Binding System



In the busy street, a young lady was walking with a smile on her face.

Even though she only wore ordinary clothes, but every man stole glanced at her when she walked past them.

The reason for this was simple.

It was because the young lady was attractive!

Her long black hair descended to her waist like a waterfall, and the soft smile on her face made her more attractive.

That young lady was none other than Valeria Mils, the most beautiful woman in the city guards.

'This city is indeed beautiful.'

The smile on her face grew bigger when she saw the busy street.

'I will protect this city and the citizen.'

She shifted her gaze from the road to the beautiful stars in the dark sky.

'The sky is also beautiful.'

Because she was walking while looking at the sky, she slipped.

Bang!

She bumped into the person in front of her before finally falling to the ground.

"I'm sor-" she stopped her words halfway.

'Ace?!'

She did not expect to bump into Ace.

Like Lieutenant Valeria, Ace was also shocked.

'Lieutenant Valeria?'

Of course, he did not show it on his face.

"Are you alright, Lieutenant Valeria?" after standing up, he stretched out his right hand, trying to help Lieutenant Valeria up.

She grabbed his right hand. "I'm fine. I'm sorry for bumping into you."

"It's fine." He showed his soft smile.

"What are you doi-" Lieutenant Valeria stopped her words halfway when the sound of a kid crying reverberated in the entire area.

"Waaa…" a kid, about ten years old, cried loudly. "Wua…Sob…Sob…"

Ace and Lieutenant Valeria turned their heads toward the source of the sound. When they saw a kid crying on the road, they walked closer to the kid.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Ace inquired.

"I can't find my mother. Waa…" The kid did not stop crying.

"Don't cry. How about we help you find your mother now?" Lieutenant Valeria wanted to help the kid after discovering what was happening.

"Yes. We will help you find your mother." Ace added.

"Really?" the kid inquired.

"Yes." Lieutenant Valeria nodded as she smiled, "But you have to stop crying first."

The kid immediately wiped off her tears with her sleeve. "I'm not crying."

She looked so cute when she tried her best not to cry.

"Then let's find your mother now." After saying that, Ace held her right hand.

"Un." The kid nodded her head.

"What is your name?" Lieutenant Valeria inquired.

"My name is Lily." Lily responded.

"Can you tell us what your mother looks like?" Lieutenant Valeria threw another question at Lily.

"My mother's name is Lisa." Lily responded, "My mother has long red hair and blue eyes. She is wearing a white T-Shirt and a long black skirt." 

Lily was currently walking between Ace and Lieutenant Valeria. She held their hands as she walked.

At that moment, the trio looked like a family who took a walk around the city at night.

"My mother still looks young and also beautiful like you, big sister." After saying that, Lily looked at Lieutenant Valeria.

"Thank you for the compliment." Actually, Lieutenant Valeria was surprised by Lily's words, but she did not show it on her face.

"Don't worry, Lily. We will find your mother quickly." After saying that, Ace created four clones to help them find Lily's mother.

Yes, he made four clones as he walked!

This was one of the advantages of the Unique magician.

They could use magic while walking.

Lieutenant Valeria was startled when she saw four Ace.

'Are they clones?'

She immediately shifted her gaze to Ace after his clones disappeared.

'Ah, right. He is also a mage.'

Previously, she forgot that Ace was also a mage.

"Un." Lily nodded her head.

With the help of his clones, they could find Lily's mother quickly.

"Thank you very much." Lisa thanked Ace and Lieutenant Valeria for bringing her daughter to her.

"You are welcome." Ace smiled softly.

"Then we will return home now." Lisa uttered.

"Bye-bye, big sister, big brother." Lily waved as she walked.

"Bye-bye." Ace and Lieutenant Valeria waved as they smiled.

They were happy because they could help Lily find her mother.

'Lily is so cute.'

Ace and Lieutenant Valeria were still standing on the road.

Like before, the road was busy. 

There were many people on the road.

Lieutenant Valeria and Ace even could hear their laughter and conversation.

*Swoosh… 

As Ace and Lieutenant Valeria were standing on the road, a strong wind hit their bodies, causing their hair to dance softly.

The wind also blew a small leaf into mid-air.

eαglesnᴏνel Shortly after that, the orange leaf fell on Lieutenant Valeria's head.

Of course, she did not notice this because the leaf was small.

However, Ace noticed it because he was in front of her now.

'A leaf?'

He did not tell her about it and wanted to take it.

At that moment, he forgot it could cause misunderstanding because he was used to living in the modern world.

Lieutenant Valeria, who was standing in front of him, was startled. 

'What are you going to do? Why are you moving your right hand closer to my head? Are you going to touch my head?' 

Countless questions appeared in her mind.

But despite knowing what he was going to do, she did not stop him.

No!

She did not stop him and only stared at him because she was still in a state of shock.

'But why do you suddenly want to touch my head? We don't have a special relationship, so you can't do this.'

She was overthinking because no man caressed her head until now.

"There was a leaf on your head." Ace smiled as he showed the orange leaf to Lieutenant Valeria.

Lieutenant Valeria finally understood everything.

He did not want to caress her head.

He only wanted to take out a leaf from her head.

In other words, she misunderstood him.

"Thank you." She still managed to control her emotions, causing Ace to be unable to know what she had in mind.

"Oh right, Lieutenant Valeria. Do you want to go somewhere earlier?" he inquired.

"I only wanted to ta-" before she had finished her words, something unexpected happened.

Her stomach was growling!

She only ate a snack this afternoon, so she was starving.

'Bad stomach!'

She hit her stomach gently.

"I'm hungry." Even though she felt shy, she tried her best to act normally.

*Growling…

The sound of stomach rumbling could be heard in their ears.

If previously that sound was from Lieutenant Valeria's stomach, this time, it was from Ace's belly.

Yes, Ace was also hungry!

Even though he had lunch this afternoon, but he trained for more than three hours, so it was normal if he was starving. 

Lieutenant Valeria covered her mouth and giggled. "Hehe."

She did not expect his stomach to growl shortly after that.

It was funny.

It was amusing, as if their stomachs had agreed to growl together.

"I'm hungry too." actually, he felt shy, but he did not show it on his face.

"I can tell by the sound of your stomach growling." Lieutenant Valeria still giggled because everything was funny in her eyes.

"Lieutenant Valeria, do you want to eat dinner with me?" Ace inquired.
