Binding System-Chapter 189 Festival

"Vice leader, what should we do with that young man?" the demi-human cat inquired. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒏𝙚𝙩

The cat had the body of a human with cute black cat ears and a tail on her butt. Her blue eyes matched perfectly with her long black hair.

Even though she looked like a teenager, she was already in her late twenties. The name of this girl was Leena, one of the strongest members of the Phoenix organization.

"There are two options." A beautiful elf, who was sitting on the opposite side of Leena, responded.

This attractive elf had long golden hair and blue eyes. Unlike most female elves, she had big breasts.

The name of this elf was Sylvia L. Greenwood, the vice leader of the Phoenix organization.

"What is it?" a night elf asked curiously.

Like Silvia, this night elf also had big breasts and a beautiful face. She had long black hair and brown eyes.

Even though she had dark skin, it did not reduce her beauty; instead, it made her look more attractive.

The name of this night elf was Viviya Silversky, an awakener at Master rank.

"The first option is to ask him to return the Phoenix sword to us." Silvia spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "The second option is to make him our leader."

"Make him our leader?" the beautiful fox said in surprise.

Like Leena, this fox had a human body.

Her long pink hair matched perfectly with her pink eyes. Even though she belonged to the nine-tailed fox race, she currently only had three tails.

Of course, she could become a nine-tailed fox in the future, but she had to get stronger first to do that.

"Yes." Silvia responded, "He can become our leader, but he has to defeat us first. I don't want a leader who is weaker than us."

"But he is male. Isn't our organization a women's organization?" Viviya inquired.

"It can't be helped." Silvia responded, "The Phoenix sword is in his hands, so it's like he is the successor of our leader."

"But what if he is a bad young man?" Renea did not want to have a bad leader.

"That's why we will test him first." Of course, Silvia also did not want to have a bad leader because it could ruin their organization. "If he is a bad person, we will reject him."

"I agreed with this idea." Leena spoke.

As they were talking seriously, Neia ran into the living room.

"Vice leader, good news." Neia said as she breathed heavily. "I have good news."

Silvia and the others turned their heads toward Neia.

"Good news? What is it?" Silvia asked curiously.

"I saw him earlier." Neia responded, "Ace is in this city now."

"Ace? Do you mean the young man who has our leader's sword?" Viviya inquired.

"Yes. I saw him with a beautiful woman earlier. It seems like he has found his friend." Ace told Neia that he looked for his friend when they met, so she believed Lieutenant Valeria was his friend.

"Where does he stay?" Silvia inquired.

"About that…" Neia could not answer Silvia's question because she returned to her organization right after seeing Ace. "…I don't know. I return right after seeing him."

Silvia could not help but sigh. "Renea, bring a few people with you and find out where he stays. Don't expose yourself immediately. We will talk to him tomorrow if you can find where he stays today."

"Alright." Renea rose to her feet and walked toward Neia. "Let's go, Neia."

"Un." Neia nodded her head.

"Ace, let's find a place to rest." It was already 04:00 pm, so Lieutenant Valeria was tired.

Sure, the festival was amazing, but they had been walking since morning, so it was normal if she was tired.

"Alright." He agreed instantly because he was also tired.

To their surprise, they saw a park not far from them.

"How about we rest in the park?" he inquired.

"Sure." From her point of view, it was not a bad idea to rest at the park.

On their way to the park, a kid about twelve years old stopped them. The kid was cute and carrying a basket full of red roses.

"Big brother, do you want to buy a rose for your beautiful girlfriend?" the little girl thought Ace and Lieutenant Valeria were a couple because they were walking hand in hand.

Ace and Lieutenant Valeria stopped their footsteps.

At this moment, Lieutenant Valeria was shocked and shy because the little girl said she was Ace's lover.

Of course, she tried her best to hide it because she did not want him to see her flushed face.

'Naughty little girl!'

Even though she heard the little girl's words clearly, she did not try to explain that she was not his lover because she had accepted her feelings for him.

