Chapter 74

‘I don’t need something like that.’

I almost pointed out the contradiction in his words, but I stopped myself. I could imagine how much Darcy must have agonized over those words before saying them.

I had a vague idea of what he was going to say.

"I won’t be going with you to the magician’s village."

His opening words aligned perfectly with what I had anticipated.

Seeing that I wasn’t surprised at all, Darcy nodded.@@novelbin@@

"I need to keep an eye on Ryan’s unsettling movements and protect the Etwar Marquisate."

But I knew that wasn’t the only reason.

"And more than anything, I need to prepare to welcome you properly."

The magicians knew about Darcy’s role in their downfall. Rumors had spread that most of Kyes’ victories were due to Darcy, and they knew who had defeated them.

"Don’t bother trying to change people’s minds. They need someone to blame, and choosing me is a reasonable decision."

After offering this warning, Darcy took hold of my shoulders and spoke clearly.

"Listen to what they have to say about me there. And try living without me."

Even after pouring out his heart, Darcy didn’t dare show his selfishness.

"And if you can still live without me, come back and reject my feelings."
