Novel Bin Chapter 30 My Partner, After All
"Give it away? Yes, that is possible, and you are right when you say that you have an endless supply. I sense no change in your overall health, so there is no way that it could be draining you normally. Either that or you just have hundreds of lives worth of Life Force, and even then it would be impossible. You would just regenerate your Life Force faster than it is used. As for healing, that would not work," Xieus explained, and I tilted my head.
"It wouldn't heal them? But it is giving them more Life Force, right?" I asked, but Xieus shook her head.
"No, Life Force is different. Your Life Force is a measurement of your Vitality. Think of it as the essence of your body that helps everything work. That is not to say that a person with more Life Force doesn't heal faster, but the difference is that of a sick person versus a healthy one," Xieus explained, and I nodded.
That made sense now that she explained it to me, but I could still see the uses for it. If a person was drained, exhausted, or tired, I could help recharge them.
"Well, I think I understand what I can use it for, but does that mean you can give me some Life Force? Where ever I am drawing it from, it isn't from my own, and I want to test if you can restore my fatigue," I asked, and Xieus nodded with a smile and kissed me.
This time, the kiss was like electricity, and I felt my tiredness be ripped away, snapping my eyes wide open. The feeling was like nothing that I had ever felt before, and I returned the kisses with renewed passion.
We laid together and kissed for another twenty minutes until the was a knock at the door. As the two of us broke apart, Xieus poofed into smoke as the door opened, and Eliza walked in with Chili, Senna, and Trina.nove(l)bi(n.)com
Eliza was being supported by Chili, and I got up right away to rush over to her and scooped her up gently. Eliza wince, but I was careful as I brought her over to the bed.
I hadn't thought it was this bad, but it looked like she could barely walk. I was going to heal her, but I wanted everyone out for it.
"Can I ask everyone to leave the room? Senna, you should understand what I mean from our journey," I said, and Senna nodded.
"Yes, come girls. Galio is going to help the Countess so you don't need to worry. The man can be trusted," Senna said, herding Chili and Trina out of the room.
Once they were gone, I turned back to Eliza, feeling bad for what happened, but she was smiling when I looked at her. It was the strangest thing because I could see she was clearly in pain.
"Why are you smiling so much? Are you not in pain?" I asked, and she nodded with a small laugh.
"Yes, but I am the talk of the town now! All the women are coming to me for advice and other things! This pain is my trophy!" Eliza said with a giggle and then winced.
"Well as funny as it is that you can't walk straight, I can't leave you like this, so hold still," I said and gathered Pure Magic into my hands.
Green light pooled into my hands and I pressed it down to Eliza's waist. As the light spread down between Eliza's legs, she let out a sigh and her body relaxed on the bed.
"There? How does that feel now?" I asked Eliza, and she sat up and kissed me in response.
"Is there anything that you can't do? I think I might have to try that again if you can just heal me after like this! I can see why you kicked the girls out of the room. Magic is one thing, but being able to heal people would have people knocking on your doorstep constantly!" Eliza exclaimed, and I nodded.
"Yes, and I have a lot of stuff that I want to do. There is no way that I am going to get locked down in one spot! That's why tomorrow, I am going to start training. The sooner I can get stronger, and help the Lich Queen, the sooner we are out of here," I explained, and Eliza nodded.
"I can't believe that Lady Katarina is okay with this," Eliza mused, and I shrugged as I sat down in bed with her.
"I didn't really give her much of a choice and getting out to see the world will be good for you. Staying in one place your entire life will get boring, and you will just end up hating your life. I think that if you get out and explore all that this world has to offer, you will be a lot happier when you settle down," I explained, and Eliza nodded slowly.
"What will you do when this is all over?" Eliza asked, putting a hand on my arm, and looking up at me.
That was a good question, but it was too soon to tell. I had no clue what my life was going to bring, or where I would be dragged.
"I have no idea, but I am pretty sure that it will involve you. You are my partner, after all. I don't plan on taking more; maybe have some fun with others, but I will always come back to you," I said, and Eliza leaned on my arm.
"That is relieving to hear. I was really worried that you were going to try and leave after you got what you wanted from me. Not that I would hold it against you, but I really like you, and want to spend more alone time with you, like this and before in the bathtub. You are a very interesting person, but that is only one of the many things that I lie about you," Eliza said with a smile as she looked up at me.
I smiled and kissed her forehead.
"You got me, but now I am feeling rested, and I think that we have a party to attend, right?" I asked, and Eliza nodded.
