Binding System

"Yeah. He can't remember most of his memories." Scarlett repeated her words.

Layla's lips curled up into a grin. "Can't remember most of his memories, huh? Are you disappointed that he can't remember all the time he spent with you?"

Scarlett stopped writing and shifted her gaze from the document on her desk to Layla. "So do you know anyone who can break the seal or not?"

"No." Layla responded instantly. "You should go to big city if you want to find someone who can undo the seal on his body."

"You can leave now." Scarlett uttered, "Don't disturb my work anymore."

"So cruel!" Layla was not surprised by her words because she knew her personality well.

"One of my subordinates will send you home now." Scarlett ignored Layla's words.

"Woy! Why are you only kind to Ace? Have you forgotten that I'm your friend? You should treat me wel-" before Layla had finished her words, one of Scarlett's female subordinates dragged her out of the office.

Scarlett pretended as if she did not hear anything.

"Scarlett, I will snatch your Ace as my revenge!" Layla shouted from outside Scarlett's house.

Scarlett took a deep breath before finally exhaling it.

'What should I do now?'

----

Ace took a walk around the city alone.

The smile on his face had faded because everyone greeted him by his nickname.

City mistress' toy boy!

Sure, they greeted him with smiles on their faces, but they always called him toy boy when they greeted him.

'Huft! I know they have no bad intentions to me, but calling me toy boy still hurt my pride.'

Previously, some of them chatted with him, but they never called him by his name.

They always called him by his nickname. He had told them to call him by his name, but they only laughed, saying his nickname was cooler than his name.

"I'm home." He immediately headed to the family room and sat on the couch.

'Where is Scarlett? Is she in her office?'

He rose to his feet and headed to her office.

"Scarlett, are you there?" he said as he knocked on the door.

'Is she not in her office?'

He knocked on the door again.

Like before, no one answered him. For this reason, he tried to open the door.

'Eh? The door is not locked?!'

He was startled when he knew that the door was not locked.

'So, she is sleeping, huh? No wonder no one answered me before.'

He did not close the door and instantly stepped into her office.

Scarlett was currently sleeping on her desk. From her sleeping position, he could tell that she fell asleep when she was working.

'Her back will hurt if she continues to sleep in this position.'

She was sleeping in a bad position, so he was sure her back would hurt when she woke up later.

For this reason, he tapped her shoulders gently and spoke, "Scarlett, wake up. You should not sleep like this or else it will be bad for your body later."

Scarlett was sleeping, so she did not hear his words.

'It seems that being a city lord is not an easy job.'

He looked at the paperwork on her desk before returning his attention to her.

'But at least she should take care of her body, not like this. Sigh!'

After thinking for several seconds, he decided to carry her to her room because it would be bad for her back if she continued sleeping on her desk.

"She looks so tired." He was carrying her in a princess style.

He walked carefully as he did not want to wake her up.

*Click…

Ace could smell Scarlett's scent upon entering her room.

Yes, her room had the same fragrance as hers!

Scarlett's room was huge with a big bed in it. A small wooden table was placed on the right side of the bed, while a cupboard was located on the other side.

Behind the bed, a mountain painting was hanging on the wall. The painting was huge and almost half the size of the bed.

Two large windows with red curtains were located on the right side of the bed, while the makeup table was placed in front of the bed.

There was also a door leading to a private bedroom on the right side of the bed. In short, her bedroom was like a five-star hotel room.

After placing her on the bed, he kissed her forehead gently and spoke, "Have a good dream."

A tiny smile appeared on Scarlett's face after he left her room.

'I didn't expect him to carry me to my room.'

Actually, she was already awake when he carried her to her room, but she kept pretending to be asleep.

'He even kissed my forehead before leaving my room. Even though he doesn't remember most of his memories, but I'm glad he still treats me well as usual.'

The smile on her pretty face grew bigger.

'It seems like I will have good dream later.'

She slowly shut her eyes.

At the same time, Ace was sitting on his bed. Anyone would think of him as a crazy young man if they saw him because he was talking to himself.

No, he was not talking to himself.

He was talking to Goddess Teressa!

However, no one would believe it because he was talking with Goddess Teressa through his system.

"Goddess Teressa, can you let me be a unique magician?" he wore a pleading face.

A unique Magician was a mage who could use magic without chanting magic spells.

Usually, mages needed to cast spells before using magic because magic spells were the only way to borrow Goddess Teressa's power to convert the energy of heaven and earth into mana.

If mages were people who got acknowledged by Goddess Teressa, then unique magicians were people who got chosen by her because she allowed them to borrow her power without chanting magic spells.

However, it wasn't easy to be a unique magician because the requirement was that they had to do something she liked or piqued her interest.

They were only human beings, so they did not know what Goddess Teressa loved.

If they were lucky, they could become unique magicians in a short amount of time, but if they were unlucky, it would take them many years to be one.

There was even a high possibility that they wouldn't be able to become unique magicians because Goddess Teressa was a picky goddess.

This was the reason why unique magicians were as rare as Aeris because they needed time and luck to become one.

At first, Ace wanted to use normal methods to become a unique magician, but he changed his mind.

The reason was simple.

He could talk with Goddess Teressa directly!

It would have taken him years to attract Goddess Teressa's attention, so he chose a shortcut.

Why did he have to use the hard way if he could use the easy way?

This was the reason why he immediately talked to her after stepping into his room.

[Goddess Teressa says you can become Aeris in the future, so why do you still want to be a unique magician?]

"Because chanting magic spells takes time." There were two reasons why he wanted to be a unique magician.

First, chanting magic spells took time. His life would be in danger if his enemy attacked him when he was chanting magic spells.

And last, it was because of Evelyn.

Yes, she was also the reason why he wanted to be a unique magician.

She used magic without chanting magic spells when she fought the Winged Tiger. She looked so cool at that time, so he wanted to be like her.

If she was a unique magician, then as her binding partner, he had to be one too.

After all, he had promised to be stronger than her and protect her. "That's why I hope you can make me a unique magician too."

[Several Divine beings are looking at Goddess Teressa.]

[Goddess Teressa is touching her chin, thinking about your request.]

After several seconds, a notification from Goddess Teressa popped up.
