Chương 319: Chapter 302. Minutes And Requests

" Dad, it's you! It's really you!"" Father. Thank the Gods!" Cindy and Byron quickly moved to Count Fracks's side as I was standing and trying to figure out exactly how this was possible. I mean, could that person who seemed so insane, actually find the will to beat back a God and seize back control of himself?" Dad! Are you going to be okay!? Please, I don't want you to die! We still need you!" Lady Cindy started to plead to her father, but her pleading seemed to fall on deaf ears." Huah!" /Splatter.

/ Just as Fracks went to speak, he vomited that similar black and green blood. Now that I can finally take in what I'm seeing, he's still ripped in half. I need to heal him, but my mana is too low. He's losing blood fast. That Holy Bolt I was going to fire would've been my last move, I had just enough to fire that bolt, but to actually heal someone... I need time to recover... And that's something we don't have...

Even if I try to heal him, I don't think I have enough mana to use Holy Heal and I'll end up passing out from Mana Exhaustion." Father!" Byron noticed the blood leaking from where Fracks's body was cut by me. Byron looked at me with panic in his eyes and began to ask the question I already knew the answer to." Please, heal him! You can save our Father, can't you!?" I felt terrible for my answer." N-"" My Love! You did it!" Grip! Fall! / Thump! / Grip!

Before I could answer, I was grabbed and knocked off balance, from the tightness of the hug and the warmth of the hands, I knew it was Sarah. Without even thinking about anything else, I wrapped my hands around her as well. I mean... We made it. The God was gone, we lived through a fight with a God. Me, Sarah, Anna, Ellie, Wendy, Princess Alice and our Guards all survived. I could breathe a sigh of relief...

Until I turned my head after nodding to Princess Alice who arrived along with Sarah and I saw Byron, Lady Cindy and Baron Fracks again. I looked back at Sarah as I thought about the situation." Sarah, can you give me some of your mana real quick, they asked me t-" Kiss! Fill... Sarah kissed me before I could even finish explaining why I was asking her to do it. Once she separated our lips she smiled at me as she spoke happily." I'm so glad you've gotten over showing Our Love in public, My Love!

Would you like another one?" I sat back up and shook my head. I raised my arm towards Baron Fracks as I responded to Sarah's words." For now no.... And I'd still prefer keeping our Married activities to ourselves. There's some things I don't enjoy about doing something like this in public after all. Holy Heal!" I sent out my mana and it sunk into Baron Fracks. I didn't feel resistance, but it looks like the effects that it had were negligible at best." D-Did it work?" Lady Cindy looked to me for an answer.

I nodded my head to her." My Spell worked.... But I don't think it matters."" You'd be right, Darling. The state his body was in, combined with the possession, my Goddesses said there's nothing we can do for him. All you've done is stopped him from bleeding out and gave him a few more minutes to spend here." This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. Anna's voice came from behind us.

Anna and the rest joined Sarah, Princess Alice and I along with the Fracks family. They've finally made it over. Despite the victory we've achieved, no one was smiling, especially the other Counts. I turned to Anna as she spoke and I was a bit shocked. I mean, Holy Heal has worked for everything since I got here and now, it doesn't? Something feels off and it must be down to the God Of The Blackwoods." So all I've done is buy him 5 more minutes? I don't know if I should be happy or sad about that."

As Sarah and I stood back up, a weak voice seemed to answer my conundrum for me." yo... u.... sho.... uld.... be..... glad...." Count Fracks spoke as he struggled for each breath." Yes. You should be glad, Matthew. 5 minutes to say goodbye to everyone.... Something like that is priceless." Phil seemed to understand what Fracks was trying to say to me. It still didn't make me feel better. Sure, he did kill people, but how much of that was him and how much of that was due to the God's influence?

I don't think I'll ever know the answer to that question." Dad..."" Father...."" Just let us know when you've said what you wish to say." Lady Cindy and Byron didn't want to waste any of the time I granted them. With the mana that Sarah gave me, I used it to make a Barrier that was soundproof so the family could have some amount of privacy, I felt it was the right thing to do." To think of all that's happened tonight and at the end as the sun is rising, we're all standing vigil for Uncle Franz."

Count Tye made an observation of our situation. The sun had just started to lift off from the horizon as we stood by each other and tried to look away from the family to give them their privacy. Eventually, Byron waved his hand and I opened the Barrier for the friends of the family to join." And then there were 4." I muttered what I was thinking as I closed the Barrier again.

"Actually it's 7 now."

"?" An unfamiliar voice answered my mutter I looked at my Wives and Princess Alice, but they all looked at me confused, except for Princess Alice.... She must be getting cold as her cheeks went red as she looked away from my stare? If not them, then who?" You're looking the wrong way, Matthew!"" Now, now, boy! Don't be rude to the only one that can see us!"" What's the point of being formal now, Old Man!?"" Wait, Victor?" I turn around to see Victor arguing with what looked like a middle-aged version of himself."

Damnit, boy! He's a Marquess! We should respect him! King Warrick gave him that Title for a reason!" /Bump! /" Ow!" The older man, who must be Victor's father, gave him a slap on the head. They noticed my gaze on them and then Victor's dad got embarrassed about his actions." I'm sorry, Lord Paladin! This kid has sorely been lacking in manners since he was young. Don't judge him too harshly." I looked at them with a look of confusion." What? Cat got your tongue? He's my dad! We reunited after the mansion blew up!

He's been in our family home trying to decide what to do! When the mansion exploded, he decided to run over to see what was happening! That's when I found him! He was even crying!" Victor seemed to be holding in a belly laugh as his father looked a bit embarrassed. I could almost crack a smile as I saw his dad ready another smack to the back of his head. /Whack! / That one was louder than the last." OW!"" Dammit, boy! You shouldn't be talking about Family Business! It's rude!""

We came here to do just that though!?" Victor seemed to reveal the reason that they were here. But I had no idea what it meant." Matthew, what's the matter?" Princess Alice was the last to realize something was up with me, but she was the first to ask. I think Sarah and Anna heard me say "Victor" and figured out what was happening. I looked to Princess Alice and answered her question as concisely as I could." Paladins can talk to Ghosts.

The Ghost that let us piece together what was going on is here, along with his father and they're preforming a comedy show."" Ghosts!?" Princess Alice panicked, her tail shot straight up like someone pointing a finger. Her reaction was as amusing as Victor and his dad's actions. While I'd like to continue to watch her ears and tail standing stiff from my words, I couldn't in good conscience do that, so I started to explain it a bit better." Alice, don't worry, they're not bad Ghosts, I can vouch for them.

They're victims in this whole situation. Pretty much like everyone else here."" Yeah! That's right, Lady!"" Boy!" With one word from his father, Victor ducked down and covered his head. Once she was sure she wasn't being cursed or something, Princess Alice finally relaxed. With that over, Victor's father wore a calm expression compared to the emotive face he's had while dealing with Victor. He took a deep breath and then he bowed to me." Lord Paladin! My name is Patrick Harvey!

Forgive my rudeness, but My Son informed me that you're a good man! I wish to place my Trust in you and ask of you a Request!" I was surprised again by this father... No I suppose I should call him Patrick now, shouldn't I? Even though I was in no real mood to do anything, I still thought it was only right to hear his wish. I mean, he died due to that God's actions. I'm sure he has regrets." What is your request, Patrick?"" I want you to give work to My Wife, so that My Daughter and her can live peacefully!

I BEG OF YOU!"" Uhmm..." I was shocked as I sat and tried to understand what was just requested of me.
