The space in front of him stayed empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a long, tired sigh and kept staring at the empty air. His heart felt heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the system, he felt blind. All his growth, all his advantages, everything could disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would go back to being just an ordinary person, the same weak boy from his previous life who was used and thrown away by everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought made his chest tight with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crypian,\" Alia said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice gently pulled him out of his dark thoughts. He turned his head toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alia stood close beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly tucked a strand of her long brown hair behind her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft pink blush colored her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blush had many reasons, the long, dangerous journey, the life-threatening battles they had faced together, and the way their feelings for each other had grown stronger with every challenge they overcame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crypian looked at her from the corner of his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout this entire tower climb, Alia had stayed right by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never complained. She never became a burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, her quick and sharp mind had helped them escape many deadly situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warm, grateful smile slowly appeared on Crypian’s face as he watched her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" he answered with a small nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took one step forward toward the raised platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alia also stepped forward and stood right next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both knew what this trial was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious voice that spoke on every floor had already explained the rules clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at each other again. Nervous energy filled the air between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their hearts beat faster than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They took a slow, deep breath together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in one voice, they called out clearly toward the motionless red knight:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Love Guardian, wake up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crypian and Alia raised their hands at the same time and gently placed them on the cold stone platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have come here to take on the trial!\" they said together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This trial was known as the Love Trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once someone started it, the knight called the Love Guardian would wake up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would ask several questions about their feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they answered correctly and proved their love was strong and true, the knight would accept them as his new masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also why Julius felt so confident about clearing this floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Crypian and Alia already had the key to move to the 11th floor, they still chose to take the trial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both knew how powerful this red knight was, and they did not want to leave any risks behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, Crypian Thorne, and my partner, Alia Ruth, are here to take on the trial,\" Crypian spoke clearly, his voice steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please proceed with the trial!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he finished speaking, a bright red light burst out from the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It filled the entire area with a warm, glowing shine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy rumbling sounds echoed across the 10th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large red sword lying on the ground began to shake and slowly lift into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the knight’s armored hands started to move with a loud metallic clink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep, powerful voice came from inside the red armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Love Guardian slowly stood up from his throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heavy armor made loud clinking sounds as he rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached down, grabbed the huge red sword with both hands, and stabbed it firmly into the stone ground in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Love Trial!\" the knight continued in his strong, deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you clear all the conditions, you will be accepted as my masters. However...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused for a moment. A bright red glint flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If love even more pure than yours appears, I will abandon you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crypian and Alia flinched at those words. They quickly exchanged nervous glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their hearts beat faster, but after a second, they both nodded to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had complete faith in their feelings for one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We accept!\" both of them said at the same time, their voices clear and determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well then!\" the Love Guardian spoke in his deep, powerful voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Crypian and Alia for a long moment, his red eyes glowing faintly inside the helmet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he raised his huge red sword high above his head and slammed it hard onto the stone ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud explosion echoed through the 10th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a huge red magic circle appeared on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The circle quickly grew bigger and spread out until it completely covered the area around Crypian and Alia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not lie!\" the Love Guardian said firmly. \"If you lie, the trial shall end immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crypian and Alia looked around at the glowing red circle, then nodded to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We shall not lie about what we feel!\" they both said at the same time, their voices steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well...\" the Love Guardian nodded slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He loosened his tight grip on the handle of the sword and let it rest point-down on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I shall ask you 5 questions,\" the Love Guardian continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you answer them all correctly, you shall proceed to the next floor, and I shall become your guardian for life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We understand!\" Crypian said. He took a deep breath and glanced at Alia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can do this,\" Alia spoke with strong conviction shining in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her confident and determined expression, a warm, reassuring feeling filled Crypian’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned back toward the knight and said clearly, \"You may ask the questions!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Love Guardian nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the two of them with a satisfied gaze, then spoke in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here is the first question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he said those words, everything around them became completely quiet. The air felt heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thump... Thump... Thump... Thump...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crypian and Alia’s hearts started beating louder and faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat began to form on Crypian’s forehead as they waited nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drip!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One drop of sweat fell from Crypian’s face and hit the ground. In the silence, the Love Guardian’s deep voice finally echoed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is love?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1155,"2026-06-10T05:56:22.118Z",1,"novelbin.me","ffe3ab060568f2a1bcf597425c09a49f75d864fe5024ac03f1da1a2335a9b2d3","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-73","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-72",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
