"You know?"
The path the two were walking is pitched black, not one source of light could be seen, and weirdly there's no trace of sound except their voices.
The sounds of footsteps could not be heard, as black as the path is, he can't see Tiamat's presence, on Tiamat's side, whether she could see him or not is another matter. His eyesight may be of no use, but he could still pinpoint and sense where Tiamat is by using other means.
Tiamat's overbearing aura, especially.
"What?"
"I mean, how'd you know that I was coming for the world source."
"Oh, its because it's the world source. It contains a huge amount of energy or magical power within it, this queen would be ashamed if this queen can't feel it."
"I see, is it weird that I can't seem to feel or sense anything at all?"
"Weird? No. It's not that unusual for you to not sense it with that measly power of yours."
Tiamat gave him a white look.
"Disdaining me now are we?"
He glanced at her.
"Ara, why do you think so?"
She glanced back, before smiling as she said.
Seeing her smiling all of a sudden, he felt inexplicable before saying.
"Nothing really, in any case the one who was shivering with her body before, was not me.
"What do you mean?"
She frowned.
"What ever could I mean, hm?"
He smiled
"Ara, it was but an instant. If it were now, you wouldn't even have the slightest chance to resist."
She didn't bother getting angry.
"Yeah, yeah. Continue amusing me."
"You don't believe it? Unlike before, it was already quite a while when this queen arrive in this realm, all the shackles that this world restricted this queen are all already broken."
She said while giving him a look as if she would eat him.
"Huh? You're not serious right? I don't believe it."
He really didn't believe it. Even if he did, he didn't know the immensity of her words. Her state of being restricted and not being restricted. Is a different level altogether.
"Ara, then do you want to test with this queen? this queen could throw one or two divine arts right at you if you want."
"I didn't think you also know how to tease someone."
"Eh?... teasing you? this queen did?" Her expression suddenly change to disbelief.
"Isn't it?"
"Was that so... maybe it is?" She also didn't understand.
"Why are you asking me?... You're the one who said it."
"Hm... hey, this queen has a question... what impression does this queen give you?"
"You? let's see..." He frowned and thought for a while before answering, "Majestic, beautiful, and arrogant I think?"
"Go on continue..."
"Continue? You mean to explain?"
"Mn."
Seeing her nod, he continued.
"When I first saw you, my first thought was like: "Uhh, this woman is really good" Your expression and your aura brought upon feeling as if you are looking down on every being in the world, disdaining them as if they were like lower life forms incomparable to your majestic self. This kind of thing, maybe it's only my preference but I like it...
...and you being a beauty probably doesn't need an explanation, at least for me your the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, I gotta admit even better than my women. As for you being arrogant, it was already an undisputable fact that can't be denied as it greatly compliments of how you gave the feeling of looking upon the whole world."
"Is that all? Any other thoughts?" She is interested of knowing more.
He noticed that she is really interested of knowing more about what he think of her. Not wanting to destroy the current mood, he didn't disappoint her and continued.
"After talking and fighting with you, my impression never change, it was also then that I found out that the feeling you gave me didn't disappoint. With a power comparable to yours, you have the right to really look down upon many beings. You also come out as very terrifying, with that cold eyes and expression of yours, as if looking at us like we're a pile of corpses.
"Ara, was this queen really that terrifying? Scared?" Tiamat smiled beautifully.
"To be honest, no. Although you come out as terrifying, it's not enough to scare me. Instead it makes me even like you more. You need to know that men like to conquer strong women. It's just feel really good to imagine a woman being usually cold and arrogant will be meek and blush in front of you.
"Ara, you have such weird tastes. But don't think that it's easy to make strong women obey you at will. And this queen? You don't have a chance." Tiamat chuckled.
"Hard? conquering you? You're my maid already, it also means that you would be the one who will always be my side. It will be easy for me act cool and let you see what my strong sides are, with that in no time you would fall.
"Ara ara, this queen can't wait for that to happen, since it never will." Tiamat laughed. In this whole conversation, she was strangely happy. She was never the one to be talkative.
Oh right, I've noticed that in this whole conversation you used a lot of Ara(Oh my). Usually, this word only comes out from big-breasted onee-san's and beautiful young milf's." He couldn't help but mention it, as it caught him off guard for a bit.
"This queen doesn't understand what you are talking about and this queen just likes talking to you this way." Tiamat smiled.
"Is that so, well if that's what you want. But can you please stop referring yourself as 'this queen'. I don't like it."
"Hehh... you don't like it? that is this queen's noble identity you know?! Do you really not like it...?" Tiamat said with a condescending attitude, pressuring him.
But he didn't even flinch.
An ash gray light suddenly brightened, this light isolated the darkness. Both of their figures can be finally seen.
Holding her chin, his deep blue eyes gazed directly at her. He said, "A queen must have her King... do you have a king?"
Tiamat's eyes brightened as a gap appeared in her mouth as if she was taken back and don't know what to say.
After a moment of trance, Tiamat dodged her eyes, quickly taking a step back before chucking. "What do you think?"
She gave him a teasing smile.
"I'm not joking, do you have one?" He held her arms, grasping it. Not letting her escape
"What if this queen has it?" Her smile grew even wider, it was already a huge grin.
"Then, I'll just have to kill him, the moment you have a connection with me, you were destined to be mine."
She didn't dodge his gaze this time, and instead directly face it. "How overbearing, this queen likes it. But I'm afraid... a king that can conquer this queen still doesn't exist."
"How about me?"
"You?... you're too weak... but..."
"But?"
"But... nothing, fufu." Tiamat chuckled, teasing him.
"Heh, I'm maybe weak now in your standards. But it won't be long, soon I'll prove you wrong as your king already has been born." He said confidently, calculating how fast his improvements were, it really might not be long before he will surpass her.
"Okay, then prove this queen wrong. No, from this moment on I shall not refer to myself as queen. It'll need to wait before my king appears." Tiamat smiled.
"I'll be your king, but you being my queen is not an established fact. As for now, your only my maid." He grinned.
"Ara." Tiamat covered her mouth, chuckling. "I didn't mention anything about being your queen, wait when you are worthy for me to consider.
"Well..." He nodded
"Then let's go my master? fufu." Tiamat chucked.
