I just covet their strength

Chapter 19 Withered Glory Sun

"Do you even have to lecture me? That's almost it."

Westhead directly dismissed the topic and took out the card box:
"My opinion is that instead of discussing those bad things, it's better to play a game of [Endless War Chess]. I just brought the deck."

Westhead suggested: "This game is not bad as a pastime. If you have never played it once, you have to give it a try."

"I still think"

Westhead turned around directly: "If you don't want to play, then there's no point in staying here anymore, so I'm leaving."

".I understand. Let's play chess."

It became increasingly difficult for Lesia to refuse Westhead's request.

So the two sat down in the study room of the palace, and Westhead, as a master in the field of war chess, began to patiently teach Lesia the rules of the "Endless War Chess".

The silver-haired princess is quite smart and can pick up the skills very quickly. Once she is familiar with the rules, she can play a teaching game with Westhead in style.

Although [Endless Chess] seems to be only moderately interesting to Lesia, what she cares about is never what she does, but who she does it with.

She felt relaxed and happy no matter what she did during her interactions with Westhead.

Lesia was playing chess one after another, with her head resting on the table, quietly looking at Duke Qinghui's handsome face illuminated by the light, but her eyebrows were always slightly frowning, betraying her mood. No relief.

The pleasant afternoon time passed quickly, and when the light projected from the window became dim, Westhead also stood up with unfinished content:

"It seems that we can only stop here today. I had some good ideas for a few games, but it's a pity that you still have something on your mind."

Leixia blinked her long, slightly curved eyelashes, clenched her fists and said, "I just realized how much misfortune I have brought to Weiss."

Westhead immediately interrupted: "This has nothing to do with you. You did nothing wrong from beginning to end. This is my decision."

"I decided to ignore other people's opinions and criticisms. I decided to give up the aid and support of regaining my homeland. I decided to be friends with you and bear all the corresponding consequences. This decision has nothing to do with you, whether you accept it or not. "

As always, answer without hesitation.

However, this time Lesia was no longer satisfied with Westhead's firm answer.

She raised her head and said calmly:
"idiot."

"Whatever you say, I don't care."

The silver-haired princess shook her head and said:

"Why? Weiss, why do you have to be so persistent?"

Even if Westhead was a madman who didn't respect the Gods, and a scum who didn't care about his family, how crazy would it be for him to give up the power, status and wealth that were within his reach for a useless person like himself?

Although she was sure that the man was not pretending, love and hate did not exist for no reason in the world, and Lesia asked herself, but she could not find anything in herself that Westhead could like.

"Do you have to tell me the reason?"

Westhead smiled, then pondered for a moment, staring at the silver-haired princess with extremely sincere eyes:
"The moment I met you, I was thinking how amazing it would be to share my life with you."

The silver-haired dragon girl's pupils trembled: "Shared. Life?"

Westhead took Lesia's left hand and said with sincere enthusiasm:

"Your tenacity, your uniqueness, your beauty, if you can share it with me, there is nothing more you can ask for. I hope to share this with you, and I long to share this with you."

It means tough templates, unique mechanics, and beautiful stats—and that’s absolutely true.

Lesia raised her head, her blue and purple eyes staring blankly into the eyes of the man in front of her.

That kind of extremely firm will, almost as solid as steel, leaves no room for doubt.

What a decisiveness.

"Is my nightmare-like life worth sharing?"

The girl's face was expressionless, but her voice kept trembling.

Westhead said without hesitation: "It's as sweet as sugar!"

After the silver-haired princess was stunned for a moment, her cold and delicate face changed. She lowered her eyes slightly and raised the corners of her mouth.

A bright smile appeared on Reshia's face that should not have appeared on her face. "Is that so? I see. I see."

Lesia held Westhead's hand with her backhand, lowered her head and pressed her intact side face against it, feeling the warmth of the other person's palm:
"I'm sorry. I can't help myself. Can you let me do this?"

"It doesn't matter, you can stick it on for as long as you want. As long as you need it, you can rely on my arms and arms at any time."

Naturally, Westhead would not dislike Lesia's favorability level being raised too high, so he immediately replied.

".Thanks, but that's enough, I'm not relying on anything."

Lesia lowered her head and spoke softly.

The hard ice in the girl's beautiful eyes melted at this moment, breaking into a softer mist, moistening her eyes.

However, Westhead did not notice this small detail, because Lesia closed her eyes the next moment.

She didn't say anything, she just felt it silently.

Although Westhead didn't know what Lesia was thinking, he still patted the silver-haired princess' back in cooperation.

[The web of love you weaved has paid off]

[You have shared the talent of "Laysia Shining Leaf" [Withered Glory Sun]]

【Withered glory sun】

[The embodiment of the power controlled by the Most Glory Holy Tree, the most outstanding descendants of the Holy Tree manifest themselves with their will. Those who have been washed away by the glory of the years, thousands of shining lights will praise them, hundreds of millions of living beings will bless them, you are the elders. , our symbiosis]

[Gain extreme regeneration and adaptability, and great immunity to negative states such as poison, weakness, curse, suppression, etc.]

".Um?"

The sudden pop-up reminder stopped Westhead's thinking for a few seconds, followed by an unexpected burst of ecstasy.

【Wither glory Yang】! It's one of the T0 talents that Westhead wants to get from Lesia!

All the efforts he put into it were not in vain, and he used all kinds of tricks.

You deserve this reward for your merits in several battles!
Westhead trembled slightly, trying hard to suppress the excitement that wanted to roar out, so as not to disturb the silver-haired princess.

It was not until after a long period of silence that Lesia reluctantly left and looked at Westhead.

"See you next time?"

Westhead saw Lesia just staring at him without saying a word, so he tentatively said goodbye.

Now he can't wait to test the shared talent.

"Well, will you come tomorrow?"

The silver-haired princess nodded slightly, her tone calm and gentle.

".I will come, as long as I am allowed to."

Westhead looked into Lesia's magnificent and soft eyes, and he found that there was no ice-like cold shell in the glazed pupils that were mixed with blue and cyan purple.

Only a shining attachment remains.

Since [Given by Heart and Soul] takes effect, it also means that Lesia has a clear love for him.

How should I put it, I feel a bit ashamed of playing with a girl’s pure and precious feelings.

However, Westhead quickly suppressed this feeling of guilt and looked at Lesia again to strengthen his inner belief.

Girl, don't blame me for being mean.

These are all necessary means to ascend to the position of the strongest.

Don't worry, since you have paved the way for me to become a god, I will naturally not treat you badly in the future.

After the work is completed, you can choose the position that the five great leaders will follow!
