Quick Transmigration: Manual Mode [BL]

4.7 'Didn't the plot already collapse?'

"Wait! What if they have those bombs again?" Aeson whispered as he remembered his miserable experience just the other day.

"Don't worry, I dismantled it the moment they appeared." Alfred turned around and pulled Aeson behind him. Hearing that assurance, Aeson breathed out a sigh of relief.

The wizard leaned down to kiss the elf's forehead then took the necklace from his hand. He had to put it on to not reveal his little cutie's secret.

After seeing the human ears again, Alfred changed his tender eyes to smug ones when facing the Duke again.

Meanwhile, the Duke threw his sword away and was helping the blood-drenched saint up. Then he immediately stepped away from her.

Liliana felt like her knees were made of jelly, she had to support her hands on her knees before running to Aeson. Aeson looked like the weakest person here among these three.

Aeson:"..."

"Great Wizard Alfred?" Angus, the Duke, had a look of surprise on his face.

"Yes, I wonder why are you here, Duke Barrera? Aren't you in the capital? And what's with this discriminatory killing?" Alfred raised one of his eyebrows, showing no fears but only curiosity. He also used his magic to clean up the saint because the smell of blood might make his cutie feel unpleasant.

"...Do you happen to know these people?" Angus's eyes glanced at the dead bodies. Even though they were dead, a killing intent emitted from his dark eyes. Then when he moved his sight to the head hiding behind Aeson's back, the murderous aura disappeared completely.

Aeson witnessed this change and found it amusing. The saint and the Duke had a similar meeting just like in the novel. Even though there was doubt, the novel Duke could not bear for her to suffer in his territory.

"Who is that girl being chased by them?" Angus kept asking one question after another.

Aeson glanced back and forth between his lover and the Duke with black lines on his face. This was a stalemate because no one wanted to reveal any information. Why was his lover here? Why was the Duke here? What happened to the heroine?

'Didn't the plot already collapse?' Aeson just felt dizzy.

Alfred sensed the elf's mood fluctuation so his hand reached behind his back to soothe him. This made Aeson feel warm in his heart and his eyes became tender and full of love. The wizard also looked back at him with the same gaze and his smug face turned soft.

Angus and Liliana: '...We're still here...'

After a few minutes, Aeson introduced himself as an informer. Alfred was unsatisfied so he added that Aeson was his sweetheart which Angus felt unnecessary. What the Duke felt curious about was the identity of the platinum hair woman that they were shielding. Aeson was getting sick of no one willing to share information so he requested to go to a private place. They had been standing in the open for almost an hour.

Naturally, Alfred already cast an illusion to hide the party and the corpses from other people's eyes. Then he snapped his fingers, seemingly teleporting the corpses to other places. Angus frowned at that but he knew they had to move away from the crowd to not alert any of the cult's comrades.

When they moved, Aeson could feel glances from Angus toward Liliana every now and then, his eyes filled with curiosity, fascination, and some other emotions, which made Aeson slightly curl his lips. But those glances made her nervous so she tried to grip Aeson's clothes to hide away. Unfortunately, she had no chance because Alfred would push him closer every time it happened. Aeson could only shake his head.
