I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

Kenny waved his hand without even raising his head, signaling the two to leave quickly. In his opinion, it was natural for nobles to find lovers. He did not hate Bennett, but he did not like him either.

Bennett knew that Kenny didn't want to see him, so he pulled Aimee out of the tent. The usually aggressive Aimee became a mute behind Bennett. Bennett sighed and ordered the soldier next to him, "Go tell Captain Serra that Bennett will not be going back tonight."

The soldier saluted and trotted away.

Bennett glanced back at Aimee, who almost instantly looked up and smiled.

Aimee is very inferior to Bennett, and this inferiority complex makes her particularly like to take the initiative in bed. She quarrels with Bennett in life, and Bennett lets her vent. Bennett also likes Aimee very much, and this kind of liking is more of heartache.

Aimee had always felt that Bennett would not leave her, but what she learned today made Aimee lose this confidence. She treated Bennett with caution. This scene was very similar to the little girl who cried that night.

Seeing Aimee's forced ingratiating smile, Bennett felt both distressed and angry. He felt distressed for her cautiousness and angry that she had never believed in him.

Arriving at Bennett's tent, Aimee put the clothes she brought on the table. They were similar to the clothes designed by Bennett himself, except that the pockets were hidden, a swallowtail hem was added to the back, a belt was added in the middle, and there were also a hooded cape and other clothes. Bennett tried them on and didn't know if they looked good, but they were definitely in line with the aristocratic aesthetic of this world.

Aimee kept smiling. Bennett put his clothes away, pulled her to sit on the bed, and kissed her without saying much. Aimee also began to respond to Bennett, from being passive at the beginning to being active later. Aimee was venting madly, and Bennett felt that his wrist was about to be crushed by her.

After the madness, Aimee was still hugging Bennett. She lay on Bennett, looking at the wound on his shoulder, and tears finally flowed out.

Bennett knew he was wrong and didn't plan to argue. He just hugged Aimee tightly.

"There are so many maids around you in the manor, and they are the same as Sera, Bennett, tell me: they are the same as Sera, you just couldn't help it, you are not sincere to Sera, you just need to solve the problem, right, Bennett."

The issue cannot be avoided, both people are important to Bennett.

"She's different. She's different from the maids in the manor. I have feelings for her. She's different."

Aimee bit Bennett's shoulder again, and blood dripped from the corner of Aimee's mouth. She was avoiding Bennett, but the conversation could not stop.

"Stop, Aimee, listen to me, it hurts, it hurts..."

Aimee sat up and stared at Bennett. She actually didn't object to Bennett finding a lover. It was impossible for her to accompany Bennett every day. She rejected Sera for other reasons.

"Bennett, how long will it take you to break through the natural disaster?"

"I can anytime if I want."

“Why didn’t you break through?”

"I want to find my own scourge."

Aimee's hand slid down from Bennett's cheek, stopped on his chest, kissed his Adam's apple lightly, and lay on his chest again. Bennett also put his arms around Aimee.

"Bennett, could you please not break through?"

"What?" Bennett wondered if he had heard it wrong.

He heard it right, Aimee's sobbing voice came: "Don't break through the natural disaster, at least before I die of old age, wu... please, wu... don't let me grow old, wu..."

Aimee doesn't care about the relationship between Sera and Bennett. She and Bennett have a good relationship, but Bennett and Sera are both geniuses. Within 20 years, one is a scourge wizard and the other is a god-given knight. They can live for a thousand years. They return to their youth, and Aimee becomes old.

Love involves selfishness. When Aimee gets old, she can find a maid for Bennett. The maid can be hired by spending some money and replaced every once in a while. Bennett will not develop feelings for the maid because he has plenty of money in the territory. But it is different for Sera. Money cannot buy her. Their feelings can last for hundreds of years, while Aimee's face will be full of wrinkles in 30 years at most. She cannot compete with Sera.

Love is selfish, and so are people. Bennett is not a fool. He knows this is unreasonable and he will never answer...

"Please, don't abandon me..."

Aimee's hoarse voice came again, and Bennett hesitated. A mage would not lose blood and energy as he aged like a knight. Age had no effect on a mage's power, but this request was unreasonable, so Bennett remained silent.

Aimee's crying gradually became weaker. She couldn't accept being abandoned after decades. Fear made her lose her mind. Her emotional outburst made her say something she shouldn't have said. Bennett's silence made her regain her sanity. She already understood what she had just said. At this moment, she was already panicking and she regretted it.

Her palms began to feel sticky, her lips lost their color, her vision was blurry, Bennett's silence made her completely believe that they were finished. Would he start to hate me? Would he leave me? As long as he broke through, his father would not be able to control him at all... Aimee collapsed.

She propped herself up and began to kiss Bennett like crazy, her words becoming more and more urgent: "I was joking, Bennett, I didn't mean that, I..."

Looking at the collapsed Aimee, Bennett couldn't find any words to blame her. He wanted to hug Aimee, but he was too thin to stop a knight.

"Aimee, calm down."

"I don't blame you, Aimee."

……

Perhaps she was completely desperate, or perhaps Bennett's words worked, Aimee stopped. Bennett looked at Aimee's empty and dead eyes, and he felt like a huge rock was pressing on his heart. Aimee had no sense of security, and nothing about her had ever given her a sense of security.

"Bennett, how many years can you stay with me?"

This distraught voice was like a huge hammer, hitting Bennett's heart heavily. What does it matter? What are you afraid of? You are a time traveler, you are the protagonist, Bennett.

"I'm not breaking through, Aimee."

"What."

"I said I won't make a breakthrough. I won't make a breakthrough before I'm 60."

To Bennett, the power of the Scourge Mage is very strong, but he is not a soft persimmon. He majored in chemical engineering and had a bunch of high explosives, strong acids, and poison gases waiting for him. He did not need to break through the Scourge to replenish powerful spells.

Aimee didn't know all this, and now she was even more panicked. She didn't really not want Bennett to become stronger. After all, those words she just said were caused by her losing control of her emotions, and she already regretted it. She touched Bennett's forehead, trying to make sure if Bennett was talking nonsense.

"Don't scare me. What nonsense are you talking about, Bennett? Be normal."

"I'm normal, Aimee, I know what I'm talking about."

Aimee looked at the calm blue light in Bennett's eyes. Bennett's eyes gave her the answer to what security was, but it was not right.

Aimee wrapped her arms around the neck of the man in front of her, and a warm hug responded to her. At this moment, she felt at ease. These words were enough. She didn't need him to fulfill his promise. She wanted him to be better.

"Bennett, I believe you won't abandon me. I can't be a burden to you. You deserve a higher stage. Don't worry about me. We will have children. When I get old, the children will accompany me. It's enough for you to come and see me every year."

Bennett kissed Aimee's hair and said calmly, "I will never abandon you, Aimee, never."
