time, why I fell in love with you all over again...

"But Baby… please answer this important question… what will happen if you fail the mission?"

Snow wasn't even surprised anymore when despite the countless questions a person would want to ask after hearing what he just revealed, his lover was more worried about his situation than anything else.

'Once I fail, Aurel's body will die and I will be unable to stay in this world anymore.'

Through the gift, Loki had given has 50% of being triggered, providing me another chance to remain in this world.

"...!!! Baby, tell me what you need to do! I will help you complete whatever mission you have!"

Baby, don't die, and disappear in my life!

'My Love, don't be afraid… I'm halfway done… but I will definitely ask for your help, so don't worry about being left behind to watch. Although I personally make my move for the challenge and curiosity's sake. I also prefer when the two of us stand side by side when dealing with anyone who gets in the way of what we desire.'

My love, you are my forever golden thigh, I won't forget the first reason why I chose you in my first mission world. Of course, it's because you are also a special existence that is able to deeply move my heart.

Snow lip curls up in a bright smile before gently leaning over and placing a soft kiss upon the slightly open mouth of Claus. At the same time, he slightly turned right before gently rubbing their cheeks together.

'I just need to push that Mermaid Princess into deeper despair before I can start slaughtering the entire mermaid race to extinction. My Love, after a short break, let's handle everyone that needs to be dealt with alright?'

"Baby, as long as that is what you desire, I'll make sure to complete it to the best of my ability."

Snow's smile widens while allowing himself to be pulled up and returning back to the arms of his lover. At the same time, calmly watching how his lover's face is getting closer to his own.

"Snow… I want to kiss you..."

'Well, I can allow you to get a bit deeper with our relationship.'

As soon as those words are spoken, just as Snow predicted, Claus has only paused for a few seconds, seemingly in deep thought before continuing on to give Snow a soft kiss along with gently biting his lower lip.

And without hesitation, Claus began to walk back into the old villa with a quick pace in his footsteps.

"I want to experience a new intimate action with my Baby, so let's go back to our bedroom."

"..."

I thought so... Well, I'm prepared, come on, let's see who will last long in the bed. Based on our race, I bet I'm more powerful in physical aspects in this world.

More importantly though…

'My Love, can you give birth to my child?'

Male Siren can do it, so I'm curious if there is a special characteristic with other races in this world too. I can finally try topping you too… especially when it comes to experiencing the process of giving birth, which is extremely painful.

"..."
