Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 985 273: Starry Promise Under the Moon, Elanna’s Confession, and the Choice of Destiny (10K)_6

"So we all are visitors from the stars, and fate connects us together, which is the greatest fortune in this world."

Elanna: "Then, if there's a chance, I'll take you to a place where you can see a sky full of stars!"

Kael chuckled at the time: "Then I'll also take you to the place you want to go."

Elanna: "Huh? Why?"

Kael: "You ask why? Of course, it's because I want to see you happy! You decided to take me to see the stars for my sake, and our choices to go to each other, naturally, it's not just about going where I want to go, but taking you where you want to go."

...

The scenes and dialogues emerged like reflections, and the love in Elanna's eyes deepened a bit. After a moment, not sure what she thought of, a trace of hesitancy flashed in her eyes, and she said:

"Kael, aren't you curious why I agreed to that matter so easily that day?"

"Hmm, I've been waiting for you to tell me the reason, after all, the Elanna I know isn't the kind of girl who would give herself away so soon.

Since you did that, there must be some reasons that are inconvenient to express directly."

Kael said softly: "I could have refused, but in the end, I gave up. You may not know how alluring the girl in my arms was that night."

Kael spoke as he gently raised his hand to caress the side of Elanna's face: "At that moment, I couldn't resist. I suppose no man could resist."

Elanna bit her lower lip lightly and said in a low voice: "Actually, at that time, I came to understand one thing."

"Hmm, I'm listening."

Elanna hesitated for a moment, then finally said softly: "Kael, do you remember the time we talked in the study room?"

"Hmm? We talked many times in the study."

"It's the time you told me that our Bell Federation and the Holy Briania will inevitably head towards full-scale war."

"Oh, you're talking about that time!" Kael clapped his hands, then asked, "And then?"

"Kael, actually you... don't love the Federation and this world as much as you show, right?"

Elanna said softly. At this moment, Kael was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Yes, I don't love the Federation and the Shining Continent as much as I express to the outside world.

I am deeply tired of war, yet I know that on the Shining Continent, the endless Dungeon conquests and the conflicts between countries, the conflicts between the continent's races and deities, are almost inevitable.

I love some people on this continent and am willing to fight alongside them... but it's just you all, not the Federation and the continent itself."

This statement is half-true and half-false.

For Kael, the true reason why he couldn't integrate fully was because the other half of his soul came from the Human Federation, from Ning Ruyu of the Human Federation.

Therefore, expecting Kael to hold too much expectation for this world is indeed a bit difficult for him.

"Would this make you dislike such a version of me?" Surprisingly, Kael hesitated as he said such a sentence.

Elanna firmly shook her head and said, "Of course not, it's because of my own problem."

"Your own problem?" Kael asked in confusion.

"Kael, my family, my education, my experience, all tell me that I ought to fight for this Federation that nurtures me. I have the talent, I have the strength, and I'm even more willing to personally sever the enemy's throat."

Elanna said very seriously: "So, I understood very early on that once Bell Federation and Holy Briania clash, I, Elanna Newman, a knight candidate, will surely fight to protect the country that gave me life and raised me."

At this moment, Elanna's wine-red hair cascaded down, no longer blooming like a red rose, beautiful yet thorny...

Such a description is undoubtedly inappropriate for Elanna.

Her expression was so serious, and when she spoke these words, her eyes carried a determined will, like a blazing flame.

Clean and pure.

"So then?" Kael laughed.

"So, at that time I made a very selfish decision... if possible, let Kael experience what it feels like, and if, by any chance, a hit to the target occurs, then I'll stay in Lancaster, peacefully nurture the fetus, and after giving birth, head to the battlefield.

If most unfortunate... we couldn't keep our child, then I will embark on a trial road, and after enduring countless tests, when the war breaks out, it will be the time to fulfill my knight's vow.

The battlefield does not believe in tears, neither you nor I can guarantee our safe return from a war, and if we can't come back, then we just can't return. At least at the moment of death, I can still recall that night.

The only regret being that my story with you will come to an end at that time."

Kael silently watched the girl gaze at the bright moonlight, murmured softly, gently caressing her cheek, and said:

"The Elanna I know is a knight princess who musters the courage to never look back once she has set her mind on her goal. Is there a possibility... that many years ago, when we started to deeply understand each other, I was already mentally prepared, and willing to, at a critical moment, employ the power I hold to protect those people and things I truly want to protect?"

"Does this... make me seem very selfish?" Elanna said softly.

Kael arose from Elanna's embrace, lifted her face, and in an unexpected moment, blocked all the thoughts she wanted to voice with a kiss.

When Kael slowly parted from her slightly reddened lips, he raised an eyebrow and said:

"The power I seek comes from protecting those who are dear to me and who cherish me. The ultimate goal of this power is not merely self-defense.

But when fate forces us to make choices, I can still protect those I wish to protect within those not-so-beautiful choices.

So, Elanna, pursue your goals and ideals. When you encounter danger, just call my name, wherever you are, I will come to your side."
