The Conquerors Path

Chapter 47: Saving A Damsel In Danger!

among the other’s surprised eye’s i quickly appeared, before they could react i made my move {fall} casting a spell which created 2 wind balls which quickly hit 2 of the guys taking them out for good

“{restrict}”

casting another spell i froze the guy holding Scarlet’s mother, i quickly arrived in front of him broke his legs and took her mother into my arms, i then carefully placed her in the ground and moved to the last one

i aimed for the guy holding Scarlet i arrived in front of him and before he could react i punched him in his gut and pushed him away and took Scarlet into my arms

“are you alright?”

i asked her but when she looked at me she was in daze, it was only after a moment that she responded

“i-i am fine”

after she said that she moved away from my arms and ran towards her mother, while i looked towards the last person, a small ranked noble according to my calculations

“wha-what do you want?”

seeing how i easily handled those mens the noble understood that he was not my match but i was not intrested in talking to him, so i arrived in front of him and gave him a small punch in his face, with that he fell down unconscious

after that i went towards the mother-daughter pair and spoke

“we can’t stay here how about we go to my inn”

hearing my words Scarlet nodded, as for her mother she had fainted, looking at me she was silent for a bit before she spoke

“thank you”

“no need to thank me, you are my friend after all”

hearing my reply she smiled after that we took her mother to my inn, were she was laid on the bed, it’s only after that i did a look on her face, brown hair with a few white among them and brown eyes

her face even though it had few wrinkles, it still carried her past beauty, seeing that she still had not awakened Scarlet was worried, i checked her and informed Scarlet that her mother was fine, after that silence regained for a while before Scarlet spoke

“did you follow me?”

“of course i did, you had just ran away after i told about being my friend, do you not want to be my friend?”

as i spoke the last sentence my voice was soft, as if i was ‘sad’ and ‘afraid’ that she would not be my friend, seeing my reaction she became quite flustered

“no!, i would love to be your friend”

seeing my ‘depressed’ appearance she quickly replied, seeing that i ‘smiled’ happily, i moved closer to her and placed ny hands around her shoulder

“it’s great then, don’t you regret it later”

seeing my actions Scarlet blushed a bit but this time she didn’t push me away

‘umm, that’s an improvement’

“by the way do you have a sister?”

“no, why?”

“no, seeing your mother i could say that a daughter born would surely be beautiful, maybe i got a chance”

hearing my reply her eyes widen a bit, raising her arms she punched my shoulder

“what are you saying your pervert”

laughing i dodge her punch

“c’mon don’t be angry i was just trying to lighten the mood”

with that we went on joking with each other for a few minutes, it’s at this time that Scarlet’s mother on the bed woke up

“mother!”

Scarlet quickly moved towards her mother who just woke up, she held her mother who sat up straight

“what happened?”

“nothing mother you are fine now”

seeing that Scarlet’s mother was in daze Scarlet quickly filled in the details of what happened, after hearing what happened she nodded and then looked towards me

“thank you for saving me young man”

“you can call me Austin aunty”

after i said that i removed my mask and hood, seeing my appearance she was surprised for a bit before she spoke

“then you can call me Sara, it’s nice to finally meet my dau-“

“mother!”

before Sara could complete her words Scarlet intervened stopping her mother’s blunder, then she looked at me seeing my ‘clueless’ appearance she sighed

“ohh~~sorry i mispoke, i really am happy to see my son’s friend”

“it’s nothing much i really do wanted to be good friends with this guy”

after that we spoke amongst ourselves and a lively atmosphere was created, it was during this time that i put on a serious expression and spoke

“aunty Sara there is something important i have to say to you”

seeing my expression Scarlet tensed up and Sara looked at me curiously

“what is it Austin?”

Scarlet asked, putting on a ‘hesitant’ and ‘troubled’ expression i spoke

“sigh, i really didn’t want to say this, aunt Sara according to my calculations you only have a week left to live”

hearing my reply Scarlet jumped up from her seat frightened, her face paled as for Sara though surprised she didn’t react much, she must have known about it, after all it’s her body

“what do you mean Austin”

agitated Scarlet came close to me and held my shoulders, i could see the fear and worry in her eye’s

“no need to over react Scarlet i already knew about this”

hearing Sara’s word’s Scarlet began to tear up without saying anything she ran out of the room, seeing that i looked towards Sara who nodded to me, after that i ran behind Scarlet

after running for a while, by lagging behind intentionally i found her, she was near a valley bend down and crying

i approached her, coming close to her i put a hand on her shoulders, as i did she directly plunged into my chest and started crying, i just held her back and started consoling her

this went on for about 10 minutes where she cried without end, after getting hold of herself she raised her head and looked at me

her golden eye’s had tears falling down, her body wss still trembling and deep sadness could be felt from her

“Au-Austin wo-would my mother really leave me?”

with trembling voice that leaked a bit of her feminine voice she asked

“your mother’s life force has decreased tremendously and she’s barely holding on, unless you can find a divine level item, there is nothing that can save your mother”

hearing my words more tears started to flow from her eye’s

“wh-what ca-ca-can i do, mo-mothers my whole world, i don’t know what i can do without her”

i started to pat her back to calm her down

“who said that your mother could not be saved”

“huh??”

hearing my words she responded with a dumbfounded expression, mustering the kindest and caring smile i can, i spoke at the same time i cleaned her tears

“i said that you are my friend, that means that i would do everything to help you, you are the first person that i could be open with so don’t worry, i would save your mother”

my words brought her to be struck, she who always had to depend on herself found another, for the first time she found someone to depended on, she wasn’t alone….
