Chapter 58 Deal
"Yeah."
Angela nodded, then smiled brightly:
"So I was right, you are a half human."
"Correct."
Aaron nodded with a smile. \'That\'ll do for now.\'
"Hmm--"
"--Before you ask another question, I\'ll like to ask only one... Why are you after me?"
Aaron placed the cup on the table, staring deeply at her.
Angela relaxed on her seat, after some Seconds of contemplating... She finally opened her mouth.
"I want you."
Aaron: "Pardon?"
Protean: \'I knew it!!\'
"Ahem! It seems I don\'t understand you, Can you clarify yourself?"
"It\'s normal for you to be surprise... So I\'ll explain, I need you to be my boyfriend, after we become Adults, You\'ll marry me... That\'s what I want from you, and that\'s the reason I want to be close to you."
She said in a straight tone.
\'Wow! A 16-year-old girl proposing marriage to my master, who\'s not even 2 years old... Am I the only one flabbergasted?\'
Aaron glared at Protean on his shoulder, and turned his head back to Angela.
"That was surprising, but… What Is the main reason for taking this route? You have a long life ahead, why thinking about marriage?"
\'He didn\'t refuse? That\'s a good sign.\'
Angela sighed:
"The councils board are eyeing the throne, and my father doesn\'t have any Sons who would be the next king after him, that\'s why... My father and the councils have asked me countless times to choose a guy... But I have my standard... I can\'t just pick anyone... That\'ll be wrong... It has been a year now...
When my father got worked up, he asked me to move to the Academy... My main purpose coming here is not about the resources or training... I\'m already the strongest in our generation... My purpose is to find the right boy, and a powerful one at that."
\'That was surprising long, But wait... This girl is so desperate that she asked me to be her boyfriend and when we become Adults, we\'ll instantly get married... Hmm.... As for the moment, the Human empire has a very large army, Mine is not even half their size... If I accept, I\'ll be able to know the inside out, and even conquer them without resulting to war... Yeah...
I\'m strong enough to wipe them out, but where\'s the fun in that? It will be rather fun, watching my army tear them to pieces... Ok... I\'ll accept to be her boyfriend, get all the information and resources I need, and maybe... Use her in some way... I hope Emily understand...
But, let\'s have a little fun.\'
The Seconds Aaron was lost in thought, Angela was covered in sweat, thinking he\'ll refuse, she was slightly frustrated that she couldn\'t read his thoughts.
"Hmm... What about your father? He seems healthy, Why are you in such a rush?" He asked.
"Well... Well..."
\'She\'s hesitating, something might be wrong with her father.\'
Angela took a deep breath, and observed Aaron.
"How do I know I can trust you, Jack? My family have a lot of enemies, and more than half of them are after the throne."
Aaron smiled slightly, He placed his hand on hers, which was resting on the table, and slowly squeezed it. Find adventures at empire
"Ah."
Angela quickly covered her mouth with her left hand, her face red in embarrassment.
\'What? He touched me, why did I feel like I\'m...? No... Focus...\'
Aaron smiled hearing her Moan.
\'This skill is worse than I thought, It seems its effect increased if the one in contact has some feelings for me... Again, how did Emily feel when I touched her?\'
He nodded in reassurance:
"You can trust me, You are the first good person I met when I entered this Academy, Not like your sister."
"Fufufufu... Yeah, sorry for my sister\'s attitude... Ok..."
She took a deep breath:
"My father has a heart issue, the physician said when he\'s cultivating, the violent energies In him damage his heart... So he won\'t live for 10 more years... The Councils know about this, that\'s why they\'re all planning on taking the throne."
"Heart condition? You said he\'ll live for 10 years, you still have more years ahead of you."
"That was two years ago, my father now has only 8 years..."
\'Why don\'t he carried countless women and sleep with all of them? One will surely give birth to a boy.\'
Aaron turned his head to Protean again.
\'What? I\'m giving a valid suggestion here.\'
Angela moved her gaze from Protean to Aaron. \'These two are communicating! This bird might be In a higher stage, Maybe a Demon-Stage or Cursed
-Demon!\'
"What did he say?"
Out of curiosity she asked.
"Who?" Aaron asked in mild confusion.
"Your familiar, He said something, what is it?"
"He said why don\'t your father marries more women? 10 years is enough to impregnate many women, and with his title and position, a lot of women will readily agree."
"Fufufufu... Your familiar surely has a sharp brain... My father is loyal to my Mom, Although she\'s dead, But he hasn\'t slept with anyone."
Aaron let go of her hand and relaxed, his gaze fixed on her... Angela was confused why he removed his hand from hers, and stared at him in confusion.
"You know what, Angela?" Aaron stood up, his expression flat:
"I accept, But..." He raised one finger.
"No touching, or any of that sort... And I\'ll have to tell Lori about this, she\'ll be heartbroken, but I\'m doing this for myself."
"Yes, Who is that slut by the way?" Angela asked with killing intent.
"If you insult her next time, we are done."
Aaron\'s eyes changed from Blue to red, then back to its usual blue, Angela blinked.
\'Did his eyes just? No, I might be seeing things.\' Before she could say anything, Aaron sat back down.
"Now... Let\'s talk about my gain."
"Gain?"
"Do you think I\'ll do this for free? I told you, I\'m not the good guy type who want to save a damsel in distress."
"..."
