My Obsessive Hubby Is My Enemy
Chapter 3 - Balance
The carriage ride felt so awkward.
Darius simply sat there while my brother and I kept up casual conversation.
Eventually, Kasier decided that it was grand time to mention my fruitless love life.
Kasier Light
Hey, now that you're back in high society, I was wondering if you'd be willing to meet some friends of mine.
Leona Light
Friends? From what I've gathered, your 'friends' are Grade 3 àssholes who only see me as a way to boost their rank.
Kasier Light
I promise you, that's not true!
Kasier Light
Listen, meet with them at least. I'm not proposing an engagement straight away...
Kasier Light
Y-Yes, General?
Darius Knight
It's hot, could you open up the window?
I immediately became irritated. Hearing his voice just makes my teeth grind.
Kasier Light
Oh, of course.
I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms.
Leona Light
*mumbling* What, is the ice cube afraid of melting?
Darius Knight
You seem flushed.
Kasier immediately got up and pressed his hand against my head.
Kasier Light
Gosh, you're burning up, Lena.
Kasier Light
Where are your pills?
What he is talking about can be explained in a short story.
For generations, certain members of nobility were gifted with powers.
My family have, you probably guessed it, Light powers.
You might wonder what the use of light might be. Well, it's simple.
Light is a reflection of time, and with our magic, we heal and modify.
For example, I could make this whole carriage turn into a rusted, rotten mess.
I could heal a gash on someone's arm.
Some of my descendants were able to heal back complete and functional limbs.
We are a family of doctors, who were never truly recognised before I stepped up as strategist.
I studied medicine, in my past life and in this life, and when I wasn't in the tent planning, I was healing the soldiers wounded in battle.
There is a slight issue though.
Imagine a vase which refills faster than you can pour. That is what my body is like.
Therefore, I need to limit how much power I absorb from the elements with little pills.
The particles in the pills absorb my power inside of me and turn into different vitamins.
What happens if I don't consume these pills? Well, I overheat and eventually die.
That's why being on the battlefield was so good for me. I healed so much and used so much of my power that it was kept at bay from when I was 13 to now.
Leona Light
I didn't think I needed them... I took some before I left-
Kasier Light
Driver! Stop the carriage!
Kasier rushed out and immediately began searching through my luggage.
Darius leaned down while I panted, sweat running down my neck.
He then slipped his hand into mine, and I pulled it away.
Leona Light
What are you doing?
Darius Knight
It will help.
Darius Knight
Will you trust me?
Leona Light
Not as far as I can throw you. Get your hand...
Suddenly, the whole carriage went pitch black.
The carriage door slammed shut, and I felt him press his hand against my eyes.
Darius Knight
Don't fight it. Let me in.
Darius began pushing his darkness power inside of me, my body lighting up like a star.
His power felt like water after walking in the desert for hours.
I absorbed, gulping down every last drop he offered until I was practically glowing as bright as the son.
I then reached out and grabbed his other hand, gasping as I felt my light power move into him.
My body began to slowly lose its shimmer, and I felt for the first time in my life that I could breathe.
Eventually, when I had my full, I opened my eyes slowly, only to meet Darius's serious expression.
Leona Light
What did we just do?
The door opened and Kasier rushed inside with the empty pill bottle.
Kasier Light
There are none left!
I turned back towards Darius, who didn't say a word.
What did he make me do just now?
