''I see, that's good. Don't worry; you will get used to it pretty soon.'' It what she said. {A/N: Chapter 94: Back to the Inn]
People could interpret Sera's words as her being familiar with killing. If not, she couldn't have said these words.
Heaving a sigh, Sera finally responded. ''I do.''
Alex nodded and continued, ''I was shocked; your words further confirm that you are hiding something. I wanted what it's. I wanted to uncover the mystery known as Sera. I imagined many possibilities; maybe you were an adventurer. However, I didn't see the adventure vibe from you no matter how many I observed you. You do not look like a mercenary either, so what are you? I pondered, but I couldn't find the answer, so I just decided to postpone the matter for another time.''
Stopping for a moment to breathe in the fresh air, Alex continued afterward,
''You know, while I'm clueless about your real identity, I knew it was somehow related to Elseria. And I got to confirm last time when those assassins attacked me, and I saw a purple-haired beauty holding a brown-haired woman; the latter was probably injured, I'm not sure. The moment I saw that hair, I immediately thought of you, and before I could check if it was really you, that woman was faster she disappeared. It was all I need to understand that it was you. You have been protecting me in the shadow on Elseria's orders. I'm grateful for it. It's because you were protecting that you know I got engaged. After all, you had been there, concealed somewhere.''
Sera didn't say anything at first after Alex had done talking; she observed him as if to burn his image deep into her retina before suddenly chuckling.
''I must admit it, while I have imagined this day to come, I never thought it would be this soon that you were suspecting me for a while already. As things are now, there's no need to deny it any longer. Openly I'm the daughter of a talented blacksmith, while in reality, I'm a master class assassin. My codename is Zero, and as you have guessed, I work for the Guild master, I work for Elseria.''
Seeing that there was no need to hide who she is after Alex figure out pretty much everything, Sera told him her real identity.
When she said her codename, it was as if she had become a whole other person. The chilly air that exuded from her body almost turned into a substantial cold breeze that froze the entire world around her.
Alex gulped audibly; he almost retreated as he knew the identity of that chilly air, it's killing intent. He wondered how many people Sera, no Zero, have killed, to possess such deep and at the same time frightening killing intent that could twist reality.
''So, now that you know my identity. It's time to tell me what you want. What you have in mind exposing everything. I'm listening.''
Sera's voice rang in Alex's ears, bringing it back to reality.
Alex couldn't help but gulp audibly because the Sera in front of him had lost all her gentleness; it got replaced by a coldness that almost reached the degree of indifference.
〖Moment of truth.〗Silveria commented. She was sat on a black velvet chair, sipping a glass of wine. She seemed to be enjoying what was happening outside.
If Alex knew what she was doing, he would have spanked her bottoms hard.
Looking at those emotionless eyes, Alex smiled before saying.
''I want you to work for me.''
His words were direct; he didn't like to beat around the bush. As Sera guessed, he didn't expose her identity to play the detective that finally succeeds in cracked a case, he exposed everything with a clear goal in mind, and he had just proclaimed it.
Sera's eyes widened in disbelief; she hadn't thought Alex's goal would be this. At the same time, she found his words amusing because nobody had said something like that to her after knowing she really is. They all became scared. Well, they were dead as nobody knows her real identity aside from her father, master, colleagues, and now Alex.
Observing Alex, Sera knew he was not joking; he was deadly serious.
''You-"
Alex stopped her, he declared,
''Elseria is already aware of this goal of mine.''
Sera's brow twitched; she could more or less guess what her Master said. Despite that, she still asked, ''What did she say?"
Smiling, Alex responded, ''She said it okay if I can make you accept. You are free to do as you wish. If I manage to convince you, then she will not say anything, just wish us good luck.''
'That woman.'
Sera was compelled to massage her forehead.
''I want you to work for me because you are the best. I want someone who can work in the shadows, someone who can collect information for me. I want to have my little special force, and you will be the head. You will form the members of this group. I know it's must be sudden, but I will appreciate it if you could accept. I have money, so no need to fear that I can't pay you. You may be thinking, is it worth it for me to work for someone weaker than my current master? The answer is yes because I believe I'm more talented than her. I will show you things you have never expected, I will show you a bigger world. My destination is not here; I will go higher. I will stand at the top of all things. Won't it be exciting to be beside me at that time? I think it is.''
〖You sounds like some shady business person that wanted to sell his goods at any cost.〗Silveria decided to tease her master.
Alex ignored her and continued.
''While I may not know your current strength, I believe that soon I will be stronger than you.''
Sera's mouth lifted into a smile; she almost shouted, I don't think so, but when she recalled how few months again, Alex was so weak that her killing intent could have killed him on the spot, but now he became stronger enough not to be called a weakling. His potential is absurd; with intense training, he will be strong as she is in no time.
Alex waited for Sera to give him her answer; while he believes that he has a chance, seeing her remain silent after everything he said made him anxious. He needs a special force; he wants to put his future woman (he was sure of himself.) in charge of it; like this, he was sure not to be betrayed.
Finally, after some time, Sera opened her mouth,
''I understand what you said. Frantically speaking, I'm not convinced, but I'm thrilled. I want to see how far you will go. To do this, I must be beside you, not knowing where Elseria will end; better chose my side in the case you two became separated.''
Sera's words brought joy to Alex's face. However, he knew he mustn't celebrate too fast as the actual show was about start.
And as he thought Sera's following words confirmed it,
''I will only work for you only after you become Rank 9 in one month. I believe it is not too hard with the occasion in front of you.''
Alex's lips twitched when he heard Sera's words; 17 levels are considered not too hard? What a joke. Once at higher Ranks, it became harder and harder to level.
'Sigh,' Alex sighed; Sera's condition was not unreasonable. It's good she didn't tell him to become Rank 10 before accepting. As for the occasion she was talking about, Alex believes she referred to his next excursion to the dungeon with Artemia. Well, he can use this occasion to increase his strength as dungeons provide an endless amount of monsters for one to level up.
''I accept,'' Alex announced; he couldn't let go of the occasion to get such valuable subordinates no matter how difficult the condition was.
''Good.'' Sera nodded her head, pleased with his decision.
Suddenly, as if remembering something Alex said,
''I want you to protect my sister while I'm inside the dungeon. I have the feeling that something will happen, so please look after her.''
''Sure I will,'' Sera promised.
Hearing Sera's promise, Alex heaved a sigh of relief. If you are wondering why he didn't include Maria and others, it was because he knew Gracier would be together with them; if Maria, Luna, or Sakuya were in danger, Sera wouldn't sit idly and watch them die just because she promised only to protect Gracier.
''I'm hungry. Let's eat.'' Alex said while rubbing his stomach. All that talk makes him hungry.
Sera nodded her head; she had reverted to her usual gentle persona, the deadly Zero was no more.
After eating the dessert, Alex suddenly said,
''When are we going on a date? After I come back from the dungeon?"
Sera twitched the corner of her eye. She couldn't help but ask.
''After learning who I am. Do you still want to date me?"
''I do. It doesn't matter how you are, how many people you have killed, how many more you will kill in the future. I like you and decided to make you mine no matter what. You may be the Death Goddess; I don't care. I have already made up my mind; Sera Wexon will be my woman one day.'' Alex proudly declared.
