Arnold looked at Amelia with a dazed look.
Ah, really.
He didn't expect that Amelia would be the one to ask the question first among the two of them.
"I'm wiling, but…"
"But what?" Amelia's joy was interrupted when she heard the word 'but' and she glared in Arnold's direction.
It was as if she will directly drag him to the training ground should he disagree. After their training in the past year, Amelia's power was definitely among the top.
She's really strong and even Arnold had to be careful.
Of course, the two of them would never truly use any killing move when fighting against each other.
They didn't want to kill the other party but simply sparring.
"I…" Arnold saw Amelia's look and knew that he couldn't avoid it today. Amelia wanted an answer and she will get it, no matter what.
He took a deep breath and said, "I'm just worried that it'll be too much. We're among the forefront of the fighters and we have to fight against those magic beasts… I'm afraid that something will happen in the future."
What if they had just been together for a day and then one of them had to leave right the next moment?
The pain for the one left behind would be unimaginable.
Arnold could already fell the dull pain in his chest when he thought about this and he didn't want to leave Amelia in such a situation.
He wanted a future for them.
Otherwise, he would not have waited for so long and maintained his distance when he was still working as a mercenary. At that time, there were too many people who were aiming for his life and he didn't have the confidence to be able to protect Amelia.
Even though Samuel told him that he could protect Amelia…
He also wanted to be the one that Amelia relied on.
Because Samuel is only Amelia's brother and there would be a time when he could no longer take care of his sister.
Amelia also couldn't possibly rely on her brother for the rest of her life.
She had to live independently.
And it was this thought that pushed him to keep striving for the better and try his best to make sure that he could reassure their lives together.
But…
Arnold found out that the Green Planet was still in danger and they would have to face countless magic beasts.
Could he protect Amelia?
He was not entirely sure about that.
So he didn't dare to take a step forward and instead tried his best to maintain their relationship as it is.
"Are you stupid?" Amelia pouted.
"Mel…"
"No one knows what the future will be and it's my decision to be with you." Amelia grumbled. "You're so cool and rational, but isn't it a bit too much to worry about the future all the time?"
She had long known that Arnold is a very serious person, but it was this side of him that attracted her.
His sense of responsibility, his calmness and composure… it made him look more reliable.
At least, in her eyes, it was like that.
Of course, Amelia definitely couldn't compare Arnold with her brother. In terms of pure power and strength, her brother was definitely far better. And it was basically impossible to find anyone at the same level as her brother unless she was looking for other returnees.
But she didn't want to.
