Merlin added, "Even before he met you, he used to kill at least ten people every day. He killed anyone who annoyed him. The smell of blood was so thick that it could be smelled from anywhere in the tower. Ovior couldn't take this bloodshed anymore. He got fed up."
"What did he do?" Veronica inquired.
Darius replied for Merlin, "He simply kicked him out and told him to calm down his blood lust. He even said that Arthur could fool around with women if he wanted to. Ovior wants him to do anything to control his bloodlust."
"So, that's how he ended up in Utahill." Veronica was asking herself why he went to Utahill when Tybu was so far away from Utahill.
Utahill is on the northwest border and Tybu is on the southeast border. There are at least five kingdoms and one great empire between these two countries.
"I still don't believe he can kill mercilessly," Veronica commented. She would never believe it even if Arthur told her himself. After the kindness and caring he showed, she could never imagine him killing people in cold blood.
Merlin hesitated before asking her, "I don't mean to pry but did you ever see him killing people?"
Veronica told him, "He always told me to close my eyes when he killed people."
Darius stated, "This is the reason you didn't see him smiling when he kills off his enemy. He kills them slowly and makes them beg for their lives."
Veronica instantly denied his claim, "No way! He kills quickly without letting them talk. He uses his sword to fight. How can he kill slowly with that."
Darius was dumbstruck. "Huh?! Did he truly change after fooling around with women?"
"It seems like it," Merlin remarked. It was hard for him to believe that as well. He knew Arthur since he was young. He learned to fear Arthur the moment he heard of him.
Darius put his arms on his waist. "Maybe Ovior's theory was correct. If you sleep with women, your blood thirst will reduce."
"…" Veronica felt uncomfortable just thinking about that. She didn't want to imagine Arthur sleeping with other women. Although he did sleep around before he met her, it was unpleasant to think about it.
She wasn't trying to become overbearing. She knew his past had nothing to do with her. That's why she could never be upset about it. Just like he couldn't be upset or forceful about her past. She accepted him knowing what kind of person he was in the past. She had no right to complain. Even so, it pricked her if someone mentioned his playboy past. She couldn't help but get jealous.
Merlin noticed her grim expression and realized that Darius's words made her upset. 'This is bad. If she gets upset with us, Arthur will surely kill us. Although it doesn't seem like he truly likes her, we still have to be cautious.' He jabbed his fellow mate's arm and tried to change the subject by saying, "Maybe it's because after Arthur met her, he became gentle."
"Oh, that can be too." Darius looked at Veronica and inquired, "Was he good in bed? Was he gentle or forceful?"
"Wha-" Veronica was completely flustered.
Merlin slapped his face inwardly. 'I can't believe he just asks a lady this question.'

After touring several floors, Veronica became tired. They said there were more than three hundred floors in the Magic Tower and most of them were dangerous areas because explosions could happen at any time. Magicians could block them with magic but for her, it would be dangerous to go there alone.
Using a magical escalator, Merlin took her to Arthur's office. The magical escalator was like a magic carpet but it was made of silver. It could fly to where a magician would command it to go.
Veronica thought her heart would fly away. It was her first time flying like this.
Ovior and Arthur were still talking in the office. Upon hearing a knock on the door, Ovior opened the door using magic and found Veronica and Merlin. Merlin gave them a small bow before leaving.
Ovior also stood up. "I shall leave then. I hope you can finish the paperwork before the wedding." When he walked past Veronica, he nodded slightly. She did the same.
After he left, Veronica entered the room. When she tried to close the door, the door automatically closed, giving her a jump. "What was that?" she turned to look at him.
Arthur smirked and lowered his hand. It seemed that he used magic to shut the door and lock it. He moved his finger, signaling her to go close to him. "Come here," he said.
Veronica's heart skipped a beat as she saw the teasing smile on his face. She stepped forward and complained, "You gave me a fright."
When she moved closer, he reached out and pulled her in his arms. She fell on his lap. "You have to get used to it from now on."
Veronica reached out and touched his face. She had already prepared her heart and asked him, "You don't look well since you met your friends. Did you not want me to know that you were the Master of the magic Tower?"
Arthur stayed quiet for a while before answering, "I had a plan. After we married, I wanted to use my magic to bring you here and surprise you. Then, I wanted to give you this." He placed something in her hand.
Veronica looked down and saw a ring with red stone. The red stone was glowing at her touch as though it found its rightful owner. "This is…"
Arthur explained, "This is the ring that every Mistress of the Magic Tower wore for generations. When the Master finds his sole partner, the ring reacts to that woman. It's the same for you and me."
Veronica's heartbeat increased. She didn't know what to say. To be with his rightful partner, there was nothing she wanted more than that.
"I heard that you were a merciless killer."
"Are you scared of me now?"