She let the misunderstandings continue and just stared at Ace, wanting to see what he would do.

Ace smiled softly before finally asking, "How much does it cost?"

"Fifteen copper coins for one rose." The little girl answered.

Ace retrieved fifteen copper coins from his space ring and gave it to her. "Here, fifteen copper coins."

The little girl took the money happily.

After giving the rose to Ace, she waved goodbye. "Thank you, big brother. I hope you have a nice day with your girlfriend."

Ace stared at the little girl and uttered, "Where did she learn such words?"

"Maybe her parents taught her about it." Actually, Lieutenant Valeria was also curious about it.

Ace immediately gave the rose to her. "I present this rose for you, Lieutenant Valeria. A beautiful rose for a beautiful lady."

Actually, he wanted to use romantic words, but he changed his mind.

Even though she knew he would give the rose to her, she was still pleased when he presented it to her.

Due to how happy she was, she even felt like her feet barely touched the ground.

"Thank you, Ace." She took the rose while showing her soft smile at him.

Ace also showed his soft smile. "Let's go to the park now."

"Un." She nodded her head.

Like before, they walked hand in hand.

They did not feel shy or nervous when they were holding hands, as if it was normal for them to do that.

After walking for several minutes, they finally reached their destination. They immediately looked for a good spot to rest.

"Let's sit on that public seating." Ace said as he pointed his left index finger at the public seating in front of them.

"Un." She nodded her head.

Like before, the duo chatted again after sitting in public seating. At that moment, only two couples were around them, and these two couples sat right before them.

"We should buy snacks and drinks earlier." Ace said when he saw the couple before him eating a snack together.

"We are al- " Lieutenant Valeria stopped her words halfway when she saw what the couples were doing.

'What?!'

She widened her eyes in surprise.

The adult couple was kissing passionately.

As for the young couple, the boyfriend was feeding the girlfriend a snack from mouth to mouth before finally kissing her hungrily.

'Is it normal to kiss in this park?'

That was the question that appeared in her mind.

Ace, who was sitting on her right side, was stunned. "What's wrong?"

Lieutenant Valeria was still in a state of shock, so she did not answer his question and kept looking at what the couples were doing.

"Is ther-"like Lieutenant Valeria, Ace was also stunned when he saw what they were doing.

'Are we allowed to do that in this park?"

It was their first time coming to that park, so he did not know what the locals did in the park.

Even though these couples knew that Ace and Lieutenant Valeria was looking at them, they did not show the slightest care about it.

They kept kissing passionately as if they were alone in the park.

After looking at them for several seconds, Ace and Lieutenant Valeria looked at each other.

*Thump…thump…thump…

Their hearts suddenly beat fast when they looked into each other's eyes.

Not only that, but they suddenly remembered the time when they kissed in a cave a few days ago.

Maybe because these couples were kissing passionately in front of them or perhaps because they recalled the time when they kissed in a cave, but at that time, a desire to kiss suddenly arose within them.

That desire grew bigger and bigger to the point that they almost could not hold back anymore.

"Huft…huft…Huft…" because the flames of lust had consumed their bodies, the duo suddenly breathed heavily.

Not only that, but they also opened their mouths slightly as if they were ready to kiss passionately like the couples in front of them.

"Ace…" when Lieutenant Valeria saw his black eyes, she suddenly felt as if his black eyes became tiny black holes, sucking her soul into them.

Like her, Ace also could not control himself when he saw her pretty eyes. He even felt as if there was a magnet between her eyes and his body.

"Lieutenant Valeria…" Ace slowly cupped her pretty face.

Despite knowing what he was going to do, Lieutenant Valeria did not stop them; instead, she slowly closed her eyes, giving him a sign that she was ready to welcome the kiss.

Ace, who was unable to control his desire to kiss her, slowly brought his face closer to hers.

'Lieutenant Valeria…'

In less than five seconds, their lips finally met.

When many people were enjoying the festival, Ace and Lieutenant Valeria kissed in the park.
