The Conquerors Path

As my voice was heard the argument between the two of them stopped, with a frightening combo both of them turned their head towards me, I stayed calm under their stare as I spoke back,

"I didn't even bend down to the will of rulers of the world, what makes you think that I will listen to the both of you?"

My words were calm and rational, not a hint of anger could be felt, both Nix and Melvin were now looking at me with narrowed eyes, then Nix spoke,

"Fine but make sure that you know the level at which you can get close to Carmel"

'I see so that's their objective'

Looking at the both of them I could understand that their true desire was to scout out my real intent, I, after all, came in and suddenly seemed to be close to Carmel? this would definitely trigger warning bells in the head of these two, they are here to make sure that I know my place. After a few seconds, I started to shake my head as I looked at the both of them with pity,

"What are you looking at?"

Melvin snarled when he felt my pitiful gaze, I didn't back down as I spoke in a serious voice,

"Tell me both of you love Carmel, right?"

"Yeah, so what?"

Again the both of them replied at the same time, not a hint of embarrassment or hesitation in their voice, nodding my head I continued,

"That is what I find pitiful about you two, both of you try to get closer to her, try to win her heart but did the two of you ever bother to ask what she truly wants?"

"What are you talking about?"

Melvin asked with a dangerous glint in his eyes, again I shook my head at this, looking at the two of them with 'disappointment' I retorted,

"Calm down, look at you Melvin, looking at your eyes I could tell that you want to take me down, this is not love it's obsession, and it's controlling the two of you, if you truly love her then think about what she wants"

After finishing I didn't even wait for their response before which I started to walk away but then I stopped for a moment and spoke,

"Oh! also I have no romantic interest in Carmel, she may be beautiful and all but in truth she's not my type and I see her as a family"

With that I walked off not turning back, I knew I had done what had to be done, as for how I knew?

+10 affection

+12 affection

+15 affection

All of this affection was coming from Carmel who was looking at all this with a camaflouge, she was just a few steps far away from us, I don't know what she used but it's one hell of a hiding device but sadly it doesn't work against the system that had already shown me that she was close, well if you connect the dots this was quite normal.

How could Carmel with her intelligence not guess that her two best friends would make trouble for me? hell, I'm doubting that she did have a play in it, though in the end, I had considered it, after all, it was naive to believe that she would be 100% trusting and believing in me, this might have just been her way of seeing my true side but in her case, it became my manipulative side,

'How that for a beginning play?'

Snickering to myself, I left the place with no regrets, covering myself with my disguise I moved towards the hidden teleport room where I met with my maid Olivia, after a round of her pleasuring me I reached out and 'helped' her, though not to the full extent, afterward I headed towards the library where I had a fierce debate with Celestina and just in the nick of time I was summoned by my other mother, where I again spend my time becoming close,

'Damn....who said that having a harem was fun?'

Cursing the guy who said so I walked through the night streets of the Academy, stretching my body and yawning, all I wanted was to fall asleep, thankfully being the leader of a ring grants me many rights, like not having to have mandatory class and the fact that I don't have to collect Academy points, most of the stuff was free for me, its a mouth-watering privilege that all the ring bearers have, the insignia of the strongest.

This again highlighted the rule that the strongest would always have the best and if you want the best then simply be the strongest, shaking off my thoughts I entered my room and I didn't even change my clothes as I just fell to my bed, laying there a familiar scent filled my nose along with it the familiar voice hit me,

"Big brother are you alright?"

Turning my body and laying straight I came upon the sight of Elda laying beside me in a cute blue nightgown, her hair was sprawled across the bed and her green eyes were filled with gentleness and love as she gazed at me, to Elda's question I shook my head,

"Nope, the past and this day were too tiring and bothersome, some I don't even know what I should do"

"Don't worry you can talk to me"

Saying so Elda took my head and placed it on her lap, her smooth and boneless lap was softer than the world's best pillow, though I could say that this was the second-best lap pillow I got the first one belonged to Orpheus her lap pillow were on another level, hell I just wanted to sleep there forever, as I was being lost in my thoughts Elda spoke looking into my eyes from above,

"So what's the problem, big brother?"

Her voice was calm and caring, along with it she was lovingly patting my head, a sparkle of delight and satisfaction filled her eyes,

"Shouldn't I the big brother be the one who consoles you?"

"Nope, as your wife it's my duty to help my husband whenever he has difficulties"

"Wife?"

"Ma-Maybe not now but definitely in the future!"

Elda spoke in a hurried voice trying to hide her blush, I chuckled at her cute behavior but it did help me relax, raising my hand I lovingly caressed her face,

"How lucky am I to have you"

"Very lucky"

Elda instantly replied,

"Oh, someone's getting a bit narcissistic?"

"Humph, it's just the truth!"

Elda replied back with a cute pout, soon the both of us were laughing at our antics, a minute later silence descended to the room, only the sound of our breathing was heard as Elda kept patting my head with love, she would at times turn over my hair and place kisses on my forehead, her soft lips were leaving marks in my heart but what really got my heart going was the blush on her face afterward.

As a fairy bloodliner its hard for Elda to do such stuff yet her love oversees them all as she keeps kissing me, through this small progress was being made, like this, the next 10 minutes passed, finally relaxing I sighed in contentment at the same time Elda spoke,

"So what happened?"

"It Nora"

"Big sister?"

"Yes"

"What happened?"

Elda asked with a frown, for a moment 'hesitation' appeared on my face but then it all faded away as I 'sighed' and spoke

"She kissed me on the lips"

"!"

Elda's eyes widened in surprise but then her reply came

"That's all?"

"!"

This time my eyes widened in surprise.
