Chapter 19: Kitty Charm Skill
'She is not responding,' Alex inwardly said.
He didn't want to impose himself onto Schnee, but wasn't it a perfect time to have their first talk? It wasn't like Alex came without any reason, and similarly, Schnee also shouldn't just ignore him like that.
He could've taken much worse paths and plotted against sisters' wellbeing. He could've done so many evil things already.
'Well… She might think I am faking things,' Alex sighed.
He still believed it was a perfect time for some conversation. Thus, he decided to give himself a little more time before going his way.
And after additional thirty minutes, Alex's patience bore fruit.
Schnee's doors opened. She came out in her casual clothes, exuding a pleasant aroma that had quickly assailed Alex's nose.
"I couldn't bother myself with you, so I went to take a bath. I am not fond of bathing, so you are lucky," Schnee crossed her arms beneath her ample chest.
She glared at Alex with narrowed eyes.
'Another one? Well, she is a cat woman,' Alex replied inwardly.
It was probably due to her race, but Schnee's bathing was always quick. She took some time today since Alex was the reason she went to the bathroom this early.
But even after spending more time in the bath while ignoring him, Alex didn't go away. He patiently waited, and his efforts bloomed!
"I will be going outside soon. Do you want something? You can think of it as a present or souvenir," Alex maintained composure, smiling widely.
However, he needed to exert much more willpower than ever in his life.
That was because Schnee wore pretty tempting clothes. Her shirt was cut, revealing her stomach wholly. Her chest was also big, pushing her clothes up a little more. If Alex bowed before her, he would be able to easily peek at her naked breasts from below.
Her short pants were also too short. To say nothing of her long legs exposed, Alex could throw his eyes into her pants and see some of her panties.
She showed too much of her skin.
Behind her, a playful cat tail danced…
And the fact that she was a beautiful woman didn't help Alex, either. She also liked to tease, so switching from innocent to sexy was simply a trifle. She came straight out of the bathroom, so Schnee quickly played around with her looks.
"Present?" she repeated, her finger coiling around her wet hair, "Hmmm… I know! Elias Deathwill. Bring him back here, and I will give you a kiss. How about it?"
Alex chuckled, "I want to give you a present because I want to do it, not because I want you to reciprocate. And even if your kiss might be worth more than kingdoms, I still have to politely refuse.
Who knows where that hypocrite is, after all?" Alex titled his head and shrugged.
Schnee hugged herself seductively and asked, "Hypocrite?"
Alex's last sentence somewhat intrigued her.
Noticing it immediately, Alex nodded, "Well. If you think I have been chosen as his successor because I am the same, you are wrong. He is a hypocrite that demands loyalty and unquestionable trust from his women. Yet, he never planned to give the same, equal love.
If it were me, I would be pretty open and vocal about it," Alex replied seriously.
Schnee's playfulness disappeared, and she gravely stared back at him.
And from that short exchange alone, Alex completed the sisters' introduction.
First, he knew that Sara was disappointed in her father. But if push came to shove, she probably would protect and side with him. It didn't look like she harbored a killing intent toward him.
As far as Stella was concerned, she probably didn't care. At worst, she might dislike her father because he hadn't prepared enough stuff for her, mainly loyal servants.
And lastly, Schnee.
That cat wanted blood.
From the steps she took toward him, Alex was sure of it.
[Schnee Deathwill has used a charm skill on you.]
She once again used one of her charm skills on him. However, the reason behind her move was much different this time. She wanted to charm Alex and confirm his words.
Unfortunately for Schnee, she was doomed to fail. And the reason for her failure was exactly the person she despised.
But as she made her way toward him in cat and seductive steps, Alex braced himself and deeply stared at her, "You can't charm me."
He revealed her ploy.
Then, Alex added in a deep and confident tone, "I don't know your plan for this castle. But if you want to use all of its power against your father, then you are fated to fail. That is because I will use this power for my growth.
I will level up and unlock other facilities. This castle's power will fuel my and my friends' growth. For now, I won't reveal it to anyone as I care about Celia, Sara, and Stella. I also keep you in consideration, Schnee."
Schnee sneered, "If you invite other players now, you will draw a certain line between you and my sisters. You can't invite players yet."
"True. But I have to reveal a little of my plans to you. Unlike your sisters, your goal seems much grander. Or at least that's how I feel right now. I am not that close with any of you to know what you really want…" Alex smiled faintly.
Each sister was unique. Each of his 'wives' required Alex to take different steps.
And in that spur of the moment, Alex decided to face Schnee head-on.
He revealed her ploy, then told her his plans.
He really wanted to spend time with his friends. He also wanted them to help him with the castle's enemies, mainly the hungry demons. In that way, he also would introduce wonderful people to Celia and make her life merrier.
But more than anything, Alex wanted to enjoy the game to the fullest.
He wanted everyone to have a good time, so leveling up was a must!
"Give me your charm skill," Alex said bluntly, "You can't charm me, but I also shouldn't be able to charm you. If I am correct, you excel in various buffs and debuffs skills. Charm is just one of your skills."
"So?" Schnee tilted her head, seeming amused.
Alex sneered widely, "You can't charm me, and I won't be able to charm you with my low proficiency charm skill anytime soon.
However, that's as far as charm skill goes. People can naturally fall in love. If you make my heart skip a beat, it will be my loss. And if my low proficiency charm skill scratches your heart, then that will be my win," Alex revealed his plan to face Schnee head-on.
He gave her enough time to think about it.
Then, Schnee nodded, "Sure."
[Your relationship with Schnee Deathwill has progressed.]
[Schnee Deathwill has passed, Kitty Charm Skill, to you.]
[You have learned Kitty Charm Skill.]
"Wait… This is a passive skill?" Alex nearly face palmed himself.
In his show of confidence, he didn't check the skill's information. He just accepted it, and it was his mistake.
Of course, that skill wasn't anything terrible.
"You will appear as cat-man to everyone. Only those who truly love you will be able to see your human self," Schnee grinned, extending her hands.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, her ample chest splashing onto his, "I quickly get bored of my clothes. For a present, I want you to buy me the highest quality pajamas. Thanks!"
Then, she let him go and went back to her room, swaying her big ass left and right.
Alex stood dazed, but his composure was great!

"How do I look to you, Stella?" Alex asked probingly.
Stella opened her eyes, then whispered, "Cat."
"Cat… I am really a cat man in your eyes, huh…" Alex shook his head.
He indeed looked like a cat to her!
And that's how everyone would perceive him as such!
"Handsome Cat," Stella added.
"Thanks for the encouragement," Alex sighed, then gave her a head pat.
And from that day onward, Stella would ask for head pats.
