Chapter 94: Trust
[You have used a health potion.]
Leon held his neck, feeling like his life was quickly running away. He had been losing too many health points, and Celes' bite took a significant part of his health… After all, the neck was one of the vital points, and the vampiress took a wide bite.
To fully regenerate, Leon needed more than a health potion.
Leon leaned down on the tree's bark, then dropped onto his ass. He planted his hand on the bark, then used one of his newest skills, The Dragonwater's Enchantment Skill. He used the concept that Alexandra couldn't receive with her cruel mind — The Healing Spring of The Aquarisen Dragons.
But the tree turned out to be an insufficient resource.
Yes, the world had mana, and so did the trees. But those were common and didn't have a significant amount of that precious element. Leon knew he wasn't in any special area, so he didn't blame his surroundings.
Thinking of everything he had in his inventory, Leon fished out the black skull.

[The undead energy…]
And after the tenth time, Leon's stubbornness fruited!
[You have caused the miracle.]
[The Healing Spring of The Black Skull(Legendary) has been created.]
Leon's new item became the legendary treasure he'd use a lot from now on. It became a source of pure water that cleansed the soul and mended serious wounds. Of course, nothing came without a price, for the black skull nearly gobbled all of Leon's mana, which was also dangerous.
And it didn't produce that much healing water!
Nonetheless, it was enough to fill the current loss. Leon's neck mended, and it appeared as though no one had eaten him there. He had a real scar here, but Leon didn't want to fix it, at least for now. And with that done, Leon closed his eyes, took a mouthful of air, and rested in the forest.
Alexandra was by his side, not daring to comment on anything.
She only did when Leon opened his eyes and glanced at her. "Master… Why didn't you say anything to her?"
"Have I appeared… furious? Disappointed? Angry?" Leon asked without replying to the girl's inquiry, and his eyes shone brightly as he immediately wanted to know the answer.
Alexandra nodded, tightly clenching her clothes. "Yes. You looked genuinely hurt."
"That's good… I feel like I would have fucked up her plan if I had said something." Leon faintly smiled and closed his eyes again, feeling his mana recovering just like his health points.
It was rare to feel so much mana and health points regenerating. It was a pleasant and fulfilling feeling, for Leon had tons of it, and that was what made him proud.
Alexandra couldn't understand her master, though. "Master believes… she was faking things?"
Leon laughed with his eyes closed, comfortably leaning on the tree. "If I don't believe in her now, when will I? What's the point of a relationship if you can't trust your partner? Do I need a special class to know she's on my side? Alexandra… I've known this girl for some time now… She has helped me… She put up with me when I was in one of the worst states… I'll believe in her until she's gone for years."
He didn't bother explaining everything to the dragon maid. Leon knew that only one thing could change Celes' mindset and change her life, and those were her sisters. He didn't even doubt that Celes wouldn't care too much about her family, for these had pressured her to join Her Highness' side.
Nonetheless, those sworn sisters that turned her life merrier were precious girls that Celes would always take care of, no matter what pressed her heart. But in the end, those were her sworn sisters. She'd sacrifice many things for their sake — even time with Leon by her side — and risk her relationship with her master for them.
But she wouldn't sacrifice her whole life for them. They had helped each other in the past, filled the gaps in their hearts, and became a group of loyal and trustful friends. But Celes had a new life now and hoped the same happened for those dear girls.
She also knew that Leon would always give her a chance. Because when he was lost and hurt her for a whole month, Celes had given him a chance, too. She even cured him.
Leon naturally wouldn't act like a teenager with trust issues. "I expect to wake up with Celes in my arms tomorrow."
He stood up and took off his shirt. This had holes in his back, all because of the vampire's wings. Leon didn't lose them; he simply hid them because he believed that Celes wanted it to happen after saying 'break the contract', including him breaking the chains connecting their hearts.
She used many different words and spoke so differently that Leon was further convinced of her heart. Celes also didn't show any ecstasy or reaction at all with Leon's flesh in her mouth!

Alexandra nodded, her loyalty helping her come to terms with her master's speech. "I also have holes in my gown, Master… Also, the carriage has been broken…."
She apologized with a bow.
Leon raised his hand, not minding it. "The most important stuff is in our inventories. I also have horses here. All we need is a new carriage, but that will wait."
Leon put on a new shirt. He told Alexandra to do the same. His dragon maid didn't care about the environment, for she understood that her master wouldn't allow anyone to see her naked.
And since Leon was her savior and she had sworn to serve him for life, he had all right to see her naked.
But she was still embarrassed while changing clothes.
Fortunately, Leon didn't really pay much attention to her.
If succubi couldn't exert their charm on him, Alexandra was less likely to do that. That was because girls needed more than just their bodies to bring this man's schlong to the peak.
And his mood wasn't for anything like that, too.
"I'm ready, Master…" Alexandra spoke with a tinge of shyness.
Leon nodded at her, checked her clothes by running his eyes from head to toe, then turned around and went to the red dots on his minimap. "Celes will work from the inside. We'll push them from the outside."
"I shall follow your orders, Master!" Alexandra lost her embarrassment now that Leon had entered the killing mode.
