Chapter 230 Disappointment Comes Back Home.
While Chiron was having his conversation with the Elder Shaman, he received different Aerts both of which were for his servants.
<Congratulations Host: Servant Carla promoted to Level 5 Demon>
<Congratulations Host: Servant Emma Promoted to Level 6 Demon>
Carla's promotion to Level 5 was easily understood. However, Emma had just been promoted about two levels. She was now equivalent to a peak stage stone cultivator.
This was good news for Chiron, however....
...
Emma and Victor had just finished their 'Royale Rumble.'
The battle had been fierce. It had started out in the room, but had some how ended up on the floor of the bathroom.
Both of them laid on their backs. Panting continually for air.
The smell of sweat and bodily fluids filled the air, making it moist and stuffy.
"That was..." Prince Victor paused, "Incredible!"
He and Emma turned to each other, and then both gave themselves a laugh.
"Yeah! It was." Emma nodded. However, she suddenly frowned.
"I have lived a very terrible life. My father was obsessed with making the perfect weapon. Because of it, I ended up losing my entire family. My mother left him for another man. But that was the easy part. My father's unhealthy obsession made us broke, and worse of all, my brother died," as she spoke, she sobbed lowly.
Victor saw this, and he was emotionally moved, "Shush..." he pulled her closer into his embrace, "don't worry, I got you now."
Emma nodded, "Master Chiron ended up killing my father and he snatched me from him. Because of some hyped dream to be the greatest Cultivator, my life was turned upside down."
She broke deeper into sobs and Victor held her closer to his chest, "Mmmmm, I understand. I too have lost things important to me because of another person. My mother was driven to madness by my father. She soon lost her life in a terrible accident. And I know you might not believe me, I still miss my big sister."
Victor sighed lowly. As he talked, Emma held him tighter and her fingers danced open his bare skin.
Such was the way of the world. Misery loved company.
At this moment, both of them felt very connected to one another at a very primal level.
Victor grabbed her by her chin, and then he pulled her closer, blessing her forehead with a kiss.
However, Emma remembered something. She paused and then she pushed him away and stood to her feet.
Immediately, she went into the room to dress up.
Victor watched in surprise as she dressed up.
Soon, she was about to leave.
Immediately, Victor followed after her, "where are you going?"
"Back to my master!"
This reply made Victor frown.
Emma turned to leave again and he pulled her closer once more, "please don't go! you can stay here with me."
"what do you mean?" Emma looked away from him, "I'm some else's property. I can't..." she struggled out of his hold.
Even though he was several times stronger than her, she manage to break free, but he brought her closer again.
"What If I bought you from him?"
"You can't! Trust me, you don't know master Chiron. He is..." she paused unable to say the words she wanted to, "just... forget about everything that just happened. It's for the best. Besides, what I have with him is not ordinary."
She tried to leave again, but he stopped her again, "but what we have is not ordinary," he grabbed her by her curvy waist and pulled her into himself, "I know that deep down, you feel it too! Just stay with me. I can make sure that you never have to fee pain again!"
"But..." she stammered, "but I have a blood oath with Master Chiron!"
Victor gave a sly smile, "I know! and there are ways to dissolve that. I can help you break those bonds!"
"But...But I'm a slave!"
Victor beat with his chest, "and I'm a future king. I can do what I want." He grabbed both her hands, "I know this sounds inappropriate, but I think I must have fallen in love with you."
"Huh!?" Emma Gasped, "You should not say such things. what will your father or my master..."
"To hell with them! The Old man will soon die, and my nephew is but a child. Stay with me, and I'll give you the world."
He suddenly sank his lips in her own, stealing a passionate kiss.
"So what do you say? cause, I know you feel it too. I know you feel our bond. Or don't you?"
She blushed slightly, and as the Red showed on her cheeks, Victor could feel his passion igniting up once more.
His sin of the middle realm was Lust. This was a sin different from the others. Expecially because of the kind of access he had as prince.
He could have any woman he wished and instead of him to train more and concerntrate on controling it, he ended up exploring it.
At first, it was just the exploration of the maids in the palace. However, they were soon not enough to quench his fire. Besides, he usually ended up breaking them.
And so he sort out more experienced hands that could handle his burning desire.
For this, he made a schedule with a particular club within the Kingdom.
This club was called the Lost treasure.
Every day, he would have women skilled in the exotic art of love making visit him to keep his fire in check.
Truthfully, it was never enough. Even after his sessions with the women, he would still feel the desire to mount them again and again.
The only thing those sessions helped for, was to make it more controllable for him.
In fact, if not for his princely duties, he would rather engage in the art from morning to night.
However, with Emma, it was different.
For some reason he could not understand, this was the first time he had engaged in the art and truly felt satisfied.
In fact, he felt a little drained.
There was something about her that pulled him in and he just could not put a finger on it.
It was deep and it was primal, and it made him feel like he had found a sorting ace to rest his head and rest forever.
He pulled her in and hugged her deeply.
"Stay with me, and in this life, I'll give you anything you desire."
She smiled shyly.
However, as they embraced, he did not see the look of disgust written all over her face...
....
Around the same time, in a far off place, or rather, back at what used to be the once lush and beautiful but now ruins and death Chikitsa clan, Knight Sheyi was conducting his last raid.
This raid was on the Devils that had come into this world from the gate Chiron had summoned.
For months now, he had been cleaning up after the mess Chiron made.
In this matter, he had no choice. As a knight of the holy church, he had to ensure the world was without such filt.
Besides, it was his carelessness that caused it.
Luckily, Devils had a fatal advantage to them. in that they cannot exist for long outside the Nether realm.
For them to exist in this world, they had to possess the body of people.
For this reason, devil's never went too far away from the nether gate.
However, Commander Hardstone had destroyed the nether gate.
And the Chikitsa clan had nearly been totally wiped away of people.
He had gathered the remaining of his forces to wipe out the devil's around. And even went far enough to clear off the ones that had attacked the neighboring clans.
Although a lot of work had been done, this entire thing had shown his incompetency and this was not going to end well for him.
After the last raid, he went back with the other members of the holy church which included Kevin and Danfo who had somehow made it out alive.
They all came back to the F.O.B tired and sore.
All of them including Knight Sheyi had on dirty robes.
Some of them tried to help each other walk and the others, walked slowly on their own.
All of them were silent. They had failed terribly in the capture of one young boy.
This was a terrible slap on their faces.
With tricks upon tricks, Chiron had eventually Succeeded at escaping from their grasp.
Although, Knight Sheyi had won in the end, he was still unable to kill him.
This was also Fate at work.
For every action, there was an opposite or equal reaction.
Even though Chiron was going against Fate and Fate working against him, his actions had somehow set a way for him.
By tampering with his mother's grave, he unknowingly secured a future rescue.
Dispirited, they went back to the F.O.B (Forward Operating Base)
Knight Sheyi could not help but stop only about two hundred meters to the base.
In front of the base, was a lone figure with a smile on her face. Looking at him with disgrace written in her eyes.
"shit!" he cursed out loud.
