The Transmigrated Novelist

Well just thinking about that seemed to have jinxed the issue as Roy could feel more than a few strong presences approach Alma's courtyard at a fast speed.

"Calm down! Otherwise, both of our plans will go down the drain!"

Even though she was still extremely angry and embarrassed at the moment, hearing Roy's strong and serious warning she had no other choice but to forcefully restrict herself.

It was extremely difficult for her to actually control herself, as Roy immediately laid down on the bed in his usual vegetable like state, and then allowed Alma's remaining ice to freeze over him.

They both looked like they had become two ice statues connected together like they didn't want to allow the world to separate them.

Not long after the presences that Roy had felt running towards this place arrived, only to see the two ice statues in front of them, each of them with their own thoughts and opinions.

The ones who had the ugliest faces were Boris and his Mr. Knight son who seemed unable to believe their eyes.

Mr. Knight was already extremely depressed knowing that Young Noble Timothe had jumped the gun and was ahead of him in taking Alma for himself.

It was extremely unpleasant!

If that wasn't enough, something like this happened inside the Sparrow Merchant Guild quarters, and he was once again reminded of the waste residing in there.

Since he didn't think of Roy as a danger anymore, he had almost completely forgotten about him, but it seemed like his shadow was still residing in there.

Not only that, but it looked clear to him that either Alma was truly in love with him and wanted to respect him that much, or she was just going to use him to block any kind of marriage proposal.

No matter which one it was, Roy remained a big hurdle for whoever wanted to have Alma on their side. A hurdle that would be quite difficult to surpass if he remained alive.

Thinking like that, he already seemed to have decided Roy's death sentence at that moment, and later he was surely going to do something about it.

Right now though, he could only look, and 'admire' Alma and Roy together in that one piece ice statue.

Boris was no different from his son, but instead of hating Roy, he hated Alma, because she was the 'bi*tch' that had enchanted his son and was blocking his bright path and future.

If he could, Boris would have already killed this little bi*tch, or better yet he would have kidnapped her for his son to release all his feelings upon her body.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do that right now, because that would be the same as spoiling all his plans for the future.

Surely Alma's father, his best friend, and the Guild Master of the Sparrow Merchant Guild would make him accountable, and then make him pay for it with his life.

His crime didn't need to be punishable by death, to actually die. The Guild Master was surely awaiting just a good reason to get rid of him, even if it meant endangering himself.

On the other hand, the Guild Master, and the 2nd Elder behind him were actually looking at the scene with displeasure and great disappointment.

This little girl didn't seem to listen to anything they said and even went so far as to pull such a stunt in front of them.

She was truly crossing the limit, not knowing what was good for her and always doing whatever she wanted to do.

"Haiz~! This unruly child!"

With those words, the Guild Master just threw a look to the 2nd Elder who immediately used his Fire Magic to melt the ice around the two bodies on the bed.

Alma was the first to get out of the ice, as she was the important piece of the puzzle, they didn't really care much for Roy.

Due to the events of before, Alma's face was still a bit red, her eyes as well as she had been extremely close to crying a moment ago.

Fortunately or unfortunately though, to the Masters that had intruded upon this moment, this scene looked just like some romantic moment in a movie, where the girl and the boy express their deep love to each other.

"Father, I…"

"Haiz~! Don't talk anymore, we don't have another choice right now! Whether you like it or not you will have to agree to Young Noble Timothe's marriage proposal.

It will be better if you accept, otherwise you will force me to act and force you, which is something I don't like to do, but that will do if necessary."

With that said he didn't wait for an answer and left the place, while the 2nd Elder followed behind him, while Boris and Mr. Knight were looking at the situation with a gloomy expression.

Mr. Knight seemed like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just turned around and left without saying a thing.

Boris didn't linger there either as he also turned around and left the place, while Roy and Alma were once again the only people left in there.

"You damn bastard! It's all your fault!"

As she was about to punch into him with Ice Magic in order to undo the ice surroundings his body that was more than half inside the ice, she stopped.

Looking at him like that, she seemed to have gained a good idea, and said,

"It seems like I have wasted a lot of Magic Power and I can't relieve you from your current state!

I am really sorry but you will have to suffer for some time!"

While on the outside she looked fully apologetic of the situation, inside she was chuckling and grinning ear to ear like some demon, thinking,

'Hmph~! You dared to treat me like that, and even force me to show an embarrassing side of myself! If I don't make you suffer, people will think that this little grandaunt is easy to bully!'

Eric could clearly hear her thoughts from her expression, even though she was saying nothing. If it weren't for that guy on top of the courtyard eavesdropping on the situation he would have already spanked her again.

Unfortunately, right now it was impossible and he could only suffer in silence. Still, he made a mental note to himself to take proper care of the beauty once he had the opportunity.

On top of the courtyard, Mr. Knight was eavesdropping on what was happening inside, while Boris was a little bit farther away looking at his son.

While Boris was actually worried about his son and his mental state, his son was actually eavesdropping because he felt something was wrong.

He had no idea what it was, and why, but there was definitely something wrong. Something didn't match with this whole situation, even though he couldn't pinpoint it.

Alma's actions and words surprised him a bit, as Alma seemed like she was holding a bit of resentment towards the guy, but it was looked more like a girl in love resentment.

Could it be that she had truly fallen deeply for that guy and that these were her true feelings? Would she truly prefer to get frozen together with that guy rather than marry Young Noble Timothe or him?

It couldn't be, right!?

Just what was so special about this guy? Surely he had some looks but beyond that what? Surely he was strong, but didn't he end up in a vegetable in the end?

He didn't have any power, background, or wealth. He was the most common commoner on the street, that had reached his current strength due to some lucky encounter.

Why!?

Why did she have to fall for this bastard and not for him? He had tried so hard to win her heart lately, doing everything he could, and yet she seemed to not be interested in him in the least.

Perhaps his father was right, perhaps she truly was a bi*tch unworthy of his attention. Still, even then he couldn't erase her from his thoughts, he wanted to have her moan under himself.

Mr. Knight stood there eavesdropping on the conversation for more than an hour, before he actually got bored, remembered more important things he had to do, and left.

Once he left, Boris followed behind him, without caring about what happened inside, while Roy burned the ice around him to hot steam only after he was assured of their departure.

As for Alma, it was only then that she was awakened from her smug face and thoughts, as she looked at him and asked,

"What took you so long!? I don't think that it would be difficult for you to get out of that state!"

"We had two spectators during your childish show of anger! Most probably they are suspecting something!"

"Huh!? How come!?"

"Don't you think that they will find it weird that after that powerful reaction there was only that small amount of ice around us?

You may have fully spoiled our future plans!"

"Huh!? How come is this my fault!? It was you who caused all this!"

"What are you saying, it's your fault for acting like that, and enjoying…"

As he said up to here he couldn't help but remember the scene earlier and look at his hand as if trying to grab something smooth and jiggly.

"Yoouuuu~! Don't push me, otherwise I will make sure to freeze you this time!"

"Well if you don't try to play games on my head, I will not be forced to do that!"

"Hmph~! You act so strong and mighty but can't even bear a small play! What kind of man are you!? Are you even a man?"

The next moment she regretted these words though…
