Chapter 506 506-When To Begin The End Game?
"A date?"
Sabrina asked back, her voice filled with suspicion. I corrected her, "Not exactly a date. I need to do something, and it would be nice to have you beside me, using your specific set of skills. They might come in handy. But if you want it to be a date, I can make it a date."
Sabrina didn"t respond directly, although the good thing is that her hand still keeps moving through my shoulder.
"What is it? Where is it? I need more details."
Sabrina finally spoke, her voice calm.
"The place and location, and the thing you should do, will all be a mystery. But I can guarantee you that I will give you a hint afterward for sure."
I replied.
"But that is not anything to go upon. How can I know that it"s a fair deal? And you should know that there are things I won"t lay my hand in."
Sabrina replied, the strength of her ma.s.sage increasing with the strength of her voice. I took a moment of silence, after which I spoke.
"Then no need to come. I hate to break it to you, Princess Sabrina, but right now, you are not in a position of power. Quite frankly, I can get this done even without your help..."
As I finished saying so, Sabrina paused her fingers for a moment, after which she started again. A comforting silence started to settle between us till Sabrina suddenly spoke.
"Give me a light detail of where we are going, and you have a deal. But get this, if whatever we are doing goes against my codes, I will pull back, even if it means my death."
"You know what? I will humor you and take this deal. It will be fun to see how things would end."
I replied to her words as I closed my eyes and leaned back in the chair.
"The details you have asked for are in that table. You can take it and leave after ma.s.saging me for 5 more minutes."
My words had their intended effect as Sabrina"s hands paused once more. This time, her hands took a bit more time to start ma.s.saging me again.
"Guess she might be fuming inside..."
The prospect of the information she asked for already set means that I played her. Every action she took to the last words she might need, I controlled her to get into the situation, which means that I knew her better than she knew me. And to a woman that strived on her intelligence and her ability to foresee actions, my playing with her like this would be very humiliating to her.
"But she will get over it, and she will definitely hit me back."
Playing with her type of woman is dangerous; you must have the correct level of push and pull. If not, then you might get pushed off a cliff without you ever knowing about it.
"Sigh...the vicissitudes of life."
Musing at my life as always, I enjoyed the ma.s.sage for 5 minutes after which Sabrina left with the file in her hands. But just before she left, her words lingered.
"Emily seems to be planning something big..."
"When isn"t she?"
With such words, Sabrina left, leaving me to muse on how I should proceed forward. I already have set plans on dealing with all the women, but what changes are the time and degree of how I implement my plans. After all, things don"t always go according to my plan, and reality always throws a wrench into even the most thought-out executions.
"I guess I need to deal with both the Elven princess and the half-elf at a similar time chain."
It would be best if the two of them could even form an alliance. An alliance is the best course that things can lead to. This would mean investment from the girls and a sense of attachment, which sadly would end the day the alliance breaks. But what if I can make the alliance stick? What if they have no other choice but to stand together to get me?
Then things would work out in a very desirable manner. Of course, there would be battles and hate; in fact, some blood might be shed. But I think that is something necessary. If they don"t release that inbuilt jealousy once in a while, it will build up to break into something very, very ugly.
"But I am a long way from that scenario."
The ending I need is still far away. I have yet to lay my hands on all the women I marked, and moreover, the world itself seems to throw new variables into my plans. Just like Zelda, even above that, there is the added trouble of my bloodline. I"m sure that with this crazy world, there still exist women that have yet to fully meet me, ones that are bounded to me by bloodlines.
"It would be easier to deal with if they weren"t married..."
Right now, I have only met 3 so far: Lora, Vena, and Nathalia. Thankfully, Nathalia is something I can manage, but the other two are the issue. And if it ever turns out the rest that lay has certain positions like Lora and Vena, then I would be in for a h.e.l.l of a ride.
Just as I kept thinking, I felt a weight on my lap along with a very familiar hug. Smiling, I hugged Aria back, my eyes still closed as I started to lightly play with her hair.
"I also need to settle with Shira soon."
The end play for her family is close, and in the next week, I would need to move in for that. And perhaps if I am successful, I will finally get the first piece of information it has promised me. From then, I spent the rest of the time with Aria until the evening arrived. The practical training for Grace"s cla.s.s would be done, and hence I moved toward my family"s mansion while keeping Aria hidden.
Just as I entered, I caught the body that rushed to me, hugging Elda"s lithe body. I placed a small kiss on her forehead, seeing that we were in the open hallway with the servants, I kept my affections at bay.
"Hehehe... I missed you, big brother!"
"Silly girl, I have been only gone for 2 days."
I replied with an indulging smile.
"But I still missed you!"
Elda replied back by giving me a kiss on my cheek as she started to pull me into the room. Soon entering it, I came to see both Grace and Nora having some tea, both looking the same as I saw them the time before.
Just as we entered inside the room and the door closed, Elda turned to me, jumping upon me as she took my lips. Seeing so, I held her waist as my lips started to taste hers, my tongue finding its way into her mouth as our lips rubbed against each other. Through the corner of my eye, I could see the surprise coloring both Grace"s and Nora"s faces.
"This little minx is getting bolder."
This is the first time that we have done anything beyond what a family should, even after the secret became open amongst us, both Elda and Nora kept a respective approach. But it seems that ends now.
"Um~ that"s better."
Elda said as she let go of my lips, her lips looking redder and slippery, and so did mine. I chuckled at her behavior as I moved forward and took another kiss from her.
"I missed you."
I said letting go of the kiss and Elda as I walked towards Nora, whose eyes flashed with a hint of panic as I reached her and kissed her lips as she sat in the chair. She tried to react, but the moment my lips met hers, she melted into my embrace. Soon, our lips tangled in a war of love after which I broke from it.
"I love you."
I said to her before placing a kiss on her cheeks, then I turned towards Grace and placed a kiss on her cheeks. The thing between us is, after all, still a secret. Having my fill, I sat next to Nora as Elda jumped into my embrace. But the moment she did, Aria appeared, her cheeks puffed up as she spoke.
"No! My daddy!"
As she said so, she vigorously wrapped her hands around me, her appearance surprised the other three, but then they could only shake their heads.
"Looks like Aria caused her fair share of problems when I was away."
