"Master seeing you for the first time this vulnerable is kind of pushing my buttons." Mai said while caressing Rekka's head. But the usual response wasn't there. As such Mai left it at that. She acted like a soft hearted big sister would and let him sleep on her lap.
That day, as vulnerable as Rekka was, no one was able to even touch him because of Mai's extreme big sister aura. It was very helpful for healing, nonetheless he wouldn't remember it.
And with that, his image of a man who didn't fear anything in the world was saved.
.......
"I can't believe Ma'am was able to do that…." as Nadia, my most loyal servant said that while we traveled back to our main base, I could see her face that rarely changed it's expressions, form an expression of sheer surprise.
Today I really had taken the biggest gamble of my life. I had messed with something that I never should have messed with, one wrong move and I could have been buried under ground before I could even say a word.
Rekka wolford…. Suddenly coming out into the world, he didn't hesitate to use what he was given at all…. Leila is a girl who should never even think of helping a man no matter the hero's grandson or not…. He not only got her help but the girl had utterly fallen for him in a matter of months, no weeks perhaps...
For that reason, the image of my best friend I had, was deformed quite a bit in my view… a best friend of mine shouldn't get under a man?
His charms leap beyond even that as he got the Furious princess Alice to fall for him as well… later when I found that he had bested her in combat and earned a respect that no one till now had earned… I was assured that he had the brains to get Leila and the bronze to get Alice.
I may have been underestimating him.
As I made my plans and helped Leila to sell out everything Rekka wanted to sell…. A situation that I had never anticipated came by… a war… I never intended that to happen… I wasn't so cruel as to make human lives sacrifice for my plan… but before I got to do anything at all…. Again…. He came like a gale and stopped the war that had already started… if that wasn't enough, Rekka even did something that started the trade between these two countries like wild fire.
I don't know what happened… as many died in Stein for unknown reasons… but I know that the ones that came out of the war, "I never want Sir Rekka to be my enemy, although as long as he is like that, I never even think we have to look at him like that either…"
Many had the same thoughts… whatever that man had done…. He not only showed them his strength but even made an impression deserving of respect….
As I got into contact with Leila after a long while to see what was really happening, I heard another impossible news...
"What!? P-princess Leilana! Got engaged with him too!"
"SHhh! That hasn't happened yet…! Cadia, keep it quiet, it would take a little time but in under a month the news would come out. Rekka really charmed the girl. I couldn't help but cheer for her too. Although I liked it when Rekka got on knees after that and apologized to me for taking yet another girl.."
As Leila said that to me, her expression made one believe that she was more than proud of her man…. But did that guy really get on his knees for such a small reason? The marriage was essential here… if anything, Leila would be welcoming this marriage…. That she did too…. Still…. So he had a guilt for such a small reason… he might be more considerate then I had thought….
Before I was able to think anything more, I talked with Leila until our time was up. Leila was happy….
"Sigh…. Can't believe my friend would be this happy…." as I sighed, I got a portrait of the man I had been looking for so long… Leila herself gave one to me… I only wanted it as a thing to sell… that is what I told Leila…
"Ma'am your plan is ready, we can enact it in your words."
Those were all I needed to hear before I went to get myself a man too…
sigh…. I was so scared….
"...I can even give you my body… believe it or not, I am a devoted woman. If you accept me I will devote myself to you body and soul until my death" I said as I leaned on Rekka…
He was a man that was very hard to sway, his control over his body was so hard to bypass that I had to get serious and actually get in contact with him… but still….
"I don't think you have to do all that Miss Acadia… I will be glad to invest in your company if you'd like… I mean! I don't even know you enough!" as he overcame even that, I sat on his lap.
I was flustered myself… before now, I only had fun with girls… I don't like to do this with men. They get vulgar just by the sight of me… I did take more than enough advantage of that fickle nature, I robbed so many good contracts from them that even after all that, they couldn't try to take revenge, making me where I am now… but still…. What about this man!! As I sat on his lap, I didn't feel it…
As per calculation and from many experienced girls who had told me about men, right about now something should be poking me… hmm…. As I stared hard at him, I looked at him closely…. He certainly looked flustered… but not enchanted at all… he… he was… resisting it… he was resisting me…
As a sudden storm like rage hit me I started to talk… if you can't win a man by a single touch… you should coerce him with sweet talk!
"If you are thinking about that Sir Rekka, I know everything about you, I know you like black dresses on girls, same for the innerwear, you like to have many different types of food, like to travel to different places, don't like being gaudy but also don't like to be looked on as a mere commoner and tend to speak the truth… but you are currently hiding your true feelings. You are much more violent than you let on, as a girl that loves destruction too, I am quite like you in a way. Still if you want us to get to know each other better.." I talked and talked…
But he never got swayed… not all of what I said was a ruse… I really did know him well… Leila blabbed everything about him to me, I was her best friends I know everything what Leila knows. in my life, he was the only man I had ever researched about…. I dressed up and dolled up only for him, was it not enough!
