I Married the Strongest Magician - Chapter 14

She didn’t say a word…

Those eyes of hers—amber and beautiful like jewels—were now cold as ice, completely shut.

So, I decided to break the silence.

“Listen…Those of us with magic have something called a Magic Boiling Point.

You can’t see it. But it’s there. The Magic Boiling Point is like the upper limit of your magic.
If you go beyond it and keep using magic, your power starts to spiral out of control— wildly, uncontrollably. It doesn’t stop…

Cherie, you were just about at that point today.”

“Do you understand…what I’m trying to say?

Even if you killed Sarana… you’d only become a monster.”

“…And what if I said I don’t care?
If becoming a monster means I can kill her—then so be it.”

“I didn’t think you were that foolish…I’m disappointed.”

That was how I truly felt.

I could only imagine what kind of humiliation she had gone through. But to say she didn’t mind turning into a monster over it… That’s just madness.

All for a woman like that.

“You could never understand… how bitter this is for me…”

“I don’t want to understand. Stay trapped in your little world of noble pride if you want. I have no interest in a woman like that.”

I said it coldly—on purpose.

But truthfully…I wanted to melt that frozen heart of hers.

I wanted to wipe away all her fears and just hold her.

Yet she’s still caught in the chains of her past…

And there was nothing I could do about that.

…No. That’s a lie.

If I wanted to, I could wipe the Lysaria family off the map.

But…

Right now, I just don’t feel like going that far for her.
