Chereads / Journey of the Moonlight Swordsman / Chapter 47 - Escaping the predator

Chapter 47 - Escaping the predator

After entering the elevator and going up to the third floor, Estelle entered a room that looked like it served as a bedroom, and Finn followed behind her.

The room had its lights dimmed, and there were candles on the night tables. The bed, which was in the middle of the room, was large, and it had rose petals on it.

Finn also noticed that the smell changed as soon as he entered, and he realized that the smell was as sweet as a strawberry.

'Not bad, Finn! You are a girl magnet! Well, not as much as me, though. Back in my day, all the female angels would beg me on their knees to sleep with them, and even the female gods would come to me when they-'

'Okay Loki, stop! I am sure you were popular, but I don't want to hear about your past right now. I need some tips on how to get out of this predicament.'

Finn was starting to panic a little.

He first confessed to Sophie, then he was confessed to by Nina, and now he was being dragged into another room by Estelle.

Jonathan was probably still waiting for him, but here he was flirting with his daughters and wife.

'My advice? Hmm… Don't forget the rubber. I mean, I once forgot and-'

'Shut up! I will have to do this alone then...'

But he quickly realized that Loki would never try to help him if the situation wasn't life-threatening for him, and he would for sure not help if the situation looked like it would develop into an entertaining one.

Meanwhile, Estelle stopped right before the bed, and Finn was starting to get a little nervous.

"Sooo… What did you want to talk about exactly?"

"Do you not find me beautiful, Finn?"

She turned around and looked at him with a small pout that made her appear sad.

"…Huh? I mean, I do. You are gorgeous. Not to mention the fact that you look a lot younger than your real age. But I don't understand what that has to do with anything."

Finn was surprised to hear this question, because he didn't know why she had asked him this.

He guessed that it was to feed her ego, but that probably wasn't it.

"Then why do you reject my advances?"

'Oh no… I knew it…'

Instantly understanding what was going on, Finn grimaced.

"I am sorry, but I am already taken, and I don't want to cheat on my girlfriend, so please give up on me!"

He quickly replied, trying to nip the problem in the bud before it ended up developing into a bad situation like it did with Nina.

"You are? But when I researched your background, I ended up finding out that you haven't had a single girlfriend your entire life."

'Fucking stalkers…'

Finn cursed under his breath at how rich people could just pay someone to find out everything about a certain person they had an interest in.

"That means that your girlfriend must be either Sophie or Nina, and you just started dating while I was looking for you."

'Why is she so smart…'

Finn's frown deepened, but he still looked at Estelle and answered.

"You are right. I am dating Sophie."

"Hmm…"

Estelle crossed her arms and started tapping her index finger on her arm as if she were thinking about something, while Finn was just hoping that she wouldn't try to make any advances on him now that she knew that he was dating her daughter.

After a while, she finally opened her mouth again.

"When I saw your handsome face and how chiseled your body was, I wanted to have a fling with you, but if you are dating Sophie, then that complicates things."

'Did she just openly say she wanted to sleep with me…'

Finn's frown turned into disbelief.

'HAHA! I like her, Finn! You should pick her! I like women who know what they want and aren't afraid to say it out loud!'

And Loki kept laughing as he looked at Estelle through Finn's eyes.

'No! And this is not a dating game where I am picking someone. I am already dating Sophie, and I won't date more than one person!'

'Tsk, such a bore. Back when I was young, I had a harem of beautiful women.'

Loki dejectedly turned silent and decided to keep watching while secretly cheering for Estelle.

"I see… Well, I appreciate the compliment, but now that you know I am already dating someone, let's just forget this ever happened."

Finn was happy that it looked like Estelle had given up on him, because that would mean that he would hopefully survive and not be murdered by Jonathan's bodyguards in his sleep.

"You are right, if you are dating my daughter, then once you marry her, you will call me mother…"

Estelle nodded as she continued to stare at Finn.

"Right! So let's just move on and-"

Suddenly, Finn stopped because he saw Estelle have the same seductive smile that she had back when she started to tease him with her foot.

"Isn't that pretty hot in itself though?"

She started slowly walking towards Finn while swaying her body left and right.

"H- Hot? N- No! Nonono! It is not! So, let's just stop and go our separate ways."

Finn stuttered and tried to escape, but he soon found out that the door was locked.

It had probably been locked by a maid that Estelle had ordered before she entered the room.

After taking a few more steps, Estelle slowly arrived next to Finn and whispered into his ear.