But what is this…. He.. was not becoming swayed at all.. As I took in a sharp breath and thought of doing something that I had only done with girls until now… I felt my body getting hot….
I know that I was this close to a man for the first time.. But was I really getting swayed and not him? As I stopped those thoughts and went for the kiss…
…..
I want him…. I want him… what is this…. He is…. Like a limited time treat… I now know why Leila was so mesmerized by him….
The man… Rekka… really was something else… Even after I kissed him… he relented for quite a while, I felt as if I would suffocate at one point but didn't separate my lips from him… but… as soon as I felt that he still had no intention for me at all…
He didn't want to take advantage of a girl that was ready to give him everything right now! my heart suddenly felt warm… he still looked at me with such a kind gaze… where was the lust?
Even after seducing him he still looked at me like I was a normal girl…? did he feel that I was at my wits end too? he never actually wanted this, did he…? no did I have to scheme so much? Rekka... you would have loved me anyway if you saw me struggling won't you?
I see now… I guess I fell for him… as soon as I realized this, I remembered that I was still kissing him…. I put even more passion into my lips, I had told him I was devoted, I would prove with a single kiss just how devoted I am! But the thing that had not yet rised until now… I felt it… it really was there… and now it was reacting to me… I felt the sudden sensation making me breakout of his kiss… or my kiss…
As I looked at him for maybe the first time actually looking at him with love… he looked too troubled to even realize that he had enchanted me… I who played with men's hearts to reach a place of unparalleled wealth, I who tricked any and all around the land to get where I am...…
ha ha… it only took him a few minutes to make me fall for him... and he hadn't even done a thing... it was all my doing...
...…...
"Nadia… it's nice when you find a man you know?" as I said that again after remembering the few minutes that I had spent not too long ago… my face easily formed a blush that it never had…
"Lets change our base to Brandel. My future husband should always be close to me." As I said, I made plans to change locations. A natural trap for any man should be a bewitching woman, then what should we call Rekka then?
......…..
I got up fresh in the morning and did some light exercises. It felt like a new morning. I had a great sleep.
"Good morning!" Leila and everyone of my fiancées were there having a light breakfast.
As this was the best place... to let it all out, I sat down and started telling what nightmare went by yesterday.
"Leila… and all of you… I got a new fiancée.." as if my statement was a joke, nobody reacted much but as I stayed silent with a guilty look. The room felt cold all of a sudden.
"Master, if this was a joke, you should tell that to everyone now." Systy who had returned with Alice yesterday night said from behind me. But I shook my head confirming the point.
"Who is it?" Leila asked with a look as if I was lower than a bug. It was true that They were telling me to get any girl I want but the head condition was to let them know who I wanted.
They would cross check it and all, then give me an ok or not ok, in the first place I had just told them I was already satisfied, I don't need any more girls. So as I had made quite the blunder, it was understandable. But right now that can wait.
"It's a merchant called Acadia Flameheart." As I said so, Leila seemed to back up a bit.. I was relieved that she wasn't giving me those glares of hers anymore. Maybe she already knew that merchant.
"Huh…. that girl? You…" as she was saying, suddenly there was commotion from the main gate and as if appearing after being called... Acadia entered the dining room with full force.
"I am now Officially here!" she declared cheerfully with a loud voice, disregarding the people, she practically came towards me. As if seeing the devil reincarnate, I flash stepped behind Leila.
"Th-That's her Leila! She is like a devil!, the second coming of Amanori I tell you!" Leila on the other hand looked flabbergasted on the spot.
Maybe seeing me frightened for the first time was too much for her or maybe she was because of that Merchant girl, I didn't know. The only thing that mattered was, I was now safe since the girls were here. For a girl like Acadia… girls were the best weapons for use against her.
"Acadia, when did this happen?!" As Leila looked down on Acadia and questioned as if they were friends I got a bit confused.
"Yesterday! Didn't Honey tell you guys?" As Acadia replied with an innocent tone, Leila put her hand on Acadia's temple and asked again.
"Explain." I could feel they were close or else Leila wouldn't get so casual, maybe?
"Remember when you told me to sell those monster materials as fast as I can so you could meet your sweet heart? I made my plan from then. Now can you let go? It hurts!" I wonder what they were talking about?
"You were planning for this for 3 months?" As Leila Mentioned 3 months ago while her hand was crushing Acadia's head, it must be the time when I just came here.
"Yes~ and Rekka fell in my lovely trap yesterday, so I sealed the deal on the spot." As if it was a huge achievement, she did a v pose. Boy… even while I know she was in pain, she really lived her victory to the end.
