7 Amnesia
Holy light twinkles even with the skylight.
Fragmented light shined brighter, blinding them for a moment.
It covered the young master Gaun's cut arm.
Soon the bleeding cut was replaced by the light.
It instantly healed young master Gaun back to normal.
The knights were watching closely, their mouths wide open.
Seeing the contrast between evil and good.
Young master Gaun's hideous appearance and holy light's beautiful light made them feel it is what's supposed to be.
A balance of life.
To them, the church is a special place, not inferior or even higher in their eyes, like the nobles.
"A gift?!"
The knights were all stunned and couldn't move.
They turned to look at the young master Gaun's face and healed arm back and forth.
Back and forth.
With the hideous face having the kingdom's most proud magical and most beautiful attribute, the holy light made their mind and hearts conflicted.
'Could it be that the young master-'
They are thinking of how the young master Gaun was given a gift and a holy knight.
However, soon they all looked down.
Young master Gaun's veins were bulging in anger.
His finger crackles with an annoyed expression on his face.
'If these lowly ants think of me or anything, I will bury them alive.'
As if the knights could understand and were terrified of him, they all shut down their minds as they shut their mouths.
Not far away, Leanne and even the knight who were clad in armor also froze in their step.
They are not in awe of what happened earlier but they also do it.
Not though.
'Huh?'
Leanne and the knight clad in armor were staring aimlessly at young master Gaun.
Young master Gaun ignored their looks and eyed the system screen notification with a pleased look.
He flexed his muscles and tightened his fist, making sure his fingers were also locked.
'I've gotten stronger.'
He thought as he looked at the notification of the system again.
'Savings?'
Ding!
[ Will be displayed in the future. ]
Young master Gaun's face changed but only a little and he became relaxed again.
'Finally, I have the power to defend myself against Lawrence.'
Thud! Thud!
Young master Gaun felt a huge presence at his back when he turned around.
He saw Leanne and a knight with a great design on his armor.
'Sigh, here she is again.'
Young master Gaun felt guilty again because he gaslighted Leanne.
However, he didn't have a choice because he could feel that he was going to die at that moment and was right, which was confirmed by the system.
'Things are awkward.'
'How should I escape this situation?'
'Should I just confront her about everything?'
'But I am not the original owner of this body so it's not my business.'
'What to do in this situation?'
'I don't want her to bother me and I also don't want to associate myself with her.'
'However, she is this bastard's wife already.'
'It would be bad if she noticed something is wrong with me.'
Young master Gaun eyed everyone and the knights earlier.
They are still staring at him as if he was a monster.
Probably because too many things are happening at the same time.
Suddenly, a notification made all the hair on his body stand.
Ding!
[ Mission: Accept the insidious flame holder as the wife and pretend to be the original owner of the body. ]
[ Rewards: Plenty but unknown. ]
[ Failure: permanent villain luck that cannot be converted and changed into fear around the important side characters. ]
[ Deny mission: permanent death. ]
Young master Gaun stared at the mission in shock.
'For real?'
'Right now?'
'I can't deny it?'
Young master Gaun's back sweated a little.
He didn't know anything about the original owner of this body.
He didn't receive the memory from the original owner.
'This mission…'
Young master Gaun can see Leanne when he glanced at all the knights around.
'She will notice that something about me changes for sure.'
'I planned to run away and escape and drive her away but she stayed.'
'Now I have this ridiculous mission.'
'How do I escape this situation?'
'A situation where she wouldn't notice me.'
Young master Gaun's brows furrowed.
'With my changes now, it will be obvious if I ask them a lot of stuff about the owner of this body.'
Inside the young master Gaun's heart, he regretted this arc.
'If I didn't skip this part of the novel, I would've known.'
Suddenly, he thought of something.
Then he ran to the center of the knights.
This made Leanne and the knight clad in armor surprised.
They couldn't react and watched.
Young master Gaun extended his hands and pointed his swords at them.
"State your names and intentions!"
This word made them freeze.
As if time had stopped.
Everyone was confused by the sudden event.
Why did he ask this?
They could see that he was trembling.
It was silent, however, his posture was telling them that the young master was serious.
"Knights?"
Young master Gaun pretended.
'Sigh, If I pretend I lost my memory. Maybe that would be an excuse to get away from this relationship, right?'
'Or she would run away from me, right?'
Young master Gaun was wary, however, the latter were all powerful individuals.
