Chapter 155 A Little Teasing~

"My lady, your highness, greetings. I've brought your water." A maid said from outside the study, prompting Fiona to respond once more.

And upon opening the door, she was surprised to see that it was a relatively young maid that brought the water, and not the elderly maid from before. "Thank you." She said, taking the tray from the maid.

"It is my pleasure, my lady." The maid bowed once more, and turned around to leave.

Fiona closed the door, and returned back to the table.

Upon turning, she was quick to catch Adonis staring back at her. And realizing his actions, the young prince hurriedly turned his head away.

'God, what am I doing?!' He thought with a sigh, avoiding eye contact as best as he could from Fiona.

'My God, he's such a cutie.' She thought, sitting down and preparing a set of tea and cake for the both of them.

She now understood why Damien and her older brother loved teasing her. "Your highness~" She gently called out, her tone soft, and a bit melodic to the ears.

"Ye–Yes..?" Adonis responded, taking the cup of tea and the cake she presented to him. He felt awfully embarrassed and awkward today.

More than ever, at that.

"Let us talk about the coming banquet, and how we want things to flow in our direction." She said, taking on a stern tone. Yet hints of joy were still apparent within her voice.

"The banquet? Oh, so that's why miss Fiona paid me a visit this late at night?" Adonis was slightly surprised, as he was not sure why she was here, and also teasing him.

This brought out a sigh of relief out of him.

Unfortunately, he said that out loud.

"Hm? Oh my, did young lord Adonis, expect something more spicy from me?" And Fiona took the opportunity to strike while the iron was still hot, teasing him in joy.

Now that she thought about it, her visit was a bit too sudden. Especially since it was past eleven p.m, and close to midnight. Such realization, had her feeling embarrassed as well.

...!!!

Adonis realized his mistake, and he hurriedly lowered his head in humiliation. His cheeks were painted red, and his thoughts were chaotic. 'I SAID THAT OUT LOUD?!' He dreaded his situation.

Meanwhile, Fiona was also partially embarrassed. Her cheeks were flushed red, as the topic itself was way out of her mind.

Talking about things like this with a boy was a first for her. Especially so, when the boy wasn't that far apart to her. In both age and status.

The fact that they could actually entangle right now, and no one would judge them, was too much for a virgin maiden such as herself.

It ignited a forbidden passion of fire within her.

...!!!

Her heart raced, and her cheeks were flushed redder than before. But seeing Adonis' situation, made her smile in triumph despite her embarrassment.

"..."

Thus, the night went on, awkwardly, and at some point, the two ended up talking about the real matters at hand. Right after they snacked in silence, and cleared out each other's name.

Adonis had no such thoughts about her visit, but Fiona bringing it out had him totally embarrassed. For himself, and also for her.

Fiona also mentioned how she understood, and apologized about her behavior.

But with the smile on her face, Adonis doubted she was truly apologetic about everything. Yet he did not mind. He was more than used to having such women around him.

And the fact that she promised to spend the coming nights with him everyday, helping with the work overload, made him forget about tonight's ordeal.

'I wont bother asking why at this time, but with her help, I'll hopefully sleep early. After all, my morning routine is a mini hellish adventure.' He thought, headed to his room after they snacked.

At the same time as Adonis went to bed, Damien sat atop the roof of their new home, looking up at the multitude of stars above him, bearing their glory down to him.

With the world becoming a Realm, whose to say the stars that were usually just mega-powerful extraterrestrial constructs, evolved into worlds of their own?

If a Realm was beyond Reality, then whose to say otherwise?

Damien was not one to doubt. The world he was previously at, had countless Realities as stars, and the sun as something even more terrifying than Reality.

"...I wonder how far will I take us to reach that stage with this given opportunity." He wondered to himself, before clearing out his thoughts.

The past days, they returned, and continued as usual. Teaching the scholars knowledge and magic, while teaching the maids and butlers assassination techniques.

And this was mainly for protection sake.

Some were just taught combat arts, and some defense arts. But it mattered not, as long as they were capable of defending themselves when the situation required it.

And when one took into consideration the high grade food they ate everyday, their attainments were faster than the average people.

The resources Damien brought from the Khloris Troll clan, was divided amongst the Gray family, the Gray House, and them, the Silver household.

Most were planted within a field behind the mansion, catered to by the butlers who knew how to do farm work. And with Damien's guidance, catering to high grade resources wasn't hard.

Yet that being the case, some resources were not edible for weaker individuals. The Rapom fruits were an example, as they were poisonous to mortals.

And some resources generally took years to care for. 'Well, that's easily solved through time magic. Unfortunately, Juliette has only begun delving in both space and time magic.' Damien thought to himself.

He had attempted to create a few time spells he knew off, but ended up making a mistake. He almost destroyed the resources he used, by causing them to age backwards instead.

His foundation of magic in this lifetime was poor. And even with his experience, he could only cast first and second spells at best. Third if he truly tried.

As for fouth circle spells? That was a different story altogether. And space magic and time magic were divine categorized magic. Unique magic to be precise.

"Its fine, either way." He said, standing up on the roof. "In a few weeks, she will have that solved. Until then, let's see what Destiny has in store for me today." He waved his hand, and conversed with Destiny.

Their future was still vibrant. There was no need to mentally twinkle with Destiny at the moment.

Plus, he was afraid of gaining the attention of the gods. Especially so, a certain dragon goddess born out of Destiny itself.

"I wonder... if your Destiny will be the same even in this lifetime." He subconsciously thought out loud, "For who knew that, the daughter of Destiny, and the one with the highest attainments of Destiny, would be incapable of deciphering her own Destiny."

The night went by, and soon enough, the weekend came by, the banquet was held, and both Adonis and Fiona perfectly took care of everything. Damien and Juliette were also invited.

Connections were formed, and introductions were made. Friends were born, and enemies arose. But ultimately, it was a peaceful encounter.

Adonis even went as far as introducing the Silver Project, and the founders of the project itself, the Silver family, and their achievements in magic and combat arts.

And though most were skeptical, and others were curious, nobody chose to fight with them, as the couple was quite rich. After all, Adonis introduced them as his supporters.

Plus, the high grade delicacies that they were having, which increased Mana, stats or even heal slight injuries and fatigue, were also said to come from them.

This of course attracted many eyes from the nobles, as a lot of people knew the value of such resources.

Yet Damien and Juliette did nothing to stop it. Nor did Adonis. They in fact, pretended as if everything was okay.

The banquet was then over after a couple of hours, and people retreated back to their households, where they began their plans and schemes.

Meanwhile, within the lounge of the castle of Avarice, Adonis could not help but slightly frown. "Are you sure this is okay, Lord Damien? Can your people handle it?" He inquired.

Even Fiona besides him was also worried, as she knew the hearts of human kind. There would not be happy with the success of their competitors.

"It's okay. Let them come. We will just uproot them faster this way." Damien brushed the matter off as he spoke, leaning back on the sofa he sat on.

"..."

"..."

Adonis and Fiona could only exchange gazes, and remain silent. They believed in Damien and Juliette's strength, but a part of them still worried for their situation.

But Damien and Juliette remained unbothered still, only bidding farewell and going back home together. They were completely worry-less.

And there were three reasons why they were not worried. The first was that, Juliette placed out inscriptions, formations and arrays around the Silver estate, which warded off outsiders.

While Damien set out runes and sigils atop them. All five of these layered together, created quite a paradiscal environment for their people.