"S-sealed the deal? What do you mean?" Leila got unusually flustered finally letting go of Acadia
"Ho ho ho, don't worry, even as I tried, honey didn't let me pass his defenses. I only got a measly kiss…" Acadia was spouting nonsense. That was definitely not a measly kiss! As deep as she went, she could plant a whole tree! Ah...that doesn't sound right...
"That was definitely not a measly kiss! I was close to passing out!" As I said so from behind Leila, it was as if Leila twitched a bit. I think I just made my own grave.
"Oh Really?"
"No… I.. We... had a better experience a long time ago, I mean A month ago yeah…" I said to make Leila believe that the kiss we had was even more special.
"Hhaah." as if giving up, Leila sat down again. I went to my seat too and Acadia was Kneeling in front of Leila.
"If you just had said, I wouldn't have minded you know?" Leila said, looking at Acadia.
"That's just not my style. So when he was vulnerable and alone I caught him."
"I am not a wild rabbit you know? You guys are talking as if I am a weakling."
Everything had turned out a bit different from what I had imagined. Here I thought that Leila would hate me for getting with a girl before I told her any of it but it seemed that Acadia and Leila knew each other or rather they both are best friends. When Leila had used Acadia's help to sell off all those materials, I was as good as Acadia's prey. And as if finding a good opportunity, Acadia gambled and won.
As Acadia was a dangerous girl, I have to say since I have accepted her, I should be in her good graces. And as Leila gave the okay saying this was her fault too, I was spared from my punishment, I was freaked out thinking about Leila leaving me, but thankfully it seemed that she was more understanding than I thought.
So since Leila was also a victim, how do you say? As Acadia was close to Leila, she made Leila speak out every detail about me, especially my weaknesses. I really wonder why Leila, as a guild master who protects so many people's secrets, went out of her way to reveal my secrets.
"I was Bragging because I had found a man." as I heard that, a feeling of delight spread over me.
It actually feels good that Leila could brag about me.
"So yeah… I know I pushed you a bit but is it still bothering you?" Acadia who acts like a saint now was leaning on me with a seductive look.
"You are a devil alright."
"What?" As if seeing her seductive charm was not working, she was surprised and showed a bewildered expression. But you should know one thing about me, I was quick to recover and quick to learn from my mistakes and I am also a sore loser. If I couldn't resist her yesterday, I could resist her today then.
"Whatever you used last time wouldn't work on me again… I have resistance that can deflect any poison from the second time. Let alone seduction."
"No wonder you survived out there…" Sadly for her, I was going to take revenge on her. And not let her drag me anymore.
"Now, since My fear that Leila would leave me has gone, I feel like a new man so Leila, I am going to take my revenge on Acadia. Do you want to say something?" I asked just to be sure but Leila gladly showed a welcoming look.
As if catching the vibe that it was dangerous for her, at this point, Acadia tried to run but in front of my speed, I doubt anyone could run. Not to mention… man.. Acadia was weak...
"Honey! I would give you good service s-so don't be like that okay?" As I blocked her exit, I took her hold and said using my blessings power that I had already mastered to some extent at this point. "As much as you teased me, believe me, I will return my feelings to you by a 100 fold.. I love you so much!"
Hearing me, she was bewildered. Although the look of slight blush was charming on her face. I was happy to say that blush won't leave for quite some time.
The feeling I held for her is not all pure. Just like Leila, she was going to feel everyone of those urges she had given me when she cornered me albeit in a boosted dose at that. since I now had control over this ability I can amplify it's effects obviously.
"This is Revenge?" she asked, being a bit surprised that nothing had happened.
"It will come, wait a bit since the scenes are longer than normal and it is still loading." Hearing some unknown words, everyone looked a bit confused apart from Leila.
She had already fallen to this attack. Although that was unintentional at that time, since it was an intentional move now, I don't have a clue what would happen.
"I hope you can hang on… Acadia, you should go to the room that has been prepared for you." Leila gave such advice but Acadia just got confused until it came.
"Ah...haaah~…! aaah~ wha.... ish..! thish!...." Since she was still on my hold, I felt her twitching on the spot and like Leila her skin became a shade of red. And her face looked erotic. Acadia had a slightly tanned skin so I could say even after teasing me yesterday, there was more than enough material in my head to keep her awake for a week. in dew time, she couldn't even move, as if she can't even gather her strength anymore.
As she wasn't able to walk, I had to carry her to her room. As everyone stared and gulped. I know that I am not always like this but in this case I think with Acadia, I will be somewhat sadistic.
"Master… never do that to me." As Sisty said so looking pleadingly, I could see Leila say "I didn't have a chance of saying that though?"
As such the family got bigger...
