"Lord, Lady Hui awaits your presence,"
"Lead the way," I requested, removing my mask and changing attire, motioning for Acantha to guide me. "I've missed Squad 2 greatly. Where have you all been?"
"I regret to inform you, my Lord, that Lady Hui instructed us to maintain silence regarding this manner," Acantha explained.
"I see," I murmured, contemplating their absence.
They must have been plundered apart figuratively given Hui's obsession with me and their continuous failure to protect me.
Luckily Hui doesn't know who orchestrates the attack or it'll be a huge problem for her and my plan.
.....
"You won't enter?" ... "OK so You will be guarding me from outside."
______________________________
"So where shall we begin our conversation?" Hui inquired, attempting to engage in a dialogue that would have drained me mentally.
"Second squad Guards, you all may leave," I telepathically communicated, ensuring privacy for this mentally draining intimate exchange.
Maybe It was just me but the vibe and air shifted as guards were discretely dismissed.
"From where you wish to talk?" I said to her in a loving tone carrying a vibration of innocence and sex.
"The most important aspect of life is to recognize that Promises are generally broken despite their sincere intention at the time of their formation but believe me my act this time was unintentional and I love you the most, my sweetheart."
"Then I must be a fool to forgive you and trust you" she retorted, her voice tinged with a mixture of sorrow and anger, reflecting a weary heart still grappling with lingering emotions.
"You're the smartest woman I've ever met, and the most beautiful," I said to her while smiling with my eyes sincere. "The greatest crime is to now to curse each other and be sorrowful."
"So there are many women You've met" She ignored my praise and pushed me to the corner mentally. My mistake, I should not compare to make her feel better when she already is.
A genuine smile formed on my lips, emanating warmth and honesty. "Let's start anew, leaving behind the scars of the past, and embrace the possibility of a fresh beginning."
The room seemed to hold its breath as silence enveloped and everything seemed to come on the right track.
"Your past records don't give me a reason to trust you. You're only loyal to your feelings and I'm loyal to not only my feelings toward you but even duties."
"I'm just a 9-year-old kid despite the fact I look 14, You're putting a lot of pressure on me."
"You're a king and in an environment, you were brought up in Duties Oath and Honor should be of the highest importance for you."
"Appreciating the differences and growing & improving together is what make a relationship more satisfying and harmonious."
Hui's eyes bore into mine, searching for sincerity, searching for a glimmer of hope. "Actions speak louder than words," she remarked cautiously.
"I can't change past or heal wounds. We can only live with it."
I said approaching her, hugging her tightly to her surprise, and not letting her push me away.
I now had no intention of arguing, fighting, or complaining any longer.
I listened to all her complaints deflecting her attention from the argument and making her focus on herself and her desire. I made her feel her spirit. Made her believe that I felt her pain, adapting myself to her mood.
Now I had completely diffused the tension between us and made her express her grievances.
I made the conversation lighthearted and fun making her feel better about herself and calmed her down by infusing lightness into our interaction.
I saw her expression softening and now she climbed upon me. she was breathing heavily and Hui's eyes bore into mine. Very sexy and very scary at the same time.
The weight of Hui's words echoed in the silence lingering in the air, as she was whispering with her heavy breathing, laden with a warning that reverberated in my mind. "This time, just this time I'm letting it slide, next time I'll chain you in my basement...I mean This time, I'll let it go, but I won't be as forgiving next time and next time I won't let you go anywhere."
She hinted at the consequences quite well, though I firmly believe the basement part got leaked unintentionally. I'll carry more escaping treasures from today on.
'You're right. ..... What? Are you surprised I admitted my mistake? I always accept my mistakes and improve upon them if It benefits me. Provide me with Good advice and I'll treat you better.'
(after half an hour of cuddling)
"Why do I think you deflected the conversation" She stopped, took a breath, and continued " And part of the reason we ended up like this is to avoid where our conversation was going." She questioned. Observing her closely, I could see a furrow forming on her Eyebrow.
Maintaining a soft and playful tone to ease the tension, I joked softly, "As long as you're not complaining,"
"But I..." she attempted to retort back which was interrupted by a soft gesture from me. At that moment, she looked exquisitely beautiful.
"Shhhhhhh," I whispered, placing my finger gently over her lips, urging silence.
She turned tomato red. .....
"Dear, Isn't our beauty has little to distinguish it from that of a Boddhitakara and hasn't our brilliant birth been so wonderful?".
"Yes Yes, for us is prophesied a Divine Destiny together as soul mates" I nodded to her remark.
"Hmmm, Match made in heaven hehe" She started smiling and giggling.
I finally closed the door to her Anger and Distrust completely but She seems batshit crazy as far as I can interpret her inside thoughts.
I wish I wasn't so smart to see through her.
"Dear Dear," She muttered "Yes Yes" I muttered back.
"Augustine doesn't love you at all dear. You won't meet and make love to her right? Right?" She said with loveful eyes which were ready to pierce a dagger onto me if I said Yes.
'System What was The love percentage when I met Hui and now? '
'Now what is the love percentage of Augustine toward me?'
<30%>
"I only love you Hui," I said "You're gonna be my first wife and How can I marry a 2nd woman without the permission of my sweetheart"
She hugged me listening to this and said "I love you" She continued now her voice changed "I'm still mad for your past scandalous act"
So Scary.
What I have is pure understanding in me, I could put myself in someone else position and understand them and their behavior patterns, personality traits, and emotional triggers though not empathize with them and for the first time in my life I could interpret a person but not understand.
'She changes her mind from a detached mature woman to a Loving wife to a Love-sick killer real quick.'
'I was the deputy head of the Behavioral & Cognitive Analysis Unit in my past life equipped with the memory of a genius brat now. That's a black mark for me, system. Well, I can still control her so not a problem.'
'Well, what we are is merely a creation of genetic makeup and memories. Interestingly, since our souls have fused, there is no distinction between the previous owner of this body and mine but I'm more than just that. Right system?'
'Show me the quests that I put on hold.'