Especially Leanne.
He would make one wrong move or decision.
The current young master looks serious.
To make himself look serious, young master Gaun acknowledges he is not the original but someone from planet earth.
Young master Gaun is not sure whether these mages might can tell the truth, or even read his mind.
The best action, for now, was acting, knowing nothing, at the start.
"Young master, she is-?"
The surrounding knights were still dumbstruck.
Leanne however, sent the knights an oppressive magical aura.
This made them stop speaking.
"What?"
Young master Gaun looked at the Knight as if he was interrogating him.
His look was astonishing.
Leanne felt her world buzzing.
She also saw how his husband slashed his hands to bleed and the way it healed.
'Now, why is he acting like this?'
'Isn't this ridiculous?'
Leanne's eyes sharpened.
It releases a glint.
'The arson is also telling that my husband is not telling a lie.'
'Could it be true because of the gift or just another healing potion?'
All of a sudden, the way Leanne looked at him changed.
'If he received a gift, there would be a backlash…'
'The backlash would depend on how rare or strong it was.'
'Had he forgotten everything after awakening!?'
Leanne's eyes twinkled like a star.
Releasing a vibrant fragrance.
On the other side, young master Gaun felt like he made a terrible mistake but he didn't know where.
"You don't remember me?"
Leanne asked, with a sliver of light in her eyes.
Young master almost gulped.
"I don't know who you are, gorgeous lady, you may be beautiful…."
"However, I am someone who cannot trust anyone. Unfortunately, even a beauty like you in this world that's unknown to this gentleman."
Young master Gaun tried to scrutinize this girl from head to toe.
She wanted something from the original body.
It's his conclusion.
He knew there was something this girl needed from the original body.
"I am your beloved wife."
Leanne replied with a bashful look on her face.
Young master Gaun's face reddened at her gesture, and at the way she looks.
Then his eyes twinkled with realization.
'This vixen can endure the curse I had. She is truly impressive but…'
He shook his head inside and analyzed everything.
The conclusion that this girl was dangerous and that he shouldn't lower his guard made his mind calm again.
Young master Gaun looked at the girl and felt this girl had very thick skin.
He cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
"Beloved wife? You are my wife?"
Young master Gaun looked around him, hoping that these guards would also tell him she was not.
However, no one answered.
Young master Gaun smiled inside his head.
As expected from his true angel-face curse.
This is the right time where he could say stuff for this girl to Leanne or to end this relationship.
Since he forgot, he would say she got nothing to do with him anymore.
She can Leave.
She is free.
She can now find someone to love.
He would be free.
However, as the young master Gaun thought of that, Leanne suddenly gave him an eerie smile.
"Yes, I am your beloved wife. You only forgot because you received a gift and awakened your holy power."
"You have forgotten about me, my love but I won't leave you behind."
"This is the most critical time when you need me the most."
Young master Gaun froze upon hearing this.
In this novel, when a mage awakens, some of them would receive gifts.
However, it was so rare for one to awaken such gifts because even if someone receives one, a repercussion would also come along with it.
Simply put, a curse or a blessing and sometimes both.
For example, if one awakened a dark magic attribute with a swallowing ability that is connected to the demon Beelzebub, they would get so fat.
If it's wrath like berserk, they would become so ugly and scary at the same time.
For the Light attribute, if they have awakened a unique power while still virgin which is connected to Uriel, they would become so handsome or pretty.
Another light attribute is if they have incredible stamina which is connected to Gabriel, they would always be admired by people.
And a lot more…
Just like his gift of extra life with a curse called True Angel Face.
Seeing the look on young master Gaun's face, Leanne became confused again.
"You don't remember me? You said that you would do anything for me."
Sweat trickled on the young master Gaun's back.
He didn't expect that this cheeky woman would take this opportunity.
"You would give anything I desire and protect me from any harm."
Leanne who was always serious earlier acted like she is a frail girl.
Young master Gaun was feeling his fantasy world was being invaded…
'Sh*t! I should've told her I don't want her!'
He knew that the magical order of the woman was high, so he didn't resist if she killed him again.
However, seeing how she acts right now feels like a nightmare.
'In the future, if I do not drive this woman out of my life.'
'I would receive thousands of assassination plots and schemes from that crazy king who is so obsessed with you.'
'I don't want to court de-!?'
However, young master Gaun stopped at that point as he realized something very important.