"How about I teach you some things about women's bodies..."

"*Gulp*"

When her warm voice tickled his ear, Finn's face turned red, and he audibly gulped, but he decided to remain loyal and quickly pushed Estelle away.

"Kyaaa!"

She fell on the bed, but she didn't try to get up.

"Oh my… You are such a beast. From the moment we entered, you wanted to push me onto the bed, didn't you…"

Estelle's seductive smile didn't leave her face as she continued lying on the bed in her now disheveled dress.

"W- What? No! It is because you whispered in my ear and… and-"

Feeling like he had to explain himself, Finn started thinking of an excuse when he was suddenly interrupted.

"Fufufu… How cute…"

Estelle laughed as she watched Finn's blushing face.

But he finally had enough of playing around, so he slapped himself to wake himself up from his charmed state and decided to stand his ground.

"I am sorry, but I will never do what you want me to do. I love Sophie, and I refuse to cheat on her!"

"Oh…"

Estelle sighed with a sad expression, and Finn felt his heart break when he saw how pitiful she looked.

'No! This vixen is just trying to make me feel sorry for her. I won't give in!'

"Please unlock the door. I would like to leave!"

Estelle frowned when she saw that her sad act didn't work, so she stood up and walked towards Finn without a flirtatious smile this time.

"Since the moment I was born, I would always get whatever I wanted. Right now, I want you, so you can't say no!"

She stated, after arriving in front of him with her arms crossed and her eyebrows furrowed.

"How childish…"

But Finn only shook his head when he heard her pathetic words.

"What did you say?!"

Estelle first had a look of disbelief on her face before stomping her foot in anger.

"I said that you are childish, and you should realize that life won't always go the way you want it to, so just stop trying to get into my pants... And open the fucking door!"

Finn suddenly raised his voice and grabbed Estelle's wrist.

This surprised Estelle, and after looking up and seeing Finn's domineering gaze, she shivered and looked back down.

"…Okay."

She then nodded and gave him the key, so Finn let go of her.

'Well, that was pretty easy…'

Finn would never have guessed that Estelle would give up this easily, but he didn't want to lose this chance, so he quickly unlocked the door and left the room.

Meanwhile, the spot on Estelle's wrist where he had grabbed her turned a little red, and she started licking it.

'Ahhh... Not even my father or my husband had ever raised his voice at me...'

She thought as she shuddered and then began taking off her clothes.

After Finn had left, some of the maids that walked by Estelle's room heard soft moaning, but they paid it no attention and continued their work.

---

'Okay, at least Estelle had given up on me!'

Meanwhile, Finn was happy that he had made Estelle give up on him, and it turned out to be easier than he thought.

Loki had a lot of experience with women. So, he knew what type of woman Estelle was, and he also knew that a pervert like her would never give up that fast, but he chose to remain silent because that way it would be more fun.

Now that he finally had time, Finn wanted to go meet Jonathan, but he still didn't know where his office was.

He wanted to ask a maid, but looking around, he saw that there were none around him.

'There were always so many… Where is everyone?'

What he didn't know was that the servants had a lunch break that would give them time to eat, so they wouldn't be running around twenty-four hours a day.

And it was Finn's luck that he left Estelle's room during the lunch break.

He first tried walking around to see if some of the doors would have a nameplate on them, but none of them had one.

'How am I supposed to find something in this huge mansion.'

Looking around, Finn frowned and began to think of ways to get to Jonathan's office.

Should I go ask Nina? No, never mind. Maybe Estelle? Uhhh… let's not. Sophie then? But what if she is already logged into Second Life and I walk into her room while she is in her capsule naked…'

Finn decided not to risk ending his relationship with Sophie for a quick peek, and he wasn't shameless enough to go ask Nina for directions.

As for Estelle, he was just happy that he had escaped, and he would rather not go back.

While thinking about what to do, he felt someone tap his shoulder.

Feeling a strong sense of déjà vu again, he turned around.

Standing there was a butler that had previously walked with him and Jonathan from the helipad to the dining room.

The butler bowed, then calmly looked Finn in the eyes and opened his mouth.

"Sir Finn, I was-"

But before he could even finish his first sentence, he was immediately interrupted by Finn.

"I am so sorry, but I can't accept your feelings!"

Finn was so shaken up by all the events today that he rejected the butler, thinking it was another love confession.

The butler's professional stone face cracked, and he was immediately stupefied. He raised his eyebrows, and his eyes opened wide in disbelief.

"…Excuse me?"
