Chapter 5 - Just A Little More

As Ryan continued on his way he began to strategize on how he was going to dominate his sister. 

After a while he found himself in the courtyard, sitting on a chair as he mind raced through his thoughts. 

He thought on getting her something she like in order increase her favorability and affection towards him. 

He recalls when they were young, she used to like flowers. But that was just a theory, there was no an assassin would like flowers. 

'Well it's worth trying' with that thought Ryan headed into the city to find some flowers and also because he wanted to get a view of what the Imperial City was like.

I didn't take him long to walk from his house to the town square. 

It was indeed a lively place. The reason why people could be so lively with the ongoing war currently was because of they were protected from the outside world. 

The Imperial City also was a dome city. 

A magical dome that covered the whole city, making it impossible for demons or other countries to get through with an attack. 

It was like transparent glass that would vaporize anything it comes in contact with. The only opening was at the ship port which helped in communication and trade with other cities.

Ofcourse every city had it's own form of defense to protect against the demons. But the Imperial City was far more advanced in Alchemy and Sorcery which a much greater advantage against them.

The city homed to Blackbloods making it the largest one on Spectra. Blackbloods, as the name implies are mostly human, but the only variation was the color of their blood and their elf like ears, apart from these, they were human in every way.

As Ryan got to the town square he noticed how lively it was, the sound of music and people going about their daily activities reverberated with the atmosphere. 

Ryan headed to a flower shop, where he hoped to get some flowers for Ren.

He got into the shop and was meet with a variety of flowers. Ryan wasn't sure on which one she liked so he picked one from every flower in the shop.

After paying, Ryan came out holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

This new world was like a dream come true for him....it was a dream come true for him. A world where he no longer had to hide his ambitions but be able to fulfill them.

After a while of walking around the town square, Ryan decided to head back seeing as it was getting late.

As the a day faded away, Ryan came back home feeling a bit exhausted as he had bought other things apart from flowers. He went into his room and layed in a supine position as he waited from Ren to come back. 

She had started the going to the academy to take some tests and classes, but she wasn't fully enrolled yet, that's why she always came back home.

After a little while Ren came back and Ryan saw this as an opportunity to give her to flowers.

As he approached her room he noticed it wasn't locked, slowly pushing it open.

Behold a holy sight awaited him as he saw Ren in nothing but her undies, she was about to take a shower before Ryan came in. Ryan was stood motionless before the magnificent sight in front of him. 

When Ren saw him she didn't show any signs of being shy or afraid, rather she wanted to know why Ryan was in her room.

"Hey Ryan" Ren said as she stopped covering her breast and proceeded to get a towel. Before that she gave Ryan a little view of what her mountain peaks looked like.

Ryan still dumbstruck by the scene unfolding in front of him. He could feel his dragon awaken from it's slumber ready to soar.

"What are you doing? Are you ok?" Ren asked with a worried tone as she moved closer to him wondering why he was just standing there. 

After she said this Ryan was jolted back to reality and out of dreamland.

"Oh..um..i wanted to give you these flowers, i know how much you like them" Ryan said presenting the flowers which he had bought for her.

Waiting for a statement of rejection from her, Ryan was greeted with a warm embrace by his sister. 

Turns out that his hypothesis was right; she still does love flowers. 

Now that was out of the way, Ryan was in total shock of what was happening, but remained calm as he responded back to her hug.

After some minutes of a warm embrace between them, Ren pulled herself apart from him, collecting the flowers from him as tears ran down her eyes.

But that wasn't Ryan's main worry, his main concern was why she was so open in front of him and didn't bother covering up.

Well the answer would be simple; Back before the former Ryan turned cold and heartless toward her, they were very close together and when you say 'close together' i mean close together. She wasn't the type that showed anyone her body, even her parents, that spot was reserved for only for Ryan, her brother. 

Knowing this Ryan couldn't help but still ask "why don't you cover up?" Ryan said waiting for a reply from her.

In that moment Ren turned towards him and gave him a curious face. 

"Why? It's nothing you haven't seen before" Ren said as she turned to put down the flowers. 

"Don't you like seeing me this way" Ren said teasingly to Ryan.

With that statement Ryan's dragon began to break free from it's cage.

'No,no, not now' Ryan said inwardly looking at big bulge forming in his pants. It took all of his willpower just to put his dragon at sleep.

After this Ryan just laughed putting his hand behind his head putting up a playful facade.

"Well i guess I'll take my leave" Ryan said exiting the door behind him.

"Oh....and thanks for the flowers" Ren said with a slight blush on her face. 

"No worries" Ryan said as he exited the room.

Getting to his room Ryan fell faintly on his bed thinking about what just happened. 

While lost in his thoughts his panel came up, hovering over him.

[You have gained an increased favorability and affection from Ren Carter.

Favorability:75/80

Affection:70/80

You can not proceed to dominate her]

After reading this a devilish grin crawled upon Ryan's face. His flower plan was a success.

'Just a little more' Ryan said inwardly as his face wore a mischievous smile.
