Adam sat comfortably on Calithia's lap, enjoying the softness and warmth it provided. Calithia, in turn, delighted in running her fingers through his hair, both of them basking in the moment of tranquility and intimacy.
"OH! Right, darling, since you're the son of the dragon emperor, have you met your siblings yet?" she asked, her eyes twinkling with curiosity
"Yes, at least two of them." Adam replied.
Earlier, he asked her some questions while he was busy spanking her. One of them being why he was supposed to meet her. Apparently it was a deal with the emperor, he had helped her with something in the past, in return she had to bless his descendants.
However, she added a condition, it being that she had to acknowledge his descendants in order for them to be blessed by her. In total, only two were worthy enough to be blessed by her.
Of course, the second question being why did he have to walk to get here? In return, she said that she was…upset. Apparently one of his brothers who he had never met before was annoying her.
According to her, he always came to visit her. Being face to face, he bent down to a 90 degree angle, extended one of his hands to her and shouted, "Please, marry me!" to which she replied, "Hell No!" This has happened multiple times, all those times ended with her rejecting him with the same line.
But for some reason he never gave up! He kept coming back, again and again which deeply annoyed her to the core. If it wasn't because of who his father was, she would have killed him already!
Until, Mr. Ralph came to visit her and told her one of the emperor's sons was coming to visit her, of course Mr. Ralph never clarified who it was, but she assumed it was him again since he kept visiting her. At that time, she never knew that the emperor had another son.
Assuming it was him again, the only thing she could do to him was make him walk towards her. Never would she imagine the one who would show up would be her darling!
A year ago, she had learned that her darling had arrived to this world together with Violet, however, she didn't know when or where they arrived, but to think he was the son of the dragon emperor!
Thinking of something, she made Adam look up to her, "by the way, where is violet?"
"She's currently at the elven kingdom." Adam replied.
"Oh." Calithia was surprised, she would have thought that Violet would be together with Adam, but to her surprise she wasn't!
'Wait, does that mean I'm his first wife to meet him?' Upon pondering for two seconds, she came to the conclusion that it was highly possible. After all, Adam had only been in this world for five years, making it close to impossible for him to have met any of his wives yet, except her.
"Hehehe~~!" Coming to the conclusion that she was the first one to meet Adam, she giggled happily making Adam turn to look at her face, "What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing darling…Nothing at all." Even though she said that, Adam was certain there was something going on with her since she tightened her grip around his waist.
Adam:...don't make me dumb! Of course I know what's going with her!
????: alright! Alright! I'm sorry.
Being the experienced person he is, Adam naturally came to figure out what was happening to this wife of his.
And to make her more happy, he intended to clarify her thoughts.
"You're right, you're the first wife to meet me." He said, making a happy wife even more happy!
"Hehehe~, is that so? Then I'm happy!" her grip around Adam tightened even more.
'It's a pity he was younger. Otherwise, I would have pinned him down to the ground and make him mine here and now! Just hurry and grow already!' she thought, suppressing her desires.
[????: she's a freak!]
"...."
'Did you hack into my system?' Adam thought.
[????: Yes! That way I could communicate with you easier. It's boring traveling through space without talking to someone!]
'Is that so?'
[????: Yes! I can also use the system to watch you in real time! Isn't that convenient?]
"....."
'Isn't that invading my privacy?' He asked.
[????: what privacy do you have?]
"....."
'Whatever, do what you want.' if it ever comes to be, Adam could just simply block her from ever watching him through the system!
Amused, Adam asked, 'Also, why are you not showing your name?'
[????: It's simple! I need a proper introduction!]
"....."
'Why don't I just reveal your name?' He boldly stated.
[????: Nooo! I need my introduction!]
'Alright, alright. I'll let you have it this time.'
[????:....Thanks.]
*sigh*
Suddenly, he heard Calithia sigh to herself.
Intrigued, he posed a question, "what happened?"
"sigh….Now that I think about it. Darling, all your siblings are quite troublesome! Especially that older sister of yours! " she said. In all her years that she has been living in this world, the sons and daughters of the emperor were the most annoying by far.
"Oh!" Surprise and Intrigued, Adam decided to acquire more, "What about them? Also which sister are you talking about? After all, I have three older sisters." Although he only met one, she wasn't that troublesome, just a bit.
After pondering for a while, she said, "It should be the oldest one. What was her name again?....Mmmm?...Hah! Right, It was Astridra!" she nodded.
"Yes, I met her before," he replied. To be more precise, she was the first one he got to meet among his other siblings. Their meeting was weird, the only thing Adam noticed was that his emotions were not in the right place, and the fact that his intelligence dropped quite a bit, enough for him to not notice until two days later.
"What about her?" he asked, since he was here, it would be a shame to miss the opportunity of learning about his siblings.
After sorting out her thoughts, Calithia responded, "Well, first things first, let's talk about her powers."
Adam's ear immediately perked up, after all, it's not everyday you got to learn about one's power, "Go on." he urged her.
She nodded and continued, "At the beginning, her powers involve coping. It was something she created herself. As the name suggests, she copies things involving powers, emotions, and even the appearances of someone. However, the strength of the power she copies amounts to only ten percent compared to the original. But, she evolved that ability of hers, to the point where the copy version compares to the original, however, it's a only one used ability.
"Now comes the interesting part. She evolved her ability until it's able to steal things, whether its powers, emotions, or even the lifespan of people. Of course, whatever it is she's trying to steal, it must be close to her strength, if something is way stronger than her, then she's cooked! That ability of hers gave her the title "The Stealer" though only few know the meaning behind it."
"That means that if you already met her, it's highly likely she stole something from you. Also, the emotions she has stolen from her countless victims makes her stronger." She Added.
'Oh, does that mean she stole the jealousy I felt at that time? did my intelligence drop because she had stolen it? My emotions at that time were well under my control …...did she make me have the jealousy of one of her victims hoping to make it even larger through me so that she could absorb it? However, the jealousy I felt at that time wasn't a great amount....Wait! When we flew around the kingdom, I felt little to no happiness, at that time, I thought it was normal since I wasn't one to feel great amounts of emotions. But was she the one who was stealing? Only leaving me feeling so little of it, enough for me to not have noticed anything strange.' Having those thoughts, Adam was surprised, to think he didn't notice anything strange was happening!
'Her inviting me to touch her horns or ears was a way for me to let my guard down! Her being my wife was also a lie! Her wearing strange clothes was a way to foul the jealousy I felt!' Now that Adam thought more deeply about it, the amount of intelligence she had stolen was a great amount, almost close to 60 percent! And the effect was immediate, leaving him no chance to think about what had happened since he became so dumb immediately!
His emotions started sparkled out of control, but he quickly gained control after noticing it. 'Doesn't matter, the amount she had stolen has already generated. I will just have to give her a little punishment in the future.' Having contemplated his plans, he relaxed.
If he wants to punish her, he will have to find a way to counter her ability of coping and stealing. But that will have to be in the future, now he was already preoccupied with training.
