Chapter 43- A Laugh Of Seduction

A few days passed peacefully, Elise decided that she will stay for a week before she returns to the capital and prepared herself for enrolling in the academy. She also needed to train more before the new year. The fact that she still didn't gain any new skills weighed on her mind greatly which is also the reason why she decided to stay in the silvereye mansion for a while.

Damian and Selina were more than glad to let her stay. Especially Selina who kept giggling as she looked at Rin and Elise with a meaningful looks. Her imagination was running wild about their relationship which both of them were too tired to deny.

She even went as far as to allow her to stay with Rin in a secluded house if they wanted which was obviously returned with a hard no from both of them.

"Hah… Hah… I'm dead." Rin muttered as he wiped the sweat from his face. In his hand was a dagger and his other hand was dangling tiredly.

"You are being too soft, Rin. Keep your posture straight and try to put more strength into your attacks." Aria replied with a stern look on her face.

"Sigh, I know…" He shook his head before sitting down to drink some water.

'Aria is really strict when it comes to training.'

But, even with that, Rin didn't really feel any kind of annyoment from her attitude. In fact, he pretty much appreciated that. Aria was always a serious person when it came to training and other important stuff but instantly turns into a tease and a chill person when they are relaxing or when there is nothing to do.

In the past few days, she made sure to tease him at every possible opportunity. This new hobby of hers made her feel thrilled and excited for some reason. Even the light in her eyes changes as she tries to extract as many cute reactions as possible from Rin.

The latter did try to fight back with teasing of his own and he did succeed at it. He sometimes whispers in her ear out of nowhere which makes her blush greatly and even pouts sometimes when he teases her too much. That went on for a few days as they went back and forth between them.

"What are you doing?" Aria asked as she peeked at him.

"Nothing, I was just wondering what Elise is doing?"

"Huh? Why are you thinking about her out of nowhere?" Aria's eyes turned slightly colder but then quickly returned to normal.

It didn't go unnoticed by Rin but he didn't try to mention it as he knew that the two girls weren't particularly on good terms at the moment. He didn't know why though as he they were both quite similar and could be friends if they tried to talk with each other.

"Well, she wanted to train alone so I wondered whether she needed help or not."

"Hmph! She can deal with her own problems." Aria replied as she crossed her arms together, emphasizing her huge breasts even more. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

"She's my friend, you know."

"I don't care."

"Come on, Aria. Don't be like that. Elise is a good person. You shouldn't treat her like that." Rin coaxed her as he patted her head. Even though she was angry, Aria instinctively leaned on his hand to enjoy the pat even more.

"You will never get it, Rin. We both can't simply co-exist in the same place."

'Next to you.' She added in her head.

"Sigh, you are really stubborn."

As they were like that, the person they were talking about came toward them. She was wearing simple yet flexible clothes that were practical for training and other activities. However, even under these clothes, her perfect body can't be hidden at all.

In fact, these clothes made her hidden body even more attractive as they left room for imagination to run wild.

Rin could only admire her mesmerizing beauty whenever he saw her. But, he obviously hid that fact from everyone to avoid embarrassing situations.

"Hey, Elise!" He said with a smile.

The latter nodded at him simply and then looked at Aria with the same gesture. The latter replied but she didn't look happy at all.

"I will be returning to the capital tomorrow. It seems that it's one of my siblings' birthdays." She said.

"I see. Well, you were going to go back sooner or later." Rin nodded his head.

"The thing is, you and your family are invited too."

"Huh? Shouldn't this be a private birthday?"

Rin knew that in this country, nobility and royales aren't as they are depicted in other fiction. They are still greedy and sly but they aren't as social at all.

Parties were a rare thing between them and even rare that they invite other nobilities to their parties. The only exception to that is huge events like this one. Rin assumed that they won't be invited to it as it is not a tradition to do so.

"Father invited all the nobles for this. He also made sure to remind me to invite you too. He wants to meet you."

'The king wants to meet me? Wait, is this some kind of misunderstanding?'

At that moment, he felt a chill run down his spine as he rigidly looked at his sister. The aura around her turned extremely cold for a second.

However, her face didn't change at all with the same calm smile she always had.

'She's pissed!' Rin sweated profusely as he tried to calm down the situation.

"I also wanted to meet the king myself. This is a good opportunity to get to know him."

Elise understood his intentions and could only sigh under her breath exasperatedly.

"Anyway, we will depart tomorrow. Make sure to prepare yourself."

After that, Elise walked back inside the house. For some reason, Rin felt that she was bothered by something. He didn't quite get what it was but he was sure that it wasn't a simple matter for Elise to be annoyed with.

'I will ask her when I have the time.'

Then, both Rin and Elise walked inside to get prepared. Even though it was a sudden thing, they had to keep face and go even if it was inconvenient for both of them.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to everyone, in an unknown place somewhere in the world.

A man was sitting behind a desk in his office. His hand was holding a pen as he scribbled something on a piece of paper. In front of him, stacks and stacks of documents were piled waiting for him to touch them.

As he finished writing on that paper, he stopped and stretched his rusty limbs with a yawn. Looking at the man, he was quite old with a body clearly overweight.

Resting his back on the chair, he breathed out a long sigh. He then clicked his tongue seemingly remembering something unpleasant.

'That bitch of a wife pisses me off. I don't get what's the problem with having some fun with younger women. I mean, what the hell?! Did she look at her own body? She's uglier than a pig. Seeing her alone makes my dick go flaccid.'

A huge frown appeared on his face the more he recalled all the arguments he went through with his wife. He really hated her and would've divorced her in a heartbeat was it not for the fact that her family was way bigger than his and they would basically destroy him if he made her angry.

'Goddamit! Why do I have to suffer through all of this? I just want some fun. Is that too much?! Fuck this shit! Anyway, I should finish all of these student documents and then go to sleep.'

Then, he returned to work. As he was like that, a small gush of air ruffled his hair slightly. At first, the man didn't really think much about it but when his mind registered the odd thing about it, he quickly turned around.

'How can there be air inside when it's…' Before he could even finish his thought, a smell reached his nostrils and made him visibly freeze in his place seemingly turning into a statue.

"Fufufu. Tired, are we?~" An incredibly sweet and melodic voice spoke to him from the darkness of the room in the corner. The windows were wide open.

The man quickly woke up from his shock and looked at the invader with a wary look. Normally, a person will either run away or try to take a fighting pose against a threat but the man just simply looked at the person he didn't know.

"Poor man, I heard your cry for help from afar and came to salvage your life~"

Appearing from behind the veil of darkness, the man's tired eyes widened in shock. Not because he knew her but because she was by far the most attractive woman he had ever witnessed in his life.

Living a life of debauchery, he had already seen all kinds of women varying in beauty but this one took the cake and at it all in that department.

More than beauty, she was like a walking, talking sexual desire in disguise. Her whole being exuded a charm far from what any normal woman could do.

Before he could even say anything, the woman had already vanished and appeared behind him before she wrapped her delicate white arms around his neck gently. Her incredibly addictive voice whispered in his ear.

"How about I help you relax? Maybe go to sleep too?~"

The man's reasoning flew by the moment she touched him. Then, he turned around and looked at her with hazy eyes.

"Yes… my lady."

(A//N: A major character appeared. This is one is simply 'fun'. Hope you like her.)
