Chapter 34
Chapter 34. Things Humans Cannot Do
After Shulia ran out, Fick lay in bed for a very long time.
That kiss actually had the same effect as Azure Crystal. He felt as though his body had grown a little stronger again. Now, he could lift at least one Alex with a single hand. In the future, he could count it as money saved on buying Magic Crystals.
That fellow Shulia really could not handle being teased. The instant the kiss ended, she turned into small fry, lifted her skirt, and fled in a flash.
Fick rolled over and pulled the blanket over his head again.

I must be insane. I actually like Shulia, that Witch, and I even confessed successfully.
A Witch herself was equivalent to a moving Magic Crystal.

Psychologically, when people saw a Witch, they would think of those relatives and friends who had died from consuming Magic Crystal, so Witches were deeply hated by humans across the continent.
Physiologically, no one wanted to marry a Witch. Kissing them was equivalent to gambling with one’s life. When a Witch’s emotions ran high, crystallization disease could flare up, and the moment it did, it could instantly infect the other person. Once infected by that thing, it was a terminal illness, let alone having intercourse.
Over the past century, someone had compiled statistics. On the rare occasions when people were willing to marry Witches, whether they were knights or ordinary people, every single one of them contracted crystallization disease. And the Witches who had intercourse did not bear children either.
Even the most elite sixth-tier knights were not interested in Witches. They only needed Magic Crystal blocks to soothe their emotions after battle. At ordinary times, they kept a respectful distance from them.

So, even when I was at my craziest back when I was doing drugs, I would never have dared fantasize about having a royal Witch young lady as my girlfriend.
In the room next door, Shulia also had not fallen asleep.
After she ran back, she threw herself directly onto the bed, buried her face in the pillow, and stayed muffled there for a full quarter of an hour before she was willing to raise her head. Her face was terribly hot, and her heartbeat was fast. She touched the saliva Fick had left on her lips with her finger, then buried her face in the pillow again.
So this is what kissing feels like. That fellow Fick must be unbelievably smug right now. Though I am also very happy.

I was so excited that I forgot. Kissing could hurt him. Fortunately, crystallization disease did not flare up. I have to be more cautious next time.
As the vice president of the Royal Witch Association, I promised last year that I would grow old alone with everyone else. This year, I am taking the lead in dating. Everyone will definitely curse me to death…

The next morning, Fick was woken by a knock at the door.
“Mr. Fick, breakfast is ready.”
He opened his eyes in a daze. His head felt as heavy as though it had been filled with lead. He sat up, rubbed his eyes, and yawned.
A maid came in to help him dress. Seeing the state he was in, she could not help glancing at him a few more times.
“Did you not sleep well last night, sir?”
“Mm.” Fick yawned again. “Insomnia.”

The maid pursed her lips and smiled, then asked no further.
In the room next door, Shulia was also woken by a maid. She opened her eyes, faint dark circles beneath them, her hair so messy it looked like a chicken nest. The maid was startled, but Shulia waved her hand and said it was insomnia.
After washing up, Fick headed toward the dining room. As he passed through the corridor and turned the corner, he heard people speaking inside.
Breakfast was laid out on the long table. The white bread had been cut into thick slices, with honey and a small dish of butter placed beside it. Oat porridge steamed hot, with milk and some dried fruit added inside. The smoked meat sizzled as it was fried, gleaming with oil. There were also pickled olives and cheese.
Shulia sat at the table, holding a piece of bread and speaking to Sifiel beside her. Today, she wore a pale blue dress, and her hair was pinned up, revealing the nape of her neck.
Sifiel sat opposite her in a white dress, also holding bread. She ate while listening, her face full of gossip.

The moment Fick entered, both of them raised their heads to look at him.
Sifiel hurriedly stood up and pulled out the chair beside her, looking at him with admiration written all over her face.

