... It's a Death Mission.
Instantly, I released the pressure of Demi-god level filling the entire room. Even making Ellen suffocated on it, while Yves got a pale face and was groaning in pain, ignoring everything I asked Yves.
"Are you serious"
Yves nodded in return. Taking a long breath I retraced my Aura. Yves breathed a sigh of relief Ellen moved her head in my direction confused.
"It is not that bad to get so serious right."
Neither Yves replied her not me, Ellen has never seen a monster of that rank, she would probably freeze after seeing it. For reference, even demon king is of the same level.
Yves knew about it so she wasn't much surprised at Leon's excessive reaction.
I started thinking about my gains, for others, it may be a death wish but for me, it's an opportunity. Just where should I use it.
...I think I know the best place to use it.
"Ellen can you leave us alone for a while."
"Why?"
"It's nothing I just need to talk personally to your sister."
"...Mm," Ellen was suspicious but still nodded and left. Trusting me that I wouldn't harm her sister.
Only I and Yves were remaining in the room, she was waiting for me to speak.
"So...Miss Yves do you know the gravity of the situation."
"I know."
"Your sister can die, you still say you know?"
Yves was silent briefly before replying. "As much as I want to go in place of her, but I can't do it."
I nodded.
"Why don't you try asking help from Archangel's or Gods. It comes under Treaty of Gods, it's not our work."
Yves smiled bitterly. "I contacted church but they said, they needed confirmation before taking any action. As for other gods, nobody knows where they are."
"Sigh, ...you are in deep trouble this time."
The demon king despite being Near-God level is not attacked by gods only because he is a King and acts as a representative of the race. It never goes personally destroying everything on the battlefield that's something that his army does.
As for beasts, they will kill everything in their sight gods are allowed to interfere in it. But are gods free enough to do that voluntarily!?, No way, heck even I don't care about it if it weren't for the gains.
If she waits for Goddess Celestine of the church to make move probably half of the empire would have been destroyed by then.
I shook all my thoughts off my head and stared at Yves in front of me. " I will do that but with one condition."
"... Speak."
"You will help my sister Lena for getting a Librarian post at Imperial Institute."
... I need to settle Lena as soon as possible or else I wouldn't be able to enjoy the life. Yesterday somehow I handled it, but I can't do that every time.
There was hesitation on Yves's face clearly visible not knowing how to reply.
...I gave her a final push.
"Think about it, I can protect your sister in return as well."
Yves gritted her teeth and asked. "How can I take your guarantee."
"Because there is no better candidate than me."
Indeed there is no better candidate than him, first, he is strongest among demigods she has seen and even with unknown origin he is in a relationship with Ellen. As for others, they can betray you at any time.
Yves reorganised her thoughts thinking about loss and gains.
Finally, she decided to go against the idea of hiring someone else. "Okay I will get it arranged till tomorrow, the headmistress there knows me. It won't be hard to arrange it for you."
"Good" I smiled faintly and nodded. Inwardly I laughing, girl I would have protected Ellen either way but it's better like this.
"...So when are we departing."
"Tomorrow morning," Yves replied.
"No problem."
Yves was struggling internally whether to ask or not. I also noticed her abnormality.
What is she worried about now?
"Miss Yves you can speak freely after all we are a family."
Yves showed a complicated look on the family word but it was not the time for quarrelling on it...
"... Do you love Ellen."
Umm... I gazed at her intrigued was she just worried about this.
"What do mean by love Miss Yves." Then I stood up and moved in her direction. Placing my hand on her desk I stared into her crimson eyes and smirked.
Yves panicked. "T-That-t..."She was unable to face my intense gaze and looked sideways.
"Haha you are Cute you know"
Yves was still looking sideways but her cheek flushed lightly.
"Hm..about love what do you think, I don't think you should use that word, anyone will betray you with enough reason, a lover can easily betray you if someone threatened her family and the same lover can betray her family for something, a mother can betray her husband for her child."
"Anyone can betray you, just he or she needs a perfect reason."
Yves wanted to say something.
But without giving her time to react, I moved next to her ears and whispered."But...If you asking whether I like her or not indeed I like her just as I...like you as well Miss Yves."
Yves's face turned completely red to her ears. I was surprised by her excessive girly reaction. To think that she would have such a side.
Previously, my intent was just to tease this girl a little but now... hehe.
I smirked with a playful expression.
Suddenly I leaned close to her, I kissed her lips without giving her a chance to react.
!!! Yves mind turned blank.
She opened her eyes wide, trying to understand what was happening, but only saw my eyes looking right into hers.
I used my tongue to force Yves's lips open. Yves was still in a state of shock. She could not believe that her first kiss was lost like this.
When she felt my tongue licking her teeth, she involuntarily opened her mouth. I took advantage of that moment to insert my tongue inside, causing her to moan in surprise.
After a few seconds like that, I separated my lips from hers.
"Huu, huu…" Yves breathed heavily, trying to catch her breath after the long kiss. Her face had turned completely red and her body was strangely hot. It was the first time she felt like this.
"Consider this as my payment."
I winked at her once. Then without caring about her reaction I left the room.
*click*
The sound of door locking resounded waking up Yves.
She was left in a daze alone inside the room. Only the sound of the clock ticking echoed.
Yves slumped down on her chair. Her body was completely limp from the aftertaste of kiss. She stared blankly at the direction Leon left with complicated thoughts.
He was supposed to be her brother-in-law. She should have scolded him and pushed him away but she done...nothing even let him do as he, please.
How would she face him after this??
She stared upwards at sealing and let a long sigh.
"... How will I explain this to Ellen... How can I do something so immoral...this isn't like you, Yves," Yves muttered.
...
Outside the door.
Moving towards the Guildhall, I soon find a lonely figure of Ellen at a glance.
She was sitting alone lost in her own thoughts.
"Hello!" I shook her lightly to bring her back to reality.
"Let's go."
Ellen nodded and followed the figure in front of her absent-mindedly.
She seems pretty down? What happened to her.
"What happened to you."
"Nothing." Ellen shook her head. "... why?." She murmured in a gloomy mood.
"Huh"
"Why did sister treats me as a child? Always it's been like that, now even you..."
"You are looking at that with the wrong perspective."
"!?"
"See it like this, she is protecting you."
Ellen frowned. "B-But I don't need protection."
"Fuff... you are wrong again. She is protecting you but as a family, her only family."
"F-Family."
I nodded at her.
Ellen was astonished but soon looked at me gratefully. "...Thanks, you Leon."
I can only smile wryly.
This pair of sisters truly sure are fascinating,.
One is of completely rebellious, adamant and stubborn personality while another is mature and cunning, who had constructed layers of mental defences around her making her look imposing. But regardless she is still a weak and frail, young girl inside.
Along the way, Ellen mood turned a lot better.
Today I decided to bring Lena for sightseeing in the Capital. Ellen also joined us as she was rather free.
I also told Lena news of her joining the institute again, she was excited and happy, but after thinking she is going to live at the teachers's dormitory she was rather worried. But all her worries were unnecessary. She forgotten, I can teleport to her anytime.
Unfortunately, we didn't meet any young masters along the way, sigh... life is boring like this.
For the rest of the day, Ellen was with us. But in the evening she left as she needed to prepare for tomorrow.
At night Lena also excused herself on account of being tired.
And I got left alone to sleep today...
Hm...do I need to increase the number of women?..
Removing all the useless thoughts off my head, I closed my eyes.
