Five Years

Rowen looked at her and said. "This is your gift."

As he previously asked her about what she wanted as a wish, she said she would have anything that Rowen gave her and this is the gift that Rowen wanted to give her.

This sword would be perfect for her, her fire affinity will perfectly suit the sword's fire affinity, as she was a flame elf she could really become powerful quickly if she used treasures like these.

"You have to become powerful quickly or I will have no choice but to scrap you," Rowen said, he really didn't mean that he just wanted her to focus more on her cultivation as she was now the weakest one in their group, currently only at Spirit Manipulation Realm.

Even Rowen has broken through Spirit Synchronization realm and once he was less powerful than her.

Listening to him a shiver ran down her spine, she gulped her saliva and tightly gripped the fiery sword.

This was the thing she was most afraid of, she never really wanted to be left behind by her master as a scrap. She wanted to be with him and help him during all the voyages through cultivation world.

She could even endure death or being a cripple, however, she can't imagine herself away from him. Even her soul would not be able to rest if he left her.

Rowen's special aura has penetrated deep in her soul and slowly but surely she has completely fallen in love with him.

She stood up from her place and tightly gripped the sword in her hand she bowed down in front of him and said.

"Master you can take this sword back, this lowly one has another request to make." She said with her head bowed down. It looked like she wanted to say something serious.

Lilias could sense the fluctuations in her aura as she was a Spirit Saint now and she strained her back to listen to what she was going to say next.

Rowen looked at her mom and seeing her getting serious, he also looked at Blair with the full focus he also wants to know what she wanted to say that even his mom got interested.

"Ok, tell me what do you really want? If I can do it then I will." Rowen said. He really was gonna give her anything she asked for, as he felt that Blair really deserved some award for her loyalty.

Blair raised up her head and her green eyes stared directly in Rowen's eyes, there were some tears in them.

"Master can you just give me five years, I want to travel alone and get powerful. I will be back after five years and I promise you will be not disappointed." She said and then a streak of tear left her right eye.

She has decided to get away from Rowen for a few years so she could focus on her training and get enough power to be a presentable servant for him.

Lilias narrowed down her eyes as she heard her words, she was confused and there were many questions she wanted to ask.

She wanted to know why Blair wanted to stay away from Rowen when he could help her get strong faster and there was even hellish dimension where she could get death Qi and nourish her demonic body.

However, Lilias kept her curiosity to herself as she looked at Rowen, she knew Rowen will ask all the question that was going through her head.

Rowen also listened to Blair and raised his brows. "Why? You could get more powerful in my hellish dimension and even more quickly." He said, after all, his hellish dimension is like a heaven for demonic creatures like Bliar although, they haven't gone much farther in the dimension however it could be said that it would be more beneficial for her to stay with him then to go alone.

"Master, I have reached a bottleneck, for the past few days I have been trying to break through from it, however, I am unable to do so, I think it is because of my special bloodline."

"It needs flesh and blood of humans and non-demonic creatures to advance and I think a sense of danger is also necessary for a flame elf to progress as they are born once in tens of thousands of years death and danger always lurked around them."

"However, If I stay with the master in the hellish dimension this danger and fear are significantly reduced as Queen and all of the master's powerful demons can save me in case a danger appeared."

She said and then let out a long breath, her throat hurt saying these hurtful words, she can't imagine herself to stay away from him for even a day, however now she had to do it for few years in order to be worthy of him.

She clenched her fist tightly as she controlled her tears from falling down her eyes.

Rowen listened to her and fell into deep thought, he was not serious when he previously told her that he would scrap her if she didn't become powerful.

He didn't expect her to get this serious over this matter, he looked at his mom and she only nodded at him. Apparently, she wanted to let Blair go on her own in the dangerous wilderness, where one needed to be at least a spirit saint in order to survive.

After a few minutes of silence, Rowen stood up from the bed and nodded at her.

"As I have said previously, I will fulfil your wish as long as I could. So you can go, however, you only have five years to be as powerful as you could and secondly, you have to stay alive, remember you can't die without my permission." He said.

From the side, Lilias came and hugged Blair tightly and then kissed her on her forehead like how a mother treats her daughter.

In these past few days, she has come to like this little elf, she even saw her as a daughter in law. Lilias knew how much Blair loved her son and she is the only one that could understand the pain Blair is going through right now.

As Lilias, herself was deeply in love with her son and she can't imagine parting with him for a few days furthermore five years.

She could tell how hard these five years will gonna go for her to pass, and she could even die in the process.

Feeling her warm hug Blair relaxed a little and then a rush of emotion surged in her body, tears started to fall from her eyes, however, she evaporated them before they could touch Lilias.

She felt motherly love coming from the Queen and she also hugged Lilias tightly with her both hands. "Mom..." She said while sobbing.

Just as Lilias heard the word 'mom' from her mouth, a shock ran through her body and images of Rowen saying her mom the first time appeared in her mind.

It was one of the happiest days of her life and currently, she was feeling something like that however she was sad instead of being happy. Her eyes also got wet and then she looked at Rowen and sent a mental message to him.

As she is a spirit saint she could send a mental message to him. "Help her a little."

Rowen also looked at her and then nodded. He summoned his death worm and said. "Take him with you, he would help you survive till you reach the spirit saint ream, or you will die just as you step in the wilderness."

Lilias smiled as she heard Rowen and then moved away from Blair's embrace.

Blair bowed down listening to Rowen. "No need mas..."

"Shut up! I want no discussion on this topic again. This is my command. And also keep that sword with you." He said as he really didn't want any discussion on this topic any more.

He was somehow feeling low after he heard Blair's words, although he was not in love with her, however, he felt bad thinking about her leaving him and there was a little bit of fear in his heart too as he didn't want her to die.

Blair raised up her body and then nodded at him she then looked at Lilias and then said. "Queen sorry for my previous rudeness, I hope you could forgive this lowly one." She was obviously talking about how she called her mom.

Only Rowen had the right to call her mom and for a slave like her to do such a thing was a punishable offence.

Lilias smiled at her and then moved towards her, she placed one of her hand in her cheek. "You are my daughter from now on." She said and then took out one of the rings from her finger.

The ring was made up of spiritual silver and there was a red colour ruby on the top of it.

"This is our family heirloom given to daughters of our family and as you are now my daughter, you keep this and promise me you will keep this safe." She said.
