Chapter 45 David Is Planning Something
****(David's and Eve's pov after prison escape)*****
"David, let's rush to the restricted forest!"
"It's only a couple of hours, I'm pretty sure Jasmine, Elandor and Parul must not have run much far."
"If we act fast we can catch them."
"Their faces would be perplexed upon getting caught off-guard."
David just shook her head and spoke,
"No, we can't chase after them yet!"
"We have miscalculated!"
"If Elandor was the one who was behind all this, then he is hiding way too deeply."
"Now that I think about all our interactions, it's hard to believe all this could be pulled off by a support mage like him."
"You are right, even I was caught off-guard by his involvement", agreed Eve.
"That's why I'm assuming his real strength must be higher as I refuse to believe he is only at the level of a support mage."
"Now that I think clearly of our past interactions, I realised I never suspected him!"
"How can a support mage supply so much support buffs to a party without running out of mana."
"It's too suspicious."
"Plus, didn't he live alone and did nothing but wash people's clothes during school days to earn a living?"
"How can such a frail boy even wield the sword with such precision as seen during our quest."
"He should have never got the chance to learn such a fine swordplay!"
"And heck, given his muscles and such a flexible body…makes it seem as if he wakes up early to do regular exercises."
"Does a support mage need to have such a strong and muscular body?"
"Why would even a support mage need to train physically?"
"Unless…yes unless he was never a support mage but instead a swordsman or perhaps a mercenary in the first place."
"Too suspicious, he was way too suspicious!"
"I don't know if my eyes were blind as I failed to notice even such simple things."
"And even you girls were dumb, couldn't you see these obvious things and point it to me?"
"What was even the use of carrying you three girls around me if all you could use your brains for was how to quarrel with each other."
"Wait-wait now that I think Aushima did try to say so many times that Elandor was not a good person or something like he can't be trusted."
"Fuck!"
"Fuck! I ignored her and was even cold to her."
"And now she too must be with Elandor."
"He must have used some tricks on her and manipulated her."
"She is such a simple girl, he must have used some evil magic on her."
"You will have to pay with your life, Elandor!"
"Don't worry I will save you Aushima!"
"Also Jasmine was my fiance, I can't believe so easily that she betrayed me."
"Yes, that must be it!"
"She was blackmailed by Elandor to betray me", he exclaimed as if he had solved the conspiracy.
David took some seconds before recollecting his thoughts.
"I think his strength must be near a gold-ranked adventurer."
"Then what should we do?"-asked Eve.
David just closed his eyes thinking of a plan.
He knew that even if both he and Eve add up they were no match for a gold-ranked adventurer as they have very high proficiency with their magic.
He would have made up for the lack of strength with his much higher sword and spear proficiency and Eve could easily block Elandor's attack with her shield mastery.
But now since he assumed that Elandor was also secretly increasing his physical strength, he no longer dared to take any risks.
If Elandor was here, he would have laughed at them for their thoughts, he was already at the third order of strength and could easily even challenge the legendary platinum-ranked adventurer.
"Let's go!"-spoke David in his domineering tone.
He didn't even bother to explain to Eve where they were going and started walking forward without paying any attention to her.
At this point, he was treating Eve no different from a slave, who just needed to follow after their master without questioning anything.
Eve felt frustrated at his actions.
She thought even after saving him, he was not grateful to her.
She was annoyed by the fact that even after doing so much for him, he still refused to share information with her and still not allowed her to enter his heart.
Moreover, she was irked by the fact that David dared to think about another girl in her presence.
Seeing him walking further and further away, she
felt indignant.
No one knew deep in her heart these little resentful feelings were piling up, waiting for a chance when they shall explode like a volcano.
As a tier 3 yandere, Eve's thinking was pretty simple!
She just wanted to go straight after the enemy and attack Elandor, Jasmine and any other people that were with them.
In her opinion, all tricks and conspiracies fail in front of absolute strength.
In fact, she had already thought of a plan.
If their opponent's strength was stronger, they would just hold someone hostage.
She thought Parul must be important to them and they wanna use her connections with the guild to do something big.
Having already tortured and beaten Parul countless times in the prison, she was already overconfident that even before the start of battle she would catch that feeble girl by sneaking from behind, thus making her a hostage.
She thought the only thing going for Parul was her oversized breasts with which she was able to capture David's heart.
There was no way Parul would be able to counter her speed and ability.
Moreover, in her opinion even if they failed…both she and David would fail.
She won't fail alone. In her opinion, 'A husband and wife live together and perish together.'
'So if they failed, What's the big deal?'
'They will at least die together like true lovers.'
She suddenly realised that David was already too far away from her and ran after him.