Fick felt somewhat unnerved by her gaze. He coughed and sat down beside Shulia.
Shulia did not look at him. She lowered her head and stared at her plate, but the tips of her ears were red. Fick did not look at her either. He reached out to take some bread, only to grab at empty air. The bread was on the other side.
The corners of Shulia’s mouth moved slightly, and she pushed the dish of bread toward him.
Fick took it and whispered, “Thank you.”
Ė ňǔmа
Shulia gave a soft “Mm” and continued lowering her head to eat.
Sifiel sat opposite them, her eyes darting back and forth between the two of them. Her mouth was pressed together as though she were holding back laughter.
The three of them ate quietly like this for a while.
Fick bit into a piece of bread and chewed, while out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shulia’s fingers tracing back and forth along the edge of the table.

Shulia took a sip of goat milk, while out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a bit of honey stuck to the corner of Fick’s mouth. She wanted to say something, but did not.
In the end, it was still Sifiel who could not hold back. She quietly asked Shulia, “How did you two…”
E ń ůmá
“Eat your food.” Shulia did not even raise her head.
Sifiel gave an “Oh,” lowered her head, and continued eating, but the corners of her mouth were curved upward.
Fick was the first to put down his fork.
“The weather is nice today. Shall we go out on a date?”
“Sure.”
The two of them stood up as if on autopilot. Their hands naturally clasped together, and they walked outside.

Sifiel could not help saying, “You have not finished eating. God said wasting food is…”
Before Fick could even finish hearing that sentence, Shulia seized the initiative and pulled him away. The two of them gradually sped up, until finally they broke into a light run and vanished at the end of the corridor.
Sifiel sat there, staring at their backs, her eyes round with anger.
At the main table, Duke Nufeng slowly put down his fork and looked in the direction where the two of them had disappeared. “Last night, it was definitely Shulia who confessed first. I remember she slipped into his room.”
Second Madam was spreading butter on her bread. “Perhaps Shulia knocked Fick to the ground and used magic to force him to become her slave.”
“Knocked him to the ground?” First Madam held a cup of hot goat milk and took a sip. “Shulia has been in the top three of the imperial women’s swordsmanship rankings all year round. She could make Fick fall to the ground even without magic.”

Second Madam thought about it, took a bite of bread, and nodded. “That is true.”
First Madam put down her cup, her gaze still resting in the direction of the door. “As long as Fick Louis truly has taken a liking to Shulia, that is enough. In any case, I support them.”

Duke Nufeng sighed. “Yesterday, Shulia did not cause trouble for the entire day. The household was much quieter.”
Arlorin chewed his smoked meat and added, “As expected of the talent Alex took a fancy to. He effortlessly accomplished something humans cannot do.”
“Alex, what do you think?”
First Madam turned to Alex, a teasing note in her gaze.
W̄е ḃ ṅ о́v̆ е l̆ Е̌ ǹ_umа̄
“Alex, you are already nineteen.”
Alex had originally been holding his cup and drinking goat milk. Hearing his parents call on him, he immediately put the cup down. There was still a bit of milk on his lips, and he had not even had time to wipe it away.
His expression had originally been fine, but the moment he heard those words, his face collapsed.
Beside him, Arlorin stretched out a large hand as though he wanted to pat his shoulder.

Alex dodged to the side, and Arlorin’s hand struck empty air.
Arlorin did not get angry either and simply withdrew his hand.

At the mention of this, Duke Nufeng’s head began to ache. He grumbled quietly, “Sifiel is even more of a silly fool. She does not even know what romance is. Is this a curse? Not a single daughter in our family is normal.”
Alex’s face turned from white to gray, then from gray back to white.
He stood up. “Father, I am going to help Mr. Fick negotiate with the publisher. I will leave first.”
Before his words had even fully landed, he had already walked several steps away.
First Madam held her teacup and looked at his back, then laughed. “He runs quickly enough.”
Saphile Nufeng said to his eldest son, “Staying in the Holy City makes my whole body feel uncomfortable. One month from now, I will return to Torukis Main City with the commanders and civil officials. After that, you need to look after your younger brothers and sisters.”

“As long as Mr. Fick keeps an eye on Shulia, that will be enough. Alex is merely still in his rebellious phase. In the future, he will understand Father’s painstaking intentions. As for the others, I can still manage them.” Arlorin picked up his fork and continued eating his smoked meat.
“As expected of my son. Here, eat some meat.” Duke Nufeng nodded and gave the sliced meat to Arlorin.
